Chapter 1198
"Oh, James..."
Bryce called out.He was slowly approaching James and Thea.
Soon, he was within James’ field of vision. Seeing that James was treating his injuries with Thea standing beside him, he
breathed a sigh of relief before saying with a smile, “I knew that you'd have no problem surviving a jump off a cliff.”
James remained silent.
Bryce walked over to him and asked, "How are you feeling?”
James opened his eyes and looked at him weakly. “My injuries are rather serious. I need time to heal. Why don't you return first?
Once my I recover, I'll meet up with you at the Mount Thunder Sect."
Bryce briefly hesitated before saying, "James, I think it's better if I help you up.”
Glancing at him, James nodded slightly. "That works too."
Bryce then walked over to him.
James slowly got up with the help of the Blade of Justice.
Bryce helped him up and said, ‘Til take you out of here first. Once you're safe, I'll return for Thea.”
"Sure."
James nodded.
“Let's get going, then.”
Grabbing James by the arm, Bryce catalyzed True Energy and began to scale the cliff.
However, at that moment, James pulled out the Blade of Justice and pierced Bryce's body.
"You..."
Bryce froze. His eyes bulged, unable to believe what just happened.
Then, James catalyzed all of his remaining True Energy in his palm, and he struck Bryce's chest with great force.
Bryce’s chest was dented by the impact. It became bloody and mutilated. Then, he was sent flying by a powerful force.
Slamming against the wall of the cliff a few meters away, he collapsed to the ground.
Blergh!
With James forcibly catalyzing True Energy, his injuries were aggravated. He vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the
ground.
"Darling!"
Thea hurriedly ran over to James and helped him up.
James waved. "I'm alright."
Though he had pierced Bryce's body with a sword and struck him with True Energy, he was still concerned. This was a peak
sixth-rank martial artist, after all.
With the Blade of Justice in hand, he slowly dragged his body toward Bryce.
Bryce was lying on the ground motionless, his blood reddening the white snow.
His life was hanging by a thread. Upon seeing James walking toward him, he was enraged. "I treated you as a brother, James!
How could you do this to me?”
Anger flashed across his face.
Bryce never imagined that James would attack him.
"Unfortunately, we're from different sides, after all," James said coldly.
James did not wish to ambush him either. However, he was Lucjan's confidant. As such, this was the perfect opportunity. After
getting rid of him, he would have one less enemy at the Mount Thunder Conference.
“I'm sorry.”
James raised the Blade of Justice and stabbed Bryce a few more times.
Bryce now lay in a pool of blood, motionless.
After killing Bryce, James staggered a few steps back before collapsing to the ground.
Thea hurried over and helped him up.
Then, James sat in a lotus position and catalyzed the healing cultivation method.
