Chapter 1091 A Life And Death Battle
Aidan and the rest were startled to hear Avery's words.
“Are you saying that Mr. Ivanov will take action against us?” Aidan asked incredulously, refusing to believe his ears.
Beside him, Vicador cast a grim look at the rest and declared, “Avery wasn't talking about Mr. Ivanov; he was referring to the
tsar.”
Avery directed his gaze to Vicador once again.
Avery had never considered Vicador to be an outstanding soldier in the Eastern War Zone as the latter had no merits to boast of.
It was beyond Avery's imagination that Vicador was capable of seeing the big picture of Remdik so clearly.
Currently, the tsar and Ivanov were on the verge of falling out completely.
Ivanov's family was the biggest martial artist family in the east of Remdik. The only reason Ivanov was willing to pledge his
loyalty and work for the tsar was for the sake of his family's safety.
Ivanov's family had schemed for at least one hundred years to take down the tsar.
As one of The Untouchables, they didn't want to bow to someone else forever.
Avery wasn't sure how big Ivanov's family's trap was, but he was sure that it was connected to the previous captain of Team
Alpha, Antoine.
Otherwise, the tsar wouldn't have instructed him to halt Aidan and let Jonathan get rid of Antoine without interference.
Antoine was important as his death also made Remdik lose the military resources for almost two hundred thousand people.
Even so, the tsar didn't change his mind about wanting Antoine dead. The reason behind his decision was worth pondering.
Antoine had no idea that Ivanov wasn't his grandfather on his paternal side; Ivanov was his grandfather on his maternal side.
Over two decades ago, Ivanov's family went to great lengths to send their eldest daughter to the Collins family, where the head
of external affairs was in a drunken stupor.
That night was how Antoine was born.
Antoine was a crucial leverage for Ivanov's family to defeat the tsar, but before they could use him, Jonathan managed to take
him out.
As the saying went, “Man proposes, God disposes.”
Through this incident, it was pretty clear that the tsar and Ivanov would never get along in peace anymore.
In this battle, the tsar had a greater chance of victory, as he had control over all of Remdik. However, Ivanov's family could not sit
idly by and wait to be defeated.
The occurrence of bloodshed in Remdik was inevitable.
Aidan was fleeing swiftly, and his eyes glinted with malice upon hearing Avery and Vicador's words.
He inquired, “So, you mean to say that whether we win or lose this battle, we are doomed to die?”
“Not necessarily,” came Vicador's answer as he tore off his clothes to reveal his toned muscles.
He proclaimed, “Winning this battle means that both the tsar and Mr. Ivanov will have to answer to the Eastern War Zone soldiers
if they want us dead. Regardless of their conflict, they need control over the country and the respect of their people. If we want to
live, we can no longer run away. It will be too late to turn back once we cross River Onxy!”
With that, he stomped the ground, and an earth-shattering rumble rang out.
He released all his energy and whirled around to charge toward Jonathan and the rest, who were several hundreds of meters
behind them.
“Leave the chessboard to me. I'm not handling the others!” Vicador commanded icily.
Midair, he summoned a strange dagger and stabbed it into his chest forcefully.
During a fast-paced battle, a cultivator's vitality would rapidly deplete.
After Vicador stabbed himself, a large burst of blood mist spurted out of his chest.
The blood mist enveloped Vicador like a huge cocoon and changed into meridians that looked like blood vessels.
In just a matter of seconds, these blood vessels grew into a giant several dozen meters tall that towered over the battlefield.
Vicador was surrounded by a swirling vortex of spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he drew from all around him. In mere
moments, the energy coalesced around him, transforming him into a towering giant, several dozen meters tall.
Bang!
Vicador raised his hand to punch the Divine Chessboard.
As the giant's right arm burst into pieces from the impact, the Divine Chessboard was sent flying from its unbelievably strong
power.
Jonathan and the like blanched in shock at the sight.
After acquiring the chessboard, Jonathan had engaged in numerous battles against his enemies. While he did suffer some
losses and some of his adversaries managed to flee, they were all fixated on deciphering the formations on the chessboard
rather than attempting to destroy the chessboard itself.
Jonathan was the owner of the Divine Chessboard, which meant that it would always follow him wherever he went as long as he
wished it to.
However, Vicador managed to send the Divine Chessboard flying with just one punch.
Jonathan even lost communication with the chessboard for one split second.
They halted in their tracks and stared at Vicador darkly.
Currently, Vicador's right arm had burst into a horrifying blood mist.
However, the blood mist appeared to be directed by a mysterious force as it rapidly gathered around Vicador's body.
Rather than revolving around the arm stump to regenerate it, it flowed through the meridians of the giant before reforming the
missing arm.
“The Pryncyp of Blood?” Jonathan frowned as he stared at Vicador intently.
As soon as Aidan and his companions noticed that Jonathan's Divine Chessboard had been thrown, they quickly turned around
to attack Jonathan and his allies.
Once again, Karl and the Chanaean cultivators engaged in a fight with the Remdikian cultivators.
This time, the Remdikian cultivators went all out in attacking them as though they had gone crazy.
After a few exchanges, the members of Asura's Office became aware of something amiss. They immediately tensed up and
focused on confronting the powerful foe.
Beside Jonathan, Joshua swung out the Formation Crusher to form three spirit shields, blocking the three Remdikian cultivators
effectively.
Holding the Troop Summoner, Joshua summoned a jade bottle. He uncorked it and poured the contents into his mouth.
Joshua had swallowed seven Spirit Rejuvenating Pills in one go.
Even Jonathan couldn't help but gape in disbelief at the sight.
“D*mn it! Joshua, do you have a death wish?” he blurted out.
“Something's wrong,” Joshua replied sternly. “The Remdikians are going all out, and we're not their match. I need to summon a
God Realm general to help us, but it will take some time.”
As he spoke, the spiritual energy within his body erupted like a flood.
Jonathan's body shook slightly from the force of the spiritual energy, but he quickly pulled out his Heaven Sword to stand in front
of Joshua.
The three layers of restraining barrier created by the Formation Crusher had been placed urgently and couldn't hold their
enemies back for too long.
However, it was clear that Joshua couldn't summon the God Realm general swiftly. Not far away, Vicador's arm was slowly
restoring itself.
I have to fight against four of them alone!
“Joshua, I can help you ward off their attacks for a while, but hurry up. I can't hold on for too long!”
