Chapter 1257 Ambush
“Jared, you have gone overboard!”
Richard glared at him and bit the tip of his tongue.
The blood that seeped from the tip of his tongue turned into a cloud of bright red mists, tainting the sky
red.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky thundered as the earth moved.
“Oh no, Lord Frey is going to mobilize the Mountain Defense Formation. All of us better leave now!”
Desmond yelled at all the disciples of Divine Beast Sect.
The disciples were shocked and started to flee the scene. In no time, the Divine Beast Sect building
which looked like a holiday resort crumbled and was reduced to rubbles.
“Jared Chance, I will make you pay for cornering me!” Richard bellowed furiously.

Jared’s expression turned grim, for he did not expect Divine Beast Sect to know such a powerful arcane
array.
The elder who founded Divine Beast Sect must have been a formidable presence.
The blood mists that hung in the air soon turned into many bloodied hands, eerily similar to those
portrayed in hell.
The bloodied hands immobilized Jared. He tried to struggle to break free but to no avail.
“Elder Cowper, start the formation!” Richard ordered Desmond right then.
“Lord Frey, the formation should only be activated under extreme circumstances, for Mountain Defense
Formation will spell the doom for Divine Beast Sect. Countless disciples of the Divine Beast Sect will also
be sacrificed,” Desmond said.
“As long as I’m alive, Divine Beast Sect will never be eradicated. As for the disciples, it is their honor to
die for the sect. Hurry up and activate the formation,” Richard retorted.
Desmond hesitated for a moment before taking a step forward and approaching Richard.
As long as Desmond started to activate the formation, Jared would be dragged by the bloodied hands
into the arcane array and trapped there forever.
The founder of Divine Beast Sect had made it so that Mountain Defense Formation could only be
activated with two people so that it would not be launched hastily.
Hence, after Richard initiated Mountain Defense Formation, he would need Desmond’s help to activate
the formation to make it work.
However, Desmond merely watched on as Jared was rendered immobilized by the bloodied hands and
did not budge.
“Desmond, are you defying my order?” Richard snapped.
He was furious. The initiation of the formation had taken a toll on him, and he would not be able to hold
on for long if Desmond did not help him out.
Desmond gritted his teeth as a cold glint fleeted across his eyes.
A dagger appeared in his hand right then, and he plunged it right into Richard’s chest.
Blood gushed out of Richard’s chest as he widened his eyes and looked at Desmond in disbelief.
The aura surrounding Richard was slowly dissipating as the bloody mists and hands in the air
disappeared instantly.
Jared was finally free from the bloodied hands as he watched the event unfold before him. What the hell!
He never thought that Desmond would ambush Richard.

Richard threw a daggered look at Desmond. Even though his life was not in danger right then, a single
hit after his aura had dissipated was enough to kill him.
Desmond glared at Richard and chided, “You are cruel and ruthless. You take Divine Beast Sect as your
private entity and murder anyone on a whim. The lives of the Divine Beast Sect disciples mean nothing
to you. I’ve had enough of you. In fact, I’ve long had enough of your brutality,” Desmond hollered.
Then, he took out his dagger and stabbed at Richard again.
Jared stepped forward and snatched the dagger in Desmond’s hand.
The latter gave Jared a bewildered look and said, “Mr. Chance, what are you doing? Why did you stop
me?”
Desmond was baffled by the fact that Jared tried to stop him from killing Richard.
After all, Richard did not waver when he wanted to kill Jared just moments ago.
In fact, even Richard was confounded that Jared saved him as well. Why would Jared try to save me?
“Elder Cowper, could you not kill him and spare his life for me to deal with as I see fit?” Jared asked
Desmond.
