"I have the Heaven Root," Alex sneered coldly, his eyes gleaming like shards of

ice as he held Josephine protectively.

"If you dare risk your pathetic life for it, then come and claim it!"

Yorick's eyes narrowed venomously. He could summon his soldiers to shoot Alex into oblivion-but the Heaven Root was far too precious.

A single stray bullet could shatter it.

"I'll give you one chance," orick growled, barely controlling his rage.

"Hand over the Heaven Root. Or we settle this the hard way."

"Hard way?" Alex chuckled mockingly, confidence radiating from every word. "My one leg alone would be enough to crush you. Step forward-if you dare."

With Josephine tightly clasped to him, he knew he could shield her from any attack. Letting her go was not an option.

"Excellent!" Yorick barked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and fury.

"If you don't value your pathetic existence, don't blame me for your miserable fate. soldiers! Forget the guns-use knives! Sever the limbs of this insolent fool! I want his head displayed as my trophy!"

Several guards lunged forward eagerly, desperate to be the first to claim glory.

Alex merely stamped his foot, unleashing a deafening boom that cracked the ground apart. 1

Shattered stone erupted like a volcanic explosion, debris shooting in all directions, smashing into the guards with ruthless force.

Within mere seconds, guards screamed and collapsed, bleeding and broken.

"Go! All of you!" Yorick thundered furiously, his patience evaporating instantly.

"Kill him now! Shoot his face and legs-avoid his body! The Heaven Root must remain intact!"

Gunfire erupted like relentless thunder, bullets flying toward Alex with deadly precision.

Yet, an eerie silence suddenly swept the battlefield as every bullet stopped midair, frozen mere inches from Alex's unyielding

presence.

"You started this," Alex's voice whispered menacingly.

With a simple flick, he turned their weapons against them.
