Chapter 389 Still Pretending to Be Dead?
The kick was brutal, the force whipping up a chilling wind through the hall.
Isaac and his crew were stunned to see James, facing this deadly attack, neither dodging nor counterattacking.
The Lee family members were dumbstruck!
They couldn't believe that at such a critical moment, James had turned into a helpless lamb, forgetting even to run away.
Was he scared stiff?
A few of the Lee family women had this thought flash through their minds.
Was he seeking death?
The Lee family women shook their heads in disbelief, thinking they had overestimated James, who now seemed like a useless fool.
Catching White Shadow must have been a fluke.
"Watch out!" Gerald shouted at James.
But James remained unmoved, standing quietly.
"Die!" White Shadow sneered, her leg sweeping out with unstoppable momentum.
In an instant, her leg was only 1.5 feet away from James's head!
In just one second, White Shadow could crush James's skull.
Everyone in the room turned pale.
It was over.
But just then, James suddenly opened his mouth, spraying out countless apple fragments.
White Shadow instinctively turned her head, her movement slowing by a fraction.
Almost simultaneously, a hand shot out like lightning, grabbing White Shadow's ankle.
White Shadow's face changed dramatically, but it was too late to pull back.
James grabbed, pressed, and flung.
With a crisp snap, White Shadow's ankle broke, five bloody holes appearing, and her body was hurled against the floor-to-ceiling window.
The window shattered with a loud crash, spiderweb cracks spreading across it.
White Shadow's spine hit the window, breaking with a cough.
Blood flowed from her wounds again.
White Shadow screamed in agony, her body writhing like a snake, trying to escape!
At the same time, she reached out with her right hand, trying to pull out her Gu.
But before she could release those creatures, James was already upon her, moving like a shadow.
With a brutal stomp, he crushed her wrist, eliciting another scream.
The scene left everyone in the room stunned and speechless.
No one could have imagined that the formidable White Shadow would be so easily beaten by James.
She was utterly defeated.
In just two moves, James had reduced the feared White Shadow to a pitiful state.
The entire hall was oppressively silent, with he Lee family women were frozen in shock.
But it wasn't over yet.
As White Shadow, enduring the pain, pulled out a large scorpion, James stomped on it and her hand, breaking both.
Then, he stepped on White Shadow's head, as if crushing an ant.
James looked towards the door and smiled faintly, "Molly, aren't you coming out?"
Almost as soon as his words fell, a white mist blew in from outside, enveloping the Sky Pavilion's open space.
Over twenty Lee family guards fell to the ground, clutching their throats in agony.
Before Isaac and the others could react, the Lee family gunmen on the steps and high points also collapsed, suffering the same fate.
In the drifting white mist, the Lee family members and medical staff outside fell one by one.
The enemy remained unseen, only the sound of a bell ringing slowly and steadily.
As the bell's sound grew clearer, a dozen Lee family bodyguards, covering their mouths and noses, shuddered and fell silently at the hall's entrance.
Then, a staggering Lee family member was kicked away, struggling a few times before going still.
Soon, an old woman appeared in the hall.
No one knew how she got in, her movements leaving no trace.
The woman, around sixty, had a deathly pale face and an eerie presence, as if she had just crawled out of a grave.
"Molly!" Seeing the woman, the Lee family members instinctively exclaimed.
Molly didn't even glance at the Lee family members. Leaning on her snake-headed cane, she walked towards Trevor, gritting her teeth and shouting, "Trevor, who allowed you to die?"
"It's not the eighteenth yet, how could you die?"
Molly screamed, "I still need you to sacrifice for my husband."
She ignored the nearly hundred people present, focusing solely on Trevor, approaching slowly but with an air of dominance.
A few Lee family members instinctively tried to stop her, but before they could get close, they fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
No one knew how they were poisoned, but James could see that Molly was emitting toxic gas.
Seeing Trevor's emaciated, lifeless body, Molly screamed hysterically, "Trevor, come back to life!"
James smiled faintly, "Mr. Lee couldn't wait until the eighteenth, but you can sacrifice yourself."
"Foolish boy, who gave you the right to speak to me like that?"
Molly glared at James and shouted, "Release White Shadow immediately, or I'll make you wish you were dead."
She raised her hand, and a white snake shot out, aiming for James's throat, fast and deadly.
James reached out, grabbed the snake, and snapped its neck.
The white snake died instantly.
"Dare to kill my snake?" Molly laughed angrily, "I'll make you suffer a thousand Gu bites."
White Shadow managed to say, "Master, Dark Shadow is also in his hands, and he cut off his limbs."
"Good, very good. Opposing me, I'll show you what true terror is."
Molly sneered at James, "You don't know your place."
Seeing Molly's arrogance, Isaac shouted, "Molly, this is the Lee family, you can't act so recklessly here."
He waved his hand, and a dozen Lee family elites charged at Molly, weapons raised.
Facing the attack, Molly waved her left hand, dozens of cold flashes flickering.
The Lee family elites shuddered, dropped their weapons, and fell, their expressions filled with pain.
Then, small bugs crawled out of their noses and mouths.
As everyone watched in horror, six black-clad elders, armed with military knives, suddenly sprang from the crowd.
They attacked Molly silently, their movements fierce and precise, clearly the Lee family's top fighters.
"Useless." Molly waved her right hand, releasing a yellow smoke that enveloped the six elders.
The smoke was pungent, obscuring vision, and reeked of a strong stench, forcing Isaac and the others to retreat.
As the six Lee family experts approached Molly, their movements halted.
It wasn't that they wanted to stop, but their bodies suddenly went limp, their faces rotting, and blood streaming from their orifices.
In the next moment, their eyes bulged, and they fell like empty bags.
Molly didn't stop, raising her hand again, releasing four centipedes.
Four armed Lee family guards fell, their throats bitten by the centipedes, blood gushing.
They struggled briefly before dying.
These were the Lee family's top fighters, who had achieved countless feats, but they were powerless against Molly.
A few doctors tried to treat the poisoned Lee family guards, but as soon as they touched the wounds, their blood-stained fingers swelled.
Then, at a visible speed, the doctors' palms turned black, and their entire arms began to rot.
It was too terrifying!
Daryl and the others were all shocked. Molly was too monstrous, taking down so many people with just a wave of her hand.
No wonder Trevor had been so tormented to death.
"Kill her!" Isaac couldn't hold back any longer, shouting at the remaining bodyguards, "All together, kill her!"
Another dozen Lee family elites charged at Molly.
But they couldn't harm her. She waved her hand, flicked her fingers, and the Lee family elites fell one by one.
Soon, half the people in the hall were down.
Their faces turned black, blue, foaming at the mouth, full of pain.
On the ground, numerous poisonous creatures crawled, making the scene horrifying. Several Lee family women fainted from fear.
James didn't confront Molly directly. He could detoxify, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of poison. A bite from a centipede or snake would still be painful.
And he had to protect Gerald.
After knocking out White Shadow, James protected Gerald while shouting at Trevor, "Trevor, Molly is already here, are you still playing dead?"
"Keep it up, and everyone will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white cloth was suddenly lifted, and Trevor sat up.
The entire room fell silent.
