Davis's narrowed eyes became clear.

'Halifan has a powerful trump card to finish me off instantly?'

A grin slowly appeared on his lips. Perhaps, no emotions would be able to escape being detected from his Heart Intent unless the other party possessed a powerful soul.

By now, he comprehended that the Heart Intent deciphered the soul undulations of person to know their emotion and feelings.

Hence, Davis knew that the insanity displayed by Halifan is actually fake. He imagined that if he released Halifan from the shackles, he would perhaps be instantly blasted with that unknown trump card.

How could he forget? To temper themselves, sect disciples would mostly travel with life-saving trump cards that could save them at a crucial time. It could be artifacts, talismans, or anything of that sort.

"What are you waiting for? Are you scared to let me down and compete with Body Tempering Cultivation!?" Halifan laughed, still acting a bit crazed.

Davis sighed before waved his hand, "I'm sorry... I usually don't have this kind of patience. I'll release you now..."

Halifan smiled deeply. His fingers twitched, eager to take out a talisman that could rip apart Mid-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivators into countless pieces! It was a Wind Rending Talisman! Even if it couldn't kill Alchemist Davis, it would gravely injure him! Perhaps, even tear apart his head.

He mused that with his Elder Soul Stage Soul Forging Cultivation, Alchemist Davis would probably survive even that by escaping with his soul body. Nevertheless, with Alchemist Davis unable to fight, he would be unscathed and would have a chance to become the winner.

But since artifacts and other similar items were forbidden, he would be disqualified.

However, he would only be disqualified while Alchemist Davis, who had humiliated him to this degree would receive a tremendous loss! Alchemist Davis would lose his fleshly body and, additionally, would no longer be able to hold that two beauties or even eye the Conferred Queen!

Halifan's fingers trembled in anticipation! However, he kept his cool and thought of saying a few words of philosophical advice before his expression faded.

He heard a muffled sound, one that echoed in his abdomen. Inclining his head, he saw that all the shackles of lightning wrapped around hum have receded from his body, but they all ended up in dantian, collapsing it.

Momentarily, his expression faded, and his mind stopped working, but when he came out of his reverie...

"You..." Halifan looked at Davis in disbelief.

His dantian has been ruptured!

He had become a cripple! A disabled person who will become unable to cultivate his Essence Gathering Cultivation anymore!

The yellowish palm law manifestation in his dantian became chaotic as if falling apart. The revolving core shivered and slowly faded away. First, it was the outer layer, but even the inner layer and the core layer seeped away into the atmosphere. Even the little bit of essence energy he kept within was escaping from his grasp. He was unable to keep them in his dantian as they all slipped away from him!

"Ah, I'm sorry again..." Davis said with a rueful expression, "I forgot to mention that I'll release you from the torment of cultivating essence gathering cultivation now on..."

To someone who went as far as to fake being crazed, only to kill him in the end, he had no mercy. He had only crippled Halifan but kept him alive because he had to win this battle instead of becoming disqualified. After all, killing the opponent was prohibited.

Halifan violently trembled as fear crept on his face, his expression waning into despair. He did not even let a word out, but he increasingly shivered before his expression turned ruthless.

Davis's eyes narrowed as he abruptly waved his hand.

*Pahhh!~*...

A resounding slap sent Halifan flying in a direction. He flew as if he was a kite that had its string cut, flying towards the skies, but that direction was also where a person was approaching him.

It was none other than Elder Towerfall.

Elder Towerfall caught Halifan in his grasp, but he didn't stop. His fists were secretly clenched, ready to be unleashed, but his body suddenly came to a stop.

Princess Isabella abruptly appeared in front of Davis, her figure straight, reliable, and fearless. Her starry black eyes gazed at Elder Towerfall, emitting a dense battle intent.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Elder Towerfall ground his teeth as he asked. Right now, veins had already erupted on his forehead, making him look like an evil tyrant.

He didn't expect his favorite disciple to win, but neither did he expect that his favorite disciple would be crippled! There was no way he could stomach this without an explanation!

Princess Isabella coldly spoke, "Before I answer your question, I have to ask. What is the meaning of your interference? The rules only said that one could not kill. It never said that one could not cripple..." Princess Isabella raised her hand and shook her finger.

"Halifan is disqualified because he didn't surrender, and you interfered. Any questions?" She asked. Her tone was one of a superior speaking to a subordinate.

Elder Towerfall's lips quivered as he tried to hold his anger back. He tried to find a meaningful retort, but he was unable to, leading him to sprout big and thick veins on his bald head like a vine.

Davis inwardly sneered.

The moment he sensed a fluctuation above him after crippling Halifan, he sent Halifan flying in that direction with a slap, and as expected, it was Elder Towerfall who tried to sneak-attack him in the name of saving his disciple. The time Elder Towerfall caught Halifan in his grasp delayed him, making it enough for Princess Isabella to catch up to him.

"I don't care about the battle anymore! I demand an explanation for Alchemist Davis to ruthlessly attack my sect's disciple when he was already defeated!" Elder Towerfall yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Are you an idiot?" Davis instantly retorted, "Don't you see him holding a dangerous talisman in his hand to kill me?"

Elder Towerfall became stunned, but a shout suddenly rang out, "Die!"

Elder Towerfall's eyes were wide open as he tried to catch the talisman that Halifan unleashed, but it slipped out of his grasp, leaving him to shout, "No!"

They couldn't kill the Conferred Queen!

But, it was just an instant!

Princess Isabella's figure simply flickered, but in that short moment, she unleashed a punch!

*Rumble!~*

The force of her power completely devastated the martial platform in a single line! A huge ditch formed right below her, followed by a stream of a pit that stretched almost to the edge of the martial platform. The talisman didn't even have the chance to release its power as it shattered while Elder Towerfall was sent flying into the distance.

Coincidentally, the direction and the trajectory that Elder Towerfall miserable flew ended up being the Towering Cloud Hall's ark. He flew and crashed right into the bull-like ark, almost missing the two horns that stretched out to destroy whatever in its path.

The remnant force ended up pushing away the bull-like ark a few hundred meters away, but someone took hold of the ark's control and made it stop from being carried away by the momentum.

Davis blinked while looking at the destruction that was caused by Princess Isabella. Fortunately, she had only used her force in a straight line that swept above. Otherwise, many people in the crowd might have died.
