No one expected Shawn Marsh to dare to attack in the Martin Family's audience hall.
Moreover, he used his entire ninth level Body Tempering strength the moment he attacked. He obviously wanted to kill the youth immediately!
Shawn Marsh was extremely quick; he moved in front of the youth in the blink of an eye.
At the moment he slapped out his palm, the youth's body trembled and reacted, instinctively stomping on the ground and flashing backwards at a high speed!
But even then, the youth was still hit by the residual force. He was sent flying into the wall and then spat out a mouthful of blood….
The youth's face was ghastly pale and his body was swaying. He quickly managed to stabilize his body with great difficulty.
His fist were clenched tightly and his nails pierced into his palm, but he was not feeling any pain….
His sharp eyes were emitting bloodthirsty killing intent!
Shawn Marsh stomped his feet on the ground and flew out. After missing his first attack, he actually wanted to attack a second time!
"How dare you!"
Noticing this, the Martin Family's Patriarch, Zayn Martin, stood up and shouted loudly!
"You're courting death!"
Origin Energy busted out of Sixth Elder Peter Martin's feet, then he moved like a bolt of lightning, flashing towards Shawn Marsh.
His punch burst forth with Origin Energy, drawing upon the force of heaven and earth, developing into four ancient mammoth silhouettes….
A punch containing the strength of four ancient mammoths! If it hits Shawn Marsh, even if he does not die, he will be crippled!
However, at this critical moment, the Marsh family's Patriarch attacked.
He moved forward and pulled Shawn Marsh away to dodge Peter Martin's punch.
Dane Marsh's speed was two times faster than Peter Martin's!
At this moment, eight ancient mammoth silhouettes flashed above Dane Marsh's head….
The strength of eight ancient mammoths!
"Are you OK?" Peter Martin glanced at Dane Marsh coldly before coming to side of the youth and asking this.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Sixth Elder."
The youth shook his head. Even though he was injured, he did not make a single sound.
To him, that was a sign of being weak.
"Dane Marsh!"
A loud shout echoed from the Martin Family's Patriarch; it was as if thunder exploded.
The entire audience hall started shaking from the force.
"My Martin Family will investigate the matter between your Marsh family and David Bishop ourselves! But your Marsh family member actually dared to attack and injure my Martin Family member inside the Martin Family estate! It looks like you are making light of the Martin Family! Regarding this, don't you think that you have to give me, and the Martin Family for that matter, an explanation?!"
Zayn Martin was thoroughly enraged and furious. David Bishop was the treasure of the Martin Family.
If David Bishop were to be killed, not to mention the fact that Ninth Elder would never let it go, but even the Martin Family's chance at rising up to crush the Marsh and Jones families would be totally destroyed!
"Patriarch Martin, please forgive him. My Marsh family's Manager's only son was crippled by David Bishop. His son will be bedridden the rest of his life. He had a good reason for attacking David Bishop, and he had no intention of offending the Martin Family…. Now, David Bishop is fine, so why don't we just leave it as it is?"
No one expected that Dane Marsh would have such a tranquil expression; it was as if nothing had happened.
"Dane Marsh!"
Zayn Martin's face turned grim.
But before he could continue, he was interrupted by the youth that walked a few steps forward.
"Patriarch, I would like to settle the matter myself."
David Bishop said, not even waiting for Zayn Martin to reply. The youth's bloodshot eyes stared at the Marsh family's Manager.
He was like an Asura that had just walked out of hell. His entire body was emitting a bloodthirsty killing intent, causing others to feel a chill to run down their spines….
"It's Shawn Marsh, right? In three months, I will visit your Marsh family and I'll take your life!"
Finishing what he said, the youth turned around and walked out.
"OK! Three months from now, I'll be waiting for you. At that time, I will kill you with my own two hands and take revenge for my son!"
Because he originally believed that he wouldn't be able to take revenge for his son, when Shawn Marsh heard what the youth said, his dark red eyes instantly emitted a light of agitation and excitement….
"That will depend on whether you have the capability."
The youth didn't even turn his head around, he only laughed coldly and walked out, leaving the Martin Family's audience hall.
Leaving behind a proud and aloof figure.
The David Stark of his previous life went unhindered for half of his lifetime; he was unrestricted and unmatched!
In this lifetime, a mere Marsh family Manager dared to try and take his life.
In three months he will surely visit the Marsh family and splatter blood on his sword to wash away the humiliation he received today….
Only slaughter could calm down the rage in his heart!
"Patriarch Martin, your Martin Family really has young heroes…. This David Bishop has so much ambition at such a young age; someone like that is really hard to come by! Since he has established a life and death agreement with Shawn Marsh, there is no point in pursuing the matter any further. In three months , the entirety of my Marsh family will be waiting for his arrival!"
Dane Marsh looked towards Zayn Martin and laughed.
Finishing what he said, Dane Marsh ignored the green-faced Zayn Martin, taking Shawn Marsh along and leaving.
"Patriarch, David Bishop is too rash!"
Sixth Elder Peter Martin frowned, his face full of worry.
He wasn't worried about David Bishop's life or death, but was worried that if anything happened to David Bishop, his son wouldn't have any Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid left to use.
In these past few days, he had noticed his son's improvement in cultivation. The Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid was indeed a godly item!
Zayn Martin had a complicated expression.
Earlier, when David Bishop emitted a bloodthirsty killing intent, even he felt a trace of being suppressed.
He could not understand how David Bishop, who supposedly had not killed anyone before, could be capable of emitting such killing intent….
In his opinion, only a veteran of a hundred battles that had killed many martial artists would be capable of developing such a terrifying killing intent.
"Since he has made a decision, we can only believe in him and hope that he produces a miracle once again…. Sixth Elder, I want to know about the matter between David Bishop and the Marsh family. Go and investigate for me."
The mysteriousness of David Bishop caused a trace of hope to rise in Zayn Martin's heart.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Peter Martin replied and left. His face was ugly.
Although David Bishop defeating Leo Martin could be considered a miracle.
Leo Martin was only at the fourth level of the Body Tempering stage, while Shawn Marsh was a ninth level Body Tempering martial artist. They could not be compared.
A third level Body Tempering youth intending to defeat a ninth level Body Tempering martial artist in three months, would be an unbelievable feat in his opinion.
The Body Tempering stage was divided into nine levels, each level being more difficult to achieve than the previous.
David Bishop, who was forcefully bearing the pain, walked with heavy footsteps towards his home.
His pride did not allow him to show any weakness.
When he reached the courtyard of his house, he finally coughed severely, spitting blood all over the floor.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
Seeing this scene, the face of Bella Johnson, who was washing some vegetables in the courtyard, turned ghastly pale.
After hurriedly putting down the things in her hands, she supported David Bishop back to his room. Her clear eyes were glimmering with tears.
"Lord, don't frighten Bella Johnson, don't frighten Bella Johnson…."
The young girl started to cry.
"Silly girl, I only suffered some light injuries. I'll be fine; I just need to rest for a while."
David Bishop slowly wiped the tears from the corners of the young girl's eyes while forcefully smiling.
An hour later, Zara Martin, who had just returned from the marketplace in Fresh Breeze Town, entered the courtyard.
Noticing the floor covered in blood, her face changed greatly.
"David, who injured you?"
Zara Martin rushed into David Bishop's room. Her voice was ice cold.
"Mom, I'm fine…. And, I've already talked with the Patriarch about this matter; I will settle it myself. Mom, you have to trust me!"
After going through Bella Johnson's devoted care and consuming the grade nine Gold Injury Pill that the Patriarch brought over, David Bishop had already partially recovered, so he managed to squeeze out a smile on his face.
"Was it Dane Marsh?"
Zara Martin asked in a low voice.
"No, it was the Marsh family's Manager, Shawn Marsh. Mom, he doesn't have much longer to live; three months from now is the day he will die!"
David Bishop's eyes emitted a cold light as he neared the end of that sentence.
Afterwards, the medicinal effects of the grade nine Gold Injury Pill hit him and David Bishop fell soundly asleep.
"Bella Johnson, take good care of David."
Zara Martin performed a brief check on him. After making sure that her son was alright, she let out a breath of relief. She then left the courtyard to go see Patriarch Zayn Martin.
From Zayn Martin, she found out the whole sequence of events, and she understood what her son meant earlier.
She took a deep breath. Although her eyes shone with intense killing intent, when she thought about her son's persistence, she forced herself to put up with it.
She decided in her heart that if her son is not Shawn Marsh's match in three months, even if it means enraging the entire Marsh family, she will still kill Shawn Marsh!
For the sake of her son, she would give up everything….
Even her life!
The tranquil Fresh Breeze Town was bustling with noise and excitement as soon as the Marsh family purposefully leaked some news….
"Hey! Have you heard the news? Rumor has is that a Martin Family disciple with another surname publically challenged the Marsh family's Manager, 'Shawn Marsh,' to a life and death battle three months from now!"
"Yeah, I heard about it. That disciple with another surname is called David Bishop. He is the Martin Family's Ninth Elder's son. A month ago, for the sake of a young girl that was selling her body to bury her mother, a conflict arose between him and the Marsh family's Lord, Mitchell Marsh, and he even crippled one of Mitchell Marsh's lackeys!"
"Allegedly, the person that was crippled by David Bishop was the only son of the Marsh family's Manager!"
"I remember now. A month ago, Mitchell Marsh did suffer a loss in the hands of a youth, and I was there at the time. That youth was David Bishop? Judging by his appearance, I'm afraid he isn't even sixteen yet…."
"That can't be true; he's not even sixteen, yet he dares to challenge the Marsh family's Manager to a life and death battle? There's nothing wrong with his head, right? Everyone in Fresh Breeze Town knows that the Marsh family's Manager is a ninth level Body Tempering martial artist."
"Young and arrogant!"
...
Similar discussions could be heard all around Fresh Breeze Town.
Everyone thought that David Bishop was committing suicide.
Martin Family estate.
In the Main Hall, Patriarch Zayn Martin and all of the Martin Family's elders were gathered.
Even Seventh Elder, who had been closed up in his home for the past few days, was present.
The news that spread wildly all over Fresh Breeze Town had made its way into the ears of the Martin Family's elders.
They were anxious.
Three months from now, if anything were to happen to David Bishop, wouldn't that mean that their children wouldn't have any more Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid to use?
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
...
Besides Grand Elder Hank Martin, Seventh Elder Kun Martin, and Ninth Elder Zara Martin, all the elders had anxious expressions as they looked towards Zayn Martin.
Zayn Martin raised his hands, preventing everyone from continuing.
"Fellow elders, I know everyone's wishes, but this matter has already been decided upon. Moreover, the news has been spread by the Marsh family, so if we were to admit defeat, what would happened to the Martin Family's reputation? That means we can only trust in David Bishop. I have already discussed the matter with the Grand Elder. For these three months, the Martin Family will spare no cost and effort to help David Bishop! Fellow Elders, do you have any objections?"
At this moment, the Martin Family's elders could only laugh bitterly and sign. It was too late to undo the battle agreement, so they had no choice.
After all the Martin Family higher ups left.
And Seventh Elder Kun Martin walked towards his home, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Leo, soon someone will take revenge for you…. That David Bishop actually dared to challenge a ninth level Body Tempering martial artist to a life and death battle. He is really seeking death!"
