<strong>Capítulo 2305: Chapter 2305: Windy Johnson’s Past</strong>
“No! Impossible!”
Windy Johnson roared angrily, trying once more to control the Seven-star Sword, but it showed no reaction.
Windy Johnson bent down to pick up the Sword Box, but Julius Reed couldn’t possibly give him a chance.
He kicked, sending both the man and the Sword Box flying.
“How did you do it!”
Windy Johnson felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his heart was being torn apart.
The Seven Star Array had never failed before.
Years ago, he was surrounded by hundreds of people, yet managed to save his life relying on the Seven-star Sword.
Among those hundreds, anyone close to the curtain of the Seven-star Sword was drained of their spiritual power and died.
The rest, under the onught of shadows, stood no chance of survival.
The Seven-star Sword was a supreme treasure!
But today, before this youngd, it failed.
Windy Johnson was perplexed, repeatedly pping the Sword Box, but still to no avail.
“Stop wasting your energy.”
Julius Reed walked up to him, kicked the Sword Box away, and aimed the tip of his sword at Windy Johnson’s throat.
“Shall we chat? All this fighting gets us nowhere. In the martial world, there ought to be some drinking and storytelling.”
Saying this, Julius Reed pulled over a table and grabbed a chair, sitting down.
“Stop pondering, I’ll tell you when I’m willing to.”
He leaned forward slightly in the chair, speaking.
“I can’tprehend it; the Seven-star Sword has never disappointed me. Unless I understand this discrepancy, I won’t find peace even in death!”
Windy Johnson leaned against the corner of the wall, ring at Julius Reed.
He was weak now, and his features were beginning to age.
“First, answer my question.”
Julius Reed chuckled, straightening up, wiping his sword with his clothes: “Talk to me about the Imperial Heaven Official’s affair? What really happened back then?”
“Want to know?” Windy Johnsonughed, ready to speak with great righteousness.
p!
Julius Reed swung a p!
p p!
Two more ps followed!
“Don’t disgrace yourself when given a face. Do you really think you’re still some bullshit Imperial Heaven Official?”
As soon as the words fell, Julius Reed stepped on his throat: “Now, time is limited, speak quickly.”
After being pped several times, Windy Johnson’s face turned red, and he found it hard to speak.
He wanted to get angry but, being under control, had no choice but to swallow his pride.
All the while, Windy Johnson kept pondering why his formation was broken!
It was the Seven Star Array!
No one could break it!
Even if his abilities had declined significantly, within the Seven Star Array was the spirit!
The spirit!
The all-powerful spirit of gods!
Today, it was broken by a young man?
And judging by his appearance, thatd wasn’t even an ancient martial artist?
“Go ahead and speak.”
Julius Reed increased the pressure on his foot.
Windy Johnson’s face turned red, and he found it hard to speak.
Never could he have imagined that Julius Reed used the power of that pocket watch to go back a few minutes, piercing Windy Johnson’s chest with a sword at the moment he was about to activate the array!
Returning to the present caused the formation to copse, resulting in Windy Johnson’s injury.
“You aren’t qualified to negotiate with me; either confess or don’t, but I’ll kill you all the same!”
ng!
Julius Reed picked up the Longsword and mmed it hard into the wall behind Windy Johnson. “Still not speaking!”
He withdrew the Longsword, and shed it viciously across Windy Johnson’s neck!
Blood sttered!
“No! I’ll talk!”
Previous beatings hadn’t instilled fear in him.
But now, with blood flowing away, his life incessantly seeping away, he was genuinely afraid.
Facing death, he realized how close it was.
“I’ll talk! I’ll say everything! I’ll tell you all!”
With three sessive ‘I’ll talk,’ his psychological defenses instantly copsed.
The higher the rank and power, the more they fear death.
The truly fearless are those who have nothing at all.
They have nothing to lose and care not for anything.
To fight is the essence of their lives.
“Tell me clearly about that rebellion back then.”
Julius Reed spoke impatiently.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”
Windy Johnson knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with hatred, yet he knew if he didn’t speak, he would surely die.
“What should be said, Trent Marsh has already spoken, so I… I’ll talk about the things I know that they don’t.”
Windy Johnson left a mental space, as he was the primary witness of some matters.
No one else knew, which had an advantage—he was the sole person privy to this knowledge.
Meaning he could lie as long as it wasn’t too detached from reality.
And not be discovered.
“Years ago, I was actually coerced by the divine dragon…”
As Windy Johnson spoke, he kept his eyes on Julius Reed; he most wanted to know whether Julius Reed was inclined towards Trent Marsh and Silvio Reed or inclined towards overthrowing them.
It helped to leave some leeway when speaking.
“The divine dragon coerced me to ce the dragon egg within my body. I don’t know if you’re aware, but once the dragon egg is ced inside your body, there’s only one way to survive. That is, for the dragon itself to kill the egg; otherwise, the dragon inside will slowly emerge, and then it’s a road to death for the person.”
“Wait a minute!”
Julius Reed interrupted his speech: “You say, the dragon egg inside, only the dragon itself can kill it, allowing survival?”
“Exactly! What, you weren’t aware?” Windy Johnson was quite surprised.
“Of course I wasn’t aware, exin it to me in detail, like when a dragon kills the young dragon inside the egg, it won’t kill you?”
Julius Reed recalled when Ilia Danvers died, there seemed to be a small dead dragon on his chest.
“Just thinking! When the dragon is inside you, it’s protected by the dragon egg, and this egg prevents your death. You yourself are practically a dragon egg. By killing the dragon inside, the residual power of the egg is yours, enough to keep you alive. Of course, pretending to be dead is also an option.”
Windy Johnson had never thought such a powerful person, interested in that piece of history, would not understand dragons.
“So you’re saying, if the dragon dies, the person might not?”
Julius Reed was very surprised.
“Correct, I was threatened by the dragon; if I spoke to Trent Marsh and Silvio Reed, they couldn’t save me. Everyone knows this. Even the Golden Dragon was aware, so it treated me this way.”
“Thus, it started creating conflicts, sharpening the contradictions! Many thought I wanted to sit in that position, but I want to say they overestimated me.”
Windy Johnson let out a bitter smile, looking very innocent: “Everything was the Golden Dragon’s idea. I did as it said, causing many to take issue with Trent Marsh and Silvio Reed, and shortly after Trent Marsh and Dragon Dance vanished, I led people to revolt.”
Speaking of those two words, he was deeply moved.
“Unexpectedly, that was the beginning of the nightmare.”
Slowly, Windy Johnson tore open the front of his clothes, revealing a scar. “The dragon died here… I survived, it was Lord Lee Four who saved me!”
With both hands sped, he bowed towards the heavens: “Lord Lee Four’s great grace, I cannot repay it in this lifetime! Damned Golden Dragon, who would have thought, there was someone orchestrating behind it!”
