Invisible Security Guard

Chapter 2447 - 2466: Nine Clans Squad

Demi Garrett hesitated almost not at all when faced with the decision of escaping or protecting Yusuf Zuck; he chose to protect Yusuf, even if it meant he might get hurt. But it was something he had to do.

Finding a like-minded ally is not easy, and he didn’t want to lose this powerful support. Besides, he had promised to help protect Yusuf, and his character was very much like Yusuf’s, meaning he would keep his word.

Keeping promises is his principle, and no matter what happens, principles cannot be forsaken.

Thus, he stepped into the Door of the Other Shore beneath his feet. In the next second, he appeared above the barrier over Yusuf’s head and took out a large seal, ramming it upward with all his might.

"Boom~" The finger bone collided with the large seal, resulting in an earth-shattering explosion. At the same time, the seal in his hand shattered, and even his arm couldn’t escape, blowing apart instantly.

However, he held up, standing firm on top of the barrier. The finger bone only shattered his seal, shattered his arm, but did not break the barrier.

"He’s hurt."

"Roar~" Fernando Graham and Derrick Newman roared excitedly at the same time. The Child of Destiny is not all-powerful; he can get hurt, and there are things he cannot predict.

"Then let’s end it." Derrick Newman let out a howl and then violently shook his right arm. Instantly, a golden light flashed—it fused with the Creation World Realm expert’s arm, and its power was entirely that of the Creation World Realm expert. So, he suddenly punched out.

This punch shattered the heavens and the earth, this punch collapsed the layers of space, and this punch was faster than lightning.

Demi Garrett looked pale, brilliance flashing in his eyes. He knew he couldn’t dodge because if he dodged, this arm would smash into the barrier, harming or killing Yusuf Zuck, who was meditating.

If it were just him, he could have engaged in a skirmish with the enemy, not so embarrassingly. But he still had to protect Yusuf Zuck.

So, upon seeing Derrick Newman’s destructive punch coming toward him, he took a deep breath, then took out a book and quickly flipped through its pages, flicking his fingers continuously.

One by one, characters were flicked from the pages, and each character turned into a law.

For example, if he flicked out the character for ’blade,’ it would form a large blade. Then he flicked out the character for ’armor,’ forming a Turtle Shell, and even flicked out the character for ’slow,’ causing the space to slow.

However, the Creation World Realm arm was too ferocious and formidable—it belonged to the most terrifying existence in the world. So, his blade, his armor, were almost crushed upon touching the arm, but the ’slow’ character did manage to momentarily reduce the arm’s speed.

And just because of this momentary delay, Demi Garrett decisively rolled up his long sleeves, causing the entire barrier, along with Yusuf and Kenji May inside, to disappear simultaneously. He too stepped into the Door of the Other Shore, vanishing without a trace.

"Damn it, they escaped." Derrick Newman’s punch hit nothing, and he jumped and cursed in anger. He was just about to succeed, but they managed to escape. That Demi’s escape skill was too strong, unfathomable.

"But he’s severely injured as well." Fernando Graham flew to Derrick Newman’s side and said, "I saw that he was shaken to the point of losing consciousness by the power of Creation, so he must be severely wounded."

"Strike while the iron is hot, we must find him in the shortest time possible." Derrick Newman also began calculating quickly with his fingers, as he could track and trace as well.

Meanwhile, Demi Garrett, Yusuf Zuck, and Kenji May appeared in the Leviathan Forest within Heaven’s Gate. However, Yusuf inside the barrier remained unconscious because Demi Garrett used Kun-Peng Shift; Yusuf essentially hadn’t moved, not even experiencing a jolt, so naturally, he didn’t wake up.

At this moment, Kenji May looked curiously at Demi Garrett because he, despite getting injured, protected her and Yusuf.

It seems they are indeed close friends.

"You continue to protect him. I need to recover a bit; this time was too tragic." Demi Garrett let out a bitter laugh. The power of the finger bone was boundless, slaughtering everything. So, losing an arm wasn’t the only damage he suffered—his consciousness, his soul, were all shaken.

Simultaneously, he had a new understanding of the Creation World Realm, knowing that when facing such figures, he would inevitably be defeated instantly.

"Alright, you recover. I’ll protect him; no one can hurt him." Kenji May looked at the meditating Yusuf, her eyes showing a trace of tenderness. That unforgettable moment when Yusuf risked everything to save her from the cliff became deeply engraved in her heart, something she couldn’t forget even in two lifetimes. That moment shattered her heart, and she melted, even regretting it at that moment. Now, she wanted to make amends for that regret.

While Demi Garrett was recovering and Derrick Newman and Fernando Graham were searching for him, news of the battle spread unabatedly—leaked by the Elder of Heaven Mystery, who disclosed the location and details of the fight.

Because of this news, the dormant Patrick Ruiz stirred to action. Could the Child of Destiny have been injured? Driven away by the combined might of two powerhouses: Creation and Formation?

If they could find the Child of Destiny now, while he was injured, they could kill him and seize his fortune, couldn’t they?

So many began searching on their own, and even Lord Yuan excitedly dispatched scouts from various roads to find traces of Demi Garrett.

However, striking by coincidence and perhaps due to Demi Garrett’s misfortune, shortly after he brought Yusuf and Kenji May to the Leviathan Forest, an exploration team arrived.

This exploration team wasn’t from the Quanzhen Sect but was from the Nine Surnames Alliance.

They came to the Leviathan Forest merely seeking opportunities and fortunes, never expecting to encounter Gabriel Freeman and the Child of Destiny.

In the past sixty years, everybody from the Nine Surnames Alliance, whether high or low, has been searching the world for fortunes and opportunities, looking for ancient ruins, and seeking the tombs of great experts and the like.

So, this exploration team came across Yusuf and Demi Garrett purely by accident.

When they appeared, they happened upon Demi Garrett in a critical moment, his breath unsteady, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. Meanwhile, the naive girl Kenji May was simply starstruck, gazing at Yusuf with increasing admiration.

The exploration team had ten members altogether, all with a cultivation level above Eternal Level Six, which was once considered the pinnacle of power.

Among the ten, there were members of the Kenzo Ray clan, the Graham Family, the Derrick Newman family, and the Richmond Family, among others.

Seeing Yusuf and Demi Garrett, they exchanged glances and swiftly reported the information to the Nine Surnames Alliance and their respective clans.

That’s how the news leaked again. As soon as the Nine Surnames Alliance knew, Fernando Graham would inevitably know. Once he knew, Derrick Newman would know too.

Then more individuals, like spies lurking in No Ridge City or other forces within the Nine Surnames Alliance, and even from the Heavenly Demon’s side, learned of it.

"That’s the Child of Destiny. He’s indeed gravely injured—still bleeding from his mouth."

"His missing arm hasn’t grown back yet."

"And there’s Gabriel Freeman, Yusuf Zuck; it seems he’s meditating, knows nothing."

"That woman is truly beautiful... so pretty..." a man gulped continuously.

"So what do we do now? What should we do?"

"What do we do? The Child of Destiny has nothing to do with me. Let’s rely on our fortune; whoever gets it first keeps it. I want to be strong, I want to be strong..." Some among them, eyes reddened with excitement, after speaking, rushed forward like the wind.
