Chapter 450: Returning the Favor
"You still dare to block me? You're asking for death!"
A flash of viciousness crossed Delbert's eyes as his hand suddenly struck Zander's chest.
Zander spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body flew backward and crashed into the edge of the arena.
Delbert shook off Zander. His hand transformed into sharp claws, striking toward Isabella's heart from behind—
Isabella's eyes turned cold, a chill flashing in them. She turned to block Delbert's strike, grabbed his wrist, and suddenly twisted it, breaking it!
Delbert let out a scream of pain.
Isabella raised her hand again and sent Delbert flying with one palm strike.
Delbert's body crashed heavily to the ground. He began convulsing on the floor, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes rolling back.
According to his condition, he had clearly injured his internal organs!
The people below the stage were shocked at this sight.
Delbert had become like this from just one palm strike from Isabella. The gap in their abilities was way too big.
Declan watched from afar as Delbert's body went from convulsing and struggling for life to stopping, lying motionless. He was stunned.
Until a member of the Whispering Sect went to check on Delbert's condition and discovered with shock—
"He's dead! Delbert is dead!"
That Whispering Sect member looked at Delbert's wide-open eyes and stumbled backward several steps in fright!
Isabella had killed Delbert with just one palm strike!
When the crowd below heard that Delbert was dead, their expressions all changed.
"What!"
"He just... died like that?"
The Ancient Martial Arts Alliance members' faces also changed.
They never expected that a girl could be so ruthless, killing someone directly in the competition.
Raven jumped to his feet and shouted angrily, "Isabella, are you looking for death?"
Isabella heard him and turned to look at him. "What are you yelling about? Are you a sore loser?"
Raven choked. His face darkened as he said through gritted teeth, "Isabella, I'm warning you to watch yourself. The Whispering Sect is not to be messed with!"
Isabella smiled dismissively. "Well, I'd like to see just how tough the Whispering Sect really is."
"Losing one Delbert probably doesn't mean much to you."
"But what if you lose Declan too?"
"You wouldn't dare!" Raven's face turned dark as he gritted his teeth.
Isabella sneered. "What wouldn't I dare?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Declan by the collar, lifted him, and slammed him hard onto the ground. When Declan tried to struggle, Isabella broke his other arm.
Then she stomped on his lower leg, breaking it.
Declan's heart-wrenching screams filled the entire arena.
"Let me go!" Declan begged Isabella in terror.
But Isabella acted as if she hadn't heard his pleas. She pressed his head down and slammed it hard against the ground.
Once, twice, three times.
Soon, there were bloodstains all over the floor.
These moves were exactly what the Whispering Sect members had done to other families in the previous matches.
Isabella was putting what she learned into practice, trumping Declan in every way. She really did look somewhat crazy.
Raven was filled with rage.
"Isabella! You dare hurt my godson? I'll take your life!"
"My life is right here. Come and take it if you can." Isabella glanced at him coldly, then continued, "Since you care so much about your godson, you should also experience what it feels like to lose a loved one."
"Declan's fate today is my payback for everything the Whispering Sect has done."
As her words fell, Isabella applied a bit more force and directly broke Declan's neck.
Her action was too sudden, happening in just an instant.
Even Declan didn't have time to react.
Declan's body went completely limp, his eyes still wide open.
Isabella had just... killed Declan.
The entire arena fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone present was too shocked for words.
Raven's breathing stopped for a moment. He rushed onto the stage, picked up Declan to check, and found that Declan was really dead. His blood surged in reverse.
"Isabella!"
Raven's eyes instantly became extremely vicious.
He raised his hand to grab Isabella.
"Protect Ms. Isabella Powell, quick!"
As soon as Rodolfo's words fell, the elders of the Powell family all took action, surrounding Raven in a circle.
Raven's movement paused.
At this moment, Gwyneth spoke up. "Raven, it's just a competition. Are you sure you want to make such a scene?"
"Gwyneth!" Raven shouted furiously. He stared at Gwyneth, his eyes full of hatred and killing intent. "Your daughter killed my godson!"
Hearing this, Gwyneth simply said calmly, "Raven, I said before that the competition rules were unreasonable and asked to revise them. You were the one who disagreed."
At that time, the seven great families couldn't stand watching the Whispering Sect members' brutal behavior in the arena and proposed revising the rules, but Raven said the seven families were incompetent! He even mocked them as useless sore losers.
"If contestants had the option to surrender, then Declan could have chosen to surrender and leave the stage just now."
Gwyneth looked at Raven meaningfully. "You didn't leave a way out for others, and you didn't leave one for your own people either. Who can you blame?"
Previously, the Whispering Sect had shown no mercy to the other families. Now that Delbert and Declan had died at Isabella's hands, the family heads naturally felt very satisfied!
The head of the Guest family stepped forward, looking at Raven through gritted teeth. "Raven, you got what you deserved!"
The head of the Bautista Family also said, "Raven, the Whispering Sect lost! These are the competition rules, you can't act out!"
The head of the Fife family also spoke up, "Today, all seven of our families are here. If you want to act recklessly, you'll have to see if we agree!"
Seeing everyone pointing their fingers at him, Raven's face became extremely pale.
At this moment, Robbie from the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance also spoke, "Raven, the competition ends here. I advise you not to cause more trouble."
Raven's gaze swept over the seven great families present.
He couldn't make a move here.
Raven clenched his fists, having to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart.
He picked up Declan's body, his dark eyes looking at Isabella as he made a threat, "Isabella, I'll make you pay with your life for Declan!"
The people below the stage naturally heard Raven's words too.
Gwyneth narrowed her eyes, a trace of worry flashing through them.
After Raven left the stage, the other members of The Whispering Sect followed closely behind.
The outcome of this match was obvious.
The host immediately announced, "The final winner of this ancient martial arts competition is the Powell family!"
