Chapter 140: [138] Attacked By A True FiendGodHealing!
Levi lifted his head fully to meet the Seventh Envoy's skeptical gaze. Her eyes were like bottomless wells, and looking into them made him feel like a book being read by someone who could understand every word, every meaning, every subtext.
"I don't intend to lie in the first place," Levi said firmly, keeping his voice steady despite the fear trying to creep into it. "I came here prepared to tell the truth, whatever the consequences."
"Is that so?" The Fifth Envoy sneered, her voice dripping with contempt as she floated forward slightly, the shadows around her reaching toward Levi like grasping hands. She was one of the women, with those glowing void-eyes and sharp, predatory features. "Then explain."
Without warning, massive shockwaves erupted from her body.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The pressure was immense—not just physical force but something deeper, something that pressed against Levi's very existence. It was like having a mountain dropped on his shoulders, except the mountain was made of concentrated killing intent and soul pressure.
The air itself seemed to solidify around him, trying to force him to his knees. His bones creaked audibly. His muscles strained. Every cell in his body screamed at him to submit, to prostrate himself, to acknowledge the overwhelming superiority of the being before him.
But Levi gritted his teeth and held on.
His body had recovered significantly thanks to the jade extract and his natural regeneration. His cultivation had stabilized at Level 6 Genetic Soldier, with his foundation strengthened by all the battles he'd survived. His will had been tempered by facing death repeatedly and refusing to break.
He managed to raise his head, breaking
the pressure through pure will and glared at the Fifth Envoy through the crushing force.
"Fifth Envoy," Levi said, his voice strained but clear, "aren't you being too unreasonable? I haven't even spoken a word about what happened, haven't offered any defense or explanation, and I'm already being suppressed like a criminal whose guilt has been proven." He took a shuddering breath, fighting against the pressure. "Is this how petty the Elder Council is? Judge first, ask questions never?"
