Chapter 1282

Ambrose blocked Lord Voodoo's path.

With the pressure being taken off Matthew now, all four men began their battle.

Lord Voodoo gritted his teeth.

All of a sudden, he threw his head back and laughed.

"Hmph, so what if you're here now too, Ambrose? We simply got careless last time to be ambushed by
you! Will you be as lucky this time?"

Ambrose gave a cold chuckle too.

"You really thought I came alone?"

There was a small shift in Lord Voodoo's expression.

"What do you mean?"

Right then, a flat sigh could be heard inside the cave.

"It wasn't easy searching for you, Lord Voodoo!"

At the voice, the crown prince got excited.

"Uncle?!"

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, only to see a man slowly walk over from the cave.



This man was none other than Phoenix! Lord Voodoo's eyes nearly bugged out of his head when he
saw Phoenix.

He knew at last that this time, he had truly fallen into a deep trap! Matthew brought the crown prince
into the mountain.

Harvesting the medicinal herbs was just one of their side objectives; his true objective was to draw Lord
Voodoo into revealing himself! Without another word, Lord Voodoo turned tail and ran.

Phoenix whipped his palm forward from where he stood by the cave's entrance, forcing Lord Voodoo
back.

"Leave this man to me!" Phoenix said, clearly not taking Lord Voodoo seriously.

Ambrose did not waste any time either as he immediately charged at Hunter and battled with him.

With Phoenix and Ambrose here, Matthew had nothing to do now.He did not join the fray either.

Instead, he observed the battle between these four people.

Ambrose was far mightier than Hunter.

Hunter was no match for him at all.

As for Lord Voodoo, while he was powerful, he was still just a smidge weaker than Ambrose.

Facing Phoenix, Lord Voodoo was not powerful enough to fight back against him.

Phoenix had only used the most basic of techniques, but he was able to make Lord Voodoo lose
ground.



Lord Voodoo kept howling in anger, but Phoenix did not let up one bit.It was only now that Matthew
truly realized how strong the King of the South's heir, Phoenix, was.

Phoenix's strength was even greater than what he had seen of Gilbert's.

However, Phoenix wasn't even thirty yet, while Gilbert was already over forty.

The time Phoenix had spent practicing the way of the martial arts was far shorter than Gilbert's.

Yet, his strength already surpassed Gilbert's own.

Such talent was truly rare! They hadn't fought for long when Lord Voodoo was sent flying by a punch
from Phoenix.

Lord Voodoo coughed up a mouthful of blood.

As though he had gone mad, he roared and once again lunged at Phoenix.

Phoenix had a mild look on his face as he casually blocked Lord Voodoo's attack.

In just another few strikes, he had Lord Voodoo sailing through the air again.

Meanwhile, Hunter had been forced into a corner by Ambrose.

Hunter was the best killer out there, specializing in ambush and assassination techniques.

Now that he had to face Ambrose in the flesh, his strength was naturally not enough to match the
other's.

In the end, Hunter had some of his ribs broken by a few hard punches from Ambrose.He toppled over
into the snake horde, and although he had the snake- repelling charm that Lord Voodoo had given him,



the blood he coughed up still ignited the snakes’ viciousness.

A few snakes bit him, and in the end, Hunter died tragically on the spot.

The number one killer of Eastshire had fallen tragically amongst the snake horde.

Having seen Hunter's tragic end, Lord Voodoo nearly broke down then.He roared bloody murder as he
charged toward Phoenix, intending to catch him off guard and break past his defenses.

But Phoenix stood there like a mountain.

No matter how much Lord Voodoo struggled, he was unable to make his way past Phoenix.

At last, Lord Voodoo let out a blood-curdling yell.He pulled out the Immortal Charm and roared, "You
intend to kill me? It won't be that easy!"

As he spoke, he bit into the charm, swallowing nearly half of it.

Having consumed the Immortal Charm, Lord Voodoo's Qi levels skyrocketed—eating the Immortal
Charm's flesh would bring out the consumer's power.

Its effects even far surpassed that of energy pills.

Lord Voodoo let out a yell.

With a single palm strike, he forced Phoenix back.He then took advantage of the created opportunity
and made a mad dash out of the cave.

"Trying to escape?!" Phoenix angrily rebutted before he quickly chased after Lord Voodoo.
