Chapter 2301
The First Heir
âWhy not?â Philip said nonchalantly.
The thugs had all been incapacitated, and the only opponents left were Old Cain and his two
subordinates. Although the auras exuded from those three were not weak, Philip did not take them
seriously at all.
If it really came down to a fight, Philip was sure that they would not last more than a second. The only
thing he needed to watch out for was to ensure that his supernatural ability was not exposed in this
situation.
The two subordinates behind Old Cain had already taken two steps forward and were standing in front
of him, forming a triangle.
This was the starting position of the Triangle Formation that Old Cain and his two subordinates had
practiced for a long time since they started training in the Nonagon. After honing their skills for so long,
the cooperation between the three could be said to have reached a perfect state.
However, they had never used the Triangle Formation in actual combat. It was not that they did not
want to but there had never been an opportunity to do so. Even in the face of the pursuit by the Soldier
King, the trio did not activate this killing formation.
The Soldier King who once hunted them down was eventually beaten and maimed by them. He was
nowhere to be found now.
However, facing Philip at this moment, they made a tacit decision to use the Triangle Formation. This
might be their only fighting chance.
Old Cain threw the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth to the ground, then lifted his foot to crush the
cigarette out.
âYoung people really donât know their limits. If you squat on the ground with your hands on your head
right now, I can still give you a way out. Otherwise, only death awaits you.â
Philip did not say anything but just stretched out his hand and hooked his finger at the three.
Old Cain narrowed his eyes and knew a fight was inevitable.
âYouâre courting death!â Old Cain shouted sharply. Like a tiger out of the cage, he pounced on Philip
with his hands bent into sharp claws. They carried a layer of weak energy that formed a sharp air
blade, which was sent clawing at Philipâs chest.
Although it was a simple move, when Old Cain performed it, there was a sense of magic.
A strong wind whistled and Old Cainâs hands seemed to have turned into sharp claws. If he could grab
Philipâs body, a large chunk of flesh would be clawed out.
Old Cainâs two subordinates moved at the same time. They flanked Philip from the left and right,
attacking Philip from the side and back.
One kicked Philipâs knee socket, while the other punched Philipâs lumbar spine.
The key to the Triangle Formation was to move in and out together and attack at the same time. They
were basically constantly exchanging their lives for each other. No matter who Philip faced, his
opponent would definitely attack Philip desperately to create opportunities for the other two.
At this moment, Old Cain went out of his way and desperately tried to hold Philip back to create an
opportunity for his two subordinates. Old Cain knew that as long as he could hold Philip back and let
the other two hit Philipâ s vital points, Philip would be crippled even if he managed to survive. At that
time, Old Cain could easily take down Philip.
Philipâs eyes became colder and colder. The temperature around him instantly dropped by several
degrees.
Philip was never serious before this, but now, Philip got serious.
Flipping his hands, Philip did not retreat but advanced, rushing toward Old Cain who wanted to pounce
on him. Old Cain was fast, but Philip was faster. Philipâs hands formed afterimages in the air. Before
Old Cain could react, Philip had already grabbed Old Cain by the neck using his right hand.
Old Cainâs forward movement suddenly stalled as fear rushed from his heart to his head. Looking down
at Philipâs hand grabbing his neck, Old Cainâs thoughts were in a mess.
âF*ck!â
âThis kid⦠He was not an ordinary person!â
âHe was supernatural too!â
Philip rushed forward as he grabbed Old Cain by the neck, while his left hand ruthlessly smacked Old
Cain on the chest.
