Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1136

A bolt of fiery lightning shot toward Shannon and Skylar, but it was too late to block it with a talisman or erect a barrier. His face darkened, and he instinctively shielded her.

He knew Maya's target was him.

Shannon's eyes flickered at the sight of Skylar's action. She yanked off the emerald pendant around her neck and tossed it toward the fire bolt.

Once the pendant collided with the fiery red, it immediately transformed into an invisible barrier, blocking the fire thunder.

The fire thunder rumbled and churned, soon dissipating as if it had been neutralized. Meanwhile, the emerald pendant hit the ground, its surface now marred by several cracks.

Shannon gazed coldly to the front, the mystic chain that had once bound Maya within the array, along with the barrier, had disappeared at some point without anyone noticing.

Maya stood with arrogance, not a hint of fury missing in her eyes when she stared at Shannon and Skylar. No matter what, she had to make them pay for the humiliation she had endured today!

It wasn't until then Skylar realized Shannon had used her emerald pendant to shield Maya's attack. His suppressed rage exploded at that moment, and he roared at the latter, "How dare you use a fire thunder talisman against your kind! This is murder, Maya!"

Maya appeared unfazed, sneering. "This is a mystic duel; whoever is better will naturally win. If you guys lose your lives just because of a fire thunder talisman, I suppose it says a lot about your abilities."

"Hey, watch your mouth!"

"I don't need you to lecture me. You might be the true heir of the Rutherfords, but you definitely don't possess half of the talent I have. What makes you think you can lecture me?"

Originally furious, Skylar cooled down at her words. He shot her a cold glare, and after a while, asked, "So, you're saying I can lecture you as long as I beat you?"

Maya raised her brows. "Getting cocky, huh?"

Her attitude did not provoke him. Instead, he turned to Shannon and said, "Leave her to me."

The remaining four wanted to speak up at first, but a single glare from Rowan silenced them. It was understandable; they had been the first to be subdued, so they had no grounds to object.

…

After both sides agreed not to interfere, Skylar and Maya began engaging in a brawl. There were no talismans involved as it was a physical fight.

He was angry and itching to throw a punch, while Maya had exhausted much of her energy after using three fire thunder talismans. Instead of letting him look down on her, she abandoned the talismans and resorted to hand-to-hand combat.

Although she was much more skilled in talismanic arts than him, she lost the upper hand when it came to martial arts. The two clashed for just a brief moment before he struck a heavy punch against her shoulder joint socket.

A sharp crack echoed through the air, and the bystanders could vividly hear a bone shift.

Watching Maya's left shoulder hang limply, unable to hold itself up, Mike gasped and softly remarked, "That's our Skylar, indeed. When he gets ruthless, he'll fight anyone regardless of gender."
