Chapter 1145 Death Trap Formation
“D*mn it! You have a death wish, brat.”
The Rowling family’s subordinate, who spoke first, clenched his fists.
Slap!
Right after the words left his mouth, a figure flashed across in front of him, and he flew backward the next second.
That hit had thrown that Rowling family’s subordinate backward as he crashed onto the ground hard, blood gushing out of his mouth.
Everyone else was astonished after seeing that, especially the other Rowling family’s henchmen who trash-talked earlier. Colors drained from their faces, and they did not dare to make a sound after that.
They reckoned Jared’s abilities must be extraordinary to be able to send a Martial Arts Grandmaster flying with a single swat.
“Jared, do you really wish to make the Rowling family your enemy?” Jericho asked with his brows knitted after seeing Jared launch an attack without warning.
Jared fell into a momentary daze. “Do you know me?”
Jericho knew he had let his tongue slip. He hastily smiled and said, “Your name is all over the martial arts forum, so it is impossible for me not to recognize you. Actually, Mr. Coby thinks quite highly of you. Those people from the Warriors Alliance are merely fishing for fame with nothing to show.”
Jared stared at Jericho indifferently. He was unfazed by the latter’s words.
This guy pretended not to know me initially, and now he accidentally exposed his lie. He must be harboring ill intentions.
“I don’t care if you recognize me or not. I suggest all of you leave now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
Jared was not interested in becoming acquainted with Jericho.
Taking in Jared’s stance, Jericho had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly. “All right. Since this is your territory, we won’t bother you further. We’ll leave at once.”
Jericho immediately led his men away from the manor.
Although Jericho had left, Jared did not let his guard down. He knew those people from the Rowling family would not give up easily following their sudden appearance. Jared figured they were very likely aware of Pentacarna Tower’s secret.
Why else would they want to take control of the Gardner Manor when the whole place was now lesser than ruins? They had obviously come for Pentacarna Tower.
Jared did not return to Pentacarna Tower to resume his cultivation. Instead, he promptly gestured a few hand seals, causing streams of spiritual energy to burst out from Pentacarna Tower.
He wanted to set up an arcane array around Pentacarna Tower to prevent anyone from entering the structure. Only then could he cultivate in peace.
A Death Trap Formation filled with murderous intent was successfully established in no time.
The Death Trap Formation would be activated if anyone stepped foot within a radius of a few dozen meters around Pentacarna Tower. The murderous intent of the formation would wring any intruder to pieces.
Jared went back into Pentacarna Tower to resume his cultivation at ease after the Death Trap Formation was put in place.
Meanwhile, Jericho and his men stood guard nearby and informed Coby of the situation.
“Mr. Jericho, how powerful is Jared? Are we incapable of defeating him with our combined strengths? Is it necessary for Mr. Coby to come here in person?” one of the henchmen asked in perplexity.
Jericho glanced at him and replied, “Jared killed the director of Jadeborough’s Warriors Alliance, Warren, who was a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster. That Skylar from the Norton family was also hurt by Jared. Let me ask you. Which of these two men is not mightier than us? If we challenge him to a fight, we may die here. Before we departed earlier, Mr. Coby reminded us not to provoke Jared. We just need to think of a way to make him stay.”
Clarity washed over that henchman as he uttered, “I see. Jared is pretty impressive…”
Jericho looked at his watch. Then, he shifted his gaze onto Pentacarna Tower and sneered. I’d like to see how you plan to escape from here when Mr. Coby arrives later…
Inside Pentacarna Tower, Jared was immersed in his cultivation.
With the Focus Technique activated intensely, the spiritual energy inside Pentacarna Tower was rapidly drawn toward Jared.
Due to the enormous potency of the Focus Technique, the entire Pentacarna Tower began trembling slightly, seemingly unable to handle Jared’s fast-paced absorption.
A look of disbelief flashed across Jericho’s eyes as he looked at the shaking Pentacarna Tower from outside.
