Chapter 1181 Life And Death
Lachlan was, at the very least, a Martial Arts Marquis at that moment.
With Jared’s current abilities, it was considerably difficult for him to fight against a Martial Arts Marquis. His defeat would be inevitable if he had to face the others simultaneously.
Therefore, Jared decided to flee. However, Lachlan seemed to have predicated Jared’s course of action.
Just as Jared leaped up, Lachlan waved his arms in the air.
A gigantic net formed by martial energy blocked Jared’s path.
He quickly threw a punch.
Boom!
As the huge net dissolved into specks of dazzling light, Jared’s body was thrown backward instantly, and he fell heavily onto the ground.
At that point, he knew he had missed the best chance for him to escape.
Currently, he reckoned his best defense would be to launch an attack.
With that thought, Jared let out a roar, mustered all the Power of Dragons in him, and activated Golem Body. Scales rapidly materialized and enveloped his body.
Then, a brilliant golden light wrapped around Jared’s entire being.
“Sacred Light Fist!”
Multiple fist shadows darted in Lachlan’s direction. The terrifying force filled the air in an instant and encompassed the entire Dunn residence.
A hint of a grimace flashed across Lachlan’s face at that sight. He did not expect Jared’s aura to be so frightening.
He began to wonder if it was worth it for him to offend Jared for the sake of obtaining the draconic essence.
As the aura inched closer to Lachlan, he gently waved his hand, prompting ripples of lights to spread out with him as the center point.
In a split second, a powerful aura, seemingly formed by the convergence of the energy of heaven and earth, surrounded Lachlan.
Lachlan’s capabilities were not to be underestimated.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to establish a foothold in Jadeborough.
He was adept at utilizing all kinds of magecraft and techniques.
Jared’s Sacred Light Fist appeared utterly ineffective as the enormous power was instantly absorbed by the aura, rendering Jared’s attacks futile.
Then, Lachlan gently waved his arm again. A blinding beam of light swiftly formed from the aura.
The rays of light condensed to form a huge fist before it sped toward Jared.
Jared’s heart sank after he saw that. He noticed that the surge of energy was from the Sacred Light Fist he had used earlier.
It seems like his aura did not absorb the force of my attacks but instead stored the energy before deflecting it back at me.
Boom!
Jared swung his fist. As the two similar powers collided, Jared staggered a few steps backward, and blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.
He had summoned all his strength to deliver the initial punch, never anticipating that he would be on the receiving end of the attack.
“Jared, do you still plan on resisting?”
Lachlan gazed at Jared with frosty eyes.
“I will never sit back and do nothing even if it means my death!”
Jared wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. The aura enveloping his body intensified again. The terrifying aura brought about changes in the climate, causing even the air to tremble.
Boom!
A deafening, thunder-like noise sounded.
Jared stretched out his right hand, and the Dragonslayer Sword appeared in his grip in a flash. The spiritual fire engulfing the Dragonslayer Sword prompted the temperature in the surroundings to rise drastically.
The golden lights around Jared’s body permeated every corner of the sky as dark clouds began to loom over the Dunn residence.
Since this would be a life-or-death battle, Jared did not dare to take it lightly.
He was putting forth his best effort to summon the golden dragon within him.
However, that golden dragon was not under his control. Even Jared could not tell when the dragon would show up.
Apparent greed burned passionately in Lachlan’s eyes at the sight of the Dragonslayer Sword in Jared’s hand.
“I didn’t expect you to have so many magical items in your possession.” Lachlan sneered.
Jared regarded Lachlan with a disdainful look. He loathed hypocrites like the latter the most.
In Jared’s opinion, a hypocrite was worse than a real scoundrel. The former was simply too despicable.
“Nine Shadows!” Jared bellowed.
Immediately afterward, he swung the Dragonslayer Sword, and his body instantaneously duplicated and increased in number.
