Chapter 1261 Goading
“You’re not a match for me if you’re taking me on alone,” Jared goaded.
I might not be able to defeat David alone, but I’ll surely lose if David attacks me with his men.
“How insolent!” David’s eyes narrowed as he waved his arm. “Step back, all of you. No one moves without my order.”
David dismissed his subordinates.
Jared turned to Cecilia. “Ms. Jingle, take Millie and the members of Crimson Palace back into the building. Don’t come near us no matter what happens.”
“Mr. Chance, this man is a Martial Arts Marquis. I fear…”
Cecilia could feel David’s aura was at the level of a Martial Arts Marquis. She feared Jared was no match for him.
“Rest assured. Richard was a Martial Arts Marquis too. Yet, I defeated him.”
Jared gave her a reassuring smile. “There’s not much you can do to help in a battle like this or you will sacrifice for no reason. Thus, no matter what happens, no one should come forward. You guys might distract me and do me a disservice if you tried to help me.”
Cecilia understood people with ability like hers weren’t able to interfere in a battle between Martial Arts Marquises.
“Okay. You be careful.”
Cecilia nodded.
Shortly after, Cecilia retreated into the confines of Crimson Palace with her people, leaving Jared alone with David.
“I know you’re goading me into a one-on-one battle, brat, but all your strategy will only go down the drain in the face of absolute power.”
A terrifying aura radiated from David. Waves after waves of martial energy shot toward Jared like flying daggers.
Jared frowned at the attack. I didn’t expect him to be so fast and for him to attack me when I let my guard down.
Swish!
In the next few seconds, martial energy had left a few bloody traces on Jared’s body.
Luckily, Jared’s body was tough. It shielded his bones and muscles from any injuries.
Without a second of hesitation, a golden glow radiated from Jared’s body. Layers of gold scales covered his skin. Jared had unleashed Golem Body.
In the next second, David slammed his palm toward Jared’s head. He was only a few inches from hitting the most vulnerable spot on Jared’s body.
Jared didn’t dare to let his guard down when facing David.
The pressuring aura David exuded was enough to cause Jared to have difficulty breathing.
“Sacred Light Fist!”
Clenching his jaw, Jared threw his punch at David.
A golden glow blasted, tearing through the air. The blinding light collided heavily with David’s palm.
Boom!
A deafening sound echoed across the sky like a nuclear explosion, sending out shockwaves.
Jared fell back from the impact. He couldn’t withstand David’s strength.
Only a pit around thirty feet was left on the scene. David didn’t move from his spot.
Jared narrowed his eyes at him. He experienced a wave of feelings as he knew he had no chance of winning against David.
David is way too powerful compared to me—a Semi Martial Arts Marquis. He’s on a whole other level.
“With your skills, it was no wonder you could destroy the Norton family and hurt my son. You’re pretty good. There aren’t many young people with ability like yours. Alas, you’re going to die soon. The world will lose yet another genius. Don’t blame me since you offended the Norton family.”
Not letting Jared catch a breath, David slammed his palm, carrying an overwhelmingly powerful force toward Jared.
The martial energy within David’s attack had a force as powerful as a nuclear bomb.
Moreover, David was as quick as lightning. Only an afterimage of him was left where he stood, and in a blink of an eye, he was already right in front of Jared.
