Chapter 1403 Delusional
Diego frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Well, you’ve cultivated for decades, and this is your first fight against a human, right? It’s such a shame you’re going to die in your first fight in decades,” Jared remarked.
Diego laughed. “Haha! What an ignorant fool! You’re one of those big talkers. I’ve seen a lot of people like you before. Normally, the more you talk big, the lousier you are. It seems like I’ve overestimated you.”
“Let’s fight, and you’ll see if I’m talking big!” With that, Jared reached out his right hand, and Dragonslayer Sword appeared in his grip.
The Dragonslayer Sword was emanating a dim light, which wasn’t at all conspicuous, but it was rather intimidating.
Diego’s eyes instantly lit up when he saw the Dragonslayer Sword Jared was holding.
“Is that a spiritual sword?” Instantly, Diego’s breathing turned rapid. “Who would’ve known that a kid like you would have a spiritual sword? No wonder you could reach such a high cultivation level in a place with limited spiritual energy. It seems like you have quite a few magical items with you. Your spiritual sword has a sword spirit. It’s so priceless, and it’s a pity that you’re the one wielding it.”
Diego shook his head and added, “If you’re willing to give me your spiritual sword and draconic essence, I’ll let you live. I don’t want your Nascent Soul anymore.”
“Are you for real?” Jared asked.
Seeing that Jared was tempted, Diego patted his chest and assured him, “Of course! I’m a top Nascent Soul cultivator. Why would I lie to a kid like you?”
“Diego! How could you do that?” Zion, who was standing nearby, was sweating bullets when he heard that. He had invited Diego there to kill Jared instead of making a deal with him.
“Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are? I’m not your servant! I’ve never promised you anything either!” Diego glared at Zion.
Zion was embarrassed, and he didn’t dare to utter a single word in response.
“Young one, if you make a deal with me, not only will I let you live, but I’ll also bring you to Encanta Island. You can be my disciple. By then, no one would dare to kill you. With your talent, you’ll surely become someone great in the future!” Diego continued to convince Jared.
However, Jared chuckled and mocked, “Even if you don’t want my Nascent Soul anymore, I still want yours! How dare you ask me to be your disciple? I only needed less than a year to be as strong as you! Do you think you’re worthy enough to be my mentor? You’re delusional, old man! If you were to kneel before me and beg me to tutor you, I might actually teach you a thing or two so that you could cultivate faster!”
“You’re asking for death!” Diego was enraged.
Immediately afterward, Diego’s body was bursting with energy. In fact, waves and waves of spiritual energy could be seen circling around his body.
Suddenly, numerous white daggers appeared around Diego’s body.
All the daggers were pointing at Jared, and they were packed with energy.
Next, Diego’s figure shuddered slightly before he waved his hand.
Those white daggers charged toward Jared and rained down on him.
While staring at the daggers above him, Jared swung the Dragonslayer Sword.
“Nine Shadows!” he shouted.
Within seconds, Jared’s body slowly became transparent. It was as if he had transformed into a blurry shadow.
The shadow then suddenly turned clear. Somehow, another Jared with the Dragonslayer Sword appeared somewhere not far away.
Although the daggers were piercing his body, Jared didn’t react to it. Instead, the other Jared quickly swung the Dragonslayer Sword toward Diego.
Diego felt the enormous wave of sword energy. He then frowned and backed away at lightning speed. Just like that, he barely avoided Jared’s attack.
