Chapter 1404 Core Essence
Mr. Sanders’ eyes lit up when he saw what was happening before his eyes. At the same time, he looked stunned.
“Jared had gotten the core essence of Nine Shadows. What miraculous event did he encounter again?” Mr. Sanders murmured to himself.
“Mr. Sanders, Jared learned Nine Shadows from Ichiro. It seems like that fellow from Jetroina is good,” Xavier explained, thinking Mr. Sanders didn’t know who Jared learned Nine Shadows from.
In response, Mr. Sanders smiled and said, “Ichiro’s Nine Shadows isn’t even the real deal. In fact, it doesn’t even have one-tenth of the power of the real Nine Shadows. One of the inheritors of Nine Shadows had probably introduced Nine Shadows to Jetroina. In reality, Fenix Osborne from Chanaea was the person who invented Nine Shadows. The technique didn’t originate from Jetroina!”
Upon hearing Mr. Sanders’ explanation, Xavier finally knew that Ichiro’s Nine Shadows had originated from Chanaea.
“All right. Let’s go.” Mr. Sanders slowly descended the mountain.
Xavier was confused. Why is Mr. Sanders leaving? What if Jared dies? What should we do then?
“Mr. Sanders, are you not going to keep watching Jared? What if—”
“There’s no what ifs. That kid is stronger than I thought!” Mr. Sanders flashed a faint smile and asked, “How are things with the Watanabe family?”
“The Watanabe family had secretly deployed a few batches of assassins, but they were all killed at the borders. Now, they don’t dare to act rashly anymore,” Xavier answered.
The Watanabe family stopped looking for Jared recently because Mr. Sanders had sent his men to stop them. It wasn’t because they had given up.
“Okay. Keep your guard up. Don’t let the Watanabe family come here and commit murder,” Mr. Sanders reminded Xavier.
Xavier nodded. “I’ll relay the order!”
After that, Mr. Sanders and Xavier left the scene. Meanwhile, Diego was glaring at Jared furiously. He didn’t expect Jared to have mastered such an impressive technique.
Diego then pointed toward the sky, and a ray of light instantly broke through. Soon after, a shining sword appeared in his hand.
“Divine Sword!” Diego thundered. His sword lit up, and the light extended tens of meters long.
Jared was calm and collected. The Dragonslayer Sword in his hand was buzzing, and a wave of murderous aura exuded from the sword.
He was infusing the sword with the Power of Dragons.
“The first technique of Nine Shadows!”
Jared slightly moved his Dragonslayer Sword upward, and a strong gust of wind started blowing in the area. At the same time, the terrifying waves of sword energy were unleashed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of exploding noises rang in the air. Suddenly, the sky turned dark, and neither the sun nor the moon could be seen.
Upon enduring the sword energy Jared had unleashed, Diego’s long sword was shattered and slowly disappeared.
Diego’s hand trembled violently from the impact, and his shining sword was reduced to only a few inches left.
Diego was infuriated. The shining sword in his hand expanded once again, and he swung it toward Jared.
This time around, Diego unleashed all his spiritual energy and showed Jared no mercy.
With Dragonslayer Sword in his hand, Jared fought back. They were both burning their spiritual energy in their bodies. Such a battle would consume a huge amount of spiritual energy.
The crowd was staring at them in disbelief. No one had expected Jared’s ability to increase once again.
Within a short period of time, the two of them had already used more than a hundred moves on each other. The huge consumption of spiritual energy had Diego panting. At the same time, his expression was grim. He didn’t expect such a hard battle against Jared.
