Chapter 1462 Worse Than Death
The moment Jared recognized the opportunity, glee surged into his heart as he bit the tip of his tongue and used the blood essence flowing out to stand back up.
When the merman saw Jared still able to move, surprise colored his face. “You’re indeed the son of a dragon. Your body is truly tough.”
Once again, Jared heard the merman mention the phrase “the son of a dragon” and was stunned. Expeditiously, he asked, “Who are you? Do you know something about me?”
The merman was still panting heavily instead of replying to Jared. His body was slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of the beast’s cores lying on the floor.
After being sealed away for thousands of years, he barely had any strength left. The reason he employed all his remaining power earlier was to scare away the crowd.
If he had more strength, he definitely wouldn’t have let anyone go; they were excellent cultivation resources to him.
When Jared realized the merman was recuperating, he mustered what little power remained in his body and sent a punch flying in the merman’s direction.
The golden light on his fist was dim. Not much was left of the Power of Dragons too.
Upon furrowing his eyebrows, the merman dodged Jared’s fist.
“If I still had my strength, my spit would be enough to kill you a thousand times over, brat. How dare you attack me? Once I recover my strength, I’ll grant you a fate worse than death!” The merman glowered at Jared.
Due to the forceful activation of blood essence, Jared’s mind became a little dazed, and his vision blurry.
Nonetheless, he was still aware he needed to find a way to end the merman’s life right away. His death would be certain if the merman recovered some strength upon absorbing the spiritual energy.
“I won’t give you the chance!” Once again, Jared bit the tip of his tongue to release a mouthful of blood mist, consequently strengthening his aura significantly.
The golden light on his fist shone more brilliantly. He growled and punched the merman.
Anger was scribbled all over the merman’s face. He had never been ignored by an ant-like that before.
However, he had no energy left in his body. Thus, despite his wrath, he couldn’t do anything.
Seeing that Jared’s fist was about to land on him, he gritted his teeth and shot out a white transparent fishbone from his body.
The fishbone was about half a meter long, and it glinted with cold light like a white jade sculpture.
When the fishbone stabbed through Jared’s body, it instantly disappeared. Jared dropped to the ground, his vision growing darker and darker until he fainted.
Glaring at the unconscious Jared, the merman muttered, “D*mn brat. You forced me to waste my immobilizing sting. Later, I’m going to skin you, cut you up, and suck you dry.”
Then he began absorbing the spiritual energy within the beast’s cores to restore his strength.
At the moment, Zion and the others had successfully escaped Bliss City. When they did, they discovered Dragon Island was crumbling. The initially enormous island had been reduced to a pitifully small piece of land, which was also on the verge of sinking into the sea.
Thankfully, the cruise ship was still around. The crowd rapidly boarded the ship before watching Dragon Island submerge into the ocean.
Soon, everything returned to normal, as though an island had never existed in that area of the sea before.
“What a shame.”
“There were so many beast cores. Now they’re all gone.”
“I was hoping we could go back there again in the future. I guess that’s not happening anymore.”
A lot of people lamented about the fate of the island, including Edgar, who was gazing at where the island once was in silence.
Only Zion seemed less mournful as he peered at the ocean area where Dragon Island used to be. No one knew what he was thinking.
Edgar approached him. Both of them only had one arm left. They lost their arms to the same person, Jared.
