Chapter 1652 Humility
“What the hell! I’ve always been humble, but it doesn’t mean that you can look down on me!” Flaxseed snapped as he rolled his eyes at Jared.
Since the Fire-Evading Charm could protect them from the heat of the burning flames, the duo quickly made their way forward.
As the air around them was heated up, they heard a loud hissing noise along the way.
Boom! All of a sudden, the Fire-Evading Charm was destroyed. The flames started surrounding them again, and a powerful wave of energy charged toward them in the next instant.
It happened so quickly that before Jared and Flaxseed could even react, the powerful force had already sent them flying.
“Golem Body!”
As Jared activated Golem Body, he began glowing, and glittering scales enveloped his entire body right after.
Meanwhile, when Flaxseed was thrown into the air, he speedily withdrew a charm and stuck it on his body.
As gusts of hot air continuously assaulted the duo, their bodies spun in mid-air before they were slammed against a wall. Unfortunately, another wave of hot air came right after, sending them flying backward.
About a couple of minutes later, the fire was finally extinguished. It was also then that the wave of heat dissipated.
After the terrible torment, Jared could not help but cough violently. As a Greater Martial Arts Marquis, he never thought he would be in such a wretched state.
Gosh! If I hadn’t activated Golem Body in time, my clothes would’ve been burned to ashes, and I would be stark naked by now!
“Mr. Flaxseed!” Jared called out as he looked over to where Flaxseed was.
Not far away, the latter was lying on his front. Seeing that he remained motionless, Jared quickly rushed over to help him get to his feet.
As Flaxseed’s face was blackened with soot, Jared could not help but burst out laughing.
“What the hell! How can you still laugh when we almost died!”
Flaxseed shot Jared a glare as he spoke.
The charm on Flaxseed’s body had been burned into ashes. Even though the flames had caused a few holes in his clothes, it was fortunate for him that they were still wearable.
“Luckily, I protected my clothes in the nick of time. Otherwise, you would’ve had to face my naked body,” said Flaxseed.
He heaved a sigh of relief silently when he noticed that his clothes remained intact.
It’ll be so embarrassing if I’m buck-naked!
“This is just the entrance… We’ve yet to reach Skywrath Sect, but we have already encountered such an impressive charm. Doesn’t this mean that our journey ahead is even more dangerous?” Jared uttered with a frown.
“That’s for sure! I think we should leave.”
Flaxseed immediately thought of quitting halfway.
“Since we’re already here, we should at least go and take a look at Skywrath Sect.”
With that said, Jared activated Golem Body and stepped forward steadily.
Seeing that, Flaxseed could only fish out a few charms from his pocket and stick them on his body.
“Please! We have no ill intentions. We’re just coming here to have a look. Please don’t make things difficult for us again…” Flaxseed murmured repeatedly.
Surprisingly, they did not encounter any danger on their journey afterward. Perhaps Flaxseed’s prayers had really come true.
Soon, they arrived at a broad plain, and all they could see were rubble and ruins.
One glance was all it took to know that the place was once a battlefield with heavy casualties.
Right in the center, there was a gigantic brick gateway standing upright. It seemed to indicate that this place was once a glorious and prosperous sect.
“Skywrath Sect! This place is the Skywrath Sect!” Flaxseed voiced excitedly as he gazed at the name on the gateway.
Filled with excitement, Jared ran straight toward the gateway without hesitation.
At that moment, Flaxseed wanted to remind Jared not to do anything rash. Nevertheless, before the former could say anything, he noticed that Jared had suddenly stopped moving.
Soon after, an overwhelming wave of martial energy hit Jared, and he was sent flying before crashing to the ground.
“Hey, I was about to remind you! How could you be so impulsive? There must be some hidden mechanisms in Skywrath Sect. You’re digging your own grave for barging in like that!”
Flaxseed immediately reached out to help Jared up from the ground as he spoke.
After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jared exclaimed, “That wave of energy is so terrifying!” He could not help but furrow his brows at the same time.
It’s so powerful… Its power is comparable to the capability of a Top Level Greater Martial Arts Marquis, I suppose.
