Garthor’s speed was so fast that it created a strong gust of wind that swept through the area. like a hurricane. Subsequently, waves upon waves of terrifying martial energy rushed at Jared. Seeing that, Jared unleashed his move yet again, shouting, “Nine Shadows!”
The Power of Dragons surged within his body at a frantic pace, and the draconic essence on his chest started to shine intensely. Immediately afterward, countless beams of light were emitted from the Dragonslayer Sword.
The light and martial energy collided in mid-air, and from time to time, strays of martial energy would strike at Jared viciously. Despite so, he gritted his teeth and pushed through the pain.
At the same time, beams of light pierced through Garthor’s martial energy before hitting him. The one-sided battle that Garthor was expecting quickly turned into a fight to the death. Soon, the dust settled, and Jared and Garthor stood facing each other.
The former’s body was now covered in wounds, and a steady stream of blood was trickling down the corner of his mouth. Meanwhile, Garthor’s clothes were in tatters, and some of the wounds on his body were emitting a faint. green light, rapidly healing his injuries.
Although Garthor didn’t sustain any serious injuries, it was still a humiliating experience for him. He couldn’t believe that he was reduced to such a pathetic state by a mere Martial Arts Saint.
Walking toward Jared, he said, “Hey, brat, you’ve piqued my interest. You’re the first one who managed to force me to this point and to think that you’re only a Martial Arts Saint.”
As he spoke, he exuded a terrifying aura that enveloped Jared, rendering him immobile. When Skyler saw that, she turned to Archer and asked, “Archer, if this goes on, Garthor’s going to take him away. What should we do?”
“Let’s take action. I’ll hold off Garthor later so that you can take the kid and leave. We mustn’t let the Demonic Cultivator fall into the hands of Stormwind Sect. If they manage to obtain the Demonic Cultivation technique, I’m afraid that even reclusive sects like us would have a hard time in the future,” came Archer’s reply.
“Archer, you-”
Skyler was about to say something when she noticed that Jared, who had been immobilized by Garthor’s aura, was burning up in flames. Amidst the glow of the crimson flames, Jared slowly raised the Dragonslayer Sword. A powerful wave of sword energy burst forth.
Garthor was stunned as a look of surprise soon spread across his face. He never expected that Jared, who was so severely injured, was able to break free from his aura and conjure up such a terrifyingly strong sword energy.
“How is it possible? How does this young man still have the energy to retaliate?” Archer widened his eyes and stared at Jared in disbelief. I doubt I’d be able to hold on for so long if I was in Jared’s shoes; especially if I’m this injured. I’d probably be too weak to resist. And yet, even. though the odds are stacked against him, he’s actually fighting back!
Upon that thought, Archer was made aware that in terms of strength, Jared was much stronger than him despite the fact that the young man was only a Martial Arts Saint.
At that moment, Archer felt bewildered. He had no choice but to admit that the young man he had initially looked down upon was indeed so much more capable than him.
I can’t believe my strength as a Martial Arts God is inferior to that of a Martial Arts Saint. Archer felt as if his mind had been blown, and he had no idea what was going on anymore.
“I didn’t expect you to still have the ability to resist. I’ll make you give up for good this time.” Garthor waved his hands slowly in the air, and a faint light began to appear. The ball of light soon became brighter and started spinning. As the wind picked up, the terrifying aura surrounding Garthor intensified as well.
Meanwhile, Jared felt as if a rotating sun had appeared before his eyes, and the immense power coming from it threatened to devour everything. Puzzled by Garthor’s action, Skyler asked, “Archer, is Garthor trying to kill him? Why is he resorting to such a deadly move?”
