“Haha! You’re brazen, but I like that. Your cultivation will belong to me in no time!” The figure laughed madly before disappearing into thin air. Then, it morphed into a ball of black fog and enveloped Jared.
Although Jared wanted to devour and refine the black fog, he suddenly remembered something the moment he opened his mouth. He instantly dismissed that idea.
Soon, Jared’s body exuded a golden glow as he activated the Golem Body. Within seconds, the dazzling glow pierced through the dark fog, which solidified into a figure again. It stared at Jared intently.
“No wonder you were able to force me to reveal my original form even though you’re just a Martial Arts Saint. Looks like you are the Golden Dragon’s True Form… However, your body is of no use to me. On the other hand, I can make use of the Power of Dragons lying within you!”
With that, the figure dashed forward. Before Jared could react, he felt a heavy blow on his chest, causing him to stagger a few steps backward. A gap actually appeared in the Golem Body!
Jared frowned. If a mere soul remnant could be so powerful, it was unimaginable how terrifying its original form was. “Who are you? Why did you leave a remnant of your soul in Mr. Campbell’s body?” demanded Jared.
“You speak too much. Do you think I’ll tell you? Even though you shouldn’t belong here, you insist on being nosy. The hidden realm is not as simple as you envision. Do you think that the hidden sects do not care for worldly affairs? It’s just that those external places do not have the resources that they want. Otherwise, do you think that those hidden sects would’ve remained idle? Remember that humanity is greedy. No one is capable enough of attaining a peaceful life without succumbing to temptation.”
With that, the figure attacked again at an even greater speed. It was so fast that Jared could not even discern any movement in time.
Thud! Jared’s chest received another blow, sending him staggering backward a few steps again. The Golem Body gradually faded before it eventually melted into thin air.
From how the soul remnant could destroy the Golem Body with two blows, the extent of its powers was obvious. “Looks like you’re going to treat me like a weakling if I don’t attack.”
After Jared finished speaking, rays of golden light shot out of his body, illuminating the entire room in an instant. He immediately aimed a punch at the figure. “Sacred Light Fist…”
Multiple fist shadows, enveloped in a golden glow, surrounded the black figure within seconds. “Hahaha! I’m just the mere scrap of a soul. Can you even touch me?”
With a loud laugh, the figure suddenly became a ball of black fog and disappeared. Soon after, a huge gust of wind attacked Jared from behind. Although he dodged sideways instinctively, he still got hit. His body fell forward, smashing the chairs and tables in front of him.
“Haha! Be obedient. All I want is the Power of Dragons. Your body will still be yours. Even if you lose the Power of Dragons, your abilities won’t fall significantly,” said the figure to Jared with a burst of maniacal laughter.
Jared frowned as the expression on his face became gloomier. He scanned the room, knowing that he had too little time to react in this enclosed space.
As the opponent was just a soul remnant, it did not leave behind any aura fluctuations even when it moved. In that case, it was difficult for Jared to detect its traces.
With a flick of his wrist, the Dragonslayer Sword materialized in his hand. A greedy glow appeared in the figure’s eyes when it spotted the Dragonslayer Sword that Jared was holding.
Jared transferred the Power of Dragons into the Dragonslayer Sword. In an instant, it shone with a yellow glow as a golden dragon wrapped around the blade.
“Slash!” Jared slashed the sword, flooding the entire room with the sword’s aura. When the figure saw that, it instantly morphed into black fog. The light pierced through the fog and slashed the four walls of the room.
Boom!
