There was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood at the Luminous Sect campsite. Most Luminous Sect disciples were dead, and the rest had chosen to self-destruct. A few of them were so gravely injured that they couldn’t move. Archer and Skyler were shielding Matthew with their bodies. They knew they were no match for Yona, but neither of them flinched.
“I’m impressed, Matthew. To think you successfully raised so many loyal disciples. Once I slaughter them all, I’ll absorb your power!” Yona sneered. Black smoke surrounded his palms before he attempted to grab Skyler and Archer.
Even though the duo was aware that death was – inevitable, there was no fear on their faces. Instead, they were prepared to unleash all of their martial energy before death.
Just as Yona aimed his palms at them, a blinding light was shot through the night sky. looking as though the sun had risen ahead of schedule.
Soon, an overpowering wave of aura crashed toward Matthew’s group at an astonishing speed. It turned the trees and rocks into dust and created deep ditches in the ground. Matthew’s group was dumbfounded. Then, they shifted their attention to the brilliant light in confusion.
Yona’s expression changed as he redirected his palms toward the overwhelming attack. He unleashed a mighty aura toward the blinding light, causing both forces to clash against each other violently.
Boom! A mushroom cloud was formed in the area as a result. The devastating shockwave that followed sent everyone flying backward. Even Yona was pushed back by over ten meters.
When the dust settled, Jared appeared. He was holding the Dragonslayer Sword with rage burning in his eyes. That brilliant attack earlier was a light slash from him.
“You?” Yona was taken aback. I didn’t expect him to be capable of unleashing this much power. “Mr. Chance!” The eyes of Matthew, Archer, and Skyler were filled with hope when they saw Jared.
“Are you all right, Mr. Campbell?” Jared crouched down and put a hand on Matthew’s shoulder, pouring spiritual energy into him. Matthew smiled. “I’m fine. I won’t die that easily.”
Moments later, Jared offered Matthew the beast core of a Blazing Tiger. “This is a demon beast core, Mr. Campbell. If you ingest it, it’ll help you recover rapidly.”
Matthew was stunned upon accepting the beast core because he could tell it once belonged to a powerful demon beast. Once he consumed the beast core, he regained his lost strength as a warm sensation traveled. through his body.
“Have you regained your strength, Mr. Chance?” asked Skyler. Based on his attack earlier, I think he should be at Top Level by now. Jared nodded. “Yes. You two, take Mr. Campbell away from here immediately. I’ll hold the enemies back for you.”
While my attack earlier knocked Yona back, I don’t think I can defeat him if we fight for real. Besides, he still has the support of many disciples from Scorching Heaven Sect. If they surround me, I’m as good as dead! Skyler and Archer must take Matthew away as soon as possible so that I can flee, too. I may not be able to win, but I’m confident I can escape.
“Mr. Chance…” Matthew knew that Jared was. still no match for Yona.
