The pure sword intent was Sworder’s gift that would protect Jared when his life was at risk. If it weren’t for the sword intent, Jared would’ve been reduced to a bloody pulp by now.
Rudy’s eyes flickered with disbelief when he realized that Jared was still alive. However, he couldn’t afford to dwell on it at that moment, as his priority was to swiftly put an end to Arthur’s actions.
With determination, Rudy launched a slap toward Arthur, who simply responded with a slight smile. Under everyone’s gaze, the huge face faded and disappeared from sight.
“No!” Rudy hollered with all his might, his eyes bulging out from their sockets. He staunchly refused to accept that his meticulously crafted plan, painstakingly developed over the course of years, had failed at the last possible moment.
“I’m going to kill you! I’ll kill you!” he screamed. angrily, wanting to end Arthur’s life right there and then. Just as he was about to make his move, Rudy’s body began to tremble uncontrollably, engulfed by a flame.
The eight trigrams mark he had placed on the human face had triggered its devastating effect. With no way to escape, Rudy’s body was swiftly consumed by the flames, leaving no. trace behind, not even a single trace of ashes. It was as if he had vanished into thin air, never to be seen again.
As he vanished, a few reluctant roars resonated from the depths of Fire Incineration Sect. With the disappearance of the human face, the radiant rays that enveloped the bronze coffin gradually waned, causing the coffin itself to fade from view.
Simultaneously, Arthur’s body began to gradually fade away. “Mr. Sanders…”
Seeing that, Jared mustered the last shred of his energy to approach Arthur. He reached out frantically to grab Arthur but to no avail. “No, I can’t let you die. You can’t die!”
Jared fixed his gaze on Arthur, who was steadily vanishing before his eyes. Driven to madness, he forcefully expelled his blood essence, igniting the surrounding area in a desperate attempt to prevent Arthur’s disappearance. Regrettably, despite his fervent efforts, Arthur’s form continued to fade away.
“No!” Jared hollered, tears spilling from his eyes. Arthur had helped Jared a lot, so Jared had come to regard him as a close relative. Naturally, it was only natural for him to feel a deep sense of distress upon witnessing his cherished relative fading away right in front of his eyes.
“Jared, don’t be upset. We’ll meet again. Work hard and cultivate. I’ll be waiting for you,” Arthur told him with a smile. It seemed that Arthur wasn’t afraid at all of dying. Under Jared’s watchful gaze, Arthur vanished into thin air, and the sky became peaceful once again.
After Arthur’s figure disappeared, an identical middle-aged man materialized within a secluded study nestled deep within the mountains of the Ethereal Realm. His complexion was pale, and a trickle of blood streamed from his lips. An elderly butler entered the study and was taken aback by Arthur’s pale appearance. He reported, “Mr. Sanders, I’ve summoned. everyone back to the residence.”
“Advise them to refrain from wandering aimlessly for the time being. It appears that Ethereal Realm is currently undergoing a restructuring,” Arthur stated in a calm and composed manner.
“Got it.” The elderly butler gave a polite bow and left. Arthur walked over to the window and pushed it open, gazing up at the sky. His voice carried a tinge of concern as he murmured, “Jared, can you continue to endure? As the truth draws nearer, the dangers will escalate. I pray that you can endure until the very end!”
In the mundane world, Jared reached his limits and collapsed onto the ground. Weakened by his frail physical state and overwhelmed by the emotional turmoil, Jared teetered on the verge of unconsciousness.
“Master…”
“Jared…”
Josephine, Feenix, and the rest quickly rushed toward him.
