“No matter what pill you take, you will still meet your doom today!” “We shall see!” Sigurd responded. He gave Francois a look. With their increased strength, they both charged toward Jared once again.
“Well, bring it on!” Jared propelled himself into the air, engaging in a three-way battle with them. He remained calm and continued battling with them while leading them to the mountains outside Rock Village.
He didn’t seem to be in a hurry to defeat them. He seemed to be regarding them as a means of practice.
Jared had recently acquired the Power of Three. It was a good time for him to familiarize himself with the use and the power of it by using it on Francois and Sigurd. Jared’s attacks were far more powerful than before.
The mountains shook. Enormous rocks shattered, and extensive areas of trees collapsed, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.
Antonio and the rest watched in silence. They could only pray silently for Jared’s safety as they couldn’t offer any help..
Approximately ten minutes later, the mountain range, initially hundreds of meters tall, had been reduced by several dozen meters due to their fierce battle.
“Is that all you’ve got? If so, I’m done with you,” Jared said calmly after forcing them back with a single punch. Even though their strength had increased, Jared still found them weak. He didn’t want to waste more time with them.
Francois and Sigurd looked at Jared in utter disbelief. Even with their increased strength, they still couldn’t defeat him. The ease with which Jared subdued them was evident.
They were armed with their weapons, unlike Jared, who was unarmed. Moreover, their numerical advantage proved futile in their attempts to subdue him. A shiver ran down their spines. “It looks like you have no other tricks. Die, then.” A golden glow enveloped Jared’s fist as he swung it toward them. They hastily blocked his attack.
Clang! Francois’ and Sigurd’s weapons snapped into halves, and they were sent flying backward. They struggled to regain their footing. This time, it required considerable strength for them to help each other stand up.
Jared didn’t continue attacking them. He looked at Francois and Sigurd silently, seemingly deep in thought. Seeing that, Francois and Sigurd looked at Jared nervously. They had no idea when Jared would take their lives. They knew by now that Jared could kill them anytime he wanted.
Francois was on the verge of breaking down. Desperate to evade death’s grasp, he implored, “J-Jared, there’s no animosity between us. I’m willing to kneel before you. Please, spare my life.”
“Francois, what are you talking about? You’re a direct disciple of Emerald Cauldron Sect. How could you say that? You’re humiliating us. If Master finds out about this, he’ll definitely skin you alive!” Sigurd said angrily when he heard Francois offering to get on his knees to ask Jared to spare his life.
Alas, he had no idea that their master had also knelt before Jared. Instead of answering Francois, Jared stood in place and stared into the distance blankly. His attention was no longer on them..
As he remained silent, Francois and Sigurd shared a quick look before slowly retreating from the scene. It was a great chance to attack Jared, but they dared not do so anymore.
After retreating over one hundred meters and making sure that Jared showed no signs of attacking them, they heaved a sigh of relief, spun on their heels, and fled the scene.
