“Well, bring it on, then. I’m not going to give you the heavenly thunder fruits,” Jared said flatly. Seeing that Jared refused to surrender the heavenly thunder fruits, the man was enraged. He pulled out a formation plate and tossed it into the air with all his might. The formation plate exploded midair, enveloping Jared and him in a white curtain.
“This is a forbidden arcane array, kid! I’ve locked down this space so no one outside can see what’s happening here, and you can’t escape! I’m going all in for these three heavenly thunder fruits!” The man smirked, his aura exploding from his body.
Clearly, the man had bought the formation plate at a high price. After all, as an alchemist, there was no way he could have carved his own formation plate. The man was speaking the truth by immediately unleashing the formation plate. He was prepared to go all in.
“I didn’t want to fight you, but since you refuse to relent, don’t blame me for what happens next.” Jared shook his head.
“You’re just a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm, punk! How dare you utter such arrogant words! It seems you’ll remain ignorant of my might unless I show you some pain!” Upon ending his sentence, the man leaped into the air and sent his fist flying toward Jared.
The man was extremely powerful as his punch immediately tore the void apart, creating loud booms. Thanks to the arcane array, he needed not to worry about exposing himself.
The man was extremely fast as he arrived before Jared in the blink of an eye. Jared quietly watched the man land before him. Casually, he raised his palm and caught the man’s fierce punch.
“H-How…” The man was astonished because, realistically, a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm shouldn’t be able to intercept his attack easily. Furthermore, he was taken aback by Jared’s energy.
“Surprised, aren’t you? Well, there’s more to come,” Jared sneered. Following that, the Power of Dragons burst out of his body. That immense power swiftly blasted the man away.
“W-What is this power? How can it be so terrifying?” Disbelief was written all over the man’s face as he fell from the air. Instead of answering the question, Jared arrived in front of the man in a flash. The man lost his composure and hastily raised his arms to shield himself from Jared’s assault.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t. Jared’s punches rained down on him like a hailstorm. Jared threw hundreds of punches, pushing the man backward. The forbidden arcane array even shattered as Jared continued attacking violently.
The man leaned against the wall fearfully and spat out mouthfuls of blood. He had never imagined a cultivator at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm like him would be powerless against a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm.
If he had known of that outcome, he wouldn’t have tried to seize Jared’s heavenly thunder fruits. Looking at Jared’s cold eyes, the man trembled in fear and pleaded, “Please, spare me. You and I are alchemists and have a close relationship with Emerald Cauldron Sect,”
The man was aware that Jared was from Emerald Cauldron Sect. After all, Ghaylen had been following Jared around. Many people, especially the alchemists who attended the Alchemist Fair, knew Ghaylen.
“If I had been the one who was driven to a corner, would you have spared me because I was an alchemist from Emerald Cauldron Sect?” Jared asked.
At that moment, the man was at a loss for words because he definitely wouldn’t have shown Jared mercy in that scenario. Seeing that the man was staying silent, Jared conjured a flame in his right hand. “Since you were planning to melt me with Erosion Powder, I shall do the same to you with spiritual fire.”
