Hundreds of vine-like tendrils shot toward Jared from all directions. Like a cage closing in on him, the tendrils attempted to trap him. Jared’s lips curled up slightly. His eyes sparkled.
Just as the tendrils closed in on Jared and were about to ensnare him, he suddenly disappeared right before Woodley’s eyes. Woodley was instantly shocked. The hundreds of tendrils lost their target and became entangled.
“Where is he?” Woodley yelled. His heart raced as he couldn’t comprehend how Jared had vanished right before his eyes. But soon, Woodley felt movement behind him.
He attempted to turn around to check, but the hundreds of intertwined tendrils had ensnared his body, preventing him from moving.
This was a case of biting off more than one could chew. Woodley had trapped himself with his own tendrils.
Pfft! Just as Woodley was about to untangle himself from the tendrils, he suddenly felt a sharp pain.
A dazzling golden light pierced through his back and came out through his chest. In an instant, the hundreds of tendrils vanished. Woodley’s face contorted in horror as he looked down at the sword that had pierced him from behind.
He stared with wide eyes, full of disbelief. He couldn’t fathom how Jared, a mere Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator, managed to kill him with a single strike.
Woodley slowly turned his head and saw Jared smirking coldly at him. Jared had drawn out Dragonslayer Sword, which was now dripping with blood.
He spared Woodley only a brief glance before turning and walking away. Still in shock and disbelief, Woodley slumped to the ground.
He couldn’t believe that he had been killed so easily by a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator. He had no idea how Jared had achieved it, and he couldn’t wrap his head around it.
Even in death, Woodley’s eyes remained wide open. The few remaining wandering cultivators on the side watched in shock as Jared cleanly slew Woodley with a single stroke.
Beau, in particular, couldn’t believe how Jared’s strength had rapidly increased in the blink of an eye. He couldn’t figure out the reason behind this.
It was extremely difficult for wandering cultivators to advance their cultivation level. Some of them might not achieve such progress even after a year or several years of hard work.
Wandering cultivators often lacked resources, which was why they were often bullied in the Ethereal Realm.
“Jared, I owe you my life. If I have the chance, I will repay this debt with my life…” Beau and the other wandering cultivators approached Jared and expressed their gratitude. If Jared hadn’t arrived in time, they would have all been dead.
“Don’t mention it, everyone. It’s best for you to leave quickly. If you encounter the other members of the Five Slayers, you’ll still be in danger,” Jared advised Beau and the other wandering cultivators.
Cloud approached Jared and asked, “Mr. Chance, should we also seek out the other two of the Five Slayers?”
“No need to look for them. I believe the remaining two can be handled by others.” Jared shook his head.
Sunny and the others could deal with one of the Five Slayers without much trouble. Besides, Cameron was not afraid of any one of them either, so they were not in imminent danger. Next, Jared and the group headed toward Jipsdale.
Even though the poison in Yuven’s body had been removed, Jared wanted to keep his promise and deliver the Ice Soul Pill to the countess of Jipsdale because he was a person with integrity.
Jared knew how invaluable the Ice Soul Pill was and that his strength would undoubtedly skyrocket if he consumed it. He might even gain insights into other nascence, but he wouldn’t do that.
In no time, they arrived in Jipsdale. Hester had been waiting for them at the entrance as if he knew they would be coming.
