Thunderhawk had only just finished forming the massive palm print when he felt the formidable pressure from the three auras. Taken aback, he quickly unleashed his attack.
Boom! Following an ear-shattering explosion, the palm strike vanished into thin air, and Thunderhawk only felt his body shake for an instant before being sent flying backward.
Seconds later, he crashed heavily into a faraway mountain and leveled the peak to the ground. Seething with rage, Thunderhawk promptly turned into a hawk and flew back.
As soon as he returned, he saw three people standing in front of Jared’s group, and it was clear they were the ones who had fired the three auras.
“Who are you guys?” Thunderhawk asked coldly as he glared at them. Without further ado, the trio began to introduce themselves. “I’m Mason Tall from the Tall family…”
“I’m the leader of Archaic Body cultivators!”
“I’m also an Archaic Body cultivator!”
As it turned out, Mason, Roman, and Ginevra had yet to leave and decided to help Jared and the rest.
Since they were all Tribulator cultivators, not even Thunderhawk dared to underestimate their powers.
Jared and Yuven were overjoyed to see the trio and finally understood what Hester had meant earlier.
“The Tall family? Archaic Body cultivators?” Thunderhawk muttered in confusion. “I have nothing against you guys, so what’s with this sudden attack?”
As far as I know, the Tall family and Archaic Body cultivators live in the far north. We’ve never crossed paths before, so how can there be any bad blood between us? Why did they attack me?
“Indeed, we bear no grudges against one another, but we can’t sit by and watch you harm Mr. Chance,” Mason stated.
“Mr. Chance?” Stunned, Thunderhawk looked at Jared. “Do you mean Jared Chance?”
An icy grin instantly flitted across Mason’s lips. “That’s right. Attacking him is equivalent to attacking us. Don’t you think we have the right to retaliate?”
Upon hearing that, Thunderhawk felt the blood drain from his face. Oh, dear… Even though Jared is only a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator, it’s already impressive enough that he has a king like Yuven to help him. I can’t believe the Tall family and Archaic Body cultivators have got his back, too! How am I supposed to win this fight? Can I still get my revenge?
By then, Thunderhawk was sweating bullets as he scrutinized the formidable team before him.
Argh! Mason, Yuven, and the two others are all Tribulator cultivators! I’d be beaten to a pulp if they teamed up against me… I initially had the upper hand and thought I could exact my revenge on Jared, but who knew everything would come crashing down so soon?
“Thunderhawk, didn’t I warn you earlier that you’d regret this? You brushed me off then, but do you believe me now?” Hester piped up, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
An ashen-faced Thunderhawk merely nodded. his head vigorously.
Yes. I wholeheartedly believe him now… Then again, so what if I do? I’ll be doomed if Jared decides to make things difficult for me! D*mn it. The more I think about my Bloodthirsty Thunderhawks and heavenly thunder fruit, the more I regret my actions! Jared may have picked the fruit, but why couldn’t I have just let it slide? Why did I have to hunt him down? Besides, there’s enough heavenly thunder fruit left for my consumption. I can still break through the Tribulator realm and into the Ultimate Realm. Alas, it’s all over now… Not only have I failed to exact my revenge, but I also have to pay the price with my life!
After noticing how fearful and anxious Thunderhawk was, Hester smiled and turned to Jared. “Jared, can you do me a favor and let this matter slide? After all, it’s better to be friends than enemies.”
“I’ll do as you say, Mr. Sparrow. Moreover, I did pick the heavenly thunder fruits first, so I’m to blame for that,” Jared replied calmly.
Upon hearing that, Thunderhawk felt himself lighting up. Oh! From the sound of things, I think Jared has decided to drop the matter!
“You’ve heard that, too, haven’t you, Thunderhawk? I’d like to formally step in and ask both parties to drop the matter. No one would benefit if you guys continued to fight!” Hester advised.
