As everyone and Montane Daemon chose to side with Jared and stopped Fayzon from taking action, the latter scowled unhappily.
“I can easily crush him with a single slap. Where’s the need for a fight? It won’t affect the spirit ship,” Fayzon declared loudly.
If they were evenly matched in strength, engaging in combat would spell disaster for the spirit ship. However, the stark difference in power between them rendered the idea of a fight utterly futile.
Fayzon was confident that he could effortlessly overpower Jared, who was just a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator, with a single strike. The onlookers felt that he had a point, so they fell silent.
“Mr. Leaveden is absolutely correct. This individual is merely a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator. Even if I were to engage him, I could easily eliminate him with a single strike. This will never escalate into a fight, let alone pose any threat to the spirit ship.” Zordey stepped forward, echoing Fayzon’s assertion.
He had been nursing a grudge against Jared and his companions, and now, with Fayzon’s involvement, he saw an opportunity to address his grievances and vent his pent-up frustration by killing Jared.
With no one stopping Fayzon this time, he turned to Montane Daemon and said, “Mr. Daemon, since no one is objecting now, will you still prevent me from taking action?”
Montane Daemon declared firmly, “As I’ve stated earlier, I will not permit anyone to jeopardize my safety. It doesn’t matter if you decide to eliminate him or not. If there’s the slightest chance of the spirit ship sustaining damage, I won’t consent to it.”
Fayzon erupted in anger when Montane Daemon declined to give consent. “Hmph! I only sought your approval out of courtesy. Now I’m going to kill him. We’ll see who has the courage to intervene! If anyone dares to interfere, rest assured that the spirit ship will suffer damage and sink, and we’ll all meet our demise…”
After speaking, Fayzon paid no heed to: Montane Daemon and launched an attack at Jared with a palm strike.
Fayzon didn’t exert his full strength in this strike, as it wasn’t necessary. After all, Jared was merely a cultivator at the Fifth Level of Body Fusion Realm, so there was no need to unleash his full power.
Furthermore, he was a Tribulator cultivator. Going all out would not only kill Jared but could also potentially damage the spirit ship.
“Jared!”
“Mr. Chance!”
Seeing this, both Quinley and Cloud rushed over, determined to lend their assistance.
They were aware that their aid would have a limited impact against a Tribulator cultivator, but they couldn’t stand by and watch Jared be killed.
“Don’t come here. A mere Tribulator cultivator can’t kill me,” Jared said confidently. The instant Fayzon took action, it became evident that he was merely a Second Level Tribulator cultivator. Although Jared’s current prowess didn’t measure up to Fayzon’s, it wasn’t a straightforward task for Fayzon to eliminate him.
Furthermore, Fayzon had underestimated Jared and hadn’t exerted his full strength, rendering. the notion of his strike being lethal to Jared utterly implausible!
The onlookers shot Jared disdainful looks. In their eyes, Jared, a cultivator at the Fifth Level of Body Fusion Realm, shouldn’t look down on a Tribulator cultivator.
“Ha! He’s boasting even though he’s about to die.”
“A mere Tribulator cultivator? Doesn’t he know that a Tribulator cultivator can kill him easily?”
“Young people nowadays are full of arrogance despite not having the skills to back it up!”
The onlookers scoffed at Jared’s words, deeming them empty bragging. It was utter nonsense for a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator to look down upon a Tribulator cultivator.
Fayzon couldn’t help but chuckle at Jared’s words. “I’ve never seen a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator who looks down on a Tribulator cultivator. But today, I’ll let you see the difference between us. I won’t kill you with a single slap. I’ll make sure you die in despair and pain…”
As Fayzon spoke, he reduced the power of his palm strike once again. He didn’t want to kill Jared too easily.
