A few more evil spirits charged toward Jared while he was lost in his thoughts.
He continued to slay the oncoming spirits with Dragonslayer Sword. Their primordial weapons were all junk, which Jared wasn’t interested in.
After slaughtering several evil spirits in a row, he felt they weren’t particularly powerful and possessed less energy. How many more evil spirits of this caliber do I have to kill for Zelda to recover?
Jared swung his gaze to the pitch-dark hole. Since these evil spirits came from the hole, there must be something else in there. After all, it makes no sense for such an enormous sealing stone to only be sealing a few weak evil spirits.
Right when he thought of jumping down into the pit to explore, a beam of aura suddenly shot right at him.
Swoosh! He felt a gush of spiritual energy graze past his back at the speed of lightning. Luckily, Jared had quick reflexes. With swift movements, he evaded the blow.
When he turned around to look, only wisps of evil spirits were around him. Everyone else appeared to still be busy fighting with evil spirits, and it was as if no one had attacked him.
With a sweep of his gaze, he didn’t find the attacker but knew for sure someone had intended to attack him sneakily. However, the sneak attack failed, so the attacker hid. With that knowledge, Jared turned around and strode toward the pit.
Swoosh!
The minute he turned his back, another burst of spiritual energy shot toward him. He swiftly looked over his shoulder and fired a blast of spiritual energy from his finger, which collided with the incoming attack.
This time, he finally got a good look at the attacker. It was one of Zordey’s men. Jared had seen him when getting on the spirit ship previously. The man was a Seventh Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator.
A subordinate of the Zupakie family possessed the same cultivation level as Cloud. It was clear the Zupakie family was much more powerful than Stellaris Sect.
The attacker saw that his cover had been blown, so he ditched his hiding spot and boldly. walked over to Jared. “Did Zordey order you to sneak up on me?”
Jared interrogated.
“That’s right. You lied to him, so you must die!” the attacker declared with an evil grin. Although Jared had evaded both his attacks, he wasn’t afraid in the least. Instead, ferocity marred his countenance.
“Thinking about killing me? You and what army? You won’t be able to kill me alone,” Jared sneered.
“Hmph! You’re too arrogant for a mere Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator. I’m a Seventh Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator. Do you think you can defeat me? Are you thinking of using Fayzon as an example of your prowess since he failed to kill you? Do you think we’re unaware that Fayzon had mercy and didn’t want to kill you in the first place, so he didn’t fight with all his might? If he had, a mere Body Fusion Realm cultivator like you would’ve probably already died from a slap from him. However, I won’t let my guard down like him. I won’t let you have a chance to live!”
Zordey’s subordinate unsheathed a dagger and lunged at Jared. Seeing his confidence, Jared smiled with amusement. “Being dumb is disrespectful to your life.”
Jared outstretched his arm and turned his palm to the sky. A fire ignited in his palm, but it was so tiny that it was nearly invisible. Yet, the moment Jared flung the flame out, it suddenly flared into a blaze, entirely engulfing him.
At that moment, Jared was literally a human torch. Even the evil spirits kept their distance from him and didn’t dare to approach. Zordey’s subordinate frowned at the sight.
“I see. So you cultivate fire-based techniques, but do you think surrounding yourself with fire will stop me from killing you? How ridiculous!”
He didn’t realize the power of Jared’s flame and assumed it was the average fire-based technique.
