Struggling to get back on his feet, Xandros gazed at Jared with sheer disbelief. Jared is merely a Body Fusion Realm cultivator. How did he summon such an overwhelming aura? This is utterly preposterous!
Simultaneously, Remus’ eyes widened in astonishment and disbelief. Jared’s aura rivals my own! Moreover, the speed is astonishing; I barely had time to react!
At that moment, the disdain in Remus’ gaze was replaced by wariness and uncertainty. He couldn’t comprehend how Jared, a mere Body Fusion Realm cultivator, possessed the capability to unleash such an imposing aura.
While there were indeed exceptionally gifted cultivators in the Ethereal Realm who could project auras stronger than their cultivation level, they were few and far between, and the differential wouldn’t typically be too significant.
However, Jared, a sole Eighth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator, had manifested an aura equivalent to that of a Tribulator. It was nothing short of incredible.
Witnessing Xandros being catapulted away by Jared’s aura, Cloud exclaimed with sheer exhilaration, “Now you know who’s about to die, right?”
Xandros’ visage was twisted with anger as he remained silent. Jared’s aura had left him shaken.
“Mr. Xandros, we should go.” Recognizing the futility of contending with Jared, Remus chose to take Xandros away.
His primary mission was to safeguard Xandros, and the consequences would be dire if Xandros was captured. In agreement, Xandros nodded and followed Remus, no longer underestimating Jared after recognizing the wide disparity in their abilities.
While Xandros had no idea what Jared had experienced while he was away, the pace of his growth in terms of strength within such a short period was inconceivable.
“Leave?” Jared scoffed. “You’re already here. Do you think you can still leave?”
A disdainful smirk appeared on his face. I won’t let these two leave!
“No one can stop me if I want to leave, you brat.”
As Remus spoke, his robe fluttered without the presence of any discernible breeze. Unexpectedly, white smoke started to emanate from his expansive sleeves. In an instant, Remus and Xandros vanished, wholly concealed by the smoke.
“Mr. Chance…” Seeing that, Cloud was about to dash over to assist Jared.
“Stay back! This smoke is toxic!” Jared swiftly warned, halting Cloud in his tracks. Then, Jared waved his hands, summoning a powerful gust that swiftly dispersed the white smoke.
Yet, by the time the smoke had dissipated, the figures of Remus and Xandros had vanished without a trace.
“Where did they go? I didn’t see them leave!” Cloud exclaimed, bewildered, as he hurried over. I had my eyes trained on the smoke, and no one emerged from it! How did they vanish without a trace?
Jared quickly surveyed the surroundings. Suddenly, he extended a finger and lightly tapped the space in front of him.
Within his nascent space, the Illusion Nascent Constellation shimmered instantaneously. Sensing the fluctuation of his illusion nascence, Jared smiled.
However, instead of letting his delight show, he turned around and told Cloud, “They must’ve concealed their escape with the smoke. Let’s go.
Still not grasping Jared’s intention, Cloud inquired, “Mr. Chance, I swear I didn’t anyone emerging from the smoke! How could they have escaped?”
“I’m sure they know a vanishing skill of sorts. We won’t be able to see them. Just let them escape for now. I’ll make them pay if I run into them again tomorrow.”
With that, he turned to head back toward Imperial Beast City, and Cloud, though perplexed, decided to follow suit.
At that very moment, Xandros and Remus were standing right in front of Jared and Cloud, who simply couldn’t see them.
