Chapter 382 Who The Hell Are You
To everyone’s surprise, the martial energy blades vanished into nothingness after making contact with Jared’s body.
“What the…”
Zachariah’s eyes were wide with shock.
The crowd, too, was dumbfounded by the sight before them. It was the first time they had witnessed anything like this. The martial energy attacks from an Internal Energy Grandmaster are insanely powerful! How did they just disappear without a trace after hitting his body?
“Do you think Jared used Golden Armor?” someone asked.
Everyone then turned to look at the men from Iron Gate Academy as they were the only ones in Summerbank capable of using Golden Armor.
Noticing their reaction, the head of Iron Gate Academy, Master Iron, waved at the crowd awkwardly and explained, “Hey, don’t look at me like that! Golden Armor isn’t sufficient to withstand an attack from an Internal Energy Grandmaster!”
Just two days ago, I had boldly sought out Jared for revenge. Now that I have witnessed his strength in this fight, I realize that I’m not even worthy of thinking about challenging him!
“Do you have any more tricks up your sleeve? Come on, I’m waiting for you!” Jared taunted Zachariah with a cold sneer.
Zachariah stared long and hard at Jared, but he wasn’t in a hurry to attack this time. At that moment, the guy wearing a hat that had been standing among the Jantz family’s men finally looked up at Jared.
Sensing his gaze, Jared turned to look in his direction as well. Having gotten a clear view of the man’s face, Jared saw that he was actually an old man.
He then decided to ignore the old man and shifted his gaze back toward Zachariah as he continued, “Don’t you want to avenge your son and your daughter’s family? Come on! I’m standing right here!”
Despite the provocations from Jared, Zachariah simply stood there and stared at him with a frown on his face.
The explosion pill did give me a boost in power, but it doesn’t provide me with an infinite supply of martial energy. At this rate, I’ll run out of martial energy after delivering two more attacks. When that happens, I’ll be completely vulnerable like meat on the chopping block!
Noticing that Zachariah wasn’t falling for his taunts anymore, Jared let out a snort as he said coldly, “Fine. If you don’t have the guts to make a move, I will!”
With that, the air around him became charged with an explosive surge of martial energy.
Like a tornado, his energy levels sent the tables and chairs flying everywhere. Unable to withstand the intense force, the arena crumbled beneath his feet.
The dust cleared after a while, but the energy surrounding Jared’s body was unaffected as he stood atop the rubble.
It was so overwhelmingly powerful that Zachariah had no choice but to unleash all of his remaining martial energy just to block it.
Enveloped by a faint mist, Jared looked like an angel when he levitated above the ground.
Zachariah’s eyes were filled with fear as he could feel his martial energy draining rapidly like it was being sucked out of him.
By the time he realized something was amiss and prepared to deactivate his martial energy, his body had already been completely depleted of it.
“W-Who the hell are you?” he asked in horror.
Now I see why he kept taunting me earlier! He’s trying to provoke me into attacking him so he can absorb my martial energy! That’s how he was able to make all those blades disappear into thin air!
“I am the person who is going to kill you!” Jared shouted while glaring coldly at him from above.
To him, Zachariah was nothing but a dead man walking.
“N-No… You can’t kill me…”
Zachariah’s face went pale as he stepped back, only to trip over a piece of rubble and fall on his behind.
