Upon hearing this, Jared immediately ignited Extremus Frost Flame at his fingertips.
With the appearance of Extremus Frost Flame, the surrounding liquified celestial energy turned into ice.
Noticing its effectiveness, Jared intensified his efforts. However, the statue continued to fervently absorb the liquified celestial energy.
In the end, the liquified celestial energy was completely absorbed, leaving only a large chunk of celestial energy ice in Jared’s hand.
At that moment, Jared was holding the statue in one hand, and a large block of ice in the other.
Just as Jared was about to toss the celestial energy ice block into his Storage Ring, he suddenly halted.
If I were to toss this ice block into the Storage Ring, I fear it might get devoured by that Heaven Devouring Beast again. In that case, I’ll end up with nothing at all!
Just as Jared was uncertain whether to store the celestial energy ice block in his Storage Ring, Leighton came charging in with his men.
When Leighton saw Jared’s strange demeanor from above, he was baffled. Nevertheless, he was determined to reclaim that statue.
“You brat, return the statue to me, and I might just spare your life!”
Leighton, accompanied by several members of the Mueller family, approached Jared in a hostile manner.
In response, Jared couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He gently tossed aside the celestial energy ice cube he held and ignited a white flame in his palm.
“Extremus Frost Flame…”
With that, Jared launched a palm strike.
Waves of frost energy mist surged toward Leighton and his companions.
With a cold huff, Leighton, along with a few members of the Mueller family, simultaneously unleashed Blazing Palm.
The roaring flames boldly cut through the chilling white mist. However, it didn’t take long before Leighton and the others were astonished by what they saw.
Watching the roaring flames colliding with the icy mist, they were shocked to see the fire itself being instantly frozen.
The dancing flames, one after another, were all encased in ice, unable to emit any heat.
A member of the Mueller who was standing toward the front was touched by the chilly fog, and his entire arm was instantly frozen solid.
In just a split second, the arm actually fell off.
“What a terrifying mist. Retreat at once!”
Upon witnessing the situation, Leighton was taken aback and quickly ordered his men to retreat.
Seizing the moment, Jared sprang up and escaped in an instant.
He stared at the statue in his hand, yearning to set it ablaze. The precious liquified celestial energy he had painstakingly found had been completely absorbed by it.
Upon seeing Jared escape once again, Leighton was so infuriated that he roared, “After him. We cannot let him escape!”
While doing so, he led his men in pursuit.
Meanwhile, Jared’s pace had significantly slowed down. Even with the aid of Blazing Stride, he couldn’t escape quickly.
Soon, Leighton and his group closed the distance, their eyes burning red. Subsequently, they unleashed a series of flames.
These flames intertwined, forming a massive fire net that was hurled toward Jared. When he saw the attack, Jared was also so anxious that he was breaking out in cold sweat.
He had his hands full at the moment; there was simply no way for him to retaliate.
Quickly, Jared was enveloped in a net of fire. Leighton sneered, “Let’s see how you escape now…”
Leighton and his companions controlled the fire net, continuously tightening it.
At the same time, flames continuously surged around Leighton’s body, with the flames on the fire net rapidly expanding.
The intention was to burn Jared alive.
Left with no choice, Jared invigorated the nascence star within him, igniting a circle of white flames around his body.
A surge of frost energy then radiated all around Jared’s body.
As soon contact was made, the fire net was instantly frozen solid. Immediately after the fire net shattered, Jared managed to escape once again.
However, Jared knew that he could only use the Extremus Frost Flame one more time. He had just refined it and hadn’t had the chance to properly train with it. After using it three times in a row, he was already feeling extremely weak.
“D*mn, not this trick again…” Leighton immediately cursed.
After much difficulty in capturing Jared, he had allowed the former to escape once again.
He simply couldn’t comprehend what sort of method Jared had used. The fact that the latter could even freeze a blazing flame was absolutely beyond belief.
