Chapter 499 A Chaste Maiden
When Jared lifted his head to regard the Flaming Palm hurtling down toward him, his lips curled into a smirk.
“Yeah. Now that’s something. I guess I’ll be helping myself to this as well!”
Seeing Jared’s laid-back demeanor came to Bruce as a surprise. The latter then put more power behind his hands and increased the intensity of the flames.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The massive Flaming Palm pinned Jared underneath with a loud bang and engulfed Jared within with its roaring flames. Even those sturdy rocks on the ground had caught fire, one after the other.
The fiery cauldron that rocketed several meters skyward could melt walls of steel, not to mention a person!
“Jared!”
“Mr. Chance…”
This time, Jayden, Tessa and the others were scared witless.
Dominic, too, regarded those devastating flames in sheer disbelief. He could not believe that Jared had died just like that!
“Hmph. Insolent child. You should have known better than to challenge me…” Bruce cussed in contempt.
“It is over, Jayden, Cristopher. Once I finish you, all of Salinsburgh will belong to me.” Isaiah regarded the duo with smugness all over.
Left ashen-faced, Jayden and Cristopher were now bereft of all illusions!
Conversely, Tessa bit her lip. “I cannot allow this beast to taint me, Dad. I’m sorry for being unfilial, but I can only hope to make it up to you in my next life!”
With that, Tessa dashed head-along toward a massive boulder!
“Within the entertainment industry in this day and age, a chaste maiden like you is a rare breed indeed.”
Just as Tessa was preparing to kill herself, Jared’s voice suddenly rang out.
When she turned sharply in its direction, she saw Jared standing there completely unscathed. Even his clothes remained pristine and intact!
“This… What’s going on here?”
Tessa could not believe her own eyes.
The others were equally in shock. None of them could fathom how such a massive fire could do no harm whatsoever to Jared.
“Impossible. This is just impossible…” With eyes widened, Bruce howled like a madman.
“What’s so impossible about that? Haven’t your mentor taught you that all things are possible in this world?” The corner of Jared’s lips lifted.
“I don’t believe it. I refuse to believe that I cannot kill you…” Bruce roared and then bit hard upon his own finger. The fresh blood that flowed from it fell upon the stones on the ground below.
It was uncertain how many drops it took but the rocks that were stained with his blood moved as though under someone’s control!
Shortly after, those rocks piled up and merged into a nearly two-meter-tall stone golem. The earth where the stone golem strode upon trembled in its wake.
“Even if I should bleed out, I shall have your head!”
The voice might belong to Bruce, but his speech emerged from within the stone golem.
Its thunderous voice made everyone’s head spin and compelled them to cover their ringing ears.
“Is this the stone morphing? Now it’s getting interesting!”
Jared evoked a chilling smile. Bruce’s magecraft is indeed something to behold. No wonder I’ve felt the flow of his spiritual energy a cut above the others!
The stone golem inched toward Jared, one step at a time, and with every step, it left behind a deep crevice where all the rock underneath was crushed to bits!
All eyes were upon that animated being, beheld in stunned silence. The observers then variously retreated until they had themselves brought right to the very edge!
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
When the stone golem reached Jared, it threw a punch toward the latter so violently that it threatened to tear the entire mountain apart!
