Chapter 776 A Severed Hand
Hayden’s eyes widened as he watched Jared’s transformation. He had never seen such an unusual occurrence!
Suddenly, a loud buzzing sound rang out as the Divine Cauldron in Jared’s arms flew into the air and gradually grew into a bronze cauldron that was as tall as a person.
There seemed to be something burning inside the bronze cauldron as it kept emitting wisps of white smoke that Jared’s body quickly absorbed. However, it was no ordinary smoke but spiritual energy. Spiritual energy was rising from inside the cauldron!
When Jared first got his hands on the cauldron, he did not detect any traces of spiritual energy on it. However, the cauldron was brimming over with it now, and the spiritual energy was quickly absorbed by Jared.
In truth, the Divine Cauldron was an ancient divine tool used to brew countless extraordinary pills and miraculous elixirs. Hence, it was unsurprising that it contained spiritual energy.
As Hayden watched the scene unfold, he could not help furrowing his brows. I didn’t expect him to have so many magical items.
He turned to Curtis and said, “If you help me kill this guy, I’ll let you have your pick of one of the magical items later.”
Hayden had used up most of his martial energy during the fight earlier. He thought he could surely finish Jared off, not anticipating the sudden turn of events.
I can’t figure out what other magical item Jared possesses. I’ve practically depleted my martial energy, yet he’s still alive and well before me. I need to team up with Curtis and get rid of him once and for all…
“Sure!” Curtis responded.
Then, he swung his sword through the air, unleashing a wave of lethal intent that transformed into chains and bound themselves tightly around Jared.
At the same time, Hayden seized the opportunity to cast a dark web over them again with a wave of his hands to prevent Jared from escaping.
Despite being thus restrained, Jared neither struggled nor attempted to break free. Instead, he merely continued absorbing the spiritual energy greedily from the Divine Cauldron.
The Dragonslayer Sword in his hand buzzed loudly as it, too, was absorbing the spiritual energy ravenously.
Seeing that Jared did not even struggle despite being bound by chains, Curtis raised his sword and charged toward him. “It’s time for you to meet your end!”
Even so, Jared appeared not to notice Hayden’s impending attack. As he directed all of his concentration into executing the Focus Technique, he started regaining his elixir field’s spiritual energy at top speed.
His body also slowly began recovering, and his bare skin radiated a faint golden glow.
Clang!
Curtis had attempted to pierce Jared’s chest with his sword, but all he heard was a loud, crisp ringing in the air as if it had struck a piece of iron.
Stunned, he gathered his energy and attacked again with even more force.
Swoosh!
The Sword of Evil pierced through Jared’s skin, and droplets of blood began running down the blade.
Curtis burst into maniacal laughter when he saw that Jared was injured. He declared gleefully, “No matter how strong you are, you’re still no match for my sword!”
Since Jared appeared well and truly restrained, Curtis did not think that the former had any chance of defending himself. Hence, he lowered his guard and planned to attack again with even more force.
Whoosh!
Just as he was preparing to attack, the cold glint of a blade flashed before his eyes.
Shocked, he slowly lowered his gaze to discover that his hand that had been wielding the Sword of Evil was now cleanly severed at the wrist.
A crimson river of warm blood flowed from the wound.
“Argh!”
The excruciating pain finally hit Curtis a few seconds later, and he let out an anguished cry.
Despite being restrained, Jared had already achieved oneness with his Dragonslayer Sword. Controlling it with his mind, he used it to sever Curtis’ hand.
