Chapter 990 Shameless Oaf
Clang! Both swords clashed with one another, and a thunderous noise echoed. The sparks they made further brightened the cave.
Edgar felt his chest hurting the second their swords met, but when he looked at Jared, he realized that Jared seemed completely unfazed.
“Again!”
Edgar attacked once more. Refusing to admit defeat, Jared met the man head-on.
Sword energy spread all over, causing the rocks to fly everywhere in the cave. The two of them made a hundred moves, but even then, no one had the upper hand.
Seeing that prompted Warren to send a wave of martial energy toward Jared, hitting him hard.
Jared’s body acted as though it were a kite with a broken string. He fell from the air, and Edgar took advantage of the situation by aiming his sword at the painting Jared had with him. The painting flew and landed right in Edgar’s hand soon after.
Jared, on the other hand, crashed heavily into the ground. It hurt so bad that he was disoriented and practically seeing stars.
“Jared!” Colin rushed to help Jared up.
Jared glared daggers at Warren. That shameless oaf! He ambushed me!
After getting his hands on the painting, Edgar hurried to Warren and handed the painting over.
When Warren opened it, he sensed a wave of refreshing spiritual energy coming at him, and it felt amazing.
The image had already turned into that of a pond by then, and the blooming flowers and dews looked surreal.
“It truly is amazing…”
Warren was flabbergasted to see the painting before him.
“You shameless b*stard! I can’t believe you ambushed me! Someone like you is not worthy of being the director of the Warriors Alliance,” roared Jared while glaring at Warren.
A small grin crept up on Warren’s face. “Did you just say that I ambushed you? Did anyone see me doing that? Why don’t you ask everyone else here? Did they see anything? You are not strong enough to defend your painting, and that’s the truth, so don’t go blaming others for your incompetency. Don’t assume that you can do whatever you want just because you have Mr. Sanders on your side. There is nothing he can do even if I were to kill you right here and now.”
Jared was infuriated to hear what Warren said, but under such circumstances, he had no choice but to hold his anger in.
Warren put the painting away in delight after seeing Jared falling silent. After that, he turned to Blake and asked, “Mr. Henckle, are there any traps on that coffin?”
Blake examined the coffin above him, but the rust made everything blurry.
“There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it, Mr. Gordon, but I can’t be certain until I take a closer look,” replied Blake.
“Okay, then go check it out. If possible, open the coffin and see if there are any treasures in there,” instructed Warren.
Blake jumped and made it high in the air right away. He landed firmly on the coffin.
After that, he used his hand to wipe the dust off the chains. It didn’t take long before the small carving of a dragon’s head showed up. There were some writings beside it, but they were tiny, so he couldn’t read them.
Hence, he held the dragon’s head and carefully turned it because he knew that that had to be the switch.
Creak!
An ear-piercing sound rang, and the coffin began shaking. Seeing that prompted Blake to jump down from the coffin and return to the ground.
Everyone tilted their heads up and looked at the coffin. All they saw was the rust falling out. Strange cipher began shining on the coffin, and it felt as though those ciphers were dangling in the air. Before they knew it, the light blinded their eyes.
Everyone was surprised. Soon, a huge golden net engulfed the entire place as an invisible but heavy pressure constricted everybody’s martial energy.
