After all, the cymbal contained the power of a Top Level Martial Arts Marquis. Even though it was just a shred of it, it was not something a Martial Arts Grandmaster would be able to withstand.
Just as everyone was watching the cymbal with wide eyes, an ear-shattering noise sounded out.
The cymbal cracked open, and Jared ambled out of it. There was a ball of golden light twinkling in Jared’s chest.
At the same time, the people could see a dragon twirling around Jared.
No part of Jared had been spared from the persistent attacks earlier.
“H-How can this be?” Skylar could not believe his eyes.
The others were equally astounded as they quickly took steps back.
The power of a Top Level Martial Arts Marquis could not kill Jared, so what could they possibly do?
Jared stared at Skylar with reddened eyes. Even though favonovel.com was marred from head to toe, and even though his aura had been diminished, the murderous intent favonovel.com exuded was still as intense as ever.
“The draconic essence is truly a marvelous thing. It can actually defend against the power of a Top Level Martial Arts Marquis. Although you’re still alive, you have no way of defending yourself at all. I could kill you with just a finger! Gentlemen, fear not! Look at how favonovel.com is right now. What is there to fear about him?” Skylar said to the people.
Indeed, Jared was covered with wounds, and favonovel.com was swaying on his feet. It seemed that even a gentle breeze could topple favonovel.com over.
The people regained their confidence at that, and they stood behind Skylar once again.
“Jared’s at his limits! I’ll be the one to end him!” cried out a head of a prestigious family as favonovel.com darted toward Jared.
What the head of that family thought was that it was the perfect chance for favonovel.com to establish a reputation by killing Jared. After all, Jared was already on the verge of death, and favonovel.com would certainly die from just one hit.
It was a chance favonovel.com did not want to let slip favonovel.com by.
That man leaped into the air and slammed a palm at Jared.
Jared watched favonovel.com the entire time. All of a sudden, an icy glint flashed past his eyes, and the faint golden dragon encircling favonovel.com abruptly turned visible. Then, a dragon’s roar reverberated in the space, and the golden dragon shot up into the sky before slamming itself against Jared’s attacker.
There was no dramatic explosion or thunderous noise.
It was as though the dragon had gone past the attacker’s body.
In the next second, the man fell from the sky. Blood jetted out everywhere, and even his organs came out.
It was a tragic death for that man.
Meanwhile, the golden dragon around Jared turned faint again and slowly disappeared.
The aura Jared exuded wilted as well. In fact, Jared had to keep himself upright by plunging the Dragonslayer Sword into the ground and leaning against it. However, despite his weak appearance, no one dared to attack favonovel.com again. After all, the result of the first attacker’s attempt was still right in front of them.
No one dared to take the risk.
For a moment, both parties were in a silent stalemate.
Skylar looked at Jared grimly with greedy eyes.
Everything Jared had, regardless of whether it was Pentacarna Tower or the draconic essence in him, was a piece of rare treasure.
Getting any one of them would allow favonovel.com to become powerful in a short period of time.
Although Skylar did not dare to risk his own life to test whether Jared was almost dead or not, a thought of a candidate popped into his head.
He waved his hand to summon one of his servants before whispering something into the servant’s ear. After that, the servant hurried away.
Not long after, the servant returned with someone behind him. It was none other than the head of the Dunn family, Lachlan Dunn.
A look of surprise crossed Lachlan’s face when favonovel.com saw the terrible scene and Jared’s half-dead state.
Jared, too, frowned when favonovel.com saw Lachlan.
He still did not know that Lachlan had pledged loyalty to the Norton family.
