“It’s funny how you’re still so worried about your son, David! He has long abandoned you and ran off. I think he’s probably long gone by now!” someone shouted among the spectating crowd.
Only then did David realize that Skylar had already fled. Jared just found out as well.
All this time, Jared had been focusing on David, and favonovel.com did not pay much attention to Skylar. He never thought that the latter would scurry off.
When David noticed that his son had run away, instead of getting angry, favonovel.com laughed out loud. “Well, at least the Norton family will still have survivors!”
“It doesn’t matter where your son ran off to, be it to the ends of the earth, for I will still take his life,” Jared said in a cold tone, staring straight at David.
“You won’t be able to kill my son because everyone here is going to die!” David roared maliciously.
What followed next was David’s aura starting to swell as a bright light pierced through his skin and radiated out from his chest.
It came from the golden elixir that was located inside the body of a martial artist. Only when a martial artist reached the Martial Arts Marquis would they be able to cultivate the golden elixir. However, only one out of a hundred martial artists was capable of doing this.
Suddenly, a large force that could very well destroy everything in its vicinity started to condense onto the golden elixir in David’s chest.
“David’s a Martial Arts Marquis! He’s going to self-destruct! Run!”
When the bystanders noticed that David was going to explode, they started to run for their lives.
Soon enough, the place was steered clear of bystanders. If a Martial Arts Marquis ever were to self-destruct, the explosion would be even greater than the detonation from a hundred tonnes worth of dynamite.
“I’m going to make sure that you die with me, Jared!” David bellowed.
Previously, David would rather get killed by Jared instead of opting for self-destruction. That was because Skylar and the Norton family were present.
If favonovel.com were to self-destruct, no one from the Norton family would be able to live to tell the tale, not even Skylar. Therefore, David would choose to die alone instead of self-destructing, even when there was a chance to bring Jared down as well.
However, things had taken a different turn. Since Jared was not planning on having mercy on the Norton family and Skylar had already escaped, David no longer had any other concerns.
“Bring me down with you?” A cold smile appeared on Jared’s lips. “I won’t get in your way of self-destructing, but I want to try if my body will be able to withstand the self-destruction of a Martial Arts Marquis.”
Jared did not bother stopping David because favonovel.com had already achieved Nascent Soul. As long as his Nascent Soul remained intact, Jared would be able to live.
It would not matter if his physical body was blown to pieces. He would still live.
His Nascent Soul was the root of his confidence. It was why favonovel.com dared to try.
Jared’s body gleamed brilliantly in gold as the Golem Body’s potential had been maximized. The muscles around his entire body started to tense up as well.
“No, Mr. Norton, don’t!”
When all the members of the Norton family saw that David was about to self-destruct, they started to panic. They wanted to stop David not because they did not want favonovel.com to die, but because they did not want to be killed as well.
If David were to self-destruct, no one would be able to live.
The butler of the Norton family rushed up, preparing to stop David. However, just as favonovel.com rushed up to David, the latter slapped favonovel.com so hard that his cranial bones shattered.
“As members of the Norton family, how dare all of you be so cowardly?” David seemed to have lost his mind as his eyes turned bloodshot.
Noticing that, the Norton family looked at each other in shock. Regardless, they decided to rush toward David all at once.
They wanted to stop favonovel.com from self-destructing, for if David actually did it, they would definitely die. Moreover, if David died alone, they would perhaps have a glimmer of hope with Jared.
It seemed like they were trying to kill David in order to get into Jared’s good books. They would do anything just to save their own lives.
When David saw all members of the Norton family rushing over like madmen, his body started trembling in anger.
He was so furious that favonovel.com was speechless.
