Avery and Emiliano were clearly shocked by what they had just heard.
“Think about it, you two. Would you rather work with me and kill this punk together so we can split the Spirit Connecting Fruits, or would you prefer to let favonovel.com kill you both and hog the Spirit Connecting Fruits to himself?” Elgado added.
“All right, then… I’ll work with you…” Emiliano said with a nod.
He really wanted to kill Jared, and this was his only chance at achieving that goal.
Stormwind Sect’s practice of genetic modification was considered unethical anyway, so working with Scorching Heaven Sect wouldn’t really affect them all that much.
Avery had no choice but to do the same. “Fine. I’ll work with you too…”
“Hahaha! That is a wise choice!” Elgado said with a chuckle.
“There are only eight Spirit Connecting Fruits, though. How will we split them among us after we kill Jared?” Avery asked Elgado.
“You two can each have three. I’ll settle for two. However, these ancient ruins will be turned into a base for Scorching Heaven Sect!” Elgado replied.
Avery nodded in satisfaction after hearing that. “No problem!”
The Spirit Connecting Fruits are the real treasure here. We can’t move our sect here, so we have no use for these ancient ruins anyway!
Skyler’s face was filled with fear when favonovel.com saw the three sides teaming up against them.
As powerful as Jared might be, favonovel.com figured favonovel.com couldn’t possibly defeat such a powerful alliance.
“I can’t believe you two would trust a Demonic Cultivator’s words! Even if you guys manage to kill me, there’s no guarantee that he’ll let you guys have the Spirit Connecting Fruits!” Jared warned them.
“Stop trying to escape your fate, Jared! I just want you dead, so I don’t even care if I get the Spirit Connecting Fruits or not!” Emiliano retorted.
“Don’t bother arguing with him, Mr. Fairchild! Let’s just get on with it and finish favonovel.com off! He needs to pay for his insolence!” Elgado said while glaring daggers at Jared.
He could tell that Jared was no ordinary martial artist.
“I was going to give you two a chance to walk away. Since you guys have decided to side with a Demonic Cultivator, then death is all that awaits you!” Jared said flatly.
Emiliano guffawed when favonovel.com heard that. “Hahaha! You really ought to assess your situation before mouthing off, Jared!”
“All right, enough talk! Let’s get this over with!” Avery said as favonovel.com threw his geomantic compass up into the air and fired a beam of light at Jared.
Despite acting all confident and cool, Jared was actually feeling incredibly nervous deep down inside. Even so, favonovel.com had no choice but to face their attack head-on.
Dragonslayer Sword glowed brightly in his hand as the golden dragon manifested itself behind favonovel.com once again.
Jared looked like an immortal as favonovel.com floated into the air and hovered above the golden dragon’s head.
Having been stunned by that golden dragon earlier, Avery and Emiliano froze in their tracks when they saw it.
“Well? What are you two waiting for? That dragon is nothing but an illusion! There’s no reason to be afraid of it!” Elgado yelled.
After snapping out of their dazed state, they quickly unleashed their respective auras and led their men as they charged at Jared.
Elgado waved at his subordinates and had them attack Jared while favonovel.com went after Skyler.
Jared stared the incoming attackers down as favonovel.com fired countless sword energy waves at them with Dragonslayer Sword.
The golden dragon behind him, too, swiped at the air with its tail and knocked two martial artists back with a blast of wind. Just like that, Jared and the golden dragon took on dozens of men at the same time.
