Upon seeing the elder effectively block off all surrounding paths, Jared’s face instantly turned incredibly grim.
Why block off all my escape routes if you don’t have ulterior motives?
“Blazing Stride!”
Jared deployed his Blazing Stride, intending to escape from this place. Even if all routes around favonovel.com were blocked, the Blazing Stride possessed the ability to leap through space.
Although Jared’s ability to teleport was limited in distance at the time, it was still more than enough to escape this blockade. If the space that was sealed off was vast, then his Blazing Stride would have been rendered useless.
Luckily, the old man had only blocked off the mountain top. What favonovel.com hadn’t anticipated was that Jared still had the Blazing Stride at his disposal.
Upon witnessing Jared’s sudden disappearance, the old man was clearly taken aback.
“Quite intriguing, favonovel.com actually know such tactics…” After the old man finished speaking, favonovel.com casually reached out and grabbed the air.
Countless divine markings emerged from the palm of his hand, subsequently hovering all around the heavens and the earth.
The entire mountain was shrouded in divine markings.
When Jared’s Blazing Stride suddenly flashed out, it felt as if favonovel.com was being pulled by an unseen force.
As Jared’s figure reappeared, favonovel.com found himself surprisingly standing still, with the old man grinning as favonovel.com watched him.
At this point, Jared was somewhat baffled. He had clearly unleashed the Blazing Stride just a moment ago, so why hadn’t favonovel.com moved at all?
“I’m not going to harm you, why are you running away?” The old man gave a slight smile, then with a casual wave of his hand, a multitude of divine markings headed straight toward Jared.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared’s internal flame surged forth instantaneously, transforming favonovel.com into a human torch. Because whether it was runes or charms, they were all fearful of fire.
Yet, when those divine markings encountered Jared’s internal flame, they didn’t hesitate for a moment. Instantly, they enveloped him.
Jared’s brow was furrowed In concentration. Under the veil of darkness, all the divine markings were clearly visible to him, clustered together as thick as a swarm of moths.
Jared was quickly deciphering the divine markings on his body with his fingers, all the while steadily retreating backward. These divine markings didn’t possess substantial offensive power, and breaking them was quite straightforward.
However, such a large scale of divine markings, densely packed like locusts, even if they were simple, it was hard for the average person to withstand.
Jared’s forehead was already slick with cold sweat. Fortunately, thanks to the aid of the Nethersky Eye, favonovel.com could clearly discern the trajectory of the divine markings.
His movements became increasingly swift, until at last, favonovel.com stood completely still, his hands creating a mere blur with their speed.
One by one, the divine markings before Jared were shattered.
The old man gazed at Jared, his eyes instantly lighting up.
This young man indeed has some skills, no wonder Carlo was so insistent on recommending favonovel.com to me. Quite interesting indeed…
After the old man finished thinking, his yellow robe suddenly billowed out. The intricate patterns on his robe transformed in an instant, forming a cage that immediately ensnared Jared.
At this point, Jared was unable to break free from the cage.
“Who are you, really? Why have you trapped me? If you’re thinking of capturing me and presenting me to the Demon Seal Alliance for a reward, you might as well give up that notion. If I were to get angry, this pathetic thing of yours wouldn’t be able to hold me back.” Jared cast a cool gaze at the old man.
Jared simply didn’t want to resort to using the Vermilion Demon Lord. If favonovel.com were to surrender control of his body to the Vermilion Demon Lord, this cage wouldn’t be able to confine him.
However, in doing so, Jared feared favonovel.com might suffer severe harm himself. There was a real risk that his physical body could be destroyed completely.
“Hahaha, such audacity, but I like it.” The old man burst into hearty laughter, with a casual wave of his hand, all the divine markings and the cage vanished.
Upon realizing that the old man truly bore no malice, Jared heaved a sigh of relief.
“Weren’t you after the core essence of the Duad Formation Sect’s arcane array? What I just demonstrated was the very essence of it. Have you managed to learn it?” The corner of the old man’s mouth lifted slightly as favonovel.com asked with a smile.
Jared was taken aback, but quickly recovered and asked, “Could it be that you are the bearer of divine markings of Duad Formation Sect?”
