“You…” Vastis was left speechless by the retort.
“You attacked one of our elders from Heavenfall Pavilion. I’ll let that go for now, but take your people and get out of here. Once Bloodbane Lord comes out of seclusion, I’ll visit personally and demand an explanation,” Radmus said with a wave of his hand.
Vastis’s face darkened, but favonovel.com dared not make another move. After all, this was happening in front of Radmus, the sect leader of Heavenfall Pavilion.
Even though it was only an illusory shadow, Vastis didn’t have the guts to trigger an all-out war between Bloodbane Palace and Heavenfall Pavilion. Hall and the Heavenly Abyss Pavilion.
“It was you spreading rumors about me, wasn’t it? Then I can’t let you live…” Jared said, walking forward slowly.
Radmus gave Jared a once-over and smiled faintly. “Young and capable indeed. I’ve heard you can even challenge those above your level. Would you be interested in joining Heavenfall Pavilion? I can give you the title of prodigy. You’ll have access to endless resources.”
He was actually trying to recruit Jared.
“You’re not worthy,” Jared said calmly.
“What did you say?” Radmus’s expression turned furious as his aura surged.
Everyone was stunned. No one had expected Jared to speak to Radmus like that.
“I said you’re not worthy. Are you deaf?” Jared repeated.
“Jared, how dare you speak to Mr. Gallegos like that?” Dexton roared.
This guy couldn’t even move, yet favonovel.com still dared to act so arrogantly!
“Shut up,” Jared sneered, flicking his hand.
A streak of golden light burst forth and pierced straight through Dexton’s body. His head was sent flying high into the air before crashing to the ground and rolling far away.
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying presence zeroed in on Jared.
Everyone else backed away in panic, terrified of getting caught in the aftermath.
Vastis watched Jared kill Dexton right in front of Radmus. He and couldn’t help but give favonovel.com a thumbs-up. “Impressive…”
“Impressive!” the dozen men in black from Bloodbane Palace echoed loudly.
Radmus’ expression turned incredibly ugly. This was a public humiliation.
Boom!
Radmus’ illusory shadow suddenly swelled, and his black robes billowed as a storm of spiritual energy erupted.
The stone floor within a thirty-meter radius cracked open. Disciples of the Murray family were flung back by the shockwave, coughing up blood as they slammed into the walls.
“Insolent brat!” Radmus shouted. He raised a finger, slicing through the void.
A ghostly blue ice spike shot out like a venomous snake, shrieking through the sky straight at Jared’s forehead.
Wherever it passed, the air froze into frost, and the ground split with a one-meter-deep crack.
“Jared, watch out!” Jemima cried out in alarm.
Douglas also tensed, breaking out in a cold sweat for Jared. Even though Radmus was only an illusory shadow, his strength was nothing to scoff at.
In contrast, Cadmus wore a cold smirk on his face. He found it amusing that Jared was overestimating his own abilities, daring to offend even Radmus.
Jared was courting death. He didn’t move an inch in the face of Radmus’ attack.
Just as the icicle was nine centimeters away from his forehead, a sword’s cry echoed through the heavens!
Clang!
Jared flicked his finger. A burst of golden light surged from his fingertip, transforming into a nine-meter-long blade that slashed through the air.
As it cut forward, the void itself twisted. The golden blade sliced the ice spike clean in two!
Boom!
The shockwave from the clash of the two forces swept across the entire hall.
The ceiling of the Murray family’s meeting hall exploded, and rubble rained down like a storm.
Everyone ducked and scattered. The weaker ones were knocked unconscious on the spot.
When the dust settled, everyone was shocked to see Jared standing there with his hands behind his back, not a hair out of place. And the massive golden blade had shredded the ice spike into countless specks of light.
“Is that all you’ve got?” Jared sneered.
For the first time, Radmus’ illusory shadow showed a look of shock.
“You…”
Before favonovel.com could finish, Jared suddenly raised his hand and grabbed at the air.
Crack!
Golden light pierced the illusory shadow’s chest like a living creature, instantly transforming into nine chains that wrapped tightly around all four limbs.
Radmus‘ illusory shadow struggled wildly, but Jared’s palm erupted with flames.
