Chapter 1006 Playing The Same Old Trick
Catching sight of how Jared’s merciless slaughter had taken the lives of almost all of his disciples, Steinar suddenly stopped in his tracks and bellowed, “Listen up, members of the Shalvis family. No one is allowed to run anymore. Stay put with me and kill Jared.”
As soon as his words rang out, many from the Shalvis family brought themselves to a halt. Several of the elder Martial Arts Grandmasters gathered themselves around Steinar.
In the next second, Jared swayed his Dragonslayer Sword, and its energy blasted in every direction like a brewing storm, instantly killing many of the disciples of the Shalvis family.
A burst of golden brilliance that was extremely blinding to the eyes surrounded Jared. Those scales glistening on his body surrounded him like a set of armor.
Stepping on the corpses, Jared, looking like the Harbinger of Death, was instantaneously before Steinar.
Faced with Jared’s appearance, Steinar’s expression soured.
Despite having several Martial Arts Grandmasters beside him for protection, he still felt his heart thumping vigorously.
Yet, he knew running away was no longer an option; he had to fight to his death.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the immense fear deep inside him, Steinar uttered coldly, “Jared, you’ve not only killed my son but even my disciples too. I shall fight to the death with you today!”
Jared, looking expressionless, unhurriedly responded, “You’re unworthy to fight against me. One strike from me will leave you dead immediately.”
As he spoke, an immense aura rose from his entire being. The outburst of spiritual energy soon gathered a strong gust of whirlwind, leaving Steinar and the other members of the Shalvis family feeling their hearts skip a beat.
“Jared, maybe we should talk it out first…” Sensing the burning rage within Jared, Steinar thought it was wiser to compromise.
“What is there for us to f*cking talk about?” Jared snapped and hurled his sword out.
The feeling of the terrifying sword energy was so overwhelming Steinar hurriedly threw himself to the side in an attempt to dodge it.
Unfortunately, Steinar’s efforts were still futile when faced with that massive burst of energy. Multiple cuts were left across his torso, and blood flowed profusely.
Shifting his gaze to the wounds on his body, Steinar scrunched his brows.
“Jared, w-where did your power come from? H-How is it possible that your strike holds such immense power?”
Steinar gaped at Jared in total shock. He thought the latter’s capabilities were almost as good as that of a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster.
From one glance, it’s obvious he’s of a beginner standard. So how did he manage to become so powerful suddenly?
In fact, Steinar had seen many Leap-level Slayers—martial artists capable of battling against opponents of one or two levels above them. But someone like Jared who could leap a few levels was a rare gem, and, without a doubt, Steinar had never come across one before.
“You don’t need to know about that. All you need to know is that you’ll be on your way to meet your son soon!” Jared’s face was cold and indifferent.
“Hmph! Aren’t you getting a little too cocky? Do you think you’re the only one who has such power?” Steinar scoffed.
“What else can you do? Feel free to show me.” Jared glowered at Steinar as though he was looking at someone who was on the brink of death.
Judging from the look in Jared’s eyes, Steinar figured he had no other way out. He stepped backward and roared, “Get in position!”
Upon that, the four Martial Arts Grandmasters of the Shalvis family pulled out their shortsword simultaneously and stabbed it onto the ground forcefully. The next moment, four visibly apparent rays gleam from the weapons.
Alongside the rays of light, an imposing aura descended upon the area.
Following that thrilling pressure laced with murderous intent, an enormous arcane array soon surrounded Jared and Steinar.
At the sight of the arcane array gradually forming, Jared lifted the corner of his lips into a nonchalant smirk.
Steinar has already used this arcane array when dealing with me the other time. But now he wants to play the same trick on me again?
“Don’t you have new tricks? You can’t do anything with me using this formation the last time, and it’ll be the same this time too!” Jared displayed a cold smile as he looked at Steinar.
