Chapter 1010 Backlash
With that, Steinar leaped into the big pit and looked at Jared coldly. “Jared, I bet you didn’t see this plot twist coming. It’s my turn now to deal with you!”
After he was done speaking, Steinar’s body began to shimmer with golden light and there was a mark between his brows that kept blinking.
“You’re a Demonic Cultivator?” Jared frowned.
Steinar did not reply to his question, instead, he sneered. “Today, I will use my Golem Body to clash with you before absorbing all the martial energy from your body for my own use!”
With that remark, Steinar approached Jared.
Jared’s eyes narrowed, and a gleam of golden light flashed across his palm which he then slapped ferociously at Steinar.
Even though Jared was suffering from multiple injuries, he was no sitting duck.
Furthermore, Steinar had actually revealed himself to be a practitioner of Demonic Cultivation. Jared had never expected that the head of the Shalvis family in the dignified martial arts world in Jadeborough would turn out to be practicing Demonic Cultivation that uses evil techniques.
Jared was further puzzled by the fact that Warren, the director of the Warriors Alliance, who stood by not far away, was totally unconcerned about Steinar being a Demonic Cultivator.
After all, at the beginning of the establishment of the Warriors Alliance, it was their mission to eliminate evil and defend the pure path. They had strived to rid the martial arts world of Demonic Cultivation, but now it seemed that there was a secret in the Warriors Alliance.
Steinar dodged Jared’s slap and counterattacked with a slap of his own, slamming his huge palm on Jared’s back, and making him fall forward.
Just as Jared got up, Steinar struck again. This time, he gave the former a kick, causing the faint golden light on Jared’s body to disappear instantly.
“Jared, I know the technique of Golem Body, too. That is how I know where your weaknesses lie.”
Seeing the golden light disappear from Jared’s body, Steinar laughed gleefully.
Then, he pressed down on Jared’s head with one hand, and the mark on his forehead began to flash rapidly. Jared could feel a force entering his body before it started to absorb his spiritual energy.
Feeling the invasion of external forces, Jared’s Focus Technique began to work rapidly, and the force that entered his body was instantly soaked up into his elixir field by the Focus Technique.
Just when Steinar was full of excitement, thinking that he could absorb Jared’s martial energy, he suddenly found that the energy in his body was flowing outward into Jared’s body uncontrollably instead.
It was then that Steinar panicked and tried to remove his hand, but no matter how hard he pulled, his palm seemed to be stuck and he could not budge it at all.
Meanwhile, Jared’s body was like a bottomless pit, relentlessly sucking the martial energy from Steinar. Even the energy that was necessary for Steinar’s body to function soon started flowing out of him like a trickling stream.
Steinar’s body quickly withered, and soon became shriveled and wrinkled as if he had aged rapidly in seconds.
His eyes widened and he glared at Jared incredulously. When he opened his mouth to speak, he found that he could not even utter a word.
In a few short moments, Steinar’s martial energy had disappeared completely, and with the loss of his energy, his breathing stopped as well. Right until he lost consciousness, his eyes were still staring at Jared in shock.
After absorbing Steinar’s martial energy, Jared began to transform it into spiritual energy. The golden light that faded from his body slowly began to appear again.
Standing a short distance away, Warren noticed that there had been no movement for some time. As such, he went over to the pit to take a look inside.
However, just as Warren stretched his head over to the side of the pit, a glowing figure zipped past him. He stepped back hurriedly and saw Jared standing before him, his whole body shining with a golden light, while inside the pit, only Steinar’s wrinkled and shrunken dead body remained.
“So, you’re into Demonic Cultivation as well!”
With just one glance, Warren knew exactly what had transpired.
Steinar’s tragic state was obviously caused by someone absorbing all the martial energy from his body.
