Chapter 1456 Everyone Desires Your Death
Zion promptly turned to the crowd. “Listen up, all of you! Jared’s an arrogant and conceited man! If you help me kill him with me, you can take whatever treasure you find here.”
“That’s right! This place belongs to the Deragons! If you help me kill Jared, you can have anything you want from here! Not only that, but once the Trial ends, I’ll let you all come back here again to grab more beast cores! All of you saw the thousands of beast cores outside. There’s practically an endless amount of them!” Edgar exclaimed in a panic.
A handful of the people wavered when they heard his declaration.
While they had no history or bad blood with Jared, no one could resist the temptation of copious treasures.
“Jared deserves to die! He’s arrogant, and he disturbed Jadeborough’s martial arts world! We should kill him together!” Jace was the first to jump out and criticize Jared.
Since Jace used to occupy the top spot on the Sage Leaderboard, his words still carried great power and influence. Additionally, he hated Jared to the bone for taking his spot on the Sage Leaderboard.
There was also the fact that he was mocked and ridiculed by many for his challenge against Jared.
Now that a rare opportunity had presented itself, he was eager to take advantage of it to eliminate Jared and return to his original spot.
Following Jace’s proclamation, many others started chastising Jared and stood with Jace too.
They were undoubtedly driven by greed, but they needed an excuse to depict themselves as being in the right.
Soon, aside from Howard and Astrid, everyone directed their hostility toward Jared.
In an instant, he became everyone’s target.
Edgar laughed maniacally, so much so that tears were on the verge of escaping his eyes when he saw almost everyone siding with him. “Do you see that, Jared? Everyone here desires your death!”
Wrath wasn’t present in Jared’s eyes when he swept his gaze past the crowd. No, his eyes were laden with scorn and sorrow.
“Do you all think you can get what you want by killing me? Foolishness. Sooner or later, all of you will pay the price for your actions today.” His tone was unusually calm.
There wasn’t even a shred of panic in his voice.
“Stop tooting your own horn, Jared. All the people here are members of different sects in Jadeborough’s martial arts world. Do you think you can face the entirety of Jadeborough’s martial arts world by yourself?” Zion smirked, disbelieving Jared was that gutsy.
“Mark my words. If I survive, I’ll kill everyone who dares to attack me today!” Jared glared at the crowd coldly.
When the crowd met his eyes, they trembled.
Edgar laughed again. “What a joke! Do you think you’re skilled enough to go against the entirety of Jadeborough’s martial arts world? Do you realize how much of a clown you sound like right now? It’s hilarious that you believe you’d survive!”
Jared remained silent. The aura surrounding his body swelled as golden light shimmered.
Renee stood behind Jared, looking as though she had accepted her death. At that point, she was ready to follow him to the end of the line.
Shivering, Howard approached them. Even though he was severely injured, he had no intention of backing away from the fight.
Both Renee and Howard remained steadfast behind Jared, ready to face the entirety of Jadeborough’s martial arts world.
Only Astrid was still hesitating, her expression changing incessantly.
In the end, she stepped backward, opting to leave the battle instead of helping either side.
“Kill them!” Zion exclaimed as tens of auras were unleashed toward Jared.
