With a thoughtful flicker in eyes, Rosa questioned, “You’re right. Why didn’t the Haverford family handle this themselves?”
“The Haverford family knew that killing me wouldn’t be as easy as they thought. They are aware of the influential people backing me, people they didn’t dare to offend. That’s why they Issued a bounty, hoping others would do their dirty work,” Jared explained.
“ls there someone backing you up? Could It be that the person behind you is even more powerful than the Haverford family?” Isla asked.
Jared’s lips curved into a smirk. “The small Haverford family… Can be wiped out with a flick of my wrist…”
“Stop bluffing! I don’t believe you’ve got someone backing you up. So, who’s this big shot supporting you from behind the scenes?” Isla couldn’t believe It. She was skeptical that an Ultimate Realm Level Three cultivator could possibly have any significant backing.
“I’m my only backer…” Jared pointed to himself and spoke.
“How dare you mess with us? I…” Isla believed that Jared had tricked them, so decided it was time to take matters into own hands and eliminate Jared.
But when was about to make a move, felt an overwhelming aura press upon her.
“You can’t run now!” Evan arrived in a fit of rage, and soon after, threw a punch at Jared and the two sisters.
As a Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine, his punch was filled with an aura capable of destroying the heavens and earth.
Upon witnessing the situation, Rosa and Isla were instantly taken aback, their faces drained of color. But by then, it was already too late for them to think about escaping.
Both of their faces were filled with despair. They knew that today, they were likely unable to escape their fate.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Evan’s body stiffened, and swiftly descended from mid-air.
Evan was seen with his eyes wide open, staring blankly at his own chest.
Unbeknownst to him, a sword had somehow found its way into Evan’s chest.
It was Dragonslayer Sword!
Both sisters were flabbergasted, as they hadn’t seen clearly how the sword was drawn.
Upon witnessing the situation, the two followers behind Evan instantly exuded an intimidating aura, positioning themselves protectively on either side of him.
Both individuals were at the Immortal Realm Level One. Upon witnessing Evan being pierced by a sword, they furrowed their brows in concern. Despite their combined strength, they astonishingly failed to discern how the sword had managed to pierce through their young master’s body.
“Mr. Chance, we are from Thorne Sect. This is our young master of Thorne Sect. We hope you can show some mercy toward him!” One of the cultivators turned to Jared, raising his fist in greeting as spoke.
To have the ability to pierce through Evan’s body with a sword right under their watchful eyes, Jared’s strength could not possibly be just at the Ultimate Realm Level Three as had revealed. Moreover, Evan was at the Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine.
How could possibly be pierced through by a single sword from an Ultimate Realm Level Three cultivator?
The only explanation now was that Jared had concealed his true capabilities.
“Thorne Sect?” Jared shook his head. “Never heard of it!”
Swoosh!
The Dragonslayer Sword had once again returned to Jared’s hand. However, Evan’s body was instantly cleaved in two, his spirit and form completely obliterated. At the same time, the item pouch that Evan had on flew into Jared’s hands.
“Quite the wealthy young master. He sure has a lot of good stuff!” Jared glanced at the item pouch, then turned to the two Thorne Sect cultivators. “I welcome you to seek revenge for your young master…”
The two cultivators from Thorne Sect exchanged a glance, but neither dared to make a move.
The more Jared acted in this way, the more it left these two people feeling uncertain. The two could only fixate their gaze on Jared, their hands tightly clenched, emanating an intimidating aura. However, they did not make a move.
The sword strike they had just experienced left both of them with lingering unease.
The two of them were indeed experts of the Immortal Realm, yet they couldn’t quite perceive how Jared had made his move.
Initially, it was assumed that even if Evan’s skills were no match for Jared, couldn’t possibly be defeated in an instant. As long as the situation was turning bad, they were ready to step in and lend a hand.
Who would have expected for Evan to be instantly defeated by Jared?
At that moment, they finally understood why the Haverford family had offered a bounty of two hundred thousand celestial crystals for the assassination of Jared. This kind of prowess was indeed worth two hundred thousand.
After watching Jared for a moment, the two cultivators from Thorne Sect gradually eased their aura. Then, they lifted Evan’s body, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
