“Eider Keaton!”
The members from Thorne Sect gasped in shock, each wanting to rush forward to help, but Jared coldly swept them with a glance.
“We’re fighting one-on-one. If any of you dare to intervene, then prepare to face death…”
With just a single phrase, the invisible pressure from made the members of the Thorne Sect dare not act recklessly.
With great difficulty, Keaton picked himself up from the ground, his eyes filled with shock and defiance. He hadn’t expected that he, a respected immortal Realm Level Four expert, would be cornered to such an extent by a mere Ultimate Realm Level Three.
And to top it all off, the other party didn’t even use a sword. What a miscalculation on his part. But by now, there was no way to back down.
“Get ready for the third move!” Jared’s voice rang out again, his figure appearing before Keaton like a phantom.
A flicker of despair flashed in the eyes of Keaton. He knew had to give it his all.
A flash of ruthlessness suddenly crossed his eyes.
“I won’t die…” Keaton fiercely bit his tongue, spewing out a mouthful of blood essence.
His hands swiftly formed seals as roared out, “Thorne Sect’s forbidden technique… Soul Devouring Butterflies!”
In an instant, countless black butterflies emerged from his body. Each butterfly carried a heavy aura of death, which then enveloped Keaton’s body.
These black butterflies seemed as if they could devour everything in sight. Even the air appeared to corrode under their presence, resonating with a sizzling sound.
Jared laughed coldly. It was clear that Keaton wanted his fists to be tainted by the terrifying black butterflies. Yet, Jared was not that foolish.
He suddenly swung a punch. But just as his fist was about to reach Keaton’s face, a long sword abruptly appeared out of nowhere.
The Dragonslayer Sword had pierced straight through Keaton’s body. At the same time, those black butterflies were instantly devoured by the sword energy, vanishing into oblivion.
“You… You…” Keaton’s eyes widened, blood gushing from his mouth, his face filled with resentment. “You broke your promise…”
Jared had promised not to use his sword, and allowed Jared three moves. However, for the third move, Jared shamelessly used the Dragonslayer Sword. It was utterly disgraceful.
Had they known this, Keaton would have directly enveloped Jared with his Soul Devouring Butterflies, instead of tainting Jared’s fists with it. It was an unnecessary move.
Jared slowly drew out his Dragonslayer Sword, looking at Keaton whose face was filled with tension. He said, “I’m sorry. I failed to keep my promise. My apologies to you…”
Jared was apologizing to Keaton, and his demeanor was incredibly sincere.
Keaton glared intensely at Jared. His face was a mask of fury as if wished could tear Jared apart with his bare hands.
Regrettably, could no longer hold on. His body slowly collapsed, and in the end, was utterly devoid of breath.
Keaton had died. He was fatally stabbed by Jared’s sword.
“Elder Keaton…” The crowd from the Thorne Sect swarmed around him.
“Jared, you shameless scoundrel! How dare you break your word!” Toben was trembling all over, pointing at Jared and cursing out.
“Didn’t I already apologize? I’m truly sorry. I just couldn’t help but draw my sword earlier. How about we have another round? I promise not to use my sword…” Jared spread his hands out, expressing his helplessness as spoke.
“Shameless! He’s already dead, so what’s the use of an apology?” Toben’s body trembled with rage.
“Otherwise, should I bring back to life?” Jared exclaimed.
“Bring back to life?” Toben was taken aback, looking incredulously at Jared. “You can bring back the dead?”
“It’s simple…”
Jared slowly extended his hand, his palm beginning to radiate an intense heat.
At that moment, everyone was astounded as they looked at Jared, each one holding their breath in shock. They had never seen it before.
Who could possibly kill someone and then bring them back to life?
“He can also resurrect the dead?” Stefan’s interest was piqued. He leapt straight out of the tavern window and positioned himself amidst the crowd.
At that moment, all eyes were focused on Jared.
