Upon seeing Ricky arriving, Niel quickly started shouting, “Captain Ricky, save me!”
He had initially thought that he was going to die, but much to his surprise, Ricky arrived just in time, so he thought he might survive after all.
Ricky looked at the cultivators who had died tragically and Niel, whose legs had been chopped off. He couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
Ricky turned to Jared, his eyes cold as he spoke. “You’ve got some nerve. Not only did you escape from the prison, but you also had the audacity to hurt these people and lay a hand on Mr. Niel!”
Jared merely cast a cold glance at Ricky and said, “This has nothing to do with you. Back off, or you might bring disaster upon yourself. Regarding my escape from prison, someone will naturally provide an explanation for you. I suspect that by now, Claude must have already taken the special release order to the prison.”
“A special release order doesn’t give you the right to break free from prison, let alone harm others!” Ricky roared.
“So, it seems you’re determined to apprehend me.” A murderous aura began to emanate from Jared.
If Ricky continued to insist on a confrontation, then Jared wouldn’t mind taking him down as well.
Ricky was merely at Ultimate Realm Level Four. For Jared, eliminating him would be a piece of cake.
Outside Beast City, Jared was not bound by any restrictions. He could utilize all the power within him, starkly contrasting his situation within Beast City. Inside the city, Jared had to be cautious and discreet in using the power of the beast race.
“Of course. I will capture you!” After Ricky finished speaking, he launched an attack directly toward Jared with a long sword.
Jared watched as Ricky advanced toward him, a glint of icy determination flashing in his eyes.
He shook his head slightly, his voice cold as he said, “Since you have a death wish, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Ricky took the lead, and the dozen or so guards behind him swiftly revealed their weapons and followed suit.
They swiftly dispersed, forming an arcane array, with Jared encircled in the center.
Ricky roared in fury, “There’s no escape for you today!” With that, he swung his long sword, sending a fierce blade of energy slashing toward Jared.
Jared stood his ground, unmoving, as if he didn’t even regard the attack as a threat.
Just as the blade’s energy was about to strike him, he lightly flicked his Dragonslayer Sword, effortlessly diffusing the threatening force.
“Is that all you’ve got?” Jared grinned, revealing a hint of a disdainful smile.
Ricky’s expression darkened. He hadn’t anticipated that Jared would deflect his attack so effortlessly.
As Ricky and his team launched their assault on Jared, Niel discreetly crushed a communication device. It was a distress signal to his family.
Regardless of whether Ricky could defeat Jared, all Niel hoped for was that he could last until his family came to rescue him.
At that moment, Ricky glared at Jared. Then, he bellowed, “Set up the arcane array!”
Upon hearing the command, the guards immediately shifted their formation. Rays of light emanated from them, interconnecting to form a formidable arcane array.
Within the arcane array, the pressure surged immensely, as if a massive mountain was weighing down on Jared.
However, he remained unruffled.
Dragonslayer Sword trembled slightly in his grip, releasing a surge of mighty power.
“Break,” Jared commanded, swinging his Dragonslayer Sword. A brilliant streak of sword light flashed, colliding directly with the arcane array and causing a huge boom.
The arcane array trembled violently, its light flickering unpredictably. However, in just a brief moment, it was shattered by the attack.
Over a dozen guards were sent flying, spitting out fresh blood.
They looked at Jared in shock, their hearts filled with fear.
Ricky was greatly alarmed when he saw the arcane array had been broken. He knew he had underestimated Jared’s strength, but by then, there was no way he could retreat.
He gritted his teeth. Brandishing his long sword once again, he charged toward Jared.
A glint of murderous intent flashed in Jared’s eyes. In a blink, he positioned himself right in front of Ricky.
