Josephine’s eyes lost their fighting spirit and luster. She knew that in the face of the guard of the fourth level, was powerless.
Octavion was left in utter shock. Given Josephine’s recent performance, knew stood no chance against her. If even Josephine couldn’t break through the fourth level, then certainly didn’t even need to think about it.
“Let me try…” Upon seeing Josephine restrained, Jared was inexplicably filled with anger.
Without a second thought, gripped his Dragonslayer Sword, ready to take action.
“Mr. Chance, let me handle this on your behalf!” Ararat intercepted Jared, then stepped forward, addressing the man in the black robe, “Buddy, you…”
“Get lost!”
With a grand sweep of his arm, the man in the black robe unleashed a terrifying aura that swept toward Ararat.
Upon seeing the situation, Ararat instantly released two flying swords.
The terrifying aura was instantly torn apart by the flying swords, and then it vanished into thin air.
The man in the black robe was momentarily taken aback before heading straight toward Ararat.
Seeing the situation, Ararat also stepped forward, his longsword in hand casting a swath of sword light.
Clang!
As Ararat’s words fell, it was as if the sword light had descended from the heavens.
The man in the black robe scoffed, immediately throwing out a punch.
Boom!
With a sound that was deafening, a terrifying aftershock erupted, spreading in all directions.
In an instant, Jared activated his Golem Body, positioning himself protectively in front of Josephine.
Upon seeing the situation, Zevon swiftly waved his sleeve, immediately dissipating the residual energy.
“Are you okay?” Jared asked, looking toward Josephine.
Jared himself wasn’t sure why, but instinctively positioned himself in front of Josephine, fearing might get hurt.
Upon glancing at Jared, all Josephine did was shake head. She didn’t utter a word.
Upon witnessing this scene, Skylar was filled with unease. He feared that Jared would recognize Josephine beneath the mask. If that were the case, his plan would have been in vain.
The man in the black robe turned to Ararat and asked, “Aren’t you a cultivator from the Ethereal Realm?”
“l was the guard of the second level, not a cultivator from the Ethereal Realm!” Ararat responded.
“Where is the prisoner imprint inside you?” the man in the black robe asked in surprise.
“Mr. Chance got rid of it!” Ararat cast a glance at Jared.
The man in the black robe glanced at Jared, but just chuckled coldly. “Are you trying to fool a toddler? He’s merely in the Ultimate Realm. How could possibly break the prisoner imprint? Even if did manage to break it, could withstand the Heavenly Punishment?”
“You don’t believe me?” said Ararat.
“I don’t believe it,” The man in the black robe shook his head.
“Mr. Chance, doesn‘t believe…” Ararat looked helplessly at Jared.
“Come back here. Let me challenge him. Perhaps then, he’ll believe.” Jared unsheathed his Dragonslayer Sword, taking a step forward.
Looking at Jared, the man in the black robe spoke. “Brat, I’m not like the other guards. I am capable of murder…”
“If you’ve got the guts, then come and kill me!”
After Jared finished speaking, swung his Dragonslayer Sword with all his might.
Accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s roar, the sword light instantly transformed into a massive dragon, charging toward the man in the black robe.
“Hmph!” The black-robed man snorted coldly.
With a gentle wave of his hand, made his move immediately. However, as swung his hand, there was no change in the space around him. The sword light transformed into a colossal dragon, brutally crashing into the man in the black robe.
The black-robed man was sent flying, spitting out fresh blood mid-air before crashed onto the ground.
Skylar and Josephine watched this scene in astonishment.
Both of them were stunned. They couldn’t fathom how Jared managed to send such a formidable guard flying with just a single strike.
Octavion’s eyes widened in shock, and his jaw nearly dropped.
Defeating the fourth-level guard with a single blow… Isn’t that a bit outrageous?
Ararat also had a slight frown, his face full of confusion.
Only Zevon seemed to understand something, subtly lifting his gaze toward the direction above his head.
Possibly, the owner of the Celestial Stairway is going easy on Jared. When I was battling with Jared, my strength was suddenly and severely restricted…
“What’s going on? How did this happen?” the black-robed man asked, taken aback and somewhat at a loss.
