“Shut up!”
Elgado slammed his palm into Skyler's back, and she immediately spewed a mouthful of blood, herface pale as a sheet.
“Stop!”
Jared's brow furrowed. His eyes filled with a murderous glare.
“Listen to me, young man. You can save the girl's life if you behave; otherwise, she'll die...” Elgadothreatened Jared once again.
Emiliano and Avery were also repulsed by the tactics employed by the guardian. However, given thecurrent situation, there seemed to be no other viable option to rein in Jared.
“All right, I will surrender, but you need to release her!” Jared nodded. The golden dragon beneath himinstantly disappeared, and he landed on the ground.novelbin
As soon as Jared's feet touched the ground, Emiliano's aura burst out, propelling him forward andmaking him vanish from sight. Without giving Jared any time to prepare, Emiliano fiercely struck him inthe back with a powerful palm strike.
The strike was extremely powerful, producing a loud bang as it landed on Jared's back.
The brutal force caused Jared to fly backward, blood spewing from his mouth as he landed on theground.
His rage was palpable as he stared daggers at Emiliano. However, the latter was unfazed and sneered,“Come on, Jared. Get up and fight me again. If you so much as lift a finger, Skyler will die instantly!”

Jared glared at Emiliano, but he didn't dare move. He knew that if he acted now, the guardian wouldsurely kill Skyler. So he stayed put, seething with anger but helpless to act.
Seeing that Jared was too afraid to move, Emiliano laughed in triumph. He immediately leaped into theair and delivered a devastating kick to Jared's abdomen, sending him reeling backward.
Boom!
The impact was devastating. Jared's organs were jolted, and blood continued to pour from his mouth.He was clearly severely injured.
Skyler watched in horror as Jared was brutally beaten, unable to bear the guilt of being the cause of hissuffering. She cried out in despair, “Mr. Chance! Mr. Chance, don't bother about me! Just leave me...”
Even though Skyler begged Jared to fight back, he couldn't ignore her plight. After all, he owed her forsaving his life. He couldn't bear to watch her die!
When Emiliano saw that Jared was too afraid to retaliate, he put down his guard and pounded the latterwith punches and kicks.
Emiliano continued to vent his anger until he tired himself out, leaving Jared severely injured and barelyable to stand.
Elgado tossed Skyler aside and instructed Emiliano, “All right, let's get the Spirit Connecting Fruit anddeal with this guy later.”
Since Jared's injuries were so severe that any skilled warrior could easily finish him off, the guardianwas no longer worried about dealing with the man.
“Okay. We'll finish him off after we split the Spirit Connecting Fruit.” Emiliano nodded in agreement.
Elgado's true motive for preventing Emiliano from killing Jared was to gain possession of the latter'sbody and strength. He knew that by absorbing Jared's power and taking over his body, his own powerwould increase significantly.
However, he couldn't reveal his true intentions at the moment, for fear that Emiliano and Avery wouldbecome suspicious of him.
“Mr. Chance, Mr. Chance... it's all my fault. If I hadn't been captured, you wouldn't be in this situation,”Skyler uttered as she approached Jared, gently wiping away his blood.
Feeling overwhelmed with grief and self-blame, she hated that her weakness had caused so muchtrouble for Jared.
“There's no need to blame yourself, Ms. Loulland. I'm fine. I won't die so easily,” Jared reassured herwith a weak smile.
“Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get away!” Emiliano commanded his men to watchover Jared and Skyler, then trailed after Elgado to the Spirit Connecting Tree, pondering their strategyto acquire the Spirit Connecting Fruit.
