Chapter 2330
Jared scoffed at his claims and argued, “Stop tooting your own horn. You’re just a pile of bones aftersomeone dumped your body in the ocean.” The old man sputtered furiously, “Y-You insolent child! Youhave no foresight at all. I wouldn’t have bothered helping you if not for your Dragon Vein.”
“If you know about my Dragon Vein, do you know who I am? Who’s my father?” asked Jared. He hopedto get news about his father from the mysterious old man. To his dismay, Ranzoph replied, “It’s goodenough that I can see your Dragon Vein. Why would I know about your father? If I can be revived, I canperhaps use my powers to determine your father’s identity.”
Jared immediately wrote the elderly man off as a clueless person, and he turned his focus to runningfaster. He had just passed the foothills when two strangers blocked his path. Based on their attire,Jared surmised that they were members of a sect from the hidden realm.
Beyond grudges against Flying Star Sect and Stormwind Sect, he had no interactions or knowngrievances with other sects. Hence, when Jared spotted the two sect members, hel thought he couldwalk around them and continue on his way.
The two men stretched out their hands and blocked Jared. The shorter of the two, a man namedRonan, stared at Jared excitedly and muttered, “Lady luck is smiling on us today.” Jared noticedRonan’s nefarious gaze and frowned. He demanded, “Who are you? I don’t believe there is bad bloodbetween us.”
“That’s not important. Yes, we’re not enemies, but Flying Star Sect has offered three years of resourcesfor your head, so don’t even dream of escaping! Now, we can end your life painlessly if you surrender.If you insist on being stubborn, don’t fault us for playing rough.”novelbin
Ronan slowly unsheathed his long sword and stared at Jared greedily as if the latter were a treasure.Jared was stunned and instinctively backed away. He never imagined Wrey would offer such a lucrativereward for his life.
It seems Matthew could not stop them. Luminous Sect can’t afford to antagonize all the sects in thehidden realm, after all!
Jared stared at his two assailants. They were Fifth Level Martial Arts Gods who were hardly worth asecond glance if Jared’s own abilities had not been repressed. Sadly, that was not the case, and Jaredwas in no shape to defeat the two men.
He mulled through his options and concluded that using the Dragonslayer Sword was his best bet. Thesword possessed its own sword spirit and could attack autonomously without Jared’s control.
That was enough to fight one attacker, but it still fell short of overcoming two Fifth Level Martial ArtsGods. “If only Blazing Tiger were here…”
Jared began missing Blazing Tiger. If it was still alive, I wouldn’t feel this scared going against thosetwo men. His lack of action spurred Ronan into waving his sword. The motion unleashed a bright raythat beelined for Jared at a startling speed. Jared gritted his teeth and mustered every bit of his spiritualenergy to protect his body.
Bang! The strike landed on Jared’s body and sent him flying. A bloody wound quickly appeared acrosshis body. “His body is pretty strong. That strike only left him with a wound,” Ronan uttered in wonder.
His taller companion, Grant, whipped out his own sword and said, “Let’s hope his neck isn’t as hardy.We’ll just need to put in a few extra slashes.”
As their words hung in the air, the two men stalked toward Jared with matching, arrogant smirks ontheir faces.
