As a result, Rory from Pathfinder Sect also played the role of mayor. After all, Pathfinder Sect was the most influential power in Southedge City.
“Both of you, since you’ve already stepped onto this stage, and that means a fight to the death. No matter who lives or dies, there can be no revenge once you step off this arena.” After Rory finished speaking, he gently waved his hand at one corner of the arena.
In no time, rays of light began to emerge around the arena, enveloping the entire stage.
Buzz!
As the arena was bathed in a radiant glow, the dimension trembled. An arcane array surrounded the entire arena, a precaution designed to shield bystanders from any harm.
“Jared, I didn’t expect you to become a Seventh Level Tribulator, but no matter how rapidly you progress, don’t dream of defeating me.” Aiden’s face was full of confidence.
The aura within him gradually gathered as he unleashed a surge of power.
Behind Aiden, a faint hue of crimson began to emerge. The overwhelming pressure washed over Jared, firmly locking Jared in its grasp like an invisible hand.
Even before making a move, Aiden had already asserted his dominance over Jared.
Yet, Jared stood still. Not a trace of fear could be discerned on his face.
The corners of Aiden’s lips lifted slightly, a hint of mockery spreading across his face as he said, “I’ll have you bleeding right here within ten moves.”
After he finished speaking, Aiden swiftly grasped at the air, and the mist of blood behind him instantly solidified into a longsword.
As Aiden swung the longsword, a swift and ferocious streak of light dashed toward Jared.
Jared effortlessly parried the attack, and before anyone knew it, Dragonslayer Sword had already materialized in his hand.
He shielded himself with Dragonslayer Sword, which let out a dragon’s roar and shattered the incoming light.
Everyone watched in shock and disbelief.
After all, Aiden’s strike carried an immense force. Yet, Jared unexpectedly managed to block it with ease,
Moreover, no one sensed any surge of energy emanating from Jared.
“Could it be that this guy, solely with the strength of his physical body, blocked a strike from an Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator?” Terrence’s face was filled with astonishment.
Although he was aware of Jared’s true strength, which was far greater than what it seemed, and had tried his best to overestimate Jared’s abilities, he never imagined it would be this terrifying.
Seemingly effortlessly, Jared managed to ward off Aiden’s attack with only the strength of his physical body, acting as if he wasn’t engaged in a death match.
Jared watched Aiden calmly, his face devoid of expression, while Dragonslayer Sword resonated with continuous dragon’s roar in his hand.
Aiden furrowed his brows, feeling profoundly shaken as well.
He hadn’t expected that Jared, without unleashing any aura, could block his attack with only the strength of his physical body.
Even Rainier, who had always looked down on Jared and was certain of Jared’s inevitable defeat, was now wide-eyed with disbelief.
At that moment, everyone began to reassess and redefine their understanding of Jared’s abilities.
However, only Jared knew that it wasn’t purely the strength of his physical body that had blocked Aiden’s attack. His body wasn’t yet that formidable.
Jared had harnessed the power of his True Fire Spiritual Body, which was no longer an intangible entity but had already begun to solidify.
Because the True Fire Spiritual Body was essentially a replica of Jared, the strength and aura of the two bodies were identical, which was why no one was able to detect it.
Everyone thought that Jared had simply relied on his physical body to block that one strike from Aiden.
That was the first time Jared had tapped into the power of his True Fire Spiritual Body. Once his True Fire Spiritual Body fully consolidated, Jared’s physical body’s strength would double.
“Brat, take this!” With a cold shout, Aiden suddenly leaped into the air, slashing his longsword down in a fluid motion.
This time, the sword’s light surged wildly, piercing straight into the sky. As the sword descended, it seemed like it would tear open the void.
