This energy, akin to a flowing river, was converging toward the Dragonslayer Sword!
Staring at the sword, Skylar was completely stupefied. His pupils contracted as his heart filled with unparalleled terror.
While the Assembly of the Swords Jared just executed was indeed powerful, it was clear that he wasn’t able to reach its maximum strength.
However, this single sword strike, Heaven Splitter, instilled in Skylar a terrifying sense of mortal peril!
By then, Skylar was somewhat dumbfounded and loudly questioned Jared, “Jared, just how many of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s sword techniques do you actually know? Could it be that you’re a direct disciple? These are all their ultimate skills, so there’s no way they would let an outsider like you learn them. When exactly did you learn this in secret?”
“Would you believe me if I told you that I only just learned these sword techniques?” Jared replied with a cold laugh.
Skylar paused for a moment, then seemed to understand. He asked, “Could it be that you already have the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s secret scroll? That’s the reason you saved Judith, isn’t it?”
At this point, Skylar had figured it out. He was
certain that Jared had in his possession the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s secret scroll.
As long as one possessed extraordinary talent, all those sword techniques would manifest in their consciousness field with just a sweep of their spiritual sense across the secret scroll.
Even just by mimicking, one could pick up a few techniques, so it wasn’t entirely impossible for someone like Jared to instantly master an ultimate skill like Assembly of the Swords.
However, he hadn’t managed to unleash its full potential yet.
Skylar was confident that if he got his hands on the secret scroll of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, he could master the sword techniques within it in an instant too!
“Bullsh*t! I’m not as despicable as you think. Judith personally gave me the secret scroll. Enough, I’m done wasting my time arguing with you!”
After Jared finished speaking, he smoothly swung the Dragonslayer Sword down.
Upon seeing the situation, Skylar didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately brought out the cauldron. In an instant, the cauldron burst open, and an endless surge of flame aura danced across the sky!
Jared watched as the perfectly fine cauldron was unexpectedly blown open by Skylar. He was instantly filled with heartache – he had even wanted to snatch it for himself!
“Master, save me!” Skylar was shouting loudly amidst the burst of flames.
Just as Skylar finished speaking, a figure vaguely appeared in the flame aura.
The figure was so indistinct that Jared couldn’t even distinguish their gender.
The moment the figure appeared, Jared felt an unprecedented pressure!
Then, a massive hand was swung toward Jared!
Upon witnessing the situation, Jared’s brows furrowed deeply. Despite his concern, he still directed his sword toward the gigantic palm.
Boom!
As Jared’s sword came slashing down, Skylar was genuinely afraid. Yet, the immense palm easily deflected Jared’s sword strike.
All that was heard was a thunderous crash as the sword energy that Jared had unleashed was shattered into pieces.
With this one blow, Jared realized the power
gap between himself and that figure.
It was clear that the other party had projected themselves there, so it was impossible for them to unleash their full power.
Even so, Jared didn’t stand a chance!
Seeing Jared’s deflated expression and realizing that fact, Skylar was filled with immense joy. He shouted, “Master, kill him! Kill him now…”
Jared held the Dragonslayer Sword, hastily retreating while his complexion turned alarmingly pale.
“Mr. Vermilion, I’m afraid I really need your help this time, or else I’m done for…”
Jared had no other choice but to plead for Vermilion Demon Lord to intervene.
Otherwise, with his limited abilities, he would be easily crushed by Skylar’s master.
“Hahaha, you’ve finally seen the light! Don’t worry, even though this old man is merely an illusory shadow, I’ll make sure his real self will be dealt a severe blow too.”
Chuckling heartily, Vermilion Demon Lord instantly took over Jared’s body.
“Master, don’t hesitate any longer, kill him…”
Skylar was still urging his master on.
But then, the illusory shadow’s voice trembled as it said, “Shut up! That young man carries the aura of a supreme being. We need to run!”
With a sweeping gesture, the phantom hand enveloped Skylar, instantly vanishing amidst the flame aura.
“Damn it, why the hell did he run away? I haven’t even warmed up yet!” Vermilion Demon Lord cursed angrily.
