Jared wrapped himself in the clothes, casting a cold gaze at Berthold. Gael’s face was alight with excitement as he laughed. “This young man truly is extraordinarily gifted. He has only reached Fifth Level Tribulator, yet his aura seems no less powerful than that of Berthold. No wonder he refused to run away. Now that the arcane array has already been easily broken, if he wants to leave, who could possibly stop him?”
“Indeed, he’s quite impressive,” Juliet said, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Jared.
“Juliet, such a wonderful man is hard to come by in Ethereal Realm. You must hold onto him,” said Gael.
“Dad, in truth, I’ve already given myself to him.” Juliet’s cheeks flushed.
“What?” Gael was taken aback, studying Juliet closely. “Don’t tell me you’ve already shared a bed with that Jared?”
“I haven’t yet, but he’s seen all there is to see about me. There’s no way I can look for another man now.” Juliet felt a surprising thrill when she recalled the moment Jared saw her naked.
“It seems like destiny brought you two together. Now that you’ve found such a good man, I can rest easy.” Gael laughed.
At that time, Jared had no idea Gael and Juliet had already decided on his marriage partner.
“Do you have any tricks left up your sleeve? If not, I’m afraid I can’t entertain you any longer,” Jared sneered at Berthold.
Berthold scowled grimly.
Initially, he thought becoming an Ultimate Realm cultivator meant dealing with Jared would be easy.
However, even though Jared was only a Fifth Level Tribulator cultivator, his lightning tribulation and the divine light he received later were more powerful than Berthold’s.
The confidence Berthold once exuded was nowhere to be seen.
However, he wouldn’t give up easily. After all, with such a significant difference in their cultivation levels, if Berthold admitted defeat, he might as well never show his face in Ethereal Realm again.
“I have many tricks left!” Berthold unleashed a dark aura, the intensity of which was significantly more potent than when he achieved a breakthrough.
A major cultivation level breakthrough would lead to an exponential increase in strength.
A dark aura coalesced into a sharp, long sword, which Berthold used to strike Jared with all his power.
“Die!” Berthold roared furiously and ferociously.
If he, an Ultimate Realm cultivator, was bullied by a Fifth Level Tribulator cultivator in front of a crowd, he’d be humiliated.
The long black sword cleaved through the void as his Ultimate Realm cultivation level exploded.
With the absence of the arcane array’s obstruction, that terrifying strike filled the entire sky above Violet Flame Sect with overwhelming pressure.
Many of the less powerful disciples from Violet Flame Sect found it unbearable and scattered, seeking refuge in the distance.
Gael and Harlan acted in unison, creating a protective shield to withstand the terrifying pressure.
Juliet was worried as she witnessed Berthold’s attack. “Father, Jared…”
“Don’t worry, Jared will be fine,” Gael assured, already certain of the outcome.
When the terrifying blade reached Jared, he sneered.
In the blink of an eye, a flash of white light appeared. No one saw how Jared made his move.
However, the long blade, forged from the dense black mist, vanished in an instant.
“You…” Berthold was utterly astounded upon seeing how effortlessly Jared had repelled his strike.
At that moment, Berthold’s expression changed as he experienced a grave sense of danger.
That was his most powerful attack, yet Jared crushed it with ease. At the same time, Harlan also noticed the problem and hurriedly exclaimed, “Berthold, retreat quickly!”
Berthold obeyed his father, and with no arcane array to hinder him, he flew into the distance.
However, Jared was quicker, and with a stroke of his Dragonslayer Sword, he landed an attack on Berthold.
