Although he had managed to hit Jared, his entire arm felt as if it had been rendered useless. As if it had been scorched by flames, a fiery pain radiated from the palm of his hand.
“F*ck! What kind of armor is this guy wearing? It’s incredibly sturdy, and he even has internal flame protecting him! It seems I can’t engage him in close combat.”
As Aaron felt a burning sensation in his palm, he was certain he couldn’t engage Jared in close combat any longer.
It wasn’t until Jared had been hurled several kilometers away that he managed to steady himself.
“What the f*ck did this guy just drink? His whole being was suddenly exuding an aura that could sway one’s mind!”
Jared was genuinely puzzled. The sudden outburst from Aaron had momentarily left him in a daze, granting the former a window of opportunity, which he took advantage of.
Had it not been for Golem Body and Jared’s tough physical body, that powerful blow just now would have likely caused him severe injuries.
A serious expression surfaced on Jared’s face.
He had been somewhat overconfident earlier, not taking Aaron seriously at all, only to almost fall into Aaron’s trap.
Not only was Aaron well-versed in array craft, but he was also carrying such unique medicine.
“Mr. Vermilion, did you sense that aura just now?” Jared asked Vermilion Demon Lord.
Vermilion Demon Lord was within his consciousness field, and he had just experienced a moment of dizziness earlier. As such, he believed Vermilion Demon Lord must have been aware of it too.
“The dark liquid this guy just drank is likely a poison concocted from the oil of a whale beast. This stuff can make one’s mind sluggish. I’ll admit that I was a bit careless just now, but it won’t happen again. It’d be a great embarrassment for me if I allowed anyone to harm your spiritual sense while I’m present in your consciousness field, wouldn’t it?” Vermilion Demon Lord said.
Upon hearing Vermilion Demon Lord’s words, Jared’s courage surged within him.
Then, employing Blazing Stride, he instantly appeared before Aaron.
Jared gave Aaron a cold, mocking smile as he said, “You sly b*stard, resorting to underhanded tricks. But even with your sneaky tactics, don’t think you can hurt me.”
“I’m aware that you’ve got your precious armor to protect you, brat. But I wonder, just how many of my attacks can it withstand?”
After Aaron finished speaking, he swiftly swung his palm out.
The black palm print, imbued with an odd aura, was heading toward Jared.
This surge of energy instantly flooded into Jared’s body, beginning to influence his consciousness field.
However, within Jared’s consciousness field, Vermilion Demon Lord made a slight gesture, and the aura instantly vanished, leaving Jared completely unaffected.
Staring at the black palm print, Jared subtly shifted his body, effortlessly dodging it.
Aaron was taken aback, but quickly retaliated with a series of palm strikes. However, each one was deftly avoided by Jared, who seemed to be completely unaffected.
“W-What just happened?”
Aaron wore a look of utter confusion, unable to comprehend how Jared was suddenly unaffected.
Jared flashed him a nonchalant smile. “Hmph! You thought you could sway my consciousness, huh? Too bad I’ve already seen through it.”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, brat! We’re in the middle of the ocean here. We’ve lived in these waters for years and have long since become the masters of the sea!” he warned.
After Aaron finished speaking, his fingertips astonishingly began to bleed.
Droplets of blood kept falling from the tips of his ten fingers, spilling into the vast sea below.
Quickly, the sea began to boil, stirring up massive waves. These waves battered the spirit ship so fiercely that it was on the verge of falling apart.
Accompanied by the emergence of dark shadows, ten massive whale beasts leapt out from the surface of the sea.
Every whale beast was as massive as a small hill. The sight of them simultaneously breaching the ocean surface was absolutely breathtaking, as if they were obscuring the sky.
As if their sanity had been impacted, the eyes of these whale beasts lit up in a fiery red, and they unleashed roars that seemed to shake the skies.
No sooner had they surfaced from the water, than they launched an attack on Jared.
The whale beast opened its massive maw, revealing its razor-sharp teeth. It seemed ready to swallow Jared whole.
