"Malevolent Path Hall!"Ferdinand's face drained of color. "How did you track our every move?"A coarse, mocking laugh rolled across the ravine. "Ferdinand, you can pose that question to the Ferryman himself once you're dead."At the summit of the cliff, a lone figure began to appear. It was Bennett.Blood mist covered his body. His crimson eyes stared at Jared."So you're Jared Chance?" Bennett licked his lips with greed."The Golden Dragon Bloodline is a heavenly treasure. I'm taking it today!""Kill everyone except Jared! I want him alive!" Bennett waved his hand."Kill them!"More than a thousand demonic cultivators shrieked as one.They rushed toward the convoy together with the malicious spirits from the array."Defensive array!" Ferdinand barked, driving his staff into the ground so hard the earth rang."Earth Fire Mystic Array!"The remaining ten disciples quickly formed an array. A red shield appeared to protect the three carriages.The shield was dimmer than before since the fight with the Flame Dragon and Ferdinand was badly injured. The Earthfire Pavilion was not in good shape.Jared, Vermilion Demon Lord, and the remaining escorts gathered outside the red shield, bracing for the first impact.A raspy cackle cut the wind. "A nobody dares to stop me?"Three enforcers at Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Seven attacked Jared. One wielded a bone staff, one had a Blood Cry Sword, and one held a Ghost Flag.The bone staff unleashed thousands of bone spikes.The Blood Cry Sword sliced through the air.The Ghost Flag waved to summon a dozens of malicious spirits.Jared's gaze turned cold, and he took out his Dragonslayer Sword. Clank!A chaotic sword energy shot toward the sky.The grey sword energy crushed the bone spikes, Blood Cry Sword, and the malicious spirits.The three enforcers from the Malevolent Path Hall cried in agony and collapsed. One of them had his shoulder severed by the sword energy and lost an arm. Blood spurted from the wound."A marvelous sword! It will be mine, too!" Bennett's eyes flashed in excitement.He decided to attack.He turned into a crimson phantom and traveled through a few hundred yards. A huge blood hand formed on the sky and rushed toward Jared.It was an attack from a cultivator at the Top Level Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Eight.Jared countered the attack with the Dragonslayer Sword. The grey sword energy clashed with the huge blood hand.Boom!A terrifying energy burst outward. Several cultivators from the Malevolent Path Hall was hit badly. They spat blood from their mouth.Jared staggered back seven steps. He swallowed back the blood that was rising from his stomach.Bennett retreated three steps, surprise flickering across his face. "You withstand my strike even wounded? No wonder Blackwind Gorge fell to you."His smile sharpened. "But this is where your story ends."He wove an intricate seal. "Endless Blood Sea! Ten Thousand Ghosts, converge!"Blood mist roared from his body, flooding half the ravine until the place ran red.Within the crimson tide, countless ghastly faces surfaced, screaming, then surged toward Jared in a single, ravenous wave.This was Bennett's most famous attack, Blood Ghost Domain. The blood would corrode the flesh, while the ghosts would devour the soul.Jared drew one steady breath. Hiding his bloodline any further was suicide.His fingers pointed toward the center of his brows. "Dragon Soul awakens!"Roar!The dragon's roar did not came from Jared's body, but from the Dragonslayer Sword.Dragonslayer quivered so violently that the steel itself seemed to breathe. Ancient dragon runes crawled across the blade like motten gold, then peeled away as afive clawed golden dragone 19freeIt was smaller than the one Jared had summoned before, yet stillcrowned with unmistakable dragon's power. The Dragonslayer Sword had slain dragons, so the dragon souls remained in the sword.The dragon souls were awakened by the Golden Dragon Bloodline, boosting the power.The Golden Dragon coiled above Jared's head, jaws yawning wide. A torrent of gold dragon breath burst outward and slammed into the onrushing crimson ocean. The hiss sliced through the ravine.The dragon breath clashed with the blood sea emitting sharp noises and blood mist.The ghosts vanished when they touched the dragon breath."What? You still can summon the Golden Dragon!"Bennett was shocked.Jared offered no answer. He slashed with the Dragonslayer Sword. "Dragonslayer— Starbreaker!"The golden dragon soul, combined with the sword energy, turned into a hundred yards of golden grey sword energy and tore through the blood sea toward Bennett. Bennett bellowed and formed a blood shield before him.Clank!The metal clanking sound echoedthrough the ravine. A deep cracketformed on the blood shield Bennett flew back while blood trickled from his lips. He was badly injured. However, Jared was not any better.After summoning the Golden Dragon twice, his celestial energy was depletedmassively.His face was very pale. His hand gripping the sword trembled."Jared, are you okay?"Lindsay saw everything and was worried.She tried to leave the red shield, but Elliot grabbed her tightly. "Lindsay, no!" hehissed. "Stay here! The outside's a slaughterhouse!"noveldrama"But Jared-" She fought his grip."He's powerful enough," Elliot shot back, tightening his hold. "He'll find a way."Even as he spoke, a flicker of sinister delight crossed Elliot's eyes. If Jared died here, his hands would stay clean.
