A blinding golden flash collided with Elgado's Scorching Heaven Palm, resulting in an ear-splitting sound that tore through the vicinity.
With the explosion of aura, the earth began to shake, and the ground beneath their feet was all ready to come apart at the seams.
Worse still, bits of shattered rocks from the stone walls whisked through every nook and cranny of the place.
The collapse of the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace seemed imminent.
In an instant, the golden beam sent forth by Jared pierced through Elgado's Scorching Heaven Palm before dealing a blow to Elgado himself.
The poor man was sent flying backward in disbelief.
Just when Elgado was lost in his own thoughts, Jared closed the distance between them in a blink of an eye and came face-to-face with him. Jared's speed was way out of Elgado's league.
“W-What?”
Before Elgado could react, Jared already landed a forceful kick on him.
Boom!
Elgado crashed hard into the stone wall, causing rubble to crumble. At that rate, Narcissus Palace was bound to turn to dust.
It was then that Elgado coughed up a mouthful of blood, his aura dissipating rapidly.
As he noticed that Jared was still ambling toward him, his face clouded over.
“Spare me, Jared. I can offer you a wealth of resources in exchange...” he begged for mercy.
“Hmph! You're only a measly guardian of Scorching Heaven Sect. Without acknowledgment from your leader, your word carries no weight! Come to think of it, the power of a Nineth Top Level Martial Arts God inside you might be one of the best resources I could ever find!”
A wretched smirk was etched on Jared's countenance as he spoke. I bet I could become even more powerful once I absorbed all of Elgado's energy!
Judging by Jared's attitude, Elgado knew that there was no way he would be let off the hook. Narrowing his eyes, he voiced, “You think you got me, Jared? Think again. I wouldn't have had the guts to assume the role of Scorching Heaven Sect's guardian if I had no plan B to fall back on, would I?”
As soon as he said his piece, he fished out a relic and crushed it in his hands.
