“Jared, I'm right behind you! You've got this!” Flaxseed called out in support.
The cultivators of the vast Caxton Continent all turned their eyes to Jared in disbelief. To them, a Wandering Immortal Realm Level One taking on someone at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Five was unimaginable. Calling it a mismatch was putting it mildly.
Even though Jared had just shown impressive power, the gap between their cultivation levels was still enormous.
“All right then, looks like we're settling this the hard way. Seems like you won't know your place until I put you there!” Braxton said as he stepped forward, unleashing a wave of oppressive energy.
Jared smiled calmly. With a light flick of his hand, he dispelled the crushing aura. He turned to Jemina and said, “Keep a close eye on Jhaelyn. Don't let her run.”
Jared didn't dare assign Flaxseed to that task. He didn't trust him to keep his composure. If he got carried away in front of tens of thousands of people, it'd be a disaster. And judging by Jhaelyn's temper, things would go sideways fast.
Drawing the Dragonslayer Sword, Jared leapt into the sky to meet Braxton head-on. “Come on, make your move,” Jared said with a beckoning gesture.
“Hold on!” Braxton raised a hand. “Jared, if we're going to fight fair, you can't let anyone possess your body. That wouldn't be your own power anymore.”
“No problem,” Jared agreed without hesitation.
He knew Braxton was still shaken by the Vermilion Demon Lord. But Jared had no plans to rely on possession. With the Dragonslayer Sword, the fire unicorn, and the unpredictable Celestial Devourer, he was confident in winning this battle on his own.
“Let's go!” Braxton shouted as he attacked without warning.
Boom!
A thunderous crack ripped through the skies. Braxton's figure blurred across the void, leaving an afterimage behind. In the blink of an eye, he was hovering a hundred feet above Jared's head.
Clasping his hands, spiritual energy swirled around him like molten magma, building into a tremendous force. The clouds above were obliterated within fifty kilometers.
