“I didn't expect Xander to be so relentless.”
Just as he spoke, Axton gestured with his hands to form a barrier and cover Jared and Xander in it.
By doing so, the explosion from Xander’s detonation would be contained inside the barrier, protecting those who were outside from harm. Or else, an explosion caused by a Martial Arts Grandmaster would definitely kill the crowd en-masse.
However, the barrier had also prevented Jared from escaping. He had no choice but to brace himself for the massive energy surge from the explosion.
As the martial energy within Xander expanded rapidly, his body began to balloon as if it was being inflated by air.
Instead of releasing it, he concentrated his martial energy within his body, causing it to be bizarrely contorted by the swelling.
Unable to speak, all Xander could do was scowl at Jared to express his rage.
Despite Xander's vicious expression, Jared was unfazed. In fact, he seemed to be delighted by his predicament.
“Being fat makes you look adorable.”
Cracking a smile, Jared released a white mist from his body that quickly intertwined with Xander's red mist.
With both their figures enveloped in the mist, no one could see what was going on inside the barrier.
At that moment, Xander was surprised by Jared's lack of fear. After all, a Martial Arts Grandmaster was about to self-destruct which was unheard of within the last century. Furthermore, he was the first Martial Arts Grandmaster forced by Jared into detonating himself.
Initially, he was looking forward to seeing the panic on Jared's face before his death. Much to his disappointment and bewilderment, Jared was filled with excitement instead of fear.
In the midst of his confusion, something even more unbelievable happened. All of a sudden, he felt the energy within his body being drained from him.
