Jared chance novel Chapter 6217

"Jared!"

Vivian shot up from deep inside the city lord mansion.

Her white clothes were already soaked and streaked with blood, the stains scattered all over her as the wild wind whipped at her sleeves. She looked like a candle about to go out in the storm, as if she could fall at any second, and yet there was still something all-or-nothing in the way she forced herself forward, a hard kind of resolve that made the sight of her hit that much harder.

Using every last bit of spiritual power she had left, she flew to Jared's side without holding anything back.

She reached out with a faint tremble in her hand and gently caught his sleeve. On that stunning face, the weight of what she'd just come through showed plain enough. Her eyes were rimmed red, and it was obvious she had already fought through a brutal battle.

"Jared, listen to me."

Vivian's voice came fast and low. Her eyes stayed locked on Skylar in the distance, sharp and guarded, as if she feared he might strike without warning. "This man is far stronger than you think. The Jared standing here right now can't fight him head-on.

"Right before you came out of seclusion, the Lord of the Basilica of the Celestial Palace personally made a move to suppress this monster. He was... heavily wounded by a single strike and fled in disgrace. Even the grand warding array of the Celestial Palace was broken by him!"

Jared's pupils tightened, and the impact of that landed hard.

The Lord of the Basilica of the Celestial Palace?

That was one of the true top powerhouses of the Fourteenth Firmament.

His cultivation had long since reached the peak of True Immortal Realm Level Two. He stood at the summit of the Fourteenth Firmament, someone countless cultivators could only look up to, with divine arts and techniques that could reach the heavens and the earth.

And that kind of powerhouse had actually been heavily wounded by Skylar in a single blow, without even the strength to strike back, forced to run for his life in humiliation?

The weight in Jared's chest pressed down even harder.

He had known Skylar's strength would explode after falling onto the demonic path, but he hadn't expected it to rise to this point, far beyond the normal cultivation levels of the celestial realm.

"He obviously reached this level by devouring the spirits and cultivation of countless cultivators. And the demonic aura around him can even corrode the spirit."

Vivian clutched Jared's sleeve tightly, her words rushing out. "Jared, you have to be careful. You absolutely can't be careless, and you definitely can't meet him head-on. We need to find a way to fall back first, then figure out how to break him."

Jared was quiet for a moment.

Then he looked at Vivian's worried face, gave a small nod, and said in a steady voice, "I know."

He was never going to take Skylar lightly.

From the first moment he saw him, Jared had already caught that bottomless presence.

Buried inside the thick demonic aura was a terrifying power that looked capable of crushing anything in its way. Even he had to hold that pressure in view. This was nothing like the Skylar from back then.

Skylar was no longer that beaten cur he had sent running again and again.

The Skylar standing there now really did have the right to face him head-on.

He had the right to challenge him. He even had the right to try to take his life.

So what?

A loser was still a loser.

It didn't matter that he had fallen onto the demonic path or that his cultivation had exploded upward.

In Jared's eyes, he was still that same cheap schemer who only knew how to play dirty.

Jared's gaze settled on Skylar again.

There wasn't a trace of retreat in his eyes. Only a cold will to fight, and a killing intent pressed down so hard it nearly turned solid. The draconic energy around him boiled again, and the Dragonslayer Sword's cry turned sharper and faster.

Skylar took in the sight of Vivian and Jared standing so close without missing a thing.

Something cold flickered through his eyes, along with a streak that vanished almost as soon as it came. Then his smile turned even more mocking, with a clear edge of provocation.

He turned his head and looked at Josephine beside him. His tone came out light and deliberate, his voice pitched just enough for Jared to hear.

"Senior Josephine, see that? That's Jared's woman."

"Oh, and she's not the only one. There are several more down below. They're all guarding the entrance to the hidden chamber, completely devoted to him, crying their eyes out because they're scared something will happen to him."

"Tsk. Jared really does have it good. No matter where he goes, he's got women by his side."
