As the two of them were talking, several sudden flashes of light appeared, and with it came martial energy sharp as blades that charged toward them. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Clang! Clang Clang! The bursts of martial energy hit Evangeline and were promptly shattered into pieces. However, her body remained unscathed.
The woman’s body could withstand the attack of a sacred martial arts relic, let alone a few bursts of martial energy. Jared remained in one piece since he was hiding behind Evangeline.
However, Flaxseed was not that lucky. Those bursts of martial energy that originated from a charm cut his body, and blood gushed out of his wounds.
“What the f*ck? There are still charms that haven’t been activated?” he cursed out loud angrily. Seeing the state that he was in, Jared chortled. “What are you laughing at?” Flaxseed pinned him with a withering look.
However, at the sight of Jared remaining unharmed from hiding behind Evangeline, he promptly rushed over to join him. “Mr. Flaxseed, didn’t you say it’s not manly to hide behind a woman?” Jared teased.
Hearing that, Flaxseed immediately protested, “I’m not hiding behind a woman. This is a corpse; she’s not a human, so she can’t be called a woman.”
Instead of replying to him, Jared put his guard up and made his way forward carefully. Both men hid behind Evangeline and inched forward step by step.
Soon, they reached the gate of Skywrath Sect’s ancient ruins, at which Jared stopped because he dared not proceed forward.
“Mr. Flaxseed, where is the charm spell? I won’t be going in even if you insist,” Jared said to Flaxseed. Flaxseed replied, “We don’t have to go in. Our destination is right beside it.”
He then led the other two to a path aside. Soon, a huge boulder covered with symbols Jared did not recognize appeared in their sight. “What is this?” Jared asked.
“This is a charm boulder, and on it is the charm spell,” Flaxseed revealed.
