“Jaden, don’t!” William took the initiative to say before Jaden had opened his mouth. “Marcus harbors a sky-grade Bloodline Limit. Even if you are at the fifth-layer of Foundation Establishment Realm level, you are still not equal with him. You have already done great today, and as a father, I’m also satisfied. Not having the position as Patriarch is fine.”
As William said this, his face was calm. It was clear that after being through Jaden’s commotion just now, William’s originally discouraged heart had returned.
“Hahaha!’ Marcus’s loud laugh resounded. His eyes turned red as he fixated on Jaden, “Did you hear that? Even your father doesn’t want you to battle me. So what if you had a fortuitous encounter? So what if your cultivation is higher? You need to understand that you are a waste, and so is your entire family!”
The attendees in the surroundings slightly nodded their heads. If Jaden really did agree to battle Marcus at this moment, then he really would be looking to die. Just as William had said, even if the current Jaden had a higher cultivation level than Marcus, he was still not on par with him. Jaden’s eyes turned icy as he said, “Since you’re delivering yourself to me, then don’t blame me for being impolite. Very good, you better remember your own promise. I agree to battle you!”
As these words were spoken, everyone was dumbstruck, particularly William whose face greatly changed. However, after the attendees, Elders, and Victor’s shock passed, their faces immediately revealed ridicule. This Jaden was indeed arrogant and egotistical. He couldn’t possibly think that having the fifth-layer of Foundation Establishment Realm would be enough to be on par with Marcus! Jaden could not actually think that a Sky-grade Bloodline Limit was just there for decoration! That was simply courting death!
“Hahaha! Jaden, it is you who have said that. Today, I’ll let you see my actual powerl!” As he heard Jaden accepting, Marcus couldn’t contain his joy while completely disregarding the arrogance in Jaden’s tone. He released the aura of his fourth-layer Foundation Establishment Realm, and five golden rays blossomed from the back of his body.
‘Roar!’
A majestic roar exploded forth; a gigantic and ferocious Red Titan figure slowly manifested behind Marcus’s back as it released the pressure of a fifth-grade, Huang ranked Bloodline Limit. As Marcus struck out, he immediately unleashed the full force by channeling his Bloodline Limit.
“Red Titan's Bloody Claw!”
Marcus’s eyes revealed an ominous glint as he slowly took a stance. It was as though his body became a Red Titan. The manifested Red Titan behind his back mimicked his movements exactly. The lofty body of the Titan slowly stopped, a man and a titan, it was as though the two were indistinguishable as they emanated an intense and tyrannical qi. As Marcus struck out, those present immediately erupted. Their faces revealed a great shock.
“It turns out to be this high-tier Martial Skill. According to the legends, this high-tier Martial Skill is the hardest one to practice. Once you have mastered it, the man and Bloodline Limit can synchronize with each other. Furthermore, Marcus possessed the Red Titan Bloodline Limit!”
“This Martial Skill is simply made for Marcus!”
“He was able to comprehend this Martial Skill in just half a month. Possessing a Sky-grade Bloodline Limit is definitely no small matter. Hahaha! At this rate, this waste Jaden will definitely be out of luck.”
“Humph! Jaden is overestimating his own strength. Does he think that he can become number one in the world by just acquiring a fortuitous encounter?”
“Hahaha! Watch as the Young Master Marcus teaches this waste a lesson.”
Suddenly, the present attendees turned passionate. As they looked at Jaden and William, their eyes brimmed with joy for the disaster they expected to occur. They believed that it would only require one move for Marcus’s immense Red Titan to shred Jaden into pieces.
William’s complexion was incomparably pale; his gaze was fixated on this scene. If something went wrong, he planned to use all his strength to intervene. No matter what happened, he couldn’t just watch helplessly as Jaden suffered. Jaden’s face remained the same as he slowly pulled out the Black Meteorite Sword from his waist.
“You’re not going to release your Bloodline Limit?” Marcus licked his lips. It was as if he had turned into a hungry tiger, “Don’t worry, I won’t pull anything like a sneak attack.”
In Marcus’s mind, Jaden would undoubtedly lose. Thus, Marcus was not in a hurry. His current objective was to unceasingly mock Jaden and wipe clean the humiliation he’d received earlier. However, in this moment the words that came from Jaden enraged Marcus so much that he almost spit blood.
“There’s no need for me to use my Bloodline Limit against a trash like you,” Jaden held his Sword and gave an indifferent smile. It was as if Marcus was at the same level as an ant in his eyes.
As the surrounding attendees heard this, they were all flabbergasted. Just how arrogant and egotistical was Jaden? He even dared to insult Marcus!
“You…. you…. You’re courting death!” Marcus was so angry that his entire body trembled, and his face turned red from anger. As he bellowed this, he could no longer contain himself. Killing intent rose from his body, and his figure viciously pounced toward Jaden.
As Marcus’s figure attacked, the Red Titan behind his body followed his movements. If one were to view this from a distance, it would look as if the human and titan had merged together. Brandishing its immense hand in claw shape toward Jaden’s figure, it looked ready to shred him apart. In this instant, the violent brandish caused a strong gale and the titan’s roar shook the heavens.
Jaden’s body suddenly pulled back, his eyes turning incomparably sharp. He couldn’t help but admit that the high-tier Martial Skill Marcus was using could instantly kill a fifth-layer Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator... Even your average sixth-grade Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was simply not his equal. However, in front of Jaden, that was far from enough!
In an instant, Jaden’s eyes suddenly shut tight. Within his heart was a mysterious feeling. The Black Meteorite Sword in Jaden’s hands felt as though it had received a sort of attraction, and suddenly, his body began to tremble, letting out a buzzing sound. Beneath the killing move, Red Titan's Bloody Claw, this sound was exceedingly weak. However, the attendees who were watching this battle were all at the fifth-layer of Foundation Establishment Realm, and they could immediately sense the noise.
“This….” The Second Elder and Third Elder took a deep breath and said in astonishment, “Could it possibly be the legendary ‘One with the Sword’?”
In the moment when the two people’s voices came out, Jaden had already struck out with his Sword. The Sword was aggressive and gracious, domineering and tyrannical. Following this was an explosion of sound like thunder. An ice cold aura suddenly surged throughout the Hall of Conference.
“Heavenly Star Sword Technique!”
When the Sword chopped out, there would be only death; no wound. The killing intent immediately surged.
