Chapter 1099Chapter 1099 Up In Flames
As waves of despair swirled within him, an ashen-faced Karl gazed hopelessly at the scene before him.
“How unfilial of you to mobilize your ancestors remains,” Jared scoffed coldly. “What else do you have?
Bring it on!”
“This isn’t over!”
Karl’s eyes bulged. With a final roar, the energy that had been flowing swiftly out of him stopped
instantly. In the next second, his body began to inflate at an alarming rate.
Jared knew at a glance that Karl was about to self-destruct.
The self-destruction of a Martial Arts Grandmaster close to Top Level would be even more forceful than
an aerial bomb! The blast would wipe out all life within a hundred miles radius!
Jared hastened to intercept him. He immediately conjured up another spark of spiritual fire and hurled it
at Karl
His eyes glittering with hatred, Karl did not attempt to dodge it.
Boom!
The spiritual fire engulfed Karl. In an instant, he and everything in his vicinity was set aflame.
Being spiritual fire, mere water cannot put it out.
“Argh!”
The intense blaze caused Karl to scream in agony.However, the swirling aura within him did not diminish in the slightest. It continued to gather as his body
swelled even more.
Jared waved both fists and sent out the Power of Dragons, which caused the spiritual fire to burn even
more fiercely.
He could not allow Karl to pull off his self-destruct, for he was aware that even if it did not kill him, he
would sustain serious injuries.
The air sizzled with the sound of burning flesh.
Karl’s screams grew fainter. Soon, his aura began to diminish.
In the end, he slumped to the ground like a deflated balloon.
As the spiritual fire continued to eat away at Karl, he rolled on the ground in agony.
“Kill me quickly, please,” he moaned, wanting nothing more than to die at that moment.
Jared watched Karl coldly, his gaze distant and cruel. He was never one to show his enemies any
mercy.
Karl soon fell completely silent. Only a blackened body was left behind after the last embers of the
spiritual fire flickered out.
With Karl dead and Gardner Manor reduced to mere rubble, only Pentacarna Tower remained at full
height, surrounded by an imposing aura.
Jared stood before Pentacarna Tower and felt an overwhelming sense of humility.
“What an amazing artifact,” he lamented to himself. “It would be wonderful if I could take it with me.”With such a miraculous building to cultivate in, my progress would probably accelerate at an
unimaginable speed. As they say, “An hour inside the tower is equivalent to a whole day outside.”
Alas, the Pentacarna Tower was too large for Jared to take with him. There was also no way he could
fit it in his Storage Ring.
Having been locked in Pentacarna Tower at night, Jared emerged merely hours later, only to realize
that it was day and three days had already passed.
If that’s the case, a day’s worth of cultivation within the Tower would equate to a month outside!
Sparing another reluctant gaze at Pentacarna Tower, there was nothing for Jared to do except leave to
seek Lizbeth.
I’ll come back here when I get the chance and try to convert this estate into my turf.
By extending his spiritual sense, Jared immediately located Lizbeth and hurried over to her.
She was frantically searching for Joshua at that moment.
“So, what happened to that guy, Jared?” Lizbeth asked urgently at his approach.
“Dead,” Jared said simply.
Lizbeth was not surprised to hear about Karl’s death as she knew he was not a match for Jared at his
current powers.
She huffed, “Urgh! I can’t believe I managed to let that old fellow slip away! I would have killed him
already if it weren’t for his familiarity with the terrain.”
Lizbeth was livid.“He’s only a servant. Let him run,” Jared consoled softly before adding, “We should head back.
Everyone at home must be worried sick that we’ve been here for several days.”novelbin
