Chapter 2227 Live Forever
Skyler nodded. At some point onward, she started to trust Jared's words unconditionally.
Emiliano and the others watched from afar. None of them dared to get closer, and the dragon merely circled the
Spirit Connecting Tree, not attacking any of them.
However, when Jared and Skyler approached closer, it let out a roar as if to stop them from getting near.
Skyler followed closely behind the man, and they finally made their way under the Spirit Connecting Tree.
“Let's go...”
Jared pulled her in and leaped into the air.
At the sight of this, the dragon unleashed a scorching breath at them.
It was so powerful that it shook the air around them. Even Emiliano, who stood hundreds of meters away, could feel
how intense it was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe dragon directed its breath at Jared and Skyler. Seeing this, the man gritted his teeth, and his body glowed with
a golden light. He knew he only had one chance.
Right before the dragon's breath reached Jared, a ray of light shot out from his chest. The draconic essence within
his body exuded the Power of Dragons.
The power from the dragon's breath was instantly neutralized. Jared and Skyler successfully made their way up the
Spirit Connecting Tree and were face-to-face with the dragon.
“Stay here and don't move, Ms. Loulland. I'll deal with the dragon.”
Jared leaped up and ran toward the creature.
However, he jumped on the dragon's head instead of attacking it. He reached out for its horns and finally stood on
its head.
The dragon had surprisingly become docile. It let out a series of noises that made it look as though it was trying to
please Jared.
Skyler couldn't bring herself to believe the sight.
Emiliano and the others were just as shocked as they watched Jared stand on top of the dragon.
A cold smirk appeared on Jared's face as he said to Skyler, “Ms. Loulland, pick all the Spirit Connecting Fruits from
the tree. I'll stop those people over there.”
Once he was done speaking, light emitted from his hands and entered the dragon's body through its horns.
Then, it let out a deafening shriek and headed straight down the Spirit Connecting Tree.
Skyler didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately started to pick the Spirit Connecting Fruits.
Naturally, Emiliano and the others became furious at the sight of this.
“Stop! Those belong to us!”
Burning with rage, Emiliano, Avery, and Elgado rushed toward Skyler.
Jared charged at them as he rode on the dragon. With the dragon's breath, they were sent flying away instantly.
They watched as Skyler picked the Spirit Connecting Fruits one by one, and their eyes turned bloodshot from anger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNevertheless, there was no way they could get closer to her at all since Jared was blocking their path with the
dragon.
The dragon wasn't one of Jared's illusions after all, and it was extremely powerful too.
“Oh, gosh! What should we do? Are we supposed to just watch as they take all the Spirit Connecting Fruits away?”
Emiliano yelled anxiously, but no one dared to step forward to stop Jared.
Skyler was about to collect all the Spirit Connecting Fruit soon, yet no one could stop Jared.
Elgado glared at Jared with a cold look in his eyes. Waves of black mist seemed to fill the air as he did so.
“I know how we can kill the dragon and retrieve the Spirit Connecting Fruits,” he said.
“How?” Avery and Emiliano asked at the same time.
“You'll know in a while.” With that, Elgado turned toward the disciples of Scorching Heaven Sect. “The time for you
to offer yourselves for Scorching Heaven Sect has come. Your spirits will live forever.”
After saying that, he began performing hand seals. Black tendrils appeared from the ground and entangled
themselves on the disciples' bodies.
