Chapter 1544 Different Lineage
“Do you want to escape?” Arthur asked softly, seemingly knowing what Gilbert was thinking. Gilbert remained silent,
but how he was presently reminded him of how Jared was a moment ago.
He had asked Jared the same question a while ago, and now he was in the same situation. With his teeth clenched,
he turned to flee, converging all his martial energy to his feet to push his speed to the limit.

World Bee Day: Why are they so important?
I will escape and never return to Jadeborough. I’ve been in a dungeon and have not felt the sun on my face for
twenty years. Now that I am out, today will definitely not be my last day on earth. I have not enjoyed my time
outside yet!
Gilbert was quick and disappeared in a flash, but Arthur did not seem alarmed. “Are you not going after him?” Jared
asked quietly.

“He can run, but he can’t hide.” Arthur vanished after finishing his sentence. Jared gaped, slack-jawed.
He had not officially seen Arthur in action before, and now he finally understood why Jadeborough’s martial arts
world was wary of him.
When Gilbert was a safe distance away, he glanced over his shoulder and blew out a relieved sigh after noticing
Arthur was nowhere to be seen behind him.
“F*ck, that was nuts…” He clapped a hand to his chest. Immediately after exhaling, he felt a gust of wind behind
him. As he looked back, Arthur was already standing behind him. He staggered in shock and almost tripped.
“You have nowhere to go,” Arthur stated while crossing his hands behind his back. Gilbert’s eyes were filled with
terror when he realized Arthur’s legs were not moving, indicating that he was not running but flying. He was
actually flying.
Gilbert came to a halt and admitted defeat, falling to his knees before Arthur with a thud. “Please let me go, Mr.
Sanders. I will keep a low profile and never show myself again!” he pleaded.
Arthur looked at him and scoffed, “Save your breath. You must die, or Jared will not be able to regain his abilities.”
Gilbert stilled, unable to make sense of what he said. “Jared’s blood essence has been completely depleted, and his
elixir field is sealed. He is useless now as he has lost his ability to cultivate. Killing me will not get back his abilities.”
Arthur shook his head. “Who says one can’t recover after depleting one’s blood essence? He will be back on his
feet after he absorbs your powers.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGilbert finally understood Arthur wanted Jared to absorb his powers, the powers he had meticulously cultivated for
ten years to attain the cultivation level of Top Level Martial Arts Marquis. How could he allow someone to take his
powers?
“No!” Gilbert roared at the sky as he concentrated all his martial energy in his hands, ready to fight anyone who
would dare take his powers.
Arthur stared at the crazed Gilbert and slapped him viciously, shattering the magecraft he had mustered.
Gilbert did not stand a chance against Arthur, but still, he tried to summon his martial energy to fight back until
Arthur grabbed him by the collar and hurled him in the air effortlessly.
All of his martial energy scattered in that split second, unable to be mustered again.
Arthur swiftly returned to Jared after seizing Gilbert.
Jared’s perception of Arthur shifted after witnessing him manhandling Gilbert, a Demonic Cultivator, with such ease.
Arthur flung Gilbert in front of him, and Gilbert, who had smugly stepped on Jared’s head a moment ago, lay
motionless on the ground.
“You will regain your strength after absorbing his powers. Expending your blood essence will still have detrimental
side effects even if you have a different lineage than others, so quit doing it in the future,” Arthur chastised Jared.
Jared eyed him in curiosity. How did Mr. Sanders know that my lineage was different? Nevertheless, he did not
question Arthur out loud.
