Phaethon scoffed, "You're delusional! Who do you think you are? Even if I stand here and let you
punch me, you still won't be able to hurt me!"
Although he appeared unconcerned, he kept counterattacking and backing away. He was baffled
because even though Jared was at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm, the aura he emitted was that at
Ninth Level. That abrupt shift caused Phaethon to lose his grasp on Jared's power level and become
more cautious.
"You aren't as cocky as you appear to be. In fact, you seem rather cool-headed. Unfortunately for you,
you're dead no matter how far you run. You shouldn't have injured Ms.. Tall." Murderous intent swirled
in Jared's eyes..
He put away his Dragonslayer Sword and raised his hands. In an instant, his surroundings turned dark.

palm. Lightning crackled inside the palm. Phaethon looked at the palm in the sky with a frown and
sprinted away. Unfortunately, when the Thunder Palm came down, it hit Phaethon directly.
Boom! In a flash, an immense palm print appeared on the ground, and Phaethon was deeply buried
under it. Thunder Palms continued to rain down from the sky and crash onto Phaethon.
In the end, Phaethon's body was buried over a dozen meters underground. He felt as though all his
bones were broken, and blood was spilling out of his mouth.
Fear crept into his eyes as he didn't expect Jared's Thunder Palm to be that powerful. Phaethon
crawled out of the pit with much effort.
Just as he returned to the surface, he saw Jared aiming Dragonslayer Sword at him. Jared lifted his
blade, closed his eyes, and unleashed an overwhelming aura.
Buzz! A massive amount of spiritual energy poured out from his body and into his weapon, causing
Dragonslayer Sword to tremble.
"Nine Shadows!" Jared roared, recalling how the elder of the Archaic Body cultivators had executed
that technique with his body. He wanted to try the technique for himself.
Soon, shadowy figures appeared behind Jared from the void. They were warriors in robes and holding
swords, just like Jared. All seven of the shadowy figures were emitting the same amount of aura as
Jared.
"Kill!" Jared roared, pointing Dragonslayer Sword at Phaethon. The shadowy figures followed suit,
pointing the tip of their blades at Phaethon. Their combined aura was so overwhelming that Phaethon
felt as if a tsunami was approaching.
"How is this possible? How?" His eyes were filled with fear and rage. He felt his scalp tingle as a sense

I need to run! If I don't, I'm definitely dead! Under everyone's shocked gazes, Phaethon abandoned his
pride and retreated.
He knew he couldn't withstand that attack. After all, if ten Thunder Palms were almost enough to kill
him, that sword attack would most certainly end him.
Jared opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing across them. Three lights exploded from Dragonslayer
Sword.
Boom! The swords in the shadowy figures' grips were already poised to fire. Together, they shot lights
at Phaethon. Ten lights sped across the void like comets and headed straight for Phaethon.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid the attack, Phaethon roared bitterly and conjured fire to form a shield
around him.
