Archer did not speak, but Garthor laughed. “Yosef, you’re just a rookie Martial Arts God. We don’t even want you to be an errand boy for Stormwind Sect. We’ll be wasting our time and resources on you!”
Yosef was livid to hear that, but there was nothing he could do. Jared was definitely not someone he could go up against, so how could he possibly risk crossing Garthor?
“Brat, you’re the one who forced me to do this. I’m going to drag you to hell with me!” As he spoke, Yosef crushed the prayer beads in his hands, and rays of holy light shone out of the beads. Yosef recited the scriptures as he stared at the holy light. Soon, blood was seeping out of his forehead.
“Are you trying to use blood essence?” Jared promptly figured out what he was trying to do. Yosef was trying to burn his blood essence to fight him to the death.
However, Jared was not going to give him the chance to do that. If Yosef were to use up all of his blood essences, Jared would not be able to absorb his power.
Thus, Jared swung his hand over. However, a ray of holy light shot out and smacked Jared’s hand to stop him. Still, Jared did not slow down. He grabbed Yosef’s head and channeled Focus Technique to begin absorbing Yosef’s power.
Now, the ascending rays of holy light were moving toward Jared. However, Jared did not even bat a lash at them. The attacks of those holy light rays were akin to a tickle for Jared.
Yosef’s eyes were as wide as saucers as he stared at Jared in fear. In his terror, he slowly turned into a mummified body as Jared absorbed his power. In seconds, he was dead. Those who witnessed the scene drew their brows together.
Murderous intent even flashed past Archer’s eyes. “So this boy is cultivating in Demonic Cultivation. No wonder he’s so powerful despite being only a Martial Arts Saint,” Archer gritted out.
It was obvious that Archer despised Demonic Cultivation. Even Skyler was gloomily staring at Jared. Without a doubt, Luminous Sect had a grudge against Demonic Cultivation, and that was why the two of them became wrathful when they realized Jared was using Demonic Cultivation, Unlike them, Garthor had a complicated look on his frowning face. He was not expecting Jared to absorb Yosef’s power.
Jared could sense the gazes of the others, but he did not spare a glance at them before turning to leave. It was because Jared could sense that they were all Martial Arts Gods despite their relatively young age.
If they were already Martial Arts God at their ages but were not well-known, then they had to come from the reclusive sects. Jared was not familiar with the reclusive sects yet, so he did not want to make an enemy out of them. Yet, just as Jared was about to leave, Garthor spoke. “Stop right there.”
Then, Garthor’s subordinates surrounded Jared. “What do you want?” Jared asked. “Nothing. I’d like to be friends with you. Were you using a technique of Demonic Cultivation. when you absorbed Yosef’s power?” Garthor asked with a smile.
“No comment,” Jared said, warily watching. Garthor. “Hahaha! You don’t need to be so nervous. So what if you did use Demonic Cultivation? Cultivation has always been for the sake of becoming more powerful. Anyone can cast aside their reservations about morality. As long as you’re powerful, who cares what techniques. you’re using?” Garthor uttered with a chuckle before patting Jared’s shoulder.
It seemed like he was trying to get close to Jared, but Jared swiftly dodged his touch. Garthor stiffened, but he did not turn angry. Instead, he continued, “I’m impressed by you. You can come back to Stormwind Sect with me. Someone of your talent will go nowhere if you wander around by yourself.”
“Stormwind Sect?” Jared frowned. He never heard of a sect named Stormwind Sect in the martial arts world.
