A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance)

As time passed, the intensity of the battle between the two escalated. The fluctuations of their spiritual energy surged like tumultuous waves, engulfing the entire mountaintop.

The soldiers around hastily retreated, fearing they might get caught up in this surge of power.

Finally, after a fierce clash, both individuals were simultaneously thrown back, landing heavily on the ground, spitting out blood. They were both seriously injured. Their bodies slid across the ground for some distance before they came to a halt.

Jaime struggled to pull himself up from the ground, then wiped the traces of blood from the corner of his mouth. His gaze remained steadfast as he sneered, "Rex, you were ruthless today, but neither of us won! This battle is just a temporary draw."

Rex also struggled to his feet, his face as pale as paper, with traces of blood on the corner of his mouth. Yet, he still managed a forced smile and said, "Well, it was quite a fight! But this matter is far from over! Our contest has only just begun!"

The two of them locked eyes, each reflecting a deep-seated fury in their gaze.

They knew that even though the battle had come to an end, the real contest had just begun. Their hatred and grudges couldn't be resolved with just one fight.

Upon seeing the situation, the surrounding soldiers rushed forward, each helping their respective generals up. Hundreds of soldiers from both sides eyed each other with hostility, casting a solemn and tense atmosphere over the entire mountaintop.

Jaime and Rex simultaneously retreated, signaling their soldiers to commence the battle.

After all, neither of them could possibly give up this celestial crystal vein mine. Since they had fought to a standstill, it was time to let their subordinates battle it out to determine who was superior.

Just as both sides' soldiers were on the edge of conflict, the atmosphere so tense it was nearly palpable, a cool and resolute voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Hold it right there!"

As everyone followed the sound, they saw that Jared had appeared at some point. His face was calm, but his eyes revealed an undeniable determination.

He walked straight to the frontline where the two armies were confronting each other, and his gaze met Rex's. His tone was calm yet resonated with undeniable authority as he confessed, "Rex, I am the one who killed both your sons."

Those words hit like a thunderbolt out of the blue, stunning everyone present.

Rex's eyes instantly turned crimson as he glared at Jared. It was as if he wanted to tear him to shreds. "What did you say? You killed my sons?"

Rex's voice was hoarse with anger. His aura of murderous intent surged dramatically as if the very air around him was distorted by his rage.

Jared's expression remained

unchanged as he responded,

"Indeed, it was me. He attempted to seize the celestial crystal vein mine. He brought this upon himself."

Rex was so angry that he broke out into laughter. He scrutinized Jared, only to find that he was merely an Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator. This realization only served to fuel his anger further.

"You're just an Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator and you dare to spout off in front of me? Today, I will use your blood to pay tribute to my sons!"

As he spoke, his figure swayed, ready to pounce on Jared.

However, at that moment, Jaime bravely stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Jared.

"Rex, if you want to lay a finger on him, you'll have to get through me first!"

In Jaime's voice, there was an undeniable resolve. He gripped the spear in his hand, ready for the impending battle.

However, Jared turned to Jaime

with a smile and said, "General Jaime, & appreciate your concern, but I'm confident enough to handle an injured Ultimate Realm Level Eight cultivator."

Jaime was momentarily taken aback. He then gave a slight nod and stepped aside.

He was well aware that Jared was a man of hidden depths. Since Jared was so confident, he naturally didn't need to say much.

Hearing that, Rex was even more consumed by rage.

"All right, all right, all right! I shall see what tricks you, an Ultimate Realm Level One brat, have up your sleeve!"

Like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, he charged at Jared, fueled by towering rage and murderous intent.
