Chapter 4662 Let Him Off The Hook
A mere Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator had managed to defeat him, an Ultimate Realm Level Eight cultivator, and he had been seriously injured in the process.
It was simply too astonishing that even Jaime, who was standing aside, was left utterly speechless.
Back when Jared was at Ninth Level Tribulator, it was already shocking enough that he could defeat those
at Ultimate Realm Level Four. Now, having just advanced to Ultimate Realm, he could already defeat those at Ultimate Realm Level Eight.
It was just too outrageous. Even the hundreds of soldiers surrounding them were left wide-eyed in disbelief.
They had never met someone who could still emerge victorious in battle despite the huge difference in cultivation level.
Jared gave Rex a cold stare. "Do you concede?"
"F*ck you! If I wasn't injured, there's no way you could have beaten me," Rex roared.
Though he was deeply shocked, he knew he couldn't show any signs of backing down at this moment; otherwise, the hundreds of soldiers would take him lightly.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I can let you go home to recover. Once you're healed, we can have another round. I'll make you kneel before me willingly..."
Jared swiftly retracted the Dragonslayer Sword he held, then turned and walked away.
Rex was stunned. He hadn't expected Jared to let him off the hook, and so readily at that.
Jaime hesitated slightly as he approached Jared. "Mr. Chance..."
Now was the perfect time to get rid of Rex. If they let him go, he would just be a nuisance in the future.
At that moment, Jaime had already wholeheartedly conceded to Jared. Even his manner of address had changed. He no longer viewed Jared as merely a guest.
An Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator was able to defeat an Ultimate Realm Level Eight cultivator. The potential for future accomplishments was immeasurable. Jaime knew that it would be wise to align himself with Jared.
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to defeat him in the future?"
Jared glanced at Jaime and offered him a slight smile.
He knew Jaime was definitely afraid that once Rex recovered from his injuries, he would no longer be a match for him.
However, Jared was well aware of his own situation. Even though he was currently at Ultimate Realm Level One, he had already reached Top Level. Given enough resources, he knew it wouldn't be long before he could advance to Ultimate Realm Level Two.
Once he reached Ultimate Realm Level Two, Rex would be nothing to him. Even if Rex was at his best, he wouldn't stand a chance against him then.
Jared wouldn't engage in a battle he wasn't certain he could win. It was only because he had enough confidence that he let Rex leave.
"Well, it's not that; it's just..."
Jaime didn't quite know how to express himself. He was simply a bit worried.
"Don't worry, even if Rex regains his peak condition, I can easily take him down!"
With a subtle smile, Jared leaped and plunged straight into the vein mine.
Jaime could only sigh. He turned to Rex and said, "Rex, I'm sparing your life today. If you dare to covet this celestial crystal vein mine again, I'll take your life!"
Rex could only watch Jaime's arrogant display, his face flushing red with frustration. However, he dared not say anything further. Leading his men, he turned and left.
Upon seeing Rex depart, Jaime continued to lead his men in guarding the mountaintop, ensuring that no one would dare to exploit the celestial crystal vein mine again.
Jared had assigned Claude to lead the mining efforts, while he himself retreated to a secluded location to cultivate.
With so many celestial crystals, Jared knew he was definitely capable of reaching Ultimate Realm Level
Two.
Meanwhile, Rex, severely injured,
had returned to Beast City with his men. He was so furious that he had coughed up bowls of blood. If he had been an ordinary man instead of a cultivator, he would have surely died from such blood loss.
At that moment, the butler quietly asked, "General Rex, many soldiers have started to secretly desert us,
choosing to join the Giles and Everett families instead. What should we do?"
By now, Rex had lost both of his
sons and was himself injured. A dark
cloud seemed to hang over the entire Buckley Manor, casting a shadow of dread. Many of his subordinates were filled with fear.
QUMS
They were profoundly shocked after witnessing Jared defeat Rex, causing him to spit blood.
