Chapter 163: I Won't Kill You
Jacob was excited!
But Krish was shocked by him!
The way he looked at Jacob changed again.
He felt that Jacob was a monster.
Jacob just made a powerful attack.
Even the Second Elder, a master at the late stage of Divinity Phase, would be seriously injured by it.
Krish had broken through his defense. Therefore, it was impossible for Jacob to just get a mark on his body, even if he was also at the top level of Divinity Phase.
Anyway, Jacob was supposed to get injured.
However, he was not harmed.
No wonder Krish was so stunned.
He added Jacob to his list of the most dangerous people.
Krish felt death approaching.
His claw tore apart Jacob's clothes, but it only left a faint mark on Jacob's chest.
And Jacob's finger was pointing at his heart.
Krish was frightened. He felt that it would pierce through his heart.
Krish immediately dodged. He knew he would not get away from it, so he just tried to avoid being attacked on the critical parts.
Finally, Jacob's finger stabbed at his shoulder.
Krish felt an intense pain from a torn muscle.
He twitched his mouth in pain.
Krish retreated with all his might.
Then he looked at the wound.
Jacob's finger just pierced through his shoulder.
There was a bloody hole the size of an index finger on it.
"How is this possible?"
Jacob and Krish were at the height of one hundred meters and their moves were getting quicker. The virtuosos could barely see their movements. But people of Semi-Divinity Phase could see how they attacked clearly.
They were dumbfounded by what happened, including Yana.
People had been surprised to see that Jacob and Pavilion Master were level pegging. They didn't expect Jacob to have the strength to compete with Mr. Tate.
However, now everyone found it ridiculous.
They didn't feel shock or anger.
They felt ridiculousness.
It was said that he had killed the Third and Fourth Elders. Despite that rumor, he was just a nobody in his twenties. People were astonished by his strength to fight against the Pavilion Master. They felt like dreaming.
Moreover, Jacob had just pierced through Mr. Tate's shoulder. Everyone could not believe their eyes. It was so ridiculous that they subconsciously thought they had got it wrong.
However, it just happened under their eyes. They could only accept the fact.
Krish was still reeling from the shock of the attack.
He had just failed to tear apart Jacob's body. And Jacob pierced through his shoulder. Jacob must outclass him in strength or physical condition.
Krish could not accept either reason.
"Sky-burning Flames!"
Krish did not hesitate. He took a few steps back and roared, regardless of his injured shoulder.
With the roar of fury, a beam of scarlet light burst out of Krish's body.
Just like boiling lava, it vaporized the moisture in the air with the high temperature as it passed.
The temperature instantly rose. People felt like being roasted on the lava in a volcano.
"Gosh..."
Although people of the Pharmacy Pavilion were one hundred meters from them, they felt the heat as soon as the flames appeared.
It felt like the sun was right above their heads to melt them. Everyone gasped in shock and their nerves were intense.
"The Pavilion Master just used his divine power!"
"Is Jacob that terrifying?"
The astonishment on the faces of those experts, who could clearly see the movements in the sky, was more obvious. The Second Elder, an expert of the late stage of Divinity Phase, was the most frightened. He was nearly panicked.
The Pavilion Master had to use divine power to compete against Jacob.
As the current Master of the Pharmacy Pavilion, Krish had higher talent in alchemy than his predecessors. And he was quite productive.
Not only had he refined large quantities of top-grade panaceas, he was also developing new ones.
More importantly, he had spent a lot of energy and precious medicine on lifesaving panaceas, and advances had been made in his research.
Most of these were credited to Krish's divine power.
It required high-quality fire to refine panaceas.
Ordinary flames could only be used to refine average panaceas. Most of the panaceas made by the Pharmacy Pavilion, especially the high-quality ones, were refined with Earth Fire. The Pavilion Master's divine power was fire. And it was a rather special type far superior to Earth Fire.
It made him who he was today.
He had become the Pharmacy Pavilion's Master. Although this name was well-known, people who knew him was more impressed by another title.
Krish Tate was the Pavilion Master.
He was also ...
The God of Fire!
He had flames at his command that could burn everything in the world!
Krish could use his divine power to refine panaceas and kill people!
...
Jacob looked up and saw huge magma-like flames rushing towards him.
His eyes flashed with a trace of worry.
Despite his power, he was influenced by the high temperature.
His body started to heat up.
And he hadn't even got in touch with the flames gushing out of Krish.
Jacob felt that he would get hurt if he fought against the fire with his physical body and touched it.
It was very likely to happen.
Therefore, Jacob made a move.
He stretched out his hands to draw an arc in the air.
A layer of grey light spread out along his hands.
A shield formed by the power of chaos enveloped Jacob.
"Don't worry. I won't kill you!"
Krish shouted. Just like its name "Sky-burning Flames", his movement set a fire around Jacob.
The entire sky seemed to become a sea of fire.
Jacob and Krish were both in it.
The flames were flowing in the sky.
The tide struck Jacob repeatedly.
The sea of fire was about to engulf him.
"But I will kill you!"
In face of the blazing fire, Jacob did not flee after he completed the Shield of Chaos. He sneered and rushed towards Krish and the flames.
In Krish's eyes, Jacob was attempting suicide. Krish curled his lips and showed an evil smile.
Jacob was so powerful that Krish had to apply his divine power. However, Jacob was too arrogant. He didn't know how terrifying this sea of flames was. And he was running directly into it.
'You are too young and impulsive. You will pay the price.'
'And you might not have the chance to turn back.'
Krish was even thinking about how to refine Jacob's body later. He monitored the fire carefully in case that Jacob would be burned to ashes.
The Second Elder's eyes revealed joy when he saw Jacob rashly run into the fire made by the Pavilion Master's divine power.
'Does he think that a shield made by Zhen Qi can withstand the sea of flames?'
Even Zhen Qi would be burnt to ashes in an instant.
With Jacob's strength, he might hold on for a while, but he wouldn't be able to stand so many flames.
Yana frowned slightly.
She didn't believe that Jacob would be so reckless.
Although she didn't have much contact with him, Yana had got to know Jacob since she met him in Mount G.
This person was not impulsive or arrogant.
Was he doing this because he did not know about the strength of Mr. Tate's divine power, or because he was too confident?
Yana didn't know the reason.
She soon figured it out as she saw the movement in the air.
Jacob's figure flashed like a light as he rushed into the sea of flames.
A tidal wave of flames rushed up and slammed into Jacob's Shield of Chaos.
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw this scene.
Unexpectedly, the shield was not burnt to ashes by Pavilion Master's tides of flames.
It wasn't damaged at all.
And Jacob didn't lose speed in the slightest.
The flames hit his shield and stirred up waves of flames. Then they flowed back, like waves breaking against the seashore.
"What?"
The Second Elder gasped as he saw it.
Jacob didn't get hurt.
Yana felt relieved.
Jacob did know what he was doing.
However, in Yana's heart, the image of the Pavilion Master was nearly damaged. She had respected him as a god, an expert that was invincible in alchemy and martial arts around the world.
Yana started to worry about Mr. Tate.
It sounded ridiculous that Jacob was able to defeat the Pavilion Master.
However, Yana had a faint feeling.
Then she had her brows tightly knit.
...
Krish had planned to show mercy to him. He didn't intend to kill Jacob. To his surprise, the tides of flames did not tear apart the grey shield over Jacob.
The horror in his eyes was far more intense than that of the Second Elder's.
Krish operated the sea of fire to make another attack.
"Burn everything!"
Krish shouted.
The scattered flames quickly gathered towards Jacob.
Jacob felt that the temperature got even higher.
He sneered again.
The flames hit the grey shield around him. Jacob didn't dodge.
He was extremely confident in the power of chaos.
It should exceed the flames of Krish's divine power, otherwise, it was unworthy of its name.
Jacob quickened his pace.
In the sea of fire, he was like a grey bolt of lightning.
After a few flashes, Jacob had approached Krish before he noticed.
"Take another punch. Let's see whether you can survive!"
After saying that, Jacob directly threw a punch at Krish.
