The scene featuring six identical Jareds standing together shocked everyone.


    L was the only one who remained unfazed.


    “How dare you try to fool me with such illusions?”


    L was not at all bothered by Jared’s Nine Shadows.


    Jared stayed quiet. He felt that uttering any more words at that moment would be a waste of energy.


    “Break!”


    Jared jumped up, and his clones followed.


    Six simr Jareds floated in midair like gods.


    Then, two shes of dazzling sword energy were unleashed.


    The two strikesbined into one and plunged toward L.


    That stroke of sword energy sliced through the air as if it was ripping the very fabric of space apart.


    zing spiritual fire encased the sword energy.

    Such unnerving sword energy caused many members of the Dunn family to scamper away. Most


    onlookers could not even stand the scorching heat from the spiritual fire on the sword energy.


    Yet, when this fearsome sword energy crashed into L’s aura, a simr scene from before


    appeared.


    The sword energy vanished without a trace right after making contact with the aura, as if it had never


    existed.


    If it weren’t for the residual heat lingering in the atmosphere, no one would have believed Jared had


    cast such terrifying sword energy earlier.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “You are just a Martial Arts Grandmaster. No matter how many magical items you have, they are all


    insignificant before me,” L said calmly.


    With that, he waved his arm at Jared, using his hand as a substitute for a sword.


    A gash of light cut through the aura around him.


    Then, the same frightening sword energy propelled in Jared’s direction.


    Having experienced it once before, Jared had prepared himself this time around.


    He hastily stepped aside and dodged the sword energy. Still, part of the sword energy grazed his back.


    With that, a deep gash was left on Jared’s back.


    A few pieces of golden scales fell off his body and disappeared.


    Jared grimaced as he tumbled from midair. Although he had avoided a direct hit from the sword energy,


    that attack had left him in a pathetic state.


    He stared at L intently, not daring to begin another assault recklessly because his every attempt


    to harm L would only reflect on himself.


    Sensing Jared’s idleness, L snickered at him. “What’s the matter? Is that all you’ve got? I really


    don’t know the source of your confidence just now. It seems like I’ve overestimated you to have wasted


    an energy-constraining pill on you. Still, I couldn’t believe that pill was fake. I’ll settle the score with


    those people sooner orter. Now, if you hand over the draconic essence, I can grant you a swift


    death.”


    “Come and take it yourself if you’re so capable.”


    Jared’s eyes brimmed with fury while a stony expression took over his face.


    “All right!”


    After saying that, L’s figure turned into a blur, and he appeared in front of Jared the next second.


    Before Jared could even make sense of how L suddenly arrived in front of him, he was already


    hit in the chest by thetter.


    Jared was sent flying backward and did note to a halt until he crashed heavily into a stone wall.


    It was evident from the dent on his chest that his ribs had broken.


    His Golem Body was as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of L’s offense.


    That was the difference between a Martial Arts Grandmaster and a Martial Arts Marquis.


    Talent or technique might be sufficient topensate for the difference between sub-ranks or skill


    deficits between two martial artists of the same rank.


    However, the imbnce between ranks was a chasm that could not be crossed.


    Only by bing a Martial Arts Marquis could a martial artist understand andprehend new skills


    and techniques.


    Jared had yet to achieve the rank of Semi Martial Arts Marquis. If he were a Semi Martial Arts Marquis,


    perhaps he would not have ended up in that wretched a state when facing L.


    He picked himself up off the floor with much difficulty. Despite the injuries he sustained, Jared remained


    unyielding and determined.


    He would not admit defeat as long as he lived.


    Seeing Jared standing up again, L could not help but sigh. “You’re so full of potential, yet you


    have the heart of a proud lion. Since you will not allow others to use you, the only thing that awaits you


    is death.”


    With that, he leaped up, and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, L swung the sword


    at Jared’s torso.
