Chapter 5216 Leave Me And Run
- A clear metallic ring—sharp as flint striking steel—echoed as the claw struck the shield. Concentric ripples shimmered across the barrier. The impact hammered through Flaxseed’s arms, flipping his stomach and forcing him half a step backward. The attacker chuckled, cold and contemptuous. “A firefly dares rival the moon?” He pressed in, tripling the force behind his claw. Fractures spider-webbed across the once-pristine shield.
- Before those cracks could burst, a golden arc of sword energy whistled in from above, as though a lone star had broken free of the heavens. The black-robed man jerked back, abandoning his assault to dodge the descending glow. Jared followed in that sword energy—Dragonslayer Sword stabbing and sweeping without pause—herding the other two assailants into the melee. “The one you want is me!” the leader snarled at last. A black whip materialized in his hand, writhing like a living serpent. Its barbs glimmered an eerie green—steeped in venom—and it lashed toward Jared’s face with a sound like tearing air.
- Jared refused a direct block. He slipped sideways, his footwork light, almost casual, yet he seemed to become a phantom among the trees. His cloak flickered through branches as he dragged the limp, panting Flaxseed with his left hand and wielded the Dragonslayer Sword in his right. Every few paces he flicked his wrist, releasing a fan of golden energy that forced the whip-wielder to recoil. Behind them, the black-robed leader cracked his venomous whip again and again, transforming it now into a spitting viper, now into a coiling python—each strike cold enough to chill bone.
