Chapter 2236 Icing On A Cake
It went without saying that the leader of Scorching Heaven Sect's powers would grow at a more
exponential rate, seeing as they had always channeled black magic to attain higher levels.
Elgado smiled smugly, feeling the power in his body continuously growing. Suddenly, his body
trembled, and his smile froze on his face!
His expression turned from stunned to incredulous as he looked at Jared, who was wrapped in
tentacles. Fear filled Elgado's eyes.
“How... how is this possible?”
Elgado's body shook, and his power quickly dissipated.
He frantically tried to control the tentacles, wanting to detach them from Jared's body. To his dismay,
the tentacles no longer obeyed his command.
“Ah!”
A burst of flames appeared atop Elgado's palm, and he hurled it at the tentacles.

The flames instantly exploded, and like fireworks, the tentacles were instantly shattered into pieces.
As the tentacles exploded, Jared's figure flickered, and he landed a hard punch on Elgado's body.
The guardian's body was sent flying in a projectile before slamming hard on the ground. His body was
plunged several meters deep underground.
“Jared?”
Emiliano and Avery couldn't believe what they were seeing. Their eyes widened with shock and awe.
"Mr. Chance...” Skyler was overjoyed to see that Jared was all right.
Jared was standing tall, his spirit vigorous, nothing like a person who had just had his powers
absorbed.
Elgado climbed out of the pit, looking at Jared in disbelief.
“H-How did you know to channel powers from Hell's Hand?” he stuttered.
He was stumped beyond words, as Hell's Hand was a secret technique only known to Scorching
Heaven Sect, and yet Jared had mastered it.
"What's so surprising about that? You haven't even seen half the things that I know!” Jared snickered.
"Then again, I really have to thank you for the powers you've channeled into me, as the battle just now
depleted most of my energy. This is like an icing on top of a cake.”
Jared cast a derisive look at Elgado.
The latter grimaced in response. He had wanted to assimilate Jared's powers. However, unexpectedly,
Jared absorbed his powers instead. Fortunately, he reacted fast enough. Otherwise, he would have
been turned into a corpse by then.
“Jared, don't be so smug. Even if I couldn't destroy you with Hell's Hand, I still have other cards up my
sleeves.”
Elgado glared at Jared with anger and hatred festering within.
"Oh, do you think I have none?" Jared asked.
Then, a cold glint flickered across his eyes. He extended his right hand, and Dragonslayer Sword

Right then, Dragonslayer Sword's sword energy soared into the skies. As Jared ascended to Martial
Arts God, his Dragonslayer Sword also increased in powers.
Jared shouted, and Dragonslayer Sword emitted a dazzling light, filling the air with its mighty sword
energy.
A fierce wave of sword energy rushed toward Elgado, sending the latter retreating multiple steps
backward.
Waves and waves of sword energy burst forth and struck down at Elgado, and the guardian
disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
When the smoke cleared, Elgado stood up slowly. His whole body was covered in injuries, with one of
his arms dangling precariously, connected to his body only by a bit of flesh and skin.
Emiliano and Avery turned to look at the guardian in shock and disbelief.
After all, they were pinning all their hopes on Elgado to eradicate Jared. However, now that he had
been injured so badly that he almost lost an arm, it was almost guaranteed that they were doomed.
"An Eighth Level Martial Arts God is truly extraordinary. I'm honestly surprised that you haven't been
killed,” Jared said impassively, holding his Dragonslayer Sword.
Elgado looked at his dangling arm and gritted his teeth. “You're only a newly promoted Martial Arts
God, and yet you dare to hurt me. I will tear you into pieces!”
