Chapter 2639 No Chance To Retaliate
News of Jared and BIlius' duel quickly spread throughout the entire Emerald Cauldron Sect, attracting
even the disciples from the outer circle to come and witness the event.
The duel stage was situated between the borders of the inner and outer courts, allowing the disciples
from the outer circle to observe and learn from the battle.
As they arrived at the arena, Ghaylen and Ebenez took their seats on the high platform on one side,
giving them a clear view of the duel below.
Both elders remained silent, but they harbored their secret thoughts and plans.
Ghaylen had resolved not to allow Jared to perish in the hands of Bilius. He was ready to step in and
rescue Jared if he lost the battle, as he still required Jared's assistance to heal Viola, who remained
unconscious.
Even without considering Viola, Ghaylen was determined to lend Jared a hand. After all, Jared had
once saved his life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLikewise, Ebenez was also contemplating his options. If Bilius were to lose in the duel, he would not
allow Jared to kill him either.
“Master, do you think Mr. Chance can really take on Bilius? This whole situation feels so surreal...”
Zebediah asked, his tone laced with concern.
“I'm not sure...” Ghaylen shook his head, as he was not completely familiar with Jared's abilities.
“I think he can!” Suddenly, Sigurd voiced his thoughts. After all, he was the only person who had
witnessed Jared in action.
Observing the confident expression on Jared's face, Sigurd felt reassured that Jared knew what he was
getting into.
Upon noticing how much faith Sigurd had in Jared, Ebenez could not help but cast a scornful glance at
him and sarcastically said, “Sigurd, since when did you become Ghaylen's lapdog?”
Sigurd remained silent. After all, Ebenez was his senior, so he was not in any position to refute him
even if he took offense at his remark.
Meanwhile, Jared and Bilius had stepped onto the stage, facing each other.
The stage was surrounded by disciples of the Emerald Cauldron Sect, their faces filled with excitement.
The outer circle disciples, in particular, were eager to witness the showdown, as it had been a long time
since they had seen a duel between two high-ranked cultivators.
“I heard Bilius has recently achieved the Breakthrough and reached the Body Fusion Realm. Who is his
challenger? I don't think I've seen him before!” someone asked.
“He's a new disciple recruited by Mr. Samoll. It seems like he has never been defeated before, and
that's why he dares to challenge Bilius right after joining Emerald Cauldron Sect. That guy is quite
impressive. Not only did he dare to fight against Mr. Erdell's disciple, but he even destroyed a mansion.
How audacious!” Whispers and murmurs circulated among the crowd, discussing Jared's background
and daring demeanor.
None of them believed Jared could defeat Bilius, given the significant gap in their strength.
The difference between their cultivation levels was not something that could be overcome through

“How bold of you to challenge me like this. I want to see if you, a mere Eighth-Level Manifestor, have
what it takes to engage in a life-and-death duel with me, a Body Fusion Realm warrior!” Bilius uttered
while looking at Jared with a scowl.
“You'll find that out soon. Stop wasting time, and make your move now,” Jared replied with a cold smirk.
“You want me to make the first move? If I initiate an attack on you in front of so many people, they
might think I'm taking advantage of you. I'll give you a chance to strike first,” Bilius retorted, not wanting
to be ridiculed for attacking first in such a situation.
“If I were to make the first move, you won't even get a chance to retaliate. I'm giving you one last
opportunity,” Jared said confidently, as if he was unfazed by a duel that could potentially kill him.
Bilius fell silent for a moment before bringing out his Octo Ruler, which emanated thick dark mists.
“You have only ten minutes. Let's see how you can defeat me within these ten minutes,” Bilius declared
as he swung the ruler, creating numerous afterimages that flew toward Jared.
With a flourish of his hand, Jared summoned the Dragonslayer Sword, and the gleaming blade
materialized in his grasp. A subtle flick of his wrist sent dazzling sword arcs soaring into the sky, where
two opposing auras met with a resounding clash!
