Cassius was caught off guard, Gustave’s razor- sharp claws instantly piercing his body. His eyes widened in disbelief, his face a picture of shock. In a flash, all life force drained from him.
Immediately after that, Gustave opened his mouth and inhaled deeply, drawing a large cloud of death energy from Cassius’ body into his abdomen.
As Trystan witnessed that scene, his expression turned incredibly complex to see his fellow apprentices meeting such an end.
“Drop dead, kid! Just die!” Gustave roared.
The death energy bursting from him enveloped Jared entirely.
It didn’t diffuse in the air but engulfed the latter like a black orb.
No one could see the condition of the man within right then.
And despite being extremely worried, no one dared to approach him to help.
Gustave’s body decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Astonishingly, all that remained of him was his skeletal frame in the end.
He appeared to be a massive skeleton, incredibly frightening.
It was because he had unleashed all the death energy within him. He wanted Jared dead, for as long as that happened, the others would be easy prey.
However, the death energy enveloping Jared gradually faded until his figure eventually became visible. His entire body radiated light, not a trace of decay to be found.
“What a treasure! Verily, it’s a gem!”
Jared gave a faint smile.
“Argh!” Gustave roared, his voice dripping with puzzlement and resentment.
“Since you’re no longer have any death energy, don’t blame me for showing you no mercy.”
After Jared had said that, he shot his fist out.
The punch discharged immense force, landing on Gustave in an instant.
The sounds of bones breaking split the air. Subsequently, his skeletal frame shattered into pieces.
Bone fragments scattered everywhere, shooting off all directions before merging seamlessly with the skeletal remains strewn about Blood Bone Sect.
“I refuse to believe this!” a black shadow roared as that happened.
It was Gustave’s divine soul. Regretfully, right after it let out that cry, it also exploded in a flash.
Jared’s punch didn’t only shatter the skeletal frame. Even the divine soul couldn’t escape.
Even in death, he couldn’t figure out how things ended up like that.
As everyone gazed upon the wiped-out Blood Bone Sect, they were all dazed, showing no hint of delight.
They could hardly believe their eyes.
Just who exactly is Jared? Even though we’ve witnessed his capabilities before, he still manages to astound us again every time! Now, not even death energy can hurt him. This is just too mind-boggling! Moreover, Gustave was at Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Two, on the brink of breaking through to Ultimate Realm Level Three! Few can rival someone of such strength even without the use of death energy. Yet, he was able to kill the man with a single punch as if swatting a fly!
“Stop standing around. Searching around and see if this Blood Bone Sect has any valuable items, especially immortal’s bone. Notify me as soon as you find something!” Jared said to the astonished crowd.
“Oh, okay.”
Only then did Trystan and the others finally snap back to reality. They hastily led their men to plunder the place for resources.
Nieva did the same with her holy maidens. With Blood Bone Sect wiped out then, all the resources were theirs for the taking.
But since Blood Bone Sect used cultivators’ blood and bones to cultivate, there probably wasn’t an abundance of other resources.
Nonetheless, what Jared sought was immortal’s bone precisely. If he could even find a single piece of Vermilion Demon Lord’s skeletal remains, it would all be worth it.
“Quick, come with me, Mr. Chance! There are still many cultivators imprisoned in Blood Bone Sect!”
At just that moment, a Soul Demon Sect disciple came rushing over and reported that to him.
Upon hearing that, Jared hurriedly went with the man.
He then saw about a dozen cultivators being trapped within a strange arcane array under the bone mountain behind Blood Bone Sect.
They were all in a wretched state. Men and women alike, each one of them appeared terrified.
When they saw Jared and the others, they were all curled up into themselves, probably scared out of their wits.
