Jared knew that once he engaged in combat, the remaining Demonic Cultivators would swiftly catch up to them.
Thus, he didn’t stop for even a moment despite the punches that landed on him.
“You’ll never be able to escape!”
Another Demonic Cultivator blocked Jared and Judith’s path.
Without wasting any words, Jared immediately unsheathed his Dragonslayer Sword and swiftly swung it at the man.
The resulting light that filled the sky struck the Demonic Cultivator down right away. Even his divine soul didn’t have a chance to escape.
As death approached, the Demonic Cultivator’s eyes widened to saucers, disbelief written all over his face. Never had he imagined that he would be slain by a cultivator at Seventh Level Tribulator in a single move.
If it had been Abel and the others, they certainly wouldn’t have confronted Jared head-on. After all, they had squared off against him before and were well aware of his true capabilities.
The Demonic Cultivators Skylar brought later had never witnessed his true capabilities. For that reason, the Demonic Cultivator was caught off guard and was instantly slain by a single strike of his sword.
However, that strike also slowed Jared down.
In an instant, over a dozen Demonic Cultivators from all directions had surrounded them completely.
Skylar also soared to the sky from the sea, making a beeline over.
Jared’s brows furrowed. Realizing escape was no longer an option, he went back to the Dead Sea once again with Judith.
Consequently, the Demonic Cultivators could no longer pursue them.
“Mr. Norton, Jared burst out of the sea, and after killing one of our men, retreated to the sea again. We’re unable to pursue him,” Abel reported upon seeing Skylar.
“Don’t worry. They won’t be able to escape.”
Skylar gazed out at the sea, his eyes radiating menace.
He slowly raised his palms. In an instant, the sky changed in color. Clouds of dark mist began to gather and close in from the distance until they covered a radius of a hundred miles of the surrounding sea in the end.
Rumble!
Jared and Judith had just arrived at the seabed when they felt the entire sea shaking.
The previously calm waters began to churn, throwing the entire expanse of the sea into chaos.
Waves of black energy flooded into the sea, instantly coloring the surroundings as black as ink.
At the same time, a deafening explosion split the sky.
Judith was so scared that her face turned ashen. She unconsciously clutched at Jared’s arm, her body trembling slightly.
The surrounding black energy slowly coalesced into thick cylindrical pillars which then planted themselves right into the seabed.
As they did so, they formed an enclosure reminiscent of a cage. Following that, markings began lighting up on the black pillars incessantly.
Spiritual light filled the air as the markings shimmered. Black mist swirled around the pillars, forming a massive net.
At that, Jared and Judith were downright hemmed in as if trapped in a prison.
“W-What… is this? How terrifying,” Judith asked shakily, her eyebrows furrowed.
“It seems that Skylar has learned quite a bit. But he’s still too green to outdo me in arcane arrays. Guard me. I need to reinscribe my arcane array. I shall see whose arcane array is superior.”
After Jared had said that, he began inscribing array runes on the seabed continuously. But they were somewhat unique this time, not only incredibly complex in shape but each of them also emitted a golden glow.
If Judith had any knowledge about arcane arrays, she would certainly have been able to discern that the array runes the man was inscribing weren’t mere ordinary ones, but divine markings he learned from Divinus, the bearer of divine markings.
She anxiously scanned the surroundings, determined to guard him, allowing him to focus on setting up the arcane array with peace of mind.
However, she didn’t have a magic sword. Bare- handed and unarmed, she had no confidence at all.
The strange sounds of water surrounding them grew increasingly louder and nearer.
It was as if countless figures were swimming in the sea. If it had been in the past, Judith wouldn’t have been afraid because she didn’t believe that anyone could enter the Dead Sea.
But right then, she couldn’t help but feel fearful because some cultivators simply didn’t care about the temperature in the Dead Sea.
