Even so, she continued to burn her own blood essence, striving to resist the Demonic Cultivators.
No matter what, death was inevitable. Judith had already stopped caring about her own life.
Should Jared have the chance to escape, she wished for him to take the secret scroll of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect with him.
After all, she was destined to meet her end sooner or later.
“Abel, has Judith lost her mind? It looks like she’s planning to commit suicide!”
A Demonic Cultivator, visibly taken aback, spoke while watching the nearby Judith.
“She knows her death is inevitable. Dying would at least spare her from being sexually assaulted by us.”
“Keep an eye on the secret scroll she’s holding. Whoever manages to snatch it must hand it over to me!”
After Abel finished speaking, he brandished his long sword and charged at Judith.
Judith watched him, wide-eyed, but she no longer had the strength to resist. All she could do was wait as the Demonic Cultivators bore down upon her.
At that moment, Jared had just finished etching the final divine marking. As he completed the last stroke, a massive arcane array was instantly activated.
Buzz!
With a resonant hum, tens of thousands of golden light rays burst out. The formation, composed of columns, had its spiritual energy react uncontrollably, its roar echoing in all directions. The Demonic Cultivators rushing toward it were repelled into the Dead Sea by an immense force.
Under the countless rays of golden light, the pillars around vanished into a black mist. For a moment, the Dead Sea surged violently, with water columns reaching a height of tens of thousands of feet.
Several Demonic Cultivators were struck by their force and catapulted into the sky until they were no longer visible.
“What kind of arcane array is this? How can it possess such tremendous power?”
Meanwhile, Skylar’s expression drastically changed when he witnessed the unfolding scene before him from mid-air.
He never could have imagined that Jared had managed to set up such an impressive arcane array at the seabed in such a short time.
“Let’s see just how capable you really are!”
Skylar’s gaze hardened, a chill spreading across his face. He absorbed all the black energy from the Dead Sea into his palms. Following that, this black energy coalesced into a spear.
Subsequently, Skylar hurled the spear with all his strength into the Dead Sea. The spear, akin to a bolt of lightning, pierced right through the spot where Jared and the others were located.
Skylar was determined to find out whether Jared’s arcane array was more formidable than his spear.
Whoosh!
The spear moved as fast as lightning, reaching the ocean floor in an instant.
At that moment, Jared had already lifted Judith in his arms. She was barely breathing, her body covered in fresh blood. She looked at Jared and whispered weakly, “Don’t worry about me. Find a way to escape. Take the secret scroll of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect with you. Don’t let those Demonic Cultivators get their hands on it. I can’t move anymore. You should put me down…”
Judith knew that if Jared took her along, there was absolutely no chance of escape.
“Don’t worry. I can definitely get us out of here!”
Jared gave Judith a resolute look.
At that moment, Jared’s brows slightly furrowed. He then lifted his gaze and saw a spear piercing through the water, heading straight for him with a blazing flame trailing behind it.
The spear’s speed had reached its peak. In the time it took Jared to lift his head, the spear had already reached him.
The sharp spear seemed like it could pierce through anything. The surrounding seawater was repelled by the speeding spear, forming a vacuum-like tunnel.
“Hurry up and go…”
Upon seeing the situation, Judith urgently urged Jared to escape, insisting he leave her behind.
However, Jared, holding onto Judith, remained still. He knew this was Skylar’s all-out attack. He wanted to see whether the arcane array generated from his divine markings could withstand Skylar’s blow.
Seeing that Jared was not leaving, Judith suddenly mustered her last bit of strength. She wrestled free from Jared’s embrace and with all her might, pushed him to the side.
At the same moment, a burst of blood mist erupted from her body. She was determined to shield Jared from this blow.
Boom!
The spear exploded instantly, merely three meters away from Judith’s body.
