Chapter 1607 Unscrupulous
Skylar and Edgar used incredibly peculiar magecraft, some of which were even unseen and unheard of. As it turned
out, those were the most powerful abilities of the spirits residing in their respective bodies.
“Edgar, how dare you be so arrogant despite your paltry skills!” Skylar bellowed before seemingly turning himself
invisible mid-air.
The next second, Edgar felt a massive force crushing down on him, causing him to tremble ever so slightly. Skylar’s
figure suddenly rematerialized, only to reveal the utter shock and disbelief on his face.
What? That was my most powerful blow, yet Edgar barely flinched from it! As his face darkened, the rest of the
crowd, too, watched on with bated breath.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMost of them had hoped to see Skylar emerge victorious, yet from the looks of it, that outcome no longer seemed
possible.
Edgar instantly burst into maniacal laughter. “Hahaha! Just so you know, my body has withstood lightning tribulation
before. There’s no way you can hurt me!”
With that, a black aura engulfed him and morphed into a giant hand that hurtled toward Skylar. Just then, an old
voice rang out in Skylar’s mind. “Run! Quick, run…”
Alas, he was in such a daze that he hardly had time to react before the giant hand slammed down on him.
Boom! In an instant, Skylar lost his balance and plummeted to the ground.
Edgar, however, wasn’t ready to let up on his opponent. Instead, he launched a relentless attack by blasting Skylar
with energy beams from his hand, rendering the latter unable to move or retaliate.
By then, the crowd was utterly dumbfounded. Never in their wildest dreams did they think a fight between two
Greater Martial Arts Marquises would end that quickly.
Having witnessed the scene, everyone in the Deragon family started jumping for joy. “Mr. Edgar is the best! Mr.
Edgar is the best…”
To the crowd’s surprise, Skylar suddenly let out a thunderous roar as a dark shadow appeared on his body. With it
being enveloped in a cloud of black mist, there was no way of making out the shadow’s features or even its gender.
“You’ve forced my hand!” the dark shadow bellowed before making Skylar jump to his feet. Interestingly, the
shadow stayed attached to Skylar, and from afar, one would think the latter was carrying a person on his back.
As Skylar felt his power increasing, his eyes, too, began turning red. Edgar, on the other hand, remained unfazed.
“Ah, even the spirit has decided to join the battle. Alas, those efforts are too little, too late. I’ll see to it that you die
today…”
Whoosh! As soon as he said those words, Skylar swiftly appeared before him and slammed a fist onto his body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaving been caught off guard, Edgar lost his balance and staggered backward.
Skylar once again felt a glimmer of hope, and the crowd began cheering him on. Thump! Thump! Thump!
Knowing that he had to strike while the iron was hot, he threw out more than a dozen punches in a row, forcing
Edgar to retreat in fear.
After seeing how Skylar had turned things around with the spirit taking control, everyone started to wish they had
one in them too. “Wow. That spirit’s so powerful! How I wish I could have one attached to me too…”
“Wouldn’t that make you a puppet, though? You’d lose all your privacy!” “Who cares about privacy when you can
have that insane amount of power? I wish the spirit would possess me right now!”
“Yes, and with the spirit’s help, I’m sure we’d get a significant boost in our cultivation…”
Jared said nothing as he listened to the chatter around him. Gosh. If the martial arts world were to continue on this
course, its end would soon be in sight. There’s no way people can make real progress when they’d resort to
unscrupulous behavior to attain power!
