Chapter 679 A Single Strike
Jared slowly made his way to the arena while everyone in the stadium sat down and quietly waited for the match to
begin.
“Jared, do you have any last words? Tell me before you step into the arena because I will not let you leave here
alive,” Xander taunted Jared.
As he spoke loudly, all the spectators could hear him. They all expected the fight to end only when one was dead.
“That is also something I would like to ask you. Do you have any last words then? Let me or any of your men know
while in the arena because you will not get out of there alive.”
Jared glanced at Xander, unfazed.
“Preposterous!”
Xander took one step forward, and the entire arena shook. Even the audience could feel the tremors. As a result,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmany people started shaking.
Boom!
Xander’s step sounded like thunder and caused a white trace of dust to rise into the air. It formed a shape of a
sharp sword and headed for Jared, who was standing ten meters away.
Xander used all his internal energy to deliver that one blow because he did not want to waste his time fighting with
Jared. After all, he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster. As he wanted to prove his martial prowess, Xander had to kill
Jared with one blow in front of the spectators from the martial arts world.
As the fight had started, the audience could not help but gasp. Many people there had not witnessed a Martial Arts
Grandmaster fighting, and it was stunning to see it in person.
Bang!
The energy waves moved toward Jared, and suddenly, a loud explosion filled the air. Everyone’s ears buzzed due to
the sheer volume of the impact.
Instantly, smoke and dirt covered Jared’s body, and the aftermath had spread across the arena. People sitting in
the front row felt a strong gush of wind hitting them. Before they knew it, their chairs shattered into pieces.
Despite that, no one got hurt since only skillful martial artists had the guts to sit there in the first place. As such,
they could handle the impact.
“It’s over! Wow, I think this is the fastest match I’ve ever seen. Jared could not even deflect that,” some spectators
exclaimed in shock.
“I don’t think a Senior Grandmaster could handle the attack from Xander earlier. Am I right?”
“It’s way too strong. A Martial Arts Grandmaster’s powers do live up to its name.”
The rest of the audience had seen the mess in the aftermath of Xander’s attack on Jared in the front row. Since
Jared was in the arena, he would likely receive a more deadly blow. Therefore, no one thought he had the chance
to survive.
Having similar sentiments, Josephine started to sob at the sight of the destruction. After recovering from the shock,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe wanted to run onto the arena, but Lizbeth stopped her.
“Jared, you can’t die!”
Josephine howled at the top of her lungs, attracting a lot of attention.
Samuel, Theodore, and others looked grim too. Their palms were sweating as they silently prayed that Jared could
survive the blow given his identity.
“Hmm, how dare he pits himself against the Coopers? Doesn’t he know where he stands?” Sean scoffed while
eyeing Samuel and the rest in glee.
“M-Mr. Knox, isn’t that too fast?” Donald stammered in shock, seeing Jared’s figure disappear under the dust and
smoke.
Axton frowned and shook his head in disappointment. “I didn’t expect Xander to be that strong. It seems like I’ve
overestimated Jared.”
“Mr. Deragon, Jared-”
Meanwhile, Melanie’s mouth hung open as she looked stupefied by what had happened. It was not what she
expected, as Rayleigh did not even have the chance to strike.
