Chapter 690 Dead
“I didn’t expect Xander to be so relentless.”
Just as he spoke, Axton gestured with his hands to form a barrier and cover Jared and Xander in it.
By doing so, the explosion from Xander’s detonation would be contained inside the barrier, protecting those who
were outside from harm. Or else, an explosion caused by a Martial Arts Grandmaster would definitely kill the crowd
en-masse.
However, the barrier had also prevented Jared from escaping. He had no choice but to brace himself for the
massive energy surge from the explosion.
As the martial energy within Xander expanded rapidly, his body began to balloon as if it was being inflated by air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInstead of releasing it, he concentrated his martial energy within his body, causing it to be bizarrely contorted by
the swelling.
Unable to speak, all Xander could do was scowl at Jared to express his rage.
Despite Xander’s vicious expression, Jared was unfazed. In fact, he seemed to be delighted by his predicament.
“Being fat makes you look adorable.”
Cracking a smile, Jared released a white mist from his body that quickly intertwined with Xander’s red mist.
With both their figures enveloped in the mist, no one could see what was going on inside the barrier.
At that moment, Xander was surprised by Jared’s lack of fear. After all, a Martial Arts Grandmaster was about to
self-destruct which was unheard of within the last century. Furthermore, he was the first Martial Arts Grandmaster
forced by Jared into detonating himself.
Initially, he was looking forward to seeing the panic on Jared’s face before his death. Much to his disappointment
and bewilderment, Jared was filled with excitement instead of fear.
In the midst of his confusion, something even more unbelievable happened. All of a sudden, he felt the energy
within his body being drained from him.
To be able to detonate oneself, one had to concentrate one’s energy within one’s elixir field. If one’s energy were to
flow out, one would lose the capability to self-destruct.
Just when his elixir field was charged to its limit and on the brink of detonation, Xander suddenly felt his energy
being drawn away in an uncontrollable manner.
When he finally stared intently through the mist, he was greeted by an unforgettable sight. Jared was smiling
smugly while absorbing all of the red mist into his body.
Xander was stupefied at what he saw. What is this technique Jared is using? How can he suck someone else’s
energy into his own body?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Xander attempted to stop his elixir field from flowing out, he realized his efforts were useless. All he could do
was idly watch as his elixir field was drained empty.
At that moment, Xander lost the opportunity to self-destruct. His previously bloated body was rapidly deflating into
a scrawny figure.
Even at death, Xander had no idea what sort of power Jared used.
As time ticked by, everyone began to grow curious as to why the explosion never happened.
Once the white mist had cleared, Jared and Xander’s figures emerged. However, Jared was the only one left
standing, while Xander was reduced to a withered corpse with his eyes staring blankly into space.
When everyone saw what happened, they were dumbstruck. Axton removed the barrier with a wave of his hand
and hurried forward.
Soon, everyone swarmed ahead, wanting to find out if Xander was truly dead.
“Xander is… dead.”
Upon verifying the fact, the arena fell into a deathly silence. No one had expected Xander who was about to self-
destruct to stop abruptly at the last minute.a
