Chapter 848 Tag Team
“Get him!” Kristoff ordered when he saw what was happening.
If he didn’t get his Martial Arts Grandmaster to take action now, they’d have the tables turned on them once
Sylvester obtained the draconic essence.
Kenneth, too, had the same idea and quickly instructed his Martial Arts Grandmaster to join in the attack.
Just as Sylvester was about to lay a hand on Jared, two strong blasts of martial energy shot out and slammed into
him.
The force instantly sent him flying backward as a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
As much as he hated to admit it, Sylvester’s current strength was hardly a match for two highly-ranked martial
artists.
Having taken Sylvester down, the two Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Shalvis family and Thunderstorm Sect
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtimmediately charged toward Jared. However, before they could even get near him, a fight had broken out between
them.
Jared was now the hottest commodity, and unsurprisingly, everyone was gunning for him.
Unfortunately, it was hard to tell who’d win, given how evenly matched the Martial Arts Grandmasters were.
Regardless of the outcome, both parties would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.
“Mr. Carrall, Mr. Shalvis, can we please talk this over? You guys want the draconic essence, but I’m only interested
in killing Jared. If that’s the case, why don’t we work together? Once Jared has been eliminated, I promise not to
fight with you over the draconic essence,” Sylvester suggested.
It had become clear to him that no good would come out of them fighting one another. If they continued to do so,
the only person to benefit from the chaos would be Jared.
Upon hearing that, Kenneth and Kristoff got their subordinates to retreat as they considered Sylvester’s suggestion.
“He’s right, Kenneth. It’s pointless to fight among ourselves,” Kristoff chimed in. “Why don’t we work together
instead? If Jared absorbs all the draconic essence, we’ll just split him in half to share. Who knows? Drinking his
blood and eating his flesh might also help our cultivation…”
After giving it some thought, Kenneth finally nodded. “Very well, let’s do as you say then!”
With their alliance formed, the three families turned their attention to Jared.
Jared couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine when he saw their covetous eyes.
There was nothing to fear if he were only up against one Fourth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster. Three Martial Arts
Grandmasters, however, would be a different story. Even with the draconic essence and Dragonslayer Sword in his
possession, Jared knew he couldn’t take on all of them simultaneously.
“Why don’t you spare yourself the pain and end your own life, Jared?” Sylvester said coldly. “You killed my brother,
so today’s the day I avenge him!”
“Ha! You guys are all Martial Arts Grandmasters, yet you have the cheek to gang up on me? Have you no shame?”
Jared scoffed. “Sometimes, I wonder how you even achieved such cultivation in the first place…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs it turned out, Jared was intentionally provoking them. The best outcome he could hope for was if the families
took him on one by one. Even if it became a tag team battle, Jared knew he’d be able to hold out, especially since
the draconic essence was constantly replenishing his energy.
“Oh, are you trying to provoke us? Too bad it doesn’t work on me. I’m more than happy to do whatever it takes to
kill you!” Sylvester replied firmly.
Jared’s face was grim as he turned to Lizbeth. “Lizbeth, take Josephine with you and find a chance to escape. I’ll be
fine…”
Despite saying that, Jared knew the chances of him surviving the attack were low, and he couldn’t let Lizbeth or
Josephine suffer with him.
After all, neither Kristoff nor Kenneth were good people, and Jared dreaded to think how they’d treat the women if
something untoward happened to him.
Alas, Josephine shook her head adamantly. “No, I’m not leaving! If you die, I’ll die with you too! Lizbeth, escape
when you can. No matter what happens, I’m staying with Jared.”
