‘Soul Trap Knot? What a devilish name!’
Darryl's expression changed as horror struck him. ‘Did he say that it’s not from The Nine Continent? Could it be that... the techniques Jack was practicing, like the Soul Trap Knot, do not belong to The Nine Continent?’
Jack pulled out a dagger and approached Darryl, sneering, "You are the powerful Elysium Gate Sect Master, who is much more cunning than the others. To prevent you from playing any tricks, I’ll have to break all your veins. Sorry but not sorry!"
Jack approached Darryl, waved his dagger and thrust it at Darryl's feet.
Feeling anxious, he desperately tried to dodge the attack, but he was unable even to lift a finger as his body was tied up by the Soul Trap Knot. He felt the evil spirits coming from the Soul Trap Knot seemed to have affected his mind. He became dizzy and was about to faint at any time.
‘Oh, no! I’m the hero of The Nine Continent. Am I going to fall into Jack’s hand just like that?’ Darryl thought.
He was unwilling to submit to the ill fate. He was desperate.
Roar!
A dragon roar came from Darryl’s waist when the dagger was about to sever Darryl's veins. After that, a Godly beast spread out.
It was Jewel, who had been resting in the enchanted beast pouch. Jewel took the dragon ball and appeared in the form of a dragon.
The beasts in the entire valley panicked when they heard the dragon roar. They laid low on the ground and dared not move.
Jack's followers, as well as the people from the major sects, were also inexplicably shocked.
‘This roaring sound…What kind of a beast makes that?’ they wondered.
Buzz!
Noticing the two streaks of lightning were about to hit him, Jack instantaneously released his internal energy and spread a cloud of black mist to form a protective shield in front of him.
Chuck!
The lightning strike blasted the protective shield and it shattered with a crackling sound. Jack groaned and was shot back a dozen steps!
Soon, he regained his footing. A black mark formed on his body where the lighting power struck it, but it did not cause much damage to his body.
‘What? Jack has such a powerful defensive power?’ Both Darryl and Jewel were flabbergasted.
Jack threw his head back and laughed with an elated expression when he saw how shocked Darryl was. "Did you think you could reverse the situation if you had a dragon? No one in this world can hurt me. From today onwards, I will be the master of The Nine Continent and you will be the first stepping stone on my road to success!"
