A Man Like None Other - Season 8 Episode 66

Although most of the magmis had been blocked, a small amount still landed on Curtis.

Right then, a sizzling sound could be heard, and a burning smell filled the air. Immediately after that, Curtis’ screams ensued.

As soon as the magmis touched Curtis’ arm, it started burning into his flesh.

Realizing what was happening, Curtis gritted his teeth and brought down the tip of Sword of Evil in an arc, cutting off a large piece of flesh from his arm, along with the area that was burning with the magmis.

If he had not done that, Curtis’ arms would be burned through by the magmis and a terrifying hole would be formed.

It was undeniable that Curtis was a ruthless person. After all, he showed no hesitation in cutting off his own flesh.

“Any more tricks up your sleeve? Come on, show what you’ve got. Otherwise, you won’t have the chance to do so,” Jared said coldly, gripping Dragonslayer Sword in his hand.

Curtis frowned slightly. “You want to kill me?”

“Of course. What makes you think only you can try to kill me? I can do the same too.” Jared found his words quite amusing.

“No way. You can’t kill me. I’m a member of Turcoln and my mentor is Declan. If you do, he’ll definitely avenge my death. And when that happens, you won’t be able to escape even if you run to the ends of the earth.” Curtis had a look of terror written on his face. I’m a genius. I can’t just die like that. Besides, I haven’t even completed my cultivation. I still have a great future ahead of me.

“I don’t care who your mentor is. Even if your mentor wants to take revenge on me, you won’t be there to see it, anyway.” With that, Jared directed Dragonslayer Sword toward Curtis’ chest.

When he saw Jared was determined to kill him, Curtis was so terrified that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground.

He was scared out of his wits, and he began pleading, “No… P-Please don’t kill me… I beg you…”

The genius of Turcoln was actually begging for mercy on his knees. If this was made known, the entire Turcoln would probably be mocked by the public.

Despite that, Curtis could not be bothered about all that. All he wanted at that moment was to live.

Hence, he got to his knees to beg. Nonetheless, Jared did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for Curtis, He knew if he were the one who failed, his life would not be spared.

Moreover, Jared was no saint. When it came to dealing with his enemies, there was only one solution-kill them.

Just as he was about to plunge Dragonslayer Sword into Curtis’ chest, Lyanna suddenly stopped him.

“Jared, you cannot kill him. You’ve no idea how scary Turcoln or even how powerful his mentor is. If you really kill him, Turcoln will do everything in their power to hunt you down. Dan’t you think you have made a lot of enemies already?” she advised.

Back then, when he killed Carlos, the leader of the Empyrean Sect, Hayden, searched high and low for Jared. If Jared were to kill Curtis at that moment, it would be impossible for him to handle being hunted by both Empyrean Sect and Turcoln at the same time with his current abilities.

“Sure, I have many enemies. That’s why I don’t care if Turcoln adds to the list.” There was a look of hostility on Jared’s face.

Jared did not care be it Empyrean Sect or Turcoln for he was going to go with the flow. After all, he knew he had many enemies targeting him. Even though he killed Xander in a fair battle in the arena, he knew the Cooper family would never let things go so easily.

On top of that, the Deragons whom Jared never met, had already announced a kill order on him. Hence, he was in danger at that very moment. However, all the Deragons knew was that the person who was once their eldest son was still alive. As to who exactly it was, they had no idea. Thus, Jared was safe for the time being.

If the Deragons found out Jared was the eldest son of their family, then there would be a storm.

“You might not be scared, but what about the people around you? Are you able to protect them? Come on, you’ve got to take them into consideration.” Lyanna did not want Jared to offend the entire Turcoln just for the sake of killing Curtis-it would be a foolish act.
