Chapter 2418
The Secretly Rich Man
âThough heâs told you that I acquired the secret techniques in Fyre Cave, Iâm sure he didnât tell you which ones! Since weâre already here, I may as well elaborate! You see, among the secret techniques, one of them specifically dealt with formations!â replied Gerald who was still smiling.
âOh? Do you mean to say that you can break free from my formation? Now that Iâd like to witness! Iâve refined my bone eroding formation for centuries, you know? Can you really break free from it? If you manage to do it, I donât mind letting you in on a secret!â scoffed the unconvinced man.
âDeal! Well, here it goes! â replied Gerald as he drew his blade before yelling, âSkysplit!â
Following that, Gerald utilized the Cosmo-Amorphous Sword Technique to strike toward Saint Darkwind!
Naturally, this startled the man, though he quickly chanted a spell to form a massive shield made of air before him! To Saint Darkwindâs dismay, the second the blade collided against his shield, it immediately shattered into a million piecesâ¦!
His eyes now widened in disbelief, Saint Darkwind quickly raised his arms in hopes of dampening the impact⦠However, the aurablade simply sliced him clean in half! Before his corpse could hit the ground, however, it quickly turned to dust which rapidly remerged into a smug looking Saint Darkwind who looked good as new!
Laughing out loud, Saint Darkwind then proudly declared, âYouâre the real deal, thatâs for sure!
Fortunately, instead of fighting you head-on like Ryder, Iâm smart enough to rely on this formation! Still, had we fought outside the formation, your attack just now wouldâve surely ended me!â
Before Gerald could reply, Saint Darkwind was already chanting and within seconds, the dust and gravel picked up by the swirling wind had taken the shape of a huge dragon and ferocious looking tigerâ¦!
As the two beasts charged toward the boy, black chains that were summoned from thin air began bolting toward Gerald as well! In no time at all, Gerald was completely bound by the chains! Once the beasts were inches away from him, they stopped in their tracks before releasing ear piercing roars!
With how mighty the roars were, they seemed almost capable of piercing through the heavens.
âAnd here I thought youâd be smart since youâre talented enough to be one of the strongest people in the cultivation realm⦠As it turned out, youâre pretty stupid to fall right into my formation and die here!
Know that the second my dragon and tiger touch you, youâll be nothing but dust! With that said, why donât we make a deal?â asked Saint Darkwind once he was sure that Gerald was firmly tied up as he outstretched his hand to ensure that the tiger and dragon would strike the second he ordered them to.
Looking as cool as a cucumber, Gerald simply replied, âOh? What do you have in mind?â
âYou have two choices. The first is that you teach the supreme techniques to me. Following that, Iâll scrape your cultivation off though Iâll let you live. While Iâm not a particularly kind man, Iâm not as cunning as Ryder! Besides, I have my reasons for enhancing my cultivation. So, what do you think?â
asked Saint Darkwind with a smirk.
âDepends on what the second choice is.â
âThe second involves you surrendering and working for me! While I wonât scrape your cultivation off, youâll have to swallow my bone eroding pill so I can prevent you from betraying me! â explained Saint Darkwind with a smile.
âSounds good. However, truth be told, I should be the one offering options to you,â scoffed Gerald with a sneerâ¦
