The Mans Decree
Chapter 4028

At that moment, Jared’s expression changed. He quickly moved his hands away from the rock wall and looked down at Maurice below.

Jared broke out in a cold sweat. Maurice had managed to approach him from below without him noticing at all.

Fortunately, Jared had just practiced True Fire Spiritual body, which enveloped his body in a fiery aura, saving him from getting hurt by Maurice’s attack.

Nevertheless, Jared was given quite the scare.

Jared swiftly flew upward, simultaneously holding his breath and suppressing his presence to the bare minimum. If one couldn’t use their spiritual sense to scan the surroundings and relied solely on sight, they wouldn’t be able to see far into the lava river at all.

Upon seeing that his first strike didn’t hit its mark and that Jared was attempting to flee, Maurice quickened his pace and pursued him.

In order to prevent Jared from escaping, Maurice was desperately stirring the lava river with both hands. Waves of internal flames surged wildly, causing complete chaos in the river of lava.

This way, he could slow down Jared’s escape.

Meanwhile, Maurice was fully enveloped by the ghost mask, utterly unimpeded.

Jared felt the roiling river of molten lava stirring within him, causing his brow to furrow.

Has Maurice gone mad? If things continue this way, it won’t be long before his spiritual energy is completely drained. Such a situation will have an effect on Maurice as well, causing him to slow down. In that case, wouldn’t it be all the same?

While Jared was pondering whether Maurice had lost his mind, a figure suddenly dashed in front of him, blocking his path.

Jared focused his gaze, only to realize that it was Maurice.

However, at that moment, Maurice looked extremely frightening. His entire body was enveloped by the ghost mask, and his visage split open from the middle, with fresh blood continuously seeping from his forehead.

Moreover, the blood that burst forth was

instantly devoured by the ghost mask on his body.

Upon witnessing this terrifying scene, Jared was left stunned.

He couldn’t figure out what kind of technique Maurice was actually using.

“Kid, I’m going to kill you today,” he said. “Because of you, I have even used Ghost Mask Sect’s secret technique. I fear I’ll need a century of solitary training to recover. If I don’t kill you, I’ll never be at peace…”

Maurice glared furiously at Jared, wishing he could swallow him whole right then and there.

Jared had never anticipated that Maurice would attack him relentlessly, even resorting to secret techniques just to kill him.

Maurice’s palm was once again enveloped in a dark glow. Suddenly, the black light exploded, radiating countless beams of brilliance.

In an instant, the area spanning several miles around Jared was engulfed by it.

It seemed that Maurice was worried that Jared might escape, so he took measures to control Jared.

Jared was bathed in the surrounding radiance, fully aware that this time, he was truly doomed.

It was clear that Maurice was determined to kill him, leaving Jared no escape.

Thus, Jared had no choice but to pathetically evade the relentless onslaught of radiant light.

However, as the brilliance continued to contract, the space in which Jared could move was also becoming increasingly limited.

“D*mn, this guy just won’t quit…” Jared cursed.

“Kid, hand over control of your body to me now. I’ll help you finish him off,” Vermilion Demon Lord said.

Jared ignored him. He knew that if he allowed Vermilion Demon Lord to take control of his body, he might have a chance to defeat Maurice. However, he was also aware that such a move would inevitably lead to the destruction of his physical body.

Seeing that Jared remained silent, Vermilion Demon Lord continued, “It’s fine if you don’t let me control, but you can’t escape this situation. Try using the flame vortex again…”

Upon hearing the advice, Jared hurriedly looked over, only to replace that the flame vortex was no longer there.

At first, Jared was terrified of the fire vortex, but now, he was eagerly anticipating its appearance.

“There’s no flame vortex here…” Jared anxiously exclaimed.
