Chapter 679 A Single Strike

Jared slowly made his way to the arena while everyone in the stadium sat down and quietly waited for

the match to begin.

“Jared, do you have any last words? Tell me before you step into the arena because I will not let you

leave here alive,” Xander taunted Jared.

As he spoke loudly, all the spectators could hear him. They all expected the fight to end only when one

was dead.

“That is also something I would like to ask you. Do you have any last words then? Let me or any of your

men know while in the arena because you will not get out of there alive.”

Jared glanced at Xander, unfazed.

“Preposterous!”

Xander took one step forward, and the entire arena shook. Even the audience could feel the tremors. As

a result, many people started shaking.

Boom!

Xander’s step sounded like thunder and caused a white trace of dust to rise into the air. It formed a

shape of a sharp sword and headed for Jared, who was standing ten meters away.

Xander used all his internal energy to deliver that one blow because he did not want to waste his time

fighting with Jared. After all, he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster. As he wanted to prove his martial

prowess, Xander had to kill Jared with one blow in front of the spectators from the martial arts world.

As the fight had started, the audience could not help but gasp. Many people there had not witnessed a

Martial Arts Grandmaster fighting, and it was stunning to see it in person.

Bang!

The energy waves moved toward Jared, and suddenly, a loud explosion filled the air. Everyone’s ears

buzzed due to the sheer volume of the impact.

Instantly, smoke and dirt covered Jared’s body, and the aftermath had spread across the arena. People

sitting in the front row felt a strong gush of wind hitting them. Before they knew it, their chairs shattered

into pieces.

Despite that, no one got hurt since only skillful martial artists had the guts to sit there in the first place. As

such, they could handle the impact.

“It’s over! Wow, I think this is the fastest match I’ve ever seen. Jared could not even deflect that,” some

spectators exclaimed in shock.

“I don’t think a Senior Grandmaster could handle the attack from Xander earlier. Am I right?”

“It’s way too strong. A Martial Arts Grandmaster’s powers do live up to its name.”

The rest of the audience had seen the mess in the aftermath of Xander’s attack on Jared in the front row.

Since Jared was in the arena, he would likely receive a more deadly blow. Therefore, no one thought he

had the chance to survive.

Having similar sentiments, Josephine started to sob at the sight of the destruction. After recovering from

the shock, she wanted to run onto the arena, but Lizbeth stopped her.

“Jared, you can’t die!”

Josephine howled at the top of her lungs, attracting a lot of attention.

Samuel, Theodore, and others looked grim too. Their palms were sweating as they silently prayed that

Jared could survive the blow given his identity.

“Hmm, how dare he pits himself against the Coopers? Doesn’t he know where he stands?” Sean scoffed

while eyeing Samuel and the rest in glee.

“M-Mr. Knox, isn’t that too fast?” Donald stammered in shock, seeing Jared’s figure disappear under the

dust and smoke.

Axton frowned and shook his head in disappointment. “I didn’t expect Xander to be that strong. It seems

like I’ve overestimated Jared.”

“Mr. Deragon, Jared-”

Meanwhile, Melanie’s mouth hung open as she looked stupefied by what had happened. It was not what

she expected, as Rayleigh did not even have the chance to strike.
