Chapter 1223 Suppression
“Well, then. Go to hell!”
Skylar was not going to waste any more of his breath on Jared.
With a light tap on his forehead, a drop of blood essence dripped onto the cymbal.
In the next second, light exploded outward from the ordinary-looking cymbal. Then the waves of dreadful, murderous intent flowed out of it.
When Jared sensed the spreading murderous intent, he gritted his teeth and amped the Power of Dragons to its limit.
He dared not take an item like that carelessly.
Skylar curled his lips when he saw Jared’s response. “It’s useless. You’re nothing to this cymbal!”
With that, Skylar threw the cymbal at Jared.
While soaring in midair, the cymbal grew larger, and rays of light flashed out of the cymbal and shone upon Jared.
Everyone watched with wide eyes as the murderous intent of the cymbal flooded the room.
Jared gritted his teeth. When he saw the incoming cymbal, he threw a punch.
“Sacred Light Fist!”
A radiant ray of gold shot out of Jared’s fist and slammed into the cymbal.
Unfortunately, that punch had no effect on the cymbal at all.
Crash!
The cymbal had fallen onto Jared and kept him pinned inside.
Surges of attacks glided across Jared’s body in the cymbal and left bloody marks behind.
“The Nortons’ family treasure is unbelievable. Jared didn’t even have the chance to defend himself!”
“Of course. Jared had been arrogant at the start. He wasn’t even intimidated by our numbers. But now, he’s trapped under that.”
“Let’s wait and see. I’m sure he’s nothing but meat mush within fifteen minutes.”
Everyone let out sighs of relief when they saw that Jared was trapped by the cymbal, and they began discussing among themselves.
In contrast, Skylar’s heart was aching as he watched the scene.
The cymbal could only be used once, so after this time, it would become an ordinary item; it would no longer hold any power in it.
However, the others had no idea about that.
When they saw the powerful item that the Norton family possessed, they began to feel more loyal to the Norton family.
“Gentlemen, we’ve been interrupted by Jared today. Let’s move to another room in the mansion and continue our banquet.”
Even though all those people had wanted to retreat from the fight earlier, Skylar could not lose his temper with them. After all, they had just sworn loyalty toward the Norton family, so Skylar had to do everything to win their hearts.
However, just as Skylar was about to lead them to another room, something started happening in the cymbal.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
It seemed that Jared had begun struggling in the cymbal.
“What noise was that? Could it be that Jared’s still struggling in there?”
One looked toward the cymbal.
“Don’t worry. No matter how hard he tries, he won’t be able to get out of it. In dozens of minutes, he’ll be the human equivalent of mashed potatoes!” Skylar said, unworried.
“It’s almost as if Jared’s not human. It’s one thing for him to have Golem Body, but another to have such a sturdy body. Even a normal Martial Arts Grandmaster would not last over two minutes in this cymbal. What a pity Jared is a stubborn man. If he could cast aside his pride and join the Norton family, we would be able to stand up against the Warriors Alliance.”
The people were discussing and expressing their pity.
However, the noise from inside the cymbal only got louder and louder as they chatted away.
As a matter of fact, a bump had appeared on the cymbal along with the noises.
It was as if someone had dented it from the inside.
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
The colors began draining from Skylar’s face.
At that very moment, Skylar had no words to describe what he felt.
He would be humiliated if Jared were to break the cymbal.
Moreover, the people would not dare to take a stand against Jared.
