At that moment, the Soul Devouring Dragon Lord surprisingly began to harbor thoughts of retreat.
“Hold on!” Jared shouted.
Jared’s voice echoed in Braxton’s ear. “Mr. Haverford, we meet again!”
Upon turning around and spotting Jared, Braxton frowned slightly. His eyes flashed with anger as exclaimed, “Jared! It’s you who have captured Thorley! Release at once!”
“Do you think you call the shots? Who do you think you are? Don’t forget that you were defeated by me!”
Though Jared was severely injured at that moment, couldn’t afford to lose his imposing demeanor.
With a cold huff, Braxton said, “Hmph! I was merely a fragment of a divine soul, yet you resorted to possessing others with another‘s divine soul. Hence, technically, I didn’t lose to you!”
Thorley was taken aback as listened. He never expected that his own father would actually be acquainted with Jared. Moreover, it was Jared who was responsible for Braxton’s injury.
“No matter what, I have your son. I demand you to withdraw immediately and surrender Winged Tiger City!” Jared threatened Braxton.
“Dare you lay a finger on my son?” Braxton glared at Jared, his eyes as cold as ice.
“What am I afraid of?” Jared sneered, his sword lightly drawn across, and a thin line of blood immediately seeped from Thorley’s neck. “All we want is Winged Tiger City, and you want your son to stay alive.”
“Father, save me! Father, save me!” Thorley felt a slight chill creeping up his neck and hurriedly shouted out to Braxton.
The battlefield had fallen into an eerie stalemate.
Braxton’s face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking noise.
Beside them, Jovan was breaking out in a cold sweat at that moment. His greatest fear was Braxton abandoning them and ultimately retreating. After all, Winged Tiger City was his. If Braxton decided to abandon It, wouldn’t know what to do.
He knew that with the disappearance of Winged Tiger City, his value would also vanish. By then, things would end badly for him.
Jovan was trembling, praying fervently within his heart, pleading for Braxton not to retreat.
In the end, Braxton gritted his teeth and said, “Jared, if I back down, are you letting my son go?”
“Of course! A man’s word is his bond. I can swear to the heavens!” Jared raised his hand and declared, “If I don’t release your son, may I be struck by divine punishment, forever barred from reincarnation!”
Upon hearing Jared’s words, Braxton finally made a decisive gesture, his sleeve sweeping through the air fiercely.
“Everyone from Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall, withdraw!” commanded.
“Mr. Haverford, don’t leave. What am I supposed to do?” Upon seeing the situation, Jovan wanted to plead with Braxton to stay.
However, Braxton didn’t even spare a glance. He just walked away.
Jovan was merely a pawn, and since the pawn had lost its use, Braxton would certainly not spare it another glance.
They were celestials who held themselves in high regard. Even the noble human race was looked down upon by them, let alone the beast race.
As the forces of Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall retreated, Jovan immediately led the remaining Winged Tiger City soldiers, falling to their knees.
“We surrender! We surrender!”
Jovan wanted to surrender, seeking a slim chance to survive. However, the people of Demonic Dragon Palace did not accept that. Instead, they slaughtered everyone from Winged Tiger City, not even sparing Jovan.
The Soul Devouring Dragon Lord cast a profound glance at Jared. In the midst of his soul fire, uttered meaningfully, “Mr. Chance, Demonic Dragon Palace will remember today’s kindness…”
After saying that, promptly led his large army to enter the main city.
Jared sheathed his longsword and released Thorley, whose face had turned ashen.
“Thank you for your assistance, Miss. I’m not sure of your name, but I, Jared, will definitely repay your kindness in the future!” Jared said to the white-dressed woman.
“My name is Jemima Murray,” the white-dressed woman said with a faint smile.
“Ms. Murray, we should head back now. Otherwise, Mr. Murray will start to worry!” Levian said.
Jemima gave a slight nod and turned to Jared. “Thank you for saving those people from Caxton Continent. lf fate allows, we’ll meet again!”
After Jemima finished speaking, planned to leave with Levian. However, as Levian slowly opened a portal into the void, Jemima’s face suddenly paled. Afterward, a stream of fresh blood spurted from mouth.
