Chapter 5916

“Now!”

With that, Vermilion Demon Lord thrust both hands forward, spell-weaving fingers blurring in fevered succession. A wave of dark-scarlet demonic aura burst from his palms and hardened into three monstrous ice serpents, their scales jagged with murderous frost. They shot downward like comet tails and drove toward the triangle formed by the three array banners, aiming for the very vein beneath the cavern floor.

Boom!

A thunderous detonation followed. Polar cold slammed against molten heat, and the collision screamed like metal dragged across bone. The magma lake convulsed, yet in that instant, the serpents bored into the subterranean meridians and froze the fiery current solid.

The next second, Jared sprang into action.

Instead of using the Dragonslayer Sword, he raised two fingers as a blade, gathering at their tips a thread of graying chaotic sword energy so condensed it looked carved from storm clouds caught at dusk.

His footing wavered like a drunk, yet his speed was spectral. He slipped through the gap at the heart of the three array banners, a ghost of motion even the eye resisted tracking.
