Jarred's face turned ghostly pale as he mulled over what Fade said. He was nothing more than a great medicine that they were cultivating.
He let out a sudden cry of horror, "Master, don't, no, don't kill me-"
Master Fire Skull remained unmoved and spoke coldly, "I've spent so much blood and energy nourishing you for three years. I've allowed you to return to your youth and restore your strength. Now, it's time for you to devote yourself to me."
"No
Amidst Jarred's final scream, Master Fire Skull reached out with his right hand, tearing through Jarred's clothes and flesh, and grabbed his heart.
Then, he exerted force, pulled it out, and crushed it in his hand.
Fresh blood and the remains of Jarred's heart dripped down his fingers. The only thing left intact was a bean-sized red ball in his palm.
He looked at the red ball with a grim smile. "Although it is not yet ripe and only has limited effects, it is still good. After I take this medicine, your only option is death, Fade."
Ignoring how bloodied the ball was, he tipped his head back, plopped it into his mouth, and swallowed.
Immediately his body shook, and his face turned red. There was a strong smell of blood emanating from him. His injuries disappeared all of a sudden; his initially pale face regained its color. His momentum seemed to be even better than before.
At the sight of that bloody and cruel scene, Carter's whole body trembled. He was as white as a sheet, rooted to the spot, scared out of his wits. "What, my master, he..."
Even Master Fire Skull's companion, Master Duo Skull, trembled upon watching. Under his mask, there was an unprecedented look of fear flashing through his eyes.
At the moment, an enormous axe was flying over the area in flames. Rumbling sounds rang out continuously, and it brought with it crushing pressure.
Fade frowned slightly, staring at the incoming giant axe. He narrowed his eyes, then let out a cold roar and began to gesture with his hands.
In an instant, rays of red light danced on his fingertips and finally condensed into a big red net made up of his life energy.
With a flick of his hands, the net with its red flowing light spread out in the air to meet the red axe on the other side.
The sharp blade of the axe, which was ablaze, hit the big net. It then bounced up, to Master Fire Skull's surprise, it did not cut through the net.
Instead, the net formed by the movements of Fade's fingers caught the axe, which turned slowly inside it, slowly becoming entangled.
Various large nets formed from the red streams of light were, at that moment, completely wrapping the axe like a huge red cocoon. Immediately after, Fade gave it a tug.
The giant axe in the air, flew like a kite, it was entangled by the red net and was about to be pulled over by Fade.
Master Fire Skull, who had just healed himself, was surprised by what Fade did. He immediately moved and shot out several beams of light into the giant axe, controlling it to make it fly over to him. "You wish to steal my treasure? In your dreams!"
The flame had a burning and corrosive nature. As long as it touched Fade's body, it would open up a big hole in his skin in less than three seconds. After that, his heart would be ignited by it and he would be corroded to death.
Therefore, when the flame in his palm touched Fade's clothes, Master Fire Skull smiled, seemingly seeing Fade's dying scene playing out before him.
However, the moment the flame came into contact with Fade, a sphere of red light suddenly burst out from Fade's heart. The light swallowed the flames in Master Fire Skull's hands in an instant. It then quickly spread throughout his hand.
Master Fire Skull suddenly felt his right arm burning rapidly. With a terrifying speed, it turned into a pile of ashes that scattered to the ground and was blown away by the wind.
The intense pain made him scream. With a pained and astonished expression on his face, he gnashed his teeth and exclaimed, "How could this happen? Why?"
Fade had already obtained the small axe and pocketed it. He then looked at Master Fire Skull directly and said calmly, "I told you not to play with fire in front of me."
"Who the hell are you?" Master Fire Skull screeched.
He did not answer, but reminded him lightly, "If you don't cut off your right arm in time, your whole body will be burned clean in less than ten seconds."
"I—" Master Fire Skull was taken aback. When he saw the flames that had spread to his arms and elbows, he gritted his teeth and formed an air blade with his left hand. He slashed it down onto his right arm and cut it off. Then, he quickly pressed a few times on the severed part to cut off the blood flow.
His bloodied right arm fell to the ground, and in three seconds, it was instantly cremated into a pile of ashes by the flame.
