The Man’s Decree

Brutus ended up throwing all the poisons he had at Jared. I'm sure one of these is going to kill Jared!

However, Jared didn't bother dodging. Instead, he was casually beating Brutus up with the tree branch in his hand.

A few minutes later, Brutus had used up all the poisons he had, and Jared was still standing upright and unharmed.

On the other hand, Brutus' clothes were in rags, and his body was filled with injuries inflicted by Jared.

“It's time to kill you...” Jared glanced at the heavily wounded Brutus and lifted the tree branch into the air once again.

At that moment, Brutus knew Jared could easily kill him with the tree branch.

Right when Jared was about to end Brutus for good, Percy called out, “Jared!”

Jared turned toward Percy, and the latter asked, “Jared, could you please leave him to me? I would like to kill him myself and avenge the villagers!”

Jared nodded, lifted Brutus up by the collar, and jumped into the square in Rock Village.

After that, Jared kicked and broke both Brutus' legs to prevent the latter from escaping.

In the square, Brutus was on his knees with his head lowered. Obviously, he was no longer as haughty as before.

“Kill him! Kill him!” the villagers in Rock Village shouted angrily because the corpses of the villagers Brutus had murdered a few days prior were placed beside the square.

Percy took an axe from a fellow villager and walked up to Brutus.

All of a sudden, Antonio blocked Percy's path and warned, “You can't kill him, Percy. If Brutus is murdered by a villager from Rock Village, Emerald Cauldron Sect will definitely come after Rock Village. Even if Jared were to kill Brutus today, Rock Village would still be in danger.”

As soon as those words fell, Percy was stumped, and the rest of the villagers fell silent and lowered their heads at once. Mr. Antonio is right. We can take revenge and kill Brutus, but he's backed by Emerald Cauldron Sect. Rock Village doesn't stand a chance against Emerald Cauldron Sect.

“Haha! I'm a disciple of Emerald Cauldron Sect, and they're backing me! If you kill me, Emerald Cauldron Sect will kill everyone in Rock Village!” Brutus' confidence grew when he heard Antonio's words. They don't have the guts to kill me because they fear Emerald Cauldron Sect!

Although the villagers of Rock Village were enraged when they heard Brutus' overbearing words, they didn't dare to utter a single word.

Percy's face flushed bright red, and his hands were trembling. Feeling helpless, he cast Jared a glance.

Jared then suddenly whipped the corners of Brutus' mouth with the tree branch, breaking the latter's jaw in the process. Just like that, Brutus lost the ability to make a sound.

“Mr. Antonio, do you trust me?” Jared glanced at Antonio.

“Well, of course! I trust you!” Antonio replied.

“If you trust me, let Percy kill that man. After that, I can guarantee that Emerald Cauldron Sect will never seek revenge on Rock Village,” Jared assured.

“Why is that?” Antonio asked in puzzlement.
