Chapter 690 Dead


    “I didn’t expect Xander to be so relentless.”


    Just as he spoke, Axton gestured with his hands to form a barrier and cover Jared and Xander in it.


    By doing so, the explosion from Xander’s detonation would be contained inside the barrier, protecting


    those who were outside from harm. Or else, an explosion caused by a Martial Arts Grandmaster would


    definitely kill the crowd en-masse.


    However, the barrier had also prevented Jared from escaping. He had no choice but to brace himself


    for the massive energy surge from the explosion.


    As the martial energy within Xander expanded rapidly, his body began to balloon as if it was being


    inted by air.


    Instead of releasing it, he concentrated his martial energy within his body, causing it to be bizarrely


    contorted by the swelling.


    Unable to speak, all Xander could do was scowl at Jared to express his rage.


    Despite Xander’s vicious expression, Jared was unfazed. In fact, he seemed to be delighted by his


    predicament.


    “Being fat makes you look adorable.”


    Cracking a smile, Jared released a white mist from his body that quickly intertwined with Xander’s red


    mist.


    With both their figures enveloped in the mist, no one could see what was going on inside the barrier.


    At that moment, Xander was surprised by Jared’sck of fear. After all, a Martial Arts Grandmaster was


    about to self-destruct which was unheard of within thest century. Furthermore, he was the first


    Martial Arts Grandmaster forced by Jared into detonating himself.


    Initially, he was looking forward to seeing the panic on Jared’s face before his death. Much to his


    disappointment and bewilderment, Jared was filled with excitement instead of fear.


    In the midst of his confusion, something even more unbelievable happened. All of a sudden, he felt the


    energy within his body being drained from him.


    To be able to detonate oneself, one had to concentrate one’s energy within one’s elixir field. If one’s


    energy were to flow out, one would lose the capability to self-destruct.


    Just when his elixir field was charged to its limit and on the brink of detonation, Xander suddenly felt his


    energy being drawn away in an uncontroble manner.


    When he finally stared intently through the mist, he was greeted by an unforgettable sight. Jared was


    smiling smugly while absorbing all of the red mist into his body.


    Xander was stupefied at what he saw. What is this technique Jared is using? How can he suck


    someone else’s energy into his own body?


    When Xander attempted to stop his elixir field from flowing out, he realized his efforts were useless. All


    he could do was idly watch as his elixir field was drained empty.


    At that moment, Xander lost the opportunity to self-destruct. His previously bloated body was rapidly


    deting into a scrawny figure.


    Even at death, Xander had no idea what sort of power Jared used.


    As time ticked by, everyone began to grow curious as to why the explosion never happened.


    Once the white mist had cleared, Jared and Xander’s figures emerged. However, Jared was the only


    one left standing, while Xander was reduced to a withered corpse with his eyes staring nkly into


    space.

    When everyone saw what happened, they were dumbstruck. Axton removed the barrier with a wave of


    his hand and hurried forward.


    Soon, everyone swarmed ahead, wanting to find out if Xander was truly dead.


    “Xander is… dead.”


    Upon verifying the fact, the arena fell into a deathly silence. No one had expected Xander who was


    about to self-destruct to stop abruptly at thest minute.
