After all, Jaden was someone ranked high on the Titan List. In other places, a man of his level would have been seen as a founding master. Even though he had not broken through to the realm of a martial emperor yet, his strength was so overwhelming that even a martial emperor would not intimidate him.
With a furious roar, Jadenโs muscular legs suddenly shot up. With one kick, he sent one side of the RollsโRoyceโs door flying off. He snorted coldly and darted out, escaping the cramped confines of the vehicle.
Outside, he would have room to fight properly. Just as he left the car, a series of cracking sounds rang out as the carโs roof was smashed completely flat. If he had come out even a second later, he would have been crushed underneath for sure.
Jadenโs face twisted with fury, his eyes burning with a violent, bloodthirsty glow. His car had been custom-built, strong enough to withstand machineโgun fire and sledgehammer blows. Yet, after just two strikes, it was completely mangled.
Jaden was unaware that he was facing Andrew. However, he knew that while Andrew might not have reached the level of a martial emperor, he was damn close.
Still, Jaden could not care less. Even if a martial emperor had shown up, he would kill them all the same.
Leaning his upper body forward, he shot out like an arrow released from a bow, piercing through the curtain of rain in an instant. In the narrow alley, it was as if a bulldozer had passed through, as the water on the ground all shot toward the walls on either side.
Jadenโs explosive burst of speed was already comparable to a fighter jet taking off.
However, Andrew had merged with the darkness and rain, and he was equally extraordinary. He faced Jaden headโon, swinging his arm in a clean, brutal strike aimed at his waist.
Jadenโs eyes widened. In the darkness, he actually saw a ball of fierce flames, like a roaring fire dragon surging straight at him. Gritting his teeth, he pushed his body to its limits, matching the attack with a strike of his own.
A massive wave of water burst outward from where their blows collided, rippling down the alley.
Jaden staggered back, step after step, each one leaving a deep crater in the wet concrete. Even so, his expression remained unchanged.
The bones in his hand had cracked from the impact, and his wrist was seconds from breaking. His palm burned like it was on fire, and even the rain could not cool the black smoke curling from his skin.
This heat not only damaged his skin and flesh, but also the true energy flowing through his meridians beneath.
His true energy had actually been ignited!
Jaden thought Andrew had an incredibly fierce palm technique. Though his heart was alarmed, he did not slow down. He redirected the force, pushed off again, and lunged forward. The other man did the same, charging straight at him.
Jaden tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see Andrewโs face clearly. Yet, the rain seemed to fall even harder now. Plus, Andrewโs speed was too fast, and with the night dark as ink, he saw absolutely nothing.
Chapter 2422
In midair, Jadenโs body suddenly dropped downward.
Andrew clearly had not expected Jadenโs movement technique to be so masterful. And so, he passed right over Jadenโs head.
Jaden grinned viciously and launched a kick upward while still airborne. The moment his foot shot out, a barrier of true energy formed in front of him. The barrier took the shape of a sharp cone, with killing power enough to devastate anything in its path.
However, Andrewโs movement technique was equally impressive. Forcibly twisting his body in midair with a harsh contortion, he managed to dodge Jadenโs sinister upward sweep. Then, with both hands raised, he slammed down from above like a divine strike.
Jaden growled, โYou think Iโm scared of you?โ
He did not back off. Instead, he met the attack headโon, raising both arms to block.
There was a sickening crack.
His already injured wrist finally gave out, snapping under the impact.
