Chapter 245 Shock
"Old Mana, congratulations to you! You must drink this cup."
At the banquet, a portly middle aged man cast an envious glance at Jack Fang. If their family could produce such a genius, they would certainly rise in prominence within Bloodstone Pass.
"Oh, it's nothing, just my son's good fortune," Jack mana said with a smile, downing his drink. At that moment, the main door of the Jack family shook violently.
"Bang!"
The sturdy wooden door shattered loudly. Everyone in the Jack family looked on in surprise, seeing a youthful, handsome face slowly come into view under their gaze.
"Excuse me, but could I join your gathering?"
Sawdust flew everywhere, covering the entire Jack family courtyard like a rain of wood chips. Faces were filled with astonishment, except for the young man in a black robe, standing with a smile at the entrance.
"Is it him?" Jack Feng and Sri Tasha exchanged glances, both noticing the shock in each other's eyes. This was the same disheveled cultivator they had seen in Bloodstone Mountain.
Is he out of his mind?
The same thought echoed in everyone's mind, and the looks directed at Blaze Regret were extremely peculiar. Where did he get the audacity to dare to knock on the Jack family's door?
Though the Jack family had suffered greatly in recent years due to the Black Abyss, their foundation still remained. Especially a few days ago, Jack Mana had broken through to become a seventh tier spirit Imperial master, suggesting that the Jack family might once again become a prominent family in the Bloodstone Pass.
In the midst of everyone's bewildered gazes, Blaze Regret stepped lightly, his entire body entering the Jack family's premises.
"How dare you!"
Jack Mana finally reacted, slamming the table with his palm and standing up, his furious gaze locked on Blaze Regret as if to pierce through him. "Who are you really? If you don't give me an explanation today, don't think you'll walk out of here!"
Jack Mana's angry voice rang out, while Jack Feng and Sri Tasha wore expressions of amusement. This kid probably didn't understand what the Jack family represented. It wouldn't be long before he paid a memorable price for his ignorance.
On the other side of the table, Jack Nan sat with his head down, his palms sweating profusely.
How did this kid survive and return? Doesn't that mean the people sent to kill him all failed? But how is that possible?
Blaze Regret was just a second tier spirit Imperial master, after all. Jack Nan couldn't fathom what method Blaze Regret had used to eliminate them.
"But since you've come to the Jack family, there's no way out but death!" Jack Nan lifted his head in hatred, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible, eager to slay Blaze Regret on the spot.
"An explanation?" Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, lifting his hand to reveal a gruesome wound, shocking everyone, even causing Jack Mana's face to twitch involuntarily.
What kind of deep seated hatred would drive someone to such ruthless measures?
"I don't know what happened, but since you broke down the Jack family's door, you will pay the price," Jack Mana said, looking at the mess all around, his eyes glinting coldly. He clenched his hand, and countless ice crystals filled the air. Within them, a slender figure appeared, faintly visible.
The figure resembled a woman with flowing blue hair, holding an ice bow in her hand. The bow was adorned with intricate, beautiful ice patterns.
"It's the Spirit of the Ice Arrow. Jack Mana's spiritual power surged and he became a seventh tier spirit Imperial master after he subdued this spirit beast a few days ago!"
At this sight, everyone in the courtyard hurriedly retreated, fearing they would be caught up in the impending battle.

Blaze Regret formed a seal with one hand, and the silver body of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros appeared in the courtyard, its battle hardened gaze fixed on the Ice Arrow Spirit. This creature was far more dangerous than the Beacon Fire Tiger.
"Boom!"
The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its foot and stomped hard on the ground. A violent gale swept out, carrying wood chips towards the onlookers. The wild momentum caused a slight change in Jack Mana's expression.
"A sixth tier high level Imperial grade spirit beast!" Jack Mana's heart grew heavier. He began to understand where this young man's confidence was coming from.
"Impossible!"
In the distance, Jack Nan exclaimed in shock. How could Blaze Regret, a third tier spirit Imperial master, possibly have a sixth tier Imperial grade spirit beast?
Others in the courtyard shared his disbelief, while Jack Feng and Sri Tasha were wide eyed. This kid was not only a spirit Imperial master but also possessed such a terrifying spirit beast!
Jack Feng, in particular, had been quite smug about his own strength since returning. But now, Blaze Regret's display of power was a severe blow to his pride.
Sri Tasha stood next to Jack Feng, her expression extremely complex.
"Very well, no wonder you don't regard the Jack family at all."
Jack Mana's eyes were filled with a chilling light, and his deep voice boomed: "Ice Arrow Spirit, take care of them!"
With a light step forward, the Ice Arrow Spirit raised its ice bow. As its hand drew back, a sharp ice arrow swiftly formed on the bowstring, the arrowhead glinting with a cold, deadly light.
"Whoosh!"
The Ice Arrow Spirit released its grip, and a pale blue streak shot forth, aimed directly at Blaze Regret.
The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with a flash of ferocity in its eyes, stomped the ground. Spiritual power rapidly gathered on its fist, and then its arm shot out like a spear.
"Bang!"
The sharp ice arrow shattered instantly under the force of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros's punch. The spreading icy ripples scraped a layer off the surrounding ground, and a thin layer of ice crystals formed on Blaze Regret's eyelashes.
