Chapter 1543 Talk Big
It wasn’t until then that Arthur turned around slowly to face Gilbert. “You can’t kill him.” “Why?” Gilbert was startled.
“Because I’ve arrived, so you can’t kill him,” answered Arthur casually. “Hmph! I didn’t stand a chance against you twenty years ago, but things have changed now.”
Gilbert’s aura surged in an instant. “I could’ve killed you twenty years ago, and that stands till this day.”
Arthur maintained his composure as he spoke in a nonchalant tone. Despite his calm manner, he was firm in his attitude.
There was a morose look on Gilbert’s face as he grabbed his tiger head sword. However, Arthur’s cool demeanor made his stomach churn with unease, and he couldn’t muster up the courage to attack Arthur.
After a few moments, he sheathed his blade. “I won’t kill Jared since you’re intent on saving him. It’s the Warriors Alliance that wants him dead anyway, so I’m not going to risk facing you off over their request.”

With that, he turned and was about to leave.
He didn’t hold a grudge against Jared and was merely hired by Zion, so he figured it wasn’t worth risking a confrontation with Arthur.
It was all because he wasn’t sure if he stood a chance against Arthur.
“Did I give you permission to leave?” asked Arthur.
Gilbert was startled. “What do you want? I said I won’t kill him!”
“I will kill you!” Arthur replied firmly.
Gilbert ran that over in his head.
The short sentence made him shudder and faltered backward.
“I’m not afraid of you! Neither of us will come out of this unscathed if a fight breaks out.”
Yet, as the blade was swung around, sending shockwaves in Arthur’s direction, Arthur merely raised his right hand and gave a light tap mid-air.
It generated a gentle breeze that headed straight for the shockwaves created by the blade.
The horrifying shockwaves dissipated the instant they came into contact with the attack Arthur generated.
There were no earth-shattering shockwaves as an aftermath, nor were there deafening noises.
Gilbert’s all-out attack was silently dispersed just like that.
Jared was dumbstruck, for he had never witnessed such power.
Gilbert was also staring wide-eyed upon witnessing what had transpired.
That was his strongest attacking move.
For that to be so easily dispersed, it proved the massive disparity in power level between him and Arthur.
Overwhelmed by terror, Gilbert lost all courage that he previously had while barking at Arthur before that.
All he had in his mind at that instant was to flee.
He knew he would never stand a chance against Arthur.
