The Legendary Man

Chapter 1230

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Stone spikes suddenly shot up between the mountains, knocking the climbers down and piercing them.

For a moment, cries of agony and rage filled the air as Jonathan used his extrication technique to wipeout the cultivators nearest the cave entrance.

At the foot of the mountain, however, a massive horde of figures continued to rush toward the cave.

Having popped three Spirit Rejuvenating Pills into his mouth, Jonathan wasted no time making a seriesof hand seals.

“Break!” he shouted, his voice like the boom of rolling thunder.

The next second, chunks of rocks from the cliff face exploded and plummeted to the ground.

It didn’t take long before the mountains within a hundred-meter radius of Jonathan were shattered andsent crashing down at breakneck speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dust and debris blanketed the entire valley, and the tranquility of the village was instantly broken.

As countless flames lit up in the distant village, several arrows suddenly tore through the sky inJonathan’s direction.

With a quick wave of his right hand, the latter conjured a ball of golden light that seamlesslytransformed into an enormous bell.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

There was a flicker of light as three razor-sharp arrows bounced off the bell’s golden light shield anddisappeared into the mountains.

Before Jonathan could catch a breather, however, he saw the flash of a blade as a Grim Reaper’sscythe came smashing down onto the bell.

Alas, the impact was so strong that it immediately sent Jonathan sliding backward.

To make matters worse, the friction generated by his shoes skidding against the ground had brought ona burning smell.

After regaining his balance, Jonathan promptly tossed out his Divine Chessboard.

“Hurry up with the interrogation! I can’t take this anymore,” he uttered as he glanced at the dozen or sofigures who had landed in the cave.

Then, with just a gentle flick of his finger, Jonathan positioned the chessboard behind him andexpanded it till it became a solid wall that split the cave in two.

Now that he had his back firmly against the chessboard, Jonathan stomped on the ground.

Almost immediately, the cave entrance seemed to melt away as an invisible hand pinched it tight,completely blocking anyone else from entering or exiting.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud banging noises from outside the cave quickly followed while Jonathan and the dozen peopletrapped within plunged into darkness.

“Why did you betray our village, Jonathan?” someone shouted angrily.

Jonathan leaned against Divine Chessboard as he tried to locate the voice, and thankfully, it didn’t takelong.

“Abraham!”

Boom!

A blade slashed at Jonathan before he could say anything more, but fortunately, he had activatedDivine Chessboard’s space-altering formation and teleported himself ten meters away.

Although cultivators like Jonathan were already terrifyingly powerful, one basic rule they’d always followwas to find a light source whenever possible.

It wouldn’t matter even if the light source were weak and faint, like a single candlelight in a massivewarehouse.

Most people would still be blind as a bat under those circumstances, but to cultivators, it’d be enoughfor them to see every nook and cranny of the space they were in.

However, now that the cave entrance was closed and the interior sealed by Divine Chessboard, howcould anyone find light in pitch-darkness?

As a result, everyone could no longer rely on their sight and had to pinpoint each other’s locations byusing sound instead.

With that, Jonathan stood in a corner, carefully detecting even the softest sounds around him.

“I don’t know why you saved us,” he said as he formed a hand seal and vanished from his spot.novelbin

Thanks to that, the three blades that flew mercilessly in his direction missed their target and gotembedded in the cave wall.

“Perhaps you guys were just foolish and were deceived by your chief, or maybe, you’re all just like himand saved us merely for your own ulterior motive. In any case, I owe you a favor, so l shall return ittoday by sparing your life!” Jonathan added, all the while moving from one spot to another.

Just as the villagers continued darting around till their spiritual sense finally caught up to Jonathan’slocation, a flash of dazzling white light suddenly illuminated the tunnel.

Since everyone’s eyes had long adjusted to the dark, Jonathan’s flash grenade promptly left them in atemporary state of blindness.

Jonathan, on the contrary, had already prepared himself for the fight as he closed his eyes andchanneled his inner Grim Reaper, devoid of emotion.

With Heaven Sword in hand, he charged through the burst of light, cutting off countless blades andbrutally slicing several throats as he did.

Blood sprayed everywhere, and within seconds, six of those who had entered the cave tunnel laymotionless in a pool of blood.

Upon realizing that the men around them were dropping like flies, the other seven hastily regained theircomposure and leaped toward the nearby cave walls.

Even though their actions couldn’t effectively remove them from Jonathan’s attack range, especiallygiven how narrow the tunnel was, it’d still be able to reduce the possibility of being the next fatal target.

At the very least, they wouldn’t have to worry about a sneak attack from the back if they were allleaning against the wall.

It was an instinctive behavior that everyone had used and refined over many years of battle, but beforethey could do anything more, a shout rang out in the distance.

“He can control the cave walls!”

After hearing that, the survivors’ first instinct was to step away from the walls, but by then, it was toolate to salvage the situation.

“Return!” Jonathan said flatly as he stood in the middle of the tunnel.

What happened next shook the remaining seven survivors, including Abraham, to the core. Tentaclesbegan protruding from the walls and wrapped around the men, dragging them back to the cold, hardsurface.

Just then, a tiny flame lit up in the distance, which turned out to be a spiritual fire powered by purespiritual energy and dancing on Jonathan’s palm.

The latter gritted his teeth as he stared at the seven men embedded in the wall.

Argh. I used all my spiritual energy and spells to subdue them, but at what price? I had to forfeit controlof the exterior rock wall! It also doesn’t help that they’re struggling so much. If I lowered my guard evena little, it’d only be a matter of time before they break free from the restraints…

At the same time, Stellario’s voice rang out from behind Divine Chessboard.

“We’re done, Jonathan!”

Upon hearing that, Jonathan finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Without further ado, he willed Divine Chessboard to shrink back to palm size before letting it fall into hishand.

Stellario, on the other hand, dragged a corpse nearly stripped to the bone by his flesh-eating bugs andtossed it onto the ground unceremoniously.

“We can get out of here using portal formation, but it’d require a massive amount of spiritual energyand the village’s own emerald badge. I’m sure we can find the badges in these people’s storage bags,”he said calmly.

Hearing that, Jonathan ordered, “Other than Abraham, I’ll leave the rest to you, Seboxia. Deal withthem as you deem fit!”
