Chapter 525 The Old Geezer Exploded

“You asked for it!” Supporting himself against the brick wall that had cracked and collapsed, Garrisonslowly rose to his feet.

“Although I have known that your cultivation level is high and you’re a rare talent, it seems that theOsborne family has underestimated you, Jonathan. Since you refuse to submit, let me eliminate thisobstacle for the family!”

While saying that, Garrison lifted his left hand and pressed his fingers against his right arm hard. Aflash of pure spiritual energy flitted across Jonathan’s eyes. Garrison didn’t activate his force field thistime. Thanks to the augmentation of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy under the surface of his skinbecame distinctly visible.

Ah, the triple energizer meridians! As Jonathan clocked the positions of Garrison’s fingers, his lipscurved into a smile. Those five acupoints governed the circulation of blood in the meridian of the arm.

In other words, Garrison was sealing the five acupoints. Not only did he manage to stop the flow ofblood, but more importantly, he also blocked off his arm’s senses.

“You want to go all out?” Jonathan queried calmly. “No, I’m not going all out. Instead, I’m killing you!”Garrison declared, cackling manically.

His teeth that were stained scarlet by blood appeared horrendously ghastly. “Since you refuse to let mego, you can only die here!”

With a cry from Garrison, a bronze-colored bell appeared in his left hand. When Jonathan sensed theominous aura on the bell, his heart lurched. Seemingly on reflex, he activated his force field andbacked away.

“You want to flee now? It’s too late!” Garrison charged after him. He shot out his right index finger,tapping it against the bell in his left hand.

Ding! It was a light nudge, but a resounding ring split the air. Blood instantly spurted out from Garrison’sfinger that flicked the bell, but it merely scattered an inch before the bell absorbed it.

Standing before him, Jonathan had his force field wide open, sealing his entire body within. Even so, itcouldn’t withstand the invisible ripple that headed straight for his energy field.

Death and emptiness pervaded the air. Wherever the bell sounded, one’s spiritual energy would suffera shockwave while their spiritual sense dispersed. “Die!”

Garrison gave a loud roar upon seeing that Jonathan’s force field was unstable. In a flash, he streakedover to the latter. “Converge!”

With a bark from Jonathan, his remaining force field promptly formed a shield before him. “Smash!”novelbin

As Garrison struck the protective barrier of spiritual energy, Jonathan endured the spasms of spiritualenergy within his mind and flicked his right hand imperceptibly. At once, more than a dozen bouldersrose behind the former. Flying forward so fast that they became afterimages, they shot right at the backof Garrison’s head.

“It’s not going to work!”

Rays of golden light manifested around Garrison unceasingly. When the swift boulders were an inchaway, they turned into dust and scattered.

“I used my own flesh and blood for the exchange, so you’re dying for sure today!”

Ding! Garrison tapped the bell again. His middle finger exploded. Again, the blood was absorbed by thebell in his left hand.

“Shield!”

The Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique was whirring at warp speed within Jonathan. Rays of goldenenergy glimmered, and spiritual energy surged within him ceaselessly.

At that moment, Jonathan felt as though even his blood would boil. In the face of the bell, his spiritualsense merely scattered for a bit before it gathered again.

“Die!”

Following his bellow, Jonathan rushed to Garrison’s right at such speed that he turned into anafterimage. “How is this possible?”

Shock deluged Garrison when he saw that Jonathan was seemingly not affected in the least.

“Fire!” With a roar, Garrison stretched out his hand and struck the bell.

“Slash!”

Jonathan’s figure flickered. He waved his right hand, upon which pure spiritual energy formed aninvisible blade in his right hand.

A single strike from him severed Garrison’s right arm. Alas, Jonathan was a step too late. The severedpalm still struck the bell.

Ding! Following that light ring, the bell blurred and expanded until its diameter exceeded three meters.Meanwhile, Jonathan was thrown back the instant the bell rang, falling into the artificial lake dozens ofmeters away.

His meridians were severed, and his skin was flayed into a bloodied mess. Having fallen into the lake,he bled from all orifices. His consciousness almost faded entirely away.

Ultimately, I still overestimated myself! That isn’t a bell at all. Instead, it is an ancient magical item withengravings of an arcane array, a large bell with many runes on it.

As he cast his mind back at the final afterimage he saw, bitterness swamped him. Well, I’m going todie, huh?

Sensing the squishy sensation at his back, Jonathan knew that he had probably sunk to the bottom ofthe lake.

He wanted to swim to the shore, but the shockwave earlier made it so difficult that he couldn’t exert anounce of energy. Even the spiritual energy within him had then lost all contact with him.

The only thing he could feel was that the spiritual energy in his energy field was swiftly disappearinginto his body.

Just when Jonathan had already resigned himself to his fate, a figure dived into the lake. In the nextsecond, he felt someone seizing hold of his collar, and he quickly started rising to the surface.

“Phew!”

The moment he broke the surface of the water, he gulped in fresh air. At his cultivation level, it wouldhave been a piece of cake for him to even stay in the water for several hours as long as he held hisbreath.

However, he couldn’t use any spiritual energy at all because of the recoil of that strange, large bell. Ifhe hadn’t broken the surface of the water, there was only one ending awaiting him—drowning to death.

Never had there been a moment when he found the air so sweet. He turned to the person who washolding onto him, only to see that it was Andy.

“Mr. Goldstein!”

Using both his hands and legs, Andy dragged Jonathan onto the shore. “Are you okay?” he shoutedanxiously upon seeing that Jonathan’s limbs were completely limp.

“Well, I’m not dead yet!” Jonathan replied as he panted heavily. By then, he was already seeminglyparalyzed from the head down. Besides his head, he couldn’t feel any other part of his body.

Even a four or five-year-old kid could easily stab him in the heart with a knife right then, not to mentionGarrison. Nonetheless, sheer relief suffused him the instant he saw Andy.

I’m not going to die, after all. At least, I’ll definitely be fine as long as Andy remains alive.

Jonathan had no reason to suspect Andy when the latter was someone who was willing to follow himand launch a revolt against Yaleview’s authorities at any minute.

“What happened to you, Mr. Goldstein?” “I was injured by the recoil. Oh yes, where’s Garrison from theOsborne family?” Jonathan asked worriedly.

Although he had taught the Eight Kings of War some cultivation techniques from the Ancient SacredDragon Technique, even Hades, who had the highest cultivation level among the Eight Kings of War,was only at the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm.

I can no longer move now, so if that old geezer from the Osborne family is to attack us, we’ll definitelyperish. Andy alone is no match for that old geezer.

“The old geezer you’re speaking of exploded!”
