Chapter 137


    Lucian was in the guest room on the second floor. The service staff brought Jonathan over to the guest


    room and said, “Mr. Yandell is inside.”


    Jonathan replied, “Thanks!”


    “You''re wee,” replied the staff with a smile before he turned around and left.


    Jonathan did not rush to enter the guest room but started focusing his senses first. Immediately, he felt


    an unyielding rageing from the room. That vengeful energy was obviouslying from Lucian.


    Jonathan sighed faintly. I guess things aren''t going to end well today. Of course, at his level of


    cultivation, Jonathan was not afraid of Lucian. He pushed the door open and entered the guest room


    without hesitation.


    The lights in the guestroom were off, and it was dead silent.


    Moonlight shone into the room as soon as the door was opened.


    The first thing that Jonathan saw right away was Lucian sitting crossed-legged on the bed.


    However, at this moment, Lucian lookedpletely different from the Lucian of the past. He used to be


    a handsome young man who looked as if he had walked straight out of a painting.


    But now, one of his eyes was missing, leaving a gaping hole that was covered with scabs. His face was


    now ugly and permanently disfigured, and he was also unshaven. The worst part, though, was his aura,


    which was filled with hostility.


    Jonathan finally believed what Mabel said. Lucian truly has gone insane.


    Lucian was famous ever since he was young and had grown up with a smooth-sailing life. Thus, it was


    definitely difficult for him to ept the major setbacks he was now encountering.


    He was like high school students who received good grades in school at first but ended up receiving


    bad results in their university entrance exams and gave up on themselves.


    Lucian opened his eye and immediately saw Jonathan. His eye filled with hatred at once. At the same


    time, a murderous aura radiated from him in Jonathan''s direction.


    Jonathan furrowed his brows and smiled bitterly. “Lucian, I''vee here to resolve the grievances


    between us. After all, we were just fighting in the arena. It wasn''t personal, right?”


    Hearing his own words, even Jonathan felt he was spouting nonsense. However, he vowed to do what


    he said he would. There was no turning back.


    As expected, Lucian scoffed. “Resolve the grievances between us? And how would you do that? Are


    you going to give me a new eye orpensate me with one of yours?” He paused for a moment


    before continuing, “Lawson, I can''t believe you woulde to me today. I believe you already know


    who my grandfather is. If you want to beg for mercy now, you can go right ahead. Just kneel and knock


    your head against the floor thrice. Then, gouge out both of your eyes. Only then will I spare you.”


    “You''re all talk and no action.” Jonathan could not help it anymore, speaking in a direct and impolite


    manner.


    Lucian was stunned for a moment before he erupted in anger. “How dare you insult me!”


    Jonathan sighed and responded, “Lucian, it was just a small conflict between you and I. It really wasn''t


    anything serious. In the arena, you kept saying that you wanted to kill me. But when you reached the


    Nascent Soul level, did I ever sneak an attack on you? We were in the ring at the time. I could have


    killed you and imed all the glory, but I didn''t, and I''m not boasting about how great I was when by


    bringing this up. But you? You immediately wanted to kill me. Did you really think I wouldn''t defend


    myself when you tried to do that? In the end, I''d blinded you in one eye, but was it really my fault,


    though? I came here today thinking that I would spare you. However, you''re still ignorant and arrogant.


    Since this is your attitude, how do you expect me to allow you to live?”


    Lucian stood up suddenly. He seemed to havee to a realization. “Have youe here to kill me?”


    Jonathan sighed mildly. “You''ve left me with no other choice.”


    Lucian scoffed. “Aren''t you afraid of my grandpa?”


    Jonathan replied, “Your grandfather, Peacock King, is a master in the martial arts world. I do respect


    and venerate him for that. So what if I am afraid of him, though? If I let you go because I''m afraid of


    him, would you spare my life? I might as well get rid of you first instead of waiting for you and your


    grandfather toe and settle the score with me togetherter!”


    Lucian let out a dementedugh. “To think that a piece of trash like you could make such a tant


    threat against me! Do you really think that you could kill me all by yourself?”


    Jonathan did not want to waste any more of his breath. “Come at me, then!”


    With that, he rushed forward using his Antelope Rhythm skill, and in the blink of an eye, he released his


    Great Sage Force Field.


    The technique was so powerful that it could practically split the earth in half, and this incredible power


    was at this moment being directed at Lucian.


    Then Jonathanunched his Great Sage Seal at Lucian.


    Lucian turned pale in an instant. He had never thought that Jonathan had grown so powerful. If this


    was happening in the past when he still had both of his eyes, he might still have been able to hold his


    own against Jonathan. Back then, he was basically invincible because of his Nascent Soul cultivation.


    However, Lucian was now blind in one eye. Not only did that upset him, his own force field was also


    considerably weaker.


    Therefore, Lucian was finding it very challenging to defend himself against Jonathan''s Great Sage


    Seal.


    The force of the Great Sage Seal was enough to shatter the entire.


    However, behind Lucian was the bed, and there was no retreat. In a desperate move, he dashed to his


    left and crouched down, escaping from under Jonathan''s arm.


    Just then, Jonathan moved his feet, and what followed next was the Shadow Step technique.


    It was a technique that both he and Leonardo learned and was very useful.


    Combining it with his Antelope Rhythm, Jonathan hadprehended Shadow Step''s essence on a


    deep level.


    Jonathan''s greatest strength was his ability to learn new techniques.


    Regardless of whether it was the Mongrel Attack, Satin Palm, or Strike Back, it had taken him only one


    day to practice and master the technique.


    Jonathan had also managed to pick up Hector''s skill that was unique to cultivators at the Unification


    level just by observation.


    Of course, it was also all thanks to the fact that he already knew the Shadow Punch technique as well.


    Just as Lucian was evading Jonathan''s attack, Jonathan appeared in front of Lucian and blocked the


    latter''s path using Shadow Step. Then, using Mongrel Attack, he swung a kick at Lucian.


    Lucian''s face turned pale in horror as he quickly retreated.


    However, just as he took one step back, Jonathan dashed forward and activated his Great Sage Seal.


    Lucian shrieked in horror. He could do nothing other than to raise his hands helplessly and brace


    himself for the attack.


    Boom!


    As the attack struck Lucian''s palms, he could feel Jonathan''s vitality as a spiritual fighter rushing at him


    in torrents. It was powered by an unbreakable will and instantly crushed the strength within Lucian''s


    palms.


    Lucian immediately scuffled backward. His vitality was decreasing, and blood was gushing out from his


    orifices.


    Jonathan quickly rushed forward, his Dragon w immediately grabbing Lucian by the throat.


    “No!” A look of despair shed in Lucian''s eyes as he screamed miserably.


    At this moment, he was truly fearing for his life.


    Jonathan''s actions jerked to a halt as well.

    I really am not a bloodthirsty murderer. Should I really kill him?


    Lucian wailed in agony, his face smeared with tears and snot. “I was wrong, Jonathan! Please spare


    me! I promise I''ll never cross you again!”


    Jonathan sighed softly. He closed his eyes as he suddenly began to gather Force in his hands.


    Crack! Jonathan broke Lucian''s neck.


    And just like that, Lucian''s head rolled to the side, and he died on the spot.


    The Little Martial Sage, Lucian Yandell, was dead.


    With that, Jonathan turned around and walked away without looking back.


    There was a brief moment when he had hesitated to kill Lucian. However, Jonathan then remembered


    what kind of person Lucian really was. He had spared Lucian''s life once out of kindness, but Lucian


    immediately set out to kill him in the next second.


    Jonathan simply could not afford to give Lucian another chance.


    If he did, then Lucian would definitely hurt Jonathan''s loved ones and family members. Jonathan would


    never forgive himself if that were to happen.


    For their safety, I don''t care if I had to bear the burden of this sin.


    After killing Lucian, Jonathan proceeded to exit the resort.


    When Mabel and Polly saw Jonathan emerging from the entrance, they sighed in relief.


    Mabel said, “You didn''t spare him, did you? People like Lucian are very arrogant when they have


    power. Once they''re on the verge of death, though, they''re more afraid of dying than any ordinary


    person out there. You shouldn''t spare him even if he begged for mercy.”


    Jonathan nced at Mabel, impressed by how wise thetter was. Indeed, Mabel saw everything


    clearly.


    “He''s dead now,” said Jonathan. After a brief pause, he continued, “However, it''ll be a problem finding a


    ce to hide his body.”


    Mabel stated, “You don''t have to worry about that. I can get some guys to take care of that. Let''s go


    now. The military aircraft has arrived.”


    “All right!” Jonathan readily epted her suggestion.


    However, just as he and Mabel prepared to get in the car, Polly suddenly said, “Jonathan, Ms. Sandler.


    This is where we part ways for now. We shall meet again in the future.”


    Jonathan was slightly stunned upon hearing that. A part of him did not want Polly to leave. However,


    since she had made up her mind, he could only respect her decision.


    After all, Jonathan was a carefree person as well. Thus, he said, “Goodbye! Stay safe out there!”


    Nodding firmly, Polly responded, “I will. You take care as well!”


    Mabel waved her hand. “Goodbye!”


    After that, Polly turned around and left without hesitation.


    She looked incredibly cool as she walked away.


    “Ms. McDaniels is an amazing woman,” Mabel stated. “Jonathan, you''re really lucky to have known her.


    She''ll definitelye to your aid when you need it. What goes aroundes around, after all.”


    Jonathan understood that Mabel was talking about how he had helped Polly break through the Nascent


    Soul level. However, he responded with a hint of mncholy, “I''ve sinned enough for today, killing


    Leonardo and then Lucian. I''ll face retribution soon enough.”


    Mabel smiled. “You''re the Chosen One. You were never destined to live happily ever after. Just go with


    the flow. Come on! Let''s get in the car already!


    Once they got into the car, Mabel started the engine. Jonathan could not help but say, “Mabel, you


    should have told me that Leonardo had a crazy aunt! You know how powerful the Holy Bounds Sect is.


    Why didn''t you tell me that earlier? Maybe I wouldn''t have killed Leonardo if I''d known that and wouldn''t


    be having all this trouble now.”


    Mabel replied seriously, “First of all, you would have felt even more burdened if I told you. There was


    no telling if you could have won against Leonardo or not. Secondly, Leonardo would have kept seeking


    revenge even if you didn''t get rid of him. He would have told Bianca to kill you, and you wouldn''t have


    stood a chance against her. I still think it was the right move for you to end him once and for all. Thirdly,


    I really hope that you''vee to ept that what''s destined to happen will always happen eventually.


    I''m just here to set things in motion. Now, we should be on the same page, aren''t we?” Mabel smirked.


    “Well, okay!” Jonathan gave her a thumbs-up as he said that.


    The mother of all storms ising, and I''m caught in the middle of it all. I never wanted to involve


    myself, and yet I was drawn into it one step at a time. My fate is predetermined by the mysterious


    Heavenly Law.
