Chapter 183


    Simon had nned everything. It was evident that he went to catch some snakes when he


    disappeared.


    As Jungle King, he could turn anything in the jungle into a weapon.


    An intense murderous force field enveloped Jonathan.


    It was so strong that his killing intent almost swallowed Jonathan''s soul.


    At that critical moment, Jonathan reacted swiftly. Just when he was shrouded with darkness, a sense of


    fury surged within his heart.


    The power of the Great Sage Force Field had been unleashed.


    Truthfully, the Great Sage Force Field originated from the power of the legendary Great Sage. Whoever


    tried to oppress Jonathan would end up facing stronger resistance from him. His eyes turned blood-red.


    Within a second, a powerful, tremendous force field burst forth.


    That was the most incredible strength that one had ever seen.


    In that instant, he broke open Simon''s deadly aura.


    Before he could think any further, he made up his mind to activate the power of his Haemocore.


    With that, a force weighing two thousand kilograms was released from his body.


    Simon was in the final stage of Nascent Soul.


    Hence, if Jonathan did not release his Haemocore strength, he would never get to withstand Simon''s


    attack.


    Right then, Jonathan only thought of retreating. He took a big step backward, as that was the only thing


    he could do.


    Simon was wearing the golden brass knuckles, and they were too powerful that Jonathan could not


    force himself to fight with the former.


    Moreover, Simon''s movements were as fast as bolts of lightning. He continued attacking like a tornado,


    leaving no chance for Jonathan to defend himself. He swung his golden brass knuckles toward


    Jonathan, creating a series of afterimages.


    It was a crucial moment, and Jonathan did not have time to catch his breath.


    In the end, Jonathan got suppressed by Simon. After all, Simon was moving too fast. Jonathan did not


    have the chance to use Antelope Rhythm or Shadow Step even if he wanted to.


    Everything happened in a sh.


    Unfortunately, Jonathan could not back away anymore. The more he retreated, the closer Simon


    followed him. With that, he would be further and further away from Catherine. In that case, it


    would be more difficult for Catherine to save him. If he continued to back away for even three more


    steps, Simon would send him flying with only a punch.


    Hence, Jonathan stopped moving. He took a small step backward and stood still. Although Simon


    continued to approach him, he did not budge at all.


    He was as steady as a rock, exuding a peaceful, calm aura around him.


    In the blink of an eye, Simon arrived in front of him. He swung his fists fiercely toward Jonathan''s eyes.


    As soon as Jonathan stopped moving, Simon''s fists were already aimed right at the former''s eyes. With


    a scoff, Jonathan delivered Satin Palm, the attack he learned from Polly.


    He held his fingers tight, sending intense energy toward Simon. A momentter, an electric spark


    spiked in Simon''s armpits.


    Jonathan had made an unconventional and risky move. If Simon''s golden brass knucklesnded on his


    eyes, he would turn blind. Even so, if he managed to stab Simon''s armpits with his fingers, Simon''s


    arms would break.

    That was a ssic move he had learned from the history.


    Since he could not fight with Simon''s golden brass knuckles, that was his only option.


    The two made their following movements quickly, trying to get each other''s vital points.


    Jonathan was facing higher riskspared to Simon, though. If his attack was slightly dyed, Simon


    could have already smashed his head into pieces. Regardless, Jonathan would be able to break


    Simon''s arms.


    Although it seemed like Jonathan was taking a risk, he was, in fact, confident about himself because he


    knew how much Simon wanted to enter Divine Realm. After all, Divine Realm only wanted the most


    talented people. If Simon''s arms turned crippled, he could not be valuable to Divine Realm anymore.


    Therefore, Simon would never want to take the risk.


    As expected, at this moment, Simon grabbed Jonathan''s arm with Grappling Technique with a flick of


    his wrists.


    Right then, Jonathan finally had the time to take a breather. His expression was grim. Simrly, he


    twisted his wrists and changed his attack to Dragon w.


    Dragon w Grab!


    His fingers were sharp like swords, releasing cold, terrifying sword energy. If he managed to grab


    Simon''s body at that moment, he would break thetter''s bones and tendons in no time.


    Simon snorted as a cold glint shed across his eyes. Jonathan''s heart sank when he heard that. He


    felt utterly terrible as if Simon''s killing intent had entered his heart.


    In that case, Jonathan''s movement got slowed down again.


    Simon''s Grappling Technique was not as ruthless as Jonathan''s attack. All of a sudden, he shed his


    fists with Jonathan''s palms.


    It turned out that the golden brass knuckles on his fists were too powerful. Since Jonathan''s movement


    was already dyed, he no longer had the time to change into another attack. Reluctantly, he had no


    choice but to retract his arms.


    Atst, Simon''s fistnded on Jonathan''s palm, leaving a bloody, deep cut on it.


    Blood was sttered everywhere.


    Boom! Even so, Simon did not n to stop as he threw another punch at Jonathan''s head without


    hesitation.


    With that, Jonathan was in danger again. Fortunately, he had an upper hand in that situation. The more


    in danger he was, the more rxed he became. Right when his palm got injured, he exerted a force on


    his feet. He stretched his leg and threw a kick toward Simon''s abdomen.


    Upon seeing that, Simon instantly turned pale. It was then that he finally understood how terrifying


    Jonathan was. Jonathan''s attacks were too brilliant, and his movements were always that agile. Those


    were the reasons why he was still alive now.


    Moreover, Simon did not dare to imagine whether he would be that powerful if he ended up in


    Jonathan''s shoe today.


    First, Jonathan had turned the tide by using his Satin Palm out of the blue, which was an impressive


    move.


    His kick was even more splendid. It was as if he had predicted all of those to happen.


    Simon took a step backward. At that moment, he decided to give up on killing Jonathan. Turning


    around, he rushed toward the jungle without hesitation.


    He knew that his n to kill Jonathan had failed, and Catherine would be there soon. If Catherine and


    Jonathan fought against him together, he would be in deep trouble.


    In fact, the battle between Jonathan and Simon hadsted only about a second. Everything happened


    so fast that it seemed as though nothing had happened. If an ordinary person watched their fight from


    the side, they would only see Simon rushing forward and disappearing into the jungle in the next


    second.


    Not long after, Catherine walked over to Jonathan. She looked at him, asking nonchntly, “Are you


    okay?”


    Jonathan could not clench his hand as the bone-deep scars on his palm were too deep and painful.


    ck blood oozed out from his palm, dripping on the dry sand.


    Catherine immediately noticed his bloody face, and the color drained from her face. “You''re hurt?”


    Jonathan spread his arms out. He knew that the golden brass knuckles were poisonous, but the poison


    was not harmful to him.


    Nevertheless, Jonathan was still in dire straits.


    Those deep cuts had destroyed his nervous system, so he could no longer use that hand to fight


    anymore.


    If he ended up in another battle with Simon, he would be nothing but crippled.


    There was no way that he could defeat Simon with only one hand.


    Furthermore, he thought of another possibility, too.


    If Simon went to catch ten more snakes and attacked him again like how he did just now, Jonathan


    would never be able to block Simon''s attacks.


    In that case, death would be the only oue.


    If Simon could kill Jonathan, it would mean Catherine was no match for Simon.


    Simon''sbat techniques and cultivation were much more powerful than Catherine''s.


    While Jonathan was deep in his thoughts, Catherine tore her sleeves to bandage Jonathan''s wound


    with it.


    Although her fair, delicate arm was revealed, she was unbothered.


    There was a serious look on her face when she was treating his wound.


    Jonathan was stunned for a second. Though surprised, a sense of warmth surged within his heart.


    After treating Jonathan''s wound, Catherine stood beside him silently and motionlessly while Jonathan


    controlled his vitality to stop the blood from flowing.


    Although he could stop the bleeding, he could not heal the wound in such a short time. Hence, he had


    to rest for at least five days.


    “Catherine, I''ll have to rely on you if Simon attacks us again. Otherwise, both of us will die,” he said.


    Catherine remained silent for a while before nodding.


    Jonathan let out a sigh. He knew Catherine was not used to attacking. Thus, his words only made her


    feel pressured. Unfortunately, he had no other choices.


    Soon, Jonathan and Catherine arrived in front of the still-unconscious Elijah and Lesley.


    Crouching, Jonathan massaged their foreheads. Within a second, they woke up.


    As soon as Lesley regained his consciousness, he sat up abruptly. “Jonathan, Simon is here...”


    Immediately, he noticed the bandage on Jonathan''s palm.


    “Jonathan, you''re injured too?” he asked, feeling stupefied.


    Elijah was shocked as well. “Jonathan, are you okay?”


    Jonathan shed a wry smile. “We couldn''t initiate that many attacks because Simon was wearing his


    golden brass knuckles.”


    “Even you''re injured, as well,” Lesley muttered. Right then, both Elijah and he looked pessimistic. “It


    seems we''ll all die here this time.”


    Jonathan sat cross-legged. “Let''s do our best and leave the rest in God''s hands.”


    After finishing his words, he closed his eyes. That was Jonathan''s style. No matter how dangerous the


    situation was, he would never lose hope.


    As he calmed himself down, he recalled his movements during the battle with Simon just now. He


    thought of how sturdy he was, even though he was cornered by Simon. At that moment, he looked like


    a great empire standing still on his feet, no matter how powerful Simon''s attacks were.


    Great Emperor Seal!


    Suddenly, Jonathan came up with a new attack.


    Great Sage Seal was a powerful attack, while Great Emperor Seal was the calmest power he would


    ever possess.


    If he could use both seals at the same time, he could make a perfectbo attack.


    Elijah, Lesley, and Catherine fell silent upon realizing that Jonathan was cultivating; they did not want to


    disturb him.


    Jonathan demonstrated Great Emperor Seal again and again in his mind.


    Great Emperor Seal was not abat technique. Instead, it was a cultivation stage and aura.


    An actual great emperor would remain calm and collected, no matter how sessful he was. Even


    though he was facing an attack from different directions, he would still remain courageous.


    Besides, a great emperor was a man who was capable of epting and controlling everything in the


    world. That was the essence of Great Emperor Seal.


    After a while, Jonathan tried to understand the power of Requiem in his mind. All of a sudden, a


    Syble Power appeared.


    It was then covered by the spiritual imprints of Great Emperor Seal.


    Instantly, that Syble Power possessed a spirituality of its own.


    Jonathan used the power of that to mobilize the vigor in his body.


    Release the vigor!


    That was a step he had to experience during the middle stage of Nascent Soul.


    The vigor in Jonathan''s body began to move under the attack of Syble Power. It spread throughout


    his body gradually beforebining with his blood.


    Then it purified and refined his blood.


    After some time, Jonathan opened his eyes abruptly.


    His eyes were brimming brightly.


    It turned out that he had achieved a miraculous breakthrough at that moment. Therefore, he was now a


    professional fighter in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
