Chapter 525


    Chapter 525 The Old Geezer Exploded


    “You asked for it!” Supporting himself against the brick wall that had cracked and copsed, Garrison


    slowly rose to his feet.


    “Although I have known that your cultivation level is high and you’re a rare talent, it seems that the


    Osborne family has underestimated you, Jonathan. Since you refuse to submit, let me eliminate this


    obstacle for the family!”


    While saying that, Garrison lifted his left hand and pressed his fingers against his right arm hard. A


    sh of pure spiritual energy flitted across Jonathan’s eyes. Garrison didn’t activate his force field this


    time. Thanks to the augmentation of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy under the surface of his skin


    became distinctly visible.


    Ah, the triple energizer meridians! As Jonathan clocked the positions of Garrison’s fingers, his lips


    curved into a smile. Those five acupoints governed the cirction 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 of


    blood, 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 dered, cackling manically.


    His teeth that were stained scarlet by blood appeared horrendously ghastly. “Since you refuse to let me


    go, you can only die here!”


    With a cry from Garrison, a bronze-colored bell appeared in his left hand. When Jonathan sensed the


    ominous aura on the bell, his heart lurched. Seemingly on reflex, he activated his force field and


    backed away.


    “You want to flee now? It’s toote!” 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’s


    finger 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, it


    couldn’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 suffer


    a shockwave while their spiritual sense dispersed. “Die!”


    Garrison gave a loud roar upon seeing that Jonathan’s force field was unstable. In a sh, he streaked


    over to thetter. “Converge!”


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


    As Garrison struck the protective barrier of spiritual energy, Jonathan endured the spasms of spiritual


    energy within his mind and flicked his right hand imperceptibly. At once, more than a dozen boulders


    rose behind the former. Flying forward so fast that they became afterimages, they shot right at the back


    of Garrison’s head.


    “It’s not going to work!”


    Rays of golden light manifested around Garrison unceasingly. When the swift boulders were an inch


    away, 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 the


    bell in his left hand.


    “Shield!”


    The Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique was whirring at warp speed within Jonathan. Rays of golden


    energy 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 spiritual


    sense 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 an


    afterimage. “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.


    “sh!”


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


    invisible de in his right hand.


    A single strike from him severed Garrison’s right arm. s, Jonathan was a step toote. The severed


    palm 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 artificialke dozens of


    meters away.


    His meridians were severed, and his skin was yed into a bloodied mess. Having fallen into theke,


    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 with


    engravings of an arcane array, arge 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 to


    die, huh?


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


    theke.


    He wanted to swim to the shore, but the shockwave earlier made it so difficult that he couldn’t exert an


    ounce 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 disappearing


    into his body.


    Just when Jonathan had already resigned himself to his fate, a figure dived into theke. In the next


    second, he felt someone seizing hold of his cor, 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 would


    have been a piece of cake for him to even stay in the water for several hours as long as he held his


    breath.


    However, he couldn’t use any spiritual energy at all because of the recoil of that strange,rge bell. If


    he 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 was


    holding 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 shouted


    anxiously upon seeing that Jonathan’s limbs werepletely limp.


    “Well, I’m not dead yet!” Jonathan replied as he panted heavily. By then, he was already seemingly


    paralyzed 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 mention


    Garrison. Nheless, 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 thetter was someone who was willing to follow him


    andunch 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 the


    Osborne family?” Jonathan asked worriedly.


    Although he had taught the Eight Kings of War some cultivation techniques from the Ancient Sacred


    Dragon 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 definitely


    perish. Andy alone is no match for that old geezer.


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