Chapter 1252
The Legendary Man
Even a cultivator was constrained by their human physiology.
After Jonathanâs major artery on his neck was pierced, he blacked out almost immediately.
As he lost a massive amount of blood, the energy within his body was also sapped away.
Lowering his head, Jonathan staggered to the ground. Before he could react, a spear had already stabbed into his circulatory system.
Whoosh!
Following the sonic boom, another spear flew straight toward the one lodged in Jonathanâs body, exploding it into pieces.
Jonathan was impacted by the scattered spiritual energy. As a result, his body flew backward before he crashed into the ground.
âYou shouldnât have been ambushed like this.â Seboxiaâs voice rang inside Jonathanâs head.
When Seboxia injected life force into Jonathanâs body, light returned to the latterâs vision.
Jonathan felt reinvigorated as his neck wound rapidly recovered and his blood flowed into his brain again. Swiftly, he leaped to the side.
Squatting on a ridge, he scowled.
He glanced downward at the black spear that saved his life before shifting his attention to Merilyn, who was pinned to the ground. In an instant, he understood what had happened. âI need to save Merilyn, Seboxia.â
Even if Merilyn hadnât used her spear to destroy the one embedded in Jonathan, the latter likely wouldâve survived.
However, Merilyn still saved him.
Thus, he owed her.
Even though he had been treating her as a burden, he believed he must return the favor.
âLetâs go,â said Jonathan. Even though Merilynâs not dead yet while pinned to the ground, her circulatory system has been injured. Her death will only be a matter of time unless I save her.
The five-man group that Jonathan sent flying earlier had caught back up to him.
Jonathan had already noticed Hayden was fighting an uphill battle at the bottom of the slope and the figures rushing toward the mountaintop.
The enemies Hayden encountered was a team of nine.
A dozen people blitzed toward the peak of the mountain and surrounded Jonathan with their weapons.
The cultivator who almost slayed Jonathan earlier scampered toward a middle-aged man and whispered, âMr. Newmont, this guyâs pretty weird. Even though I pierced his neck, he recovered in a matter of seconds.â
The middle-aged man known as Newmont narrowed his eyes at Jonathanâs neck. âTo think you also possess medicine to bring back the dead. Iâm surprised. If you hand the medicine over to me, I promise youâll receive a swift death. What do you think?â
Even a cultivator was constrained by their human physiology.
Jonathan straightened his body and started moving his shoulders. âLike h*ll I will!â
âIâm bringing the one at the bottom and the one lying on the ground over there away. Hand them to me, and Iâll spare you. If one of them dies, Iâll turn you into mincemeat.â With a sneer, he removed Heaven Sword from his storage ring.
His fury had reached its peak when he saw Merilyn on the verge of death and Hayden being surrounded. Ever since the day I started my journey as a cultivator, Iâve been fighting nonstop. I faced Divine Realm cultivators in West Region and was pursued by Sanctuary in Remdik in the past. Yet, even when Iâm escaping from them, Iâve never been forced into this wretched situation. Ever since I entered this small world, my powers have been restricted, and I canât utilize any Pryncyps. Additionally, the local cultivators here are so terrifying that they make me want to escape on reflex every time. This feeling bloody sucks. There are so many times when I almost forgot what itâs like to have a proper battle. I was even saved by a local whom I thought was a burden, and now Iâm being threatened by so many people. This burning wrath of mine has reawakened my battle spirit. My title as Asura isnât just for decoration!
Threads of cold malevolent aura emerged from around Jonathanâs body.
That aura wasnât spiritual energy or Pryncyp. Therefore, it didnât have to abide by the small worldâs rule.
It was an accumulation of the resentment of his victims right before they died by his hand over the years.
Suddenly, it was as though the temperature of the mountaintop dropped by dozens of degrees. The crowd experienced goosebumps when the malevolent aura passed through them.
âThis auraâ¦â Newmont stared at Jonathan, stunned. What is this frigid malevolent aura? Is this outsider a demon? How many living beings did he need to kill for his aura to reach this level?
Even though there were one hundred and eight villages in the small world, their combined population was only around three million people.
The most violent rampage in the small world was committed by an Outer City envoy when he murdered a village of around twenty thousand residents. That was already considered a staggering number of death.
Jonathan straightened his body and started moving his shoulders. âLike h*ll I will!â
After Jonathan started leading Asuraâs Office to maintain peace in Chanaea, it took him three years of killing to intimidate everyone.
After Jonathan started leading Asuraâs Office to maintain peace in Chanaea, it took him three years of killing to intimidate everyone.
As such, more than a million people had died in his hand.
Many who perished didnât know who exactly killed them. However, they knew that Asuraâs Office was helmed by a single person, Asura.
Thus, the hatred of a million dead people silently bound itself to Jonathan.
It was likely that Jonathanâs malevolent aura was unparalleled in the world.
His malevolent aura fanned out at lightning speed, causing the nearby flora to wither. It was an incredibly evil power and the antithesis of all life.
Just as the crowd was about to retreat because they couldnât figure out who Jonathan was, an immense life force appeared. It thrust itself into Jonathanâs meridians.
âBe mindful of your action. Donât let the malevolent aura devour you.â As if Seboxiaâs voice was laced with magic, it snapped Jonathan out of his anger.
The moment Jonathan returned to his senses, Newmont exclaimed, âDonât be intimidated by his act!
Kill him!â
Upon receiving Newmontâs order, the natives beside him darted toward Jonathan with blades.
As arrogant as Jonathan was, he was only a God Realm cultivator.
At that moment, all his adversaries were of the same cultivation level as him. Therefore, it would be a piece of cake for them to kill him.
Jonathan didnât have time to think as he faced multiple threats. Reflexively, he hopped to the side.
Without delay, he swung his Heaven Sword and blocked the blades directed at him.
He leaped, used Heaven Sword to lop off the head of one of the combatants, and fled without hesitation.
Ever since the sage in Merilynâs village recognized Heaven Sword as Devil Slaying Sword, Jonathan had been refraining from using it.
It was because he didnât want to attract troubles.
At that moment, though, he was encircled. Thus, he couldnât care less about that.
The crowd was shocked as they watched blood spurting from the dead manâs neck.
Obviously, cultivators wouldnât admit they were weaker than their peers of the same cultivation level.
However, they all saw Jonathan killing one of their own with a slash.
Jonathan took the lead thanks to his weapon.
