Chapter 1295

Although Seboxia occasionally devoured the life force of those who battled with Jonathan, the cultivation levels of those people were not high, with the majority being in the Grandmaster Realm.

The very few of them were mostly old men when they reached God Realm under such a vast environment.

Thus, these people barely had much life force to begin with, so how could they possibly satisfy Seboxia’s immense demand?

Absorbing the life force of those people could only be considered better than nothing for Seboxia.

It was just like the saying “One would be bored out of one’s mind”, so he might as well do it since he had nothing much to do.

Moreover, although Seboxia resided within Jonathan with certain intentions, he had also released life force to save Jonathan several times.

The essence of life isn’t something that could be casually absorbed from the air. It required a great deal of time to cultivate.

Even for Seboxia, these vital life forces were rare and fascinating treasures.

And these were precisely the reasons why he could live over a thousand years, and still maintain his undying essence.

When Seboxia gave these life forces to Jonathan, it could be seen that there was definitely a shocking conspiracy in his plan for Jonathan.

It was merely a side task when he used Jonathan to absorb the life force of those on the brink of death.

But today, after taking Roy’s life force, Seboxia felt like a lonely traveler in the desert, who had been thirsty for a long time, and suddenly got a drink of water.

At this moment, Seboxia’s yearning for life force was like a mighty lion yearning to break free from its cage. It was an urge that could no longer be suppressed.

“Kill!”

With a casual remark, Seboxia appeared behind another cultivator.

Six arms gripped the cultivator’s body. With a forceful tear, Seboxia split him in two, as easily as if he were tearing a piece of paper.

“It’s not enough. His life force is too weak!”

At this moment, Seboxia was like a child who had just tasted candy, harboring an indescribable fascination for more life force.

Even Jonathan had never seen Seboxia in such a state before.

Although he was not entirely certain, a vague sense of foreboding began to rise in Jonathan’s heart.

“Why do I feel like something’s off with Seboxia?”

Jonathan pulled Hayden and rushed downwards, using the Divine Chessboard to teleport Stellario who was surrounded by many people.

At this point, Stellario had reached his limit. He was being dragged by Jonathan by the collar, and he had completely lost the strength to dispel the magic. He could only let countless poisonous insects crawl incessantly on his body.

Jonathan looked at his own arm with a grim expression. At this moment, all he could do was to continuously create layers of spirit energy shields between himself and Stellario, in order to block the attacks of those poisonous insects.

“Roy is dead, Joshua! Hurry up and run towards Neil’s direction.”

As Hayden ran, he shouted loudly at Joshua and the other two.

The governor was dead, the deputy governor’s arm was severed, and the head of the spiritual control cultivator was blown off. Such outcomes were enough to plunge the entire North Outer City into chaos.

Their mission could be said to have been accomplished exceptionally well. Now, all that remained was to follow Neil’s earlier instructions and rush to his side to retreat.

Jonathan still remembered that Neil had made it very clear at the time. He must rush to his side the moment he succeeded. If he were even a moment late, he wouldn’t wait for them at all.

At this moment, with Roy’s death and Seboxia’s abnormal behavior, everyone was still in shock and hadn’t recovered. In a way, it was the perfect time to retreat.

Six figures retreated from the battle circle, using Joshua’s Troop Summoner to summon the war spirits to temporarily block the cultivators from North Outer City. All of them rushed in the direction of Neil.

Just then, a luminous white glow emanated from Neil’s brocade robe.

“Thank you all…”

Neil, with a hearty laugh, spoke to Jonathan and the others.

As the fluctuations of the arcane array echoed, Neil vanished before everyone’s eyes in an instant.

Biting his teeth, Jonathan reached out, trying to grasp the corner of Neil’s clothes, but he was still a step too late.

Neil vanished as if he had never showed up at all.

With a firm grip, Jonathan flung the severely injured Stellario onto the ground, causing him to take a nasty tumble.

“D*mn it!”

With a murderous glint in his eyes, Jonathan stood up, his hand smashing down towards the earth.

“I’ve been playing with fire all my life, and today, of all days, I got burned!”

“Neil! You’d better make sure I never see you again!”

The roar accompanying the spiritual energy fluctuations reverberated throughout the governor’s residence.

No matter how loud the voice was, or how intense Jonathan’s anger was, it was nothing more than impotent rage.

“I now understand why he wanted us to run to his side.”

Kathleen was drenched in blood and panting heavily. Yet, she managed to light a cigarette for herself.

“From the very beginning, he never intended to let us leave this place alive. He’s at the center, so drawing us in was merely to ensure that we’re right in the middle of the encirclement one last time.”

“This guy really has a wicked heart.”

Joshua held Troop Summoner in his hand, his gaze icy as he watched the surrounding cultivators who were eyeing him like tigers.

“We can’t leave. There’s absolutely no way we could leave this place even if Sir Seboxia were to help us.”

“This is the governor’s residence in North Outer City which is located at the heart of the city.”

“Even if we manage to escape from here, we will be pursued endlessly.”

“If tens of thousands of God Realm cultivators surround and intercept us, we’re all going to die.”

Then, countless footsteps could be heard continuously from outside the small garden like it was confirming Joshua’s words.

Subsequently, at least five hundred God Realm cultivators clad in standard battle armor appeared around the small garden.

These individuals, each armed with bows and spears, remained silent. Their demeanor was such that they seemed like a collection of mannequins.

At this moment, Celestus had already left the compound of the small garden. A cold smirk surfaced on his face seeing the armored cultivators appearing around him.

“The governor of Northern Outer City, Roy Carmichael, has been killed, and the culprits are these outlanders standing before us.”

“These people have numerous strategies. Our goal is to end the battle with minimal casualties and to avenge Governor Carmichael.”

“Attention all Black Armor soldiers, spare no one in the garden!”

As Celestus spoke, the black-armored cultivators picked up their crossbows one by one, aiming directly at the people inside.

The uniformity of the movements instantly startled the death soldiers in the garden.

“Deputy governor, we are on the same side…”

“I know who you are!” Celestus sneered at those people, “But I also know that those bugs can infest your bodies.”

“If you’re being manipulated by any chance, or have contracted some deadly poison, it could bring about a greater disaster for the North Outer City.”

“So, it’s best if you stay put and don’t cause any trouble for everyone’s safety.”

“Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as getting shot!”
