The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 1300-Although the rest of them also suffered varying degrees of internal injuries, fortunately, there werenât any major issues. All they needed was a bit of rest and recuperation.
Under the empowerment of the life force, Hayden slowly regained consciousness.
âJoshua, Mr. Goldstein⦠What happened to meâ¦â
âYou wonât die.â Stellarioâs cold laughter rang out, interrupting Hayden. âWith your skill in drawing formations, he wonât let you die.â
Jonathan looked at Stellario coldly.
The latter managed to twist Jonathanâs act of saving Hayden into a purely profit-driven action with that simple sentence.
One had to admit every member of the eight respectable families was not simple to deal with.
âBefore he revealed his talent for drawing formations, Asuraâs Office had already formed an alliance with the Zink family. Hayden has always been there to help me and Joshua. If you think you can sow discord between us with just some nonsense, I suggest you think again.â
Even though Jonathan exposed Stellarioâs intentions on the spot, Stellario didnât get mad. He simply walked to the edge of the coffin and knocked on the coffin board.
âWeâve arrived at our destination. Isnât it time to open this thing? If we donât act now and the Black Armor Legion from the governorâs residence comes after us, wouldnât all our hardships be in vain?â
Although Stellarioâs words were layered with hidden meanings, he was telling the truth.
At that moment, everyone gathered themselves, drawing their weapons one after another, their gazes fixed on Jonathan.
Joshua looked at Jonathan, then gave a slight nod. âOpen the coffin now. If we delay any longer, we might really lose our chance to leave North Outer City.â
Under the gaze of everyone, Jonathan slowly stood up. âActually⦠I donât know how to open the coffinâ¦â
With a dry laugh, Jonathan turned to the crowd and spoke.
Silence as profound as death filled the air inside the coffin.
Holding the small black dagger, Stellario asked in a cold voice, âWhat do you mean? You donât know how to open the coffin?â
âI mean it in the literal sense.â Jonathan watched as the few people in front of him slowly backed away.
âThis coffin belongs to Seboxia. I have no idea how to control it.â
âJonathan!â Kathleen shouted and lifted her foot, aiming a kick straight at Jonathanâs neck.
Jonathan extended his hand in front of him, gently swiping Kathleenâs leg to the side.
Then, with a sway of his body, he dodged the black dagger in Stellarioâs hand and retreated to a corner of the coffin.
âHey! You must have a conscience. After all, it was I who saved your lives!â
âBullsh*t! Youâve locked us in this coffin. We donât know whotâs hoppening outside. Weâre still going to die now.â Stellorio looked ot Jonothon with o gloomy expression, no longer conceoling his murderous intent.
Ever since the incident ot Mount Boisvisto, Seboxio hod monoged to control neorly o third of the porosites in Stellorioâs body using his life force, leoving Stellorio utterly devoid of ony freedom.
Now thot Stellorio wos bound by the life force, Seboxio could let Stellorio die from the bites of countless insects with just o single thought.
Yet, such o situotion mysteriously vonished within the governorâs residence just now.
Stellorio suspected thot motter wos definitely reloted to Seboxioâs uncontrolloble rompoge.
Moreover, the foilure of Seboxioâs restroining borrier offected more thon just those.
The restroining borriers creoted by Seboxio were originolly constructed from the life force. When the life force lost its constroints, it did not dissipote. Insteod, it entered the porosite eggs in o very peculior monner.
At thot time, Stellorio wos in on utterly pothetic stote in the smoll gorden. He couldnât even wolk by himself ond needed Jonothonâs ossistonce.
The reoson wos thot ofter he used the forbidden technique, the Insect Seo, the insect eggs originolly suppressed within his body by Seboxio showed signs of revivol.
In o situotion where he hod no other choice, the spirituol energy thot originolly sustoined his body functions hod to be fully mobilized to suppress those insect eggs thot hod undergone chonges.
Cleorly, some sort of chonge hod occurred in those insect eggs. Otherwise, they wouldnât hove given Stellorio such o hord time.
Seboxio, for reosons unknown, wos now bound by severol choins, which finolly put Stellorio ot eose.
He would no longer hove ony reservotions to confront Jonothon ot thot moment.
Seeing thot Stellorio wos serious, Joshuo finolly let go of Hoyden ond stood between Stellorio ond Jonothon. âStellorio, think corefully. Putting oside whether you con motch up ogoinst Jonothon or not, even if you reolly monoge to kill Jonothon, do you think you con get out of here?â
âItâs just o coffin. No motter how hord it is, itâs still mode of wood. My porosites con definitely get out,â
Stellorio replied confidently.
Meonwhile, Joshuo cosuolly pulled out o lorge mogicol sober. Spirituol energy surged in his orms, ond he directly sloshed it ogoinst the inner woll of the coffin.
A series of sporks floshed, ond unexpectedly, the sober in Joshuoâs hond wos jolted out of his grip.
âBullsh*t! Youâve locked us in this coffin. We donât know whatâs happening outside. Weâre still going to die now.â Stellario looked at Jonathan with a gloomy expression, no longer concealing his murderous intent.
Ever since the incident at Mount Boisvista, Seboxia had managed to control nearly a third of the parasites in Stellarioâs body using his life force, leaving Stellario utterly devoid of any freedom.
Now that Stellario was bound by the life force, Seboxia could let Stellario die from the bites of countless insects with just a single thought.
Yet, such a situation mysteriously vanished within the governorâs residence just now.
Stellario suspected that matter was definitely related to Seboxiaâs uncontrollable rampage.
Moreover, the failure of Seboxiaâs restraining barrier affected more than just those.
The restraining barriers created by Seboxia were originally constructed from the life force. When the life force lost its constraints, it did not dissipate. Instead, it entered the parasite eggs in a very peculiar manner.
At that time, Stellario was in an utterly pathetic state in the small garden. He couldnât even walk by himself and needed Jonathanâs assistance.
The reason was that after he used the forbidden technique, the Insect Sea, the insect eggs originally suppressed within his body by Seboxia showed signs of revival.
In a situation where he had no other choice, the spiritual energy that originally sustained his body functions had to be fully mobilized to suppress those insect eggs that had undergone changes.
Clearly, some sort of change had occurred in those insect eggs. Otherwise, they wouldnât have given Stellario such a hard time.
Seboxia, for reasons unknown, was now bound by several chains, which finally put Stellario at ease.
He would no longer have any reservations to confront Jonathan at that moment.
Seeing that Stellario was serious, Joshua finally let go of Hayden and stood between Stellario and Jonathan. âStellario, think carefully. Putting aside whether you can match up against Jonathan or not, even if you really manage to kill Jonathan, do you think you can get out of here?â
âItâs just a coffin. No matter how hard it is, itâs still made of wood. My parasites can definitely get out,â
Stellario replied confidently.
Meanwhile, Joshua casually pulled out a large magical saber. Spiritual energy surged in his arms, and he directly slashed it against the inner wall of the coffin.
A series of sparks flashed, and unexpectedly, the saber in Joshuaâs hand was jolted out of his grip.
Joshuaâs hands were cracked at the base of his thumbs, and fresh blood continuously dripped down from his trembling fingertips.
âWhat do you mean by this?â Stellario and the others were all taken aback by Joshuaâs sudden action.
Meanwhile, Joshua waved his hand, using his spiritual energy to lift the searchlight and shine it toward the spot he had just slashed at. âStellario, do you really think your parasite can be tougher than a high-
grade magical item?â
Several people looked toward Joshua, only to see that there wasnât even a single trace left on the inner wall of the coffin in front of him.
Meanwhile, Kathleen, who had picked up the high-grade magical item, noticed that the saber was already cracked.
Such a scene caused everyoneâs faces to change drastically.
The fact that the coffin could withstand the explosion of the missile didnât surprise anyone. After all, no one had ever measured how a full-force strike from a God Realm cultivator would compare to a firearm.
However, everyone was well aware of Joshuaâs strength.
Stellario, in disbelief, walked up to the inner edge of the coffin. He then drew out the ancestral dagger of the Mallory family and stabbed it into the coffin.
A grating noise echoed through the air as Stellario exerted all his strength into a single strike. Not only did it fail to leave even the slightest mark on the coffin, but it also recoiled with an incredibly strong force.
âThisâ¦â
Stellario gritted his teeth, casting a glance at Jonathan next to him. He wanted to make a move, but all he could do was take a deep breath and sit down on the side. âDonât tell me weâre going to suffocate to death in this coffin and perish alongside Seboxia!â
At that point, Jonathan knew things werenât looking good, but the only way he could think of to escape from the governorâs residence was that.
Even though he regretted it now, if given the chance to turn back time, Jonathan would still make the same choice.
As for that coffin, Jonathan would naturally not sit idly by and do nothing.
Walking up to the bound figure of Seboxia in the center, Jonathan furrowed his brows.
âSeboxia forged this coffin to resist celestial enigma. No matter the techniqueâs complexity, itâs ultimately still a combination of formations. Since itâs a formation, there must certainly be a way to control it. Since thereâs no other way, Iâll delve into Seboxiaâs consciousness field to search for it now. If I die, you all should find your own way out!â
