Roar!
A loud roar sounded as soon as the Dark Tortoise’s form appeared.
A sudden, powerful surge of spiritual energy hit Jonathan like a truck and sent him flying backward again.
“Not again!” Stellario exclaimed while conjuring up some spiritual energy to intercept Jonathan.
Unfortunately, that did nothing as the two flew backward and crashed into the dent that Jonathan had created earlier.
The sword in Jonathan’s hand ended up falling into the old man’s hand, too.
Footsteps sounded from the corridor behind them.
The old man calmly retracted the Dark Tortoise form before the villagers emerged behind him.
Merilyn, who was wearing a wide cape, asked, “What happened here?”
She had always been ostracized since she was little because her appearance did not match the villagers’ beauty standards. Since she did not have many friends, she had no choice but to focus on her cultivation.
Although the villagers had yet to change their opinion of her appearance, she had earned the respect of all the men there with her capability. Eventually, she was allowed to lead a team of her own.
Among the villagers that arrived, Merilyn was the only one qualified to ask the old sage questions.
The old sage tightened his grip on Heaven Sword as he stared at Jonathan and Stellario, who were both severely wounded and lying on the ground.
“These two tried to leave without permission after finding out about our village’s secret. On top of that, they have also killed many of our villagers. Their crimes call for punishment!”
He then turned toward Merilyn and continued, “These two are spies pretending to be outsiders. We should kill them to be on the safe side.”
“Understood!” Merilyn replied with a nod as she took off her heavy robe and retrieved a short sword from her storage bag.
She was making her way toward Jonathan and Stellario with the blade in hand when a calm voice rang out from inside the cave.
“Jonathan, isn’t it about time you let me kill these people?”
Everyone at the scene froze in shock when they heard that.
They quickly glanced about but were unable to see anyone. Meanwhile, the old sage’s pupils constricted in shock as he stared at Heaven Sword.
One end of a fine, green line could be seen floating above the hilt.
As the sage shifted his gaze toward the other end, he saw that it was coming from Jonathan’s right hand.
“Kill them… Kill them all…” Jonathan said weakly while leaning against Stellario.
Had Stellario not caught him mid-flight earlier, Jonathan’s bones would probably have all been shattered by the impact.
Even with Stellario’s help, they still sustained fairly severe injuries as a result. Stellario had passed out from the pain, which showed just how powerful the sage was.
However, the pain activated the murderous intent that lay dormant within Jonathan.
After all, a man who possessed the Pryncyp of Slaughter was definitely no saint.
Seboxia appeared next to Jonathan in his pure white robe.
With a gentle wave of his hand, two beams of life force entered Jonathan and Stellario’s bodies, healing their wounds completely.
“F*ck! What happened just now? I feel like my brain has gotten all mushy!” Stellario exclaimed while rubbing his head as soon as he regained consciousness.
Those words had barely left his mouth when Jonathan reached out and pulled him to his feet.
“Huh? What are we doing now?”
Stellario had confusion written all over his face as he stared at the group of people that had emerged out of nowhere before them.
“We’re going to kill them!”
