Chapter 593 Could Not Defeat Him
“Does this mean you’ll give me the pill if I can defeat you?” Sensing the murderous intent coming from Vladimir, Jonathan tightened his grip around the axe. Vladimir chuckled. “If you can defeat me, then my life will belong to you, Mr. Goldstein.”
“Then you need to be careful, Sir!” The moment Jonathan lifted his head after bowing, the axe in his hand flew toward the old man without warning.
He followed behind the axe and formed spikes around his fists with spiritual energy before charging toward Vladimir. Usually, he wouldn’t use that kind of dirty trick unless his life was in danger.
However, he had no idea what to expect when facing Vladimir. Since the time the old man showed up, he had been giving Jonathan a feeling that he was in a very dangerous situation. Even though Jonathan believed he had nothing to fear, he still wanted to be careful.
The sound of the battle axe zipping through the air came to an abrupt end while Jonathan’s fists were easily dodged by Vladimir. Vladimir held the axe with a smile while standing a few meters away. “This is the axe I gave to my disciple. Thank you for returning it to us.”
As he spoke, he lodged the axe into the ground and gently moved the horsetail whisk as he approached his opponent with a smile. “Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t be holding back anymore. Please die now, Mr. Goldstein.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he disappeared. It wasn’t because he was moving so fast that no one could see him. He really just vanished into thin air. Even Jonathan’s spiritual sense couldn’t locate where he was.
Just as Jonathan was on his guard, the white horsetail whisk suddenly emerged in front of him. It was as though his spirit shield was made of paper because the horsetail whisk shattered it without even slowing down.
Facing that powerful attack, Jonathan only had enough time to block it with his arms before he was sent flying away. He then landed next to Lauryn.
Soon, he felt immense pain in his arm. As Jonathan assessed his injury with a frown, he realized his arms had turned into rotten flesh.
When the horsetail whisk attacked him, it was as though the strands on the weapon turned into extremely sharp blades, cutting through his arms hundreds of times.
If not for how he dodged in time, it was possible that his arms would’ve been chopped off.
What cultivation level is Vladimir on? How is he so terrifying? Jonathan stared at his opponent fearfully as his arms trembled.
At that point, he couldn’t determine the cultivation level of Vladimir because the old man hadn’t used his full power.
“I’m sorry, Lauryn.” From that attack alone, he had determined the gap of power between him and Vladimir.
It seemed as though he was going to abandon Lauryn to save his own skin.
When Lauryn heard that, her eyes were filled with despair.
However, she knew no matter what she could offer to Jonathan, there was no way he would be willing to put his life on the line to defeat an opponent as absurdly powerful as Vladimir.
“I’m grateful for all that you’ve done for me up until this point,” she thanked him in a deep voice.
Then, she pulled out a jade pendant from her pocket. “Take this jade pendant. If you ever meet someone from my family in the future, please give it to them and tell them this: ‘Forests on the white mountain with black rivers. A boat of dreams under the starry night.’ My father won’t trouble you if he hears those two sentences.”
Holding the jade pendant in hand, Jonathan stared at the object as it was tainted by his blood. Then he shifted his confused look to her. “Do you think I’m afraid of your father troubling me?”
“I’m not afraid of that.” Lauryn sighed. “I know you tend to fight against respectable families. I just want to use this jade pendant to let my father know that you once helped me so he won’t attack you. That way, maybe you’ll let go of the Blackwood family.”
