Chapter 621 Colton Blackwood
Lauryn heaved a sigh of relief after listening to Jonathan’s words. A few moments earlier, she took action first to ease the tension in the air for Colton.
After all, no matter how friendly Jonathan seemed to be now, what happened in Summerbank Abyss had instilled great terror within her. He is brutal, decisive, and will scheme against anyone by any means necessary…
That was what Lauryn thought of Jonathan. After Jonathan and Irving’s first encounter, they fought each other with all their might, not showing any mercy.
However, following that, they decided to join forces and work together for the sake of survival. As for Lauryn, Jonathan allied with her before exploiting her several times.
After all the previous incidents, Lauryn believed Jonathan was a disloyal and untrustworthy scoundrel. That was why Lauryn had been looking for ways to make Colton leave the place once she knew about the latter barging into Jonathan’s place.
She was worried that Colton would not even realize how he died if Jonathan took action. Nonetheless, Jonathan promised to let Colton strike first, which meant the former wasn’t furious.
After all, he wouldn’t have given Colton the chance to strike if he was truly angry. At the same time, Harry, who stood behind them, gestured for the soldiers around them to put their weapons down.
Harry knew Jonathan deserved the title of Asura. In previous battles, Jonathan used to have one-on-one fights with the commanders and dominated them soundly every time.
Now that Jonathan promised to let Colton strike first, Harry knew Colton would be in trouble soon. “Jonathan, my brother means no harm. How about—”
Jonathan laughed and replied, “No worries. I mean no harm as well. However, I can’t just call it a day after he caused havoc at my place and humiliated me, right?”
Then, Jonathan walked closer to Colton and added, “You can strike me three times before I counterattack. Make good use of the opportunity.”
In the meantime, Colton frowned as he gazed at Jonathan. After a while, a glint flashed across his eyes, and his lips curled into a smile.
“Rumor has it that Jonathan of Asura’s Office is a prominent figure. After meeting you today, I realize you’ve indeed lived up to your reputation!”
Colton bowed politely and continued, “Asura, I’ll do as you’ve asked. Otherwise, people would think I’m scared of fighting you.”
When Colton looked up at Jonathan, a drop of blood fell from his right palm.
Before the drop of blood fell on the ground, a strong gust of spiritual energy swept it away, and it disappeared into the handle of the fan that Colton was holding.
Soon, Colton’s white fan was stained red, exuding an intimidating aura within a matter of seconds.
“Soul-sealing!”
Even though it was the exact same move he used when he was going against Lauryn just now, the ink traces that flew out from his fan this time were reddish-black.
Lauryn shouted in shock, “Colton, you…”
“Shut up!” However, Colton stopped her before she could say anything.
As the air was filled with droplets of fresh blood, Lauryn couldn’t help but cover her mouth.
That was Colton’s soul-sealing technique which he activated using blood essence.
The last time he used this technique was three years ago, when he was ambushed and almost died.
Because he used this technique, which took a huge toll on his body, he lay in bed for weeks upon returning home before his strength recovered.
Though one of the reasons he was bedridden for weeks was that he had sustained severe injuries at that time, utilizing the soul-sealing technique largely consumed a cultivator’s energy.
Lauryn had never expected Colton to use all his might right at the start of the battle. Nonetheless, Colton himself was at peace.
From the beginning, Colton could sense that Jonathan was already in the middle phase of the God Realm.
He was a terrifying martial artist who could kill even Garrison of the Osborne family effortlessly.
