Chapter 622 Obliteration
An invisible spiritual sense suddenly invaded Jonathan’s mind. It was an assault on the spiritual sense. Jonathan fell into a momentary daze after he was hit by the spiritual sense attack.
Due to the lack of feedback from his spiritual sense, the spiritual energy within him stopped working briefly. Standing opposite Jonathan, Colton’s eyes gleamed menacingly.
Upon sensing the power of his magical item had stopped dissipating, Colton immediately kicked off the ground, and his figure turned into a blur as he dashed toward Jonathan. “Dragon Claw!”
Right after Colton growled, a burst of spiritual energy quickly enveloped his outstretched arm, which was aimed at Jonathan’s face, forming a layer of transparent scales. At the same time, his hand was fitted with the phantom shape of frightening, sharp claws.
That was the secret combat skill passed down in the Blackwood family, Phantom Dragon Technique. Lauryn, standing aside, was utterly dumbfounded at that sight.
Phantom Dragon Technique was a skill that could be learned only by a selected few people, even among members of the Blackwood family.
Those qualified to practice the skill were either the current head of the family or the successor of the family selected behind closed doors. The other practitioners of the Phantom Dragon Technique were some cream-of-the-crop disciples of the clan.
Besides, to prevent the leak of the Phantom Dragon Technique to outsiders, that skill had always been passed down to male descendants of the family only, contributing further to the mysteriousness of the technique.
Lauryn’s father was the current generation’s head of the Blackwood family.
As the direct descendant and heir of the family’s head, Lauryn’s elder brother, Zidane Blackwood, was qualified to learn Phantom Dragon Technique according to the rules.
Colton was the son of Lauryn’s eldest paternal uncle. According to the family’s tradition, Colton should not have been allowed to learn Phantom Dragon Technique. After all, Colton and Zidane shared the same lineage and were both the biological grandchildren of the family’s previous head, Lauryn’s grandfather.
If Zidane and Colton both practiced Phantom Dragon Technique, a conflict might arise in the future.
A bloody fight might also happen between them if both of them wanted to claim the position of the head of the family.
Therefore, in Lauryn’s opinion, the emergence of the Phantom Dragon Technique at that moment was not a favorable sign.
Colton’s phantom claw was about to slash at Jonathan, but just as his claw touched Jonathan’s neck, an invisible spirit shield halted Colton’s attack from progressing further.
Colton’s facial expression changed drastically. He looked up at Jonathan and noticed the latter was smiling at him.
“That’s it. You used up your three moves,” Jonathan uttered nonchalantly.
With that, powerful spiritual energy erupted and spread out, with Jonathan as the center. The terrifying wave of energy immediately crashed into Colton.
Pfft!
Colton spewed out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
Lauryn hastily moved behind Colton and cushioned his fall by receiving him in her arms.
“Are you all right, Colton?”
With Lauryn’s help, Colton managed to steady himself after staggering a few steps back.
He applied pressure on the meridian at his elixir field and focused on conditioning the chaotic spiritual energy in his body.
“You are indeed very strong, Jonathan,” Colton said to Jonathan through gritted teeth.
No cheating was involved in the process earlier, as Jonathan had not retaliated and Colton had also remained rooted to his spot, showing no inclination to flee and hide.
That prompted Colton to become more aware of the significant difference in capabilities between him and Jonathan.
It was a far-fetched idea for Colton to even think of winning against Jonathan by relying solely on his cultivation level.
A smile spread across Jonathan’s face at that moment.
