The Legendary Man Chapter 946-Both Vassily and Jokovich cornered Jonathan.
To survive, he had to choose which opponent he would face and which one to leave for Heaven Sword to deal with.
Due to his extreme speed, Jokovich was the obvious choice to face Heaven Sword.
However, Heaven Sword was too slow. In its prior encounter against Vassily, it did not succeed after the first time it caught him off guard and severed his arm.
In other words, Heaven Sword could only serve as a diversion against Vassily at best due to the vast amounts of energy it had used up.
Everything Jonathan had planned was aimed at stirring up psychological warfare between his two opponents.
He wanted them to think Vassily was the one chosen to face Heaven Sword to prevent the latter from reaching him.
Only in this manner could a formidable fighter like Vassily be distracted by the blade to allow Jonathan the opportunity to gain the upper hand.
Though the arrow looked harmless, it had once harmed Jonathan.
If not for his timely handling of the poison imbued on its tip, he would not have survived it even with his Pryncyp of Strength replenishing his reserves.
With Vassily’s Kore broken, how else will he fight this?
Vassily examined the wound on his chest. Despite being quick enough to dodge Jonathan’s strike and avoiding a fatal stab to his heart, the poison from the arrow was swiftly spreading through his body.
The wound had turned into a bruise the color of mud.
Once the poison was in his system, it spread even quicker. It was beginning to take over his lungs.
Without hesitation, Vassily drew a dagger and cut out a chunk of flesh the size of his fist from the wounded area.
Vassily smiled bitterly when he saw the black blood oozing out of him.
“After laying low all these years, I can’t believe I’ll fall by your hand.”
Having once been a Divine Realm cultivator in the absolute phase, Vassily knew how dire his condition was.
It was a simple matter to survive such a poison. All he had to do was master a certain type of Pryncyp of Strength.
Employing the absolute phase Pryncyp of Strength as a sieve, he could purge even more potent poison than that out of him.
Where would I go to find a complete Pryncyp of Strength to treat myself right now?
“I never expected such a vicious and calculated maneuver from someone as young as you, Jonathan. Even in my death, you will know no peace.”
Vassily laughed coldly and, with a light step, bounded toward Jonathan.
A bell chimed. Jonathan took the strike, then burrowed underground.
“Stay where you are!”
Vassily let out a fierce roar and slammed his right hand onto the ground, causing his spiritual energy to flow into the earth, solidifying it.
This old man mastered Earthly Escape too?
Sensing the immense change taking place beneath his feet, Jonathan became astonished.
Then, he noticed something awry.
The soil structure over the entire plot would have changed if it was an escape technique. However, the earth beneath my feet did no more than harden. Did he use his spiritual energy to send out a force field to freeze the earth?
Upon considering that possibility, he mobilized his Pryncyp of Strength and stomped hard on the ground.
True enough, as his Pryncyp of Strength flooded downward, the spiritual energy force field beneath his feet shattered, and the earth regained its original state.
Executing the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique, Jonathan swiftly sank into the earth.
Heaven Sword, which had been busy dueling Jokovich in the distance, dissolved into an afterimage and went through the ground, landing securely in Jonathan’s grasp.
“Get out!”
Boom!
Feeling the violent tremors behind him, Jonathan hastened his descent.
