Chapter 964 Kill To Replenish
By then, the Remdikian military forces had already figured out a Chanaean cultivator was hiding within their rear.
Moreover, Remdikian military forces had also recorded Jonathan's conversation with Asura's Office.
Once the translation was completed, all the Grandmaster Realm military officers found out who Jonathan really was. Hence, they
started going after him.
Those short-range missile vehicles were considered strategic weapons. If Jonathan were to destroy all twenty of them, those
military officers would be kissing their military careers goodbye.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was in a gruesome battle.
Due to his lack of vitality, his movements were slower than usual.
Although he wouldn't be harming himself if the battle were to go on, he still couldn't break through the cultivators' line of defense.
As a matter of fact, there were times when he had his enemies restrained, but when he was about to deliver the fatal blow,
another cultivator would show up to force Jonathan into retreating.
Seeing how things were going, Jonathan couldn't help but feel frustrated.
On the other hand, the opposing cultivators were getting more and more confident. Before this, we heard rumors saying how
strong Jonathan was and how he had killed plenty of Remdikian cultivators on his own. Now, it seems like his cultivation level is
only slightly above the Grandmaster Realm. As long as we can stay in sync, there's no way Jonathan can break through our
defense, let alone destroy the missile vehicles.
At that point, everyone knew Jonathan's weak physique suggested something bad had happened to him. However, that didn't
stop anyone from giving it their all to kill him.
After all, there was still a bounty within the Western Army, and whoever it was who captured Jonathan was entitled to a wish from
the tsar.
Initially, everyone thought such a glorious reward would only be given to a military officer in the God Realm. To their surprise,
Jonathan was right in front of them.
Although they didn't tell each other what to do, everyone was going all out with their attacks, hoping to be the first person to take
Jonathan down.
Facing those relentless attacks, Jonathan's expression was turning grimmer by the second. The missile vehicles are already in
position! They'll only need to lock on to their targets before launching those missiles. I'm running out of time!
Bang!
Jonathan struck his Heaven Sword on a huge shield in front of him. Before he could make his next move, three blades were
already right in front of him.
Although the bronze handbell could defend Jonathan at any time, Jonathan could still suffer internal injuries if he were to forcibly
fend off the moves of three Grandmaster Realm cultivators in order to kill one Grandmaster Realm cultivator. With my current
vitality, I might really be in danger if I were to suffer internal injuries.
Left with no other choice, Jonathan kicked the shield violently and leaped into the air before those three blades could reach him.
He then landed in an open space ten meters away.
While panting lightly, Jonathan glanced at the enemies before him. I want to use Earthly Escape to jump over them and destroy
those missile vehicles. However, I'm out of Spirit Rejuvenating Pills. Earthly Escape is an exhausting spell, and I could end up
burying myself underground. Since the beginning, I've noticed that no matter how the Remdikian cultivators changed their
formation, a few of them remained in the same spots. At the same time, I know that the roots of the grass underneath my feet
are as resilient as steel wires. That means one of the cultivators knows Wooden Escape, and that's very effective against my
Earthly Escape.
Right then, those initially defensively-minded Remdikian cultivators had figured out what Jonathan was trying to do. Therefore,
they approached him in a coordinated manner.
Just as Jonathan was contemplating using the move he had in mind, a burst of spiritual energy soared into the air right behind
everyone.
A God Realm cultivator! Jonathan glanced in the direction of the incoming enemy and turned around to run in the opposite
direction.
Jonathan had hoped that all the Remdikian God Realm cultivators had been sent out to carry out the assassination.
However, it would be foolish for the Remdikians not to leave a God Realm cultivator behind to lead such a large troop of soldiers.
Jonathan knew that he was in a bad shape to go up against a God Realm cultivator.
The only way he could live was to abandon his beliefs and replenish his vitality.
Since the Remdikian cultivators were all busy guarding the missile vehicles, the other military vehicles were left defenseless.
With that knowledge, Jonathan suddenly rushed into one of the vehicles and started killing everyone in it.
“What?” The Grandmaster Realm cultivators were all stunned when they saw that. Why is Jonathan killing all the mortals? Is he
doing that because the Remdikian God Realm cultivators are here? Is he venting his frustration on those mortals because he
knows he can't get close to the missile vehicles?
Little did they know that couldn't be further from the truth.
Upon sensing the life force in the vehicle decreasing rapidly, one of the Remdikian military officers swung his long sword to
unleash a slash of sword energy toward the top part of the vehicle.
The roof of the vehicle suddenly exploded, and Jonathan was seen standing on the vehicle with Heaven Sword in his grip.
Needless to say, he had countered the sword energy unleashed by the military officer.
At the same time, Jonathan was holding a dried corpse of a Remdikian soldier in his left hand.
A lot of cultivation methods were recorded in the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.
There were even records of Dark Art, like what Ryan cultivated, which used humans as a way of replenishing oneself.
Jonathan merely comprehended it when he came across that evil method, and he had never used it.
That kind of method of using others as a way to replenish oneself was against the rule of nature, and it belonged to the evils.
Hence, such a method wasn't tolerated by the world.
Jonathan had never expected that he would one day need to sacrifice others to replenish himself.
He then tossed that dried corpse aside, and it instantly broke into pieces upon dropping to the ground.
At that moment, there was a faint glow in Jonathan's gaze, but he didn't seem like he had recovered.
There were thirty-two Remdikian soldiers in that vehicle.
Yet, absorbing the vitality of those people wasn't even enough to make up one percent of the vitality Jonathan was lacking.
Jonathan felt as though he had just had a drop of water after days of walking in the desert without water.
Hence, he was feeling utterly restless after getting a taste of the vitality he absorbed from those soldiers.
“H-He's absorbing our soldiers' life forces!” a military officer shouted in fear upon seeing the dried corpse on the ground that
seemed as though it had been left out in the open for centuries.
Meanwhile, Jonathan had already dashed toward the second vehicle. I need vitality to replenish myself! Although I'm going
against my Cor, I don't have any other choice! Charleigh must live for future battles. I can't let those short-range missiles be
launched!
