The Legendary Man -
Chapter 711
The Legendary Man Chapter 711-Winston's words made the atmosphere tense.
Stellario was quietly shifting his position beside Jonathan. Although he was wearing a smile on his face, bugs were already crawling on the tip of his fingers. Jonathan then spread his spiritual sense a hundred meters radius wide.
At the same time, he tossed out something that glinted. The spiritual force field before Stellario rose and stopped the cold glinting item from reaching him.
That was his knife.
"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Jonathan asked, chuckling. "Karl will be here to pick up his son soon. Do you think you'll be able to kill me before Karl comes?" "So what if Karl doesn't agree to this?" Kathleen let out a laugh. "We have his son, and Karl's a smart man. I'm sure he knows which side he should choose by then." "But how are you planning to threaten the other two people into submission?" Jonathan asked.
"The other two people?"
A confused look crept onto Winston's face.
However, in the next second, he turned to his right.
There were strong fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from that direction, and not just one. Instead, there were three. Winston was not the only one who sensed the spiritual energies rapidly closing in. Kathleen and Stellario sensed them too. Then, three figures leaped above the mountain across from them, unleashing a shockwave that shook the surrounding trees. In mere seconds, the three newcomers landed right before their eyes.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Karl and the other two had arrived.
The moment their feet touched the ground, they whipped out their weapons-a glinting spear, a long sword, and a bent saber.
The tables had once again turned after their appearance.
Kathleen, Stellario, and Winston had surrounded Jonathan, but Karl, Sirius, and Xavion who emerged a little later ended up encircling Kathleen and company. "They're the ones I'm talking about," Jonathan told Winston as he continued smiling.
"You can use the child to force Karl to make the choice you want him to, but you have nothing to manipulate Sirius and Xavion with."
"You're going to use the boy to force him into taking your side?" Sirius pointed his spear at Kathleen. "I dare you to try it."
Sirius had promised Karl that he would help rescue Karl's son, and he was not going to go back on his words.
There was no way he was going to let anyone use the child as a bargaining chip; he was going to make sure that Killian would return to Chanaea safe and sound.
A murderous look emerged in Sirius' eyes. Even though he was not a man of many words, he was absolutely merciless when he made up his mind.
"Kathleen, hand Killian and Layla over to me," Karl said as he walked over to the woman, saber in hand. "I'll remember the favor you've done me."
"I don't want you to owe me any favors."
By then, Kathleen had already grabbed Killian and lifted him off the ground.
"I want your Eastern Army to work for the Henderson family!"
"The Henderson family?" Winston interrupted with a knit of his brows.
"Kathleen, our three families are in an alliance. Why must the Eastern Army only work for your family?"
"He's right," Stellario said, his expression dark as he played with his knife. "Didn't we say we're going to do this together? Either we share the Eastern Army, or none of us will get it at all."
As he spoke, Stellario had started gesturing a technique with his right hand.
The murderous intent in the air was palpable by then.
As Jonathan had been using his spiritual sense to engulf his surroundings, he instantly noticed Stellario's technique activation and pointed Heaven Sword at him.
The second Stellario noticed Jonathan's sword pointing at him, he stopped moving his fingers. A cold look appeared in his eyes instead.
"What are you trying to do, Jonathan Goldstein?"
"Nothing, really," Jonathan muttered. "Xavion said that you'll surely do something to Killian since you've all reached an agreement. I didn't believe it at the start because who would do anything to a kid that young? But that gesture you're making... Why does it look like it's a Meadyon gesture meant to trigger the action of a parasite? Move again, and I'll incapacitate you."
At that, Stellario glared at Killian and slowly separated his right index and middle fingers from his thumb.
Even though he was irked by how Kathleen wished to dispossess the entirety of Karl's Eastern Army for her own family, killing Killian now would make Karl attack him like a rabid dog.
Furthermore, Karl had Jonathan and Sirius by his side. No matter how capable Stellario was, he would not be able to escape the place alive.
"What have you done to Killian?"
By then, Karl was already crouching before his wife and checking over her.
Kathleen and the others let him be, for Layla was not their main target. Killian was still the most key person to them.
At that moment, facing the threat posed by Jonathan and Sirius, Kathleen and her two comrades had once again aligned themselves with one another, prepared to fight.
"It's nothing much," Winston started in a low voice. "Stellario has planted a Reaper Parasite in him while Kathleen and I have both given him a blood curse each. It's best if you stay in your spot and don't do anything reckless, or else we'll kill him before you can even get the chance to blink."
Two blood curses and one Reaper Parasite. The mere mention of that would send chills running down anyone's spine.
Even cultivators would be at risk of dying or becoming someone else's puppet if either one of those things were planted in their bodies.
Yet, Killian, a seven-year-old boy, was currently carrying three of those things.
"How can you bring yourself to do that to him?" Karl snarled in a gruff voice as he gripped Layla's wrist, continuously transferring pure spiritual energy into her body to revitalize her.
In the meantime, Jonathan was silently activating his Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.
"Hand over the boy and remove the blood curses and parasite from him. Then, I'll let the three of you go."
Kathleen scoffed upon hearing that.
"Asura, do you think the three of us can leave if we do as you said?"
As Kathleen spoke, a thread from her fan's tassel extended and wrapped around Killian's neck.
"Karl, I'll only ask you two questions. Will you stick to your promise? Will the Eastern Army be ours to use?"
Once Karl sensed Layla's vital signs stabilizing, he slowly rose to his feet.
"If you remove the parasite and the blood curses, the Eastern Army will be yours to command."
"No can do," Stellario hissed. "I'll be frank with you. Regardless of whether or not the blood curses can be undone, my parasite will never be removed. This is how I'm going to keep you under my control." Then, still fiddling with the knife in his hand, Stellario turned to Jonathan and said, "Come at me if you dare. I'll kill him right away. We're in a stalemate now, but you must know who's going to be the victor."
"Then die."
With that, Sirius shot out his spear as he dashed toward Stellario.
At that, Stellario began gesturing a technique with his hand, his expression cold and devoid of fear.
Right as Sirius' spear was about to reach Stellario, a figure suddenly streaked past.
Clink! came the sound of a saber and a blade meeting.
Karl was right in front of Sirius, blocking the blade of Sirius' spear from striking down Stellario.
"Sirius, I'll keep in mind the favor you've done for me," Karl started with a wry smile. "But I can't just watch as my son die here."
"If you compromise, you'll never be able to disengage yourself from this situation anymore," Sirius remarked. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Yes."
In response, Sirius retracted his spear and slowly retreated.
"I've agreed to help you replace the boy, and that's what we've done. Since you've made up your mind, note that I will not show any mercy when we meet again. Farewell."
