Chapter 1393 Eradicating The Mallory Family
Even in his semi-unconscious state, Joshua vaguely knew that Jonathan had allied with several respectable families.
However, when it came to the specifics, he only had a superficial understanding.
Especially when Jonathan sealed him in the coffin, Joshua had no way of perceiving what was happening outside.
At that moment, Joshua couldn’t help but be bewildered by Jonathan’s words.
“What exactly are you trying to say?”
At that moment, Jonathan was lying in the coffin, his eyes fixed on the pitch-black lid above him.
“I’ve drained my spiritual sense and need to rest. I’ll send you and Mr. Blackwood out. I’ll also pass on to you a formation hand seal, but you’ll have to carry this coffin on your back. Since four respectable families want to collaborate with you, you’re the one they want, Joshua. Seboxia is now dead, while I’ve basically exhausted all my moves. I’m no longer able to contend with the old folks from the respectable families. Given that you’ve come seeking the small world, you must surely possess a wealth of secrets about it. If not for that, the Whitley family wouldn’t have persisted all these years in trying to enter the small world. I don’t know what choices you’ll make once you enter Yannopolis, all I ask is that you take me out.”
As Joshua looked down at Jonathan, who seemed to be saying his last words, a solemn glint flashed in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely get you out of here.”
After the two reached an agreement, Jonathan immediately set up a soundproof formation and informed Joshua a little about how to control the ancient coffin.
Then, using the last of his strength, he managed to pry open a corner of the coffin. Before anyone could react, he flung Graeme and Joshua out with a swing of his hand.
Zack and Gregory, who were anxiously waiting outside, quickly moved back in caution upon hearing the sound from the coffin.
But who would have known that the ones who leaped out of the coffin would be Graeme and the bald Joshua.
“Heh… Joshua has come back to life.”
“It seems that Cypress really does have some tricks up his sleeve!”
Zack chuckled as he said to Joshua.
However, Gregory realized that something was amiss.
Although Graeme was always easygoing, his expression at that moment was noticeably serious.
“Mr. Blackwood, what’s with that look on your face?” Gregory asked in a casual tone.
“Where are Jonathan and Cypress?”
Upon hearing the words, Graeme subtly shook his head, and in the next moment, he unexpectedly dodged to the side.
“Watch out!”
The moment Gregory sensed the murderous intent from Graeme, he immediately retreated, pulling Eva with him. At the same time, Zack swiftly drew a saber from his side, positioning it in front to shield himself.
Although Pryncyp of Strength couldn’t be used by God Realm cultivators in the small world, they would still crush Divine Realm cultivators if a fight did break out.
Accompanied by a horrifying scream, the head of a God Realm elder from the Mallory family exploded instantly.
“Burn his corpse!” Graeme shouted in a cold voice.
Nine members of the Blackwood family had entered the small world. Three of them died in the northern region of the small world. Including Sirius, who was locked up, there were only two members gathered there.
Although these two had no idea why the head of the family started attacking the Mallory family, they obeyed his orders unconditionally.
After Sirius spoke, the two of them turned into afterimages and threw several burning talismans at the bodies on the ground. Then, they charged at the members of the Mallory family.
“Chief Mallory might have been killed! Everyone, don’t hold back, or none of us will be able to leave!”
Upon seeing Sirius make his move, an elderly man from the Mallory family was the first to react, shouting loudly in Malloryian.
Upon hearing this, the remaining five Mallory family cultivators quickly made hand signs, throwing out all the parasite bottles they had on them.
“Force Field!”
Like a phantom, Graeme’s figure appeared behind a young man from the Mallory family in an instant.
Using the same move, Graeme extended his withered right hand and smashed the head of the Mallory family cultivator.
However, the elderly cultivator from the Mallory family had already formed a hand seal in front of his chest.
In the moment when the man’s skull turned into a mush of white and blood, two tentacles, resembling scythes, pierced through the old man’s back, slashing toward Graeme’s neck.
In the blink of an eye, Graeme lifted his leg and fiercely kicked the back of the headless corpse.
Upon impact, the body of the elderly man tore up at the chest as if he were a ragged sack.
And from his chest flew out a crimson mantis, the size of a small child!
In its moment of freedom, the mantis took advantage of the elderly man’s kick to fly directly toward Gregory below.
“Get lost!”
With a stern shout from Gregory, the spectral image of Vibrant Tiger instantly materialized behind him.
The tiger merely swiped its paw lightly, and the spiritual pressure it stirred up instantly flattened the giant mantis into a meat patty.
Protected by the enormous spectral image of Vibrant Tiger, Gregory watched with a cold gaze at the swarm of insects ahead that resembled a dark cloud.
The techniques of the Mallory family mostly involved the use of parasites. Just now, several cultivators released their own parasites all at once, a number of which was truly terrifying.
“What on earth is going on, Graeme?” Gregory shouted as he stared at the swarm of insects ahead.
At that moment, Graeme was surrounded by numerous parasites. Although such an attack was not enough to take his life, it was incredibly troublesome. He simply couldn’t free himself, let alone have time to respond to Gregory’s question.
Interestingly, it was Joshua, the bald man standing nearby, who picked up his Hailstorm Fan from the earthen platform next to him.
“Cypress has been killed by Jonathan. No one from the Mallory family is to be spared!”
As Joshua spoke, he let out a sigh before suddenly drawing a sharp breath.
With this inhalation, the surrounding spiritual energy transformed into waves, surging into Joshua’s body. The scale of this phenomenon was comparable to the breakthrough of a cultivator from the stage of Divine Realm.
“Snowstorm Summons!”
With a slight flick of Joshua’s finger, Hailstorm Fan unfolded completely.
Immediately after, Joshua gathered all his spiritual energy and fiercely swung it forward.
The turbulent wind carried countless snowflakes, sharp as knife blades. Hurtling forward, they engulfed the entire valley in front of Joshua.
The overwhelming snowstorm soon turned the swarm of insects that filled the sky into nothing but dust.
Even if it wasn’t for the fear of inadvertently killing the two God Realm cultivators from the Blackwood family, Joshua could have easily used this fan to directly slay the remaining four cultivators from the Mallory family.
“What are you all standing around for? Are we just going to let them get away?”
Joshua’s face showed a hint of displeasure as he spoke to Gregory and Zack.
Such an attitude naturally displeased the two Divine Realm cultivators. However, they also understood that if they wanted to leave the small world, they would have to rely on Joshua still.
Especially after Joshua’s recovery, he surprisingly carried a faint and mysterious aura.
Even his method of absorbing spiritual energy earlier was unheard of.
Even though it was unclear what exactly happened inside the coffin, one thing was certain—Joshua’s strength was definitely not limited to that of God Realm.
