Chapter 71 Irresistible Force
Nobody in town knew about the ongoing commotion at the vast airport.
Amber retreated a few meters away. It hadn’t dawned on her at that moment that she wouldn’t be able
to leave this place at all, but she wasn’t planning on escaping alone either. She took out her gun. With
her excellent skill in shooting, she planned to use it to aid Jonathan when it was necessary.
Yet little did she know that Zachary did not take her actions seriously, for her skills were incomparable
to his. He merely looked at her coldly. I won’t let her threaten or harm us in any way.
Jonathan and Drake stood opposite each other.
Even though Jonathan looked relaxed, he felt the weight of the situation on his shoulders. He had
decided that with Amber by his side, he shouldn’t just think about escaping because they would only
die faster. Instead, he thought he should quickly get rid of Drake before moving on to kill Zachary. Only
then would they have a slim chance of escaping this situation alive.
However, he couldn’t help but complain internally. Damn it! Felicia said that there are no experts in the
Crimson Onyx Sect! So where did the two of them come from?
His train of thought was interrupted when Drake suddenly made his move.
Under the dark skies, the cold gleam of Drake’s blade shone as he rushed toward Jonathan.
It was the blade fighting technique of the Sapphire Blade Clan.
Drake was initially three meters away from Jonathan, but he appeared beside the latter in the blink of
an eye, lifting his hand and aiming at Jonathan’s heart.
He is way better than I thought he would be! He doesn’t even have to wield a blade because his hand
is the blade!
Jonathan was stunned by Drake’s cultivation. Nevertheless, he wasn’t afraid as he, too, was an
exceptional figure. He had spent years practicing boxing with his master since he was a child and had
experienced many life and death situations, and none of these situations had harmed him. He had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtseen a lot of experts and talented people in their respective fields and had always defeated them.
Looking at Drake’s menacing hand blade, Jonathan clenched his fists tightly in front of his chest to
protect his heart. It was the Heart Defense Technique.
Drake stopped in his tracks. He didn’t dare to move an inch closer toward Jonathan. One could only
imagine the consequences if Drake had launched his attack at this moment. Therefore, he changed his
approach by balling his fist. He wanted to perform the Heavy Hammer Punch.
Jonathan assumed a defensive stance. If Drake came running toward him with great force, he would be
knocked back and give Drake the upper hand to use the skills that he had learned from the Sapphire
Blade Clan.
Despite knowing that he could probably be defeated, Jonathan stayed calm in the face of danger. He
took a step forward, prepared to face Drake’s attack. Under normal circumstances, one would have
stepped back to evade the attack. But Jonathan was doing the complete opposite. At the same time, he
didn’t stop what he was doing with his hands. While he continued to protect his heart with one hand, he
reached out the other to grab Drake’s throat as the latter came up to him.
It was a first for Drake, for he had never been defeated or subdued before. After all, he was considered
a genius in Jetroina. No one had successfully gained the upper hand when fighting him, as he had
always been the one to strike first and defeat his opponent.
Amber stood at the side, her hand holding the gun was covered in sweat. She did not know how to help
Jonathan at all, as they had moved so quickly.
Not wanting to risk his life just to wound Jonathan gravely, Drake retracted his fist and fell back three
meters away. As he did so, he stretched out one leg, posing and looking like that of a scorpion.
Jonathan had wanted to charge at him initially, but he knew how lethal the Scorpion Attack could be.
Left with no other choice, he dodged Drake’s attack, thus losing the best opportunity to get rid of Drake.
The two stood facing each other again, their expressions grim.
Jonathan had gained the upper hand this round.
Very quickly, Drake began to move again. It was his style to attack again, again and again.
Jonathan began to move too. He decided to use the Rolling Thunder Punch.
A hot wave of air immediately filled the spaces they were in.
Drake had wanted to use his hand blade to attack Jonathan. However, he was so intimidated by
Jonathan’s Rolling Thunder Punch that he decided to use his Heavy Hammer Punch instead.
Pow!
Their fists came into contact in mid-air. The ground beneath both of their feet cracked, and they
simultaneously took three steps back. The second round seemed to be a tie between Drake and
Jonathan.
Drake’s face slowly got darker and darker. He was frustrated that none of his attacks had earned him
the upper hand in the fight against Jonathan. If I don’t gain an advantageous position in the next round,
my aura will no longer be intimidating! If that happens, I will not be able to win this fight.
Abruptly, he ripped off his clothes, and immediately after, his entire being shook violently and his joints
began cracking and popping.
He looked like a wild, raging beast at this moment. His eyes were red and his skin was red as he
exuded a strong and powerful aura.
With a scream, Drake made his move, lunging at Jonathan.
Jonathan felt his heart race, and his vision turned black.
He wanted to retreat so badly, yet he knew that it would only make matters worse. Given Drake’s
current state, he could tell that the next move from Drake would definitely kill him.
“Irresistible Force!” Drake pounced on Jonathan.
Irresistible Force was the Sapphire Blade Clan’s killing move, which could make one feel as if they
were slashed by a thousand blades. However, Drake had modified the technique in a way that was
similar to boxing. He threw punches and punches, and the speed of it was enough to make Jonathan
feel breathless.
Jonathan’s eyes were ablaze with fury, but he soon calmed himself down as he used the Spirit Fist to
steady himself, bend down, and dodge two of Drake’s punches. Then, wrapping his arms around his
body, he stood back up and took a deep breath before countering Drake’s attacks with Shadow Punch
and Spiralite.
Drake did not see that coming, for no one had ever dared to take his punches head-on. Jonathan was
the first.
The two continued to exchange punches, and after a long while, Drake was finally exhausted. Seeing
that he no longer looked as hostile as before, like a tiger that had lost its teeth, Jonathan seized his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmchance and used the Antelope Rhythm technique on him, then punched his chest with great force.
He was about to go in for the kill when the muffled sound of a gunshot rang through the sky.
Jonathan’s expression changed. Sensing that he was about to be hit in the head with a bullet, he
stopped going after Drake and moved aside.
The bullet narrowly missed his head, and he could feel the heat from the position where the bullet had
flown past.
It wasn’t because Jonathan was faster than the bullet, but because he had detected the danger and
avoided it in advance. After all, a person couldn’t be faster than a bullet at a near distance like this.
Without bothering to aim his gun at Jonathan, Zachary used his black revolver to fire another two shots
at Jonathan.
This time, Jonathan did not manage to dodge the bullet as he was shot in the shoulder, and blood
began gushing out.
Spotting an opportunity, Drake rushed forward and struck Jonathan’s chest with his knee, sending the
latter flying a few meters away and falling heavily to the ground.
“F*ck!” Jonathan cursed out loud. He started seeing stars and felt as if every organ in his body had
been kicked out of place. He nearly vomited due to the extreme pain that he was feeling and the
messed-up state of his vitality.
This was the first time in his life that he had been seriously injured. It was an entirely different
experience from his time in Smealand, where every encounter he had was a piece of cake for him.
“Jonathan, are you okay?” Amber asked, horrified. Noticing that Drake was walking over slowly, she
aimed her gun at him and shouted, “Stay where you are!”
Drake ignored the trembling woman.
Gritting her teeth, Amber shot the former in the head. She did not want to follow the example of those
idiotic characters seen in dramas where the female leads would not even fire when they had a gun in
their hands. There was only one ending to stupid behaviors as such, and that was death.
However, the moment Amber pulled the trigger, Drake suddenly disappeared before her eyes. Then,
there came a strong wind. Like lightning, Drake appeared before Amber again and punched her in the
abdomen.
He was a cruel and wicked man who had no sympathy or empathy for others as he sent Amber flying
backward as well.
Her gun was flung to the ground, and her camouflage clothing was torn. Unlike Jonathan, who was
stronger than her, Amber passed out on the spot.
Luckily enough for Jonathan and Amber, Gabriel had not given Drake the permission to wound them
grievously, or they would not have survived the attacks.
