Chapter 172: Trap
Jacob swallowed a slash that no one present dared to take?
Only after a few seconds did everyone come to themselves.
Jacob really swallowed it.
Even Shyla couldn't help but curse.
Her heart was in a mess.
Was he a human?
Jacob's move was beyond everyone's expectations.
Even Logan, who was confident that he would be able to seriously hurt Jacob with this slash, was stunned.
After all, in their opinion, so young as Jacob was, no matter how powerful he was, he would never have the power of a peak Divinity Phase cultivator.
Just when everyone had yet to regain their senses...
Jacob sneered again.
"I told you I could cripple you with one move!"
In the Devil Realm, everyone did what they meant.
Jacob looked at Logan and shouted.
After saying that, Jacob opened his mouth and spat.
Immediately, a streak of blood red cloth-like thing was spat out.
As soon as this thing was created, the surroundings were instantly shrouded by intense aura of blood.
Everyone felt as if they were in a sea of blood. The evil mana was overwhelming. Just this aura of blood alone seemed to be able to devour them.
The seven cultivators were appalled.
They all looked at Jacob with horror.
Especially Logan. His eyes almost popped out.
"Holy shit."
At this moment, Logan couldn't hold back and cried out, ignoring his image as a Divinity Phase cultivator.
Not only that, Logan was profoundly scared.
He felt that the thing Jacob spat out was made of aura of blood.
It was countless times more powerful than the slash.
Metaphorically speaking, if the slash just now created a battle arena...
Then, Jacob created a bloodthirsty hell.
How did he do it?
He swallowed the slash that was filled with furious aura of blood, which had already shocked Logan to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, Jacob produced even more powerful aura of blood, which was beyond Logan's knowledge.
At this moment, Logan felt an extreme danger.
"Run!"
There was only one thought in his heart.
His instincts told him to escape.
However, who was he?
He was a prodigy who could fight against a peak Divinity Phase cultivator when at the late stage of Divinity Phase.
With Bloodlust Saber, he would be invincible!
Logan's eyes flashed with madness.
"You are just a newbie in your early twenties. I'd like to see what you can do to me!"
Logan roared. Then, he gripped the saber with both hands instead of one.
Zhen Qi in his body was flooding towards the Bloodlust Saber.
The aura of blood on the saber soared.
Logan had been in a lot of battles, and he had even killed several Divinity Phase cultivators. Now, the aura of blood was at its maximum.
"Bloodthirst slash!"
At this moment, Logan let himself go. He did not care if this slash would kill Jacob.
All of his power was exerted.
He slashed.
It was as if the world had changed because of this.
The blue sky was dyed scarlet.
However, the sneer at the corner of Jacob's mouth intensified.
"This person's strength is quite impressive. Unfortunately, his opponent is me. In front of me, he is nothing but an ant!"
Jacob sneered.
As he scorned...
The cloth-like thing Jacob made collided with Logan's bloodthirst slash.
"Boom!"
Soon, an earth-shaking explosion sounded in the sky.
In the sky, the color of blood was darker.
The other cultivators, who were there to prevent Jacob from escaping and were watching the battle, felt the pressure.
All the other six cultivators stared at the battlefield.
How was the situation?
Under the attack, the battlefield was enveloped by blood mist. Even if they were at the Divinity Phase, they could not see through the mist. Even their spiritual energy could not penetrate it.
The next moment.
The blood mist dispersed.
The scene in front of them shocked everyone once again.
All the six cultivators gasped.
Logan was turned into a bloody man.
Blood flowed out from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Even the pores all over his body were bleeding.
It was so frightening.
In addition to that, Logan's hands, which were holding the saber, were trembling.
Moreover, he trembled more and more violently.
In the end, the Bloodlust Saber was dropped to the ground.
Only then did the six cultivators clearly see that the meridians in Logan's hands were cleanly cut.
"I can cripple you with one move!"
Jacob's words echoed in their ears.
They were all breadwinners of their family, and even though they were all at the Divine Phase with the weakest at the intermediary stage, they felt cold down their spines.
This was not only because of how miserable Logan was.
It was also because Jacob crippled Logan with one move.
None of the three cultivators at the late stage of Divinity Phase could cripple Logan.
Not to mention crippling him, with the Bloodlust Saber in his hand, they might not even able to win against him.
Because Logan was powerful enough to confront a peak Divinity Phase cultivator.
But this badass was crippled by Jacob as he wished.
How old was he?
Less than twenty-five years old.
The more they thought of this, the more they felt suffocated.
Logan was dumbfounded.
I... I lost?
I was defeated by his single trick?
Not only did I lose, I was also crippled?
And he did it so easily?
Logan's eyes were filled with upset.
Jacob didn't care about how Logan felt.
Instead, he waved his hand.
The saber that had been dropped to the ground was in Jacob's hand.
"It's a pity that it was not comparable to Magic Treasures. It's still within the scope of the magic artifacts on Earth. However, it's was stronger than the offensive magical artifacts of those two peak Divinity Phase cultivators from the Pharmacy Pavilion."
Jacob thought to himself as he looked at the Bloodlust Saber.
However, Jacob didn't understand.
The Bloodlust Saber was not made by the Heavenly Pavilion, but was found in an excavation.
Although Krish and Valerie of the Pharmacy Pavilion were at the peak of the Divinity Phase, the Blade and the Withe they used were all made by the Heavenly Pavilion. Furthermore, they were specially made for them when they just reached the Divinity Phase. True, they weren't as high-quality as the Bloodlust Saber, but at that time, they were already quite powerful.
What was even rarer was that the Blade and the Withe were very compatible with Krish and Valerie.
They were tailored for them.
Unlike the Bloodlust Saber, which was excavated.
Although the quality was higher, if a cultivator with the same level of strength as Krish battled with him using the Bloodlust Saber while Krish using the Blade, he may not necessarily win.
Even though Logan had possessed the Bloodlust Saber for decades, he had not made the best use of it.
At the same time when Jacob took the Bloodlust Saber....
The other six cultivators looked at the crippled Logan and exchanged glances with each other.
What should they do?
Jacob's power had exceeded their expectations.
However, the seven cultivators came together.
If they returned empty-handed, wouldn't that be a humiliation to them?
And this was not just a matter about dignity.
"Everyone, if we leave, then from now on, we will become a joke."
"How will this leave the reputation of the secluded families to be?"
"Most importantly, if we don't take down Jacob, he will never voluntarily remove the IOUS. Then our younger generations will be chained and will never have the chance to reach the Divinity Phase." "Also, Jacob has many top-grade panaceas on him. I will not be content to leave just like this."
"Jacob is indeed very strong. Even Lance was defeated by him. No wonder he was able to kill an Elder of the intermediary Divinity Phase in Mount G. But Lance lost to him because he was alone. This time, all of us attack together and go all out. I doubt that he can turn the table!"
The six cultivators talked via telepathy.
As for Logan, he was already excluded by them.
Logan, from the looks of it, had been crippled and had lost his power to fight. If he fight again, it was very likely that he would die here. Though they wished other families and Divinity Phase cultivators to be killed so that their own could prosper, at this time, they were here for Jacob, and regardless of which one was killed, it would be a humiliation for all of them.
"Telepathy is meaningless. For me, your little trick is nothing!"
After fiddling with the Bloodlust Saber, Jacob looked at the six cultivators and scorned.
How powerful was Jacob's spiritual will?
Even Krish was far behind him.
After all, he was not cultivating martial arts from Earth.
Jacob heard all of their conversation.
As Jacob spoke...
The six people were all astounded.
They looked embarrassed, but what was more was their fright.
Jacob could hear their conversation?
"Now, I'll give you another chance. Give me the items on the IOUS and I will let you go. We will leave each other alone. If you refuse, there will be more than killing your descendants..."
Jacob said coldly.
"Jacob, you despicable and shameless man. You forced them to sign the IOU on purpose."
Shyla looked at Jacob with an emotionless face.
"If they hadn't been after me and attacked me, how would they suffer?" Jacob snorted coldly. "You want to have designs on me and snatch my panacea away, right? I'm asking you one last time. Have you
made up your mind?"
"You assaulted the descendants of our secluded families and challenged our dignity. You are asking for death."
"Blackmailing us means death!"
Immediately, the remaining six cultivators said in unison.
After that, they attacked at the same time with great tacit understanding.
This time, everyone went all out.
They knew how powerful Jacob was.
Therefore, the moment they attacked, everyone used their own Divine Powers.
"Fiery Snake!"
"Gale Punch!"
"Silk Wrapping!"
Immediately, the six cultivators stood in six directions and simultaneously launched their most powerful strike towards Jacob.
The six Divine Powers charged towards Jacob with massive energy.
Jacob snorted coldly.
He didn't care about it at all.
Even a melee attack from a peak Divinity Phase cultivator like Krish was unable to break Jacob's flesh.
Not to mention these people who hadn't reached such a phase.
Right now, if Jacob was in full defense, they, as cultivators at only intermediary and late stage of Divinity Phase, would probably not be able to crack his Shield of Chaos.
"Trap!"
Jacob's expression did not change as he said a single word.
Instantly, the Tight Dragnet that he had put into the Chaos Pearl appeared in his hand.
