The Legendary Man Chapter 1312-North Outer City Dungeon

Although Kathleen was skilled in using poison, even the most potent poison had its limits.

Over a hundred people had been taken down by Kathleen in the surrounding area, a feat that was quite terrifying. However, considering the number of Black Armor soldiers in this place, the effect was limited.

The few people inside the Coffin were unaware of the situation outside.

In accordance with their collective decision, the plan was to tear open an exit and then, at the fastest speed possible, run to the edge of the Outer City and make their escape.

But the Outer City was really too vast.

Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still taken aback.

Emerging from the Coffin, they caught sight of the towering city walls in the distance.

There was a saying, “So near yet so far.”

Within South Outer City, a single arena spanned fifty kilometers, not to mention the construction of the entire Outer City.

The colossal city wall seemed to be right in front of the eyes, but in reality, it was dozens of miles away.

If they really tried to make a run for it, they feared they wouldn’t even reach their destination before being surrounded and killed by those relentless pursuers.

Even now, just a few hundred Black Armor soldiers had already pushed them into a desperate situation. If the entire army of North Outer City were to be fully mobilized, these few people would probably die without blinking twice.

At that moment, Joshua was using all the tricks up his sleeve. However, there was a limit to human strength. When faced with so many enemies, even with him holding three major magical items in hand, he still couldn’t gain the slightest advantage.

Jonathan’s escape technique was currently the only method that could take a few people away.

Yet, at that moment, he also had unspeakable sorrows in his heart.

From the moment he landed, Jonathan was constantly thinking about using the Elemental Extrication Technique to break free from his predicament.

But the reality was, within the North Outer City, the ground was covered with formations, leaving no opportunity for him to use it.

“I can’t pull it off!” Jonathan roared loudly.

At this moment, Celestus had already flung three flying knives, bypassing the Coffin and charging straight toward Jonathan.

“Get lost!”

With a shout, Kathleen flicked her fingers. Following that, a sharp, piercing sound echoed. Surprisingly, it was a fingernail that had been shot out.

Celestus couldn’t dodge in time, and his neck was instantly slashed, blood spraying out. He hastily retreated backward.

Upon seeing that, Jonathan followed closely with his sword. However, just as he moved past the Coffin, he once again collided with the flaming spiritual weapon.

In the distance, Celestus’ fireball had transformed into a massive shield, protecting him within.

The fire instantly acted like an army.

Even in this small world, the situation had escalated to this extent. If it were outside, Celestus could truly conquer Divine Tribulation easily, achieving Divine Realm’s Great Pryncyp.

“Go!” As Joshua shouted, two spirit warriors by his side transformed into afterimages and sprang forward, clashing with the flame spirit soldiers in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, he ended up landing next to Jonathan while clutching onto Hayden.

“Give it another try!”

As Joshua spoke, his entire spiritual energy surged into his hands instantly.

Under the infusion of spiritual energy, the light on the Formation Crusher shone brightly. In the next moment, it fiercely pierced into the ground.

Crack! Crack!

The subtle sound of cracking echoed continuously as the green bricks beneath their feet kept shattering.

In the midst of this phenomenon, Jonathan still felt an unusual sensation.

Beneath his feet, he distinctly felt a strong surge of malevolent aura.

Before he had a chance to fully experience it, he was once again interrupted by Joshua.

“Hurry and try the Elemental Extrication Technique. My spiritual energy won’t last much longer.”

Jonathan looked at Joshua, who by now had turned pale as if he were a patient on his deathbed.

Upon witnessing such a scene, Jonathan dared not delay any longer. With a gesture of his hands, the spiritual energy within his body surged wildly into the ground.

And this time, there was no obstruction at all. It went straight through to about ten meters underground.

“Earth Extrication!”

With a loud shout, Jonathan smacked his hand on the Coffin, and without any warning, the green stone slab under their feet collapsed.

“Stop him!”

Celestus loudly commanded to the people around him.

But when those Black Armor soldiers, weapons in hand, charged toward the depression, all they saw was a pit three to four meters deep.

Meanwhile, Jonathan and his companions had completely vanished, having escaped underground.

Celestus clutched his neck, staring into the deep pit with an icy gaze.

“Plaster the portraits of these individuals all over the city and search thoroughly! I want them dead!”

After escaping their predicament, Jonathan and his companions ventured deeper underground, continuously moving forward.

One by one, Joshua tossed the Spirit Rejuvenating Pills into his mouth. They transformed into spiritual energy, which was then wildly channeled into the Formation Crusher.

Several people kept fleeing while Jonathan was constantly keeping an eye on Joshua’s situation.

Although the spiritual energy within the Spirit Rejuvenating Pill was extremely pure, to the point where it could be absorbed without refining. The sheer volume of consumption posed a significant challenge to the cultivator’s own meridians.

“The expanse of North Outer City is just too vast. At this rate, even if Joshua overexerts himself, we still won’t be able to get out,” Jonathan said as he looked at the people next to him.

“Without Joshua’s Formation Crusher, there’s no way we could escape this Outer City filled with restraining barriers.”

“Let me take your place,” Hayden said to Joshua with concern.

The latter shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

“You wouldn’t be able to use these three treasures even if I gave them to you. It must be my Whitley family’s bloodline…”

As soon as Joshua’s words fell, Kathleen’s expression froze.

These three treasures had been coveted by the Eight Great Families for hundreds of years. After breaking the Whitley family, they searched for another decade or so.

And now, all they got in return was this hope-crushing confirmation.

So what exactly had the Eight Great Families been doing all these years with their sacrifices?

“We can’t go on any longer. Joshua can’t hold up.”

Originally, Jonathan was charging forward underground, but upon seeing Joshua in such a state, he immediately changed his direction and started to flee downward.

Several people were now fleeing for their lives. Above their heads, in the North Outer City, there must be numerous cultivators searching for them.

In a high-pressure environment like the small world, it was clearly not realistic to seek a high-pressure hideout in the city.

All Jonathan could do was to carve out a space in the relatively safe underground to first address Joshua’s issue.

What happened next was beyond anyone’s expectation. With such a mindset, Jonathan had only descended a dozen meters or so. Then, suddenly, the few people found themselves falling directly into a dimly lit room.

“No way…” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Jonathan looked at the fences on both sides, feeling a wave of melancholy in his heart.

He was all too familiar with this scene. He, along with Stellario and Merilyn, had been transported directly to the underground dungeon of South Outer City.

Furthermore, that place was identical to the prison cells in South Outer City.

Adding to the fact that his own spiritual power was being rapidly stripped away, Jonathan was almost certain that he had ended up in the dungeon of North Outer City.

The only difference this time was that they found themselves landed not in a prison cell but in the corridor outside.

Joshua was already drained of his spiritual energy. Now, in this underground dungeon, he suddenly fainted…
