Chapter 104 Distance Soul Lock
Yasir and Levi did not leave Horington immediately. Instead, they decided to stay at the presidential
suite of the Horington Hotel.
It was five o’clock in the afternoon. Right then, Yasir was sitting cross-legged in the room. He was so
quiet it seemed as if he had entered a state of hypoventilation. Meanwhile, Levi accompanied him with
care.
Soon, he drew the curtains open. The warm sunset glow shone through the big window, illuminating the
entire room in gold.
At that moment, Yasir opened his eyes.
Levi quickly shouted, “Master Sullivan!”
A cold glint flashed across Yasir’s eyes, but he immediately hid the change in his expression. Lifting his
head, he looked at Levi and asked, “How’s the preparation for the Golden Sword Tournament?”
Levi answered, “Everything is going well. The competition will be held as scheduled. Many fighters are
trying to join the competition. Besides, some of them are from overseas.”
Upon hearing that, Yasir was stunned. “Overseas?”
Levi explained, “There are two fighters from Tayhaven, Jetroina. Both of them are younger, and they
want to take the opportunity to know our martial artists better. We also have some participants from
Shadow Fist Camp in Saspiuburg. Besides, some bigwigs from Thymion will join the competition too.”
Yasir was surprised to hear that. “Initially, we organize the Golden Sword Tournament to bait Jonathan
out. Unexpectedly, things have escalated this far. Now, this competition has become an actual
tournament.”
Levi nodded in agreement. He then asked, “Master Sullivan, what should we do next?”
“It doesn’t matter whether Jonathan will join the competition or not. We can end his life straight away.
As for the Golden Sword Tournament, we will still hold it as planned. As long as Strikezone Martial Arts
can become the winner of the golden sword, we can still regain our dignity,” replied Yasir. It was
Strikezone Martial Arts’ regret for not being to kill Jonathan in front of fellow martial artists. Hence, they
were left with no choice but to regain their dignity through such a method.
Levi frowned, feeling a little worried. “But then, Master Sullivan, Jonathan has a bit of history with Old
Mr. Johnson. Moreover, he seems to be quite close with the city officials here. He has the recording
with him, so it might be dangerous if we kill him now.”
A hint of coldness glinted across Yasir’s eyes. “What can they do once we kill him?” He paused for a
second and continued, “We’ll go back to Norham after killing him. Do you think they will dare to set their
feet on our land and seek trouble from us?”
Norham was Strikezone Martial Arts’ territory. It was also the main base of the martial arts center.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIndeed. No one would dare to find trouble with Yasir in Norham.
But in fact, no one would be able to arrest Yasir even if he killed Jonathan here.
Most importantly, Edward was close with some of the local big shots. As long as he talked to them
about it, Yasir would never face any consequences after killing Jonathan.
Right then, Levi could sense Yasir’s determination. It seems like Jonathan has angered Master
Sullivan, so Master Sullivan will never spare his life this time.
Knowing that Yasir had made up his mind, he decided not to say more about it.
After some time, he asked, “Master Sullivan, when do you plan to kill him?”
“Tonight, then,” Yasir answered.
Levi continued, “I have something that I’m worried about, Master Sullivan. Jonathan is not dumb, so he
should be able to sense your murderous intent. What if he runs away beforehand? That’s also an
issue.”
Yasir replied nonchalantly, “He won’t get to run away.”
Levi could not help but feel curious. “Why?”
Although Strikezone Martial Arts was an influential clan, they did not have many people in Horington.
Yasir explained, “I’ve used my telekinesis to lock onto Jonathan before leaving the coffee house today.
It’ll be more troublesome for me to kill him in Horington. If he escapes now, I don’t have to worry about
the future consequences after killing him.”
Levi was shocked upon hearing that. “Bind him with telekinesis?”
Master Sullivan’s explanation is too vague and abstract!
Yasir glanced at him, saying, “You’ve yet to achieve that cultivation stage. That’s why you don’t
understand. The technique is also known as Distance Soul Lock. Since I’ve lock onto Jonathan’s soul
now, I can still sense his breath even if he’s a few thousand miles away. That’s the power of magnetic
flux.”
Levi widened his eyes in disbelief. Master Sullivan has cultivated for too long that he doesn’t look like a
man now! He’s like an immortal god!
Soon, the night fell. A crescent moon hung in the middle of the dark sky.
The street lamps illuminated the city.
Meanwhile, Jonathan, Polly, and Amber were sitting in the coffee house.
Amber insisted on staying with Jonathan as she wanted to protect him.
However, there was still no reply from Arthur, so she was not confident about it.
Jonathan and Polly sat cross-legged motionlessly like a meditating monk.
Suddenly, a feeling of danger crept into Jonathan’s heart. He opened his eyes abruptly.
Following that, Polly opened her eyes and looked at Jonathan in surprise. “What’s wrong?”
Jonathan furrowed his brows. “Something’s wrong. My senses have been covered in dust, so I can’t
see anything clearly.”
Amber was puzzled. His senses are covered in dust? What the heck is he talking about?
Nevertheless, she did not dare to question him. She could sense that the atmosphere in the room was
tense.
Polly knew what Jonathan was trying to say. As soon as one achieved a similar cultivation stage as
Jonathan and her, their body and senses would always be clean and peaceful. That was why their
eyesight and hearing abilities were better than ordinary people’s. At that point, they could even sense
even the tiniest movement of the wind blowing.
Now, however, Jonathan was feeling as if his senses were being polluted. That was strange.
“Could it be that…” Suddenly, Polly’s face turned pale as she thought of something.
Jonathan was confused. “What is it?”
Polly explained, “I heard those who have achieved Peak Nascent Soul can communicate with their
surroundings. They can also lock on one’s soul from a distance. As long as they use that skill on you,
they can hunt you now no matter how far you run. Could it be that that man has used his Distance Soul
Lock on you?”
Jonathan could not help but gasp. He said with a deep voice, “I can feel his determination in killing me.
It seems like he’s not going to let me go this time. I guess he’s already on his way to take my life now.”
Amber did not understand what Polly said, but she knew what was happening now. Her eyes were filled
with anxiety and fear. She immediately said, “I’ll ask Chief Xiques to bring his men here now.”
However, Jonathan stood up and stopped her. “We can’t use the same old trick again. That man won’t
give us the chance to do that.” After a brief pause, he glanced at Polly and said, “I’m the one he wants
to kill.” As soon as he said that, he turned around and strode outside.
Amber chased after him. “Where are you going, Jonathan?” She sounded like she was about to cry.
Jonathan did not answer her. He ran out of the coffee house within a second. Then, he got in the BMW
and drove away.
Amber was panicked, and fear surged within her heart. She could even smell death closing in at that
moment.
Soon after, she got in her police car without hesitation. She decided to follow Jonathan, intending to
protect him with her own life.
“Amber!” Just then, Polly ran out of the coffee shop and stopped her.
Amber’s eyes were glistening with tears. She was too afraid that something dangerous might happen
to Jonathan.
Polly replied with a low voice, “Jonathan is trying to distract that man away from us. If he stays here
with us, that man might kill us, too. But if he’s alone, that person will only take his life.”
Amber immediately came to her senses. Sadly, she felt even more upset. She was heartbroken and
engulfed in misery even after coming to that realization. She could not believe that Jonathan was still
thinking about Polly’s and her safety at this point.
“I need to go and save him!” Amber gritted her teeth. With that, she opened the car door and got in the
car.
This time, Polly did not stop her, and she also got into the car quietly.
The police car traveled across the road like a bolt of lightning in the dark. The light on the car was
flashing, and the sound of the sirens pierced through the night.
Unfortunately, all Amber could feel at the moment was despair. Right then, she could no longer see
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJonathan’s whereabouts. She could not find Jonathan’s BMW in the hoard of traffic on the busy road.
Where can I find Jonathan now? Perhaps, I’ll never have the chance to see him again. What if he’s
already dead when I find him?
Feeling helpless, she stopped her car in the middle of the road. Then, she got out of the car and
walked away in panic.
Although the sky was dark, the street lamps were bright. Many people were walking on the streets with
all sorts of emotions.
The commercial building opposite that street was playing a shampoo advertisement.
Amber sprinted across the streets. At that moment, she dared not to think about anything. She was
overwhelmed with a wave of tremendous grief and despair. Her heart was too painful that she wished
she could die on the spot.
Meanwhile, Polly sat in the police car quietly. She was unusually calm.
It was as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her at that moment.
Polly could imagine how determined Jonathan was to sacrifice his life this time. She felt that death was
extremely common in this hustling world and that it was inevitable.
After all, all humans would die in the end, including the Chosen One, Jonathan.
Therefore, Polly would not be as upset as Amber. The reason why Amber felt so heartbroken was that
she loved Jonathan. Her emotions were affected by love, and that was why she was suffering now.
Truth be told, Polly would still feel upset. However, she felt she had removed her negative emotions
from her body at that moment. She looked like a stranger who was watching Amber from afar.
That was a strange but fantastic cultivation stage.
Polly was trying to reach a higher stage of cultivation, and Jonathan was only a part of the scenery she
encountered during her process.
In the meantime, Jonathan sped through the streets in his BMW. Unfortunately, he could not get rid of
the sense of danger in his heart. It was as if it had been engraved all over his bones.
Without realizing it, Jonathan drove his car to a road located north of Horington.
The street lamps were brightly lit. Besides, there were only a few cars on the road.
Right in front of the road was the entrance of the highway, and there was a toll station in that area.
Jonathan did not want to die. After all, he was also a human. He had his emotions and desires. Similar
to the others, he was also scared of death.
Truthfully, Jonathan was trying his best to survive now. He planned to drive his car to the highway,
hoping that he could buy himself some time.
Although he knew that he would never escape from Yasir’s Distance Soul Lock, he wanted to maximize
his survival time. That was a human’s instinct.
Soon, Jonathan arrived at the toll station. Nonetheless, he did not stop his car. He drove past the toll
station and smashed the toll bar into pieces.
Soon, his BMW disappeared in the dark. The highway was dark, and there were no lights beside the
road.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
As soon as Jonathan picked up the call, he heard Yasmin’s voice coming from the other side of the
line. “Jonathan, where are you? Are you done with your work? What time are you coming home?”
