Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 80

As Jacob moved his hands, traces of grey images could be seen emerging from Jacob’s fingers. Soon, the grey traces became a huge net formed by his substantialized internal power.

“What’s this?” When the Virtuoso-to-be saw this, their eyes almost popped out.

Just now Boyce’s display of his rapidly forming fists was already enough to shock and terrify them. But now Jacob would wield his Zhen Qi which was even more impressive. He even could weave them into a huge net! This was unheard of and definitely never seen by anyone!

“Go!” When Jacob saw that the net was formed, he tossed the net towards Boyce like he was trying to catch fish.

When Boyce saw this move, his expression changed and his pupil constricted. It was obvious that Jacob’s move had exceeded his expectations.

“I didn’t think that you can control Zhen Qi so well and precisely!” Boyce said.

He could do what Jacob was doing but not with the ease that Jacob did. Boyce began to take Jacob seriously as he started to feel mortally threatened by the appearance of this web of Zhen Qi.

The Zhen Qi net wouldn’t just capture him like a fisherman catching fish with a net. If he were to be enveloped by the net, he would end up being cut into a thousand pieces.

“You’re move is very powerful but you are dreaming if you think that you can catch me!” Boyce said and both his hands waved like swords and his internal Zhen Qi formed knives and shot out from his palms to slice the net.

“Although Jacob’s net was very powerful, once Boyce can cut through the net with his Zhen Qi, then the net would lose its power!” A Virtuoso-to-be commented.

“Yeah, although this is a powerful move to those non-Virtuosos, to Virtuosos, and even Virtuoso-to-be, it’s not that big of a threat.”

“Jacob should not be showing off. To a Virtuoso match, this move didn’t seem appropriate.” Another Virtuoso started to say.

Especially when they saw Boyce countering this move with multiple Zhen Qi knives. This Virtuoso-to-be was even more certain.

The Zhen Qi huge web weaved by Jacob could only be described as perfection. But the Zhen Qi web was formed by internal energy and as soon as it leaves the body and encounters Boyce’s Zhen Qi knives, it would be cut into pieces.

Then when all the people inclusive of Boyce were expecting the Zhen Qi net to be cut by his Zhen Qi knives, the expected scene did not happen.

As soon as each of Boyce’s Zhen Qi knives contacted the net, each of them simply dissipated.

How could this be?

All those Virtuoso-to-be who were commenting a moment ago quickly shut up and what they had said seemed to be a slap on their faces. Although they were Virtuoso-to-be and were strong in their own right, and they had been through many impossible situations, this time they became red with embarrassment.

Boyce was equally shocked as his pupil constricted further when he saw this.

It’s unbelievable!

Although it looked like he effortlessly wielded those Zhen Qi knives he knew how much energy he utilized for the counter move. He had already stopped underestimating Jacob who began to wield death blows. Even a car could be sliced into two with his Zhen Qi knives.

No matter how strong Jacob’s Zhen Qi net was, it should at the most be on par with his Zhen Qi knives and should at the very least be neutralized. But now, the Zhen Qi net seemed untouched!

Jacob scoffed at Boyce who thought that he could touch Jacob with his puny moves. This huge net was not formed by Zhen Qi but was the nourishing mana from the earth and heaven formed using the power of Chaos. Anyone must be dreaming if they wanted to use Zhen Qi to break up this form of energy!

When Boyce saw that he was unable to counter the net, he made a few other moves and still couldn’t neutralize the net and stop the net from enveloping him.

Any delay and the net would totally contain him. He suddenly felt the possibility of death.

Boyce quickly retreated. But the huge net seemed to have a life of its own and followed Boyce wherever he ran.

Suddenly, Boyce felt shocked and remarked to himself, “Jacob is that powerful?”

All of the spectators started to break out in goosebumps. The two moves that Boyce wielded were countered by Jacob effortlessly. And now Jacob’s one move sent Boyce into a panic.

It wasn’t that Boyce was not powerful because he had proven his capability on his march down south. But it was Jacob who was far more powerful! Jacob was even younger than Boyce and far more ruthless than Boyce!

“Do you think that this is all you need to do? I’ll let you see the secret move of the Goldsmith family, Confinement!” Boyce suddenly yelled.

As he said, within ten feet around Boyce, the air seemed to congeal. Those who were within this distance felt that they couldn’t move any part of their body except for their eyeballs. The stronger ones also felt very uncomfortable. Those with superior skills became slow as if their motions slowed down by tenfold.

Only the Virtuoso-to-bes were less affected but their actions also felt slowed.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

At this moment, the huge net finally stopped. Boyce was not affected but his actions seemed to quicken. The reason why he was able to be evenly matched with the intermediate-stage Virtuoso Ronald Parker was largely because of this Confinement move.

Very few people in the Goldsmith family were able to master this move and those who could do this in a wide area were even fewer. When Boyce became a Virtuoso, he spent a month in isolation to practice this move!

“Jacob, prepare for your death!” Boyce said ferociously. Jacob was far more powerful and ruthless than he expected!

This kind of person must die or would become his biggest enemy. Today, Jacob must die! Otherwise, he would never achieve his invincibility and there would remain hidden dangers as he tried to attain the Divinity Phase.

…

…

“Will Jacob be alright?” Outside the arena, Kaley asked with worry. Lena also started to frown and became worried. They were captured by Ghosts Santiago and Tyrone and locked up in the Derek residence. They were rescued when Jacob came.

As Jacob’s woman, Kaley wanted to come to the death match between Jacob and Boyce. Killing Boyce was what Jacob promised Lena and so she also came to watch the fight.

“Madam should rest assured that Master is the strongest. He will definitely be fine.” Lecherous Demon Edwin explained.

They were outside of the area covered by the ‘Confinement’ and were not affected by it. Kaley remained worried even with Lecherous Demon Edwin and Virtuoso-to-be Cornell’s assurances. Lena’s frown also did not ease a bit! Lecherous Demon Edwin didn’t say anything further when he saw this.

The reality would prove to them soon.

…

…

“Interesting!” Jacob looked amused when he saw this Goldsmith family secret move. It looked like the martial arts of Earth weren’t that insignificant after all. There were some profound moves and this ‘Confinement’ looked to be some higher form of skills.

“This move is interesting but it’s a far cry from trying to confine me!” Jacob calmly said. His actions were totally unaffected.

Boyce now looked shocked at Jacob. Jacob was totally unaffected by the ‘Confinement’? How could it be?

Even Ronald Parker’s actions slowed down a bit. To a Virtuoso, any slowdown even by a bit could be the difference between life and death, which was how he could be evenly matched with Ronald Parker.

This was also why Boyce was confident of killing Jacob.

But now Jacob was totally unaffected which shocked Boyce. Under the current circumstances, he had to kill Jacob today. I’m invincible!

Even if the ‘Confinement’ did not affect Jacob, Boyce was still confident of killing Jacob. In a blink, Boyce appeared in front of Jacob. Boyce threw a Zhen Qi punch like a beast towards Jacob.

“Nine Secrets of Demon Emperor, devour!” Jacob declared and his body turned into a black hole. Immediately, all the Zhen Qi that was directed towards Jacob was adsorbed by Jacob.

How could that be?

This time Boyce was appalled, “That’s impossible!” Boyce’s expression turned pale and was in disbelief. He had never seen anyone who could adsorb someone else’s Zhen Qi. If that was the case, how could he even fight?

“Back to you!” At this moment Boyce heard these three words.

Then, the Zhen Qi that Jacob adsorbed was focused to a point within his body and shot out from Jacob’s body and punched onto Boyce’s body.

The compacted Zhen Qi immediately exploded on contact with Boyce. The energy was like the explosive power of a bomb. Immediately Boyce was hit by his own Zhen Qi and flew backward from the explosion.

Blood splattered everywhere.

His chest became a patch of blood and gore!
