Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns novel Chapter 96

At this time, Herbert had already arrived in front of Jacob with his fists.

His fists smashed towards Jacob.

He was confident. He thought even if Jacob was a top Virtuoso, his punch was powerful enough to teach him a lesson.

And if Jacob was not a top Virtuoso, death was his fate.

However, when Herbert attacked Jacob with his fists, he saw Jacob's smiling face.

There was some cruelty in Jacob's smile.

Herbert suddenly got a bad feeling.

"Die!"

Herbert shouted again.

Meanwhile, he also increased his strength.

Jacob was just a brat. He didn't believe Jacob was stronger than him.

He firmly believed that something was lurking behind Jamison's death.

Under the expectant gazes of the other patriarchs and the sympathetic gazes of Vampire and Spencer, Herbert collided with Jacob.

However, what happened fell short of the expectations of the patriarchs.

Herbert also didn't get what he wanted.

In an instant, silent was all over the place.

This was all because Herbert's boundless power landed on Jacob.

But Jacob acted like he was unharmed.

The cruel smile was still on his face.

Herbert felt he had hit some cotton, and all his strength became useless.

He felt the absolute dissipation of his power.

No, it was more like that it suddenly disappeared.

Herbert's strike was only powerful on the outside but useless in nature?

Other patriarchs all looked towards Herbert.

Herbert was also confused.

In the next moment, it seemed that he had thought of something and his expression changed drastically.

He was shocked.

Herbert wanted to leave, but it was already too late.

The roaring fists that he had just unleashed suddenly burst out from Jacob's body.

And all of them shot towards his chest.

At this moment, Herbert figured out what was wrong. Jacob absorbed all his strength!

How was this possible? When he realized this, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong and wanted to retreat.

But he could never imagine that Jacob not only absorbed all his strength but also transformed the power of his fists inside his body and returned that strike to him. This was terrifying.

Herbert was a seasoned top Virtuoso. He had seen much and experienced much, but he had never heard of such a terrifying trick.

Shit! How could he fight Jacob?

Jacob stood there. Whoever hit him would end up hitting himself. Hitting him was like a joke!

Herbert was startled.

He wanted to dodge the attack, but it was too late.

Herbert was sent to the air and retracted backwards by those punches.

This wasn't all.

After Herbert fell to the ground.

Suddenly, a huge palm appeared in the air and slapped down on him.

In an instant, a deep pit shaped like a palm appeared where Herbert landed.

As for Herbert, he was struck into the pit. No one knew whether he was alive.

Immediately, everyone became silent!

The air seemed to be frozen.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

The patriarchs had never imagined that things would end up like this.

In their opinion, even if Jacob was quite capable, he could only make Herbert retreat at most.

However, what happened frightened them.

After realizing what had happened, all the imposing patriarchs felt scared.

They all took a deep breath.

Their gazes towards Jacob were filled with shock and fear!

They finally understood that it was probably Jacob who killed Jamison!

Spencer was standing at the side. He had a mixed feeling towards Jacob.

But anyhow, he was happy.

Previously, Jacob's joint locking technique almost killed him. He was forced to use the last Flying Talisman to flee.

Now, seeing Herbert, a top Virtuoso might be killed under this move, he felt he got some kind of comfort.

You were a top Virtuoso, so what? Master beat you with this move!

Vampire stood there expressionlessly.

He was neither sad nor happy, and neither shocked nor frightened!

He was a high-level servant of the Emperor of the Dark Realm. Jacob was the only one he cared about.

Vampire felt it natural no matter what an astonishing thing Jacob had done.

After all, in his heart, his master was omnipotent!

...

Jacob gave Herbert, the one lying in the pit a glance. And this was Herbert's honor.

Just now, he devoured Herbert's powerful move. This confirmed Jacob that his physique allowed him to be not afraid of Virtuosos.

However, while his spiritual will and cultivation had reached the Incarnation Phase, his physical body didn't!

His body had reached the Gasification Phase, but fell short of Incarnation Phase!

There was not a specific term to address the phase his body was in. But Pseudo-Incarnation Phase or Semi-Incarnation Phase could roughly describe that.

Jacob sighed in his heart. There was nothing he could do about it. This body was mortal!

It seemed that he had to think of a way to increase his physical strength to the Incarnation Phase.

After that.

Jacob raised his head to look at the patriarchs.

He said coldly, "Do you concede your failure?"

Patriarchs looked at each other and remained silent for a moment.

Did they concede their failure?

They were afraid of Jacob's ability and talent.

However, would they give up seeking benefits from the Goldsmith family?

No!

Jacob sneered and stared at the patriarch of the Lynch family--Colin, "Do you concede your failure?"

Colin's expression immediately changed.

Jacob only asked him. This was different from when he asked everyone present.

If he didn't express his stance, Jacob would probably kill him to set an example for others!

But he believed that Jacob dared not to kill him.

Otherwise, the Lynch family would take revenge on Jacob until he died!

Just as Colin was about to speak, Jacob waved his hand. Immediately, Colin flew out and spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the ground red.

Then, Jacob turned his gaze to Caspar--the patriarch of the Hill family, and asked, "Do you concede your failure?"

Caspar was the weakest amongst the patriarchs. He was only an intermediate-stage Virtuoso. Some hesitation flashed across his face.

Immediately, Caspar flew out and fell to Colin.

He also spat out a mouthful of blood. All his five internal organs were damaged and he was seriously injured!

Next, Jacob turned his gaze to another person. That was Gary—the patriarchs of the Black family!

"Do you concede your failure?"

Gary made a prompt decision, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yes, I concede."

As he said this, Gary's face also turned red.

It had been so many years since he had felt so aggrieved!

But now, because Jacob was so strong, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

The patriarchs of the nine great families gathered. Nine virtuosos could not beat one person. They had never imagined this.

If it were any other time, Gary would be treated as a joke and a disgrace by the other eight great families.

However, right now, no one was laughing at him.

On the contrary, when Jacob's gaze came over, they all admitted defeat one by one!

Only then did Jacob reveal a satisfied expression.

"Anyone who has made a move against the Goldsmith family will compensate ten-fold, any problem?" Jacob looked at the patriarchs.

They all nodded in grievance!

However, everyone had a same thought in their hearts.

Once they left this place and returned to their houses safe and sound, they would invite the top Virtuosos in their families to take actions against Jacob.

Jacob's move made everyone submit.

But at the same time, he also offended the nine great families in the capital city!

There were at least one or two top Virtuosos in each great family.

The nine great families could sweep through the entire China if they worked together.

Although Jacob was strong, and even if he had already begun to comprehend the Divine Phase, he wouldn't be a match for the top Virtuosos as long as he hadn't gotten to the Divinity Phase!

But they all concealed their emotions in their hearts.

None of them said a single word, nor did they even have any eye contact or made a movement. But all of them were in unison.

Such a tacit understanding was unprecedented.

Jacob looked at them and sneered.

The nine great families were just-so-so.

Even people who had entered the Divinity Phase couldn't frighten him.

Not to mention top Virtuosos.

Even if there were a hundred of them, he could slay all of them with one sword!

Jacob knew what they were thinking about. Today he only wanted to give them a deterrent. There was going to be a big show tomorrow.

The corner of Jacob's mouth curled into a cold smile, and he said, "Since you've conceded, you can go back now."

All the patriarchs heaved a sigh of relief.

They had figured out Jacob's ability. Then dealing with him would be easy.

Although Jacob was powerful, he was still a brat who didn't experience much, so there was no need to regard him as a worry!

He thought he could rest assured after we conceded. But he was wrong! Death was waiting for him!

They made no communication after they left. But they all knew what they were going to do together.

After they all returned home.

All the nine great families in the capital city had received a piece of news.

Tomorrow at noon, Jacob would fight against all the top Virtuosos of the nine great families at Heavenly Lake!
