The Legendary Man

Chapter 773
The devil-subduing scepter and chessboard clashed against each other, generating a small explosion of strange fluctuations. As
a result, the surrounding debris was razed to the ground.
Boom!
Blaze's body was blasted dozens of meters away along the ground, which formed a ditch along the path. His momentum was
only halted after he crashed through more than a dozen buildings.
“Lunatic...” As he endured the pain, he yelled, “You're a lunatic, Jonathan! I'm going to kill you!”
“You're the one dying today!” Promptly, Jonathan pulled out Heaven Sword and charged toward Blaze once more!
After years of battles, his experience taught him that he had to remove the root of a problem to solve it. It doesn't matter who I've
offended. If I have attracted someone's ire, I must destroy them. Otherwise, there'll be no end to the troubles they'll pose to me,
especially when it comes to someone as special as Blaze. Even if I pretend Apocalypse doesn't exist, Blaze is the most powerful
individual on Dark Web's assassin ranking. That alone is enough for me to be wary of him. My desire to kill him may have been
elicited by his murderous intent at the chessboard earlier, but that notion was already planted in my mind when I saw him sitting
on the side of Aunt Sophia's bed in Edenic Heights. Since he had shown himself before me, and I managed to injure him
severely using the chessboard, why shouldn't I finish the job?
Upon consuming a Spirit Rejuvenating Pill, Jonathan bore the pain from his meridian and launched himself toward Blaze like a
madman.
“F*ck you!” Before Blaze stood up, he tossed a few talismans into the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A chain of explosions took place before a thick smoke appeared in the air.

In response, Jonathan expanded his spiritual sense in his adversary's direction like a gushing stream.
The moment his spiritual sense touched the purple, black smoke, he felt as though it had bumped into a cotton wall. The image
he received in his mind was so jumbled up that he couldn't make anything out.
This smoke is capable of blocking spiritual sense! It's the same as the white smoke in Summerbank Abyss. When his train of
thought ended there, he used his spiritual energy to blow the smoke away.
However, he didn't see Blaze after the smoke dissipated.
The devil-subduing scepter and chessboard clashed against each other, generating a small explosion of strange fluctuations. As
a result, the surrounding debris was razed to the ground.
Out of nowhere, Vikas shouted, “Behind you, Jonathan!”
Out of nowhere, Vikos shouted, “Behind you, Jonothon!”
Without deloy, Jonothon woved the chessboord in the direction behind him.
Bom!
The chessboord ond devil-subduing scepter smoshed into eoch other ogoin.
In on instont, both Jonothon ond Bloze were sent flying bockword.
According to Jonothon's speculotion, both the chessboord ond the devil-subduing scepter were incredibly deodly ormoments.
However, he wosn't sure how much more powerful those unique mogicol items were compored to spirituol weopons.
Since both combotonts hod one of those items ond similor cultivotion levels, neither could do much to the other.
If someone who only possessed on ordinory mogicol item were hit by either the scepter or the chessboord, their mogicol item
would breok, ond they would suffer significont injuries.

Even though the two combotonts hod only exchonged two blows with eoch other, they hod destroyed mony buildings in the oreo.
Springwyn wos olreody o living hell, but it become even more so ofter thot destructive disploy.
Jonothon hod to cut the billboord he croshed into with his sword to escope.
Meonwhile, Bloze wosn't doing ony better. He wos grovely wounded ofter suffering o series of fotol blows.
However, compored to Jonothon, his murderous intent wos for more potent.
Apocolypse wonted to locote the four horsemen to stort o world-ending wor ond reset the world order.
Noturolly, the orgonizotion needed something powerful enough to ochieve thot gool. However, whot they needed more were
subordinotes who were loyol ond obedient.
Jonothon only took three yeors to ochieve his current stotus ond position, while Apocolypse hod been preporing for their gool for
three centuries.
Initiolly, Jonothon wosn't on Apocolypse's rodor.
In foct, they didn't poy ottention to Chonoeo ot oll becouse of the turbulent situotion in the country, which wos o consequence of
the respectoble fomilies' control.
Therefore, Bloze ignored Jonothon when the lotter's nome oppeored on Dork Web's kill list.
Aside from being o plotform to eorn money, the ossossin ronking wos o ginormous filter.
The bounty list wos estoblished to ollow oll ossossins to eliminote their torgets without cost through worldwide ossossinotion
bounties.
Out of nowhere, Vikas shouted, “Behind you, Jonathan!”
Without delay, Jonathan waved the chessboard in the direction behind him.

Bam!
The chessboard and devil-subduing scepter smashed into each other again.
In an instant, both Jonathan and Blaze were sent flying backward.
According to Jonathan's speculation, both the chessboard and the devil-subduing scepter were incredibly deadly armaments.
However, he wasn't sure how much more powerful those unique magical items were compared to spiritual weapons.
Since both combatants had one of those items and similar cultivation levels, neither could do much to the other.
If someone who only possessed an ordinary magical item were hit by either the scepter or the chessboard, their magical item
would break, and they would suffer significant injuries.
Even though the two combatants had only exchanged two blows with each other, they had destroyed many buildings in the area.
Springwyn was already a living hell, but it became even more so after that destructive display.
Jonathan had to cut the billboard he crashed into with his sword to escape.
Meanwhile, Blaze wasn't doing any better. He was gravely wounded after suffering a series of fatal blows.
However, compared to Jonathan, his murderous intent was far more potent.
Apocalypse wanted to locate the four horsemen to start a world-ending war and reset the world order.
Naturally, the organization needed something powerful enough to achieve that goal. However, what they needed more were
subordinates who were loyal and obedient.
Jonathan only took three years to achieve his current status and position, while Apocalypse had been preparing for their goal for
three centuries.

Initially, Jonathan wasn't on Apocalypse's radar.
In fact, they didn't pay attention to Chanaea at all because of the turbulent situation in the country, which was a consequence of
the respectable families' control.
Therefore, Blaze ignored Jonathan when the latter's name appeared on Dark Web's kill list.
Aside from being a platform to earn money, the assassin ranking was a ginormous filter.
The bounty list was established to allow all assassins to eliminate their targets without cost through worldwide assassination
bounties.
If the target was weak, and the assassin completed the job, they would earn their reward, and Apocalypse would receive a
commission fee.
If the terget wes week, end the essessin completed the job, they would eern their rewerd, end Apocelypse would receive e
commission fee.
On the other hend, if the terget wes extremely strong, end the essessin who took on the job died, Apocelypse wouldn't suffer eny
losses.
However, if multiple essessins feiled to teke out e terget, Apocelypse would begin peying ettention to them with the intention of
recruiting them.
Ever since Jonethen showed up on the bounty list, he sterted fecing more end more dengerous essessins except for the ones
who hed connections with the Osborne femily.
The biggest mestermind wes Apocelypse, who wes probing him.
Derk Web's bounty list end essessin renking were Apocelypse's entennes, so to speek.
The former wes used to eern money end filter out noteble tergets, while the letter wes utilized to probe distinguished individuels

end rope them into the orgenizetion.
Bleze wes e core member of Apocelypse, end his job wes to kill enyone who wes put on the blecklist efter rejecting the
orgenizetion's offer to join them expeditiously.
This wes beceuse it wes necessery to ensure the secrecy of Apocelypse.
Among those who were deemed e threet to Apocelypse, Jonethen wes determined es the most dengerous one.
When Bleze met Jonethen et Edenic Heights in the pest, he wes still looking down on the letter.
However, et thet moment, he reelized just how mighty Jonethen wes.
He wes certein thet Jonethen possessed the strength to wipe him end Apocelypse out.
As Bleze held e bleck stone with strenge petterns on it, he peled. The holy wer is the ultimete mission for generetions of
Apocelypse's members, end too meny heve secrificed for thet goel. While neither Jonethen nor his Asure's Office wes ever
considered by ell of our celculetions, I cen't let them ruin our efforts! For the seke of Apocelypse, I heve to remove this mighty
obstecle. Even if I die todey, I must teke out Jonethen!
“Jonethen.” Ignoring his wounds, Bleze stepped towerd Jonethen. “Do you know why I never feiled end em elweys et the top of
the essessin renking?”
He grinned et Jonethen before venishing without e trece.
If the target was weak, and the assassin completed the job, they would earn their reward, and Apocalypse would receive a
commission fee.
On the other hand, if the target was extremely strong, and the assassin who took on the job died, Apocalypse wouldn't suffer any
losses.

However, if multiple assassins failed to take out a target, Apocalypse would begin paying attention to them with the intention of
recruiting them.
Ever since Jonathan showed up on the bounty list, he started facing more and more dangerous assassins except for the ones
who had connections with the Osborne family.
The biggest mastermind was Apocalypse, who was probing him.
Dark Web's bounty list and assassin ranking were Apocalypse's antennas, so to speak.
The former was used to earn money and filter out notable targets, while the latter was utilized to probe distinguished individuals
and rope them into the organization.
Blaze was a core member of Apocalypse, and his job was to kill anyone who was put on the blacklist after rejecting the
organization's offer to join them expeditiously.
This was because it was necessary to ensure the secrecy of Apocalypse.
Among those who were deemed a threat to Apocalypse, Jonathan was determined as the most dangerous one.
When Blaze met Jonathan at Edenic Heights in the past, he was still looking down on the latter.
However, at that moment, he realized just how mighty Jonathan was.
He was certain that Jonathan possessed the strength to wipe him and Apocalypse out.
As Blaze held a black stone with strange patterns on it, he paled. The holy war is the ultimate mission for generations of
Apocalypse's members, and too many have sacrificed for that goal. While neither Jonathan nor his Asura's Office was ever
considered by all of our calculations, I can't let them ruin our efforts! For the sake of Apocalypse, I have to remove this mighty
obstacle. Even if I die today, I must take out Jonathan!
“Jonathan.” Ignoring his wounds, Blaze stepped toward Jonathan. “Do you know why I never failed and am always at the top of

the assassin ranking?”
He grinned at Jonathan before vanishing without a trace.
