I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 185

Catherine had an indifferent demeanor and was free from desires. It was pretty challenging for the others to get rid of her. No matter how dangerous the move was, she could always handle it calmly. She had a similar state of mind as Jonathan's Great Emperor Seal, but still, her attacks were lacking in ferocity.

Nevertheless, Catherine's incessant attacks had caused Simon a headache.

At the same time, Jonathan seized the opportunity to use Shadow Step and blocked Simon's path from behind. He swung out his leg and gave the latter a Blade Kick.

Having strength up to two thousand five hundred kilograms, he exerted a powerful force in every punch and kick.

Simon was never an easy person. When Jonathan and Catherine constantly attacked him, he swiftly stepped diagonally forward, swept away Catherine's attack with his golden brass knuckles, dodging beneath her arms.

It was Drunken Move, his ultimate skill to save his life.

After Simon escaped, he fled in the jungle's direction without looking back. He knew he would not have the chance to win against the two today.

If he were to continue the fight, he could have lost his life.

It was never easy to tackle Simon when he had decided to escape. Even if Jonathan unleashed all his power, it would still be hard for him to take Simon's life.

Therefore, Jonathan and Catherine did not continue to hunt him.

When Simon escaped to the edge of the jungle, he noticed that Jonathan and Catherine did not continue to go after him.

Immediately, he paused and turned around to face Jonathan and Catherine.

Since no one could get the upper hand, the situation turned into a deadlock.

If both parties continued to be at an impasse, none of them would be able to complete the mission. Eventually, all of them would be eliminated from the game.

Before entering the jungle, Simon cast one last look at Jonathan.

He did not utter a word throughout the process, as though he was a grim reaper who only collected souls silently.

Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief after Simon left.

Holding Catherine's hand, he stroked her cheek with his injured hand and smiled. “Catherine, you're amazing.”

Catherine, still expressionless, did not show a tiny hint of joy on her otherwise cold face after Jonathan complimented her. Somehow, Jonathan could feel the peace in her heart.

“She likes me to compliment her!” he assumed inwardly.

Shortly after, Jonathan and Catherine walked to the side of Lesley and Elijah and sat cross-legged.

“Jonathan, it seems there's nothing Simon can do about you now.” Elijah was slightly excited.

“But there's nothing we can do about Simon either.” Lesley sighed. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Simon is one with great wisdom. I'm afraid that he will come up with another evil plot soon,” said Jonathan in a low voice.

“I'm not worried about this, though. If you and Ms. Catherine do not wish to fight, there's no way Simon can harm you. So do the other way around. If both sides continue to be in an impasse, no one will benefit from the situation,” said Lesley.

“It's fine if we can't end Simon and remain in a stalemate like this. We'll face another difficult problem between all of us, including you and your wife, Jonathan.” Elijah suddenly spoke.

Lesley was taken aback, as he had never thought about what would happen after that. Now that Elijah mentioned it, Lesley could not help but feel upset.

Jonathan could not help but take a glance at Catherine. Still, the lady was expressionless, as if nothing would put her in a difficult position.

In truth, Jonathan was unsure of what was running on her mind.

After all, an emotionless like her was not dumb and knew the rules of the game.

Jonathan did not dare to imagine what might have happened after they took Simon's life.

The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. Thus, he decided to stop thinking about it.

Since they had known each other for a long time, there was no better ending than having Simon end their lives.

However, this was just an absurd thought of Jonathan's.

Soon, it was nightfall.

In the dead of night, a bright moon was hanging in the sky.

There was a chill in the air following a drop in the temperature.

Such a scene would remind one of a line of poetry, “As the bright moon shines over the sea, from far away you share this moment with me.”

It was a poem about missing loved ones.

Suddenly, the faces of Jessica, Yasmin, Jennifer, and Winnie came to Jonathan's mind. He had thought of Polly and Mabel and reminisced about the days in Smealand with Kieran and the others.

Apart from that, he had remembered his master.

The world worked in mysterious ways. Jonathan's life had changed tremendously in just one month,

and he was stuck on Ophidian Island at the current moment.

While Jonathan was feeling upset, Simon suddenly showed up

The man, dressing in black, exuded a cold and menacing aura under the moonlight.

It was as though he was a devil from hell, sending a chill down one's spine.

Upon seeing that, Jonathan and Catherine immediately stood up. They dared not take it lightly.

Simon, however, did not take the initiative to attack them this time, but he approached slowly and stood about ten meters away from them instead.

Both parties stared at each other from afar.

Finally, Simon parted his lips and mumbled in his usual icy cold tone, “I've thought of different strategies this afternoon, but soon, I realized that I could never stand a chance against both of you. I must admit that I can't finish all of you off.” He then lifted his head to look at Jonathan before adding, “However, you guys can't take my life either!”

Jonathan looked at Simon and frowned. “What are you doing here then?”

Simon gave Jonathan a cold glare as he replied, “I know that you do care about Elijah and Lesley's lives. And if I want to take their lives now, both of you won't stand a chance to protect them at all.”

Unfortunately, what Simon said was the truth.

Not to mention Jonathan and Catherine would be away to search for food. Even if they had kept Elijah and Lesley under guard, Simon could still take the latter's lives.

Elijah and Lesley would never stand a chance to survive once Simon threw a few snakes while launching the attack.

Once again, Jonathan frowned. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Simon replied, “Since I can never stand a chance against both of you, it also means that Elijah and Lesley no longer have any value to me. Thus, they should die.”

Jonathan's pupils constricted instantly.

Although Elijah and Lesley were upset, they could do nothing.

In a deep voice, Jonathan said, “If you want to take their lives, you could have done it earlier. I believe you've had something else on your mind for bringing this up now.”

Simon answered calmly, “You're right. Let's make a deal. I'll spare the two of them if you accept it.”

Jonathan asked, “What kind of deal?”

Simon answered, “Six days later, it'll be the last day of the elimination round. I'll give you six days to recuperate. After six days, I'll remove the golden brass knuckles to have a fair fight with you. If I win, I'll end your life, your wife's, Elijah's, and Lesley's, and become the winner of this elimination round. You can take my life if you win. As for others, whether you want to take their lives has nothing to do with me anymore.”

Jonathan fell silent upon hearing that.

He did now know whether he should accept the deal.

If he did not, Simon would end Elijah and Lesley on the spot.

This was definitely not a joke.

Moreover, accepting the deal was the only way to resolve the impasse. If the stalemate continued, it would benefit none of them.

Jonathan pondered for a moment before he agreed, “All right, I'll accept the deal.”

Eagerness and hope glinted in Simon's eyes. “Good to hear that. You have my word!” With that, he turned around and entered the jungle in the blink of an eye.

After Simon left, Elijah and Lesley heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling they had journeyed to hell and back.

“Thank you, Jonathan,” said Lesley earnestly.

Jonathan flashed him a smile but did not say anything.

“Jonathan, what're your chances of winning the battle against Simon after recovering from your injury?” asked Elijah.

As a Nascent Soul expert, Simon had a greater cultivation level than Logan, whom Jonathan had met earlier.

Fortunately, Jonathan possessed the power of Haemocore. His cultivation had also reached middle- stage now. He was no longer the powerless person as when he faced Logan.

As such, when he heard Elijah's question, he pondered for a while before answering, “Fifty-fifty.”

“Fifty-fifty? I'm afraid that Simon thinks he has an eighty percent chance of winning the battle.” Lesley could not help but smile bitterly, deducing that Simon would win the battle.

Jonathan did not deny it and repeated what he had said earlier, “Let's do our best and leave the rest in God's hands.”

“I only hope that Simon does not achieve a breakthrough and advance to Celestial Soul over the next few days. Otherwise, you won't stand a chance against him anymore, Jonathan.” Lesley sighed.

“It's useless to think about all of that now. Instead of hoping Simon does not achieve a breakthrough, I'd rather intensify my cultivation and see if I can advance to the final stage of Nascent Soul.” As soon as his words fell, Jonathan sat cross-legged with his eyes shut.

“Great Emperor Seal, Syllable Power, integrate!”

Jonathan commanded them inwardly, trying to gather the broken-down vigor and reform it into Force.

As the syllabic power traversed inside his body, he could feel the broken-down vigor flowing in the blood. However, he had no better way to refine it.

Jonathan understood that it would be better not to rush for now.

After all, he had advanced himself in a short time.

That was a critical part of the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

During the refining process, his blood would be purified to enhance his power for another time.

Hence, he must wait for the right time to refine the broken-down vigor, and there were no shortcuts.

Jonathan sighed inwardly, knowing that it was impossible for him to break through to the final stage of Nascent Soul in six days.

The only thing he could do now was to solidify his cultivation, condense the blood, and strengthen the power of Haemocore.

Five days had passed in the blink of an eye.

During those five days, Jonathan continued to search for food with Catherine.

He did not dare to remain separate from Catherine, as he was worried that Simon would break his promise and harm Catherine. If anything happened to her, he could never forgive himself.

Nevertheless, Jonathan usually meditated after having fruits but not tonight.

As the battle with Simon would begin the next day, he decided to reward himself and preserve his strength to keep himself in his best state.
