Chapter 159 - You Are Next

Seeing that the fight is not going according to the way he has planned, Jason decided to separate the two into having a one on one match with them but no matter what he did, he still wasn't able to separate them and was left with no choice, he ended up battling the two of them.

Apart from having problems dealing with the technique they are using against him, he has been faring quite well against them.

After his breakthrough to the seven-stage of the foundation realm, Jason discover that the amount of spiritual energy that is needed to use the lightning boot is not as tasky as I use to be. At most he will be able to sustain it for about ten minutes.

So using the lightning technique against the sleeping members of the Wallace family was quite effective since they are in a weakened state. Swinging the halberd at the first member of the Wallace family as an energy arc was left in his wake as it went after his opponent who has to stress himself before he was able to fend off against the attack. But just as he was thinking of delivering an attack of his own, Jason was already before him as he threw the halberd that is coated with him spiritual energy at the other opponent to himself time.

Throwing his fist at him was not a good idea since his opponent was anticipating that attack but was the only thing he could do. With his fist coming close to his opponent's face, a fist was also thrown towards him but it was as if he has expected him to do the same thing since it is the only way to fend of his attack. With an evil grin on his face, Jason quickly withdraws his fist and send a kick at the top of the opponent's head which he easily dodge but that was when he felt a pain in his back as a warm liquid begin to flow down.

Surprise as to how he let his guard down, he swing his arm in hope that he would be able to go hit Jason but failed as Jason quickly let go of what he was holding before throwing a powerful punch at his jaw after he has successfully avoided the swing.

After he was done with all these series of attacks, Jason decided to back off to catch his breath and at the same time the other member was already coming at him, retrieving his halberd with a wave of his hand, Jason went to approach him since he has already done critical damage to the other one, he should have enough time to deal with the approaching enemy as he stretches the halberd at the incoming enemy only for his halberd to be deflated to the side by the enemy sword before a kick follow suit as it lands squarely on Jason's stomach as he was sent back.

After he was sent back, Jason quickly rolled to the side to avoid a sword attack that was aiming at his neck before kicking the sword off his opponent hand before sending another kick which his opponent held in place before slamming him hard into the ground as Jason let out a mouthful of blood when he was slammed into the ground the second time as a pit was created.

"This guy seems to be more powerful compared to the rest" said Jason as he struggled out of the pit with a bloodstain at the edge of his mouth.

"You are just lucky that they are not in their peak strength else I wonder how you are going to defend yourself against them" replied the bracelet.

Seeing that the young man is still standing after taking a smashing from him, the member of the Wallace who has done the damage to him signal the other member who has slightly recovered from the beaten as they began to close in on him which really got him worried since he has been injured as has not found the time to relieve himself of the pain, they are already thinking of tagging against him.

"This is really becoming troublesome" said Jason with a frown as he look at the two closing on him.

"Quick boy get out of their encirclement before it becomes too late" warn the bracelet noticing something unusual about the two.

Jason quickly activated the lightning boot technique as he dashed out of the encirclement and the moment he did, something spark in between the two as a formation was activated at the spot not far from where Jason was standing forming an energy net. Seeing that the young man was able to leave the place without being caught in the energy net, they couldn't help but have a surprising look on their face since it has never happened before that they would miss their target.

"How did he know we were going to set a trap" asked the first member of the Wallace family.

"I also don't get how he was able to notice something strange about our movement when he looked like a cornered beast not quite long" said the other member of the Wallace family as he shot Jason a look.

"You must be dreaming if you think that you will be able to take me down with those little tricks of yours" commented Jason with a smile on his face.

"How did you know that we were going to set a trap for you" asked the first member of the Wallace family.

"I don't remember me saying earlier that I am going to tell you how I was able to predict your move before you execute it but since you are willing to know that much, how about giving me your friend's head and I promise to tell you" reply Jason.

"You must be joking if you think that we are going to listen to what you have to say" said the second member as he abandon the formation before dashing at Jason who just stood there with a smile on his face and when the opponent is only three kilometers away from him, Jason threw the halberd at him as a distraction and after he has knocked the halberd to the side, his eyes opened in fright as he saw a fist coming for his neck which he wasn't expecting and before he could think of defending himself, the fist has already reached is target as it pierces through his throat and without wasting time Jason quickly withdraw his fist since it is not the right time for him to absorb the energy.

"You shouldn't have come at me in that manner when knowing full well that you are not in the right state to fight" said Jason as he watch the body falling on the ground.

"You… You killed him" said the first member as he look at his friend's body lying there. 

"Looks like I did and you are going to be next" reply Jason with a smile.

"I am going to reap you to thread you bastard" roar the enemy before charging at Jason more fiercely.

Pulling back as he avoid a snack from the enemy, Jason withdraw his halberd before stabbing it at his opponent who easily hit it to the side to avoid getting stabbed before going forward as he sent another punch at Jason only for him to raise the halberd to meet with the fist but he later regretted his action as he was sent flying before smacking into a building. 

"What is going on, how come he is able to get stronger when he is still in his weaken state" complain Jason as he got out of the wall before rolling to the side to avoid another attack of the enemy.

"He is blinded by rage when seeing you kill his friend so it should be expected" replied the bracelet.

"This fight is going to be a lot troublesome compared to when I was facing the two of them" said Jason as he begin to avoid getting hit.

"Just try to bend time until he runs out of stamina" replied the bracelet with a light chuckle.

"It's not funny to be battling against someone who is stronger than me" said Jason.

"It is since your opponent is in a weaken state" replied the bracelet.

Choosing to ignore the bracelet and focus more on the battle with the remaining member of the Wallace family before their battle draws more attention to them.

Jason was able to avoid getting more hit after he was hit once and after battling for some minute, Jason was able to get some hit on him until he couldn't use the lightning boot anymore which make the battle more difficult for him to fight since he couldn't match up to the speed of his opponent which ends in him getting smack once in a while getting wounds all over his body
