Chapter 178

Chester's expression turned pale. “Stop accusing me without any concrete evidence, Elijah.”

Jonathan glanced coldly at Chester and spoke. “He's not accusing you. The truth will be revealed onceyou eat this fish.” Then, Jonathan passed the grilled fish in his hand to Chester.

Chester extended his hand and accepted the fish before throwing it upward and harshly stepping on it.He glared at Jonathan. “What are you implying? Do you doubt me?”

Jonathan scoffed in return. “You must be a fool. Did you truly believe that no one can rebel against youbecause you're the team leader? Do you think you're god? Why can't I be doubtful of you?”

Chester was stunned at Jonathan's words. He never expected someone as mild-mannered asJonathan to be so intimidating.

“Fine then. Since you say so, there's nothing left for us to discuss,” Chester said and turned away.

“Stop!” Jonathan yelled.

Jonathan turned around to look at Chester. “What do you want?”

“Did I give you the permission to leave?” Jonathan said.

“What a joke!” Chester shouted. “Do I even need your permission to leave?”

“Lay down!” Jonathan ordered with a cold gleam flashing through his eyes. He decided to stopdawdling with Chester.

Immediately after, Jonathan activated his spirit.

Jonathan expanded his Great Sage Force Field, and his spirit filled the air as if it was smoke.

At that moment, Jonathan activated the power in his Haemocore.

Jonathan's strength reached the final stage of Nascent Soul, which allowed him to exert a force equalto two thousand kilograms.

In a blink of an eye, he used Shadow Step and appeared before Chester's eyes.

The color drained from Chester's face as his heart stopped for an instant when faced with Jonathan'sterrifying force field.

Chester was utterly stunned and did not know how to react for a second. All he wanted was to escape.

But just as Chester turned around, Jonathan's Great Sage Seal landed on him.

Suddenly, there was a black force field on Chester's head, and he felt like ten thousand pounds wereweighing down on his head. Chester had nowhere to hide.

Amid danger, Chester's eyes reddened with rage. He pushed upward against the force field with hishands.

Under Jonathan's Great Sage Seal, the Destino Art crushed Chester's fist into dust.

Jonathan forced through Chester's vitality using his force field. At the same time, he attacked using theGreat Sage Seal and smashed it on Chester's head with one swift action of his palm.

A crunch was heard and blood poured out from Chester.

As cruel and sly as Chester was, he died immediately.

Jonathan then retracted his force field. He gradually calmed down as his rage vanished like how hisforce field disappeared.

It was as if the previous events had nothing to do with Jonathan at all.

Elijah stood aside in shock as he watched the events unfold before him. Both Elijah and Chesterbelieved that Jonathan was the weakest. Now, Elijah realized that they were outrageously wrong.

He could not believe that Chester could not fight against Jonathan even though Chester had solidcultivation.

In reality, it wasn't Jonathan who turned the tables. It was Chester that had weak psychologicalresilience. Chester was frightened at that moment, and all that was on his mind was to run. Chester losthis fighting spirit. It was equal to gods losing their godhood. Hence, it was expected that Chester stoodno chance against Jonathan.

After Jonathan murdered Chester, he walked to Catherine's side. Catherine remained expressionlessdespite all that had occurred. Jonathan held Catherine's hand and said, “Let's go.”

“Sure!” Catherine replied obediently.

The two then headed toward the forest.

Elijah couldn't help but ask, “Where are the both of you heading to?”

Jonathan answered, “Staying at the beach will make us an open target. It's way safer to hide in thewoods.”

Elijah had mixed feelings. “Since Chester is dead, our prior promise is now null. Aren't you going to killme?”

“You just reminded me of our promise. I owe you my gratitude for that. If I were to kill you, that wouldmean that I am black-hearted. Don't you think so?” Jonathan said.

“We eventually have to face off against each other. Don't forget our current terms of victory,” Elijahreminded.

Jonathan felt conflicted at Elijah's words. He stayed quiet for a few seconds before he spoke. “I neverforgot the rules. Even if you are fated to die, you shall not die by my hand.”

Jonathan wanted to leave with Catherine as soon as he uttered those words.

To his dismay, Elijah continued the conversation. “Can I tag along with the both of you?”

Jonathan glanced at Elijah and noticed the hope twinkling in Elijah's eyes.

Jonathan thought about it and realized that Elijah was in a pinch. First of all, it was because Elijah'scultivation was no match for Simon's. Other than that, the other candidates had formed groups of theirown, leaving no room for Elijah to join them.

Jonathan and Catherine were a pair, leaving Elijah to fend for himself alone.

Jonathan sighed and agreed, “All right!” He could not reject Elijah's request due to the circumstances.

Jonathan felt in debt to Elijah for reminding him of their promise.

Even without Elijah's reminder, Jonathan would remember what Elijah did for him.

Jonathan would remember the favor Elijah did for him even if he did not mention their promise. Inaddition, if it weren't for what Jonathan did, Elijah would not be in such a pitiful state. Elijah and Chesterwere comrades, but Elijah betrayed Chester to help Jonathan.

Elijah felt a wave of relief when Jonathan agreed.

Soon, the three of them entered the forest.

Jonathan found some wild bananas in the forest and offered some to Elijah.

Then, Jonathan continued to pick some wild strawberries rich in water content.

After that, Jonathan brought Elijah and Catherine to a tree to hide from the other candidates.

The top of the tree was relatively safe and silent.

The three of them enjoyed some peaches after eating the strawberries and bananas. They nourishedthemselves and it felt comforting.

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

The air was dead silent on the deserted island. The hustle and bustle of the city were nowhere to beheard, nor were there any lights. It was as if they were cut off from the rest of the world.

All that accompanied them were poisonous snakes and fierce beats.

However, the wildlife did not attack Jonathan and the others. The animals most likely sensed thatJonathan and the others were not beings they could intimidate.

It seems that the animals had sharp instincts.

On the other hand, Jonathan had no clue what would happen next. All he could do was go with theflow.

Meanwhile, something was stirring up among another group of three.

There were now only seven survivors on the island.

Jonathan's group consisted of three people, while Simon was alone. The remaining group was a groupof three.

Initially, Walter was the leader of the other group. After Walter died, everyone recommended Lesley asthe next group leader because Lesley was dependable, earnest, and had the strongest cultivationamong the three group members.

Therefore, Lesley was the best choice to be their leader. His strategy was to remain hidden in the forestand observe the situation.

The other two members of Lesley's team were James Garnes and Tony Duffy.

Although they were all at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, Lesley was the only one adept and brave inbattle.

James and Tony were trained with prominent families and lived a sheltered life. Thus, they lacked thecourage to fight.

For now, Lesley ordered them to hide on top of a tree and take shifts. One person would stay awakeand guard the other two while they rested.

Lesley let James handle the late-night shift while he watched over the other two during the early night.

To conserve energy, Lesley and Tony fell into a deep slumber.

James sneakily hopped off the tree after making sure that Lesley and Tony were fast asleep.

He swiftly headed into the darkness of the woods without waking Lesley or Tony up.

After walking for five hundred meters, James stopped in his tracks. James was shivering. It wasapparent that he was scared.

It was also at this moment that James heard the soft sound of someone approaching.

James turned to see Simon, who stared back at James as if he was the reaper of death.

Simon's had a cold and murderous look. He remained expressionless as he stared at James.

A chill ran down James' spine. “Simon, I'm willing to help you. Please spare my life.”

Simon spoke without an ounce of emotion. “If I wanted to kill you, you would have been dead by now.”

James' emotions stabilized after hearing what Simon said.

Simon asked, “How are you planning to help me?”

James answered, “I can tell Lesley and the others that you are too strong as an opponent. I will thensuggest that we team up with Jonathan's team and cooperate to attack you. Otherwise, it would bedifficult for us to kill you since you're hidden alone in the forest. It would be hard for us to deal with youunless we work together.”

“And?” Simon asked.

James added, “Then... Then as long as I gain their trust, I can leave a signal for you to come andambush them.”

“Are you not afraid that I would kill you in the end?” Simon questioned.

“To be honest, Simon, I have my reasons for helping you. Once my group teams up with Jonathan, wewould all be in a stalemate, and it wouldn't be easy for you to fight us. If we remain in a deadlock,everyone will die. On the contrary, if I bring you over to kill Lesley and Tony, I won't have the chance tojoin Jonathan's group because they won't trust me. They will be wary of me by then. If we go over anddiscuss cooperation as a team, it would be easier. I'll sit aside and wait for my chance to reap thebenefits when you try to kill them. If you run out of energy or are injured, I'll take advantage of thesituation and try to kill you by myself. It is my only chance, so I have to put everything I have on theline,” James clarified.

Simon glanced at James. “Okay. Let's go with your plan.” Simon vanished into the dark once more.

James returned to where his teammates were too. At first, James was quivering as he spoke to Simon.After Simon left, James was composed, and a ferocious glint filled his eyes.

Everyone had schemes in their minds. No one was a fool in this battle.

James hid his intelligence and stayed humble, unlike Chester. James knew that Simon was keeping aneye out for him, so he walked away from the others.

James hoped to bring Lesley to meet Jonathan to team up with Jonathan. He also planned how Simonwould kill them afterward.

However, James' true intention was to get someone to ambush Simon when the time was right.

His plans were very detailed and meticulously thought out.

James' cultivation was at a disadvantage when compared to the others present. Hence, he needed torely on his intelligence to grasp the chance to survive.

After sealing a deal with Simon, James sneaked back to the tree and rested for the remainder of theday.

Lesley and Tony did not wake up from their sleep, and Lesley took after James after James' shift wasover.

It was James' turn to sleep.

The next morning, the sun shone through the trees and spilled onto the ground.

James told Lesley and Tony his suggestion to work with Jonathan's team to hunt Simon down.

Simon came and went as he pleased like a ghost, which was a threat to their survival.

As long as Simon was alive, everyone would live in anxiety.

Therefore, James' suggestion gained Lesley and Tony's agreement instantly.

The three of them quickly went to search for Jonathan and the others.

Half an hour later, Lesley's team managed to locate Jonathan's team.

Jonathan and the others heard the sound of footsteps and jumped down from the tree.
