Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 70: Enjoy Your Trip Down in the Underworld!

The crowd felt as light as a feather once the invisible constraint on their body had vanished entirely.

They turned their heads towards the source of the voice and exclaimed, “It’s him?”

“Oh my God!”

Those who had witnessed Jacob’s unforgettable capabilities on the stage the other day shrieked in

ecstasy.

On the other hand, those who had missed the chance to watch him showcasing his skills had also

heard from the others that he was the one who had defeated Tom Shaw, the man whom was at the

pinnacle of martial arts. Jacob was idolized by all the younger generations in the Shaw family after that

day and he had almost become a divine being in their word of mouth.

The father and son duo, Cornell and Tom, let out a huge sigh of relief as soon as they saw Jacob’s

arrival. Cornell was relieved that he had made the right choice by choosing to stand on Jacob’s side.

However, his joy was not long lasting as anxiety soon crept up on him again. Jacob was likely no more

than a Virtuoso-to-be and even though he wanted to help the Shaw family, he would not be able to

trump Darnell.

“What a trivial skill!” Darnell narrowed his eyes and glared at the figure in the air, some colour seemed

to have returned to his white-washed face.

It was indeed possible to tread on air if one had profound internal strength as he himself could do it too.

However, the game was not worth the candle as it was a waste of one’s internal power. It was just an

ostentatious move for showing off.

“Only youngsters will employ such a flashy move to enjoy the limelight. Let me see how much internal

power you still have left from flaunting this move!” Darnell sneered coldly.

Jacob descended slowly from the middle of the air and uttered coolly, “Enough to finish you off!”

“How conceited of you! Even a Virtuoso would not dare to say that he could kill me!” Darnell was

shaken up as if he had heard something that was ultra-ridiculous.

“I am thankful that you had come to our rescue, Jacob, but Darnell was presumed to be the best

Virtuoso that had ever lived…” Cornell hurriedly chipped in as he wanted to discuss his plan with

Jacob. Now that they had one more Virtuoso-to-be on their side, it would be in the Shaws’ best interest

if the negotiation could turn out well as Cornell did not have the confidence to beat Darnell even if he

joined hands with Jacob. The Shaws were willing to hand over whatever that they could offer to

Darnell.

“There’s no need to continue!” Jacob swiftly cut in on his words.

Cornell was stunned on the spot after being interrupted, and he sighed with a heavy heart. Jacob was

indeed very gifted and capable to have achieved the Would-be Virtuoso Phase at such a young age,

but unfortunately it was exactly due to his age that some arrogance and pride were still retained in his

character which had helped obscured the terror of Darnell.

Cornell was in a hurry to fill Jacob in on Darnell’s past and background.

Before he could manage to open his mouth, Darnell’s figure had disappeared from the chair he was

sitting on.

A dark mana had streaked across the sky as Darnell had instantly materialized in front of them.

Cornell’s body trembled in horror as he finally sensed the terror of Darnell, whom was known to be the

best Virtuoso. As a Virtuoso-to-be, Cornell was afraid that even he could not hold up to him if they were

to engage in a combat.

“Retreat!” Cornell shouted at Jacob while he immediately put into use of the Shaw family’s famous

Sliding Steps in his Would-be Virtuoso Phase to skid backwards for more than ten metres in a split

second. Even though he had managed to escape from the imminent danger, Darnell’s slap still made

his scalp tingled in fear.

Cornell had used up all his might to try to evade that murderous hit but he was still injured heavily by

the extreme pressure that followed afterwards which had resulted in him spitting out a mouthful of

blood.

An involuntary shiver had passed over Cornell’s body, causing him to tremble in almost every limb after

experiencing Darnell’s move that could wound others through the air. It was evident that he could still

wield moves that were on the Virtuoso level.

There was indeed an insurmountable barrier between the level of Virtuoso-to-be and Virtuoso!

“What an insignificant move.” Jacob looked on with disappointment pooling in his eyes as he was

wishing for some sort of incredible moves that would impress him.

Jacob’s insult and provocation had gotten on Darnell’s nerves as he turned his head to glare at the

young man, “I got to give it to you that you have guts for not dodging my attack!”

“However, a battle is not only about audacity and gallantry. You will never know the terror of a Virtuoso

as you have never been one!” he said with a chilly voice that gave everyone goose bumps as his grisly

smile turned more horrendous.

The extent of the aura emanating from his body was as if it could engulf and inundate the whole world,

and he had shot it towards Jacob to envelop him.

Jacob mocked with sarcasm, “You talk in such a manner as if you were a Virtuoso.”

“Even if you are a Virtuoso, I am still going to murder you as I please!” Jacob exploded with an earth-

shaking pressure that quickly torn apart Darnell’s aura that had overwhelmed the whole place.

Jacob was like an unsheathed sword and his formidable aura had suffocated everyone else in the

room.

Darnell’s pupils were dilated in incredulity. This youngster had strong capabilities, and his dominating

force of aura was even a notch above his own which was extremely frightening given that he was the

best Virtuoso in the realm.

“You are a little beyond my expectation, nonetheless all of this will end now as I am going to send you

to the afterlife!” Darnell snarled in a freakish way while his harrowing smile had gotten even more

sickening.

He proceeded to throw out a powerful punch while dark mana that was encapsulating his body were

surging frantically. A massive tiger in dark mana form materialized out of nowhere, roaring while

charging towards Jacob to swallow him with its bloody mouth.

Cornell was petrified as he watched the horrifying scene from afar. He never knew the extent of

Darnell’s terror until today. Jacob was as good as gone, and it was the only thought that could come to

his mind.

Cornell had intended to concede the match to them as this was the only way their generation and

Jacob could live past today. He could give up everything that was held by the Shaw family in order to

ensure their survival.

However, he soon swallowed the speech of concession that was already on the tip of his tongue after

witnessing the most unforgettable scene in his life.

“So, it turns out to be a devil scripture that you are wielding, huh? I will let you know how it feels when

all your efforts are in vain!” Jacob was not intimidated by the ginormous tiger in dark mana form, This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

instead there were glints of excitement in his eyes.

He stood firmly on the ground and with his raised arm, he grasped the air with all his five fingers. An

enormous palm in vague shape soon emerged in the air, grabbing the roaring tiger by its head as he

chanted, “Nine Secrets of Demon Emperor, Devour!” Jacob shouted softly. The black tiger’s dark mana

instantly crumbled and surged towards him like a rapid flowing river.

A satisfied grin appeared on his face as he absorbed all the dark mana that was swarming into his

body with a few deep breaths.

“How is that possible?” Darnell was almost startled by what he had witnessed.

A husky voice rang beside his ear in the next moment, “I hope you won’t let me down!”

Darnell could clearly sense the imminent danger that was engulfing him rapidly upon hearing the

remark. He tried to move to escape from Jacob but soon realized that there was no way out. He had

been surrounded by Jacob from every possible direction.

“How is this possible?” This exact thought crossed his mind again as it was baffling how someone other

than a Virtuoso could pull off something of this scale.

Darnell felt stunned as he could not believe such a young man could be a Virtuoso.

“It’s time for your death!” He shouted in anger while giving his all in the next move. Countless dark

mana surfaced around him again as his internal power was unleashed relentlessly, all of them had

embodied the impression of vicious animals like the lion, tiger, leopard and python. All the evil aura had

launched their attack on Jacob at once to overwhelm him in numbers.

Darnell was simultaneously charging towards Jacob with his army of animals that were derived from his

internal power, his outer cladded in a thick cloud of dark mana that was known as a protection cover

which served as an indestructible steel armor for him. He had once slaughtered many of his enemies

with this ultimate move.

“This move is barely passable!” Jacob remained his ground without any hint of trepidation on his face,

but instead a satisfactory grin had appeared as he clasped both of his hands behind his back without

even raising them.

“You brat! You have foolishly sought your own demise!” Darnell’s eyes glinted in exhilaration.

A brazen lion which was transformed from his internal power had pounced on Jacob at that moment.

Even if he was a Virtuoso-to-be, it was inevitable that he would suffer from a serious injury if not

meeting his end with this assault. No matter how strong Jacob was, he would have to go down on his

knees as all the remaining animals were closing on him at the same time. Their combined forces could

instantly tear him into pieces.

However, Darnell was dumfounded by the happening in front of his eyes.

Jacob’s stance had not changed from the beginning as he was still standing on his feet with both of his

hands at his back. However, his body had transformed into a black hole that looked bottomless. The

roaring lion that had pounded on him disintegrated and vanished the moment it touched his body.

The tiger, leopard and python that had ensued also met the same fate as the lion, crumbling and

disappearing into Jacob’s body as soon as they made contact with him. All the dark mana had been

fully absorbed by Jacob in an instant.

Darnell, whom have rushed towards Jacob with menace, halted his steps abruptly upon seeing his

army vanishing entirely. His pasty complexion had become as white as a sheet as he was scared

shitless.

“Although you barely qualified, I will now give you a real punch since you have satiated me with your

performance! Take this now!”

“Enjoy your trip down there in the underworld!” Jacob smiled and raised his hand to throw a punch that

seemed feeble and soft without any visible strength and power. As a matter of fact, his punch was as

fast as lightning that even the air exploded.

Darnell had made an all-out effort to try to evade his deadly blow, but he could not attempt anything

else as it was too late. Jacob’s fist had arrived at his chest in a flash.

His protection cover that he had taken pride in was destroyed instantaneously by Jacob’s violent and

powerful punch, and the deadly fist was stamped on his chest!
