Chapter 38 Shrouded In Mystery

 

Thundro had nowhere to hide this time around. All he could do was gather his spirit in his abdominal area. Then, he hollered and charged forward fearlessly with a punch.

 

The clash of their fists released a thunderous sound. Jonathan’s Spiralite broke the intensity of Thundro’s fist instantly. A wave of spiraling electricity penetrated Thundro’s fist, sending his body numb.

Thundro’s body shook abruptly. He did it for a reason. It was as though a rooster had captured a centipede, and the latter was struggling to break free. The rooster then shook abruptly to dissipate the centipede’s energy.

The same applied to the two men. Thundro dissipated Jonathan’s spiraling electric force before squatting down abruptly and restraining the latter with his strong arms.

 

The locking strategy was terrific. Once Thundro restrained Jonathan in his arms, he would gather his utmost power to break the latter’s bone.

 

Jonathan was slightly shocked. He was surprised to learn that Thundro had such combat skills. Thundro was an ace martial artist who moved at a lightning speed. Keeping himself calm, Jonathan put his hands down and turned them outward, awaiting Thundro to come forward. His hands turned into Dragon Claws and grabbed Thundro’s arms.

With that, his hands would become thorny thistles that gave Thundro an excruciating pain.

 

Thundro panicked when he realized Jonathan’s true capability. The man had covered himself with thorns from top to bottom, and his combat skills were brilliant. Each of the changes he made was a headache to Thundro. At that sight, Thundro dared not charge forward to restrain Jonathan anymore. He changed his strategy to prop himself with his hands on the ground and swept his legs abruptly.

That created a similar effect as a sandstorm!

Thundro knew that he wouldn’t be able to kill Jonathan on that day. His only plan was to escape right away.

 

Meanwhile, Jonathan didn’t dodge the sweeping attack by Thundro at all. Instead, he gave the latter a direct kick.

Bang!

The crisp sound of Thundro’s leg bone breaking rang out. The man screamed out loudly instantly.

Jonathan then lifted his finger. A wave of energy shot out from the tip of his finger before landing on Thundro’s veins. Immediately, it froze Thundro’s blood circulation, causing a blockage. If Thundro tried to unblock it with force, his veins would explode.

That was Jonathan’s skill – Heavenly Acupressure.

Acupressure was nothing like the descriptions in books where people became motionless once their pressure points got pointed. The acupressure skill that he used was an advanced version of that. It could freeze one’s blood circulation, but one was still able to walk and talk as usual. The only restraint was one couldn’t use any force. That was because using force required the transport of oxygen. When the blood vessels were blocked, using force would cause them to break apart.

Just then, the lights in the room lit up again.

The police rushed over in a hurry and were stunned upon seeing the scene.

Jonathan was sitting on one corner lazily, looking somewhat carefree.

 

Amber initially wanted to stop the cremation of Bethany’s body. However, when she was on her way, the police officer from earlier called and informed her that the body had been cremated. Amber was furious upon hearing that. She shouted at the police officer right away. Little did she know that the officer had been bribed. Otherwise, Bethany’s body wouldn’t be cremated so soon.

At the same time, Amber had also received a call from the police station that something strange was happening in the room where Jonathan was detained.
