Chapter 97: The Nine Great Families in the Capital City All Bowed Their Heads in Submission
After receiving such a message from the Goldsmith family, the nine great families felt it was absurd!
Jacob actually dared to challenge the top Virtuosos in their houses.
Besides, he had no intention to fight one of them. The message was clear: he wanted to challenge all the virtuosos!
Was he crazy?
Was he trying to get himself killed?
But this was also what they wanted.
This was exactly what the nine great families wanted.
Today, they were humiliated in the Goldsmith family. Jacob made them all losers.
In particular, patriarchs of the Ziv family, the Hill family, and the Lynch family had been severely injured by Jacob. These three families had a blood feud with Jacob. They had a tacit understanding.
Each family invited one top virtuoso from their houses to kill Jacob. This would clean the shame today.
Moreover, they wanted to get interests from the Goldsmith family. But Jacob got in the way. He had to die!
The next day, at noon!
At the Heavenly Lake of the capital city!
Last night, after receiving the message, the nine great families had jointly controlled the place.
They sealed off the lake to three kilometers radius.
Apart from the nine great families and the Goldsmith family, no one else could enter this area.
This was a life-and-death battle.
The battle was to kill Jacob.
It involved the nine great families and top Virtuosos in their houses. So it should be kept as a secret!
At noon, Jacob, Vampire and Spencer appeared there on time.
When the people from the nine great families saw Jacob, they immediately let him into the lake region.
Even though they hated Jacob, they didn't dare to show even the slightest hatred on the face.
In fact, apart virtuosos, no one dared to show any disrespect to Jacob, Vampire and Spencer.
Jacob along with Vampire and Spencer went straight to the Heavenly Lake.
There were ten pavilions around the Heavenly Lake. Coincidentally, there were ten great families in the capital city.
At this moment, there were quite a few people in nine pavilions.
All of them were the elites of the nine great families.
The patriarchs and virtuosos and other significant figures were inside the pavilions.
Virtuosos-to-be were the weakest in the pavilion.
Spencer followed Jacob to this place and walked into the empty pavilion.
He had strong confidence in Jacob. And he knew what situation they would face today.
However, when he saw this scene in person, his heart still skipped a beat.
Vampire was no longer Boyce. He was just Jacob's high-level servant--Vampire. But he was different.
He was Spencer. He retained his original thoughts. So it was natural for him to be shocked.
More than twenty Virtuosos gathered. If this news spread out, the whole Martial World would be shocked.
After all, Virtuosos were rare!
Outside the capital city, a Virtuoso would make any aristocratic family or sect proud.
The Derek family and the Shaw family only had one Virtuosos-to-be. But they represented the highest level of the Riverside City.
More than twenty Virtuosos gathered around a small lake. This had never happened!
"Jacob, you do have the guts to come here. Yesterday, you injured my junior. Today, I will let you pay the price!"
The top Virtuoso of the Lynch family shouted when he saw Jacob.
"We haven't gathered so many Virtuosos in China for many years. Besides, including you, there are ten top Virtuosos. You will die proudly today!" The top Virtuoso of the Black family said so.
Everyone knew that Jacob had to die today.
These old men had lived for decades. Some of them were more than a hundred years old. They did not want to beat around the bush.
"Jacob, I want to know, after offending the nine great families, you didn't run away but challenged us. What made you so confident?"
The top Virtuoso of the Hill family stared at Jacob and asked.
They were not idiots.
Jacob was a stunning genius. He couldn't be a fool.
He dared to challenge them and showed up. He must have something to rely on!
"What made me so confident?" Jacob snorted, "Because I am strong while you are being too weak!"
Jacob's words were like rolling thunder as they spread across the lake region!
"Young man, confidence is a good thing. But you are unduly confident! Nothing good will come out of it." The top Virtuoso of the Ziv family stared at Jacob coldly. Herbert was severely injured by Jacob. Jacob and the Ziv family had a blood feud!
Jacob sneered, "You are just little men!"
After saying that, Chen took a step forward.
When he moved, it seemed the earth had shrunk.
He got to the lakeside with two steps.
But Jacob did not stop.
He kept moving!
He stood with his hands behind his back!
Behind him, a wave surged out, pushing Jacob to the center of the Heavenly Lake.
Jacob walked on the waves!
Jacob's actions made all the Virtuosos in the pavilions stunned.
They could also step on the water.
However, it was difficult for them to control the waves and let the waves push them forward like Jacob did.
It looked like that Jacob wanted to scare them.
But did Jacob have enough internal power and Zhen Qi to be wasted like this? They didn't know.
Everyone remained silent.
The more Jacob consumed his internal power and Zhen Qi, the better the situation would be for them.
Seeing their expressions, Jacob knew what they were thinking about.
He couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.
A sparrow couldn't understand the ambition of a swan. They were just ordinary people.
"To save time, all of you, come to me together!"
After arriving at the center of the Heavenly Lake, Jacob stood with his hands behind his back. His voice spread throughout the region.
"Brat, you are being too arrogant!"
Jacob defeated Herbert yesterday. And Herbert was a top Virtuoso. Jamison was about to get to the Divinity Phase. There was a high possibility that Jacob killed him. Although the nine top Virtuosos present were angry at Jacob's arrogance, none of them underestimated Jacob.
Even though some of them were about to get to the Divinity Phase, they were not sure that they could beat Jacob. Moreover, they had reached an agreement today. That was to kill Jacob.
It wasn't a one-on-one duel. Moral standards would be left aside!
As a result, the aura of the nine top Virtuosos suddenly erupted.
Almost at the same time, they disappeared in the pavilion!
Nine long wavy marks appeared on the Heavenly Lake. They all rushed towards the center of the lake, where Jacob was.
A moment later, Jacob was at the center of the lake.
The nine Virtuosos stepped on the water and surrounded Jacob.
The patriarchs heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
Jacob, no matter how strong you were, nine top Virtuosos would make you die today!
Jacob hadn't gotten to the Divinity Phase yet. So, he would die in the face of the nine top Virtuosos!
No one had ever doubted this.
"Jacob, we have to say that you are a legend in the Martial World in China. You are indeed a genius."
"In this world, it is you who have the best chance to enter the Divinity Phase!"
"But you shouldn't go against the nine great families, and you shouldn't hurt our people!"
"Nine top Virtuosos gathered for you. Considered this as the greatest respect. You will die proudly today!"
"You will die, but you will become a legend in the Martial World!"
"So, now, you can die!"
After saying that, the nine top Virtuosos all launched their strongest attacks.
If Jacob wanted to flee, they might not have the ability to stop him for he was capable.
And if Jacob wanted to die with them together. One of them might be taken away by him.
Therefore, they all used killing moves.
No one reserved any strength.
All of a sudden, at the lakeside, everyone saw all kinds of terrifying energy surging in the center of the lake.
Waves exploded into the sky.
It was more beautiful than all kinds of fancy fountains!
And the terrifying power the top Virtuosos unleashed made the water in the Heavenly Lake surge like a tsunami.
At the center of the Heavenly Lake, water instantly sunk, and the bottom of the lake could be seen.
Afterwards, the water pressed to the around immediately poured into the center.
This formed a magnificent spectacle!
Even the surrounding Virtuosos and patriarchs sensed the terrifying aura that made them palpitate.
If they were in the middle of the lake, probably, they could not last for a second.
They would be torn into pieces by the nine top Virtuosos.
Jacob couldn't be alive.
However, the next second.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
The nine top Virtuosos retreated backwards in the air one after another.
They were sent to the pavilions.
They all crashed into the pavilions.
Top Virtuosos' bodies were strong, and their strength great.
In an instant, the pavilions collapsed!
A moment later, Jacob's pavilion was the only one left.
"Do you concede your failure?"
Jacob's voice rang out again.
Jacob had gotten to the Divinity Phase?
All the top Virtuosos ignored their injuries and looked at Jacob in astonishment!
They did not harm Jacob at all.
On the contrary, they were all seriously injured by Jacob's attack!
"The Lynch family concedes!"
"The Black family concedes!"
"The Ziv family concedes!"
On this day, at the Heavenly Lake, Jacob fought against all the top Virtuosos in the nine great families of the capital alone!
This time, the nine great families in the capital city all bowed their heads in submission!¶¶¶¶¶
