Joe replied coldly, “That is your lifeline. The reason why the evil spirit could be appeased so easily is because Jack is using your life as a trade-off! Within three days, this red line will extend all the way to your elbow! After that, you will drop dead immediately. Jack is using all the virtues and good deeds that you have accumulated in your lifetime, and he is sacrificing your life in exchange for the lives of the rest of the Quinton family members!”
Graham was shocked when he heard Joe’s words. He froze in place because he was utterly shocked.
Adam was also panicking at this time as he looked at the people around them.
All of the masters who were present nodded slightly as they witnessed this scene. Graham will not live for more than three days.
Adam knelt on the ground before he begged Jack, “Mr. Yaleman! Please, please save my Father’s life!”
At this time, Jack stared at Adam with an arrogant expression on his face as he sneered and said, “I have already used my magic to appease the evil spirit. How do you expect me to take it back? I am using Graham’s life in exchange for the safety of the rest of the Quinton family members! You should be thanking me right now.”
Aurora turned pale immediately as she bit her lower lip. After thinking for a short while, she knelt down before Joe and said, “Please, Mr. Smith. Please help my father…”
Joe glanced at her before he replied indifferently, “Since the Quinton family chose to trust in Mr. Yaleman instead of me, then this has nothing to do with me anymore. Why should I help you now?”
Aurora’s eyes were red as she could not stop crying at this time. She gritted her teeth and said, “Mr. Smith, if you save my father, I promise to fulfill any requests you have…”
Joe chuckled before he replied, “I have nothing that I want from you…”
At this time, Graham also ran over to Joe and knelt down before him as he cried, “Mr. Smith, I’m sorry I was blinded. Adam was the one brainwashing me…”
After that, Graham dragged Adam over to him before giving him a tight slap across the face.
Adam quickly dodged and moved aside before he could give him another slap.
Out of desperation, Aurora grabbed hold of Joe’s legs as she pleaded, “Mr. Smith, please save my dad. Please help him…”
At this time, Joe sighed before he replied, “Okay, you can get up now. I was just scaring you just now. Fortunately, your father is wearing the talisman I had given him earlier. Nothing is going to happen to him now.”
Graham was doubtful and he held the stun talisman that he was wearing over his neck in his hand before he said, “Is this talisman working?”
Joe nodded before he said, “Yes, take a look at your palm. The red line must be fading quickly because of the talisman. Mr. Yaleman needs to try harder to defeat the power of my talisman.”
Graham looked at his arm and he saw that the red line had dimmed a little and it was gradually fading away. He was overjoyed at this moment and he quickly said, “Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Smith. If it wasn’t for you today, I would have…”
Joe waved his hand and said, “You are lucky that you came here with the stun talisman on you today. Otherwise, there is nothing I would be able to do for you either.”
After he was done speaking, Joe turned around and looked at Jack before he said, “The result is obvious now. Aren’t you going to admit defeat?”
After realizing the situation, Adam finally came over to Joe and knelt down before him before he apologized to him without saying anything else.
Jack’s face turned blue and he glared at Joe before he said, “How can you say that you’ve won just because of that talisman? Do you know that I really wanted to spare your life but it seems as though you are very stubborn and persistent? I am giving you one last chance to live. I will let you off today if you hand the clam over to me and kneel down and apologize to me right now!”
Jack did not want to play his last card but since Joe had already defeated him, he had no other choice but to do so. Otherwise, the banquet that he planned today would be all for nothing.
However, once he were to play his last card, everyone here could die if he could not control his powers completely!
At this time, Joe stared at him before he said, “And what if I refuse to do so?”
“You’ve forced me to do this!” Jack said as he took out a black porcelain jar from the box next to him as soon as he was done speaking.
A few mosquitoes flew out of the altar before they instantly pounced on the meat on the table before they started chewing on the meat.
Jasmine was very skeptical as she said, “This…is Mr. Yaleman raising mosquitoes?”
Everyone watched as the mosquitoes continued pouncing on the meat. They found this scene very strange and inexplicable. All the masters had no idea what was going on and they could only whisper among themselves.
However, within a few seconds, the meat that had been eaten by the black mosquitoes suddenly changed color and countless smaller black mosquitoes started emerging from the meat!
In less than five minutes, all the fresh dishes on the table had already turned rotten and countless black mosquitoes started emerging from the rotten food.
There was a rooster that the White family had raised ever since it was a chick in the White family courtyard.
A few black mosquitoes flew to the rooster at a very fast speed. After less than ten seconds, the rooster started screaming as it flapped its wings frantically. After that, it fell to the ground and started convulsing until it dropped dead.
Within a few seconds, many large black mosquitoes started emerging from the feathers of the dead rooster.
At this time, the black mosquitoes were densely packed in the sky as they rushed towards the crowd of people like a whirlwind.
It was very chaotic in the courtyard as the crowd of people tried desperately to avoid the black mosquitoes, as not only were the black mosquitoes extremely poisonous but they could also enter a person’s flesh through a wound on the skin.
Even though the mosquitoes were very small as they were only the size of a grain of sand, their bites were very painful.
The person bitten by the black mosquitoes would be in extreme pain and their skin would start swelling immediately.
At this time, all the masters in the courtyard started using all of their magic skills to get rid of the mosquitoes. Some of them were even throwing out amulets and talismans as they chanted some mantras.
Some people hid under the table while several others jumped into the pool to avoid the mosquitoes.
“What is this?” Jasmine asked as she was utterly shocked at this time.
“This is corpse magic!” Finn yelled as he was very shocked and angry at that moment. “These mosquitoes have been raised from the corpse of a baby! This kind of black magic originated from Julesburg! I really would not have expected Mr. Yaleman to raise this kind of insidious thing!”
Jack laughed before he said, “These mosquitoes are raised from the corpse of a dead fetus! Since you refuse to show me any respect, then I will teach all of you a lesson today!”
The number of black mosquitoes continued increasing and at this time, the body of one of the old men who was bitten by the mosquitoes started swelling and puffing up before he dropped to the ground.
The black mosquitoes filled the sky and Jasmine was also flustered at this moment.
However, when Jasmine turned around, she realized that there were no mosquitoes around Joe at all!
As soon as the black mosquitoes approached Joe, they would instantly turn into black coal, as though they had just encountered something extremely terrifying!
At this time, Joe sneered as he walked towards Jack without encountering any obstacles. He was also holding a white clam shell in his hand.
This was the Thundering Order that he had practiced earlier!
The shell talisman exuded a faint light with a hint of thunder surrounding it.
Jack was stunned when he saw Joe and he exclaimed in disbelief. “Why are you…no, what is happening? How is this possible?”
Joe seemed to be wrapped in a halo at this time and it seemed as though he was sent by god.
“Impossible! This is completely impossible! It is impossible for anyone to counter my corpse magic!” Jack yelled as he stared at Joe.
Joe sneered as he stared at Jack. “Do you really think you are undefeatable? I will show you what true power is today!”
Immediately afterwards, Joe yelled, “Thunder!”
As soon as his voice fell, there was a loud sound.
Boom!
Within a few seconds, there was a loud thunderbolt from the sky and black clouds suddenly started piling up in the sky that was clear earlier.
In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was covered in dark clouds!
“This!” Finn looked up at the sky and he was too shocked to even speak.
Everyone, including Jasmine, had the same expression on their faces.
