As long as this operation succeeds, these people will beco the heroes of the Fujino Martial Arts Hall. By then, they can have whatever they desire and won’t have to dance on the knife’s edge anymore.
In the hopeful gaze of the experts from the Fujino Martial Arts Hall, the dagger in Fujino’s hand was firmly aid at Xiao Tian’s heart.
The old butler was about to risk his life, but then he heard the sound of a clink beside his ear. Quickly focusing his gaze, he saw the broken half of a dagger lying on the ground...
"..."
The room was silent for a mont!
Xiao Tian, as if nothing had happened, gently placed the unconscious Lin Bingxuan, who had fainted from transferring too much power, onto the bed. His careful manner seed as if he was afraid of waking the beauty in his arms.
"Want to try again?"
It wasn’t until Xiao Tian’s icy voice rang out that Fujino dropped the broken half of the dagger from his hand, his disbelief giving way to fear.
Could it be that Xiao Tian had been pretending all along?!
Could he really have faked it so outrageously that it was beyond understanding?!
Leaving aside whether the act was convincing or not, Fujino would never believe that Xiao Tian pretended to be seriously injured just to lure him in like a small fish!
"Get out of here!"
Fujino, being decisive, knew that all the confusion in the world wouldn’t help at this mont. The opponent’s strength exceeded expectations and wasn’t sothing he could deal with, so escaping was the wisest choice now.
"Trying to leave?!" Xiao Tian’s face bore an uncharacteristically sinister smile, chilling enough to make one uneasy. With such an expression, nothing he might do would be surprising.
"Do you think you can leave?!"
With Xiao Tian’s cold, emotionless words, Fujino had already been grasped by the neck and lifted with a single hand. With a slight exertion, the crisp sound of bones breaking echoed.
Fujino’s head tilted, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, life completely snuffed out.
People brought by Fujino were so shocked by the scene they couldn’t react in ti to flee, echoing roars in their minds struggling to accept what had happened before their eyes.
The expert Fujino, seen as the final hope of the Fujino Martial Arts Hall, just died so quietly?!
The crowd was dumbfounded, unsure whether to lant the inevitable downfall of the Fujino Martial Arts Hall, or to disbelieve that a master like Fujino could et such an end!
"Now, it’s your turn!"
As Xiao Tian’s voice rang out again, the people of the Fujino Martial Arts Hall finally reacted, splitting up to run in different directions.
Xiao Tian wasn’t in a hurry to chase them down; after killing two Fujino Martial Arts Hall experts with one punch each, he sent a True Qi Bomb after every person trying to escape.
Cries of agony quickly followed, affirming that those people truly couldn’t escape, as Xiao Tian had said!
After dealing with the people from the Fujino Martial Arts Hall, Xiao Tian approached Mingzhi Ginseng in front of the old butler, kicking him so hard that he slid eight or nine ters and stopped only after hitting a dicinal cabinet.
Xiao Tian lifted him up, and after so violent coughing and spitting a mouthful of black blood, Mingzhi Ginseng woefully said, "Wait, wait!"
"I can offer the secrets of the Mizuno Clan..."
Xiao Tian remained unmoved, "No need!"
With that, he threw him out from the thirteenth floor, paying no heed to any terms he might offer.
Mingzhi Ginseng never expected Xiao Tian to be so decisive. As he watched the rapidly approaching ground, he found the mont sowhat laughable.
Laughing at himself for spending half his life chasing profit and fa by every ans, seizing every opportunity to climb higher. Though he beca the youngest elder of the Mizuno Clan, that mont did not bring him happiness!
In his mind, an elder was just a starting point; his ambition was to make the Mizuno Clan the third ruling party in Japan.
He even thought of building a foundation of prestige he had established through this wave to gradually replace the imperial position.
As death lood before him, did he feel any regret?
Maybe he did!
But Mingzhi Ginseng also knew that even if given another chance, he still wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by. This was a personality trait nearly ingrained in him over the years, the basis for his growth until now.
He would take action as long as there was a slight possibility. But this ti, he truly lost, not to Xiao Tian, but to himself!
This was the final realization of this ambitious man. To the end, he refused to acknowledge the opponent’s strength, convinced in his heart that he did not lose to anyone!
His thoughts ca to an end as he plumted from high above to the hard ground below. Mingzhi Ginseng’s body twitched a couple of tis before his life concluded.
Yet, even in death, his eyes remained open...
——
Seeing Xiao Tian step steadily out of the hospital room, forces aligned in the hallway couldn’t help but be stunned, their hands involuntarily pausing.
Monts ago, the clash of swords and tals echoed incessantly, but now it abruptly stopped, like a movie suddenly paused.
Families and external forces were shocked beyond words. Wasn’t Xiao Tian’s strength said to have completely deteriorated?
How could he now walk out of the room so alive and spirited?
The crowd clearly knew that the room had contained experts like Mingzhi Ginseng and Lauren, but now Xiao Tian erged, so the outco was obvious without needing explanation!
Upon witnessing this scene, reinforcents, who had suffered over half their number and were on the brink of breaking the encirclent, had their morale sharply boosted, suddenly seeming as if they could reverse the situation.
But ultimately, the gap in strength wasn’t sothing that could be reversed by morale alone, and soon they fell back into disadvantage.
In the crowd, guarded closely by several experts, Lu Neng’s eyes flickered as he suddenly stood up and shouted, "He has just endured an attack from two similarly ranked experts, his strength must have greatly diminished. If we all charge together, he won’t be able to withstand it!"
Lu Neng was already at the end of his tether. Knowing that retreating even a step would an death, he was like a pawn moving across a river, only able to advance, not retreat.
Hearing this rallying cry, everyone mustered all their strength and charged, pushing back the wavering reinforcents!
"Everyone, step back!"
Xiao Tian’s voice wasn’t loud, but in everyone’s ears, it was like a clap of thunder on a sunny day, causing all the battling parties to pause in disbelief.
Lu Neng was delighted; this was precisely the outco he wished for. Since the boy was courting death, it wasn’t his fault!
Kai, watch closely; soon your father will avenge you!
The reinforcents, despite being astonished by Xiao Tian’s words, had to obey orders as soldiers once the command was given.
One of those who had once trained with Xiao Tian, as he passed by, couldn’t help but say, "Instructor, you..."
Xiao Tian simply smiled and shook his head, gesturing that there was no need to persuade him, today all these people must die!
Seeing Xiao Tian’s confident smile and the calmness in his eyes, the questioner felt a chill in his heart; once seen, eyes like those are never forgotten!
They were eyes signaling the imminent eruption of a volcano, the coming of a storm...
