Chapter 102: Aftermath (2)

Even if he was unwilling to resign himself to death .

Even if he were to go all out in this fight .

The tragic truth was that Ma Renze wasn’t Shi Kaihuang’s opponent even at his peak strength .

Shi Kaihuang was also in the Light Shaking Realm, and he was a veteran who had been at the very peak of the Light Shaking Realm for quite some time .

As an assassin, Ma Renze didn’t excel in head-to-head combat, so if he wasn’t Shi Kaihuang’s opponent even in peak condition, there was no way he was a match now that he was heavily injured .

Thus, there was no suspense in his defeat, nor were there any unexpected twists .

After being struck by Shi Kaihuang’s earth-shattering palm, Ma Renze flew into the air and then fell to the ground like a kite that had its string cut, unable to crawl to his feet .

Yue Longsha walked towards him . “Ma Renze, you also have such a fate . When you killed my father, did you think this day would ever come?”

Lying on the ground, Ma Renze laughed loudly, “I have killed many people already . Who knows which bastard’s daughter you are . You seem quite clever to not be found by me earlier; otherwise, I would have captured you and enjoyed you to my heart’s content before selling you to some brothel . Would you be able to act so arrogantly if that were the case?”

“You!” Yue Longsha grew agitated . She was about to strike when Shi Kaihuang grabbed her and held her back . “Don’t fall into his trap . Although my palm strike was heavy, he isn’t about to die yet . He’s just trying to anger you so that he can draw you in and take you hostage . ”

“Bastard!” Ma Renze was infuriated . His last trick had been seen through, so he leapt into the air, his body transforming into smoke as he charged towards Yue Longsha and Su Chen .

Taking Su Chen or Yue Longsha alive was his only hope for survival .

Shi Kaihuang, however, sighed . “Your cheap tricks don’t count for anything in front of me . Su Chen, take a close look . This is the Sumeru Void . ”

As he spoke, he gently placed his palm in the air .

Su Chen didn’t dare blink his eyes . He activated his Origin Energy-seeing capabilities to their absolute limit .

It was rare for Shi Kaihuang to teach him an already perfected Origin Skill . Naturally, he wanted an opportunity to experience it for himself .

The palm flew forwards, causing the space around it to seemingly pause . The air seemed to solidify, and the wind slowed to a crawl . Breathing became difficult, and even Concealing Smoke seemed to slow down . It was like a dense cloud that could not dissipate or a black smear on a painting .

Under the influence of Sumeru Void, Ma Renze’s Concealing Smoke had suddenly become much slower . Even though Su Chen was only a few feet away, the distance seemed to stretch as far as the horizon .

Shi Kaihuang said, “This is the Nirvana Hand . It borrows power from the void and is omnipresent . ”

He clawed out with one hand, leveraging power from the void . The inky Concealing Smoke began to slowly congeal, revealing Ma Renze’s figure . Shi Kaihuang borrowed his own powerful Origin Energy to force Ma Renze back into his original form . This was a textbook example of suppressing someone with pure power . He was being bullied simply because he lacked the power to resist .

“No! I’m not convinced!!!” Ma Renze yelled furiously, his face contorting madly . The Concealing Smoke constantly twisted and swirled, desperately attempting to escape from Shi Kaihuang’s control .

But no matter what he did, he could not escape from the power of the Nirvana Hand .

Shi Kaihuang’s hand began to slowly close . He purposely did it slowly to allow Su Chen to see more clearly, as well as to make it more painful for Ma Renze .

Under the Nirvana Hand’s control, the Concealing Smoke continued to take on a physical form . Finally, Ma Renze was forcefully squeezed out from the Concealing Fog, and his true body once again appeared .

But this time, the amount of pain he felt was even greater than what he felt from Uncle Eleven’s Heavenly Wolf Finger .

His internal organs were all displaced from the Nirvana Hand’s squeezing . One layer of his skin had already been peeled away, and now another had also been peeled away .

Two layers of his skin had been peeled away, and his internal organs were in a mess . He was the captain of the Immortal Temple’s operations in Long Coiling City and a well-known, wanted assassin, yet he was suffering so bitterly .

At this moment, blood leaked from every inch of his body, and it was as if his cells had chosen to implode . He let out one pained, earth-shattering howl after another .

Even Shi Kaihuang hadn’t expected this outcome . After pausing slightly, he sighed and pulled his hand back, saying, “This time he really doesn’t have any more strength to attack . You can make a move now…… put him out of his misery . ”

A pleased expression appeared in Yue Longsha’s eyes . “This is the price he should pay for his sins . I don’t want to end his suffering too quickly . ”

Su Chen walked over and placed a hand on Yue Longsha’s shoulder . “I can understand your thoughts, but you shouldn’t let hatred cloud your judgment . Torturing people isn’t a good thing . Even if he is an evil bastard to the bone, there is no need to take pleasure from this . ”

Yue Longsha’s heart trembled before she nodded her head . “Thank you for reminding me . I know now . ”

She stepped forward, watching Ma Renze howl in anguish . When she swung her arm, a blade-like streak of moonlight slashed across Ma Renze’s throat .

A head flew into the distance .

The anguished howls stopped .

————————————

After killing Ma Renze, the matter had finally been concluded .

Apart from Shi Kaihuang, Su Chen, and Yue Longsha, Zhu Xianyao had also survived .

Another one of the survivors was Hong Ming .

Hong Ming was very lucky to have lived . Right before Uncle Eleven was about to kill him, Su Chen had stopped Uncle Eleven . Even though Hong Ming had tried to escape while Uncle Eleven and Ma Renze were fighting, Shi Kaihuang had still nabbed him .

“What are you planning on doing with those two?” Shi Kaihuang asked Su Chen .

Even though Su Chen was his disciple, Shi Kaihuang valued and respected Su Chen’s ideas on these kinds of matters .

Su Chen instantly replied, “Whether they’re alive or not, we should bring them all back . I have a use for them . ”

Shi Kaihuang had an “I knew it” expression on his face as he began gathering the corpses together . Because corpses were inanimate objects, they could be stored in an Origin Ring .

But when he was about to store another person, Shi Kaihuang exclaimed in surprise, “This person is still alive . ”

“Who is it?” Su Chen came over and found that it was Zheng Bashan .

This woman had been struck in the head by Uncle Eleven . By all counts she should have been dead by now, but they had discovered that she was not completely dead yet; at the very least, she was still breathing while in an unconscious state .

When Su Chen saw that Zheng Bashan hadn’t died yet, he smiled in delight . “This woman has quite the impressive regenerative Origin Skill . It’s a good thing she hasn’t died yet; now I can use her to perform some more research . ”

“Su Chen, are you planning on doing research on all of them?” Shi Kaihuang asked .

“Mhm, this is a rare opportunity . In addition……” Su Chen hesitated for a moment before he said, “Bloodline Nobility Clans have such a level of prestige not just because a bloodline is necessary to raise one’s strength, but also because they have stronger combat prowess compared to others at the same cultivation level because of their Bloodline Origin Skills . Thus, if we want to break the bloodline restrictions, we not only need cultivation techniques to break into higher cultivation realms, but we also need bloodline-less Origin Skills that are more powerful than Bloodline Origin Skills . In the Qi Drawing Realm, we have already taken care of how to reach the Blood Boiling Realm without a bloodline, so next we should be searching for a way to take care of the issue with bloodline-less Origin Skills . ”

“You won’t be willing to release these publically, right?”

Su Chen laughed, revealing his pearly teeth, “Perhaps one day I will distribute them, but right now I am planning on using them to bolster my trump cards…… After all, I can’t rely on you to take care of everything for me . ”

“Take care of everything for you?” Shi Kaihuang sighed . “This plan didn’t have much to do with me . I just so happened to be here . ”

“Look at you, old man, treating me like an outsider . ”

“Hmph, speaking of outsiders, I don’t think you have told me what your relationship with the Immortal Temple is yet, right?”

“…… I thought you weren’t planning on asking about that . ”

“Hmph, I was waiting for you to come clean yourself . ”

“Looks like I mistakenly thought our friendship was mutual . ”

“……”
