Stranger Danger-Chapter 1199: Slaughtering the Four Renegades Like Dogs

There was a good reason the Four Renegades dared to commit such atrocities.

Not only were they all Half-Step Truemen, they were quadruplets born from the same womb. Capable of perceiving each other’s intentions, their combined strength could rival that of a Trueman or a Grandmaster. They had even escaped from the hands of a Great Trueman before. They were quite powerful to say the least.

The Four Renegades were always together. If Fast Sword, Mad Saber and Ghost Axe were here, then God Bow must be close by as well. He must be hiding somewhere outside.

This was why the crowd fell silent after witnessing Fast Sword, Mad Saber and Ghost Axe. No one had the desire to interact with four crazy people.

Fast Sword, Mad Saber and Ghost Axe did not say a word after entering the restaurant. They simply turned and stared at a certain corner of the wall with icy eyes.

“What are you doing, brother? Sit down! Do you want to die?”

It was at this moment a young man sitting at the corner slowly rose to his feet.

The people sharing a table with him immediately blanched and cried out in warning. They weren’t doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, nor had they done it because he had treated them to a cup of valuable Westwind Hunt before. It was purely because they were afraid that the young man’s audacious behavior would trigger the Four Renegades, and that they would be dragged into the ensuing bloodbath.

“Relax. They’re here for me.”

The instant the young man stood up, Fast Sword immediately charged forward.

No one saw when Fast Sword moved, much less when his sword left his sheath.

One moment he was standing at the entrance, and the next he was standing in front of the young man. His sword was inches away from his throat as well.

All this time, the young man did not seem to notice anything.

Just when everyone thought that the young man was dead, the sword struck his throat with a soft but clearly metallic clang. That was it. The blade could not dig deeper no matter how hard Fast Sword pushed.

On the other hand, the young man’s throat was perfectly fine. Not even his skin was damaged in the slightest.

The young man suddenly stepped forward, and Fast Sword’s sword abruptly bent into a crescent. Then, as if it could not bear the strain, it broke into many pieces.

Fast Sword himself seemed to have taken a huge amount of damage. His sword arm abruptly exploded in a shower of blood and gore, and his elbow was launched back into his own abdomen. He bled from all orifices as his abdomen collapsed inward like tofu.

Despite such severe injuries, Fast Sword neither screamed nor panicked. It was also as if his mind was elsewhere. He opened his mouth and breathed out a wisp of sword qi.

As soon as the sword qi appeared, all weapons inside the restaurant let out a wail and lost their sentience. The people themselves trembled all over like they had accidentally stumbled into an ice pond, dazed and confused.

This was because the sword qi was too sharp and cold. It wiped out all weapons’ sentience as soon as it appeared.

The sword qi was Fast Sword’s trump card and the foundation of his Way of the Sword. His torso acted as the sheath, and his mind the base, he had nurtured the sword qi for thirty-nine years. Naturally, it was quite deadly.

“Thirty nine years of unending care, all to nurture a sword that slays divine dragons.”

Therefore, the sword qi was named, “Divine Dragon Slayer”.

Despite how potent the sword qi was, the young man did not take any evasive action whatsoever. In fact, he copied his foe’s action and breathed out a puff of dark yellow qi as well.

The sword qi that could slay dragons was scattered by the puff of dark yellow qi just like that. In fact, Fast Sword’s head, flesh, blood, and bones also dissolved into nothing like sand.

He was dead in both body and soul just like that.

The battle sounded like it took a lot of time on paper, but it really all happened in an instant. That was why Mad Saber and Ghost Axe’s attacks arrived only after Fast Sword was dead.

Mad Saber’s large anti-cavalry saber was about two meters long and as wide as a door[1]. When he swung it, it radiated bloody light and kicked up a potent gale. Mad Saber himself was frothing at the mouth and glaring at the young man with bloodshot eyes like a mad dog.

The restaurant really wasn’t all that big, so some people failed to get out of the way in time. They were dragged into the cyclone of bloody light and gale and ground into paste. This actually boosted Mad Saber’s attack as the bloody light shone brighter, and the speed of his saber clearly went up a notch.

Ghost Axe’s attack was another thing to behold. He raised his axes high above his shoulders before performing a downward swing.

The axes easily weighed over a couple thousand kilograms, but strangely, they elicited no sound whatsoever. In fact, the swing was weak and slow like that of a falling leaf.

As the axes slowly descended from the air, translucent arms appeared around the axes and pressed against its blade. Somehow, they dyed the pure white axe blade pitch black.

Not only that, human faces began pushing out of the axe blades. There were male, female, young and old, and they were all cramped together. It was like an entire hell being forced to exist inside an axe blade.

One axe was equal to one hell. Two axes were equal to two hells.

The young man’s response toward the incoming attack was to take a horizontal step. At the same time, he made a grabbing motion with his left hand and slashed diagonally upward with his right.

Suddenly, the bloody light and terrible gale kicked up by Mad Saber shrank rapidly as if an invisible hand was squeezing them. The man himself was frozen at the center of his own powers, unable to move a muscle.

At the same time, the young man’s right hand struck the descending axes and engulfed them in crimson flames. They began breaking and melting bit by bit as crimson red replaced pitch black darkness.

Ghost Axe abandoned his axes and retreated. Then, he cut open his own abdomen with his bare hands, causing black water to wash out into the open.

The black water was not the real Black Water. It was just an amalgamation of yin qi and deathly qi. They looked like water simply because they were too concentrated.

Yin soldiers marched, and banners waved amidst the yin qi and deathly qi.

“Yellow Spring beckons the old force, a banner of one hundred thousand slays King Yan.”

At the same time, Mad Saber let out an animalistic roar and bled from every pore. The blood soon formed a bloody saber.

Mad Saber’s blood continuously poured into the blood saber as he gripped it with both hands. He began deflating and shrinking at a visible rate.

He could not seem to feel it, however. In fact, his eyes only grew crazier with every passing second. He poured every ounce of his blood into the bloody saber without reservation.

The saber intent grew scarier and scarier as time passed. Just feeling the saber intent was enough to give everyone in the restaurant maddened, bloodshot eyes.

When Mad Saber bled his last drop of blood and life force, the blood saber finally swung down on the young man.

The fall of the saber was akin to the outburst of a river of blood.

Buzz...

It was at this moment pitch black darkness suddenly engulfed the whole restaurant. It was as if daytime had changed to nighttime in an instant.

The darkness robbed everyone of their senses instantly. They couldn’t hear, couldn’t see, couldn’t smell, couldn’t taste, couldn’t feel.

Suddenly, a row of seven stars lit up amidst the night. Then, they descended toward the earth like comets.

It wasn’t until the seven stars came close that the crowd realized that they weren’t actually stars. They were seven arrows.

They were brighter and more dazzling than your ordinary stars, however.

The seven arrows looked like seven stars, so the technique was named, “Seven Stars Illuminates the Nine Heavens”.

Clearly, this was the work of God Bow. The hidden archer had finally unleashed his ultimate technique.

God Bow’s timing was perfect. He had attacked while the young man was distracted by the flooding river of blood and the yin soldiers’ charge.

This was a kill shot; one that was utterly impossible to dodge.

It didn’t look like the young man was planning to dodge, however.

The corners of his lips curling into a smirk, he hmphed.

It was like a divine being was striking a bell. The mere hmph somehow shattered the universe and reversed yin and yang.

The descending blood saber let out an unearthly wail and scattered into nothing.

The charging yin soldiers exploded into pieces and collapsed to the ground.

The lightless dark was ripped apart like a veil drawn.

And the seven arrows did a loop-de-loop around the young man’s sleeves before sailing back whence they came.
