C27 Fulfilling One's Wish

"Tiang! Swoosh! Tiang!"

"Piang! Woong! Thump!"

As the battle grew even more intense, the sound of metal blades clashing against one another reverberated through to air like ripples.

Under the neverending barrage of slashes sent by Su Lang, Teng Bao and his men found themselves being utterly overwhelmed. Before their thoughts matched up to reality, their weapons had already been blown away, leaving their guards exposed.

At the same time, the terrifying force emitted with each swing of Su Lang's blade caused their bodies to go slightly numb. They stared at the young man in utter disbelief as they were unable to make sense of the current situation.

"This should not be possible!"

Teng Bao gawked with his eyes wide open, dumbstruck by the sight of a young man obliterating each of his men one after another. As someone who has been cultivating in this world for such a long time, he found it difficult to believe that a young man — appearing to be a Quasi Martial Cultivator at best — could single-handedly wipe the floor clean against a dozen other capable cultivators in their own respects.

Similarly, the other Quasi Martial Cultivator of the Broken Axe Hunting Group too found the scene incomparably shocking.

However, the truth was right in front of them. No matter how they refused to believe it, they could only accept the cruel reality before them.

"Ghost Moon, devour!"

Without giving his opponents any room to breathe, Su Lang struck yet again. At that moment, three other members of the Broken Axe Hunting Group had their throats ripped out from their necks as blood gushed out like a fountain.

"He's way too out of our leagues! Retreat!"

Upon witnessing the gruesome scene, Teng Bao — scared out of his wits — ordered for an immediate retreat.

"Leaving already? They crimson party has just started! Ghost Moon, flash!"

Su Lang sneered coldly before taking his step forward. Crossing several meters in a single flash, he slashed his blade down towards Teng Bao.

"What speed...!"

Suddenly feeling a cold shiver down his spine, Teng Bao subconsciously turned his head around. At that instant, time around the space seemed to have come slowed down as he stared blankly at the gradually enlarged blade flying towards him at a terrifying speed.

Although he instinctively raising his two-handed sword to block the attack coming towards him, the blade suddenly left behind an afterimage and appeared next to his waist as it slashed through his flesh.

"Agh!"

The shining white blade lacerated the flesh around his waist, bringing with it an expanse of scarlet.

Teng Bao's eyes opened wide as blood spurted out from his fatal wound. The endless amounts of pain drained every drop of strength left within him, causing him to lose his balance as he staggered in his steps.

"Boss Teng!"

"Boss has been defeated! What should we do now?!"

"Let's just get the hell out of here! Run while we still can!"

"...."

The remaining three members of the Broken Axe Hunting Group lost their minds when they saw Teng Bao suffering a fatal injury.

Under the lead of the remaining Quasi Martial Cultivator, they began to flee in all directions.

"Don't go! Come back!"

Teng Bao's eyes widened in shock before collapsed onto the ground.

Never in the million years would he have thought that these men, who usually addressed each other as brothers, would be so selfish and disloyal in the face of death.

"Do you want them to come back? I'll gladly give you a hand!"

While mocking him, Su Lang flashed towards the Quasi Martial Cultivator.

With his movement level at the realm slightly above the average Quasi Martial Cultivator, Su Lang managed to catch up to his opponent in just three breaths' time.

"Go to hell!"

The Quasi Martial Cultivator felt a sharp sensation on the verge of piercing through his back. With his sixth sense tingling, he immediately turned around and attempted to block the incoming attack with his sword.

*Tiang! Swoosh!*

Upon the clash of the two swords, the Quasi Martial Cultivator's sword, along with his head, flew high up into the sky.

The other two escaping men were so terrified upon witnessing the cruel death of the Quasi Martial Cultivator that they ended up peeing their pants.

One of them was so horrified that his feel onto his knees and proceeded kowtowing to Su Lang non-stop.

"Why are you still running?"

Su Lang shifted his indifferent gaze towards the last burly man who was still running away as he spoke with a cold voice that felt like it came from a bottomless abyss.

Although the escaping burly man trembled all over, he could not help but stop in his tracks immediately.

Instantly after, he turned around stiffly and knelt down in fear.

"I see that you're quite obedient. Not bad for a thug...."

Su Lang chuckled as he walked towards the pale-faced Teng Bao.

Noticing Su Lang's approaching footsteps, Teng Bao's body was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

"Tell me. Why did you try to kill me?"

Su Lang swung down with his Tang Blade and paused right before touching Teng Bao's forehead. A few strands of his hair were cut off by the sharp blade and drifted along in the direction of the blowing wind.

"Are.... A-Are you rea-really Su La-ng?"

Teng Bao's voice was trembling so much that it was almost inaudible.

Su Lang nodded and said, "That's right. Tell me the reason why you wanted to kill me. If you do so, I will be willing to give you a quick death."

"I still can't believe... you are Su Lang..."

Teng Bao shook his head in disbelief. Suddenly, he laughed like a complete lunatic.

"Hahaha!"

"So what if you are Su Lang?"

"Since I'm going to die anyway, why should I bother telling you?"

"Hahaha! After news of my death spread around, someone else will definitely find you and take revenge for me. You should never have looked down on the Broken Axe Hunting Group! We aren't as simple of a group as you may think!"

"You bastard, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill me! Come on!"

Seeming to have overcome the fear of death, Teng Bao's eyes were bloodshot as he stared menacingly at Su Lang. He gnashed his teeth and spouted a series of curses.

"Hehe! It seems that I have no choice but to utilize my past cruel methods!"

Su Lang looked down at Teng Bao and exclaimed, "Great! Then, I will fulfill your wish!"

After saying that, Su Lang revealed a devilish grin and lightly sliced Teng Bao on his face, leaving behind a crimson line that looked like the gills of a fish.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Although the wound was minor, Teng Bao had a very bad feeling about this.

However, Su Lang did not answer his question. Instead, he focused all his attention on his blade.

After all, this cruel method of his required extreme precision and utmost concentration to pull off.

If he missed his mark by even a few millimeters, the target would die instantly!
