Chapter 294 - Kill

Yang Zenke slashed his sword which was promptly evaded by Jimen Kang in a fluid manner. It must be noted that each of Yang Zenke’s attacks was not weak. Moreover, the speed of his sword was even faster than someone of his level of cultivation. Just that, Jimen Kang was not an average peak stage 6th-rank King realm expert. He was nurtured by the Crimson Sun Sect with great care and he was even tutored by the experts of his sect. If not for Yang Zenke’s superior sword techniques and intense willpower, he would have already fallen under his enemy’s short spear.

"I must admit that you are quite strong for someone at the early stage of the 6th-rank King realm. However, if this is already your best, then that would be truly disappointing." Jimen Kang said as he looked at Yang Zenke. Although he was revealing a mocking smile, he was slowly losing patience.

This battle was supposed to end quickly, but this guy in front of him was too freaky that even someone like him who had enjoyed the full support of the sect was still finding it hard to defeat Yang Zenke.

Meanwhile, Prince Dante and the others were embroiled in a fierce battle against Jimen Kang’s subordinates. Although they were outnumbered, they still managed to kill a few of their enemies, reducing their numbers down to a little more than a dozen.

Prince Dante’s group was already starting to show fatigue, but they did not stop swinging their swords despite the growing numbness of their arms.

"From the looks of things, they won’t have any problems defeating their opponents. The only problem is the two individuals hiding in the shadows. I must get rid of them before they could launch a sneak attack." Long Meili muttered to herself as she disappeared from her spot. Like a ghost, she silently reappeared behind the two elders of the Crimson Sun Sect. The two did not even sense her arrival and so without hesitation, Long Meili slowly slit the throat of the one who was further behind.

Her actions were done in a practiced manner, but the remaining elder still sensed the abnormality behind him so he abruptly turned around to check the situation. To his horror, he found his companion holding his bloodied neck as he gasped for air. Standing beside his struggling companion was the silhouette of a woman who wore a calm and indifferent expression. He could sense the difference in their power so he immediately tried to escape, but before he could even take another step forward, his head tilted sideways before it dropped to the ground, leaving behind a headless corpse that slowly collapsed on the ground.

Long Meili caught the headless corpse and prevented it from making any noise. This way, Jimen Kang and his subordinates would not be alerted about their death.

All this happened in less than five seconds, but the two elders of the Crimson Sun Sect who were at least at the 8th-rank Emperor realm could not even utter a cry before they died.

Long Meili glanced at the corpses before she shifted her gaze to the ongoing battle ahead of her. "The rest is up to you guys." She muttered calmly as her figure vanished. Only the two corpses on the ground were left behind...

Yang Zenke glanced in a certain direction and frowned. He can no longer sense the aura of the two experts hiding in the shadows. ’They suddenly disappeared. Where are they?’ He was confused by this that he almost failed to dodge Jimen Kang’s attack.

Swoosh.

The blade of Jimen Kang’s short spear barely scraped the air just a few inches away from Yang Zenke, making the matter break out in a cold sweat.

’That was close! I should end this quickly so that I can help the others!’ Yang Zenke shouted in his heart as he prepared to use his most powerful sword techniques.

Initially, he did not want to use these sword techniques since they consume a lot of his true essence, but in order to finish the fight, he had no options left.

Yang Zenke changed his stance and drew a yin-yang diagram in midair with his sword as he shouted. "Yin-Yang Sword Extinction!"

A black and white serpent phantom came out of the diagram and darted towards Jimen Kang. They both opened their mouths as if intending to consume Jimen Kang!

Looking at this, Jimen Kang hurriedly used his life-saving skills, but he was still a step too late. The white and black serpents crashed into his body, flinging him away like a broken kite!

Bang!

Jimen Kang was thrown into a nearby mountain, creating a small crater. He spat a mouthful of blood from the strong impact and he could feel his internal organs bursting with pain.

Argh!

Jimen Kang propped his body up, but he fell down immediately. His legs no longer listened to his commands and when he checked the condition of his body, he was horrified.

A huge gaping wound can be seen on his chest and he could even see his ribcage and his pulsating heart. His heart beat furiously at the sight of his injuries.

He was defeated? He Jimen Kang was actually defeated by someone who was three minor realms weaker than him? Thinking about it, Jimen Kang slowly lifted his head and stared at Yang Zenke’s peerless figure. The guy looked indifferently at him as if his defeat was already set in stone before the fight even began.

When Jimen Kang glanced at Yang Zenke’s cold and icy gaze, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart! He finally realized that this guy had not used all his power at the initial part of their battle. After this realization, Jimen Kang revealed a bitter smile.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master Jimen!"

"Brat, stay your hand!"

Jimen Kang’s suddenly subordinate cried out when they saw the pitiful state of their young lord. They could not believe that their young master was actually defeated by an early stage 6th-rank King realm. It was truly beyond their scope of understanding!

After that, they abandoned Prince Dante’s group and swiftly dashed towards their young master. They glared at Yang Zenke with hatred as they held Jimen Kang.

Upon seeing the gaping wound on his chest, their eyes widened in dismay. They knew that Jimen Kang would no longer survive even if he was carried back to their sect.

"Elders, hurry up! Bring the young master back to the sect!" They shouted, but no one answered their call.

This... At this moment, they knew that they were done for. Even if they managed to come back to the Crimson Sun Sect alive, they would still be severely punished by their sect master. Thinking about it, despair clouded their faces.

"Don’t let them get away! Spare one of them, as for the rest, kill!" Yang Zenke ordered to the stunned Dante and the others before he darted towards the Jimen Kang’s subordinates.

"Let’s go!" Prince Dante led the others as they lifted their swords with ferocious glints in their eyes.

After a little more than five minutes, only the dying Jimen Kang and one of his severely wounded subordinates were left alive.

Seeing Jimen Kang’s state, Sylphie’s eyes burned with hatred. Memories of her terrible childhood surfaced in her mind as she stared at his face. She had experienced maltreatment under the hands of Jimen Kang and she had always dreamed of killing this vile beast! Now, she could not wait to kill him with her sword!

"Brother Yang, please allow me to end that dog’s life!" Sylphie muttered in a calm tone, but everyone present could feel the intense hatred in her voice.

Yang Zenke stared at her shaking figure and slowly nodded his head. "Just don’t kill the other person. We still have to bring him back to the Heavenly Sword Tower and report this to the elders of the sect."

Sylphie nodded her head at him. She then walked towards Jimen Kang who was struggling to crawl on the ground. She could see the horror and fear in his eyes and this made her utterly disgusted! "To think that an animal like yourself could actually reveal such an expression. Jimen Kang, this is the heaven’s punishment for all the evil that you have done! Die!"

"No!!" Jimen Kang shouted desperately, but Sylphie mercilessly slashed him with her sword. A blood-red arc was drawn in the air as the screams of Jimen Kang finally died down.

Looking at this, Prince Dante and the others released a heavy sigh. They had no idea what Sylphie had gone through in her past for such a young girl to emit that kind of killing intent. However, they felt no sympathy for scum like Jimen Kang. Even if Sylphie would spare him, they would still kill him without hesitation. Only death awaits people like him!

Sylphie lifted her head and stared at the night sky with a calm look as she muttered to herself. "Crimson Sun Sect, you’re next!"
