"Damn! Damn! Just as I thought!"

Wu switched several cars along the way to avoid detection, trying to make it to Mingjing Pier.

He cursed the current situation incessantly, wishing he could just fly over!

His subordinates didn't find anything amiss; it's likely the authorities are behind this!

"Why are they targeting us? Haven't there been fewer illegal dealings in the [Black Market]? Why not control those brats from the [Free Will] group? I pay more taxes in a year than those two organizations combined!" Wu was now quite exasperated.

He had even arranged a channel to flee the country on his way here.

Now rushing to Mingjing Pier to complete the last deal, he plans to use the buyer's ship to leave the Capital City, making a few transfers to the Sun Never Sets where there are plenty to welcome him!

"Hey! Old Xing, where are you?"

Upon reaching Mingjing Pier, Wu called out angrily over the phone.

Unexpectedly, Old Xing's voice came trembling from the other end as if someone else was standing next to him, saying vaguely, "State your location."

"Alright... Wu... I'm right behind you..."

Upon hearing this, Wu felt a sense of unease.

He couldn't even be bothered to turn his head, directly pulling out from his waist a sword that seemed dark red at a glance but was closer to ink-black upon closer inspection.

With the drawing of this sword, Wu's aura shifted from a businessman's demeanor to one of piercing sharpness, giving Wu Liang an overwhelming sense of facing a City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost.

As expected! Sister Hong's information wasn't wrong!

This guy's personal strength is the strongest among all the civilian organizations in the Capital City!

"Sun-breaking Slash!"

After drawing his sword, Wu turned around and executed a heavy lateral slash behind him.

The next second, as his magnificent sword slashed through the air, it produced a jet-black beam of light.

The sword Qi covered a range of a full five meters, flying out at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Everything in its path was cut in half!

Clang—

A crisp metallic collision sounded after the sword Qi sliced through a container.

Both Wu and Old Xing were stunned.

As the container fell, they suddenly saw a mysterious person wearing a Sun Wukong mask effortlessly blocking the sword Qi with a plain grey-white sword.

Not only that, but in the next second, strands of eerie mist appeared out of thin air around the mysterious figure.

In the astonished eyes of both men, the mist coalesced into more than twenty identical grey-white sword blades.

"Come again, Wu Yeli, let me see if the power you've built by sacrificing lives and dirty deals is just that?" Wu Liang said coldly.

His words seemed to hit a sore spot, as the dark red sword in Wu Yeli's hand became even deeper in color.

Clenching his teeth, he said, "Are you from the authorities? Will you let me leave? I can give you money, status, power!"

Though he seemed to be pleading for mercy, his hands quickly slashed out numerous small sword Qi, forming an eerie encirclement trapping Wu Liang and Old Xing!

It seemed the next second would mean their end!

"Dude, if you're planning to flee, why bother with money and status? Is this what you said when deceiving those newly Awakened youngsters?"

Clang clang clang—

The numerous mist swords floating in the air pierced through the encirclement like an exquisite sword dance, dazzling to behold.

In just a few seconds, they completely shattered Wu Yeli's sword Qi!

"Everyone thinks that as the leader of the [Awakening Association], you rely on wealth to enhance your strength, but little do they know you have achieved this strength by continually killing Awakened individuals?" Wu Liang continued to approach.

As soon as the words were out, fog chains appeared instantly at Wu Yeli's feet.

But possessing City-Destroying Level strength, he reacted swiftly to escape the fog chains' restraints.

And then took his sword, scraping it across his arm, letting blood flow onto the sword blade.

The extravagant sword greedily devoured the blood, appearing like a bloodthirsty monster eager to detach itself from its master to feast at Wu Yeli's wound.

However, it returned to control under Wu Yeli's cold snort, transforming completely into a pitch-black Demon Sword.

"Victory or defeat; does the means matter? It's their honor to become my stepping stones to the top!"

With these words, he gently stabbed the ground with his sword.

Whoosh—

The breeze blew by, and Old Xing showed an incredulous expression as he gazed at his own posterior.

What happened? How can I see behind myself? Wait, my head...

Wu Liang glanced aside to see Old Xing now decapitated, his head blown off by a puff of wind.

His head was as fragile as a piece of paper.

"Blood Sword Domain! Kid, aren't you too arrogant to come alone to capture me?" Wu Yeli said coldly.

He was quite aware of the powerful and eerie nature of his domain.

Now, everything non-living at the dock could become his Blood Sword, even the breeze wasn't spared!

Did he honestly think years of hard training were in vain? He was destined to be the world's strongest Awakened!

Clang clang clang clang—

Yet Wu Yeli's smile didn't have a chance to spread when a series of metal collisions resounded from Wu Liang.

The wind-formed sword Qi tore apart Wu Liang's black trench coat, revealing the wheat-colored skin and muscles honed like a work of art.

Upon close listening, the sound was coming from his body!

The sword Qi couldn't even scratch the masked bastard's skin or inflict any damage!

[Breaking Blade] Kitchen Knife Ghost Fusion!

"Your Awakened Ability is that sword, allowing enhancement through killing targets, which led you to secretly target ordinary people three years ago."

"Until a year ago, when you realized ordinary people could no longer help you progress, so you used the guise of the [Awakening Association]'s recruitment to attract newly Awakened civilians."

"Some naive and young Awakened individuals became your targets."

"The most heinous thing is, besides using them to hone your sword, you even imprisoned the extra Awakened and trained them into machines following orders, selling them as Awakened bodyguards to serve those wealthy businessmen abroad."

"It's true that your privilege totally clouds your judgement, your high position has indeed gone to your head?"

"Callous killer, you're really bringing disgrace to the Wu Family; how dare you share the surname Wu?"

With that, Wu Liang steadily approached, braving numerous terrifying sword Qi.

In Wu Yeli's terrified eyes, he witnessed a scene unforgettable for a lifetime.

It was the sight of City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghosts emerging from the shadows, grinning and reaching their claws toward him...
