"Earth-level Steward? You..."
Looking at the golden mask in Ye Cangtian's hand, Sasaki and Guiwu were instantly stunned.
They naturally understood what that golden mask represented!
Only with Earth-level strength was one worthy of possessing a golden mask.
"You... you are the Dark Association's newly promoted Earth-level Steward, Dawn?"
Sasaki's voice was somber. He had just remembered the news that had spread not long ago.
The Dark Association had gained a new Earth-level Steward, but they knew nothing else about this individual.
Now, he had never seen the golden mask in the other party's hand. It was obvious that it could only be Dawn himself.
He never imagined that Dawn was Xuan Qi!
After all, who would willingly lower their status and choose to be a Profound-level Steward instead of an Earth-level Steward?
"You got it right."
"But unfortunately, anyone who knows this identity of mine will die!"
Ye Cangtian smiled mockingly. As soon as his words fell, his figure flashed.
He moved like a phantom, weaving through the ninjas around him, accompanied by faint sounds.
The next moment, sprays of blood spurted from everyone's necks.
Seeing his subordinates all wiped out, Sasaki's face was extremely grim, but he didn't charge forward to fight. Instead, he turned and ran!
The secret technique he used was about to expire, and he was about to enter a period of weakness.
If he were to face a Profound-level expert, he would not be afraid, but now that Xuan Qi had become Dawn, an Earth-level expert, he was sure to lose in a duel with him!
Therefore, the best course of action now was to avoid the fight and make further plans after recovering!
"Sasaki, do you think you can escape?"
Hiss...
The voice came, and Sasaki suddenly gasped.
He discovered that Ye Cangtian had caught up to him with astonishing speed.
The golden trident, radiating golden light, descended like lightning from above.
"Damn it!"
Sasaki roared, instantly drawing his katana and blocking with all his might.
Ding!
With a slight hum from his katana, Sasaki froze on the spot.
The attack of the golden trident, seemingly like lightning, was unstoppable, carrying destructive energy.
But he had blocked it with ease, which was hard to believe.
Crack...
While he was still wondering, his katana suddenly made another slight sound. The finely crafted steel katana was instantly split in two.
At the same time, the golden light cut across his chest.
Huh?
Sasaki looked at his body blankly.
He was puzzled, why was there no pain at all even though the golden light had passed through his body, and not even any blood was seen?
Why did Xuan Qi choose to stop?
It was obvious that the outcome had been decided...
"Sasaki, Guiwu's massage techniques are quite good, I'll take her directly."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's voice, Sasaki snorted and instinctively said, "Just a good-for-nothing, do as you please!"
Wait!
As he spoke, Sasaki realized what he had said and asked, "What do you mean? Why did you stop fighting? Do you want to let me go?"
Sasaki's mind was a mess. He didn't understand why Ye Cangtian had suddenly stopped fighting and why he had brought up Guiwu again...
"If you think so, you can leave now!"
"But I advise you to remain still. That way, you might live a little longer!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said indifferently, putting the golden trident back into his Qiankun Bag.
Ah?
Are you bluffing me?
Hearing the other party's words, Sasaki furrowed his brows. Was that golden light really that powerful? But he hadn't felt any pain at all!
The next moment, Sasaki's face flushed red with anger. "You scoundrel, you think you can toy with me?"
Roaring, Sasaki, carrying his broken katana, was about to slash at Ye Cangtian.
However, at that moment, he found his body uncontrollably leaning forward, and his vision tilted downwards from Ye Cangtian, getting lower and lower.
Bang!
Finally, Sasaki's face made intimate contact with the ground.
It was only then that he realized his lower body was still in place, while his upper body had been split in two by that golden light.
At the same time, he finally felt endless pain and the sensation of his life force rapidly draining.
"I..."
"I don't want to die, can anyone save me..."
Sasaki finally panicked at the suddenness of it all.
He couldn't let go of his wealth and status, and still harbored a last glimmer of hope.
"No one can save you!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Sasaki, who was still struggling. With a strike of his trident, he shattered the heart, cutting off all signs of life.
With such a severe injury, it was unlikely that even a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir could work miracles.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian no longer paid attention and walked towards Guiwu.
On the other side, seeing Sasaki decapitated, Guiwu shed two tears, but there was no pain in her eyes.
It was clear that Sasaki's words had thoroughly wounded her heart.
Now, seeing Ye Cangtian slowly approaching, Guiwu closed her eyes, tilted her head back, revealing her fair neck.
Everything was unspoken.
Xuan Qi had killed everyone in the ninja squad to conceal Dawn's identity. Now that she was the only one alive, he naturally had to silence her.
She did not believe that he would spare her life for her so-called massage skills!
And her cultivation was now lost, she didn't even have the strength to get up, let alone resist.
Therefore, it was better to cooperate, and perhaps she could suffer less pain.
"Heh, are you stupid?"
"Didn't you hear what I said earlier? I didn't say I was going to kill you! What are you doing?"
Ye Cangtian looked at Guiwu with a helpless expression, muttering to himself, "Is my word that untrustworthy?"
"Hmph!"
Guiwu opened her eyes and snorted, "Do you want to humiliate me? As the victor, you have the right to do so, and I am powerless to resist, but you can only humiliate my corpse!"
As she spoke, Guiwu opened her mouth and bit down hard on her tongue.
She was confident in her beauty. Many men had been captivated by her.
Now that she had no ability to resist, it was normal for Xuan Qi to become beastly towards her.
But as a proud daughter of heaven, how could she endure such defilement?
Rather than accept all this, it was better to die!
"Idiot!"
Ye Cangtian reprimanded her exasperatedly, reaching out quickly. The next moment, he gasped.
This girl was serious, it really hurt!
On the other side, feeling the taste of blood in her mouth, Guiwu felt no pain.
Guiwu then realized that she hadn't bitten her own tongue, but Ye Cangtian's hand.
"Xuan Qi, don't push your luck!"
"If you want to humiliate me, I can't stop you, do as you please."
"But I beg you, let me die with my last shred of dignity. I really can't stand that scene."
"Please, I'll be your ox or horse in the next life, alright..."
Having failed in her suicide attempt, Guiwu's eyes welled up with mist, her body trembling with a crying voice.
Thinking of herself, a generation's proud daughter of heaven, ultimately reduced to someone else's plaything, her heart was filled with immense sorrow, yet all of this was beyond her control.
She was utterly powerless to change it.
