Chapter 257: Chapter 256 Decisive Assassin_1
Translator: 549690339
Five hundred years ago, a remarkable individual roamed the land, wielding a dark wooden stick and causing the death of many, bringing untold suffering to all creatures under heaven.
Moreover, with his extremely strong appeal, he gathered a group of desperate outlaws around him and kept killing those who represented justice. It was only after many reputable martial artists united and paid a terribly heavy price that they were able to execute this person at the foot of Black Mountain.
The dark wooden stick, which killed countless, came to be known as the Divine Weapon. Its murderous aura was so intense that the victorious powers held a meeting and, after exhausting all means, managed to split the Divine Weapon into three.
One piece is the one in Master Pendleton’s possession, and it is also the segment with the weakest murderous aura.
Yet even so, it’s not something that ordinary people could withstand.
“Young man, you are well-informed to recognize the Divine Weapon! Since this is the case, I cannot let you live!”
Master Pendleton held the stick in one hand while his kasaya moved without any wind.
To this day, the Divine Weapon is still considered forbidden. If it were known that the Divine Weapon was in one’s possession, even his sect would be implicated.
“Do you think you can simply choose to keep me here?”
In Julius Reed’s hand, “Divine Punishment” kept spinning, his gaze towards Master Pendleton was full of disdain.
The Divine Weapon? That’s nothing remarkable in front of me!
Even if the world’s ten greatest Divine Weapons were to appear, Julius Reed would not be afraid.
“Then taste the flavor of fresh blood!”
By then, Master Pendleton had lost all semblance of kindness, replaced by the fierce and malevolent visage of a demon.
Like a demon straight out of hell, he approached step by step with a ferocious face.
“Even if it’s blood, it will be your blood!”
The moment Julius Reed’s words fell, he sprang forward like an arrow shot from a bow!
Clang!
Master Pendleton’s Divine Weapon swept through the air, colliding with ‘Divine Punishment’!
Taking advantage of the force, Julius Reed struck out with a single palm, hitting Master Pendleton directly on the shoulder. Master Pendleton, in turn, swept out a kick, forcing Julius Reed back!
Splurt!
A spurt of fresh blood sprayed from Master Pendleton’s mouth, making him stagger slightly.
“Your Inner Strength is so profound!”
Shock was evident on Master Pendleton’s face, and he found it difficult to hold the Divine Weapon steady.
The opponent’s movements were too fast; by the time he saw the attack, it was too late to dodge!
And such an adversary, Master Pendleton, who had been out of retreat for decades, had never encountered before!
“Who exactly are you!”
He coughed, blood trailing down the corner of his mouth.
“Brother, with our combined strength, we must kill him here today to prevent the common people from suffering any harm!”
Master Pendleton immediately moved to Master Pendleton’s side, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
His own brother was so formidable and yet not Julius Reed’s match — how powerful was this young man?
“Very well! If not I, who will walk into hell? Today, as brothers, we must execute this vermin right here, lest he harm the innocent!”
Master Pendleton steadied his breath and slammed the Divine Weapon onto the ground with force!
Boom!
With the appearance of a puff of black smoke, the previously unsettled air spread, and the Windy Johnson, which was blowing, came to a halt, allowing dust to fill the air.
In an instant, the sunlit villa was shrouded in darkness, filled with yellow and black dust so thick that one couldn’t see what was in front of them.
Julius Reed slightly closed his eyes, beginning to sense this small world around him.
When eyes fail to see clearly, ears become the best sensors.
But the other two seemed to have realized this and began to continually emit chanting sounds.
The entire space presented an extremely bizarre scene. The world was shrouded in darkness, yet the chanting made it feel as if there was light all around, involuntarily relaxing one’s vigilance and wishing to enjoy the peace of this world.
But!
The moment the chanting stopped, murderous intent surged from every direction!
Slash!
After two sharp whistling sounds, Master Pendleton and Master Long Eyebrow surrounded Julius Reed, one in front and one behind!
Three palms reached out towards Julius Reed in an instant, as if to crush him into dust the very next moment.
Yet Julius Reed’s figure suddenly vanished, as if he had never been there!
“Damn!”
Master Pendleton cursed inwardly, realizing it was too late to turn around!
Bang!
At that moment, Julius Reed’s figure suddenly appeared behind him, throwing a fierce punch!
Crack!
Caught completely off guard and already injured, Master Pendleton was unable to defend himself. His spine shattered upon impact, and he fell heavily to the ground!
“Junior Brother!”
Seeing Master Pendleton’s tragic state, Master Long Eyebrow swung his divine staff with all his might, tearing through the void and pressing towards Julius Reed!
Clang!
Julius Reed dodged to the side, his Divine Punishment once again clashing with the divine staff!
It was in this instant that Master Long Eyebrow vanished as if he had never existed.
“Ah!”
Looking at Master Pendleton’s corpse on the ground, Julius Reed couldn’t help but sigh.
Although his spine was broken, Master Pendleton wouldn’t have died, but Master Long Eyebrow’s staff had struck straight down, piercing through Master Pendleton’s body and killing his junior brother on the spot!
There was only one reason: Master Pendleton was unable to escape and had to be silenced or else their entire lineage would be exposed!
Once the forces behind Julius Reed sought revenge, it would bring about the destruction of their order!
After killing Master Pendleton, Master Long Eyebrow had already fled the villa, whereabouts unknown!
But this escape came at a severe cost; he would not be able to return to his physical prime for at least five years!
Looking at the body on the ground and the villa’s guards lying scattered and motionless, Julius Reed turned and left.
In the recent fight, Master Long Eyebrow had directly used a psychic attack, putting the guards to sleep and driving them to suicide.
Not long after Julius Reed left, five sedans slowly drove into the villa’s entrance.
Seated inside were members of the Leopold Family, who had received the news!
“Old master, I offer my early congratulations for finally dealing with this thorn in our side!”
Fernando Leopold clasped his hands and looked at Whitley Leopold with a beaming smile.
They had received a phone call stating that Master Long Eyebrow had effortlessly captured Julius Reed and was now tormenting him.
The Leopold Family didn’t dare delay, rushing to take their revenge on Julius Reed before his last breath, to avenge Atlas Leopold!
It had been many years since anyone dared to provoke the Leopold Family like this.
“Fernando, what are you saying? This is clearly a stroke of luck for the entire Leopold Family! But in the end, it’s all thanks to Master Long Eyebrow’s profound cultivation, capturing Julius Reed so easily. I even thought it would take a lot of effort!”
Whitley Leopold couldn’t hide the smile on his face, knowing that once Julius Reed was killed, Miguel Abbott would be left alone and become the prime target for Gonzalez City’s wealthy businessmen!
“Let’s hurry inside, lest we’re too late and miss out on dealing with Julius Reed, which would be a great pity indeed!”
Having said that, he led the way towards the villa.
