As Jiang Wuming, covered in blood, walked step by step towards the main building of the club, recalling everything he had just done, Sato Matada and his bodyguards, as well as the ninjas whose strength was below the Nine-Star Martial Realm, all felt a chill down their spines!
That feeling was as if Jiang Wuming were the Grim Reaper from hell, coming to claim their lives.
"As long as we hold on for a moment, we can kill the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall once the experts from the Sato family arrive! Now, everyone go downstairs and resist with all your might to stall for time!"
Sato Matada spoke again. Despite his fear, he remained calm. He first gave his subordinates hope, then ordered them to go downstairs again to stop Jiang Wuming.
Huh?
Hearing Sato Matada's words, everyone except Sato Matada's bodyguards was moved.
Earlier, while Jiang Wuming was fighting Sato Yingji and others, they had heard Sato Matada talking to Sato Tenichi, the head of the Sato family, reporting the situation there.
"Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed on the spot!"
Just as those ninjas were thinking about Sato Matada's phone call, Sato Matada turned to his bodyguards and said.
Using both carrot and stick.
While giving his subordinates hope, he also threatened them, urging them to desperately resist Jiang Wuming!
"Yes, sir!"
Sato Matada's bodyguards understood and immediately accepted the order, releasing their killing intent again, their gazes like knives sweeping across every subordinate.
Swish, swish, swish...
The ninjas snapped out of their daze, then turned around in unison and headed for the stairs, preparing to meet and resist Jiang Wuming.
"Quickly get me out of here!"
After all the ninjas had gone downstairs, Sato Matada whispered his command to his bodyguards.
"Yes, sir!"
Sato Matada's bodyguards heard this, and no surprise showed on their faces. They had already guessed this would happen.
Although Sato Matada had reported the matter to Sato Tenichi, and Sato Tenichi would send experts from the family to provide support, Sato family experts could not arrive in such a short time.
Under such circumstances, Sato Matada could only let his subordinate ninjas act as cannon fodder to block Jiang Wuming, buying himself time to escape.
As he spoke, he immediately leaped out of the window at the back of the main building of the club with Sato Matada.
However—
As soon as they landed, they saw a figure emerge from the darkness like a ghost, blocking their way.
Swish! Swish!
In an instant, Sato Matada and his bodyguards' faces changed!
Because the person blocking their way was none other than Jiang Wuming!
This made them feel as if they had fallen into an abyss, a chill from head to toe!
"The... the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall, the matter of washing the Battle Dragon Hall training base with blood was done by Sato Yingji! He wanted to please Sato Tenichi, the head of the Sato family, with this matter. It has nothing to do with me..."
Immediately, Sato Matada spoke first.
It had to be said that as the leader of the Triad, he possessed psychological resilience that ordinary people could not have. Even though he knew the odds were heavily stacked against him and he was terrified to the extreme, he still tried his best to control his emotions, attempting to exonerate himself to gain a chance of survival.
Whoosh!
However, just as Sato Matada was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by a sharp whistling sound.
Sato Matada's bodyguard made his move.
He did not wait to be killed. Instead, while Sato Matada was speaking and attracting Jiang Wuming's attention, he suddenly drew his katana, stomped his foot, and thrust it towards Jiang Wuming.
Drawing the sword, attacking, all in one fluid motion.
Stimulated by the survival instinct, Sato Matada's bodyguard unleashed combat power beyond his limits, his speed reaching the extreme!
Facing the sudden attack from Sato Matada's bodyguard, Jiang Wuming neither dodged nor evaded. He stood still, as if caught completely off guard.
This discovery made both Sato Matada and his bodyguard overjoyed!
At this moment, in their desperate situation, they saw hope for survival, like a glimmer of light in the darkness.
However—
An instant later, that light was extinguished.
Swish!
Just as Sato Matada's katana reached Jiang Wuming, Jiang Wuming suddenly swung his hands, turning them into palms and making a gesture like a monk clasping his hands together, catching the katana.
The katana stopped thirty centimeters from Jiang Wuming's face, unable to advance even half an inch further.
"Uh..."
The sudden turn of events left Sato Matada and his bodyguard stunned.
Although Jiang Wuming had previously displayed terrifying combat power, killing Sato Yingji and others in a short period, they were still shocked to see Jiang Wuming catching the sword in such a manner!
Shocked?
Clang!
Immediately, before Sato Matada's bodyguard could withdraw his sword, Jiang Wuming exerted force with both hands, directly snapping the katana.
The katana broke, and Sato Matada's bodyguard, holding the broken pieces of the katana, continued forward due to inertia.
Jiang Wuming shifted his body slightly, brushing past Sato Matada. At the same time, with the tip of his right index and middle fingers holding the broken piece of the katana, he suddenly swung it!
"Pfft—"
A flash of white light, and blood splattered.
The head and body of Sato Matada's bodyguard were instantly separated. Scalding blood spurted upwards, and the blood-stained head fell. The headless corpse still gripped the katana, and due to inertia, it continued to charge forward.
A rain of blood fell. Sato Matada stood rooted to the spot, bathed in the bloody downpour, motionless, simply staring at the horrifying scene before him!
Under the night sky, for the first time, a look of terror appeared on his face.
It was an uncontrollable terror—even though Sato Matada had tried his best to control his emotions, he was utterly unable to do so!
As a core member of the Sato family and the leader of the Triad, Sato Matada had killed people and had witnessed killings, not just once.
But the scene of Jiang Wuming killing Sato Matada's bodyguard still brought immense shock to Sato Matada!
An unbelievable method, an act that could be called art...
If viewed from an observer's perspective, Sato Matada would consider this a performance art piece!
However—
He was not an observer!
Moreover, he knew very well that this Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall, wearing a ghost mask, had a deep-seated hatred with the Sato family, hating them to the bone!
How terrifying is a person who treats revenge as a performance?
Along with the horror, Sato Matada pondered this question in his heart.
Whoosh!
What responded to Sato Matada was a whistling sound.
Under the night sky, Jiang Wuming turned around and walked towards the front courtyard of the club. With his back to Sato Matada, he flicked the broken katana, stained with blood, with his right hand. It soared out, transforming into a red streak of light, and accurately pierced Sato Matada's head.
"Pfft—"
Blood splattered, and Sato Matada instantly died, going to the King of Hell to ask him his questions.
Two minutes later, the ninjas in the front courtyard of the club were reaped like wheat by Jiang Wuming, all falling into pools of blood.
The Triad club was a river of blood, with no survivors.
Jiang Wuming, covered in blood, strode away.
The night was still young!
