And paired with the master-level [Flash Technique], it always catches one off guard.
This time was no exception.
The man, worthy of being called a swordmaster, lost his ’Renowned Blades’ in a single exchange.
Then, his opponent kicked out without the slightest hesitation.
The leg moved, bringing a gust of wind.
Aimed straight at Jason’s lower abdomen.
And the intact hand was again reaching for the blade in Jason’s hand.
But Jason was faster.
Jason’s left leg, as if intercepting, stomped down on the opponent’s shin, exerting force directly.
The crisp sound of fracturing bone.
The opponent’s shin was broken.
While the hand that reached for Jason sizzled under the scorch of [Charles Burning Technique].
The opponent’s palm did manage to grab Jason’s hand.
But with a flick of Jason’s wrist, his index finger, middle finger, and thumb clamped down like steel hooks, securely grasping it, followed by the intercepting left leg lifting in a motion.
Within the dull thud, a multitude of internal organs ruptured with cracking sounds inside the opponent’s abdomen.
Organs mixed with blood made a gurgling, gurgling sound.
The pain made the opponent unable to help but open their mouth.
But the imminent scream was abruptly cut off.
Sharp blade carrying a cold glint swept across the opponent’s neck.
Under the pressure in the chest cavity, blood sprayed from the neck, reaching a good two or three meters high.
Jason stepped back to avoid the splatter of blood, flicking his long blade.
A straight line of blood appeared on the cobblestone ground.
Then, he muttered to himself in his heart—
Immediately, the [Evil-Slaying Slash]’s Silver Strike sliced across the beheaded corpse of the enemy before him.
The already fallen headless corpse twitched violently several times after being swept by the [Evil-Slaying Slash], and finally lay completely silent.
Nevertheless, Jason delivered another [Evil-Slaying Slash].
Just like his first [Evil-Slaying Slash].
It was completely a subconscious act.
Not because he noticed the opponent wasn’t dead.
But to make sure that the opponent was truly dead.
After all, in the ’Mystical Side’, there are simply too many manifestations of ’playing dead’.
Physical death for ordinary people means real death.
But for some entities on the ’Mystical Side’, death of the body is nothing more than finding a new shell, as simple as changing clothes.
A dead enemy is the best kind of enemy.
Jason wholeheartedly agrees with this saying from the ’Nightless City’.
And he truly, bodily follows through on this saying.
So far, the results are very good.
After confirming the real death of the enemy, Jason’s gaze shifts to his surroundings.
Kishizaki, Amakasu, Usami, and Naoe, four old men squinted their eyes and carefully shielded Uesugi, Hu Qiandai, including Hui Lijing behind them, watching Jason with extreme vigilance.
However, their red eyes and the continuous tears made the four old men look somewhat comical.
The master-level [Flash Technique] was too glaring.
Especially when caught off guard.
They were completely unprepared.
Almost immediately, they were plunged into blindness.
By the time they regained their vision, what they saw was the attacker’s leader with his head flying off, and two streaks of silver Sword Qi sweeping over his body.
It was really too fast!
They were unprepared to see such a fearsome enemy meet his death!
So fast that they instinctively became wary of Jason.
An enemy who could easily slay their leader is far more terrifying than the leader himself.
Even if this person was brought back by their Family Head, it was the same.
Necessary vigilance is essential.
Jason, however, paid no heed to such caution.
His gaze swept around him.
His eyes might not be able to pinpoint those hidden members of the ’Ten Blades’.
But his nose told him there were nine more tempting, sharp-scented ’foods’ around him.
Wasting food is shameful!
Jason, with such a simple belief, tossed the ’food’ in his hand, the ’Renowned Blades’ he had just seized, to Hui Lijing, letting his assistant temporarily keep it for him, then prepared to head towards the place with the strongest scent.
However, just as Jason was about to take a step, the ’food’ in his sense of smell began to move.
Then, in his perception, nine sharp aurae emerged.
Kishizaki, Amakasu, Usami, and Naoe protected Uesugi, Hu Qiandai, and Hui Lijing as they retreated continuously.
That sharp feeling, capable of effortlessly slicing rocks and chopping wood.
It made them feel as if their skins would be torn.
Direct and straightforward.
The remaining nine members of the ’Ten Blades’ thus stepped out, standing in full view of everyone.
Kishizaki, Amakasu, Usami, and Naoe once again retreated.
Not because they were pressed by the momentum.
But because tiny streaks of blood began to appear on Uesugi’s body.
It looked as if they were carved out by a small knife.
At a glance, dense and extremely gruesome and terrifying.
On the contrary, Hui Lijing and Hu Qiandai were unharmed.
"Father, how are you?"
Hu Qiandai asked quietly.
Uesugi gritted his teeth and bore the pain as he replied.
Despite the excruciating pain, Uesugi knew very well that the most important thing at the moment was the nine people who had just appeared.
Uesugi could tell that the man Jason had just killed was in no way a true mastermind, just a pawn.
