Berserk God of War-Chapter 90 - 0: Great Shang, Shadow Sect

Su Yuexi could not even begin to compare with her own Fourth Level of the Dark Realm.

Whether it was the new rule of not being allowed to concede or the drawing of lots, all were clandestine manipulations done by the Four Great Families to the personnel of the City Lord Mansion.

Hai Ke, he wanted to face Su Yuexi in the very first match.

"I want to make you cry and beg for mercy on the arena, in front of the whole city, in front of your criminal husband," he said.

"Su Yuexi, you’ve become more beautiful, haven’t you? Haha, I’m even more excited now."

Hai Ke’s face twisted into a ferocious expression, and then with a flourish of his sword, he declared, "First, I want to make you kneel before me."

The sword light flew fiercely, coldly stabbing towards Su Yuexi.

However, Su Yuexi, who had been silent all this time, raised her beautiful eyes and took a deep breath. Icy blue sword light followed her hand and thrust outwards, showcasing the Floating Moon Sword Technique, with the sword light flashing like a blue crescent.

With a bang, Hai Ke’s sword light was slashed into pieces, yet the blue crescent continued unabated.

Spurt...

In an instant, Hai Ke, still intoxicated with himself, stiffened, as a blue crescent flashed across his shoulder, spraying blood in a fan-like shape.

Hai Ke’s hand gripping the sword suddenly felt intense pain and weakness.

Clang...

The sword fell to the ground, and Hai Ke took several steps back, holding his shoulder in death, and fell to his knees under the unbearable pain.

And this kneel hushed the clamor of the entire arena; silence fell in an instant.

Standing in front of Su Zhenglong, Su Zhengtao’s smile vanished in a moment, and he stood dumbfounded.

In the direction of the Su Family, Su Xuefeng, who had been rubbing his hands together in anticipation, stood in a daze.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The people of the other Three Great Families stood up in unison, staring incredulously at the arena with their mouths agape.

Meanwhile, Su Zhenglong and Mei Xiaofang were gawking, their mouths forming perfect circles: How could their daughter be so powerful, resolving the fight with just one sword strike?

"Dark Realm Fifth Level."

Suddenly, a voice came from nowhere, and then a commotion broke the silence, everyone in disbelief.

She was just at the First Level of the Dark Realm yesterday; how did she reach the Fifth Level today?

Only Su Zhenglong seemed to realize something, and he quickly turned to look at Sikong Jing, who remained as calm as ever, and asked, "Ajing, did you give anything to Yue Xi to eat?"

Mei Xiaofang also asked hesitantly, "Could it be that you still have treasures from the Fierce Beast Bandits?"

Twisting his mouth, Sikong Jing thought: The Fierce Beast Bandits have been dead for so long, when will you ever forget them?

Sikong Jing rubbed his aching head and replied weakly, "It’s not from the Fierce Beast Bandits; during my trip out of the city, the Luoshui Jade Line provided a Primordial Truth Pill as compensation, which I then gave to Yue Xi to consume."

The words above were, of course, the honest truth.

"Impossible, do you not know what a treasure the Primordial Truth Pill is? Why would the Luoshui Jade Line give it to you?" Su Zhengtao, who had heard Sikong Jing’s words clearly, twisted his face in disbelief.

His ranking in martial strength within the Su Family was getting lower and lower. Su Yue Immortal, Sikong Jing... now even Su Yuexi was about to surpass him.

The bastard, it’s unbearable!

Sikong Jing sneered coldly, "Why did Luo Ning manage to survive the slaughter? Because I saved her."

Su Zhengtao was extremely aware of the slaughter of the two merchant groups. Upon hearing these words, he was completely speechless; it turned out Luo Ning had escaped the slaughter because Sikong Jing had saved her.

So, it was perfectly reasonable for her to offer the Primordial Truth Pill as a lifesaving grace.

Armed with this information, Su Zhenglong and Mei Xiaofang also had a moment of realization, their faces bursting with excitement.

"You cunning kid, you’ve been keeping us in the dark," Su Zhenglong couldn’t help but scold with a laugh, feeling completely relieved.

In the Dark Realm Fifth Level, no one within Yunye City could stop Yue Xi from claiming three spots, nor could anyone defeat her.

At this moment, Su Yuexi’s melodious voice echoed across the platform, "Sir, did I win?"

She was naturally addressing the City Lord Guard Officer, who snapped back to reality upon hearing her and then announced Su Yuexi’s victory.

Without giving Hai Ke another glance, Su Yuexi gracefully stepped down from the platform and removed the scarf covering her face, then hurried towards Sikong Jing, happily exclaiming, "Brother Jing, I won."

Sikong Jing embraced her, playfully rubbing her nose as he said, "I knew it, my Yue Xi could definitely win."

The two of them displayed their affection unabashedly.

Meanwhile, Su Xuefeng, Hai Ke, who was being supported off the stage, and those from the Four Great Families, were all seething with fury.

When Su Xuefeng learned from Su Zhengtao that Sikong Jing had received the Primordial Truth Pill for saving Luo Ning, he couldn’t help but curse repeatedly, "Chou Ye, that idiot, why did he let that criminal leave the city?"

Twice now, if Sikong Jing hadn’t left the city those two times, where would their rising opposition be?

Damn it, it was all Chou Ye’s fault.

"Dad, what do we do now? No one can beat Su Yuexi," bemoaned Su Zhengtao, extremely frustrated.

Their plan was falling apart; they needed to force Sikong Jing and Su Zhenglong to enter the competition!

But within the top ten, the strongest was Hai Ke, who had reached the Dark Realm Fourth Level, and no one could defeat Su Yuexi.

"We must figure something out; we can’t just let this go."

Su Xuefeng paced back and forth incessantly, and just then, a piece of paper from the Hai Family arrived that broadened his horizons.

Thereafter, Su Xuefeng pocketed the note and looked towards Sikong Jing and the others.

"Heh heh, I’ll let you enjoy yourselves a bit longer."

Clearly, the Hai Family already had a scheme, but they’d have to wait a bit longer before executing it.

Meanwhile, the second match of the top ten battle in the arena began.

Sikong Jing and the others, for the moment, turned into spectators, unaware that another plot was creeping towards them.

All of a sudden...

Sikong Jing’s body broke out in goosebumps, and he suddenly turned his gaze towards the entrance of the Martial Arts Arena.

There were two men, two men in black, slowly walking in their direction.

A token swung at their waists, shaking with their movements, engraved with the character for "Shadow."

"The Great Shang Dynasty, Shadow Sect!" freewёbnoνel.com

Sikong Jing spoke in a low and cold tone, then took a deep breath and said, "Yue Xi, I just remembered something that needs to be taken care of. You all wait here for me."

After saying this, Sikong Jing glanced at the two men in black before using his Beast Skill Flowing Cloud to swiftly vanish into the crowd.

The two men in black hesitated, exchanged a glance, and said, "Chase him!"

On the other side, Su Yuexi stared blankly in the direction where Sikong Jing had disappeared, feeling an inexplicable unease in her heart.

Within Yunye City flows a river, also named Yunye River.

While the genius battle within the Martial Arts Arena was in full swing, the two ends of the river were deserted.

Standing erect on the bridge in the middle of the river, Sikong Jing peered down at the two men in black below with a solemn gaze and coldly asked, "Shadow Sect, are you here to kill me or to capture me?"

The Shadow Sect of the Great Shang Dynasty is a terrifying organization tasked with carrying out assassinations abroad and investigating important officials within the Dynasty.

Before his banishment, Sikong Jing also held the position of the head of the Shadow Sect.

Naturally, with his banishment and fall from grace, his connection to the Shadow Sect had vanished, and now it was clear they were coming for him.

This terrifying sharp blade was about to be turned upon him.

"Did Yan Tianmo and Yan Ruyu change their minds?" Sikong Jing glared, asking sternly.
