Chapter 544 Message
Chapter 544 Message
Jin Daya is the head of the gang and a powerful martial artist who has condensed his Qi Sea. Although he is smooth and tactful to outsiders, he is quite proud and arrogant in his heart.
If he hadn't witnessed Gao Wu kill Heavenly King Basong with a single sword strike, he wouldn't have knelt down like that.
When he actually knelt on the ground, Jin Daya abandoned all his pride.
"I was wrong. I'm willing to give up everything I own to save my life. Please, Master Gao, have mercy."
Jin Daya bowed deeply and kowtowed, saying, "A man's knees are worth gold; it's time to use them to save his life."
There's an old saying in the martial arts world: killing someone is just a matter of beheading them.
His head is practically buried in the ground, and you still won't give him a way out? That's just too unfair!
Gao Wu gently tapped Jin Daya's head with his sword sheath: "No need for kowtowing, go and tell Huang Shengtian a message."
Jin Daya paused, but was overjoyed. It was alive!
He hurriedly replied, "Please tell me, I will definitely pass on the message."
"Tell Huang Shengtian to hold a formal ceremony to invite fellow martial arts practitioners to kowtow and admit their mistakes in front of my master's grave, and I will spare his life."
Gao Wu said calmly, "After all, we are of the same race. It is not easy to condense a divine sea."
Jin Daya nodded repeatedly in agreement with unusual seriousness. If Gao Wu had said this a minute ago, he would have thought Gao Wu had gone mad.
Now, with Basong's body lying there, he felt that Gao Wu truly possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster, with a magnanimous and generous spirit, willing to give people a way out.
Gao Wu then reminded them, "Go now, and don't talk or do anything else on the way."
Jin Daya was puzzled. What did this mean?
Gao Wu waved his hand: "Go."
Jin Daya didn't dare to ask any more questions. He led his men to load Basong's body into the car. Although the group was in a hurry to leave, they still slowly started the car, turned halfway around, and drove away along the way they came.
Watching the two cars leave, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but ask, "Are you just letting them go like that?"
Based on her understanding of Gao Wu, he didn't have such a good temper.
The first time Jin Daya made a mistake, Gao Wu was lucky he didn't kill him. It's unbelievable that he'd let Jin Daya go this time.
"There are too many corpses, making disposal troublesome."
Gao Wu said, "It's better for everyone if they die somewhere far away..."
Lin Jiayi looked completely puzzled. How could Jin Daya and the others have died?
Lin Feihe, who had remained silent, didn't care about any of that. He asked directly, "Junior brother, have you condensed your Divine Sea?"
"not yet."
Gao Wu told the truth, "It will take a few more days."
He simply lacks the Divine Sea template, and the Iron Crane Sect doesn't have any related methods, so he needs some time to figure it out.
Having witnessed Basong's divine sea, Gao Wu understood its essence and had no further doubts about how to condense it.
He could condense his divine sea right now if he wanted to, but he prefers to let nature take its course.
In this world, the process is more important than the result.
Jin Daya and the others drove out of the mountain road and breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the endless stream of cars around them.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Biao turned to Jin Daya and said, "Boss, what does it mean that he won't let us talk?"
Jin Daya glanced at Chen Biao, but remembering Gao Wu's reminder, he ultimately didn't dare to speak.
He pointed ahead, indicating to Chen Biao to remind the driver to go to the Tianwu Building and not to go to the wrong place.
Seeing that Jin Daya remained silent, Chen Biao felt a little uneasy. He whispered to the driver, "Go to the Tianwu General Association. Don't get lost!"
Just as the driver was about to speak, Chen Biao's face suddenly turned bright red, and he spat out a large amount of blood, which sprayed all over the driver's head, face, and body, and even the car window next to the driver was covered in red blood.
Chen Biao was like a tap that had been turned on, gushing out blood. In the blink of an eye, his whole body convulsed and his eyes rolled back.
He struggled a few times in the passenger seat, and soon stopped breathing.
Chen Biao's sudden death terrified the driver. Jin Daya, sitting in the back, was also filled with horror.
The strong smell of blood in the car made Jin Daya almost vomit. He hurriedly opened the rear window, and the hot and humid wind outside rushed in, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
The driver also realized what was happening. He wiped his face and hurriedly opened the car window. The hot air carried away the smell of blood, but it couldn't take away Chen Biao's body.
The driver didn't dare to speak, and even drove very carefully, for fear of suddenly spitting blood and dying like Chen Biao.
After catching his breath, Jin Daya roughly figured it out. It must be that Gao Wu used hidden internal energy on them. Speaking and changing their breathing would trigger the hidden energy.
He hadn't seen Gao Wu use any tricks on the group. All he remembered was the hard scabbard touching the back of his head!
At the time, he was so scared that he didn't even feel the pain. Now, thinking back on it, he feels a great sense of unease.
Jin Daya was terrified, and fearing that he would arouse the hidden power left by Gao Wu, he could only force himself to remain calm and steady his breathing.
After a two-hour drive, we finally arrived at the Tin Woo Building in Causeway Bay.
The Tianwu Building, shaped like a straight, sky-piercing sword, is the tallest building in Nangang, actually over 400 meters high.
Jin Daya used to come to Tianwu Building often when he was with Huang Shengtian, so he was quite familiar with it.
Two people in the other car also died; they were thugs, after all, and it was very difficult to silence them. Fortunately, there were two survivors…
After getting out of the car, Jin Daya gestured for the others to take Basong's body, wrap it in clothes, and take the elevator from the underground parking garage.
As Huang Shengtian's confidant, Jin Daya had an access card that allowed him direct access to the top floor.
Huang Shengtian usually spends his time in his 500-square-meter office on the top floor, where he handles official business, meditates, and overlooks the South Port.
Here you can see the towering buildings along the bay, cargo ships and yachts coming and going at the dock, the deep blue sea, and the bustling South Harbor...
Huang Shengtian actually really liked this feeling. He felt like an emperor looking down on his own land, and the feeling of ruling over everything and controlling all living beings was very intoxicating to him.
As he got older, he no longer cared much about beauty or money; only power and violence could truly excite him.
When the secretary said that Kim Daya had arrived with a group of people, and that he seemed to have brought a corpse with him, it looked very strange.
Huang Shengtian still sent his secretary in with people. Jin Daya was his confidant and would never dare to harm him.
As soon as Jin Daya entered the door, he knelt down before Huang Shengtian, holding up a piece of paper that he had obtained from his secretary.
Huang Shengtian walked over and glanced at the paper, which read, "We've been ambushed by Gao Wu. If we open our mouths, we'll die. Please, boss, save me."
Huang Shengtian looked Jin Daya up and down, and could vaguely sense that there was a sharp sword-like energy hidden within him.
He frowned and reached out to press on Jin Daya's shoulder. Indeed, Jin Daya's chest was surrounded by a ring of sharp sword energy.
The opponent's technique was extremely skillful, like forcefully inserting a soft sword deep into Jin Daya's heart.
Any slight exertion or change in aura by Jin Daya will disrupt the stability of the sword qi, causing it to erupt.
The sword energy wasn't strong; it was simply inserted but couldn't be removed. This was because any contact with true energy would detonate the sword energy.
If left unchecked, the sword qi won't remain stable for long.
In short, Jin Daya is doomed.
Huang Shengtian reached out and pressed his hand against Jin Daya's chest, saying, "You can say whatever you want, it's fine."
Jin Daya immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Boss."
"Tell me clearly what happened," Huang Shengtian asked.
"Basong asked me to lead the way to Gao Wu, and publicly demonstrated his powerful martial arts of flying. Seeing him become a Heavenly King, how could I dare disobey? So I led him to find Gao Wu, but unexpectedly, Basong was killed by Gao Wu with a single sword strike..."
Jin Daya dared not hide anything and told the whole story.
Huang Shengtian listened silently, and even when he heard that Gao Wu had killed Tianwang Basong with a single sword strike and then told him to go to Lin Yunfeng's grave to kowtow and admit his mistake, he showed no expression.
Seeing the leader's calm demeanor, Jin Daya couldn't help but admire his shrewdness and developed some confidence in Huang Shengtian.
After all, he's the king who's dominated Nangang for decades; how could someone like Basong compare? Even with Gao Wu's strength, he's no match for the Dragon Head!
Huang Shengtian waited until Jin Daya finished speaking before releasing his hand from Jin Daya's chest. Jin Daya was about to say something when suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood...
With an invisible flow of true energy, Huang Shengtian blocked all the blood that Jin Daya spat out. Jin Daya, however, clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood repeatedly.
The blood fell on the scarlet carpet, but no bloodstains were visible; only patches of blood were left on the soft cashmere.
Jin Daya looked at Huang Shengtian in despair, but his eyes quickly dimmed, and soon he kicked his legs and stopped breathing.
The other henchmen were horrified when they saw this, and they all died spitting blood as well.
Ignoring their miserable state, Huang Shengtian lifted the clothes covering Basong's head and saw the smooth, vertical sword mark on the black lotus on his forehead.
After a moment of silence, Huang Shengtian sighed softly, "Such a swift sword, truly terrifying..." (End of Chapter)
