Chapter 1681 At that moment, the Blood Ninja was spitting up blood and his face was pale. He was very depressed and disappointed. He initially wanted to make full use of his strength and specialty to put Fade to death, but never in his lifetime did he expect him to be so powerful. The Blood Ninja trapped himself in such a situation. However, for Blood Ninjas, such a situation was far from hopeless. As a Blood Ninja who had been trained through death and blood all year round, he would not easily give up until the last moment. While thinking about that, a hint of determination flashed across his eyes. He no longer dodged, but turned around to fight against Fade. He was not as strong as him. It would almost be a sure win for Fade the Blood Ninja fought with him head-on. However, he did so at the moment, which made a lot of spectators confused. After several bangs and collisions with Fade, the Blood Ninja spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood. Half of his body had been dyed red by blood and he looked very miserable.. However, even when he was in such a situation, the corners of his mouth perked up, revealing a faint smile.. "Poof!" It was another head-on collision. The Blood Ninja who was bumped by Fade spurted out blood from his mouth, and his face turned paler. Yet, he did not retreat but instead, moved forward at that moment. Being drenched in blood, he rushed toward Fade in a jerk. At the same time, a layer of bright red blood was coated on his right arm, and a small blood dagger appeared in his hand. He secretly and swiftly stabbed towards Fade. His action was completely beyond everyone's expectation. After receiving a strike, the Blood Ninja surprisingly didn't retreat but moved forward and launched another fierce attack. Moreover, his speed was faster than before. Many viewers couldn't even keep up with his movements anymore. Among the audience, Narumi's facial expression altered rapidly when he saw that scene, exclaiming, "Oh no, the Blood Ninja has launched the Blood-bursting Strike." "Blood-bursting Strike!" Upon hearing that term, the faces of Eichi and the others sank and became somewhat grim. The so-called "Blood-bursting Strike" was the Blood Ninjas' legendary ultimate move. Applying the impulsive force from the explosion of blood, Blood Ninjas would launch a vicious strike which surpassed their very own strength in a short period of time. Relying on the outbreak of power, the Blood Ninja would be able to surpass his opponent and kill him. This was also one of the core techniques of Blood Ninjas. The Blood-bursting Strike implemented the principle of blood accumulation from living humans. It was too harsh and cruel, which was why Blood Ninjas were condemned to be unacceptable. Now that the Blood Ninja had launched his Blood-bursting Strike, it could be said to be his last and most ferocious trick. If Fade couldn't dodge nor avoid it, his previous advantages would be meaningless. Liza overheard the discussion of the people around her and could not help revealing a worried look on her face. As for the Akao family, they were thrilled and were waiting for the Blood Ninja to kill Fade with one strike. However, just as the Blood Ninja thought that his unique skill would definitely bring him victory, Fade saw his attack, shook his head, and said lightly, "Is this the so-called Blood Ninjas' ultimate skill? It's just so-so. I thought I'd be impressed, but the result disappointed me so much. "You... You're courting death!" Upon witnessing Fade who dared to look down on his ultimate move, the Blood Ninja was uncontrollably enraged. The blood aura in his right hand surged and his killing intent intensified. "Go to hell!" The Blood Ninja shouted fiercely, and his attack was brutal. At that moment, Fade, who was facing the move, stretched out his right arm and directly grabbed the dagger which was in the Blood Ninja's right hand. "You ignorant creature, Blood Ninja said with a cold laugh. However, when he felt his right hand freeze, his expression immediately changed. This was because he thought that the dagger could pierce through Fade's right hand, but at that moment, it stabbed his palm and couldn't move an inch, as if he had stabbed into an alloy wall. "This..." Before the Blood Ninja could react, Fade twisted his right hand to grab and lock onto the Blood Ninja's wrist. He pulled it hard, causing the Blood Ninja to fall towards him. Then, Fade kicked at him and it fell on his Dantian abdomen. In an instant, with a cracking sound, his Dantian burst, and his cultivation was completely destroyed. At the same time, his whole body bounced up in the air by a giant force, and finally fell to the ground with a slap. Blood splashed and splattered, and the Blood Ninja stopped breathing. As a Blood Ninja who was at the peak of the Earth Level, his Dantian was severely ruined by Fade, and he fell to his death from a height. Such a scene truly stunned everyone. For a moment, they were so shocked that they could not speak. It was not until Fade stood up with his hands clasped behind his back, looked at Kento, and announced loudly did the audience come to their senses, "I won. The Akao family, from now onwards, belongs to Liza. Upon hearing that, everyone burst into an uproar. "The Blood Ninja is dead. Fade Chen won." "Liza and the Uchida family won the match. The Hachi Clan will belong to them. "Fade is too powerful. He killed the Blood Ninja with his last kick." "This match is full of ups and downs!" In the midst of the discussion, the faces of the Akao family were as still as water, and they looked awful. Taira couldn't help but stand up. His eyes were filled with anger as he said, "Dad, I'll go and compete..." Kento held him down and shook his head, saying, "You're no match for him. If you compete with him, you're just digging your own grave." "However, can we just admit defeat like this? The Akao family has been planning for so many years, but now... Taira was unwilling to accept the outcome, "Dad, you're a Heaven master. How bout you..." Kento shook his head and said, "If I enter the arena, I can defeat Fade. Yet, Narumi won't let me fight. As a Heaven Level master and a Martial Arts Master, I can't enter the arena as I wish. "Then, do we really have to hand the Akao family over? This..." Taira was extremely unhappy. Kento's facial expression changed. Without saying anything, he patted Taira on the shoulder and said, "Don't say anything further. I'll arrange it." Immediately after, he stood up and announced, "The Akao family has lost this battle. After that, he was ready to bring his people away. Seeing this, Narumi spoke loudly, "Akao family, don't forget the bet just now. You have lost. The Akao family will now belong to Liza. Tomorrow, we will come to accept it and we ask Kento to please be well-prepared. "This is not for you to worry about. The Akao family will fulfil our promise." Kento had an unpleasant facial expression. He immediately flicked his sleeves and left after speaking. The members of the Akao family immediately followed while people from the Hachi Clan who supported the Akao family left as well. There were people who had a change of expressions on their faces at the moment. They did not leave, and had other thoughts. It was obvious that they wanted to turn and side with Liza and the Uchida family. If those who followed the Akao family had scruples, then the people in the neutral faction and the other lower castes didn't have so much concern. When the Akao family admitted defeat, they immediately surrounded Liza and Narumi, displaying their goodwill and support.
Chapter 1682 Narumi coped with the situation skillfully. Liza, who did not mind the compliments that were coming from her surroundings, got off the stage and came to Fade, asking with concern, "Fade, are you hurt?" He smiled and comforted her, "Liza, don't worry, I'm fine. A martial artist at the peak of the Earth Level can't hurt me yet." "It's good that you're not injured." She smiled, "This time, it's all thanks to you. I don't even know how I should show my gratitude..." He waved his hand, "It's something I've promised you. You don't have to be so polite." "Everyone is waiting for you to speak as the new president of Hachi Clan. Go ahead!" He said to her with a smile. She glanced at the throng around Narumi, nodded and walked over. She then gave a speech in public and gained a warm round of applause. Although Fade didn't quite understand what she was saying, he could guess the overall meaning. It was nothing more than to thank everyone for their support, and that she would develop and lead the Hachi Clan towards advancement in the future. That night, the entire Hachi Clan headquarters was transformed into a sea of joy. Narumi hosted a grand celebration banquet and had a good drink with the people who had pledged allegiance to the Hachi Clan. At the same time, he took the opportunity to draw everyone over to his side so that they could establish partnership in the future. As Fade didn't share the same language with them and didn't like such occasions, he left after a simple social engagement. After returning to his room, he washed up, changed into a new set of clothes, and prepared to head out. He wanted to meet with the investigation team. Earlier in the battling arena, he found that Joben from the Akao family had been taking the gene-strengthening liquid for a long time. He was almost certain that the disappearance of Professor Song had something to do with the Akao family. Therefore, he had to inform Cindy and the others, and at the same time, discuss future plans and arrangements. As a result of the grand banquet, the Hachi Clan headquarters was somehow deserted at this time of the night. There were only patrolling personnel who occasionally strolled around. Almost everyone else gathered in the living room. Fade passed through a nearby courtyard and was ready to go out through the side door. However, just as he was about to leave, he saw two dark shadows quietly scurrying into the woods on the side. "Did someone sneak in?" He couldn't help but be alert. He changed his mind instantly and stealthily followed the two shadows. The area of the woods was not large but it was exquisitely decorated. There were all kinds of trees, flowers, and plants, as well as artificial mountains and rocks that were especially brought in for decoration. Yet, in the midst of the starry night, those strange silhouettes added a gloomy atmosphere to the woods. Nonetheless, it was also convenient for Fade to follow them from behind. He hid behind various trees and stones, catching up with the shadows in no time. The duo stopped in a small pavilion, and Fade halted behind a stone more than ten meters away, observing what was going on. Seeing the silhouettes of the duo, Fade discovered that they were a man and a woman. He immediately grew even more curious. At that time, the two of them started to speak. The woman, who spoke first, asked, "Eichi, what is the secret you mentioned?" Upon hearing the voice, Fade was surprised and his face showed astonishment. The voice was familiar to him. It was none other than Liza. Although Fade did not understand what she said, he still could hear the name, Eichi. Fade, who was suspicious, alerted in an instant. These two are Eichi and Liza. According to the meaning of her words, it seems that he had asked her to come out and told her that he had secrets to let her know!" Just as Fade was shocked and alert, Eichi said, "Liza, actually, this matter is of great importance. You must not spread it!" "Huh, what the hell is that!" She was even more curious. Eichi walked two steps towards her. The two of them got closer and were almost pressed against each other. She seemed to be slightly surprised by such intimacy and she subconsciously moved back a step. However, at that moment, Eichi suddenly rose up and lifted his palm, slapping the nape of her neck with all his might. She did not expect him to launch an attack against her. She could not help but be surprised, "Eichi, you..." Before she could finish her words, her body went limp and was about to fall to the ground. Eichi stretched out his arm and pulled Liza into his embrace. He then looked down at her, who was unconscious, and said, "Liza, why won't you accept me? We could have been a couple and lead the Hachi Clan together. However, you did this to me, and I have no choice.... Just as he sighed emotionally, Fade sprung out and rushed over. With Fade's speed, he might be able to save Liza before Eichi took action. However, he did not expect that Eichi would actually attack her. Therefore, he did not manage to act in time. As Eichi was sighing emotionally, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him. He couldn't help but be shocked. Shouting and striking out his palm in the direction of the shadow, he questioned, "Who is it?" However, how could his attack hit Fade, given that his level was below par? Fade avoided the attack with ease and rushed into the pavilion, hitting Eichi's shoulder and knocking him backwards. He then carried Liza over, put his palm on her back, and injected her with positive energy. After being knocked back by Fade, Eichi staggered and when he saw the face of the black shadow clearly, he couldn't help but put on a ferocious and angry expression, "It's you, Fade." Fade looked at him coldly, "What are you doing? Why did you do that to Liza?" With his facial expression changing. Eichi quietly moved his hands and attempted to find an excuse, "You misunderstood me. I, I was just... Fade had completely noticed his little movements as he shouted out coldly all of a sudden, "You betrayed Liza!" While they were talking, Fade was ready to leave with her. Eichi called out coldly upon seeing that, "Take action, kill him!" In an instant, more than a dozen people jumped out from the woods and charged towards Fade. He could only stop healing Liza for the time being and turned to attack those bunch of people. In the midst of the fight, Fade realized that all of them had extraordinary abilities. They were almost all warriors within the range of intermediate until advanced stage of the Earth Level. Among them, Fade found some familiar faces who were the internal members of the Hachi Clan. Seeing such a situation, he was in shock. He looked at Eichi fiercely and said in a harsh voice, The Uchida family betrayed Liza, and you all want to rebel?" "Since you know so much, it's time for you to die, Eichi said, gritting his teeth and launching an attack at Fade at the same time. "If you want to kill me, it won't be so easy. Fade coldly harrumphed. He then launched his attack with a rumbling sound.
Chapter 1683 These people were indeed masters and they could be said to be the elites of the Hachi Clan, but when they were against Fade, they couldn't fight back at all. As long as they were hit by him, they were knocked to the ground immediately and lost their fighting ability. In just a few minutes, Eichi was the only one left among the group. Eichi, who had been so confident just a moment ago, couldn't help changing his facial expression and he panicked. Fade's face darkened as he strode towards him and said in a cold voice, "Do you think you can escape?" Eichi was terrified and he kept retreating. Fade continued to approach him and questioned in a cold voice, "Tell me, what the hell is going on? When did the Uchida family rebel? What's your purpose?" "I, I..." Eichi felt Fade's oppressive power and his face turned a little pale. "No answer! Alright, then I'll give you some means to force you to spill it!" Fade snorted coldly. With a light leap, he instantly came to Eichi's side, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up with force, "Now, are you willing to spill it?" "Ahem, ahem, I, I... Feeling the pain behind him, Eichi's face flushed red. He struggled with all his might, but it was useless. "Say it! Otherwise, I'll kill you right away, Fade bellowed, and the strength in his hand increased. Just then, chaotic footsteps were heard. Along with the flickering lights, the sound got closer. Seeing hope dawning on him, there was a trace of anticipation on Eichi's panicking face, and he hurriedly shouted, "Help!" Upon hearing the sound, the footsteps approached at a faster pace. Soon, Fade saw a group of people armed with illuminating equipment arriving at the front of the pavilion with swords in their hands. The leader of that group of people was clearly Narumi. As soon as Narumi came in and saw the situation in the pavilion, his gaze changed and his expression revealed that he was alert. He looked at Fade fiercely. Next to Narumi was Kenji. When he saw the situation, he was even more surprised and couldn't help but stare at Fade, yelling, "Fade, what did you do? Why did you attack Mr. Eichi? What happened to Miss Liza?" Upon hearing that, Fade couldn't help frowning with an odd look on his face. Before he could explain, Eichi, who was in Fade's hand, hurriedly said, "Dad, save me quickly. Fade is a traitor. He wanted to attack Miss Liza just now, but was discovered by my men. He tried to kill me to cover up his intentions. Kenji was full of rage when he heard him. He glared at Fade and shouted, "Fade, how can you do such a thing? Miss Liza trusts you so much, but you betrayed her. You let me down. I... While speaking, Kenji, who was furious, took out his sword and was about to attack Fade. Fade threw Eichi directly on the ground and stared at Kenji and Narumi as he snorted and said, "Up till now, you're still pretending in front of me? Is that meaningful?" "Since the Uchida family has betrayed others, don't try to win people's support in the name of Liza. It's shameful!" Fade's spirit was triggered and his energy exploded. He was about to fight against Kenji. However, at that time, Narumi shouted and stretched out his big hand, pulling Kenji over, saying, "Wait a minute!" "Master Uchida, why are you.... Kenji looked puzzled. Instead of explaining to him, Narumi looked at Fade and asked in a low voice, "Fade, you just said that the Uchida family betrayed Miss Liza. What does that mean?" "What does it mean? It's the literal meaning." Fade said coldly. "Since your son, Eichi, was already ready to attack Liza, why do you still have to put up an act in front of me? Do you think I'll believe in you?" "What? My son attacked Miss Liza?" Narumi's face was full of surprise. He looked at Eichi, who was lying on the ground coughing violently. Eichi hurriedly shouted and explained, "Dad, you're listening to this outsider's nonsense. He wanted to attack Miss Liza, but I found out. That's why he deliberately slandered me." Narumi's expression sank, with confusion and hesitation in his eyes. He looked at Fade and said, "Mr. Chen, the Uchida family will never betray Miss Liza. There must be some misunderstanding. Can you tell me more about what you just said?" Looking at Narumi, Fade's expression changed. It seemed that Narumi really knew nothing about Eichi's betrayal. However, he would not believe it so easily. He briefly told Narumi about what had happened, "I was preparing to leave this place just now. When I passed by the yard, I found.... After listening to Fade's story, Narumi's face darkened. His expression changed when he looked at Eichi. Eichi defended himself, "Dad, what he said isn't true. How could I have rebelled? It was he who did that. It was him who slandered me." Hence, both sides held their own words. For a time, Narumi and the others were confused. They couldn't figure out who was speaking the truth. Kenji, who was earlier filled with righteous indignation and was ready to launch an attack, scratched his head and didn't know what to do at all. Fade snorted coldly and said, "It's actually very easy to find out who is the one telling the truth and who is hiding it. "What's your plan, Mr. Chen?" Narumi asked in a low voice. Fade looked at Liza, who was unconscious, and said, "Miss Liza has passed out, and I can wake her up. As long as she wakes up, she can explain the situation, and then we will know who is right and who is wrong" "That's a good ideal!" Kenji immediately nodded. Eichi 's face changed instantly and he said in a hurry, "No, we can't do that. Don't be fooled by him. He did the exact same thing to Miss Liza to put her in a coma. What's more, he's also a doctor. If he gets close to Miss Liza, who knows whether he will play tricks and harm her." "This, this is also possible. If he poisons... Kenji nodded again and again. At the thought of the death of the Master Gushiken and Yoshiya with poison, the expressions on their faces couldn't help alternating. The situation seemed to have come to a deadlock once again. It was impossible to exactly tell who was saying the truth. At that moment, Fade looked at Narumi and he was somewhat convinced that the Uchida family did not betray Liza. At least, Narumi didn't know about this matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to be in a dilemma for so long and could have just taken action at once. After all, it wouldn't do him any good to delay.
Chapter 1684 While thinking of that, Fade stepped forward and said, "Narumi, I believe that you didn't rebel, but it is a fact that your son, Eichi, has rebelled. The truth will be revealed once Liza wakes up. Upon hearing him, Narumi's expression changed, but he was still somewhat hesitant. As for Eichi, his face darkened, and he said, "Dad, don't be fooled by him. He's going to do something to you. Don't let him get close to you!" The guards brought along by Kenji and Narumi instantly became vigilant. They rapidly took out their weapons and guarded Narumi. Fade sneered and shook his head disdainfully, saying, "It's ridiculous. If I really turned against you, do you think you can stop me with your ability?" While speaking, he shifted his body and rushed directly towards the guards, making the first move. Such a situation shocked Kenji and he shouted, "He's a rebel indeed. Hurry up, take action and catch him." Eichi also shouted hastily, "He's dangerous, Kill him, quick!" However, before these people could shout and fight, Fade had already turned into an agile shadow that meddled into the crowd. After a series of cracking sounds, they all fell to the ground. Even the strongest of them all, Kenji, did not suffer Fade's attack and fell to the ground, motionless. The twenty to thirty people didn't last for more than three minutes when Fade attacked. He was indeed fast. After defeating them, he clapped his hands and looked at Narumi, who seemed surprised, saying, "I have said that if I was to rebel, the whole Hachi Clan, even the entire underground forces of Jopeno together can't bring me down." Fade said this with bravado, and even some arrogance. At that moment, Narumi began to somewhat believe him. This was due to Fade's strength which was indeed beyond his expectations. Even he, who was at the first stage of the Heaven Level, did not dare to say that he could suppress him. Moreover, Fade held back when he attacked Narumi's men. He knocked them down but did not injure them. If Fade had rebelled, there was no need for him to do so. Whilst thinking of that matter, Narumi said, "Mr. Chen, please treat Miss Liza and wake her up as soon as possible. In this case, the truth will soon be revealed. Fade instantly understood what Narumi was thinking about. He should have believed what he said. Therefore, Fade nodded and went to Liza, picked her up, injected her with positive energy, and began to treat her injuries. At the same time, Narumi walked towards Eichi with a sullen face, stared at him, and said in a low voice, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" "Dad, I, I was attacked. Fade is the traitor. You can't be cheated by him! Quickly go to protect Miss Liza. Eichi had no choice but to stick to his story at this point. He could only insist on his stand and never change his words. Upon seeing that, Narumi warned, "When Miss Liza wakes up, the truth will be revealed. If I find out that you're a traitor, I will never go easy on you!" The last warning made Eichi tremble so hard that he almost collapsed to the ground. Liza slowly woke up from the coma under the infusion of Fade's vital force. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes and was a little confused, asking, "Where's this place? What happened to me... Fade held her in his arms and urged her, "Liza, you're still in the woods. Tell us, what happened just now?" "Just now!" Her eyes drifted to and fro. She seemed to have thought of something as her face changed and she said in a low voice, "Just now, after the dinner, I was ready to go back and rest. However, Eichi suddenly came over and asked me to come out with him. He said that he had something urgent to report to me. "I asked him what's going on? He said that there were too many people around and that he was embarrassed to say it out loud. He told me to come with him to the backyard, then he would tell me." "Hence, I came to the woods with him. I asked him what was happening, but he didn't answer me. He attacked me instead and knocked me out." Upon hearing Liza's narration, Fade's face sank. On the other hand, Narumi's face changed dramatically. He turned around to look at Eichi and shouted, "Eichi, what the hell are you doing? If you don't have a proper explanation, I'll kill you!" Kenji and the others who were gradually waking up got up and slowly surrounded them. "Mr. Eichi, why did you attack Miss Liza? Do you have any difficulties?" It seemed to be difficult for Kenji to accept the fact that Eichi had betrayed Liza. Eichi lowered his head. His facial expression kept changing and his lips moved as if he had something to say. However, when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything at all. "Tell me! What's going on?" Narumi roared angrily Eichi shivered, he then lifted his head and knelt down in front of Narumi, crying, "Dad, I'm wrong, I really know that I'm wrong. I was deceived, so I lost my mind. Upon hearing that, Narumi's expression eased a little, but he still snapped, "You've been deceived. What's happening? Tell me quickly." "Yes, that's right. A few months ago, Taira came to me. He promised me along with some conditions, saying that as long as I did him a favour, I will be able to garner benefits from him. At the same time, he guaranteed the Uchida family's status in the Hachi Clan." "As you all know, the power of the Akao family has always been stronger than ours. I was worried that if Miss Liza fails, the Uchida family will come to a downfall. That's why I was naive and was deceived by him, so... When Kenji heard that, he became agitated, "Mr. Eichi, why are you so naive? You've been deceived by Taira who only knows how to talk glibly!" "I, I acted hastily for a moment. I know that I'm wrong, and I won't dare do it again. Liza, Dad, I beg you to forgive me just once!" Eichi cried while kowtowing and begging for mercy. Upon hearing that, Narumi's face clouded over. His expression was solemn and he was struggling. Liza was soft-hearted. Looking at him, she said, "Master Uchida, since Eichi knows that he was wrong, why don't we give him another chance, we... However, before she could finish her words, Fade turned his head and whispered a few words in Liza's ear. Her expression changed. He spoke in a low voice, "Betrayal means betrayal. No matter what reason you have, it can't change the fact that you've been betrayed. If I remember correctly, according to the rules of the Hachi Clan, those who betrayed the clan must kill themselves." Upon hearing that, Eichi couldn't help trembling and his face was full of fear.
Chapter 1685 Fade continued, "However, you and the Uchida family have contributed greatly to the Hachi Clan. Seeing that you've also been deceived, to not kill yourself can be taken into consideration. Upon hearing that, a hint of joy appeared on Eichi's face. He immediately kowtowed, saying, "I know I've made a mistake. There won't be a next time, absolutely not." "It's just empty talk!" Fade coldly exclaimed, "Since you've made a mistake, you have to pay the price. I think that since you don't have to kill yourself, then you should cut off one of your own arms and legs, destroy your Dantian, and ruin your cultivation as punishment." Upon hearing that, the smile on Eichi's face froze. He stood rooted to ground and could not move. Fade scoffed coldly, "Why, you don't even want to pay such a low price? Then I doubt your sincerity in admitting your mistake. In this case, I'd better kill you." As he spoke, a stream of energy burst out from his fingertips with a sharp light as he walked towards him. Upon seeing that, Eichi hurriedly said, "No, don't kill me. I'm sorry, L... "Since you've admitted your mistake, let's start!" Fade's expression was cold. There was a sudden change of expression on Eichi's face. He held a sword in his hand and raised it up, but he contemplated for a long time. Narumi, who was at the side, saw that. Complicated emotions flashed across his eyes as he stepped out with a solemn look and said coldly, "Let me do it!" Immediately after, with a sound of 'zeng", Narumi pulled out his sword and strode to Eichi's side. When Eichi saw that his father was going to attack him, he couldn't help but cry out, "Dad, I know that was wrong, I... Narumi interrupted him and said in a cold voice, "You have to pay the price for your behavior. Miss Liza has already been very forgiving!" As he spoke, Narumi held the sword tightly and was about to slash at Eichi's arm. However, at that moment, Eichi shouted, "Dad, wait a minute!" "What else do you want to say?" Narumi's movements stopped and he looked at him. Eichi looked up at his father and said, "Dad, I know that I deserve it, but I have one last sentence for you." "Spit it out!" Narumi's gaze wavered and his hands holding the sword trembled gently. Eichi stood up from the ground, walked slowly towards Narumi, and said, "Dad, I let you down, I shouldn't..." Looking at his son, who was lowering his head and looking guilty, Narumi couldn't help sighing in his heart as he said, "It's not too late for you to admit your mistake. In the future, you should live a good life alone after leaving the Hachi Clan. In his opinion, it was already a rare thing for Eichi to be able to save his life since he had made such a big mistake. However, just as Narumi had finished speaking, Eichi, who was coming up to him, suddenly sped up and stabbed him with the sword Narumi did not expect such a thing to happen at all and he had his guard down. His stomach was stabbed by Eichi all of a sudden, and blood oozed out. "What, what are you doing.... Narumi looked at Eichi, shocked, and his face was full of disbelief. Kenji, Liza, and the others were also shocked by the scene. "Master Uchida!" "Eichi, what are you doing?!" "Master Uchida!" In the midst of all the shouting, Eichi, who just had his head bowed with a guilty look, now had a ferocious expression on his face as he grabbed the sword from Narumi hand's and held it to his throat. Then, he looked at Liza and threatened her, "Let me go, or I'll kill Narumi." Upon hearing that, everyone was even more dumbstruck. Kenji couldn't help shouting, "Eichi, are you crazy? That's your father. You want to kill him." At that moment, Eichi's eyes were blood red and he seemed to have gone insane, shouting, "From the moment he wanted to slash me, I stopped treating him as my father." *The loving Miss Liza, aren't you a kind-hearted lady? Narumi is your most loyal subordinate. Will you just watch him die? If he dies, I'm afraid that you won't be able to hold the position of the President of the Hachi Clan for long!" He shouted. Liza, who was shocked by the scene in front of her, had yet to come back to her senses. For a moment, her expression was gloomy and she glared at Eichi, saying, "Eichi, do you know what you're doing? You're killing your father. You're gonna be struck by lightning." Upon hearing that, he laughed with a ferocious look on his face, "Killing my father? I'm about to die. I won't care so much." After overcoming the initial shock, Narumi, who had been held hostage, slowly calmed down and said, "Miss Liza is already very forgiving. She forgave you and gave you a way out. Why do you have to..." Elchi, who seemed mad, shouted, "Why do you have to? You want to slash off my arm and leg, destroy my cultivation. What's the difference between that and killing me?" "Eichi, you're too greedy. You shouldn't have done this!" Narumi shouted. Eichi's face was full of madness as he scoffed, "Greedy? I'm not greedy, but ambitious, and it's the driving force that pushes me forward. "Narumi, I really don't understand. You're similar to Kento. You've been with that old man, Master Gushiken, for decades, and you're even more experienced than him. Why are you so miserable?" "Kento grew up independently and became a hero, but you're still working as a henchman for her, humbly being ordered by a woman. Tairo is a prince who can command the wind and rain, but I'm the son of a lapdog who will only receive lessons from others. Haha, is this greed? In my opinion, it's stupidity." "It's because Narumi, you're too stupid. In my opinion, your so-called loyalty is not worth mentioning" "How dare you! You're not allowed to insult Master Gushiken at will!" Upon hearing the words, Narumi couldn't help but yell, "I was promoted by Master Gushiken. I can't betray him!" Eichi didn't care. He sneered and said, "Master Gushiken? Haha, he's just an old fool. He was poisoned to death by the people around him, and he didn't even know who the murderer was until he died. What a joke." "As for the promotion, it's even more ridiculous. After all these years, how much has our Uchida family sacrificed for the Hachi Clan, and how long have we been lapdogs? Why can't we be independent and be our own boss?" "You, Narumi, are not ambitious. I, Eichi, am," he growled. Narumi turned his head, looked at his mad son and shook his head. There was a trace of frustration in his eyes and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything in the end.
Chapter 1686 Eichi, who had vented his anger, glared at Liza with his scarlet eyes and roared, "Liza, let me go, or else, I'll really kill him!" Her face showed worry and she wanted to order the release of the hostage. However, at that time, Fade stopped her and said coldly, "You don't have to use this to threaten Liza. To be honest, you're not a threat to me. You want to kill your father. Do you think your father can be used as a threatening strategy?" "Moreover, since you've betrayed Liza, I have to doubt your entire Uchida family. I suspect that this is a scene jointly performed by you father and son in order to free yourself." "Thus, if you want to fight, do it now. I don't care about Narumi's life," he said in a cold and indifferent tone. Kenji, who was on the side, heard that, and he seemed to panic. He stepped forward and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, his body was enveloped by Fade's positive energy and he couldn't move at all. Upon hearing that, the expression on Eichi's face couldn't help changing. He then looked at Narumi and smiled sarcastically, saying, "Old man, did you see that? You treat her as your master, but she treats you as an animal. If it is useless, it will be killed!" Narumi's face twitched slightly. He said, "What Miss Liza and Mr. Chen did is right. Our Uchida family is indeed suspicious." After a pause, a hint of sternness showed up in his eyes, as he said, "At this point, I have something to say to Miss Liza!" "Go ahead!" Liza looked at him. He responded, "Miss Liza, Eichi's betrayal is indeed a big mistake from the Uchida family. Yet, I have never had any intention of betraying you." "Now, it's my turn to clean up the mess." With a loud roar, Narumi's aura surged, and the positive energy from a Heaven Level martial artist exploded. The impact directly made Eichi stagger, and he was caught off guard. Then, Narumi lifted his palm, the energy in it swirling with a sharp killing intent. He slapped it directly at Eichi. Eichi had never imagined his father would suddenly attack him in such a situation. In a panic, he instinctively fought back. The sword swished and aimed at Narumi's chest again. For that round, the position of his stab wasn't on the abdomen, but on the chest and heart. Even if Narumi was a Heaven Level martial artist, he'd be in grave danger if he'd been stabbed in the heart. While facing the threat of life, Narumi had no intention to dodge at all. He made a strike and slapped Eichi. At that moment, it was as if the father and son were about to perish together. Such a situation was really unexpected and it made Liza and Kenji clamour. "Master Uchida!" "Master Uchida, don't do that!" In the midst of all the shouting, both of their expressions were decisive and ferocious, and there was no intention of holding back at all. Just when their attacks were about to fall on each other and they were about to die together, Fade, who was by Liza's side, took action. His shadow was in the air. Within a split second, he appeared between Eichi and Narumi. It was as if he had teleported. He slapped on both sides. His two simple slaps were unstoppably strong and powerful. On the left side, his slap hindered Narumi from slapping his son dead; on the right side, his hand directly grabbed onto the sword in Eichi's hand. In an instant, the duo's fierce attack was completely blocked by Fade, and he himself did not suffer any harm. With his right hand slightly exerting force, Fade directly broke the sword in Eichi' s hand. Then, he slapped forward and directly smashed Eichi's legs, making him scream and kneel down on the ground. Immediately after, Fade looked at Narumi and said, "Master Uchida, I'm sorry to have offended you just now." At this moment, Narumi was panting, and he looked at Fade in surprise. Although he was initially very respectful towards Fade, it was only a kind of courtesy for Liza's friend. Then, when the Martial Arts Contest started, Fade took the initiative to help Liza defeat the Blood Ninja from the Akao family. This made Narumi think highly of him, but he didn't attach too much importance to him. In the Hachi Clan, there were many martial artists at his level. Yet, at that moment, Fade took action at a distance. He blocked the duo's attack without much effort. His ability had already surpassed that of Narumi. At that moment, he realized that Fade was definitely a Heaven Level martial arts master, who was even more powerful than himself, who was at the early stage of the Heaven Level. Just as he was surprised, Liza and Kenji had already arrived. They were first concerned about Narumi before looking at Eichi with a complicated gaze. Fade held Liza, who seemed slightly odd and looked at Kenji, saying, "Go and meet the Akao family tomorrow. You need to interrogate Eichi overnight. Find out how he'd betrayed you all and what he had done." The reason why he took action wasn't because he wanted to save Eichi, but to get some information from him. "Yes!" Kenji nodded and waved his hand to take the man down. Narumi's face sank, and he was somewhat depressed at the moment. Seeing that Elchi was taken away, he couldn't help but stagger. Fade understood his feelings so he didn't say anything and let him go back to rest. Afterwards, Fade and Liza returned to the room and he comforted her. As for Kenji, there would be an interrogation result soon. Eichi's betrayal did not happen a long time ago. He had been thinking about it in the past year. It was mainly because of the provocation from the Akao family. which made him very unwilling to bow and give in to others. Others were tyrants, but his father was an old servant. He was unwilling to see Taira show off in front of others while he was being shouted at and ordered around by others. In the end, what made him make up his mind was Liza's rejection of his proposal. At first, he wanted to marry her and take over the presidential position of the Hachi Clan subsequently. However, he did not expect his attentiveness and concern to be completely ignored by her. She did not feel any attraction towards him at all. In such a situation, it made Eichi decide to betray Liza and set up his own clan. As preparation, he had secretly gathered a group of members of the Uchida family, and had also roped in people from the neutral faction. Of course, the Akao family didn't cooperate with him. After all, the two were enemies. Eichi, who had always wanted to be the leader, found it impossible for him to be the sub-leader of the Akao family.
Chapter 1687 According to Eichi's plan, Liza would undoubtedly be defeated during the memorial ceremony. At that time, the Akao family would grow stronger and she would weaken. He would take the opportunity to rise and create an independent clan. He would never be affiliated with the Akao family. However, he did not expect Liza, with the help of Fade, who was invited from a foreign country, to be able to defeat the Akao family and win the final victory. The result put Eichi in a difficult situation. She did not suffer a crushing defeat. On the contrary, she won support, and her power was stabilized and enhanced. If her side was really powerful and they had finally roped in the Akao family, Narumi might still suppress himself and continue to be a henchman. He would find a chance to seize power again. However, he knew that although the Akao family had been defeated, and they had also agreed to the previous gamble by letting Liza own the Akao family, the core strength of the Akao family did not suffer much losses. It wouldn't be that easy to take over the Akao family the next day. It would be even more likely for the two sides to start a war. Under such circumstances, Eichi, of course, couldn't sit still. He was ready to kill Liza in secret and be the leader, and then, he would gather the forces and fight against the Akao family. Therefore, he lured Liza out and was about to assassinate her. Unfortunately, he happened to run into Fade and the whole thing was ruined by him. After getting all this information through interrogation, Liza no longer showed mercy and sent someone to kill Eichi. Of course, the news was temporarily suppressed. After all, they still had to bring along their people to take over the Akao family the following day and conflicts were inevitable. If news of Elchi's death was exposed at that moment, she was afraid that it would affect unity among their own members. She settled down and it was already late at night. However, Fade did not remain idle. He continued to go out and went to the investigation team. The investigation team stayed in the villa all day long so they didn't know what had happened outside. Judging from all the commotion, they knew that it was not a small matter. When Fade arrived and described the story of the battle between the Akao family and Liza, the group of people couldn't help sighing with different emotions. Fade looked at Filex and the others. He said, "Captain Filex, I have something to discuss with you." Filex said with a gloomy face, "Go ahead!" Fade continued, "Here's the thing. Didn't we investigate the case of Professor Song and find out that it has something to do with Genkiro? Genkiro has been confirmed to ally with the Akao family "Tomorrow, the president of the Hachi Clan, Liza, will bring her own people and take over the Akao family. This is a good opportunity. My idea is that, with this opportunity, we'll go there tomorrow to meet with Genkiro and find out what happened to Professor Song" Hearing this, Cindy immediately nodded and said, "That's a good idea. The Akao family is heavily guarded so we can't break in by ourselves. This time, with the help of Liza from the Hachi Clan, we can take advantage of the situation." Ellert nodded at the same time and said, "It's indeed a good method. Now that the Akao family has been defeated, we must hurry up. Otherwise, when they leave, it will be very difficult to locate and find out where Genkiro is. I agree with Mr. Chen's suggestion." Fade nodded then looked at Filex and asked, "What do you think, Captain Filex?" Filex's expression changed. After hesitating for a while, he spoke, "Is it really okay? The Akao family is more powerful than we thought. Captain Hu and I are both injured. I'm afraid that by the time..." Fade said, "Captain Filex, you can rest assured. I am still confident in my own abilities. Moreover, Liza from the Hachi Clan defeated the Akao family today and their strength has increased. When the time comes, they will hold back most of the powerful masters of the Akao family, and our chances will be greater." While talking about the battle that had been carried out, Fade deliberately did not mention his fight. He completely owed the victory of Liza's side to themselves. Upon hearing that, Filex seemed to be tempted, but he hesitated and said, "This, but I'm still worried about the safety...." Eilert Interrupted, "Filex, don't hesitate anymore at this point. Professor Song's incident is related to national security and safety. We can't delay it any longer." "What's more, we're soldiers, and our task is to serve our country. Even if we die here, as long as we can complete the task, it is worth it." Since that's all there was to say, Filex could not say anything more. He said in a clear voice, "Captain Hu, I understand what you meant. I, Filex Zhao, am not afraid of death. I'm just worried about your safety. "However, since everyone has made up their minds, I agree with all of your decisions. I'm the strongest. Tomorrow, when we meet the Akao family, I'll take the lead. All of you will follow behind me." Eilert smiled upon hearing him and said, "Filex, you're so badly injured. You may not be stronger than me! It's hard to say who will lead the team tomorrow! "No matter how badly injured I am, I'm still stronger than you, Captain Hu!" The two men inside the house began sparring. At that moment, Fade signaled to Cindy. She got up a little bashfully and then went out with him. Filex looked at the two of them and said, "Captain Hu, has Cindy been very close to Fade lately? She went out several times alone." Eilert smiled and said, "Filex, they're all young people. Fade is strong, and Cindy is pretty in terms of looks. There are some things you should have understood. As long as they don't affect our mission, it's okay for young people to be more intimate with each other." "Of course, I just said it casually, Filex laughed. At that moment, Cindy, who went out shyly, came with Fade to a room at the corner of the villa. They checked the room thoroughly, then both of their expressions turned serious. Cindy immediately asked, "Mr. Chen, Captain Filex's matter, what..." He replied in a deep voice, "I'm almost certain that there must be something wrong with Filex. Today, in the arena, I found that someone from the Akao family has been taking the gene-strengthening liquid." "What? Doesn't that mean that Professor Song is really in the Akao family's hands? Captain Filex really committed treason. This... Although she was mentally prepared, she was still surprised when she heard the news.He said in a low voice, "We can confirm what happened tomorrow. By the way, how is Eilert?" She replied, "I've vaguely mentioned Captain Filex to Captain Hu in private. Captain Hu's very cautious and he doesn't want to randomly suspect his own people. However, he's still holding back." "That's enough. I have a plan. Tomorrow, Filex will be exposed," he said.
Chapter 1688 "What's the plan?" Cindy asked hurriedly. "Well, when I'm headed to meet the Akao family tomorrow, I... Then, Fade whispered in her ear and quickly went over his plan. After she finished listening to him, she nodded and said, "I'll secretly inform Captain Hu." "Well, that's a deal. Have a good rest tonight. There will surely be a fight tomorrow." He patted her on the shoulder. The next day, the entire Tosika City was immersed in a tense atmosphere. In the headquarters of the Hachi Clan, Narumi led a group of people to the headquarters of the Akao family located in the southern suburbs of Tosika City. After all the carnival and celebrations the night before, those who were taking a neutral stand and all the other underground forces were much more clear headed at the moment. Although the Akao family lost the match the day before and finally acknowledged that Liza would take over them, there was no evidence of it. If the Akao family was determined to act ignorant, Liza might not have a way to deal with them. After all, the Akao family's biggest loss in the battle was only the Blood Ninja. For a prestigious and huge family like them, they did not suffer much losses. If the previous battle was just a test, then the arrival of Liza that day would be the real battle. For a time, many who chose to turn to her the previous day had their very own intentions at the moment. They followed her from far behind with their own people, obviously ready for the opportunity to take action. Narumi could understand those fence-sitters' thoughts, but he didn't count on them to succeed, so he didn't care about them. That day's focus was obviously the Akao family's actions. If they kept their promise and handed the Akao family over to them sincerely, the matter would be easy to deal with. If they went back on their words, a vicious battle might be inevitable. Thinking of that, even Narumi felt a little nervous. On the contrary, Liza, who was walking beside Fade at that moment, looked relaxed. There was no pre-war apprehension on her face at all. The vast group of people arrived at the manor of the Akao family. At the entrance of the manor, the Akao family had already arranged for the staff members to greet them. When they saw Liza and the others, they were all full of smiles and incomparably enthusiastic, "Our distinguished guests, welcome!" Looking at the large manor, Narumi was slightly hesitant. He looked at Liza with an inquiring expression. It was obvious that it was risky for them to enter the manor at that moment. If someone ambushed them, Narumi and the team wouldn't be able to lead a large group into the manor, and they feared that they would be outmatched. Liza looked at him and she couldn't decide as well, so she shifted her gaze towards Fade. He looked at the manor and said with a smile. "There's nothing to worry about. It's just the manor of the Akao family. It's not a dangerous place. It's not a big deal to go in and have a look." Upon hearing this, Liza nodded, indicating that some of them could go in. Therefore, most of the team members were left outside, and Narumi entered the manor with more than twenty people. It was obvious that those surrounding Narumi were the elites, and their strengths were at least on par with the intermediate stage of Black Level. Of course, Filex, Eilert, and the others from the investigation team had also changed their clothes and hid among those elites at that moment. After entering the manor, the group of people went towards the main villa. Inside the room, Kento sat on the leader's seat in the very center and Taira sat to his left while all the senior leaders of the Akao family were sitting next to him. "The president, Liza, and Mr. Uchida are here. Please take a seat!" Kento said and welcomed everyone. He did say that he welcomed them, but at the moment, his facial expression did not show any trace of him welcoming their presence at all. Such a scene made Narumi's emotions sink and his expression turned solemn. The group of people sat down. Kento waved his hand and ordered, "Serve tea to the guests!" Immediately after, servants came up with delicate tea sets and poured each of them a cup of fragrant tea. However, in such a situation, how could Narumi and the others devour the drinks served by the Akao family at will? They did not take any action. "The tea doesn't suit everyone's appetite? Then I'll get someone to change it." Kento took the initiative to take a sip of the tea and look at everyone as he spoke. Upon hearing that, Narumi uttered in a low voice, "Kento, don't dawdle. You know exactly why we are here today. Hand over your real estates, shops, tea gardens and other properties of the Akao family!" Upon hearing that, the faces of Kento and the others couldn't help but slightly twitch. Obviously, those things were the foundation of the Akao family, and the foundation for them to maintain their large scale family business. Without financial income, no matter how experienced Kento was, it would be hard for them to recruit a group of people to work for them. If Narumi wanted those things, it was equivalent to cutting off the foundation of the Akao family's rising again. Upon hearing that, Kento put down his teacup and asked Narumi, "Why are you in such a hurry, Mr. Uchida?" Narumi replied mercilessly, it's about credibility! Those were what you promised yesterday, Mr. Akao. Now give it to us, and we shall all be at ease. Kento squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Since I've promised, I'll naturally give it to you. But... "But what?" Narumi's eyes narrowed and there was a hint of sternness in them. He knew that things would not go smoothly. Kento smiled and continued, "Mr. Uchida, you don't have to be nervous. I don't have any intention of going back on my words. It's just that the assets of the Akao family are scattered all over different regions, so it'll take some time to sum all of them together. Therefore, I'm not able to give them to you now. "Is that so?" Narumi's eyes turned icy-cold as he said chillily. "Since you don't have the time to sort out the assets in the other regions, you should at least have the time to sort out the local assets of Tosika City! At the very least, it'll be easy to sort out this manor. Upon hearing that, Kento's gaze turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Mr. Uchida, this manor is the old mansion passed down from the previous three generations of our Akao family. It represents the honour of our Akao family. Mr. Uchida and Miss Liza, are you really going to take away everythings from us?" "Kento, you don't have to talk glibly. The Akao family admitted defeat and surrendering everything over was what you promised yesterday. If you hand it over now, it's good for both you and me," Narumi answered coldly. "Mr. Uchida, I didn't say that I won't hand it over. It's just that there are some things that need time to slowly deal with. If Mr. Uchida and Miss Liza are so aggressive, it will only make things difficult for the Akao family!" Kento said. "Aggressive?" Narumi sneered and his expression darkened, "Who's being aggressive? You should know it clearly. Today, you'd better hand everything over, otherwise...
Chapter 1689 "Mr. Uchida, are you threatening me?" Kento snorted coldly and slammed the table. All of a sudden, everyone from the Akao family in the main villa stood up in an imposing manner. Narumi's face sank after seeing that and he shouted in a chilly tone, "Kento, it seems that you're determined to renege on a debt. In that case, don't blame me for being rude." "I only want more time, but Mr. Uchida and Miss Liza are so aggressive. I can't do anything about it!" Kento acted like he was bullied. There were more people from the Akao family gathering in the hall. It was obvious that the Akao family was preparing to start a war. In such a tense atmosphere, Fade stepped out, looked at Kento, and said with a smile, "The Akao family is ready to take action. It seems that the lesson from yesterday was not enough!" When Kento saw him, his face couldn't help but sink, and he seemed vigilant of him. On the other side, Taira couldn't suppress his anger as he pointed at Fade, scolding, "Fade, you brat, do you think you're at the top? Yesterday, you killed the Blood Ninja from the Akao family. Today, I will definitely make you pay the price." As he spoke, he waved his hand and shouted, "Move!" In an instant, with a series of banging sounds, more than a dozen warriors came out in unison and besieged Fade. Those warriors were all in the Black Level. If they all attacked at once, they were particularly strong. Obviously, the Akao family had witnessed Fade's strength the day before, hence on that day, they regarded him as their first target and wanted to kill him first. When Narumi saw the Akao family starting to fight, he bellowed angrily, "Charge!" In the blink of an eye, more than twenty elite guards were brought into the hall. They took out their weapons and faced off against the opponents. At the same time, the sounds of fighting and shouting could also be heard from outside the manor. It was obvious that the troops outside had also started the battle at that moment. "Kill them all!" Seeing that the war was about to begin, Kento no longer put on an act. He shouted and ordered his men to attack. At the same time, he rushed into the crowd and started to besiege them. Kento was a Heaven Level master. As soon as he entered the fight, the guards of the Uchida family immediately felt the pressure doubling. Narumi immediately rushed over and fought with Kento. The others also found their targets and launched the attack. At that time, Fade, who was facing besiegement, snorted coldly. He shifted his body, rushed straight into the encirclement, and knocked all the surrounding warriors down. It took him less than three minutes. The oppressive power surrounding Fade subsided. He then turned his eyes. After he saw Eilert, Cindy, and the others, he sprung and rushed over. With a few slaps, he took all the warriors who were attacking them down. He shouted in a low voice, "Stick to the plan, you guys start to take action. Go into the Akao family and try to find traces of Genkiro and Professor Song." "Alright!" Eilert nodded. With a leap, he rushed into the Akao family manor. Filex, Cindy, and the others followed him in. Fade looked at their backs, and his gaze deepened. At that moment, the inside of the Akao family was in a state of chaos. Every single person was running about. All of them were holding weapons in their hands as they ran in the direction of the main hall. Although Eilert and the others were careful, they would still encounter some opponents. However, the members of the investigation team were all extraordinary, and they were at least Earth Level martial artists. Filex, a martial artist at the early stage of the Heaven Level could still handle the Black Level martial artists with ease, although he hadn't fully recovered yet. The four of them took down more than ten warriors all the way and quickly fled into the deeper region of the Akao family. While they were looking around, Filex suddenly pointed in front and shouted, "Over there!" The remaining three turned their heads and found that a middle-aged warrior was walking toward them with a sword. "It's Genkiro!" Eilert recognized him at first sight and immediately said, "Let's go together. We must catch him and ask about the whereabouts of Professor Song. Then, the few lunged at him with all their might and were fierceful. When Genkiro saw them incoming, he was surprised. Without further ado, he pulled out his sword and met their attack. In the blink of an eye, both sides fought spiritedly. Eilert, who was rushing at the front, paled instantly and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Genkiro was on par with Eilert, with both of them at the peak of the Earth Level. Since Eilert was injured, of course, he wasn't a match for him. "Captain Felix, help me." Eilert couldn't hold on any longer and called out to Filex in a hurry. Filex's gaze drifted over and then he rushed out. Behind him, Cindy and the other person also followed up and fought with Genkiro. Eilert breathed a sigh of relief, rushed out again, and joined in the battle. For a time, all four besieged and attacked Genkiro. Although Genkiro was strong, he was still at a disadvantage in face of the four's attack. He gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, with several more scars appearing on his body. Seeing that Genkiro couldn't hold on any longer, Eilert gritted his teeth and charged fiercely, shouting, "Filex, let's attack together and knock him down. Upon hearing this, Filex glanced sideways at Eilert, but he acted a little slower. At that time, Eilert, who was only halfway through his attack, seemed to have been severely injured. His body fell directly from the air, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Cindy, who was standing off to the side, was about to shout, but her face turned pale. A mouthful of blood spurt out from her mouth and she stumbled slightly. Filex's subordinate was even worse. His face darkened and he fell to the ground right after. Genkiro saw that and a trace of fierceness flashed across his eyes. While holding a sword, he rushed over ferociously and lifted his sword to slash Eilert. Eilert tried his best to resist, and he managed to hinder that move. Looking anxious, he shouted to Filex, "Filex, do it quickly. I can't hold on any longer." At that moment, Filex, who stood on the same spot, did not take any initiative to help. Instead, he struck out energy that pierced into the heart of the subordinate, directly killing him. Upon seeing that, Eilert's expression changed drastically. He shouted sternly. "Filex, what are you doing?" "I'm killing people! Can't you see that?" A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Filex's lips. He continued to walk towards Cindy, and the strength on his fingertips was indiscernible. "Filex Zhao, you are a hidden traitor, and you are a betrayer. Is Professor Song's incident related to you?" Eilert shouted. "Have you only found out now?" Filex smiled maliciously, "But it's too late." "Filex Zhao, you are treasonous. As a member of the Zhao family, you have colluded with the enemy and committed treason. The organization will not let you go, Ellert yelled. He smiled indifferently and shook his head, saying, "Do you think they will know about this? After killing you, I'll go back to my country. The traitorous spy will be you, not me."
Chapter 1690 "You, you..." Eilert was so upset that he spat out another mouthful of blood. His face turned even paler. "Old Hu, we've known each other for a long time. I'll give you a quick death later, Filex said with a smile. The energy in his hand was about to strike Cindy. However, at that moment, Genkiro, who was aside, stopped him, "Filex, wait a minute." "What's wrong?" Filex frowned and looked at him. Genkiro licked his lips and looked at Cindy, smiling as he said, "This little girl is not bad. It's a pity to kill her now. Why don't you let me play with her before killing her?" Upon hearing that, Filex frowned, "Genkiro, it's a big deal. We can't let the news spread. There's no need to take risks for a woman. I'll find you another one later." "I'm afraid it's hard to find another with such attractiveness. Although Genkiro felt regretful, he knew that it was a matter of great importance. He didn't persist but waved his hand and said, "Later, I'll need four women. You'll arrange it for me. Filex frowned slightly, but he still nodded and said, "Don't worry. I won't let you down." He gathered his positive energy once again and prepared to kill Cindy. At the crucial moment, a burst of momentum directly shattered Filex's positive energy and saved her. "Who is it?!" Upon seeing that, Filex could not help but exclaim while his face took on a wary look. A flickering figure appeared beside Cindy. Filex looked closely at Fade "Fade, it's you? Then, he thought of something and wanted to explain, 'Fade, Eilert, and Cindy have betrayed you. Come and help..." Meanwhile, Fade looked at Filex as if he was looking at a fool, saying coldly. "Captain Filex, you should know who's the one who has betrayed!" Cindy and Eilert, whose faces were pale and looked like they had been poisoned just a moment ago, stood up with their faces full of anger. "You're alright. How could... Filex was shocked by such a situation. Soon, he came to his senses and his face sank, "You're all in it together!" "Filex, surrender immediately and you'll come back with me to be investigated by the organization, Ellert shouted. Filex sneered, "Investigation from the organization! What a joke. Do you really think that you'll win? This is Jopeno, which belongs to the Akao family. Do you think you can escape?" Fade said coldly, "You'll soon find out whether we can get out of here or not." While speaking, he shot out energy at random and knocked down all the surrounding warriors who were attacking him. Such an ability shocked Genkiro and his face showed an odd expression, "He's so powerful!" Filex gritted his teeth and said, "The master of the Akao family still has a trump card. As long as we can hold on for a while, we'll be fine." As they spoke, the two of them launched their attacks. It had to be said that the power struck out by Felix and Genkiro, one who was at the beginner stage of the Heaven Level, and the other was at the peak of the Earth Level, was remarkable. However, it was a pity that their opponent was Fade. Their brutal attack was completely nothing in Fade's eyes. In less than ten seconds, the two men were suppressed by Fade, and they could only passively resist his attack. They felt increasing pressure that was acting upon them, and blood was constantly spurting out of their mouths. It was almost impossible for them to hold on. At the pivotal moment, a wooden wall in the manor room was smashed apart with a "boom" sound. With Liza under the protection of a group of guards, Narumi rushed out. Behind them, Kento, who was leading a group of people, chased after them. Such a situation surprised Fade, and he couldn't help but shout, "Mr. Uchida, what happened?" Not long ago, Fade alone had killed more than twenty martial artists in the hall. He had helped them ease the tension before arriving at Cindy's side to solve the predicament. However, looking at the present situation, Narumi and the members were being hunted down by others, and they seemed to be at a disadvantage. Narumi protected Liza while resisting the opponents' attack as he explained to Fade, "Kento invited a helper. He's at the early stage of the Heaven Level." Upon hearing that, Fade's gaze sank. He looked at Kento's side and saw a Jopeno monk in black monk costume. He seemed kind, but he was not afraid to make a move. Slapping out, he hit Narumi on the chest, making him spit out a mouthful of blood. The monk's realm was the same as that of Narumi's, but in terms of ability and combating power, he was definitely stronger than him. In the face of the siege of two Heaven Level masters, it was no wonder that Narumi couldn't hold on and began to flee with Liza. Filex and Genkiro, who had been under great pressure, saw such a situation. They were overjoyed and hurriedly retreated in Kento's direction. For a moment, both sides stood still and were ready to confront each other. In terms of number of men, Fade only had three members in the investigation team, including Narumi, Liza, and the remaining seven or eight elite guards; there were less than fifteen people in total. On the Akao family's side, they had circled and surrounded the area. With a casual glance, there were definitely more than a hundred people. In terms of high-end combat strength, Fade and Narumi were the main contributors, including the injured Ellert, who was at the peak of the Earth Level. As for the Akao family, the Heaven Level experts were Kento, Filex, and the black-robed monk. At the peak of the Earth Level, there were five or six people, such as Genkiro, and so on. One could easily see that the Akao family's side was overwhelmed with fighting capacity, while Fade's team seemed doomed. Kento also thought so at the moment. Laughing, he said, "Narumi, now, you guys have no way out. If you surrender, I can consider letting you live. Narumi gnashed his teeth and said with hatred, "It's impossible for me to surrender." "Is that so? Then that's a pity. I can only kill you, and let you go to hell to accompany your son, Kento said with a smile. Upon hearing the word "son", Narumi's face changed, "Eichi, you..." When Kento saw that, he laughed out loud, "Do you think I don't know that your silly son built his own clan? It was I who sent someone to deal with him. Otherwise, do you think he can be so shrewd?" "You! Kento, I'll fight you to death, Narumi was enraged. He gritted his teeth and was about to rush up to fight Kento. However, before he could move, he was pulled back by Fade, who was beside him. Fade looked all of them opposite him and said coldly, 'Since you're all in cahoots, it means that Professor Song's case has something to do with you all."
Chapter 1691 The corner of Kento's mouth was raised slightly as he remarked, 'So what if it has something to do with us? You're already on the verge of death. How can you interfere in this matter?" "Huh!" Fade sneered. He looked at Kento and shook his head. "It seems that you really don't know me well!" "Do you really think that you will win with just a few people?" Fade shouted coldly as he took a step forward. His aura burst out and enveloped Kento and the rest of them. Feeling this majestic momentum, Kento's face quickly fell as he asked, "This boy is a Heaven Level master?" Filex nodded and answered, "Yes. He is a young martial arts master in our country' Haruo, the black-robed monk replied coldly, "So what if he's a Heaven Level master? He's already been defeated." Just then, Fade walked towards them, and the great momentum of his body was getting nearer, adding more pressure onto Kento. "How could his aura be so powerful!" Kento was once again shocked. Filex's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and added, "This boy once killed two early stage of Heaven Level martial artist. "What? He killed two people? Wouldn't that mean that his strength has already reached the middle stage of the Heaven Level?" Kento fell into a shock. Even Haruo's expression was grim. However, he proceeded to reply firmly, "So what? I didn't lose when I faced an ordinary Middle-stage Heaven Level martial artist. With you two here, he's no match for us." These words gave Filex and Kento a lot of courage. They also exposed the aura of their positive energy, and launched an attack against Fade. In the blink of an eye, the energy of four Heaven Level martial artists clashed with each other in the Akao family manor. The majestic aura spread out and brought down some of the buildings.. Due to the four people's attack, it collapsed in half. When Kento saw this, his heart ached. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "We can't drag this on anymore. Kill him!" Haruo's expression was solemn as he let out a heavy snort. His robe fluttered without the presence of the wind, and the aura of his positive energy burst out and attacked Fade. This time, he used his full strength. Filex and Kento didn't hold back. Their positive energy burst out from within their bodies and attacked Fade from both sides. This violent energy broke out and knocked down another part of the building in the manor. Narumi was protecting Liza and the others, while Ellert protected Cindy. They kept retreating, afraid that they would be impacted by the aftershocks of the attack. Liza and Cindy's faces were filled with worry as they glanced at the chaos not far away. "Mr. Chen will be fine, right?" "Can he really win?" At this moment, in the middle of the battle, Fade felt that Liza and the others had retreated far away. A cold smile played on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the three people who were besieging him and said, "I've played with you for so long, and it's almost time. I'm going to fight back. "What an arrogant brat!" Haruo cried out. A violent energy once again came surging over, with the momentum to kill. At this moment, when faced with his attack, Fade had a fearless smile on his face. He waved his hand, and a blast of positive energy burst out. With a rumble, it blocked Haruo's energy and shattered it. "How could it be? My attack... Haruo was stunned. He had not expected that his desperate attack had been broken by Fade easily. Without waiting for him to come back to his senses, Fade continued with his attack. He struck out with a burst of energy casually, and with a whoosh, he whizzed over. The attack was so fast that Haruo could not dodge it at all, and he was hit right in the chest. He grunted as he spat out a mouthful of blood, falling onto the ground. Haruo, who was the strongest among the three, had been defeated by Fade with one single blow. Such a situation greatly shocked Kento and made his heart tremble. He couldn't help but shout, "Filex, what's wrong with you? How could reality be so different from the information that you provided? How could you not inform us earlier that this brat was so powerful!" Filex had estimated that Fade's strength was probably at the middle stage of the Heaven Level. He thought that he had overestimated it. However, he did not expect that he had underestimated him instead.. Of course, this was because he didn't know that Fade had defeated a Late Stage Heaven Level martial artist from the hidden family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to fight Fade in such a situation. However, it was too late. Even if he didn't want to fight, he had no other choice. Filex and Kento gritted their teeth and used all their strength. They broke out all their energy and attacked Fade desperately. Unfortunately, their attacks were not as powerful as Haruo's attacks. Even if they managed to hit Fade, they could not hurt him at all. On the other hand, Fade exerted some energy and left several bloody holes in Filex and Kento's body instantly. After ten seconds, Kento and Filex had completely lost their will to fight. They fell to the ground and could no longer move. Hearing the noisy fighting sounds around the manor, Fade stepped forward and lifted up Kento in the air with his right hand. With a light leap, his body jumped higher than ten meters. He stood at the highest point of the building of the Akao family and shouted in a loud voice, "Kento has been defeated!" As he shouted, everyone's attention was drawn to him. When they saw Kento in Fade's hand, the members of the Akao family, who were still resisting, lost their will to fight immediately. They either turned around and fled, or dropped their weapons and surrendered. The battle was over. Liza's people had won a complete victory and controlled the manor of the Akao family. Narumu and Liza would handle the rest of the affairs of Hachi Clan. Therefore, Fade focused on Professor Song's affairs. He carried the three people who had lost their fighting power, found a room in the Akao family, and threw them inside. Eilert and Cindy rushed over and shook their heads at Fade, saying, "We have searched the entire Akao family manor. Professor Song is not here." He snorted coldly and jumped out. After a while, he brought Genkiro back. After carrying Genkiro into the room, Fade looked at the three people on the ground and interrogated them with a cold face. "Where is Professor Song?" No one answered him. Fade's face fell. He struck Genkiro with his palm, and instantly destroyed one of his arms. He swept his gaze over the few people and shouted coldly. "Does anyone have anything to say now?"
Chapter 1692 Genkiro rolled on the ground in pain with tears and snot streaming down his face. He said quickly, "I'll tell you. I'll tell you." "Say it!" Fade shouted. "When Professor Song first arrived in Osko City, I sent someone to pick him up." Genkiro replied. "But I only did that after receiving an order from Kento. Moreover, Professor Song didn't stay with me. He left and went to Tosika City. As for the rest, I don't know." "You really don't?" Fade shouted coldly. "Yes, I'm telling the truth, Genkiro answered immediately. Fade looked at Kento and asked coldly, "Tell me, what happened to Professor Song? Where is he now?" "Well, I..." Kento's eyes flickered. Fade shot a burst of energy into Kento's abdomen unceremoniously, ruining his cultivation. If you don't answer me, you will die. You don't have the luxury of hesitating now." "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Kento endured the pain and answered in a hurry, "In fact, I am not the mastermind behind the matter of Professor Song. It was the people from Mokao Temple who ordered me to do it. They just informed me and asked me to send someone to pick up Professor Song. After he arrived here, he was taken to Mokao Temple the next day." "Mokao Temple?" Fade repeated. Kento glanced at Haruo beside him before he continued, "Mokao Temple is a secret martial arts clan of Jopeno. It has gathered the strongest group of martial artists in Jopeno. They are very mysterious, and outsiders have no idea of their whereabouts. "He is the person sent by Mokao Temple to assist me." While speaking, Kento glanced at Haruo. Fade turned his gaze to Haruo and asked coldly, "Tell me, what's the situation with Mokao Temple? What's your purpose in attacking Professor Song?" Haruo laid on the ground, not saying a word. "How dare you!" Seeing this, Fade gathered a burst of positive energy from his palm and struck the left arm of Haruo, shattering it. However, Haruo only grunted and remained silent. Seeing this, Fade frowned. He seemed to realize something. He leaned over. grabbed the chin of Haruo, and opened his mouth. Fade saw that his mouth was a bloody mess; his tongue had been bitten to pieces. He couldn't speak at all. In an instant, Fade's gaze turned sharp as he regarded him coldly. While resisting the intention of killing him, his eyes fell on Filex and asked in a cold voice, "It's your turn! Tell me, why did you commit treason? What do you, Filex, know about Professor Song?" "I-I don't know anything!" Filex grinned. He spat out a mouthful of black blood, tilted his body and fell to the ground, and his breath stopped. Seeing this, Fade couldn't help but be furious, and his expression quickly fell. After calming down for a few minutes, Fade suppressed the anger in his heart.. He instructed Eilert and Cindy, "You should report to the country about Filex's rebellion. Make them prepare for a thorough investigation." "Next, I'm going to Mokao Temple. You don't have to follow me." Eilert wanted to say something, however, when the words came to his lips, he just nodded and answered, "Okay!" Cindy stared at Fade with a concerned look and reminded, "Be careful." "Don't worry. They are just a few Jopeno martial artists. They can't hurt me," Fade replied confidently. He shot out two streams of strength and killed both Kento and Genkiro. He left and carried Haruo with him. In the afternoon, Fade appeared in a quiet jungle. His body leaped gently, jumped to the top of a large tree, and looked far into the distance. He saw a temple built halfway up the mountain soon to the left. "Is that it?" Fade pointed in the direction of the temple. He patted Haruo in his hand. At this moment, Haruo was covered in blood, and his breath was weak. He seemed like he would die at any time. He was no longer as determined as before. When faced with Fade's inquiry, he only glanced at him and nodded obediently. Seeing this, Fade jumped from the top of the tree, and his figure jumped in the forest quickly, heading for the temple halfway up the mountain. A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the gate of the temple. This temple was built against the mountain wall. It was not very large, and the buildings were a little old and rundown. However, at this moment, the two monks standing at the gate of the temple were sweeping the floor with brooms in their hands. Fade narrowed his eyes, instantly confirming that this was indeed the place that he was looking for. That was because the two young monks who swept the floor were actually Earth Level martial artists. Not to mention the ordinary temples, even the Heaven Level clans would not be so extravagant. It looked like Mokao Temple was indeed the place where the elite martial artists of Jopeno gathered. As for the purpose of their gathering here, Fade would have to go in and investigate. Without any fear, he carried Haruo and strode towards the temple. The two young monks who were sweeping the floor stopped them with a smile on their faces. They bowed to Fade and said politely, "Sir, please stop. The temple is not open to the public. Please return." As soon as he opened his mouth, these two people turned out to be well spoken countrymen, which made Fade even more surprised. At the same time, he was further convinced that Mokao Temple was not an ordinary place. "I am a guest invited by Mokao Temple. Ask him if you don't believe me." While speaking, Fade showed Haruo in his hands. As soon as the two young monks saw Haruo, they were shocked and their expressions changed dramatically in an instant. "Master Haruo." "What's wrong with you, Master Haruo?" Instead of answering, Fade interrupted them coldly, "Can I enter now?" The two young monks glared fiercely at him, their eyes filled with anger. The positive energy in their bodies began to gather, as if they were about to launch an attack. When Fade saw this, he snorted coldly, and his eyes were filled with a sharp chill. Just as the two sides were about to strike, a deep middle-aged man's voice came from the temple. "Laddie, Hardey, you can leave." When the two young monks heard the voice, they turned to look and saluted respectfully. "Master Jaegar!" "You may leave!" The monk called Jaegar, dressed in a black robe, was about the same size as the monk in Fade's arms. Jaegar looked to be around fifty years old. He had a smile on his lips and a kind look on his face. However, Fade could sense the aura fluctuations of the Heaven Level emanating from him, and he did not believe that Jaegar was kind hearted. After the two little monks left, Jaegar glanced at Haruo in Fade's arms, and then at Fade. He smiled as he greeted, "Since you're a guest invited by Haruo, please come in!"
Chapter 1693 Fade was a little surprised by Jaegar's calmness. However, he did not show any fear as he carried Haruo into Mokao Temple with him. There were more than a dozen monks in the temple. When they saw Fade entering with Haruo, they couldn't help but stop their movements, and their faces were clouded with anger, as if they wanted to rush up and attack him. Fade breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. This was the normal reaction that he had expected. On the other hand, Jaeger's friendliness and calmness was out of place. Ignoring the hatred in their eyes, Fade entered the hall. The main hall was not large. In the center of the hall, there was a Buddha statue that was about five or six meters tall. However, it was not the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni in most temples, nor was it the Buddha statue familiar to Fade, such as Maitreya. Instead, it was a statue of Buddha, whose body was covered in red, and its eyes were full of anger and stained with blood. The Buddha statue was not a Buddha, but a kind of demon from hell. Fade couldn't help but stare at the statue. All of a sudden, he felt dizzy and nauseous. He was shocked, and his eyes were a little fierce. "Is this poison, or some other attack?" There was no expression on his face. He circulated his positive energy immediately and checked his body to make sure that he had not been poisoned. At this moment, the feeling of dizziness in his mind grew even more prominent. However, he wasn't in a hurry to say anything. Instead, he continued to follow after Jaegar. Jaegar walked towards the devil-like Buddha statue and stopped. He sat down in front of a small table before the Buddha statue and motioned for Fade to sit down. "Mr. Chen, please sit." Fade raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the red Buddha statue beside him, and replied, "Mokao Temple is indeed not ordinary, serving guests in front of the Buddha statue in the hall. Jaegar smiled. He picked up a long and thin incense, rubbed it gently, and lit it. Then, he inserted it into the incense burner. He looked at Fade and answered with a smile. "The Teachings of Buddhism are endless, and the cultivation is undefined. We are martial artists, so there is no need to follow the rules of ordinary people. Moreover, cultivating in front of the Buddha statue is also a kind of exercise for one's mind and spirit. "Master Jaegar's words do make sense, Fade nodded his head and agreed. At this time, Jaegar picked up a small pot made from yellow mud, poured a cup of tea for Fade, and also a cup for himself. He took the initiative to take a sip of his tea as he smiled. "There are no expensive things for guests, only some wild tea from this temple. Please forgive us, Mr. Chen." Fade looked at Jaegar who took another sip of tea. He picked up the teacup and took a light sniff. After identifying it, he realized that it wasn't poisoned. Thus, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was bland yet slightly fragrant, but it tasted good. Seeing this, the smile on Jaegar's face grew wider, and he began to talk with Fade about Buddhism. He was not in a hurry at all, not even the slightest bit anxious. Jaegar didn't even spare Haruo, who was dying, another glance when Fade placed him beside them casually Fade chatted with the Jaegar from time to time, observing his expression constantly, trying to figure out what his purpose was, and why he was being so polite to him. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The small teapot had already been filled twice. The long and thin sandalwood incense had been changed twice. The hall was quiet. There was only the sound of two people chatting. The faint sandalwood smoke in the air mixed with the tea fragrance. It smelled refreshing. Fade turned his head and looked at the red Buddha statue that was surrounded by the smoke. The Buddha statue, which previously did not appear too tall, seemed to be much bigger amidst the clouds of smoke. Its ferocious expression also became bright red, as if the whole Buddha statue had come alive. He immediately grew alert. He could not help but continued staring at the Buddha statue. As soon as he saw it, he was shocked. When he stared into the eyes of the Buddha statue, his head seemed to have been hit by an invisible force. He felt dizzy, and his body couldn't help but tremble. However, he knew that his body hadn't been harmed in the slightest. Jaeger, who was sitting across from him, continued to drink his tea, his expression remaining unchanged. Fade shook his head in confusion. He raised his head carefully again and swept his gaze over the Buddha statue. As a result, when his gaze came into contact with the Buddha statue's eyes again, the feeling of being heavily hit in the head became more obvious. He actually felt a little nauseous. Not to mention a martial artist like Fade, even a Yellow Level martial artist wouldn't have such a feeling of vomiting and fainting when they hadn't been harmed in the slightest. At this time, Fade was sure that something was wrong. He had been attacked. He had confirmed that it was not an attack like poisoning. Coupled with the dizzy feeling in his head, he thought of something and his heart tightened suddenly. "It's a mental attack. My mind has been attacked. A martial artist focused on training their body and vitality. A normal attack was also a bombardment of the body. Even if he was strong in the late stage, cultivated the aura of positive energy, and was able to release it to harm others, it was still considered an attack to his own body. In terms of mental state, martial artists' cultivation was much weaker. In other words, they weren't able to cultivate, thus, they didn't know much about it. Even the martial artists in the Heaven Level were not much stronger ordinary people in terms of spirit. They were just a little more strong-willed. than the Therefore, if someone could launch a mental attack on a martial artist, it would be a rare means of attack. It would not be so difficult for the weak to defeat the strong. When Fade was still on Tianwu Mountain, he had asked the old fogey if he had any mental cultivation methods. As a result, even a top-level expert like the old fogey kicked Fade away. He said that if there was a way to cultivate mental attack, he would definitely use it first. When Fade learned about the situation, he felt incomparably regretful. However, at the same time, he understood that there were very few methods to cultivate mental attacks. It could even be said that there were none. Under these circumstances, it didn't have much of an impact on him.
Chapter 1694 After all, things that were difficult to obtain by the old fogey were even more difficult for others to obtain. Thus, there were very few people who cultivated the mental attack method. It was also very difficult to attack Fade, and he did not have to worry about this at all. Since he had left the mountain, he had encountered numerous martial artists, both strong and weak. However, he had never met any martial artist who cultivated their mental power. Therefore, he had never cared about these things. Only then did he realize that this was a mental attack when his head was dizzy. He hadn't been poisoned, and Jaegar opposite him didn't make a move either. After entering the main hall, Fade felt dizzy after he saw the Buddha statue, and Jaegar had arranged for him to sit in front of the Buddha statue to chat with him deliberately. As well as the burning sandalwood and the fragrant tea, these were all the aids to the mental attack. Jaegar had realised his true strength and knew that he, who was at the middle stage of the Heaven Level, would not be Fade's opponent if he resisted. Therefore, after he saw him, he remained calm. He did not even care about Haruo. He even entertained Fade warmly. Perhaps, he wanted to take this opportunity to launch a mental attack unconsciously to weaken Fade's strength. If he continued to do this secretly, Fade's mind would be affected, and he might even faint in the end. At that time, Jaegar would be able to take action, control him, and even kill him. As he thought of this, Fade couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart as he looked at Jaegar opposite him with a cold expression. He had still thought that Jaegar was calm and friendly. He hadn't thought that he had this sneaky trick up his sleeve. On second thought, he felt that it was natural. Fade injured Haruo and was involved in the matter of Professor Song. How could Jaegar be nice to him? Thinking of this, he started thinking about how to deal with it. Should he make his move immediately and defeat Jaegar before he was affected by his attack? Or would it be better to continue, pretending to suffer the mental attack and find out his conspiracy? It should be known that even the old fogey did not have methods for mental cultivation or attack. If Fade could take the opportunity to get relevant things, he would gain a lot. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be tempted. However, it was just his thoughts. If he wanted to carry out his plan, he had to think of a way to take on the mental attack. Otherwise, he would not be pretending to faint, but would actually really pass out by then. He did not have much experience in resisting mental attacks, he could only rely on his guesses. A martial artist cultivated his positive energy and vitality through his meridians and these finally gathered at his dantian abdomen. If he could cultivate his mind, perhaps there should also be a place to gather it, and it was probably in his mind. As he strategized internally, he slowly began to make his move. He collected his thoughts and began to follow the dizzying sensation and searched in his head. After all, if it was really a mental attack, just like how a martial artist attacked the opponent's dantian abdomen, the mental attack would also attack the place where he stored his energy. Following these thoughts, it didn't take long for Fade to find a place in his mind. The feeling of dizziness in his head seemed to all hit this spot. In his mind, he imagined that it was a solid object like a peach kernel. The invisible dizziness rushed to the tiny solid object quietly. The attacking power wasn't that strong. Under normal circumstances, if one was attacked once or twice, they wouldn't even be able to detect it at all. Even if they did, they wouldn't care; it wouldn't cause too much of an effect. However, Fade had stayed by the statue a long period of time. As weak mental attacks accumulated, it would definitely have an impact on him. "That tiny solid core should be the place where the human body's spirit is stored. It's similar to the dantian that stores positive energy. The opponent's spirit is attacking my tiny core. Next, it's time to defend, Fade pondered. However, he didn't know how to defend himself. At this moment, he could only try little by little according to his guesses. If his dantian was attacked by the external positive energy, the most instinctive reaction of a martial artist would probably be to activate his positive energy to fight against his opponent. Based on this kind of deduction, if a tiny core was under mental attack, it should be able to activate one's willpower to resist an external mental attack. However, Fade had never cultivated mental power, and he didn't know the method of cultivation. At this moment, he didn't know if there was any mental power in his tiny core that could resist external attacks. Regardless of whether he had it or not, he wanted to give it a try. He concentrated, thinking about the tiny core in his brain silently, his attention was extremely concentrated. It was as if he had turned into a visible energy, extending into his mind, touching his own tiny mental core lightly. As he touched it, his mental core trembled slightly, and a wave of water rippled out. As the ripples spread out, the tiny and weak mental energy attacks were crushed instantly and dissipated, leaving no traces. At this time, Fade could clearly feel that the feeling of dizziness was disappearing; he was awake in an instant. "It's working!" He was overjoyed. However, he did not show it. Instead, he glanced at Jaegar who was smiling in front of him, and made up his mind. Since he had a way to defend against his mental attacks, then his plan of faking a faint could be carried out. Thinking of this, the clarity in his eyes flashed. He continued to chat with Jaegar on the opposite side, pretending to be dizzy. While chatting, Fade had no scruples at all. He took large gulps of the tea and absorbed large mouthfuls of sandalwood smoke. About a quarter of an hour later, he patted his head and looked at Jaegar, and asked, "What's going on? Your hospitality is so warm that I'm so relaxed, that I even feel a little sleepy." When Jaegar heard this, his eyes showed a hint of pleasant surprise. However, he held himself back as he answered with a smile, "Mr. Chen, if you're sleepy, you can rest in Mokao Temple. "I'll have to trouble you, Master Jaegar!" Fade laughed as he stood up. His body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground. Jaegar stood up immediately to support him. "Be careful, Mr. Chen." Fade's eyes rolled at that moment. He looked sleepy, and leaned on Jaegar suddenly. Then, he fell asleep, even letting out a soft snore.
Chapter 1695 When Jaegar saw this, he called out to Fade gently and patted him a few times. Seeing that he did not react, Jaegar was certain that he had been struck, and that he had passed out. The warm smile on Jaegar's face was instantly replaced with a sinister expression. He threw Fade onto the ground as he murmured, "You d*mned brat, how dare you hurt Haruo. You will pay the price for your actions." As he spoke, he picked up Haruo, who had been left alone previously, and immediately sent for people to treat him. At the same time, several black shadows appeared in the main hall of the temple. A few of them were dressed in black robes that were similar to Jaegar's. They were probably monks from Mokao Temple, and their strengths were all around the early stage of the Heaven Level. In addition, there were two tall foreigners, which made Fade, who had pretended to faint, a little surprised. The two tall, golden-haired foreigners were very familiar with Jaegar and the others. They spoke in English quickly, and then their gazes fell on Fade. "How should we deal with him?" A monk pointed at Fade and asked. Another monk had a resentful look on his face as he responded,"Let's just kill him. He dared to hurt Haruo." Jaegar's gazes were also filled with killing intent as he looked at Fade. One of the two blonde foreigners stepped forward and interrupted him, Don't be rash. Fade is here to look for Professor Song. Perhaps he can make him speak".. Jefferson, the other foreigner, spoke up as well, "Fade is young, but he's very capable. He will be a good fighter if he is willing to fight for us. "Let's take him to Professor Song. Jaegar was convinced by them. Without further ado, they took Fade to the back of the main hall. At this moment, Fade, who pretended to faint, couldn't fully understand their conversation. However, he perked up at the mention of Garvet. This time, he was even more excited. It seemed that he had found the right place. Garvet was indeed in Mokao Temple, and had something to do with these people. With his eyes closed, Fade could feel that he had been brought through the temple. He had entered a place similar to a cave, and walked along the cave passage for about a quarter of an hour. The group of people then stopped. Fade heard the sound of people walking and talking, the sound of machines running noisily, and the sound of beasts growling. He opened his eyes secretly, and observed his current position. He was in a huge cave. The inside of the cave was supported by cement and steel poles, and the construction was very solid. It did not look like an ordinary cave, but rather like an underground military fortress. Just thent, he was thrown onto a military bed. Opposite him was a cave similar to a laboratory. Inside, there were a number of large and small machines roaring and running, and various liquid vapors flowing through the pipes and machines. Many researchers in special protective coats were busy working. On the side of the laboratory, rooms of different sizes were built, but they were all sealed up. From the looks of it, the materials were extremely secure. In these rooms which were more like boxes, there were all kinds of animals. For example, the small ones contained mice, while the big ones contained fierce animals such as buffalos and lions. From time to time, researchers would come over with all kinds of drugs and inject them into the animals. They would then observe and record the various reactions and data. Such a situation reminded Fade of the scene in the research room of the "gene strengthening liquid" handled by Professor Song. These people were also doing research and experiments on the gene strengthening liquid. In other words, they were working on Garvet's research. Seeing this, Fade was convinced that Garvet was here. As he looked around, he saw Jefferson and other monks carrying Garvet out of the small cave on the other side. At this time, Garvet's hands and feet were shackled. He was very gaunt, and his eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to be extremely weak, ready to fall at any moment. The two men brought him over, and Jefferson then asked, "Song, you know this guy, don't you?" He was speaking Chinese, so Fade could also understand him. Garvet, who was extremely weak, opened his eyes and glanced over. He saw Fade lying on the military bed. His eyes couldn't help but twitch, and a surprised expression flashed across his face. "No, I don't know him." Garvet tried his best to calm down as he shook his head. However, they were all high level martial artists, and their strength was no weaker than the other black-robed monks. How could they not notice the expression on his face? Jefferson laughed as he continued, "Song, do you really not know him? This man is Fade. He has come all the way to Jopeno to look for you" "I told you that I don't recognize him," Garvet replied firmly. However, Jefferson's smile grew wider. With a flip of his hand, a dagger appeared in his right hand. He stepped towards Fade as he remarked casually, "Since you don't know him, then it's useless to keep him here.

Upon seeing this, Garvet's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer play along. He immediately shouted, "Stop" Jefferson stopped his actions instantly, then turned to look at him with a smile. *Song, didn't you say that you had no idea who he was? What are you doing" "Please, let him go!" Garvet gritted his teeth as he glanced at Fade. Jefferson answered with a smile, "We had a hard time catching him, and he almost killed a monk from Mokao Temple. We won't let him go this easily." After a moment's hesitation, Garvet finally said. "Let him go, and I'll give you what you want" When he heard this, Jefferson's eyes lit up with excitement. Write the formula down for the gene-strengthening liquid now!" "No, you must release him first before I can tell you the formula," Garvet refused firmly. Upon hearing this, the expression on Jefferson's face changed, as if he was thinking about something. At this moment, Garvet made a plan in his mind secretly. "Fade has been caught, which is bad news. The only good thing is that these people don't know that he had also participated in the research of the gene-strengthening liquid. In fact, Fade is the key
