Chapter 67: Machine Dao

Swish!

The moment Namgung Gong swung his hand down, Blake stopped pouring mana into his heavenly grade katana, Pride of the Seven Deadly Sins.

He then lifted it high above his head before he swung it down with all his might.

Time froze at that moment.

Seven Deadly Sins, Prideful Lion's Royal Descent!

A majestic golden maned lion leaped out of Pride before it charged towards Namgung Jin with intense bloodlust.

With a swipe of its claws, the majestic lion ripped through his opponents' defensive artifacts like they were made from tofu, dismembering his opponent into mince meat within a blink of an eye.

Everything happened within a split second, so his opponent had no time to react nor dodge.

Time resumed afterwards.

A thud sound soon followed as Namgung Jin breathed his last breath.

Seeing this, Namgung Gong was shocked.

His clan's greatest genius, the 2nd Thunderbolt Swordsman had actually died the moment he swung his hand down!

This...This was simply out of his expectations!

Namgung Gong looked at his descendant's corpse before turning to look at Blake. The shock was still visible on his face.

'This brat...He was actually stronger than he looked...' Namgung Gong gulped nervously. 'To cut down a Martial Lieutenant in the blink of an eye, this Japanese child must be a Martial Major at least! We've been had!'

Blake, on the other hand, was enjoying the despair and anger he caused Namgung Gong. Thanks to the ancestor of the Namgung Clan, he was able to test out his newly refined Heavenly grade artifact.

'To think that Pride was already this powerful. What would happen if I successfully refined the remaining weapons of the Seven Deadly Sins? I could annihilate sects with a wave of my hand at that point.' Thinking so, Blake couldn't wait to end this joke of a battle and refine the remaining Seven Deadly Sins.

"You should give up while you still can, Japanese boy. I, Yonglun, young master of the Ancient Xiao Clan, a core disciple of the Kunlun Sect, and a dragon among men, shall spare you if you grovel beneath me until everyone else finishes their battles. How about that? I think I have been merciful enough!" Xiao Yonglun clashed his fists together and snorted.

Within the time it was needed to blink, Xiao Yonglun had arrived in front of Zack before he gave the boy a barrage of mountain shaking punches.

Zack, being unable to react in time, was sent flying into the brick walls behind him as a result. After landing, he proceeded to cough out a mouthful of blood.

"Argh!" Without being able to catch his breath, Xiao Yonglun had teleported in front of him before the towering man picked him by the neck.

Zack gasped for air as he tried to break free from the towering man's grasp.

"Give it up, Japanese boy. The differences in our strengths are too large of a gap to cover. You are not my match."

Zack ignored Yonglun's words as he tried to muster up the strength to push him away.

But as the amount of oxygen entering his lungs decreased, Zack was slowly losing consciousness.

'I...I can't go out like this...' Zack thought to himself as he felt his strength leaving his body, his eyes slowly closing.

"Zack, if you die, I'll go to the Underworld to revive you, then kill you again for leaving me to become a widow!"

Just then, a loud yet pleasant voice entered his ears and jolted him awake.

That's right!

If he gave up right now, who was going to take care of his girlfriend?!

Blake would just send Amelia away since she'd become a widow always mourning for his death. He couldn't allow it to happen.

As if Zack was just reborn, he had suddenly gained intense strength as martial qi surged within his body like a tsunami.

Grabbing the arm of his opponent, Zack ripped Xiao Yonglun's arm off with all his might.

This in turn stunned the opponent greatly, allowing Zack to pour his martial qi into his fist.

When Xiao Yonglun came back to his senses, Zack unleashed fire qi infused fist at Yonglun's stomach, penetrating his opponent's defensive artifact's barrier and destroying his opponent's insides with the fire qi.

Of course, this all happened within a mere 3 breaths of time.

Xiao Yonglun, who was already dazed from having lost an arm, got a hole punched into him and had his internal organs burned to a crisp.

He coughed out a mouthful of blood before he collapsed onto the floor. Xiao Yonglun died shortly after.

Blake who was watching from the side raised his brow at the sight of this.

'So this is what they call a protagonist of the Heavenly Dao. They will always rise back up at the brink of death. I could destroy Zack's soul and he will still find a way to reincarnate into his next life. Tch tch tch, if only I was this lucky back then. I could've enjoyed battles longer while improving myself at the same time. If only I was weak back then...'

Now that Zack's predicament became a victory, Blake turned his attention towards Willford's battle. He didn't have to care for Amelia since Zack was already heading there to help.

But just as Blake was about to walk towards Willford, something caught his eye.

Willford, being the rank 16 Martial Sargent he was, stood no chance against the 3 young masters and 1 young miss of the Nine Martial Alliance.

So what did he do?

Blake sighed helplessly upon finding out.

'This kid's Machine Dao was too useful. To think that he created a portable iron fortress beforehand.'

That's right, Willford was currently fighting his opponents using a machine gun infused with martial qi.

When it was time to reload the machine gun, he would hide inside his iron fortress till he was ready to unleash hell onto his opponents again.

And although the bullets fired by the machine gun didn't do much damage to his opponents, his opponents were annoyed that they could only be pelted with bullets while they couldn't do anything to Willford.

This was simply unfair!
