Chapter 374 - Spear Domain

Ning went through many cities and places with a dense number of people and beasts, killing the people who were going to suicide amongst them. 

He made sure that he didn't miss important places that held people he cared about. Places like Klavia, new klavia, Deepskull City, Seven Lights city, Broken Soul city, Five Professions academy, and a few other places. 

Everywhere he went someone died. However, the longer he was taking, the more and more people had already killed themselves, dooming the entire city to go through the tragedy. 

"System, update the list," Ning said emotionlessly. "If someone in the list is dead, get rid of them."

<Confirmed>

Ning's heart sank when he realized almost 12 names had disappeared amongst the 50 or so people that were still remaining in the list. 

"I need to hurry," Ning thought and disappeared once more. 

By the time he was done with the list, 3 more names disappeared from the list. In total, Ning had witnessed about 7 different cities with the bloody fog, and another 15 he never went to.

There were exactly 312 people on the list when he started, so by comparison, he had actually helped a lot. But the loss easily outweighed his heart and he started feeling guilty. 

If only he had started a second sooner, or maybe not wasted a lot of time in the place where the first girl died. Maybe then he could have saved a lot more than he had. 

"No, I can't think like that. What's done is done. Torturing myself with what I could've done is not something I can afford to do, not right now," he thought. 

He had saved who he could, but the cost was a lot. Anger crept up inside of Ning and he disappeared once again. 

When he reappeared, he was inside of the secret realm that held the Origin. He quickly searched below and saw Jha'Akim smiling to himself as he held his hand in a fist in front of him. 

"You bastard," Ning shouted and disappeared once more before arriving right next to him, punching him directly in the face. 

Jha'Akim didn't expect to be punched right now, so he took the full force of the attack without putting any guards up. 

Jha'Akim flew through the air and went crashing through the side of a mountain.

"You bastard!" he cried once more. "Do you know how many people died because of you?" 

"Ow," Jha'Akim said as he climbed out of the mountain. "Oh, you're back already. You said many people died? That's quite early. I would've expected them to take at least another 2 hours."

"Anyway, good job to those guys. They knew what they were in for, and they still did it," Jha'Akim said. "Well, at least now the whole world will change."

"Keep dreaming," Ning said. "Most of them died before they could even do anything. Only a few of them actually managed to do anything."

Jha'Akim's smile stopped and he put on a serious face. "That's not possible. They should have all been able to kill themselves. I especially chose people that didn't have anything to lose and made them sympathetic to my cause."

"Most of them were actually willing to kill themselves before the time was even right. They only waited because I told them the time was near," Jha'Akim said.

"Hmph! Any other person and you might have succeeded. Fortunately, I was there and I saved most of them. Here are your people who failed," Ning said as he dropped the many bodies onto the ground.

Jha'Akim's eyes went wide when he saw the many decapitated bodies fall onto the ground, with heads rolling down right by them. 

He looked at a few faces and could see that some of them hadn't even realized that they were dead. He recognized many of the faces and was sure that they were the people he had prepared for his cause when he was just a clone. 

"These… are my people. How did you kill everyone? They should've been all across the planet," Jha'Akim said with a wide face. 

Ning took them all back into his space so that he didn't ruin the place with their blood. He also took back the blood that flowed on the ground. 

Jha'Akim's eyes narrowed when he saw that. "Where and how are you keeping all of those bodies?" he asked. 

"Like hell I am going to tell you. Besides, why would a man that is going to die need to know anything?" Ning asked. 

"Hmph! You'll kill me? We'll see about that," Jha'Akim said and slowly flew through the air. The air around him distorted as massive amounts of Qi fluctuated around him. 

Ning looked at him without fear as well. He brought out his black spear and got ready to fight. He took a deep breath and suddenly glints of light appeared around his spear. 

Jha'Akim looked surprised when he saw that. "That's… not Qi, is it?" he asked.

The glints of light floating around Ning started to get denser and denser until they turned into genuine spears that floated around Ning. 

The spears then started to uniformly spin around Ning, while at the same time expanding all around him, hitting anything that was within a certain range. 

This was the first time Ning would have to fight seriously, and he was ready to do so. He didn't hold back any of his power and abilities and let it all show. 

Going past Spear Intent and the Spear Qi that came after it, Ning was now establishing his Spear Domain. 

Anything and everything that entered his spear domain would now be attacked with the flying, glowing spears. 

Jha'Akim who was alive during a time where humans hadn't reached the pinnacle of what was possible in cultivation had never seen anyone use any forms of weapon intent. 

Even during his times as the clone, he had only ever seen Weapon intents, and never any of its higher forms. So, he was genuinely confused and curious as to what he was seeing.

His inner beastly urges to fight, which he thought was gone, were starting to surface once more.
