Zir felt like his life was sapping out of his body. He could feel that even though he underwent so many modifications and his body was strong enough to withstand severe injuries, he felt like he was still dying. He had killed so many people after coming to this place and his power was growing stronger, would his life really end here?
His vision was turning more blurry as his body was weakening. Too much blood was loss and it was still flowing out. Then, he looked at Jin Rou who was standing just beside him and looking at him with a mocking smile.
"It only took 5 seconds to defeat you. How disappointing." Jin Rou stepped on Zir's stomach and pressed it, "You might have thought you are already strong enough to carry the will of your ancestors, but you are still so weak unfortunately. Now, let me end your suffering."
"Wait!" Jin Rou was about to crush Zir's skull when Tiresh Abhold shouted.
Jin Rou looked at her and said, "Why, you want me to be merciful to let him go?"
Tiresh Abhold bit her lip and looked away. It looked like it was really what she wanted.
Jin Rou couldn't help but laugh, "I already told you that he is no longer your brother. He is now part of the darkness and he will remain as is. If I let him go now to grow stronger, it will be an additional threat to this world."
The other party was speechless and didn't know what to say. So Jin Rou continued, "So keep your emotions at bay. It will be useless if you try to change my mind."
Then, before Tiresh Abhold could answer, a deep voice suddenly said, "Unfortunately, you cannot kill him."
Jin Rou looked at the newcomer behind him. It was an old man with dark skin, he also had four long horns that looked intimidating enough to frighten people. His long white hair was dancing with the small wind here in this place.
"It looks like the master has finally appeared." Jin Rou gauged this old man's strength and he found out that he was very strong. Even heavenlies would be severely injured or die fighting him, "So, why cannot I kill this man?"
"Because he is a very important person in this sea. The Lord has taken a liking to him." The old man said, "While I know that I am incapable of defeating you, be aware that our Lord is someone so strong too that you might not be a match against."
"Then it's more likely I should kill him to meet this so-called Lord of yours." Jin Rou smirked. He was planning to push their buttons until their very strong leader appear.
Jin Rou picked the dagger that he dropped a while ago and aimed to end Zir's life once again. However, the old man released his dark dao stopping Jin Rou's movements for a bit, "Impudent! You have been warned yet you are so cocky to ignore it!"
"Noisy. Just stay back and watch." Jin Rou broke the binding chains stopping his movements and paled the dagger into Zir's forehead. The latter was already dying, so this attack easily killed him.
Tiresh Abhold looked at the sight in horror while the old man was fuming with rage as he shouted, "Imbecile, what have you done?!"
Zir was the Lord's favorite disciple and the Lord will always take lengths to protect and spoil him. The Lord was expecting that Zir would inherit his throne in the future and be the leader of the dark tribe here in the Uncrossable Sea. But now, everything went down the drain. Their tribe had exhausted almost all of their resources to nurture Zir but it was now all wasted.
"What have I done? Just killed something. Not worthy to mention." Jin Rou was still trying to provoke the other party and said, "So what are you going to do now?"
"What to do? Kill you, of course!" The old man used all his power to strengthen his body and modified everything about him. After a while, he turned into a beast that resembled an ape. His power had doubled or tripled too. Anyone who would see this would surely shake in fear.
However, Jin Rou didn't waste time and immediately attacked the old man. He charged a powerful punch and shot it through the enemy's stomach. It contained the power of the world, so the old man's stomach was shattered into so many tiny pieces of flesh.
Not just that, the old man was still alive so Jin Rou threw another but stronger punch this time. He was making sure that it would end old man's life now.
"Begone." Jin Rou's eyes were filled with killing intent but it suddenly changed into surprise when a hand suddenly pushed him back to stop his attack.
The old man rolled into the ground while clutching his stomach part which had a hole caused by Jin Rou. He was gritting his teeth as he tried his best to normalize his breathing and stopping the blood flow.
Jin Rou looked at the existence in front of him. To be able to push back Jin Rou despite his power level, the one who came might be very strong.
It was too bad that Jin Rou couldn't kill the old man immediately. But the coming of this existence was a better thing, "I thought I'm going to kill all of your subordinates first before you appear."
It was a man with a very handsome features. Unlike the dark tribe members he met a while ago, this one's beauty was top notch. Though his skin was black, it actually complemented his handsomeness with his short black hair swaying by the gentle wind.
"You are so much of a threat that I cannot wait you to do that." The man smiled and walked over to the old man, "Old Ben, drink this immediately. It will temporarily recover a bit of your strength."
Old Ben immediately accepted the potion and was filled with gratitude as he said, "My Lord, thank you for your grace."
