Chapter 1498 The Broken Sword

The world watched as Sina and Sofia united with each other, the first combatant to release themselves from the enemy restraint

Everyone was guessing who would break the balance of power first.

Some people guessed it would be the dark forces of the world and some people guessed it would be the world power.

The Crime Alliance, the Pirates and other criminal organization all designate a simple plan.

That is to make each of those powerful and famous figures of the world power fighting their top power and separate each of them.

And everyone could see that the world power also adopts the same kind of strategy. And once a balance is broken, the battlefield would lean onto one side

Those who is watching this scene could not help but sighed.

'The victory is sealed'

This is the thought of everyone watching. In many places, the dark forces of the world are still fighting the world powers. But they all restrained each other.

But now, Sina the Alchemy Queen has been freed from her restrain, the three-beast king had died, refined into a pill.

On Sofia side, tens of thousands of people, robots and all manners of abominations attacks her.

Added that with twelve elite archers, it should have restrained her and pin her into that one place.

But she decimated the tens of thousands of attackers and pin down twelve people on the ground, that they die kneeling in front of her.

Now, Sina is still in full powers. One must not underestimate the ability of an alchemist to maintain their life force.

It is one of the most bugged existence if this was a game.

However, an alchemist like Sina is hard to find in this world but it is precisely because it is so that trying to kill an alchemist like Sina must be done quickly and accurately.

As long as you give them a chance to take a breath, or a second to make a move, they could restore their health quickly.

And Sofia once again returns to top form with the One Breath pill.

With these two people free to roam anywhere they want right now, the tide of victory favors heavily toward the world power right now

But some people shook their head.

There is still a chance for the entire battlefield to be flipped upside down.

And what is this chance?

If Kaiju won the battle….no matter how many people the Crime Alliance lost, no matter how many pirate lords was defeated by the world powers…the winner of this war would be the dark forces of the world

On the south side of the island, bleeding and broken all over is a man who wields a jagged sword

Those who follow this fight form the beginning watch this battle with a solemn expression.

They watched as these two people fight against each other in a hilly area when the war just started.

That hilly area however has now turned into flat plains.

There is a lake before and even that lake was destroyed, one could only see traces of water but no sign of a lake anywhere.

There are sword marks all over the ten kilometers radius of these two people.

They managed to limit their power to extend only to ten kilometers radius.

This did not mean that their power and ability is weak instead they are someone who have reached probably the pinnacle method of controlling their energy on their current level.

Their mastery of their own energy allowed them to limit their area of attack while condensing each attack to become even more powerful in that small space.

The person fighting in this area is Shinji the Swift Sword. His aura is weak. And even though he is still standing, it could be seen that he is on his last breath

His katana is now jagged like it was eroded by something. The people could not believe that the Crime Alliance has such a person who could push Shinji to this condition

In the sixth month since Death Monarch disappeared, Shinji the Swift Sword had defended Pandemonium from the enemy in the dark.

All of it was resolved by him. This shows that he is not a weak person because no weak person would ever dare attack Pandemonium.

But now, fighting with the representative of the Crime Alliance, he is beaten to this point which shows that this representative of the Crime Alliance is stronger than Shinji

'Hah…Hah' Shinji look at his enemy in the distance.  His leather armor is torn apart in many different places.

'Hong Yaoshi' Shinji muttered and it is only now that the people of the world finally know the name of this man that has been attacking Shinji

No one knows the name of this person and no one recognize him before Shinji said his name. The reason is because this person wears a mask.

A mask of a Red Lotus. The face mask is covered with a red lotus motif.

Some people do not know who Hong Yaoshi.

But those who deals with the criminal underworld especially those who are based in Asia, knows the Red Lotus.

Of course, Asia is large and there are many other criminal underworld organizations but the Red Lotus Triad is one of the most famous and most brutal.

And one its general is Hong Yaoshi. And like always he is dressed in red.

Leather armor and a red mask. He has long tied hair behind his back and he is surrounded by wind gales.

These wind gales seem to swirl around him and repel any attacks

Hong Yaoshi has cuts on his armors and there is a cut on his mask but other than a few cuts, he was not affected that much.

He is not in his last breath like Shinji.

Shinji close his eyes and in that one moment, he focusses all of his strength on his sword

He did not care whether he is about to die or not. He pushes all of those thoughts to the side and focus only making his shot.

Even in his current situation, he did not stop fighting. This is the man that would even dare to fight against Death Monarch.

So why would he be afraid now? Even if he is to die, he is not afraid. It is not that he doesn't want to live. It is just that he would fulfill his duty even if it's the last thing he did

That is how he had lived his life and nothing could waver him from that determination. And that is probably what makes his sword always so powerful and always so terrible.

He opens his eyes a moment later and his hand moves.

The sword is drawn, a sword shrill echoes like a bird screeching, a sword light rushed toward Hong Yaoshi.

Clang!

BOOM!

The sword broken, a palm appears and once the palm strike thrusted forward, the sword light breaks.

Swoosh!

Hong Yaoshi kicks the ground forward and his body seems to meld with his surrounding and he disappeared from the area.

But in fact, he was moving so fast that it only appears so.

And in the blink of an eye, he is now in front of Shinji. His palm move is now changing toward a clawing move.

'I will take your heart!' he shouted, his voice is cold and hoarse

Shinji kicks the ground beneath him, intending to retreat backward. But as he kicks the ground, he felt the pressure behind his back.

The moment that Hong Yaoshi appears in his range of attack, he blocks the space with his powerful pressure.

The palm change into a claw, the claw sucked the space around him and the space is sealed.

The claw came and tearing sound could be heard.

Shinji is a Disk Formation leveler. His body as also tempered.

His body is so sturdy that if you hurl him towards a mountain with great enough force, a mountain could be shattered.

But, this kind of physique that could break mountain means nothing in front of that claw.

It tears apart the skin so easily like a knife meeting paper.

The veins were cut off, the energy blocked and the claw get its target

Shritt!

The sound of something being snapped out echoes, a shockwave erupted and a scream of pains echoes all over the flat plains.

ARGH!

The sound alone brings chills to the people listening and the scene shocked the people of the world

And then there is silence. The dust rises and the dust falls and the scene is clear and the whole world that watched this all have an expression of solemnity on their face

Drip!

Drip!

Drip!

The sound of something dripping could be heard if one listen carefully. That is how silent it is.

And people sighed all over the world

Hong Yaoshi just ripped apart Shinji the Swift Sword heart from his chest.

Shinji could only look at Hong Yaoshi as he felt his energy drains in great amount.

This is not a simple ripping process.

When an injury like this happens, the energy of the world would help the leveler to regenerate back the part that they are missing.

Especially if that someone is a Disk Formation leveler.

But, when Hong Yaoshi ripped apart his heart, there is corrosive energy that is burning the veins and the capillaries of his body.

The same corrosive properties that made his straight katana into a jagged sword.

'Uhuk, uhuk' he coughed up golden blood and he come closer to Hong Yaoshi

That red mask simply looks at him and he doesn't seem to care that Shinji is now inside the most optimal striking range

Shing staggered and he moves his hand.

Hong Yaoshi lets him and that hand is only a few inches from Hong Yaoshi face before that hand falls down to the side

Shinji try to grab Hong Yaoshi mask but before he could even touch the mask, his knees fall to the ground and the pain overwhelms him

blood is gushing from the hole in his chest and he falls down to his own pool of blood.

The cold eyes of Hong Yaoshi look at him and then he turns to look elsewhere and then without explanation, Hong Yaoshi jumps into the air and disappeared from the area

There it is Shinji the Swift Sword, lying on his own pool of blood.

And with each passing moment his eyes become heavier and heavier. And then, he finally closes those eyes, a final breath was taken.

Shinji the Swift Sword dies.
