Chapter 203: Chapter 202 Ungrateful
"Black Fog, join my Rashamon Army," Luo Jin tempted. "The Rashamon King will offer you the best compensation. The status and wealth you’ll enjoy will surpass my own!"
"Are you done talking out of your ass?" Black Fog said coldly.
"Huh?" Luo Jin stared at Black Fog in a rage. "So, you’re refusing to give
face?"
"How much is your face worth? Luo Jin, stop trying to sow discord. No matter what you say, you are still going to die today!" Black Fog retorted.
Luo Jin sneered, "Die? I’d like to see if your strength is really as impressive as your arrogance, Black Fog!"
Black Fog raised his dagger again and, in the blink of an eye, lunged at Luo Jin. Luo Jin was stunned. He hadn’t expected Black Fog to strike without warning, giving him no ti to breathe and wasting no words. He had no choice but to et the attack head-on.
Under the moonlight, Luo Jin’s sharp claws looked terrifying as they slashed toward Black Fog, each strike aid to kill. However, Black Fog seed entirely unafraid.
His power was even more formidable, especially with his ghostly dagger, which had neutralized Luo Jin’s strength from the start. The two weapons collided, sending out a shower of dazzling sparks. Luo Jin flinched and closed his eyes.
The mont he did, Black Fog struck again, a second dagger appearing in his hand. Both blades drove straight toward Luo Jin’s abdon.
"Not good!"
By the ti Luo Jin reacted, he had already been struck. He instantly fell to one knee, staring warily at Black Fog.
Blood dripped from Black Fog’s dagger. Just then, he attacked again.
He threw one dagger, and Luo Jin quickly blocked the attack. But as he did, he failed to defend against Black Fog’s other dagger. It plunged straight toward him.
Luo Jin instinctively shielded his throat, but unfortunately, this left his heart exposed. The razor-sharp dagger pierced it directly. He struggled, clutching his chest as he stared at Black Fog.
"It’s all over," said Black Fog.
In agony, Luo Jin collapsed to the ground.
The Heavenly King Hall’s strength was astonishing. All of Luo Jin’s subordinates were exterminated. Among the group of old and weak they had just rescued, many recognized Tian Can and Di Que, and they erupted in cheers.
After Tian Can got them settled, he prepared to push forward. They weren’t far from King Hall anymore. Just then, Qin Yanran and Qin ngyao walked over.
Qin Yanran asked him, "Have you seen Ye Fan?"
Black Fog shook his head. He knew nothing about the King of Heaven’s whereabouts.
A worried expression crossed Qin Yanran’s face.
Tian Can imdiately spoke up. "Sister-in-law, don’t worry. The boss is the strongest person in the world, so he won’t be in any danger. By the way, how did you two end up here?"
He hadn’t expected to see Qin Yanran in this desert, let alone Qin ngyao, who looked so much like her.
Qin Yanran replied, "We ca to help Ye Fan!"
"Sister-in-law, the African battlefield is brutally harsh. You should leave this to us and the boss. It’s better if you go back and wait for our good news!" Tian Can urged.
But Qin Yanran insisted, "No, I have to go!"
"That’s right! Don’t think we won are useless!" Qin ngyao stubbornly declared.
Tian Can was instantly speechless. Won could be very useful, especially to the boss. But out here, they would only be a burden. Yet, he didn’t dare refuse Qin ngyao and Qin Yanran. After all, they were the boss’s won.
Black Fog cut in, "No, you must turn back. We need to hurry to King Hall. If you co with us, no one can protect you on the battlefield!"
"Hmph, who needs your protection, Mr. Cold Face? We can take care of ourselves," Qin ngyao scoffed.
When she called him Mr. Cold Face, the whole group burst out laughing, especially Tian Can and Di Que. Black Fog rarely spoke, a result of his cold nature, so the nickna suited him perfectly.
Black Fog was incredibly frustrated. He had never t anyone with such a sharp tongue. If it had been anyone else, he would have already put a dagger in them. But against Qin ngyao, he was completely helpless.
"Move out!" Black Fog imdiately ordered, leading the army onward.
Qin Yanran and Qin ngyao followed behind in an off-road vehicle driven by Di Que.
"Sister-in-law," Di Que said, "it would be so much more comfortable for you back in Hua Xia. Why co to this godforsaken place?"
"Fatty, look at yourself. You’re fatter than a pig, and you’re still running your mouth! Just drive the car!" Qin ngyao shot back.
At that mont, Di Que felt the urge to kill himself. He finally understood why Black Fog avoided Qin ngyao. Her mouth was downright venomous.
「anwhile.」
Huo Yun was leading a dozen or so surviving troops toward King Hall. When they arrived at the outskirts, they saw the main gates were sealed shut. The enemy had indeed reached their headquarters.
One of the Rashamon King’s subordinates reported to him, "Sir, more than ten enemy survivors are approaching. Should we slaughter them?"
The Rashamon King replied coldly, "Kill them all!"
"Yes, sir!"
Huo Yun was so parched it felt as if his throat was on fire. He led his n to the base of the walls and yelled, "Huo Yun of King Hall requests you open the gates!"
However, there was no response from atop the walls.
Huo Yun was furious, and his n were equally enraged. This was their headquarters! To have the gates shut on them when they requested entry was unbelievable. What was the aning of this?
Atop the wall, Lei Kai said, "Let them in!"
A voice called out as Chui Feng approached. "Wait!"
Lei Kai turned to him. "What is the aning of this?"
"What do you an? If we open the gates now, what happens if the enemy breaks through? Is that a risk you’re willing to take?" Chui Feng demanded. "So, do not let them in!" he added decisively.
"They are our brothers who have fought and died alongside us, Chui Feng! Is your heart really that cold?" Lei Kai said angrily, on the verge of losing his composure.
"Lei Kai, I understand what you’re feeling, but they have already been eliminated. Instead of letting them crawl back to die a slow death, why not let them fall in battle and uphold the honor of King Hall?
"For them, living now is just torture. The enemy army is waiting outside. If we rashly open the gates and are overrun, you and I will be traitors to King Hall!" Chui Feng’s tone was firm as he used his coldest logic to persuade Lei Kai.
Below the wall, the quiet was shattered as an army erged from the swirling dust—a terrifying and hopeless sight. The enemy numbered over a hundred, while they were only a dozen n at their weakest. This wouldn’t be a battle; it would be a ruthless slaughter.
Huo Yun roared in fury, "Chui Feng, open the gates now! You traitor! When the King of Heaven returns, he will personally execute an ungrateful wretch like you!"
Hearing this, Chui Feng, standing atop the wall, gave a cold command, "No one is to let them in."
