The sun was beginning to depart as the moon, two moons to be exact, could be seen appearing the sky. While it was not exactly night yet, as the Black Dust Domain was still bright yet and people could easily see what was in front of them without the use of torches, it was only a matter of time before it becomes dark.
However, for Jiang Ye and Officer Qin, they could not bother to care about the time. They were just staring at each other, both their faces extremely serious. It was the final battle, the result will determine the fate of the loser. If Jiang Ye loses this, he will have no choice but to go with Officer Qin and surrender himself. And if Officer Qin got defeated, his reputation will suffer a massive damage, people will disrespect him, and possibly, he would be punished by the Domain Lord himself.
This was an event that must not be taken as a joke. Because one wrong move will lead to the devastation of the loser's life. Even though Officer Qin was extremely confident in his strength, he still have some doubts about what was Jiang Ye was planning. Could it be, he also has tricks in his sleeve? Just like how he hid his trump card, Blood Condensation Fist Art, earlier? If so, what could it be?
In contrary, Jiang Ye, although he truly has a plan, he was not confident if this will even work. He just hoped so. He mumbled, "Amitabha Buddha, I'm no monk, but bless me."
Then, in just an instant after mumbling those words, Jiang Ye dashed toward his opponent, in such a speed that the bystanders can't see. In an instant after muttering those words, Jiang Ye sprang toward his opponent with such speed that the bystanders couldn't track him. Officer Qin's eyes widened in disbelief as he realized Jiang Ye was already standing before him.
But Officer Qin immediately became prepared and put a defensive stance. Meanwhile, Jiang Ye's forearm suddenly bulged, his already huge muscles becoming even larger, veins revealing themselves as blood filled his entire arm.
"Wait, this is—!?" Before Officer Qin could even finish and block the attack, Jiang Ye landed a blow on Officer Qin's face, which shattered everything on his face, especially his nose. The officer flew through the air as his teeth flew away, some even goes inside his throat.
"Damn it hurts," Jiang Ye said, shaking his arm as he felt the soreness after landing that powerful blow. Then he stared at Officer Qin, who had lost consciousness. What he just executed was a Martial Art, specifically the Blood Condensation Martial Art. By consuming spiritual energies temporarily stored in his body, he manipulated his blood and sent them to his right arm, making it significantly strong that it already was. This was the main essence of Officer Qin's Martial Art, and he actually perfectly imitated it! In fact, the blow he just produced was a lot stronger!
In that brief moment earlier, at their last bout, when Officer Qin executed his Martial Art, his mind felt as though it understood the essence on what Officer Qin did and instantly comprehended it, making the Martial Art his own without needing to read the Martial Art manual.
"Y-you…"
Jiang Ye then stared at Long Ziwu, who looked terrified as the latter stared at Officer Qin's broken face, more specifically his gaze was directed to his nose. Long Ziwu subconsciously touched his own nose as if it were his own.
Jiang Ye suddenly laughed inwardly, remembering what happened six months ago when he broke Long Ziwu's nose. It seemed that the event became traumatic for Long Ziwu.
"You…how dare you injure an officer!" Another officer from the group, named Cang Wei, said. But he didn't dare to stop Jiang Ye. He didn't even dare to move.
"What a bunch of fucking cowards," Jiang Ye sneered. Then he stared at the bystanders who also looked at him in horror, he could hear their murmurs.
"Damn, that guy just demolished the head officer."
"He's a dead man, the Domain Lord will be enraged when he heard this."
"But I'm not even going to lie, that was satisfying! Serves him right!"
"Hey, the officers could hear you!"
"…"
When Jiang Ye heard their conversations, he just smiled and paid them no attention. Positive or negative, he did not care what they just said. He just looked at his hand, feeling proud of what he just did. Do not misunderstood, he was not proud of destroying a guy's face mercilessly. If only he can travel back to time, he will defeat him without the need of such a bloody method. He was only proud because he was strong, and he did not disappointment the old man.
Speaking of the old man, Jiang Ye's face became serious. He did not know where they hold him captive, but he will surely save him. No matter what!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye's lips curled upwards as he approached the three officers with an evil expression.
"S-spare me!" One officer screamed as tears flowed from his eyes. Another officer kowtowed, saying a generic apology.
However, what caught Jiang Ye's attention was the third officer, who was named Cang Wei. He was also the one who has the guts to shout at him earlier.
"Tell me," Jiang Ye calmly said, staring directly at Cang Wei. "Where is Old Man Zhao?"
"Old Man Zhao?"
"The old man Officer Qin arrested last night!" Jiang Ye yelled. "Tell me and I will spare you and your beloved comrades."
"O-oh…" Cang Wei's eyes grew wide upon realization. Then, he mustered a courage and said, "I heard Officer Qin left him the Domain Lord's villa. I have no further information what happened next."
"Is that so?" Jiang Ye frowned when he heard this. Liang Shuyue, the Domain Lord, was probably interrogating the old man or even torturing him to reveal the location of the cultivation technique. He gritted his teeth, he wanted to go there now. But he hesitated. He had heard that the head of officers who was in charge of Extreme Dusk Cave, Officer Qin who he had just beaten few minutes ago, was just on par with some of the lower-ranked members of the Warrior's council. Just from this statement alone one could already imagine how ridiculously strong Liang Shuyue was, as he ruled the entire Domain.
"But didn't the old man mentioned in the letter he was part of the Warrior's council?" Jiang Ye mumbled as he suddenly thought of this. Something seems fishy, but he did not understand.
Jiang Ye suddenly heard footsteps coming from tens of meters away, looks like the full force of the officers were here. He can't fight them now, he was extremely exhausted and he has no energy for more.
And so, Jiang Ye smiled at the officers and the stupid duo, Long Ziwu and Yang Shan before running away, not having any destination in mind.
