Chapter 103: Divine Heavenly Sword Art
Watching the battle unfold, Yun Wanhe frowned.
"What are you idiots doing?"
He glared at the gangsters.
"He’s pushing him back! Attack him!"
His yell snapped everyone out of their fear.
"Kill him!"
The men charged forward with renewed confidence, raising bats, pipes, and machetes.
Unfortunately...
They had picked the worst possible moment.
The massive enforcer was already swinging wildly, completely consumed by the fight.
BANG!
One thug was sent flying after being accidentally punched in the face.
CRACK!
Another was struck by a backhand meant for Shen Tian.
"AAGH!"
"Brother! You hit me!"
The enforcer didn’t even notice.
His eyes were locked onto Shen Tian.
Seeing this, Shen Tian couldn’t help laughing beneath the chicken mask.
’This guy really doesn’t care who’s in front of him...’
A mischievous grin spread across his face.
Instead of attacking...
He deliberately maneuvered around the room, timing his dodges so the enforcer’s punches kept crashing into his own allies.
Every missed swing sent another gangster tumbling across the bar.
Within seconds...
Half the remaining men had been taken out by friendly fire.
Yun Wanhe rubbed his forehead.
"...Are you serious?"
Unable to watch any longer...
He activated his qi.
Boom!
With a burst of speed, he shot forward like a bolt of lightning.
In the blink of an eye...
He appeared behind Shen Tian.
His leg whipped through the air.
WHOOSH!
A powerful kick aimed straight for Shen Tian’s head.
Shen Tian calmly lowered himself.
The kick missed him entirely.
Instead...
BANG!
It slammed directly into the charging enforcer.
The giant staggered several steps backward.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Yet...
He simply wiped it away.
Then roared and charged again.
Watching the two repeatedly get in each other’s way...
Shen Tian sighed.
"This was entertaining at first."
He casually avoided another punch before countering with a kick to Yun Wanhe’s ribs.
Yun Wanhe slid backward but quickly regained his footing.
The enforcer attacked again.
Shen Tian sidestepped.
A nearby table exploded into splinters from the missed punch.
He grabbed a steel pipe lying on the floor and casually swung it.
CLANG!
The enforcer blocked it with his forearm.
The pipe bent from the impact.
Shen Tian tossed it aside.
Then picked up another weapon.
Then another.
Every strike forced the pair backward...
Yet neither of them fell.
"You two are surprisingly durable."
He rolled his shoulders.
"I guess... I’ll stop playing around."
With one leap, Shen Tian created several meters of distance between himself and the two.
He slowly closed his eyes.
The room became strangely quiet.
The enforcer frowned.
"What’s he doing?"
Yun Wanhe, however...
Felt every hair on his body stand up.
A terrible sense of danger washed over him.
"Wait..."
He instinctively took two steps backward.
"No..."
The enforcer paid him no attention.
Completely consumed by bloodlust, he roared and rushed forward once more.
Each heavy step left cracks across the wooden floor.
"I’m going to crush you!"
Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes.
A calm golden light flickered within them.
He raised one hand.
The qi surrounding his body suddenly gathered together.
Condensing.
Compressing.
Taking shape.
A translucent sword of pure qi gradually formed in his grasp.
The moment Yun Wanhe saw it...
His pupils shrank to pinpoints.
"T-That’s..."
His breathing stopped.
’A cultivation technique?!’
’Impossible!’
’Only cultivators should be able to use techniques like that!’
Everything suddenly made sense.
The terrifying pressure.
The effortless dodging.
The overwhelming confidence.
"He’s a cultivator."
Yun Wanhe’s face turned pale.
He immediately shouted,
"STOP! DON’T GO ANY CLOSER!"
But it was already too late.
The enforcer was less than a meter away.
Shen Tian calmly raised the qi sword.
Then...
Swung.
A brilliant arc of light flashed across the room.
Silence followed.
The charging enforcer stopped moving.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
A second later...
He got split in half...
The bar became deathly quiet.
Everyone stared in horror.
Yun Wanhe’s mind went blank.
’One strike... He ended him with one strike...’
His survival instincts screamed.
Run.
Without another thought...
Yun Wanhe turned and sprinted toward the exit with every ounce of speed he possessed.
"So that’s your choice."
Shen Tian smiled beneath the mask.
The remaining gangsters saw Yun Wanhe fleeing.
Their morale shattered instantly.
"Run!"
"Get out of here!"
"We can’t beat him!"
They scattered toward every exit.
Shen Tian sighed.
"I can’t let witnesses leave so easily."
The qi sword flickered once more.
Using the Divine Heavenly Sword Art, he moved like a phantom through the room.
Brilliant flashes of sword qi streaked across.
One after another...
The fleeing gangsters were cut down before they could escape.
Although every swing rapidly consumed his qi...
Against ordinary people...
The technique was overwhelmingly powerful.
Only Yun Wanhe managed to create enough distance.
Just as Shen Tian was about to pursue...
He suddenly stopped.
The qi sword dispersed into countless glowing particles.
"Can’t kill him yet... Fucking fate..."
He watched Yun Wanhe disappear into the street.
Outside...
Yun Wanhe ran as fast as he had ever run in his life.
His heart pounded wildly.
Cold sweat drenched his back.
"I have to get stronger... I need that pendant! I thought I was powerful..."
His fists clenched until they trembled.
"But compared to that random bastard. I’m still nothing. Just an ant beneath the heavens."
Yun Wanhe ran for several blocks before finally slowing to a stop.
He leaned against a streetlight, breathing heavily.
His heart was still pounding.
Not because of his injuries...
But because of what he had just witnessed.
Someone capable of condensing qi into a weapon.
Just thinking about that terrifying sword sent a chill down his spine.
"Damn it."
He clenched his fists.
For the first time in a long while...
He had experienced genuine fear.
After taking several deep breaths, he finally managed to calm himself.
"At least..."
He forced himself to smile.
"There’s one good thing."
He nodded to himself.
"The enforcer’s dead. Everyone else is dead too. So... No one’s left to spread what happened. My reputation’s still intact."
The smile on his face grew wider.
"I’ll just tell Brother Zhuge those idiots ruined everything. They charged in without listening. It wasn’t my fault."
The more he talked to himself about it...
The better he felt.
"Yeah. That’s what happened."
His confidence slowly returned.
"But first..."
His eyes lit up.
"I need to get that pendant. Once I obtain it... I’ll become stronger. Next time... I won’t have to run."
Without wasting another second, Yun Wanhe stepped into the middle of the road and waved both arms.
A taxi screeched to a stop.
The elderly driver lowered his window.
"Where to?"
"The national park! Hurry up!"
The old driver looked exhausted.
After driving taxis for decades...
He had long since stopped caring about rude passengers.
He simply shrugged.
"Alright."
Yun Wanhe climbed into the back seat.
The taxi pulled away.
Fifteen minutes later...
They arrived outside the national park.
The meter stopped.
The elderly driver turned around.
"That’ll be—"
Before he could finish...
Yun Wanhe casually tossed a few coins onto the passenger seat.
"There."
Then he slammed the door shut.
Bang!
The old driver stared at the coins.
"Kid... You’re short."
Yun Wanhe was already running away.
The driver simply sighed.
"Kids these days..."
He picked up the coins before driving off.
Meanwhile...
Yun Wanhe sprinted through the park.
He only had one destination.
The cave.
A few moments later...
He finally reached it.
He froze.
"No."
The smile on his face slowly disappeared.
The cave...
Was gone.
The entire entrance had collapsed beneath countless tons of rock.
Yellow warning tape surrounded the area.
Several signs read:
DANGER
DO NOT ENTER
For a moment...
Yun Wanhe simply stood there.
His brain refused to process what he was seeing.
"...No..."
His lips trembled.
"No. No!"
Yun Wanhe rushed toward the collapsed entrance.
He ducked beneath the safety tape and rushed to the pile of rubble.
His hands immediately grabbed the nearest boulder.
"Move!"
He strained with all his strength.
The rock shifted.
Then another.
Then another.
He looked at the mountain of debris stretching before him.
"..."
His shoulders slowly slumped.
"I’m going to be here... for a very long time."
Still...
Yun Wanhe refused to give up.
If the pendant was buried beneath all of this...
He would dig until he found it.
