Chapter 74

Chapter 73

"President, everything is ready."

The cautious voice of the chief steward.

Indeed, as the chief steward reported, the Black Heaven workers were lined up, waiting for Zhao Hui's orders.

Zhao Hui scanned them with a satisfied gaze and then roared loudly.

"Great! You recover quickly! Let's keep this momentum and raise one floor every day!"

The faces of the Black Heaven workers turned pale all at once!

If we raise one floor every day, then it will be completed in five days?

Or has this man finally gone mad?

"Damn, isn't this too much! What are we, slaves? Even slaves can't be treated this ignorantly!"

"Right! We have endured great hardships and dedicated ourselves to martial arts to die on the battlefield! If you keep assigning us such menial tasks, it would be better to kill us all! We can no longer bear this miserable humiliation!"

The remnants of the Black Heaven had gritted their teeth and held on until now because as long as the Black Heaven Great Executioner was alive, they could not give up hope.

The leader himself had endured humiliation as a hostage to plan for the future; how could they dare leave the leader?

However, not long ago.

To those who had endured day by day with hope, the news came like a bolt from the blue: the Black Heaven leader had been executed by the Four Rivers Society leader.

It was the news that shattered their lives and dreams.

Clang!

As someone drew a sword,

At the same time, all the remnants of the Black Heaven quickly drew the sinister weapons they had hidden in their clothes and glared at the sword deity with a murderous intent.

"Hmm, daring to think of rebellion?"

Among them were the Heaven Killers, who were considered to have the strength of elders in a major sect.

Despite the overwhelming killing intent emitted by the remnants of the Black Heaven, which enveloped the entire training ground, Zhao Hui did not flinch.

"If you are martial artists, you should be able to feel it, right? The difference between you and this sword deity is..."

Zhao Hui pointed to the sky with his eyes.

"...so vast that it's meaningless to even speak of it."

Though his words were arrogant, comparing himself to the heavens, the remnants of the Black Heaven did not deny his arrogance.

Heh.

"Is your goal to kill us?"

The man sneering was Wei Zhi'e, the Demon Flame Wave.

He had once faced Nangong Zhanghu and was a Heaven Killer, the actual leader of the remnants of the Black Heaven.

"If we can no longer dream of the Black Heaven's dominance!"

"Then what?"

"There's no need to prolong our miserable and wretched lives!"

"Hmm? Mutual destruction?"

Zhao Hui's question made Wei Zhi'e smirk again.

It would be impossible to kill that monstrous man by flying away on a sword.

Even if they wanted to die together, there was no way.

"Do not underestimate the Black Heaven! We will burn our souls in the netherworld!"

Squeal!

When a few of the Heaven Killers simultaneously lunged at Zhao Hui with their weapons,

Zhao Hui did not miss the faces of the Ghost Killers behind him, which were rapidly losing their vitality.

It was a typical sign of a martial artist cutting their own vital points.

Clang!

Zhao Hui deflected the Heaven Killers' attacks with his iron sword in a flash, and his eyes blazed with fury.

"You bastards! You martial artists, and this is all you can do!"

To choose a collective suicide attempt?

Wei Zhi'e, who was clutching his torn hands after the weapons were deflected, had a bewildered look on his face.

What is this madman saying?

You are a disciple of a sword deity who can fly on a sword!

Unmatchable.

Mutual destruction is impossible.

This is the position of the sword deity in today's martial world.

Do you not realize this incredible power?

Rather, to preserve the dignity of a martial artist, there is no other way but to take the initiative.

Soon, an indescribable aura flowed from Zhao Hui's entire body, and the absolute sword spirit appeared after a long time.

The Absolute Sword Spirit of the World.

This supreme sword spirit, which confines a radius of a hundred feet with extreme will, nullifies all physical forces within its range.

Ultimately, all the remnants of the Black Heaven collapsed with puzzled expressions.

This scene!

It is precisely the scene described by the Black Heaven Eight Kings without a single discrepancy.

Everyone believed it was a form of intangible poison, but it was eventually revealed to be otherwise.

Surprisingly, the Black Heaven Great Executioner was convinced that the sword deity's method was the mystical realm of the sword spirit.

A realm that can only be achieved in the later stages of the Absolute Realm.

Experiencing such a legendary realm firsthand, Wei Zhi'e could not regain his composure.

The immense internal energy flowing through his body and his steel-like muscles were all useless.

An unprecedented sword spirit that obstructed any movement like a ghost.

Can this really be called martial arts?

At that moment, Zhao Hui frowned as he examined the various weapons dropped by the Black Heaven warriors.

"Ha? Look at these bastards?"

Zhao Hui had forbidden them from carrying weapons for several months.

They were so violent and bloodthirsty that they would cause trouble or harm others when drunk.

The weapons on the ground were astonishing.

One had turned a metal bar into a sleek sword.

Another had polished an iron spear into a whip by threading it with a chain.

The most shocking was a long Maitreya Buddha statue that had been carved into a spear.

The shape was so bizarre and cruel that if this creativity had been used for studying, he would have easily passed the imperial exams.

Looking at the Maitreya Buddha's head, which had been meticulously carved into a perfect triangular blade, Zhao Hui clicked his tongue.

"What a despicable bunch. Turning Maitreya Buddha into a triangular Buddha. Do you have no compassion? You'll go to hell."

"Shut up!"

Zhao Hui slumped onto the back of the fallen Wei Zhi'e.

"Did I kill the Black Heaven Great Executioner for nothing?"

The fallen remnants of the Black Heaven were thrashing about.

"Son of a bitch!"

"Rip you to shreds!"

"Scum of the martial world!"

Zhao Hui smirked.

"Rebels. How dare you scum of the martial world insult me?"

That the Black Heaven Great Executioner had been dead for only a few days, and they couldn't bear it and attempted a collective suicide!

Is it true that taking away a person's hope is the cruelest act?

Even cruel and ruthless martial artists had their romantic side.

In those days, they ran like a gale in black robes.

Shouting "Black Heaven! Black Heaven!" and clashing blades in countless battles, it must have been an unforgettable martial world for those men.

"Ugh."

Zhao Hui had overlooked that the remnants of the Black Heaven were also "men."

However, no matter how much he pondered, he could not come up with a solution to continue using them as laborers.

There are many things in this world that cannot be solved with money alone.

"Problem, problem."

The Cao Family Complex Tower had just broken ground.

Without the Black Heaven men, who had been trained through countless drills, it would be impossible to complete the project on schedule.

"How can I win your hearts?"

While Zhao Hui pondered with his chin in hand, Wei Zhi'e's mocking voice reached him.

"Hmph! To win our hearts, your ambition is quite grand! We only endured and waited for the right moment because the Supreme Leader was still alive. We never intended to cooperate from the beginning!"

Fei Yan Gui added.

"Now that the Black Heaven Great Executioner has ascended, we are all dead revenants! That is the law of our sect!"

"Hmm?"

Instantly, Zhao Hui's eagle-like eyes turned to the fallen Fei Yan.

"Did the Black Heaven have a law?"

"Of course! We are the proud conquerors of the south! Can you imagine the Black Heaven operating without a law, as the rulers of Poyang Lake?"

Instantly, Zhao Hui sneered.

Fei Yan's back was drenched in cold sweat, sensing the ominous premonition from Zhao Hui's expression.

"Then recite that law properly. What process is needed to establish a new Black Heaven Great Executioner?"

What is this guy saying?

Fei Yan, as if he had lost his mind, lay on the ground and burst into maniacal laughter.

"Ha ha ha! Madman! The one who destroyed the Black Heaven with his own hands is now trying to establish a new Black Heaven Great Executioner?"

On the other hand, Wei Zhi'e looked at Zhao Hui with a dejected face.

"How do you plan to find the elders of the Black King Department?"

"What is the Black King Department?"

Fei Yan's eyes blazed with fury.

"The highest decision-making body of the Black Heaven, on par with the authority of the leader."

Composed of the elders of the notorious sect, the Black King Department was the most powerful authority in the Black Heaven, sometimes even defying the leader's authority.

This was because they had the right to select the Black Heaven Great Executioner, the symbol of the Black Heaven.

A new Black Heaven Great Executioner could only be established with the unanimous consent of the Black Heaven Eight Kings and the decision of the Black King Department.

"Hmm, where are those old men of the Black King Department now?"

Wei Zhi'e's face was filled with dejection as he muttered.

"The location of the Black King Department is the greatest secret of the Black Heaven. Not even the Eight Kings or the Black Heaven Great Executioner knew it. Perhaps even the leader..."

He trailed off.

He could not bring himself to say that their supreme leader, the Black Heaven Great Executioner, had been waiting for the Black King Department to move.

The last hope of the Black Heaven, the Black King Department.

Just as the righteous side had many retired grandmasters hidden in remote mountains, the notorious side had groups of great masters who had stirred the martial world with blood and thunder.

Without their combined efforts, the Black Heaven could not have been born.

"Then the Black King Department, despite its name, is essentially a separate organization. Since even the leader did not know its location, there must have been no regular communication. So, the decisions made by the Black King Department were unilaterally communicated through secret channels... Hmm, quite arrogant, aren't they? I can already feel their narrow-mindedness and eccentricity."

Wei Zhi'e's pupils trembled violently.

This is the sword deity.

With just a few clues, he accurately grasps the power structure within the Black Heaven and penetrates the rivalries.

What is terrifying about the sword deity is not that he has engraved the sword path of a great sword deity on his body, but the terrifying mind.

The immeasurable strategy in his mind is a kind that the martial world has never experienced.

No one who lives in the Cao Family Trading Company can deny this fact.

"Thank you for the good information. And..."

When the remnants of the Black Heaven felt the strange power that was gradually being released from them.

Sssss-

The various weapons they had dropped on the ground slowly rose into the air.

Creak-

Creak-

Soon, the crude weapons clumped together, crumpled into a sphere, and then melted into a red-hot mass, falling to the ground with a thud.

Everyone's mouths dropped open.

The sword deity's mental power is beyond imagination!

Can such a divine power be possessed by a mere human
