"If you can live until graduation, you'll definitely become a strong fighter."
"I'll take your word for it."
Huang Shanya stroked Wangcai's head...
Seeing Duan Ming hesitate to speak, he asked, "Do you want to ask why I suddenly disappeared back then, and why I'm working as a security guard here now?"
"You could tell that?"
"You can't hide secrets in your eyes."
"So why did you suddenly disappear back then?"
"Because I promised someone I'd do something. Do you know what matters most in life?"
"Keeping your word?"
"Keeping your word, my ass. It's living without regrets... I've had too many regrets in my life already. I didn't want that to become another one, so I left the Demon Suppression Army."
Duan Ming was very curious what could have made Huang Shanya disappear for so long.
But he didn't ask. Since Huang Shanya hadn't said, he must have had his reasons.
A brief silence fell over the security booth.
After a long while, Huang Shanya continued, "Now that I think about it, I actually miss those days in the Demon Suppression Army, eating in the wind and sleeping under the stars."
"Then since you've come back, why didn't you return to the Demon Suppression Army?"
Huang Shanya's hand paused as he reached for sunflower seeds. He slowly looked outside:
"He's come out!"
Ten meters opposite the security booth, a figure wrapped from head to toe in black stood with the wind at his back, a katana held in his arms.
Golden... Qi...
So strong!
Duan Ming's pupils contracted sharply!
Wangcai seemed to sense the danger too and bared his teeth at the man in black.
Huang Shanya stroked Wangcai's head reassuringly and said to Duan Ming, "If you're not afraid of death, you can stay in here and watch. I guarantee you'll never forget the fight that's about to happen."
"Who is he?"
"The Church of the Dark Night's Ghost Samurai!"
Duan Ming froze.
Why did the facts not match the intelligence at all?
Hadn't they said the enemy was going to sabotage the power grid?
So why had Ghost Samurai appeared here?
And Huang Shanya seemed to have known in advance.
He hurriedly took out his phone and called Du Qinggang.
No one answered...
He sent a text. No one replied...
Huang Shanya took off his security guard's cap, put it on the table, and walked out of the booth.
He stood facing the wind with his hands behind his back. In the fierce gale, his hunched frame looked like an impregnable wall.
"You're very good at concealing your aura, but you hid it so well that it seemed a little abnormal. Judging by how you're dressed, you must be the Church of the Dark Night's Ghost Samurai, right?"
"Human Weapon Huang Shanya, I've long heard of your great name!"
The raspy voice carried a foreign accent.
"If I'm not mistaken, you didn't come to sabotage the power grid. You came to kill me."
"That's right. Sabotaging the power grid was just a ruse to draw everyone else away and give me a chance to kill you one-on-one. You're Human Weapon Huang Shanya, one of the human race's sources of faith. Even though you've lived in seclusion for more than ten years, you're still like a god in many people's hearts! Once word spreads that you died at the hands of our Church of the Dark Night, the human race's morale will surely take a blow! And our Church of the Dark Night's momentum will soar!"
"Human race this, human race that. You make it sound like your mother wasn't human... I can't even get any peace working as a security guard."
Huang Shanya took off his jacket and laid it on the ground.
Through his white Chinese-style jacket, Duan Ming saw five Divine Marks snaking down his back!
From his shoulders all the way down his back.
White! Green! Blue! Purple! Gold!
A very strong stream of golden Qi appeared.
"Actually, I've wanted to fight you for a long time. Even if it weren't for the Church of the Dark Night, once I learned you were still alive, I would have come looking for you to see which of us was stronger!"
Whoosh!
As Ghost Samurai spoke, a red Ghost Samurai Blood Robe appeared as if by magic.
A fearsome ghost mask also appeared on his face, with two sharp fangs.
Now, the true Ghost Samurai had appeared!
The sky-filling killing aura was so suffocating that it was hard to breathe.
"But after all these years, you've grown old. I wonder how much of your former strength you still have?"
Huang Shanya said unhurriedly, "I don't know how much I have left, but killing you shouldn't be a problem."
As soon as the words fell, a furious aura erupted from him.
With a whoosh, he moved so fast that he vanished from sight.
No more talk. He attacked at once.
In an instant, Huang Shanya charged up to Ghost Samurai and raised his fist high.
Veins bulged on his hand as he swung his fist with a whoosh, bringing a fierce gust with it.
In the space of just two blinks, Huang Shanya threw ten punches in succession.
Bang, bang!
The katana in Ghost Samurai's hand canceled out most of the tremendous impact, but his body was still driven steadily backward.
"So fast!"
Duan Ming scarcely dared to breathe, afraid that breathing too loudly would affect Huang Shanya's performance.
Huang Shanya's punches were so fast that he could barely make out a few afterimages.
Shing.
Ghost Samurai drew his sword.
The moment the blade left its sheath, Huang Shanya felt a tremendous pressure.
It seemed the gravity in the surrounding space had grown stronger... more than tenfold!
That sword had to be some kind of forbidden object!
Slash!
Duan Ming wasn't sure what had happened. It sounded as though Huang Shanya had been struck.
Only after Huang Shanya had thrown dozens more punches did a bloody line slowly appear on his back.
His gaze was resolute, like a fierce tiger's, as if he feared no pain.
Rumble!
Rain poured down as dozens of flashes of blade light flickered.
Crescent-shaped arcs of sword wind intertwined, cleaving even the raindrops in two.
Rain washed the blood from the cuts on Huang Shanya's body.
When the strong fought, it seemed the weather was never good.
Even after taking several cuts, he hadn't made a sound.
Huang Shanya's gaze tracked the flashes of blade light before him.
He knew this man was strong! And the sword in his hand was no ordinary weapon!
That Ghost Samurai outfit had to be his Power of God.
Every one of Huang Shanya's punches was powerful enough to destroy a large truck, but the outfit absorbed most of the force.
He didn't know whether the outfit had any other effects...
He seized an opening and smashed a fist toward Ghost Samurai's face.
But just as he was about to connect, the gravity in the space suddenly grew even stronger! His hand dropped several inches and struck Ghost Samurai in the chest.
The gravity had suddenly grown stronger!
Was it because of that sword?
This man didn't seem to be affected by the gravity.
Struck in the chest, Ghost Samurai was driven two steps backward.
He let out a cold chuckle and raised the sword in his hand.
Suddenly, five more Ghost Samurais appeared around Huang Shanya, making six in all!
The six Ghost Samurais were identical, without the slightest difference.
Huang Shanya's gaze darkened.
How had five more suddenly appeared?
Were they clones or afterimages?
It was most likely another effect of the outfit.
He just didn't know whether these five sudden clones could inflict actual damage on him.
If they could, that would be rather troublesome.
"Ghost Shadow Slash!"
Swish, swish, swish!
The sound of blades cutting through the air came without pause as the six Ghost Samurais relentlessly attacked Huang Shanya.
Gradually, more and more wounds appeared on Huang Shanya's body.
With gravity this strong, every movement took tremendous effort.
Even so, he was still too fast for the naked eye to see clearly.
Huang Shanya retreated several steps in succession. Once he had moved away from Ghost Samurai, the surrounding gravity returned to normal.
All six clones could actually inflict real damage on him!
They were just less powerful.
By less powerful, Huang Shanya meant compared with when there had been only one Ghost Samurai.
In fact, every swing from each Ghost Samurai could now slice through a large tree as easily as chopping vegetables.
If he hadn't been protected by powerful Qi, he would already have been hacked to pieces.
