Chapter 204 The Illusion of Time
"!"
Kuroki turned his head in shock.
But there was nothing in front of me.
"call……"
Kuroki breathed a sigh of relief.
It was indeed a hallucination.
After all, it was possible for them to appear so close behind him without him noticing anything.
They must be at least a master assassin of the same realm, or a high-level master.
There's no reason for someone like that to be here.
Just as he thought he was hallucinating and relaxed, he turned around.
But then they discovered that a silver-haired boy dressed in black had appeared in front of them at some point, with a knife hanging at his waist.
He was surrounded by a faint, dreamy blue light.
The torrential rain pierced through him, as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but a phantom.
A bead of cold sweat seeped from Kuroki's forehead.
He stared blankly at the handsome young man in front of him, not daring to move.
It's as if the slightest movement will result in instant death!
This intuition was incredibly strong!
"Mr. Shirakawa..." Ueno Harue's weak voice was filled with surprise.
Upon hearing this name, Kuroki's pupils instantly contracted.
He knew the name.
The perpetrator suspected of wiping out Kitahara Heavy Industries, known as the Tyrant!
It turned out to be him!
The person behind Harue Ueno is actually this ruthless individual!!
Kuroki's heart trembled violently, an indescribable panic spreading through his mind, making his hands and feet ice cold, and his brain almost stopped thinking.
"You are already dead," the boy suddenly said, glancing at him with his pale golden eyes.
Kuroki didn't react in time.
"...Huh?"
"You are dead."
The silver-haired boy continued speaking, then patiently added another sentence.
"I've already killed you with this sword."
Only then did Kuroki notice the katana at his waist.
The azure scabbard, the hilt wrapped with crimson rope, the perfect curve, the crisp, clear aura emanating from the scabbard... it was the family treasure that Ueno Yusuke had once told him about.
Wait... he said he already killed me? With which knife?
"Click."
Kuroki's arm fell off, its cut surface perfectly smooth.
"...Huh?"
Kuroki stared blankly at the scene.
next second.
His vision began to swirl, his consciousness blurred, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Before he died, he only heard one last sentence.
"I told you, you're dead."
Jiang Yuan said calmly.
Tachi Aokiri + Setsuna.
This allowed his slashing speed to reach a terrifying level!
So much so that even after being killed, the target can still survive for a period of time.
Like... a phantom of time.
"Thump."
Upon seeing this, Ueno Harue was completely relieved and collapsed to the ground, holding the already unconscious Yukiha.
Jiang Yuan looked at Ueno Harue, his gaze distant.
I have done what I promised you.
"The karmic connection between us should come to an end."
A ghostly light emanated from the palm.
He used his mental power to invade Ueno Harue's mental world, controlling her to take out all the items stored in the system warehouse and throw them into Lanlan's belly world.
Then remove the mental imprint left in her mind.
After doing all this.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Ye and Miyata Yumi who had come in front of him, and said to Miyata Yumi, "Send them off this island."
"Huh?! Hu ...
"Can you do it?"
"It's possible, but..."
"You don't want to?"
"Yes, yes, yes... ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh, alright." Although Yumi Miyata was reluctant, she still accepted the task.
"Let's go, Ye," Jiang Yuan said.
Night nodded and followed him into the darkness of the downpour.
...............
The night is not over yet.
The monsters that were rampaging through the city were eliminated.
But dealing with the aftermath of the disaster is even more troublesome and difficult.
The injured were screaming, the wounded were crying in the ruins, and the incessant downpour was even more unsettling.
Inside a ramen shop in an alley.
Tonight, only two customers are sitting at the counter eating char siu ramen.
One big and one small.
They look more like siblings based on their age.
"Night, do you know where I can trade and gather information?"
"Is Master referring to the Paradise Pavilion?"
"Paradise Pavilion?"
"Yes, that's the largest underground organization on the island, operating the largest casino and underground boxing ring. It's recognized by the three major families, and you can get any kind of information there."
"Do you know where the Paradise Pavilion is?"
"Know."
……
Paradise Pavilion.
"Bliss, bliss~~"
The blond-haired boy, Lian, soaked contentedly in a bath filled with high-level potions, his face beaming with pleasure.
"After being pounded by a snake, taking a medicinal bath prepared by Sakura is just so refreshing!!"
"Isn't this the value of being alive?"
……
Inside a Japanese-style house.
"This...this is impossible!"
The beautiful woman received a piece of intelligence and was extremely shocked.
"What's wrong, Sakura?"
"The shadowy snake asked."
Sakura said, "Just now, a ninth-tier Grandmaster from the Jingu family and Muto Tsukasa... died."
"What!" the snake exclaimed in surprise.
"What happened? Who did it? Could it be...?"
The beautiful woman nodded with a wry smile.
"It must be him."
"That tyrant."
"Gen Shirakawa!"
"No one else but him would do this, nor would anyone else have the ability."
The snake, its voice filled with shock, stammered, "But... how is this possible?"
"How did he do that?!"
"I don't know. But it seems that Young Master Lian's decision to stay away from Grand Tournament was the right one."
The beautiful woman, Sakura, sighed, "That guy is less of a tyrant and more like a demon king. He single-handedly plunged this artificial island, Alaya, into an unprecedented storm."
Suddenly, the barrier surrounding the entire Paradise Palace began to distort.
The beautiful woman's pretty face turned cold, and the pressure of an eighth-level martial artist erupted.
"Who goes there?!"
"How dare they bypass the main entrance and trespass into the Paradise Mansion?!"
next second.
A tall and slender figure appeared directly in front of her.
Sakura saw his expression change drastically, becoming shocked and horrified.
"You, you are...!"
"Shirakawa... Gen?!"
