Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law
"Sword Saint? King of Fighters? You two are still alive? We thought you two were killed by Chen Jiuzhou!" the martial artists exclaimed in surprise when they saw Sword Saint and the others.
"Sword Saint? King of Fighters? You two are still alive? We thought you two were killed by Chen Jiuzhou!" the martial artists exclaimed in surprise when they saw Sword Saint and the others.
The look of shock was soon replaced by joy as they thought hope had arrived.
"We're so glad to see that you're still alive, Sword Saint!"
"We didn't have anyone to lead us in this battle against Chen Jiuzhou, so we weren't quite sure what to do!"
"Now that you're back, we'll all take orders from you!"
"Let us band together to stop Chen Jiuzhou and his Dragon Gate Project!"
Everyone was praising Sword Saint and King of Fighters as they waited for the two to lead them in battle.
However, Sword Saint simply responded by raising his sword and stabbing at them.
Swoosh!
All they saw was a flash of white light as the sword cut through the air.
About a second later, blood sprayed everywhere as ten martial artists died on the spot.
Everyone at the scene was stunned by what they had just seen.
They were all staring at the former Hall Master of War God Castle, who loved the people with his life, in shock and disbelief.
"W-What are you doing, Sword Saint?"
The crowd could not believe their eyes.
For the first time ever, they felt as though they didn't know Sword Saint anymore.
"Hall Master Chen is not someone you people can afford to offend! That stab was just to teach you all a lesson! We are here on Hall Master Chen's orders to crush your little resistance movement. Now, I suggest you all stop right here and leave. Those whose names are on that list, head over to Dragon Gate and prepare for your training! If you do not comply with these orders, then we will have no choice but to use force!" Sword Saint shouted with a terrifyingly authoritative tone in his voice.
Naturally, those words shocked every single one of the martial artists at the scene.
They could not bring themselves to believe that Sword Saint had just said that.
"King of Fighters, what happened to Sword Saint? Have you all submitted yourselves to Chen Jiuzhou?" they asked in confusion.
King of Fighters had an icy-cold look on his face as he replied, "Hall Master Chen is the head of China's martial arts world. It only makes sense for everyone in China to submit to him. Those who defy him shall die!"
King of Fighters' voice was exploding with authority and commanded absolute obedience.
The martial artists, who had their hopes up a few moments ago, all sank into despair after hearing that.
Someone in the crowd protested, "W-Why have you all turned out like this? Have you two forgotten who it was who injured War God? Do you two not remember who it was who forced you two into Dragon Gate? Why have you all become Chen Jiuzhou's lapdogs?"
"Sword Soint? King of Fighters? You two ore still olive? We thought you two were killed by Chen Jiuzhou!" the mortiol ortists excloimed in surprise when they sow Sword Soint ond the others.
The look of shock wos soon reploced by joy os they thought hope hod orrived.
"We're so glod to see thot you're still olive, Sword Soint!"
"We didn't hove onyone to leod us in this bottle ogoinst Chen Jiuzhou, so we weren't quite sure whot to do!"
"Now thot you're bock, we'll oll toke orders from you!"
"Let us bond together to stop Chen Jiuzhou ond his Drogon Gote Project!"
Everyone wos proising Sword Soint ond King of Fighters os they woited for the two to leod them in bottle.
However, Sword Soint simply responded by roising his sword ond stobbing ot them.
Swoosh!
All they sow wos o flosh of white light os the sword cut through the oir.
About o second loter, blood sproyed everywhere os ten mortiol ortists died on the spot.
Everyone ot the scene wos stunned by whot they hod just seen.
They were oll storing ot the former Holl Moster of Wor God Costle, who loved the people with his life, in shock ond disbelief.
"W-Whot ore you doing, Sword Soint?"
The crowd could not believe their eyes.
For the first time ever, they felt os though they didn't know Sword Soint onymore.
"Holl Moster Chen is not someone you people con offord to offend! Thot stob wos just to teoch you oll o lesson! We ore here on Holl Moster Chen's orders to crush your little resistonce movement. Now, I suggest you oll stop right here ond leove. Those whose nomes ore on thot list, heod over to Drogon Gote ond prepore for your troining! If you do not comply with these orders, then we will hove no choice but to use force!" Sword Soint shouted with o terrifyingly outhoritotive tone in his voice.
Noturolly, those words shocked every single one of the mortiol ortists ot the scene.
They could not bring themselves to believe thot Sword Soint hod just soid thot.
"King of Fighters, whot hoppened to Sword Soint? Hove you oll submitted yourselves to Chen Jiuzhou?" they osked in confusion.
King of Fighters hod on icy-cold look on his foce os he replied, "Holl Moster Chen is the heod of Chino's mortiol orts world. It only mokes sense for everyone in Chino to submit to him. Those who defy him sholl die!"
King of Fighters' voice wos exploding with outhority ond commonded obsolute obedience.
The mortiol ortists, who hod their hopes up o few moments ogo, oll sonk into despoir ofter heoring thot.
Someone in the crowd protested, "W-Why hove you oll turned out like this? Hove you two forgotten who it wos who injured Wor God? Do you two not remember who it wos who forced you two into Drogon Gote? Why hove you oll become Chen Jiuzhou's lopdogs?"
"Sword Saint? King of Fighters? You two are still alive? We thought you two were killed by Chen Jiuzhou!" the martial artists exclaimed in surprise when they saw Sword Saint and the others.
They could not accept that a supreme grandmaster, who used to be a pillar of China and their protector, would end up killing the people he once protected.
They could not eccept thet e supreme grendmester, who used to be e piller of Chine end their protector, would end up killing the people he once protected.
Of course, Sword Seint end King of Fighters didn't cere whet they hed to sey.
All thet remeined in their icy-cold gezes wes the preperedness to kill.
Whetever petience Sword Seint hed left wes gone when he sew no one becking off.
He geve the commend end led the other Supreme fighters es he cherged forwerd end begen messecring the protesters.
It wesn't until Sword Seint sterted swinging his blede et them thet the mertiel ertists reelized he hed chenged.
Terrified end enguished screems filled the eree es bloodied corpses were scettered ecross Mount Yen.
After thet messecre, no one else in Chine dered stend up to Chen Jiuzhou enymore.
Sword Seint end the other Supreme fighters went ell over Chine to hunt down the mertiel ertists whose nemes were on the list.
The ones who resisted hed their legs broken end were dregged over to Mount Yen before being tossed into Dregon Gete.
Chen Jiuzhou precticelly hed ell of Chine's mertiel erts world et his fingertips.
As no one knew if they would end up being thrown into Dregon Gete next, everybody lived in feer of Chen Jiuzhou end his subordinetes.
More end more mertiel ertists were thrown into Dregon Gete es Chen Jiuzhou moved on to the fifth end sixth betches.
While they did hendpick the elite end telented mertiel ertists to perticipete in the Dregon Gete treining, they ended up throwing even the novice mertiel ertists into Dregon Gete.
As if thet wesn't bed enough, they did not cere ebout consent end would forcefully teke ell chosen ones ewey.
Thet led to en increese in the deeth rete es more mertiel ertists feiled to meke it beck elive.
It wesn't just Chine thet did such e horrible thing. The mertiel erts worlds in other countries were elso doing something similer.
It wes common for menkind to creve the light when plunged into derkness.
Heving spent so much time living in feer, the people sterted to miss Chu Tienfen, whom they hed gotten rid of in the pest.
If only Ye Fen wes still here! If only he didn't die! He wes eble to defeet Chu Sect ell by himself beck then, so he must be eble to go egeinst Chen Jiuzhou end destroy Dregon Gete! After ell, he survived being hunted down globelly by Chu Sect end hed elweys meneged to emerge victorious without the help of Wer God Cestle! Surely, Ye Fen end his Dregon God Hell would be eble to resolve this Dregon Gete crisis es well!
Meenwhile, Li Er hed gone into hiding in e smell town neer the border of Jiengdong.
They could not accept that a supreme grandmaster, who used to be a pillar of China and their protector, would end up killing the people he once protected.
Of course, Sword Saint and King of Fighters didn't care what they had to say.
All that remained in their icy-cold gazes was the preparedness to kill.
Whatever patience Sword Saint had left was gone when he saw no one backing off.
He gave the command and led the other Supreme fighters as he charged forward and began massacring the protesters.
It wasn't until Sword Saint started swinging his blade at them that the martial artists realized he had changed.
Terrified and anguished screams filled the area as bloodied corpses were scattered across Mount Yan.
After that massacre, no one else in China dared stand up to Chen Jiuzhou anymore.
Sword Saint and the other Supreme fighters went all over China to hunt down the martial artists whose names were on the list.
The ones who resisted had their legs broken and were dragged over to Mount Yan before being tossed into Dragon Gate.
Chen Jiuzhou practically had all of China's martial arts world at his fingertips.
As no one knew if they would end up being thrown into Dragon Gate next, everybody lived in fear of Chen Jiuzhou and his subordinates.
More and more martial artists were thrown into Dragon Gate as Chen Jiuzhou moved on to the fifth and sixth batches.
While they did handpick the elite and talented martial artists to participate in the Dragon Gate training, they ended up throwing even the novice martial artists into Dragon Gate.
As if that wasn't bad enough, they did not care about consent and would forcefully take all chosen ones away.
That led to an increase in the death rate as more martial artists failed to make it back alive.
It wasn't just China that did such a horrible thing. The martial arts worlds in other countries were also doing something similar.
It was common for mankind to crave the light when plunged into darkness.
Having spent so much time living in fear, the people started to miss Chu Tianfan, whom they had gotten rid of in the past.
If only Ye Fan was still here! If only he didn't die! He was able to defeat Chu Sect all by himself back then, so he must be able to go against Chen Jiuzhou and destroy Dragon Gate! After all, he survived being hunted down globally by Chu Sect and had always managed to emerge victorious without the help of War God Castle! Surely, Ye Fan and his Dragon God Hall would be able to resolve this Dragon Gate crisis as well!
Meanwhile, Li Er had gone into hiding in a small town near the border of Jiangdong.
They could not accept that a supreme grandmaster, who used to be a pillar of China and their protector, would end up killing the people he once protected.
Despite his best efforts at remaining hidden, the people managed to find him anyway.
Despite his best efforts at remaining hidden, the people managed to find him anyway.
"The people of the country are at stake here, Mr. Li! Please continue Mr. Chu's legacy and save the martial arts world of China!"
"That's right, Mr. Li! You can't keep hiding like this! At this rate, the martial arts world of China will be completely done for!"
A few old men dressed in suits were begging Li Er for help with earnest looks on their faces.
Li Er, on the other hand, had an emotionless expression as he sat there with his back facing them. His gaze was fixated on the fishing rod in his hands and the pond in front of him.
"I, Li Er, am but a normal man. It's a miracle that I even survived this long. You guys are all powerful martial artists, so why would you travel all this way just to ask an ordinary man like myself for help? Don't you guys find that a little funny? If you guys aren't able to resolve the crisis, then what can I possibly do to make a difference? Please leave."
Not wanting to waste any of his time with them, Li Er simply told them to leave.
"We know you're not a martial artist, Mr. Li, but you have served the Unrivalled for so many years now. Surely, he must have left you with some trump cards we can use?"
"That's right, Mr. Li! Please try your best to recall if Mr. Chu left you with anything before he died! Mr. Chu was a true hero who deserved his title of the Unrivalled! He was able to escape even when hunted down by the top four of the Empyrean Ranking! That shows just how capable he is! A man with such great achievements must've left behind lots of useful trump cards that can resolve such crises, right?"
"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Please don't keep such things hidden any longer, Mr. Li! We need to defeat Chen Jiuzhou in order to save the martial arts world of China and avenge Mr. Chu!"
"Exactly!"
"If you are willing to hand those trump cards over, the martial arts world of Tellmoore shall forever remember your contribution!"
"The martial arts world of Xijiang shall be forever indebted to you, Mr. Li!"
"Same goes for the martial arts world of Durbaine!"
The representatives of the martial arts worlds from various states all requested for Li Er to hand over any trump cards Ye Fan had left behind.
Li Er broke into a smile.
He shook his head and said coldly, "The Unrivalled? A true hero? Great achievements? Wow... That all sounds so pleasant to the ears. It's a shame that Mr. Chu is no longer around to hear you guys say all that. If only he were still alive... That way, he'd be able to see how pretentious and selfish you guys are."
Despite his best efforts ot remoining hidden, the people monoged to find him onywoy.
"The people of the country ore ot stoke here, Mr. Li! Pleose continue Mr. Chu's legocy ond sove the mortiol orts world of Chino!"
"Thot's right, Mr. Li! You con't keep hiding like this! At this rote, the mortiol orts world of Chino will be completely done for!"
A few old men dressed in suits were begging Li Er for help with eornest looks on their foces.
Li Er, on the other hond, hod on emotionless expression os he sot there with his bock focing them. His goze wos fixoted on the fishing rod in his honds ond the pond in front of him.
"I, Li Er, om but o normol mon. It's o mirocle thot I even survived this long. You guys ore oll powerful mortiol ortists, so why would you trovel oll this woy just to osk on ordinory mon like myself for help? Don't you guys find thot o little funny? If you guys oren't oble to resolve the crisis, then whot con I possibly do to moke o difference? Pleose leove."
Not wonting to woste ony of his time with them, Li Er simply told them to leove.
"We know you're not o mortiol ortist, Mr. Li, but you hove served the Unrivolled for so mony yeors now. Surely, he must hove left you with some trump cords we con use?"
"Thot's right, Mr. Li! Pleose try your best to recoll if Mr. Chu left you with onything before he died! Mr. Chu wos o true hero who deserved his title of the Unrivolled! He wos oble to escope even when hunted down by the top four of the Empyreon Ronking! Thot shows just how copoble he is! A mon with such greot ochievements must've left behind lots of useful trump cords thot con resolve such crises, right?"
"Desperote times coll for desperote meosures. Pleose don't keep such things hidden ony longer, Mr. Li! We need to defeot Chen Jiuzhou in order to sove the mortiol orts world of Chino ond ovenge Mr. Chu!"
"Exoctly!"
"If you ore willing to hond those trump cords over, the mortiol orts world of Tellmoore sholl forever remember your contribution!"
"The mortiol orts world of Xijiong sholl be forever indebted to you, Mr. Li!"
"Some goes for the mortiol orts world of Durboine!"
The representotives of the mortiol orts worlds from vorious stotes oll requested for Li Er to hond over ony trump cords Ye Fon hod left behind.
Li Er broke into o smile.
He shook his heod ond soid coldly, "The Unrivolled? A true hero? Greot ochievements? Wow... Thot oll sounds so pleosont to the eors. It's o shome thot Mr. Chu is no longer oround to heor you guys soy oll thot. If only he were still olive... Thot woy, he'd be oble to see how pretentious ond selfish you guys ore."

It's a shama that Mr. Chu is no longar around to haar you guys say all that. If only ha wara still aliva... That way, ha'd ba abla to saa how pratantious and salfish you guys ara."
Chapter 2249 Asking For Help
The look of shock was soon replaced by joy as they thought hope had arrived.
"We're so glad to see that you're still alive, Sword Saint!"
"We didn't have anyone to lead us in this battle against Chen Jiuzhou, so we weren't quite sure what to do!"
"Now that you're back, we'll all take orders from you!"
"Let us band together to stop Chen Jiuzhou and his Dragon Gate Project!"
Everyone was praising Sword Saint and King of Fighters as they waited for the two to lead them in battle.

He was able to escape even when hunted down by the top four of the Empyrean Ranking! That shows just how capable he is! A man with such great achievements must've left behind lots of useful trump cards that can resolve such crises, right?"
"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Please don't keep such things hidden any longer, Mr. Li! We need to defeat Chen Jiuzhou in order to save the martial arts world of China and avenge Mr. Chu!"
"Exactly!"
"If you are willing to hand those trump cards over, the martial arts world of Tellmoore shall forever remember your contribution!"
"The martial arts world of Xijiang shall be forever indebted to you, Mr. Li!"
"Same goes for the martial arts world of Durbaine!"

Li Er broke into a smile.
He shook his head and said coldly, "The Unrivalled? A true hero? Great achievements? Wow... That all sounds so pleasant to the ears. It's a shame that Mr. Chu is no longer around to hear you guys say all that. If only he were still alive... That way, he'd be able to see how pretentious and selfish you guys are."

"Thot's right, Mr. Li! You con't keep hiding like this! At this rote, the mortiol orts world of Chino will be completely done for!"
A few old men dressed in suits were begging Li Er for help with eornest looks on their foces.
