Battle Royale of the Sinners-Chapter 501 New Demon God

Chapter 501 - New Demon God

= Tong's Underground Private Chamber, Under Lu Zhi's Bedroom =

"Everyone is in an uproar, aren't they?"

Tong opened his eyes as he looked at his mentor, Lu Zhi.

"We've too many matters that we have to conclude at once. First, Sun Ce's raid, Sima Fang's death, and then, your daughter…"

Lu Zhi could not continue as he was afraid of angering Tong. He observed the latter's expression, but Tong did now show any sign of disturbance.

On the contrary, his disciple looked like an exhausted worker, who had been through a harsh labor and family problems. It was as if Tong wanted to give up living.

Unbeknownst to Lu Zhi, Tong could see another form of his souls, and he regained the memory of the past accursed life. Tong also connected the dots of why angels in heaven threw him to hell, which might relate to his sins before other reincarnations.

"Maybe I deserve it," Tong lamented, "After all, I was a heck of a tyrant."

"N-No! You did everything for the people! You didn't recklessly wage war, but you dominate them through your strength and wisdom. You've saved millions of lives! Did you know how many innocent commoners died in the other timeline? Over 10 million! How many have died in this world? I doubt a million has died! You've done nothing wrong!"

Lu Zhi misunderstood Tong that the latter regretted what he had done in this world.

Tong gazed at his mentor with a bitter smile, understanding that Lu Zhi referred to this world, not his Dong Zhuo's life.

"I know, master. I know," Tong stood up after the long years of shut-in cultivation. Although his souls had not recovered yet, the frequent relapse injuries never occurred after Tong stabilized his physical foundation.

He was ready for another action.

"I'll be off for half a day. Please take care of the prisoners and Zhang Min's matter for the time being."

Seeing that Tong wanted to go out, Lu Zhi widened his eyes in shock, "Are you sure that you're ready?"

"It's fine. I'm not at my 100% condition yet, but it's enough for taking care of a few 6-wing angels and Lu Bu."

"… I see. Take care of yourself, disciple."

.

As soon as Tong could see the sunlight again, he could see more mysterious things than what he could not see in the past. Every people he met were tied with ethereal dark chains on their ankles, but none of them was aware of them.

Moreover, peasants, who had obtained a soul recently, had another hidden form other than their soul appearance.

Some appeared as cute animals, but some showed up as hideous monsters. Even Tong's master, Lu Zhi, had a hidden soul of a domesticated dog.

As for Tong's souls, all of them had the appearance of a fat man instead of himself in the previous life.

Tong closed his eyes and disabled his eye abilities for a moment. Yet, images of people around the country flashed as if he was dreaming.

The eight-wing archangels and archdemons in Netherworld had this ability. It was the true sight, which enabled them to observe everything in the range of 500km.

Tong could now see every mortal and their true form, including Liu Yang in disguise!

Tong frowned for a moment as he was surprised. Still, he relaxed when he saw that Liu Yang was playing with her daughter as if nothing had happened.

Liu Yang's souls did not contain any malicious intent toward Tong or Medusa anymore.

When he reopened his eyes again, the weird overlapping vision faded.

He resummoned his soul to examine their appearance. Sure enough, their figures returned to Tong's original form.

'No matter who I was, my purpose here doesn't change.'

Eight black wings spread and flapped, launching his body to the sky. Tong flapped his wings one more time. Unlike other 4-wing or 6-wing immortals, the 8-wing power propelled his body forward at a Mach speed.

A sonic boom shockwave distorted the air.

*BOOM*

The loud noise of a sound barrier being broken was audible in Ye for the first time. However, no one but Dong Bai, Sun Shangxiang, and Diaochan understood this phenomenon.

= Jinyang City =

This border city was once a rural area, where every young local had wanted to migrate away as soon as possible. Now, it became an industrial hub, producing important resources for Julu and Ye. Jobs, such as mining supervisors, logistic managers, and warehouse officers became the popular career that commoners sought as their wages were highest among all jobs that peasants without status could do. As such, young people, who didn't want to pursue a military career, came here to test their luck.

Copper, iron, coal, and miscellaneous minerals were gathered from the nearby mines in Jinyang Commandery and collected in this city. Afterward, the city officials would transfer these resources to Julu and Ye, so these cities could refine them into valuable wares, ingots, or weaponry.

However, today, Ding Yuan was not present in his office or the working sites. Instead, he was hiding underground, taking shelter in a panic room that Sima Fang had developed for all governors.

Ding Yuan kept his eyes on the clan chat menu as he was following the news, waiting for Lu Bu or any rescuer to deal with Sun Fang and Ling Tong.

Footstep sound was audible in the room as Sun Fang and Ling Tong were searching for Ding Yuan in his bedroom.

"Where the fuck is that bastard!?"

Sun Fang complaint as it had been 30 minutes since they had been searching for Ding Yuan. However, they could not locate him even though Ding Yuan's subordinates confessed that he returned to his room.

*BOOM*

Ling Tong destroyed Ding Yuan's room, bookshelves, beds, and tables to find a secret door or a hidden passage. Still, he could not find any.

"Let's look for a hidden door or something similar. Those men didn't seem to lie, so Ding Yuan should have escaped through a hidden door somewhere."

Six feet below the ground, Ding Yuan's heart skipped a beat after he had heard the conversation. He held his breath and slowly typed to the clan chat.

Ding Yuan: "They are about to find me. I need help ASAP!"

Ding Yuan: "I'm below my bedroom. The invaders are above me!"

After sending the messages, Ding Yuan slowly exhaled, minimizing his breathing and lowering his noise.

The reply message with @-tag made Ding Yuan jump.

Tong: "@Ding Yuan. I'll be right there. Give me a few seconds."

Ding Yuan widened his eyes in shock and delight. He did not expect that Tong would come to rescue him personally. Moreover, he came out of his secluded cultivation.

The clan chat was in an uproar after Tong had appeared for the first time in years. Everyone congratulated him, believing that an 8-wing demon had finally emerged from his long slumber.

*BOOM*

Ding Yuan could not celebrate with them as he was about to be found by the two angels. He only prayed that Tong would appear as soon as he could.

In Ding Yuan's room, Ling Tong and Sun Fang punched the ground floor at random. Decorated wooden planks shattered into fragments.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

After two more punches, Sun Fang found the stairways to Ding Yuan's current hidden room.

"Found it!"

Without hesitation, Sun Fang leaped down and sprinted through the passageway.

Three seconds later, he found Ding Yuan!

"Ha! There you are!"

Ding Yuan gritted his teeth and spread his two white wings, planning to fight to the death.

"I'm not afraid of you brat!" Ding Yuan pulled out his long sword, "I am the grand general of Bing! I won't surrender to you traitor!"

Sun Fang sneered. He pointed his palm at Ding Yuan.

With one Qi Blast, Ding Yuan would be dead.

*BOOM*

It was not an explosion that caused by Sun Fang's Qi Blast. Someone caused a scene above the ground.

A loud boom came from above, followed by a brief earthquake as if something had landed.

"WHO ARE YOU!?"

Sun Fang heard a panicking voice of Ling Tong from above. He figured that reinforcement from Tong's force might have arrived.

"Tsk!" Sun Fang dashed and punched Ding Yuan's stomach.

"KAH!"

Sun Fang grabbed Ding Yuan's dominant arm and broke it, disarming the latter's sword.

*CRACK*

"AAAHHH!!"

"Come with me!" Sun Fang squeezed Ding Yuan's neck with one hand and dragged him to the surface, planning to use this old governor as a hostage to deal with the reinforcement.

He wanted to use Ding Yuan as a bargaining chip if Lu Bu or Li Feihong were to appear.

The moment he climbed the stairs and see the sunlight again, he was greeted with another system notification and shocking sight.

Before Sun Fang, a demon with 8 black wings had punched through the chest of Ling Tong.

The demon swiped the fledgling officer away as if he were nothing. Ling Tong was sent flying to the sideline and vomited the last cough of his life.

"WHAT!? HOW!?"

Sun Fang reread the clan message in disbelief.

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF CULTIVATING!!"

Tong raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What makes you think that I wouldn't come out?"

Without waiting for Sun Fang to react, Tong teleported and appeared behind Sun Fang.

Just like what Zhang Min did to Ling Cao, Tong enveloped his aura around his left hand and stabbed through Sun Fang's back, exiting his chest. As for the other hand, Tong cut Sun Fang's hand, which was holding Ding Yuan's neck.

Sun Fang stared at Tong's hand in confusion and shock.

"You know, I have been thinking about this day. I always have this fantasy about finding you and killing you, but I can't seem to find the right words to mock you at this final moment," Tong muttered as he had a complicated feeling at the moment.

Tong recognized Sun Fang right away by just a simple glance. With his new vision of 8-wing cultivation, he could see through Sun Fang's past lives.

It was the person who killed Tong when he was a police officer.

Moreover, it was the very asshole that killed Hua Shi!

"To be honest, I want to torture you. I want to cut you a thousand times and force your intestines and your shit back to your mouth… Well, for some reason, I've lost all the drive for revenge, you see."

Tong slowly pulled out his hand and allowed Sun Fang to collapse on the ground.

"Ugh! Self-Heal!"

Sun Fang regenerated his wound. He spread his wings to escape.

But Tong jumped and appeared behind Sun Fang again.

Tong's right foot stomped on Sun Fang's back and sent him back down to earth.

Tong reinforced his hands and turned them into knives once more. He cut Sun Fang's wings, one by one.

All wings were plucked out!

All Sun Fang's souls were destroyed!

The consciousness of Sun Fang shook as his souls disintegrated. His death was imminent!

"Self-Heal! Self-Heal!"

In a panic, Sun Fang kept casting his life-saving skill, but it didn't work anymore.

"I want to forgive you, but you're too stubborn. Had you begged me for mercy, I would have amended for what you had done and sheltered you as we do with Li Feihong, Te Langpu, or Liu Yang. Well…"

Tong gazed at Sun Fang in a pity, "Goodbye. I hope we won't run into each other again in the next life."

Sun Fang looked at Tong, burning his face into his last memory.

He had many things to say to Tong, but no word could come out from his mouth anymore.

Before his consciousness faded forever, the past memory when he was with Li Jing flashed back. It was the best time he had in this life and all the lives he had experienced.

'Li Jing… we should have abandoned our greed and lived in peace…'
