Chapter 491: 273 Currently commit (4000) _2 Chapter 491: 273 Currently commit (4000) _2 “There’s no need for this, you three. You can’t kill me. As we are all here for the Gold Antique Exhibition, why not sit down and discuss it?”

As the Black Peacock fled, he uttered these words. Suddenly behind him there was an intense sound of air splitting, and the Black Peacock flickered to the left like a shadow, looking like a phantasm.

Boom! There was a two-meter diameter hole left on the spot. Rubble splattered in all directions, creating a spiderweb of cracks.

Casio withdrew his fist and seized the edges of the pit. His shocking burst of strength from all four limbs propelled him out like a shell.

Another punch came.

With a squelching sound, the peak of his fist ripped through the back of the Black Peacock, slicing his whole body in two from the spine. But bizarrely, the Black Peacock seemed to vaporize like smoke, shaking and blurring slightly. He then reformed, collapsing and condensing like flowing water.

Next to them, a body appeared that was completely intact.

This peculiar secret technique was nigh on inexplicable. Even Feng Liusi and Sheng Feinan’s continuous attacks had no clear effect. As they ceaselessly pursued and attacked, all they could do was rip at his smoky body over and over. Unbeknownst to them, they had already crossed halfway through a city block. The four figures appeared at an incredible speed in a secluded alleyway.

The Black Peacock halted.

He was wearing a black robe, standing at a crossroad. A slight breeze ruffled his robe as his face changed into the likeness of someone else. The next second, his face changed again, becoming a middle-aged man.

The Black Peacock put a mask on his face. His voice became hoarse and sounded like someone striking flint, possessing a certain raw quality.

“You can’t kill me. Maybe I can’t beat the Ghost Knife, but my survival capabilities far exceed his. You have a shard of the gate,” he said, looking at Casio from behind the deepness of his mask, the tone of his voice elegant again, “why don’t you join our Gate? With your strength as a veteran fighter, you’re totally qualified. The rest of the members would have no objections.”

Casio stopped, and said: “I have seen the new steward of the Black Mechanism, Grim Reaper Amos. You should know him.”

At the mention of this name, the Black Peacock’s expression shifted, as though he felt Casio had learned something from Amos: “That’s completely different. Amos was quite weak when he was in the organization, so of course he was used as an experiment specimen. But you’re different. For a strong person like you, respect will be given wherever you go. What’s more, since you already have a shard of the gate, you qualify directly as a core member.”

Seeing that Casio didn’t make a move, it seemed like he truly held some thoughts of blending in, and he continued to reveal some information. “I bet you have received the shard of the gate but don’t know how to fully utilise it. Within the Gate Organization, there’s a detailed usage guide for the shards. It will definitely bring you surprises. This is the secret technique that the leader has researched. It’s the major attraction that brought us to join the organization…”

“Wouldn’t you be interested?”

The Black Peacock looked at Casio with a smile. Although his whole face was obscured, the glint in his eyes revealed his certain intentions.

“You’re just stalling for time.”

Casio didn’t reply, he just stated calmly. He was able to deduce certain intentions of the Black Peacock. Yes, he had some real intent to draw him in, but the larger part was just him stalling for time.

“You don’t really seem as calm as you show. I am sure this secret technique has serious side effects. Are you waiting for the reinforcement from the Gate organization?” Casio shook his head. “Funny enough, I am also waiting.”

During the pursuit of the Black Peacock, Casio found that his revitalising energy was incredibly high and his methods were numerous. Their previous plan to take advantage of the Black Peacock’s unpreparedness now seemed unlikely. At most, he could be injured and made to suffer the side effects of the secret technique.

While the Black Peacock was attempting to escape, he communicated with Casio. At a glance, it seemed like he was trying to win him over, and though there was some real intent, most of it seemed to serve other purposes. After weighing up his options, Casio thought it better to let the Black Peacock proceed with his intentions.

If they couldn’t kill the Black Peacock, then they may as well take down the reinforcements.

As for what the Black Peacock had mentioned earlier about the Gate Organization having a guide to use the shard of the gate, inviting him to join them was out of the question. Not to mention that they had attacked the Ghost Knife Garoro and seriously injured him, let alone cornering him to the ultimate desperation in the real world by the fighters of the Gate Organization.

Casio showed no goodwill towards this organization.

The mere fact of the destruction of the Wind Elephant Gate during the Sect Destruction War was suggested due to the advice of a senior member of the Gate Organization named Xiadu. He saw the organization in the same light as the dark creatures.

Rather than making such an attempt to align himself with this organization, he preferred to discover its secrets through each retrospection. In front of the extraordinary powers, the so-called secrets were bound to expose themselves eventually. He was confident enough to do this on his own.

Listening to Casio, the Black Peacock’s expression shifted. Before he managed to respond, the three individuals didn’t wish to hear more from him.

Seizing the opportunity, they surged forward, an incredible aura exploding from them.

All the present were veteran fighters, you could say the cream of the crop of the Secret Martial Arts World. Every move they made was incredibly destructive, in just a moment half of a perfectly smooth street had been reduced to rubble.

The Black Peacock indeed possessed strange secret techniques, seeming to have the ability to turn into a smoky existence that could dissipate a lot of damage. But, when faced with the joint attack of the three, he could only evade passively and was unable to effectively counterattack. Thus, throughout the chase, aside from that strange secret technique, the Black Peacock did not use any other offensive moves. Whether this was due to excessive consumption or was a side effect of the secret technique, no one knew.

The four tangled and fought all the way to the edge of the city district.

Before anyone realized, a group of seven or eight people sprang out from the alley. Male and female, old and young, each person exuded a formidable aura, their eyes cold and ruthless.

The leader was a bald and strong man, dressed in a black jacket studded with spikes, with one eye covered by a bandage. He had a robust body, his muscles bulging, and wore knuckle dusters on his hands.

As soon as the strong man appeared, he saw the Black Peacock and the three others in a standoff in the distance. He looked solemn, led his squad forward, and loudly shouted, “Lord Black Peacock!”

The Black Peacock stiffened, his worst fear had finally come true. What Casio had said earlier was actually very simple, if they can’t kill him, then they would kill the support team from the sect that came to aid him.

Which meant…

They were openly fishing!

The Black Peacock watched the seven or eight figures charging at him. This was his own Viper Squad that he had trained for five or six years. They were the third elite team with a high mission completion rate.

The leader, in particular, was Nailed Fist Haus, a secret martial arts practitioner who had mastered the art of boxing. Initially, he was just a newcomer to the boxing community.

But with considerable talent and under his own cultivation, he had already reached the realm of a higher level boxer and could potentially advance to become a fighter.

“Ahh!!!”

With a painful scream, a bloody figure, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, began to massacre.

The Black Peacock, however, was entangled by Steward Feng Liusi, unable to do anything but watch his trusted subordinates die before his eyes. The talents he had painstakingly cultivated were slaughtered like pigs, and the Black Peacock felt as if his own heart were bleeding.

He was a little slow, unable to create an absolute gap with Casio and the other two. In a fight between fighters, it’s not a matter of who can run faster. As long as the gap in speed is not too big, by suddenly bursting forth…

An enemy could catch up, let alone three.

If one is careless and gets caught up in a fight with someone, it would be difficult to escape subsequently. He could only maneuver within the encirclement, looking for an opportunity. Then, at the right moment, he would burst forth, break through the obstacles, and escape.

The Black Peacock had a strange secret technique that made his body seem like it could become intangible. He was fearless, but the situation had subtly changed.

His subordinates who came to support him, were unaccountably taken down.

Five minutes had passed since the sight of Casio holding Haus’s head, but it was still branded in the Black Peacock’s mind. He could never have imagined that one day, he too would be used as bait in a fishing expedition!

On the outskirts, atop a vacant flat land.

The Black Peacock once again used his secret technique to dodge a fatal attack.

As he turned back into his smoky form, his face suddenly changed as he looked in the direction of the city. There, a convoy of seven or eight black cars was driving over in orderly fashion, all filled with loyal and elite subordinates he had carefully selected for this mission.

Excluding none, there must have been dozens of them.

All had come to support him, goddamn!!!

The Black Peacock could no longer hold back and bellowed.

“Stay away from me, get the hell out!”
