Chapter 263: Chapter 263 "Man" Wang the Fifth

In the blood-soaked forest, under the gaze of everyone present, Shi Feng simply responded to Wang the Fifth with,"Gone, all dead!"

"Gone, all dead!" A seemingly casual statement made as if what Shi Feng had slain were not men but twenty mere chickens.

Although everyone knew the answer in their hearts, hearing it from Shi Feng’s mouth in person now shocked and horrified them more deeply. Twenty brothers, who had just been alive beside them, were wiped out in the blink of an eye—was this really a person? Was his realm truly the same as theirs, having fallen to the One-star Martial Master Realm?

"Gone, all dead! Gone, all dead!" Wang the Fifth’s mind seemed to become dazed for a moment as he murmured these three words.

These twenty martial artists were not only his brothers through years of life and death, but they were also the hope in this blood-soaked forest. With them, he could make a stand in this forest, eliminating the talented offspring from major sects and prominent families—each a living treasure.

But now, for Wang the Fifth and the Great Saber Sect, how would they face the demon that had walked step by step towards them?

"I... I’m sorry, Sect Leader!" A martial artist from the Great Saber Sect heard Shi Feng’s approaching footsteps, which felt like they were directly stepping on his own heart, unbearable in their oppressive, chest-tightening sensation. Thinking of the twenty brothers suddenly gone, fear erupted within him, and he turned to run.

However, just then, a pale, white glow flashed through the void, tracing a beautiful arc that instantly struck the head of the fleeing martial artist. Following that, the running martial artist let out a piercing scream, as if enduring intense torment, and then his body twisted and he fell to the ground, dead.

"He’s dead! Just like that, he’s dead!" The martial artists from the Great Saber Sect inhaled sharply at the sight of their fallen brother. This demon, with a mere flick of his wrist, had extinguished a living life, his face always maintaining a light, indifferent smile. A casual voice then echoed through the blood-soaked forest: "Since you all desire my life, none of you shall leave alive today. If I allow such trash to escape from my hands, then all my martial arts cultivation might as well have gone to the dogs."

With these easy, light words, Shi Feng had effectively sentenced these martial artists from the Great Saber Sect to death.

At this moment, Wang the Fifth looked at Shi Feng and walked towards him with decisive steps, standing in front of Shi Feng and saying firmly, "Just kill me, but please spare my brothers!"

Facing the formidable Shi Feng, who joked and killed as he pleased, Wang the Fifth was betting on something. As a child, he had heard a story in a teahouse. The hero of the story, a young man surrounded by martial artists, eventually defeated each one. Their leader, resolutely appearing before the young man, was also bald and spoke firmly: "You can kill me, but please spare my brothers!"

The leader had exactly this attitude, and the young man later admired him as a man of honour and spared them all.

Holding this image in his mind, Wang the Fifth’s face became more resolute as he gazed at Shi Feng.

"Sect Leader!" At this moment, when the martial artists from the Great Saber Sect saw Wang the Fifth standing up for them, they were filled with excitement, shouting out. The Sect Leader was willing to sacrifice himself for their lives—such importance they held in his heart!

Shi Feng, however, was not the naïve young man from Wang the Fifth’s story. Shi Feng had always adhered to a principle: if no one offended him, he would not offend anyone, but if someone did, then they could just go die.

Shi Feng’s right finger gently curved towards Wang the Fifth.

At this moment, Wang the Fifth’s attention was already entirely focused on Shi Feng, and seeing Shi Feng’s finger bend, he immediately thought of the cluster of forest-white fluorescence that had been flicked from the finger before, and he retreated in fright, exclaiming, "Ah! No! Don’t kill me!"

The Wang the Fifth at this moment, compared to the righteous and determined man who just asked Shi Feng to kill him to spare his brothers, was completely a different person.

Wang the Fifth’s actions left the Martial Artists of the Great Saber Sect at a loss for a moment, wasn’t the Sect Leader stepping forward to seek death, asking this youngster to kill him in exchange for their lives? Why is he now begging for mercy and backing away?

And at this moment, Shi Feng flicked his finger just like before, sending out a cluster of forest-white light that beautifully arched through the Void towards Wang the Fifth.

"Ah!" Wang the Fifth stared in horror at the falling arc, he was currently retreating to the side of a Martial Artist of the Great Saber Sect. That Martial Artist was still wondering why his Sect Leader’s current demeanor was different from the resolute approach of welcoming death that he had expected; and this Martial Artist didn’t notice that at this moment, two large hands had grabbed him, and then his entire body was lifted high up, followed closely by, the cluster of forest-white fluorescence fell, landing right in the Martial Artist’s heart.

"Ah!" The Martial Artist let out a painful and miserable scream, but the sound quickly stopped, evidently he had already lost his life, becoming a cold corpse.

And everyone saw that the person who had lifted the Martial Artist’s body high was none other than the willing-to-die-for-his-brothers Sect Leader, Wang the Fifth.

This sudden change made it even harder for the Martial Artists of the Great Saber Sect to accept, the once mentally-constructed image of a tall, bald and noble figure, abruptly collapsed.

Wang the Fifth didn’t need to turn around to see the array of unusual gazes thrown at him by his brothers.

"Damn it!" Even Shi Feng, who had a calm expression just before, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Damn, I thought you were a tough guy who would take a blade for his brothers, turns out you’re just a coward, damn, you Bald Man are really too funny."

Just thinking about the resolute and determined way Wang the Fifth had just begged for death from him, Shi Feng found it amusing.

Wang the Fifth’s face turned red with embarrassment and in full view of everyone, the tall and mighty Bald Man, still holding the corpse, suddenly dropped to his knees with a "thud" and pleaded with the young man, "Please don’t kill me, I am willing to lead these brothers of the Great Saber Sect to allegiance to you!"

This act was a stark contrast to the tough man from before, it seemed as if the stern-faced, willing-to-sacrifice-himself-for-his-brothers Great Saber Wang the Fifth was like two different people!

As if he had a split personality, possessing dual personas?

At that moment, Wang the Fifth turned back around, his face swiftly changing from pleading to his usual authority, and he barked at the nine remaining astonished Martial Artists of the Great Saber Sect, "What are you still dazed for, hurry up and pay respects to our Great Saber Sect’s new Sect Leader!"
