Chapter 637: You Want Me to Pay for That Old Man’s Death? I’d Rather Die Myself!
.....
Sasaki's expression changed drastically.
He feared death.
But he also knew that few could erase and escape the death seal once Lu Ding stamped it.
Not to mention he was currently right in front of Lu Ding, completely at his mercy.
"Damn that Saika Maki!!!"
He cursed her one last time in his heart.
Struggling to sit up with his hands tied behind his back, Sasaki looked at Lu Ding, his eyes gradually filling with calm acceptance of the death that was coming.
"Do it!!!!"
Although he knew he couldn't even compare to one of Lu Ding's fingers.Even so!!
He didn't want to be looked down upon!
He had tried escaping, he had tried hiding, but it was all useless in the end.
So he would accept it calmly.
"Dying at the hands of you, Corpse-Shattering Taishui Lu Ding, would be my honor!!"
Speaking these words seemed to drain all of Sasaki's remaining strength.
He trembled as he closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
His mind couldn't help but imagine the ways he might die.
Exploding, shattering, splitting apart......
None of them involved dying with a complete body.
He waited for what felt like several minutes.
But the anticipated darkness of consciousness and the final pain of flesh separating from bone didn't arrive as expected.
This couldn't help but make Sasaki somewhat confused.
Logically speaking, given Lu Ding's personality, he definitely shouldn't have lived these extra few minutes.
Until.
Lu Ding's voice reached his ears.
"Hey, can you see this side?"
Sasaki opened his eyes.
He saw.
Lu Ding holding up his phone, using the front camera to capture both himself and Sasaki in the frame.
On the other end of the phone.
Kagu Muto, who had now been appointed as the director of the Third Circle Great Han Ryukyu Island 749 Branch Bureau, positioned his phone properly.
Then he stepped back two steps to get his entire body in frame.
And bowed respectfully at a perfect ninety-degree angle.
"Grand Duke Lu!!"
This address of "Grand Duke Lu" carried complex emotions - sincere, earnest, grateful...
If not for Lu Ding, he would probably still be just an ordinary Tai Island Earth Observation realm Qi Refiner.
If not for Lu Ding showing mercy, he would have long died at Lu Ding's hands, his flesh and blood mixed with other Tai Island Qi Refiners, randomly shoveled into carts by those cleaning up the battlefield afterward to be used as fertilizer.
He definitely wouldn't have the prestigious status he held today!!
Since their last parting, Kagu Muto had wanted to thank Lu Ding in person more than once. He had even taken out all his savings and most of the personal inheritance left to him by his grandfather Kagu Yu.
Using it to purchase the best gift he could afford within his financial means for Lu Ding.
But unfortunately...
After buying the gift.
He hadn't even seen Lu Ding, let alone heard any news about him.
Multiple inquiries only yielded one response: your clearance level isn't high enough.
Now seeing Lu Ding again, Kagu Muto felt excited, but he didn't overstep in his actions.
His ninety-degree bow was perfectly executed, his movements standard, waiting for Lu Ding to speak.
"Long time no see."
After this brief courtesy.
Lu Ding got straight to the point: "I'm quite busy right now, so let's skip the formalities."
He shifted the phone angle to focus on Sasaki.
Pointing at him: "Back then, it was him who sent people to kill your grandfather."
"Now, immediately take your phone to your grandfather's grave, and I'll personally avenge your grandfather."
"By slicing him to death alive."
Hearing this, not only was Kagu Muto stunned, but Sasaki was also shocked.
If he died because of his grudge with Lu Ding, then he could accept it calmly.
Because Lu Ding was amazing!!!
His emotions rebounded from rock bottom, seeking self-comfort in despair.
For someone as incredible as Lu Ding to specifically come to kill him, and to slaughter a group of Qi Refiners who were his fellow 749 investigators just to kill him, while also destroying a consulate in the process.
Wasn't that something worth boasting about?
But...
If his death was because of Third Circle's Kagu Yu, then Sasaki couldn't accept it.
What level was that old man Kagu Yu? What status?
He was only in the Third Circle - to put it bluntly, if that old man came to the Second Circle, the Sasaki family wouldn't even want him for cleaning toilets because he was too old.
Just a political position.
His actual personal strength was worthless.
Having to pay for such a person's death made Sasaki immediately flush with anger, veins bulging in his neck as he angrily shouted.
"Is he even worthy!!!!?"
"He's just a dead old man who didn't even have cultivation higher than a Second Circle university student! Wanting me to pay for his death? Dream on!!!!"
These words sounded reasonable on the surface.
But actually contained major flaws - Heavenly Perception cultivation was different in the Second Circle and Third Circle.
It was roughly equivalent to the difference between a university student from the 1980s and a university student today.
Environmental factors influenced everything.
Sasaki was truly angered now. Since the restraints on him were placed by Saika Maki.
And now that Saika Maki was dead, although the restraints remained, they definitely weren't as strong as when she was alive.
Sasaki immediately gathered his "essence, qi, and spirit."
A deity phantom holding a bow slowly materialized behind Sasaki, radiating overwhelming power.
"Making me die for his death? I'd rather commit suicide!!!!"
This life-bound killing move, executed amidst the intertwining emotions of rage and shame, could be considered the most powerful attack Sasaki had ever unleashed in his life.
But it wasn't for fighting enemies.
It was for suicide.
The deity holding the bow placed it around Sasaki's head.
Pulling the bowstring, golden light exploded.
With just one release, it could instantly decapitate Sasaki.
This was the most dignified suicide method he could think of.
Sasaki raised his head, looking directly at Lu Ding and Kagu Muto.
Saying: "Kagu."
The deity's bow-pulling hand released, the golden bowstring cutting toward the back of Sasaki's neck.
Just as it was about to successfully complete the suicide.
Lu Ding raised his hand and unleashed the Way of the Jinche.
Rip!!!!
The so-called deity was shredded to pieces by countless slash attacks.
With this essence-qi-spirit combined attack broken.
Sasaki suffered severe backlash, vomiting large amounts of black blood in explosive bursts.
Lu Ding's figure flashed, leaping above Sasaki's body.
One!!!
War Stomp!!!!
Boom!!!!
He landed heavily on Sasaki's stomach, violently squeezing out large amounts of blood mixed with organ fragments from the force of this stomp.
The thirty-second floor of the Tai Island Consulate instantly shattered.
Sasaki's body was smashed through the floor by Lu Ding stepping on him.
Boom boom boom boom...
Falling all the way down.
Finally landing with a "thud," deeply embedded in the fifteenth floor.
Standing on the now defenseless Sasaki, Lu Ding looked down at him from above: "I decide when you die."
His foot ground and crushed Sasaki's bones.
Listening to him scream while vomiting blood from the pain.
"Ah!!!!"
Kagu Muto on the other end of the phone finally understood.
So Grand Duke Lu had gone to the Second Circle.
Without any hesitation.
He took the phone and immediately ran to his office.
