Chapter 358: Bloody Retribution! Everyone Dead?

"It's Lei Di! He's back!"

"Lei Di, it's been a long time."

"......"

Although the National University League had ended over two months ago.

Yet when Xu Jingming, with his restored appearance, walked through Mada University's campus, many still warmly greeted him.

Some even pulled out photos of him from the league and asked for autographs.

Xu Jingming refused none of them.

Because of this, it took him nearly half an hour to walk the couple of stretches from the Combat Techniques Library to the student dorms.

Back at the villa, the first-floor living room was empty; Liu Wentao was still in class.

As for Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu, Xu Jingming had received messages from them days ago, even before leaving the ruins space.

They said they were going to the Wild Zone and wouldn't return for several days.

"First, get some sleep. Then check the official website to submit my early graduation application."

For over two months in the ruins space, Xu Jingming had been constantly tense—even his sleep was shallow.

Now that he was back at school and finally relaxed, all his exhaustion surged up at once.

He didn't even bother to shower, just stripped off his blood-stained combat suit, entered his bedroom, and collapsed onto the bed...

Japan, Asahikawa City, Hokkaido.

It was past nine at night; the sky was utterly dark.

Only a full moon hung in the sky, pouring its silvery light freely onto the earth.

The entire city of Asahikawa glowed brightly, thriving and bustling.

The Asahikawa branch of Tenmi Dojo was likewise crowded with people.

Most wore combat suits and carried weapons—psychics.

Shhh—

Suddenly, a crimson bloodlight shot rapidly from the horizon.

It transformed into a burly man, hovering midair before the Tenmi Dojo building.

"Walking on air! A Martial Saint!"

"My god! Has Tenmi Dojo produced another Martial Saint?"

The psychics on the ground gazed reverently at the towering figure, exclaiming in Japanese.

"Hmph!"

Yet at that moment, a cold snort echoed.

The man released just a sliver of his aura, and everyone on the ground felt crushing pressure.

Most turned pale instantly.

Some weaker psychics collapsed to their knees with a thud!

"The Great Xia nine-rank Martial Saint 'Blood Sword' has entered our Japanese territory without permission."

"Leave immediately, or we will summon our own nine-rank experts to expel you!"

A seventh-rank Elemental Wind Master, wreathed in howling winds, flew out from the building.

He stared grimly at Blood Sword and warned loudly in Great Xia's language.

"Summon your nine-ranks? Fine. Let's see if they can beat me!"

Blood Sword's black hair whipped wildly behind him:

"But first, I must destroy this branch."

He drew a long alloy sword.

Thick blood aura coiled around it, then slashed downward at the building before him!

"Blood Slash!"

Shhh—

A crimson blade of light, as if piercing heaven and earth, sliced diagonally through the entire building!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A clean, smooth cut appeared in the middle of the thirty- to forty-meter-tall building.

The entire upper half collapsed with a thunderous crash!

"Dasugete!"

"Save me! Save me!"

"......"

As the building crashed down, screams erupted across the entire Tenmi Dojo grounds.

"You destroyed my dojo! Blood Sword! What the hell do you want?!"

The Wind Master's face twisted in fury as he roared.

"What do I want? Ask what you did!"

He sneered, then unleashed his full nine-rank Martial Saint aura.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Those crushed or killed earlier had merely been ordinary people or first-rank psychics.

Now, with his aura exploding, everyone within a thousand meters around.

All psychics and civilians below fourth rank were crushed into bloody mist!

Instantly, the Tenmi Dojo became a slaughterhouse—blood flowed everywhere, thick with the stench of blood.

Yet Blood Sword didn't stop—he swung two more slashes, reducing the entire building to rubble.

"You! You! If you want revenge, target Tenmi Dojo! There were so many ordinary people around—why kill them all?!"

The Wind Master's eyes bulged red as he stared at the surrounding ruins.

"I don't enjoy bullying the weak—but if you dare touch a Great Xia SS-rank, this is your fate!"

Blood Sword's sharp face bore an icy, emotionless expression:

"You should be grateful Xu Jingming wasn't harmed. Otherwise, your entire Japan would cease to exist..."

Shuowan, Xuejianfangruoshunyiyibanchuxianzaizhemingqijiezongshimianqian ， Zhijiejiangqizhansha 。

Then he shot off rapidly in another direction.

His spiritual sense... had locked onto Ju Jing's location.

"It's been over twenty-three hours already—can't we leave yet?"

"Who knows? Those two machines haven't spoken, so we dare not move."

In the ruins space,

The psychics stared hopefully at the two Golden Guardians guarding the space gate.

After a while, the Golden Guardians announced: "Time's up. You may leave."

At those words, the psychics who had waited nearly a full day at the space gate rushed forward in a frenzy.

Afraid that if they hesitated, they'd be dragged back again.

"Transmitter, my mission is complete..."

The two Golden Guardians murmured to themselves, their eyes lost their vitality, then mechanically marched toward the main base.

"The Golden Guardians didn't notice us—go!"

In the nearby forest, where Sakura Rin had hidden for a long time, he saw the Golden Guardians depart.

He immediately led the remaining Tenmi Dojo members toward the space gate.

"Director, the space gate will open in just one hour."

"Could the Holy Maiden and the others... have run into trouble?"

Outside the space gate,

One psychic beside Ju Jing asked cautiously.

"Wait a little longer. See if anyone else comes out."

By now, Ju Jing had sensed something was wrong—but aside from waiting, he had no other option.

After all, the Great Xia people had already fled; he couldn't even find anyone to interrogate.

"Director, look! The space gate is moving!"

At that moment, a psychic exclaimed joyfully.

Ju Jing looked over—sure enough, psychics were streaming out of the space gate.

"Everyone, don't move!"

Remembering his earlier mistake letting Great Xia people escape, Ju Jing didn't dare delay—he unleashed his aura, a terrifying wave sweeping over them.

Instantly, the psychics just exiting the gate froze in place, silently cursing.

Without the seventh-rank Golden Guardians, now an eighth-rank Grand Master? Who could stand against this?

"You. Come here."

Ju Jing casually grabbed a psychic, his face dark as he demanded:

"Tell me what happened inside the ruins space. Where are our Tenmi Dojo members? Why haven't they come out?"

The fifth-rank psychic, trembling under the eighth-rank Grand Master's pressure, struggled to reply:

"The Great Xia SS-rank Xu Jingming appeared in the ruins space and received the legendary inheritance."

And deploy two seventh-rank Flowing Gold Guards to hunt down your people.

Everyone who entered the relic space should... should all be dead...

"What?! All dead?!"

Jue Jing's pupils shrank instantly to the size of needle points.
