Chapter 553 - I Will Shoulder the Consequences!
GDK 553: I Will Shoulder the Consequences!
The slaughter ended uneventfully in just a short while. Not a single one of the altogether six teenagers, Kuliya included, could escape from Sanguis’ hands. They were all coldly slaughtered, their bodies left in horrific states!
In the Abyss realm, such a matter could not be more common. Neither Jasper, Hemanna, nor Sylph revealed the tiniest bit of disgust or distraught, especially when they learned of a certain affliction on Sanguis’ mother. They saw nothing inappropriate about Sanguis’ actions.
Soon after killing all his enemies, Sanguis’ bright red skin returned to normal. That intense reeking of blood also dissipated. Sanguis, heavily gasping for air, after seeing the wreckage of his doing, lowered his head and began to weep. Compared to his terrifying figure just before, the Sanguis of this moment appeared weak and helpless.
As the master, Han Shuo sprung himself and landed behind Sanguis. He reached out to pat Sanguis’ shoulder gently, and said in a soft voice, “Debt of blood, paid in blood. There is nothing wrong with what you did. You might feel perturbed as this is the first time you killed someone. But I believe that in the future, you will gradually grow numb to it. You will be just like me and not feel the slightest disturbance for murdering someone.”
“Master, I did not feel perturbed for them, I was crying for my mom. I was thinking that, if mom could see that I have avenged her, she would be gratified…” the tearful Sanguis raised his head and explained to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was startled. He nodded and smiled, “Very good. My good apprentice, I see I was right about you after all!”
Sanguis gradually turned staunch. As Han Shuo looked at him, he said in a deep and low voice, “Kuliya’s father as well as the rest of theirs were even more abominable. I will not let a single one of them slip by!”
“Don’t worry about that. Soon enough, they shall all perish in your hands!” Han Shuo understood that compared to Kuliya, those adults must have caused even greater pain and misery to Sanguis’ family, especially when those men were previously subordinates under his father.
“Ahem…” coughed the level-one Demon who had been watching coldly from the sidelines. When Han Shuo turned to look at him with a questioning face, he creased his brows and said, “Although Black Jade City isn’t a city that prohibits fighting, this kid, nonetheless, has definitely exceeded certain legal limits in his actions. As his master, you should be thinking for his future, instead of continuing to instigate him to repeat his crime.”
“Well then. With the two of you present, I can definitely save a lot of trouble,” Han Shuo exclaimed. Shortly after, he turned to that level-one Demon and said, “Now, tell me, am I capable of assuming all risks for my apprentice?”
Thud! The level-one Demon immediately kneeled on one knee and said in a trembling voice, “I am deeply sorry Mister Han Shuo. I did not know of your identity. Please forgive any indignation this ignoble servant might have caused!”
“Oh?” Bord’s expression suddenly turned cold. He turned to Han Shuo and said, “This impudent fellow, has he done anything to offend you? I am in the position to administer the appropriate discipline and correction.”
Han Shuo waved his hand and replied smilingly, “It’s nothing. He’s not bad actually. He knows to adapt to circumstances. He did not offend me, no need to make life difficult for him.”
“Alright then, I will let this pass. Now get lost! You are not needed here,” Bord scoffed and commanded impatiently.
“Thank you Mister Han Shuo, thank you Lord Bord. I will get lost immediately!” this level-one Demon dared not say another superfluous word. With his back arched, he quickly disappeared out of their sights.
“Sanguis, let’s go. I must watch you resolve all matters. This kind of hatred must be straightened out as soon as possible!” Han Shuo said to his apprentice.
“Thank you master. Master, Sanguis will engrave your favor and grace on my heart forever,” Sanguis said solemnly. His eyes were thoroughly red, the emotionally touched type of red.
“Alright, alright. It is only by releasing all those grudges in your heart that you will be able to focus yourself entirely on your cultivation,” Han Shuo said. He lowered his head, glanced at the bodies around him, crinkled his brows, and asked Bord, “About these bodies, what do you…”
“My inferiors will handle these trivial matters. Let’s make a move,” Bord interjected. He then raised his head and whistled. After a short while, several guards dressed in cold black uniforms arrived before him. “Clean up these bodies,” Bord instructed.
“Yes, my Lord,” the person leading the group of guards replied in a stern voice. “Let’s go,” Han Shuo said to Sanguis as he took the lead, leaving the scene.
Sanguis turned his head and took one last look at that house he had resided in for many years. He clenched his fists, looked forward, and marched behind Han Shuo with unshakeable resolution.
