Book 2 Chapter 10.1 – Splitting Rivers and Dividing the Ocean
When Li Yang came out of his training, it was already night time.
Hu!
A breeze blew past, and the previous empty and silent villa rooftop suddenly had a person standing on top.
Li Yang was covered in black, and unyieldingly stood atop the villa peak. As a light wind blew past, the corners of his clothes were making flapping sounds!
Fortunately, Li Yang was completely clad in black, and within the night, there weren’t many people who would could see him. Li Yang’s eyes were like the stars as he stood on the peak of the villa, and was overlooking the entire manhattan night sky. Manhattan was even busier at night than during the day, and countless people were strolling through the city.
He was watching over the countless pedestrians. There were young, old, ordinary, and rich people, and all different kinds of people pa.s.sed within his gaze. While in a daze, Li Yang was feeling a type of illusion, as if he himself was a supreme G.o.d, and below his feet were countless individuals without power.
Suddenly, a sigh escaped Li Yang’s mouth.
“Perhaps while these ignorant ordinary people are getting along, I possess an inhuman amount of power. Nevertheless, the cruelties of the underground world are obvious, and this is absolutely a place where the powerful will reign supreme, and there is not a shred of emotion that gets in the way of this. Five great crime syndicates? Church? Darkness a.s.sembly? These are all formidable top powers. If I did not cultivate in the Devil Realm secrets, I would simply be an insect in front of them. If they wanted to kill, then they would kill. If they wanted to pinch, then they would pinch. However, the current me has already begun training the Demonic Yang Law and the Devil G.o.d’s Six Vanishments, making it a completely different situation!
“Heng, Holy Forest Group? I was wondering whether or not my bounty reward offer has caused you guys to make some adjustments to your lives?” On Li Yang’s face was a faint smiling expression. With his interactions with Xiang Yu and his access to many of the Devil Realm’s secrets, Li Yang was feeling more and more disdain towards the Mortal Realm. It was to the point where even when he was dealing with the Holy Forest Group, Li Yang still had a bit of a ‘cat chasing mouse’ type of feeling.
“Right, Overlord, do you have any soul tormenting secret methods?” Li Yang suddenly asked within his mind.
“I do, of course I do. My Devil Realm doesn’t have many other things, but we have plenty of tormenting methods. Towards the Nascent Soul stage in particular, for example, the ‘Hidden Ghost Devouring Spirit’ combines the tormented soul with 999 other malicious spirits, and allow these malicious spirits to tear that soul into thousands of pieces. This will make that soul unable to ask for life or death! In the end, after countless year of torment, the soul’s strength will weaken, and it will scatter away, never again able to reincarnate! Of course, you can also give the soul power, and allow it to live and endlessly suffer through pain and torture. Whatever time you decide you want it to die, that is when it will die! Hehe, this is still one of the more simple ones. There is still the slightly more powerful ‘White Flame Soul Smelting’, and this ‘White Flame Soul Smelting’…
When Li Yang heard this, he couldn’t help but shiver. Heavens, this Devil Realm really is too formidable.
“The eighteen types that I spoke of just now were the ones that I use rather frequently. Within the Devil Realm, one needs to have some harsh techniques. If you aren’t satisfied, there is no problem! My old friend Shi Hundan is a famous executioner, and his seventy two prosecution methods is something that even those who have a temperament as steady as Buddha cannot resist!”
“It seems like I have to learn some of these treacherous techniques. Lin Tianyu, it is because of you that I am learning these sinister techniques!” Li Yang softly laughed, and soon after, his body was like the wind, and instantly disappeared from the villa rooftop.
Early the next morning, the cute Old Jack once against made his routine visit towards Li Yang’s apartment.
“What happened to Mu Yi? Why is he stubbornly staying within his house and refusing to come out? If it wasn’t for him speaking that day, I really would have thought that he wasn’t inside. However, that door is quite strange, and I have no way of entering through!” Old Jack was muttering as he walked. What he had heard was not Li Yang’s voice, but rather what he experience through the illusion created by Xiang Yu’s restriction technique, making him feel as if it was Li Yang speaking.
“It really is a pity. It’s been more than a hundred days already… How much partic.i.p.ation fee has been wasted already… Mu Yi he unexpectedly did not come out even after a hundred days! Otherwise, my cute and hateful Mu Yi probably would have already entered the top division arena, and I, Old Jack, would have made at least a million dollars by now. Money… It really is large amounts of American dollars!” Old Jack cried aguishly. Old Jack did not have many things to do everyday, and making his way to Li Yang’s villa each morning had already became his morning exercise activity.
“Hi, Little Jack, how are you!” Old Jack saw the youth within Li Yang’s villa, and immediately spoke out with a smile.
This youth was indeed the younger brother of the werewolf siblings. The sister’s name was Chen Li, and the brother’s name was Chen Yu. The sister’s american name was Lily, and the brother was called Jack. Old Jack was extremely fond of this Little Jack, and each time he came to Li Yang’s house, being able to see Little Jack was also a great pleasure.
“Old Jack, h.e.l.lo to you as well!” Little Jack was still quite young. These past few days have been rather peaceful, and weren’t as sorrowful as in the past.
“Little Jack, I’ll bring you to Broadway this afternoon… Ah!” While Old Jack and Little Jack were talking, they noticed a person within the villa living room from the corner of their eyes. They couldn’t help but be dumbstruck as they looked at the person who was eating breakfast… Li Yang.
“Oh! My dear Mu Yi, you finally came out! Did G.o.d finally open his eyes?” Old Jack blinked his eyes twice, and it seemed as if he was having trouble believing what was happening.
Old Jack suddenly pinched his own thigh, and after crying out in pain, he immediately jumped over. “Oh! Heavens, this is all real! Mu Yi, my dear Mu Yi, you finally left that repulsive room!” The light in Old Jack’s eyes were shining, and that was a light that emerged when he thought about how much money was going to make.
Li Yang slightly laughed, and looked towards Old Jack as he spoke. “I truly must apologize, however, in the Underground Boxing Arena, as long as one fought ten matches within a year, it would be enough. Previously, I already fought over twenty matches, so there shouldn’t be any problems right?” Prior to his closed training session, Li Yang had crazily accepted a.s.sa.s.sination mission and fought in the boxing arena. He completed roughly a dozen missions, and also fought in over twenty matches.
Old Jack hurriedly replied, “No, no, of course there aren’t any problems. The only thing is that time is money. My dear Mu Yi, during this period of time, do you know how many matches you missed out on? Do you know how much money was lost? Otherwise, you would be able to enter the top division right now, and the partic.i.p.ation fee itself would be several hundred thousand dollars!”
“Alright, Old Jack! Don’t worry, you can go and peacefully arrange for matches now. I can partic.i.p.ate in a match at any time!” Li Yang softly chucked as he spoke.
Old Jack’s eyes immediately lit up, and immediately stood up with the intention of leaving. “Mu Yi, I am leaving first. Little Jack, let’s go to Broadway next time. Don’t worry, I will definitely take you next time!” Old Jack currently wanted to arranged a large amount of matches for Li Yang, and he really could not wait any longer. After all, time was money.
After breakfast was finished.
“Little Jack, how is your cultivation of the ‘Wolf Emperor Art’ progressing?” Li Yang smiled as he spoke.
Little Jack was sitting on top of a couch in the living room, and wrinkled his nose. He proudly said, “I am a genius! In barely over a hundred days, I have already reached the second layer. Sister is still on the first layer!”
Seeing Little Jack so energetic now, Li Yang was also became happy. He also did not want a youngster to be so immersed in hatred. However, for Little Jack to be able to become relaxed again after such a short period of time, the first reason was because he was still young, and the second reason was because the person who killed their mother that day had already been killed by Li Yang.
Buzz…
The cell phone began to vibrate, and Li Yang immediately picked it up.
“Mu Yi, I have already arranged for your matches, tonight at eight!” Li Yang couldn’t help but feel stupefied after hearing Old Jack’s voice. How long had it been since Old Jack left?! It was barely the time it took to eat breakfast, and it seems that the power of money really was quite extraordinary.
