The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins

The soft, low words entered the ears, the bone-chilling oppression enveloped the entire room, and the fear from the soul dominated the brain, leaving people frozen in place, like insects frozen by ice.

Jin Zhuxian stiffly and slowly turned his neck, watching a handsome brocade-robed young man step over the ruins and enter the room.

"Who... are... you?"

"Xuanyi County Captain, Li Lin."

Native?!

Glancing at the young man with surprise, not feeling the power to mobilize the heavens and earth, Jin Zhuxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, not the Child of Destiny...

Swish~

Ignoring the young man's warning, Jin Zhuxian dashed towards Kitano Yoshihiko like a shadow.

Facing the threat of death, Kitano Yoshihiko broke free from the oppression on his spirit, and without a care, ruthlessly threw the little girl in his hand towards the opposite.

Boom!

At the critical moment, a black light shot out, hitting Jin Zhuxian's side and sending her flying through the air, crashing through the wall and disappearing without a trace.

Using his dexterity, Zhu Haomiao caught the flying little girl and threw her to her mother, staring at Kitano Yoshihiko, waving his hand without looking back.

"Go."

Hearing this, the woman glanced at Kitano Yoshihiko, who dared not move, nodded gratefully, and fled outside with her daughter and the baby in her arms.

Only when the woman was far away did Zhu Haomiao begin to walk towards Kitano Yoshihiko, unhurriedly.

"I told you to let go, didn't you hear?"

The soft words carried a piercing, icy killing intent. Kitano Yoshihiko's face turned ashen, feeling that the slender figure approaching was not a mere youth but a terrifying demon that devoured people.

The suffocating pressure enveloped his body and mind. Sensing his fighting spirit rapidly waning, Kitano Yoshihiko, unwilling to meet his end without a fight, bit the tip of his tongue hard, a beast-like ferocity flashing in his eyes.

A cornered rabbit will still bite!

You, a native, dare to be arrogant!

"Vile creature! Die~"

Overdrawing his energy, Kitano Yoshihiko slashed out a dazzling strike. The crystal-clear sword gang lightly sliced through the air, void of any lingering smoke as it slashed towards the youth.

Facing this sudden counterattack, Zhu Haomiao merely raised his hand lightly. A flash of scarlet blood glint appeared in his eyes, and a faint phantom of dark golden scales condensed in his palm.

[Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique] + [Anger]!

Clang!

The brilliant firelight exploded in the room. The air twisted and wriggled, expanding supersonically, as if the entire room was a balloon being burst, disintegrating in an instant. Shattered bricks flew everywhere like bullets.

In the center of the explosion, Kitano Yoshihiko, gripping the katana with both hands, felt a sharp pain at the tiger's mouth. The katana in his palm was knocked out by the counter-shock force, his upper body uncontrollably tilting backward, his head and feet flying backward, crashing into the rubble headfirst.

On the other side, glancing at the sinister bloody mark in his palm, Zhu Haomiao slightly frowned, looking up at the katana spiraling into the air, reaching out and grabbing it from a distance.

Swish~

As if drawn by an invisible gravitational pull, the katana spun in an arc and flew precisely into the youth's palm.

Snap~

Gripping the hilt tightly, Zhu Haomiao carefully examined the weapon in his hand, his brows slowly relaxing.

Turns out it's a [True Object], of decent grade, no wonder it could break through defenses...

Swish swish~

Casually flicking out two slashes, feeling the smoothness of the blade cutting through the air, Zhu Haomiao nodded in satisfaction and walked towards Kitano Yoshihiko, who was struggling to get up.

"Give me back my sword!"

The stocky Kitano Yoshihiko's eyes flashed with a hint of madness, glaring at the youth with a fierce and venomous look.

However, not at all intimidated by his frightening gaze, Zhu Haomiao let out a mocking laugh, meeting his eyes with an even more sinister gaze. After a few seconds of static confrontation, Kitano Yoshihiko's neck veins bulged, and he indignantly and stiffly lowered his head, admitting defeat.

"A barbarian dares to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Dynasty?"

"Overestimating oneself!"

Hearing the native youth's taunt, Kitano Yoshihiko felt even more humiliated, wishing to tear him limb from limb.

But reason told him not to act rashly. The monster-like youth in front of him was not someone he could handle right now.

At the very least, he needed to wait until he fully adapted to his coupling period and returned to his peak state to defeat this guy!

By then, he would surely cut this guy into a human stick to avenge today's humiliation!

Clenching his teeth secretly, Kitano Yoshihiko lowered his gaze, eyes shifting, secretly channeling energy to find an opportunity to escape.

As for his weapon...

As a [True Object] bound to the soul, it couldn't normally be taken by a native. He planned to seize it back later!

Sharply aware of the opponent secretly storing power, Zhu Haomiao narrowed his eyes, a barely perceptible Purple Gold gleam appearing on the katana in his hand.

Considering that the extraordinary law features of the Eight Basic Forces were too obvious, easily revealing his origins if used.

Zhu Haomiao simultaneously activated the Original Sin Authority, the combined extraordinary power's manifestation markedly different, almost impossible for others to identify!

[Armor Breaking Force·Triumph] + [Original Sin·Pride]!

The invincible Purple Gold blade light flashed in the air. Kitano Yoshihiko's pupils contracted to pinpoints, instantly erupting and darting towards the distance like a shadow.

However, the sharp Purple Gold blade light shot out, like a shadow following form, catching up to him in an instant, lightly sweeping past the root of his limbs.

Only feeling a chill coming from his limbs, Kitano Yoshihiko's body uncontrollably fell, and only a second later did the heart-wrenching pain come flooding in like a tide.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!"

Turning into a human stick, Kitano Yoshihiko lay on the ground wailing miserably. Zhu Haomiao walked up to him and stomped on his back, instantly making him spew black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, silencing him.

"Tsk tsk, I'm a kind person, can't bear to see others suffer, no need to thank me."

Grabbing the unconscious Kitano Yoshihiko, Zhu Haomiao held the katana in one hand and dragged the human stick, heading outside the courtyard.

After just a few steps, he was met by the ferocious face of Jin Zhuxian.

"?!!!"

Seeing the human stick in the youth's hand, Jin Zhuxian's steps halted, her ferocious expression froze instantly, then gradually disappeared, her eyes growing wary and tense.

As a literal life-and-death enemy, she knew well Kitano Yoshihiko's strength.

Even for her to completely take him down would require a tough battle, yet the youth before her remained unharmed, not even a corner of his clothes was damaged.

This indicated a merciless crushing above a tier, even if Kitano Yoshihiko was far from his peak state, the native youth's strength was rather exaggerated!

Simultaneously, it meant the other could easily crush her!

More crucially...

Looking at the youth's handsome jade-like face, Jin Zhuxian once again pondered a question in her heart.

Is he really not the Child of Destiny?

On the other side, watching the beautiful woman whose whole body was tense and who was slowly stepping back, Zhu Haomiao faintly curled his lips.

"Trying to run?"
