"You fool! Isn't getting duped once enough? You want to be fooled a second time?" Noguchi Taro roared angrily. "They've already spent their money on treasures. Just kill them and take the treasures from their bodies!"

"But they aren't carrying much on them," Kawatani Daiki said with a crestfallen expression.

"Idiot, didn't you see the Space Ring on his finger? That Space Ring alone is worth nearly one hundred billion USD! Are you still afraid it won't be enough to cover your losses?" Noguchi Taro said maliciously, his eyes fixed greedily on the Space Ring on Zhang Bin's finger.

He had spent all his life's savings on the Flying Sword in his hand, which he had won at the Hero Auction for 150 billion USD. The purchase left him completely broke and eager to earn some quick money, which was why he accepted Kawatani Daiki's offer to deal with Zhang Bin's group.

He hadn't expected a huge windfall, but he never dreamed that a mere cultivator at the Initial Liquid Realm would possess a Space Ring.

It was as if his ancestors were smiling down on him from the heavens.

Kawatani Daiki's face immediately lit up with joy, and he was utterly ecstatic at the prospect of striking it rich.

"If I give you the Space Ring, will you let us go?" Zhang Bin's face was filled with pleading as he removed the ring and slowly handed it over.

"Hahaha…" Noguchi Taro burst into a maniacal, ecstatic laugh, his heart swelling with pride. It was because he was so much stronger than them that his enemies didn't even have the courage to fight, offering up their treasures obediently instead.

"Sigh..." Chen Chaoyue and Ma Rufei let out a simultaneous sigh of grief and anger. They knew all too well that handing over the treasure was pointless. How could their opponent possibly spare them? They didn't dare to dream of fighting their way out today. The Golden Core Realm Cultivator before them was too terrifying; to them, he was no different from a true immortal.

Noguchi Taro finally stopped laughing and said mockingly, "Since your attitude is so good, I'll promise to leave you an intact corpse!"

With that, he reached out to grab the Space Ring Zhang Bin was offering.

But at that exact moment, Zhang Bin's mouth snapped open.

A red Flying Sword burst forth, shooting straight for Noguchi Taro's glabella. The murderous aura was overwhelming, chilling to the bone.

The smirk on Noguchi Taro's face froze, replaced by sheer terror. He had never imagined that this youth, merely at the Initial Liquid Realm, could use Sword Control. Not only that, but he possessed an extremely precious Middle-Grade Flying Sword, which he had launched with such stealth from his mouth.

"Ah…!" he let out a furious roar. The Flying Sword in his hand shot out like a bolt of lightning, attempting to intercept Zhang Bin's sword. He also retreated rapidly, but unfortunately, Kawatani Daiki was standing right behind him, and he crashed into him hard.

SMASH!

As if hit by a high-speed train, Kawatani Daiki was instantly flattened into a meat patty. He was sent flying, blood spurting from all over his body as if from a sieve. An examination would have revealed that every bone in his body was shattered and his heart had exploded. He died without knowing how or why. It happened too fast.

With Kawatani Daiki's death, Noda Sayuri was now safe, which was one less thing for Zhang Bin to worry about.

SWOOSH...

Although Noguchi Taro's Flying Sword was fast, it couldn't match the speed of Zhang Bin's Middle-Grade Flying Sword, so it intercepted nothing but air.

Meanwhile, Zhang Bin's Flying Sword shot forward, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up to the rapidly retreating Noguchi Taro. It pierced straight through the forehead of the terror-stricken man.

PFFT...

The Flying Sword was incredibly sharp. It pierced through instantly, taking a spray of crimson blood with it as it flew out the back of his head.

"I can't accept this..." Noguchi Taro cried out in defiance, but his voice was cut short. He was already a corpse. He collapsed to the ground with a thud, blood pooling around him.

The mighty Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator, Noguchi Taro—a cultivation genius and top-tier powerhouse who had once been invincible in the Island Nation and shone in global competitions—was thus slain by Zhang Bin's single sword strike, becoming just another stepping stone on his path of cultivation.

Everyone was so shocked they fell deathly silent. Their legs went weak, and some collapsed straight to the ground. After all, in their minds, Noguchi Taro was like an immortal being, unimaginably powerful. Yet, he had been killed directly by Zhang Bin's Flying Sword.

Just how powerful was this youth? At the very least, he had to be a Golden Core Realm Expert, and surely stronger than Noguchi Taro.

Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue stood there, stunned like idiots, their faces a mixture of shock and ecstasy. Oh my God, Zhang Bin has another Flying Sword, and he keeps it in his stomach! It's a real Magical Treasure! He kills people as easily as chopping vegetables. Even a Golden Core Realm Expert is no match for him; he killed him with a single strike. It's too terrifying, utterly inconceivable!

They didn't realize that Zhang Bin had only cultivated to the Initial Liquid Realm and was far from being as powerful as Noguchi Taro. That was why he had to get as close as possible before launching his surprise attack. And because Noguchi Taro had never dreamed that Zhang Bin could use Sword Control, let alone with a Middle-Grade Flying Sword, he had let his guard down and was killed. Otherwise, the one lying dead would have been Zhang Bin, not Noguchi Taro.

The Middle-Grade Flying Sword named Blood Fang was truly magical. After the kill, it remained unstained by blood. It flew back in the blink of an eye and was swallowed back into Zhang Bin's stomach.

At the same time, he used his Telekinesis ability to pull Noguchi Taro's Flying Sword and its scabbard over to him, storing them in his Space Ring. Although it was a Low-Grade Flying Sword, it was immensely valuable—worth over a hundred billion USD. He certainly wasn't going to pass it up. He was extremely poor right now, buried in debt.

"Let's go!" Zhang Bin shouted without any delay. He grabbed Chen Chaoyue with his left hand and Ma Rufei with his right. He carried them as he flew rapidly into the air, disappearing into the high sky in the blink of an eye. The sky was pitch black, making it easy to hide. After all, it was the dead of night.

Fleeing on the ground would have been extremely dangerous. Although most of the world's experts had left Tokyo, some still lingered. Many Golden Core Realm experts from the Island Nation had also not yet departed, including Tanikawa, who had his eyes on Zhang Bin. The three of them had to get away as quickly as possible.

Luckily, Zhang Bin's Special Ability had improved tremendously after his breakthrough to the Liquid State. He could now lift objects weighing up to five hundred kilograms. Therefore, even after expending energy to launch his Flying Sword, he still had enough strength left to carry all three of them in his escape.

Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue were so shocked they were practically struck dumb. Surprise and joy washed over their faces as they realized they had escaped with their lives. We survived! We can keep hitting on girls!

But they didn't know that moments later, shrill alarms began to blare across Tokyo. Numerous Golden Core Realm Cultivators from the Island Nation rose into the sky on their Flying Swords like a swarm of locusts, beginning their pursuit of Zhang Bin and his companions.

Even more terrifying, an even more fearsome figure had joined the hunt...
