"Your Shankou Family is now reduced to ashes. Do you plan to go to Hell and build a new Shankou Family there?" Lu Tianxing questioned Shankou Ikoh with a smile.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Shankou Ikoh’s face changed dramatically. He desperately shook his head, trying to convey his thoughts to Lu Tianxing.

However, before Shankou Ikoh could speak, he felt a chilling sensation. Raising his head, he saw a massive True Qi Palm Seal roaring towards him. Within the palm, the sky flipped upside down, yin and yang were in chaos, and the whole world seemed to vanish. All that remained in front of him was that palm.

Sky Flipping Seal!

"No, you’re not keeping your word..."

Shankou Ikoh let out an extremely shrill scream.

"Boom!"

The mighty force did not pause for Shankou Ikoh’s screams as it continued its suppression. His head was crushed into his chest by the overwhelming force, and as the Sky Flipping Seal continued to press down, the sound of bones breaking incessantly echoed. Shankou Ikoh was smashed into a pulp of flesh, the blood and mud mix exuding a strong stench of blood.

Glancing at Shankou Ikoh, Lu Tianxing’s expression remained unchanged. His figure flickered and vanished from the spot. For him, the Shankou Family was thoroughly annihilated. As long as the remaining small fry were dealt with, the operation would be complete.

Half an hour later, there was no sound left in the entire Shankou Family. Lu Tianxing and Angel and others had long since left the Shankou Family. Only corpses lay scattered on the ground, blood mingled, reflecting a grotesque glow under the light, sending chills down one’s spine.

At this moment, the entire Shankou Family resembled a hell on earth, with no survivors in sight, and a thick atmosphere of blood hung in the air, nauseatingly so.

"Tap!" "Tap!" "Tap!"

Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps echoed through the Shankou Family, sending a shiver down one’s spine.

Accompanied by the footsteps, a shadow stretched long under the light; an elderly man in a kimono emerged from a corner. Staring at the scene of widespread death, his eyes brimmed with deep-seated hatred and murderous intent: "Third Young Master of Lu Family, Third Young Master of Lu Family, just you wait. I will tear you to pieces, leaving you with no place to be buried. I will become your worst nightmare in this lifetime."

With his words, an overwhelming killing intent radiated from the old man, centered around him, causing the air within dozens of meters to plummet as if it could freeze water instantly.

"Hah, thinking of becoming the Third Young Master of Lu Family’s nightmare, Shankou Ikoh, do you really think you have a chance?"

At that moment, a mocking voice echoed in the air.

With the voice, a figure appeared out of thin air on the rooftop of a building.

"Who!"

After hearing this, the old man’s face turned somber as his sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, finally landing on the figure standing on the rooftop, his murderous intent soared to the sky.

Under the light, it was clear that this old man looked almost identical to Shankou Ikoh, whom Lu Tianxing had just slain, without much of a difference.

This old man was the real Clan Leader of the Shankou Family, Shankou Ikoh. Always cautious, he believed a wise man does not set himself under a dangerous wall. Thus, since becoming the Clan Leader of the Shankou Family, he secretly found someone who closely resembled him, secretly controlled him, and used him as his public spokesperson, while he manipulated things from behind the scenes. Generally, he would appear, but when danger arose, this spokesperson would take his place in public.

After learning Lu Tianxing arrived in Tokyo, he had this spokesperson appear for him. Though he wasn’t sure what Lu Tianxing had up his sleeve, it was clear that Lu Tianxing was definitely not easy to deal with. For someone who believed a wise man does not set himself under a dangerous wall, appearing at that time was out of the question, so he hid in a secret room, letting the puppet be in the front line.

However, Shankou Ikoh never imagined Lu Tianxing’s power was so terrifying, that he annihilated the Shankou Family completely, leaving no one behind.

"Shankou Ikoh, my identity doesn’t matter. What matters is, you must die today."

The figure on the rooftop was shrouded completely in a black robe, the face hidden from view, even under the light, the light could not penetrate the darkness enshrouding it.

This old man was none other than the true Clan Leader of the Shankou Family, Shankou Ikoh. The one who died at Lu Tianxing’s hands was merely a decoy he specially found for emergencies.

"Kill me? Then let’s see if you have the ability. Die!"

Upon hearing the Black Shadow’s words, Shankou Ikoh roared angrily and leaped, soaring into the sky like an eagle before descending. Five fingers reaching towards the black figure, True Qi surging, descending like a mountain.

"Useless, die."

The black figure stood motionlessly, flicked their finger, a beam of light shot out from the fingertip.

"Splurt!"

Before Shankou Ikoh could react, he only felt a chill at his throat, followed by a dizzying sensation as his head was severed from his body, blood spurted forth immediately.

One strike!

With one strike, Shankou Ikoh was killed by the black figure whose face could not be seen.

After slaying Shankou Ikoh, the black figure’s arm slowly exhaled, the gleam that killed Shankou Ikoh swirled in the air, akin to something alive, swiftly vanishing into the folds of the tall robe of the black figure, gone without a trace.

Immediately, the black figure did not linger, its form flickered and vanished from the site completely, disappearing without a trace.

Lu Tianxing, at this moment, had no idea the man he killed was not the real Shankou Ikoh but merely a puppet for appearances.

Although Shankou Ikoh foresaw the downfall of the Shankou Family and used a decoy to evade Lu Tianxing, ultimately, he could not escape fate and perished at the hands of a black-clad individual.

After leaving the Shankou Family, Lu Tianxing signaled Angel to have Mandala and others to rendezvous with Starving Ghost and the others, then set off alone, intending to return to the hotel.

Before he got far, Lu Tianxing encountered Dechuan Qianxiang, who invited him into the car.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Lu Tianxing rolled down the window, lit a cigarette for himself, and gazed out at the unusually quiet Tokyo night, the corners of his mouth curling into a bloodthirsty smile. The first step was completed, now it was Ashida Ikeda’s turn.
