“For someone so young to have achieved such feats is indeed rare in this world! Alas, the malice in your heart is too great; if today this old monk does not guide you onto the right path, you will surely become a demon!”

Master Long Eyebrow brought his hands together in prayer; his expression started to turn solemn.

Julius Reed’s abilities far exceeded his expectations, especially his mastery of Inner Strength, which piqued Master Long Eyebrow’s curiosity.

At the same time, this also solidified his resolve to root out the problem!

As long as the man died, he was confident he could erase all traces of Julius Reed from this world so thoroughly that even if the sect behind him were to investigate, they would never discover his involvement.

“The Master flatters me! However, you needn’t worry; I have no great power behind me, merely a solitary individual.”

Julius Reed stood with his hands clasped behind his back, grinning at Master Long Eyebrow.

He firmly believed that behind Master Long Eyebrow there must be an even more powerful character, the one they referred to as ‘master.’

Once back, Julius Reed planned to investigate the backgrounds of the two monks in order to better prepare for the future.

“Young brother, your sins are grave; better to surrender without a fight! Today there is no escaping your fate!”

Master Long Eyebrow watched Julius Reed warily, thinking the other’s words were but an excuse, hoping to be spared this once.

But having spent years within the martial world, could he be unaware of such things?

If word got out, not only he and his junior disciples would be implicated, but even his own master would suffer the consequences.

After all, a martial artist of such young age and skill in Inner Strength was exceedingly rare!

“It seems the Master doesn’t intend to let me go?”

Julius Reed’s eyebrows rose, and simultaneously, the aura of death around him began to spread.

As time passed, he remembered more and more, and his abilities grew increasingly stronger.

Compared to when he first awoke his memories, his strength had increased by at least two whole levels!

“Your wrongdoing is profound, and this old monk cannot stand idly by!”

Master Long Eyebrow brought his hands together in prayer once more and began chanting scriptures again.

Deep and low voices permeated the villa’s courtyard, and at first listen, it felt as though a mighty army thundered toward them!

At that moment, a dazzling golden light burst forth from Master Long Eyebrow, and his figure began to grow larger.

In the end, he became as large as a Buddha statue in a temple.

“Benefactor, you have gravely sinned. If you are willing to stay by my side, Buddha will forgive your transgressions!”

The figure of Buddha that Master Long Eyebrow had transformed into spoke with a deep voice, not loud, but ringing in the mind like a great bell.

The member of the Leopold Family who had just finished calling Whitley Leopold did not leave, but instead stood at a distance, silently observing.

He could never have dreamed of witnessing a battle of this level with his own eyes.

Yet as soon as the Buddha figure appeared, this member of the Leopold Family seemed to lose his soul, laboriously stepping out from the woods and slowly making his way to Master Long Eyebrow’s feet.

Then, with a “thump,” he knelt on the ground.

“Buddha, please forgive my sins! In my life, I, Leopold of the North, have killed three people, and I secretly plotted against a female college student, causing her to lose her mind, and to this day she has not recovered her senses!”

“Amongst the three people I killed was my best friend, merely because of uneven distribution of assets in our business venture, so I quietly murdered him and disposed of his body in the river, claiming he went abroad to start a business.”

“Buddha, please forgive my sins!”

Leopold of the North’s eyes were vacant, no longer aware of what he was saying.

Drool flowed continuously from the corner of his mouth, no different from someone insane.

But the next moment, a smile of relief appeared on his face.

Then, Leopold of the North took a small knife from his pocket and plunged it into his heart!

Until death, his face bore a smile of liberation.

“You have killed countless in your life, but Buddha is merciful, offering you a chance for redemption!”

The illusion Master Long Eyebrow had conjured was still unfolding, beginning to invade Julius Reed’s consciousness.

“Master, how may I cleanse myself of my sins?”

Julius Reed pressed his hands together in prayer, his gaze as vacant as Whitley Leopold’s had been.

Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on the face of the “Buddha” statue, vanishing as quickly as it had come.

“To lay down the butcher’s knife is to become a Buddha on the spot. Do you see the dagger below? Simply drive it into your heart, and you will wash away the sins you have committed!”

An exceedingly compassionate voice came from all directions, instantly enveloping Julius Reed.

“Thank you, Buddha!”

Julius Reed bowed deeply in devotion and slowly walked towards Whitley Leopold’s corpse.

“The sea of suffering is boundless, yet turning back is the shore.”

The sound, like a great bell, resounded once more!

Amidst the chanting, Julius Reed reached Whitley Leopold’s corpse, pulled out the dagger, and pressed it against his heart.

Upon seeing this, the golden statue in the sky once again revealed a smile, and the chanting from its mouth quickened.

Just as the razor-sharp blade was about to touch his chest, Julius Reed abruptly looked up, the dullness in his eyes vanishing in an instant, replaced by a killing intent!

“If it must be so, today I will slay gods as they block my path, and Buddhas too!”

Slice!

The dagger in his hand shot out, tearing through the air, and stabbed towards the Buddha statue’s third eye!

“Boom!”

The Buddha statue in the sky, with a solemn expression, swiftly struck out a palm!

To everyone’s surprise, the golden light, upon contact with the dagger, was outright torn apart!

Boom!

The Buddha statue exploded in an instant!

The world reverted back to how it had been before.

In front of Julius Reed, Master Long Eyebrow took a step back, his expression more serious than ever.

“You ambushed me!”

He slowly extended his right hand, revealing a dagger shimmering with a red light impaling the palm; blood was dripping down steadily.

“Not at all! I just covertly replaced that ordinary dagger with the ‘Divine Punishment’.”

Julius Reed smiled faintly without haste to make a move.

“Your mind is truly strong; this old monk has exhausted all his life’s work and yet failed to hypnotize you!”

Master Long Eyebrow looked at the dagger embedded in his palm, shook his head, and said, “Indeed, I have been complacent and underestimated you, falling for your ruse! ‘Divine Punishment’ is a treasure of Ghost Punishment, how did it come into your possession?”

The red light from the dagger grew stronger, and the surrounding skin began to wither at a visibly rapid pace, the decay showing signs of spreading further.

“Once, there was someone just as arrogant and vain as you, who tried to assassinate me while I was eating an apple. Consequently, this knife became my tool for peeling fruit.”

Julius Reed spoke calmly, but his words made Master Long Eyebrow shudder.

Ghost Punishment was an extremely secret organization, often undertaking various assassination missions, moving without a trace. Ordinary people found it difficult to follow their trail.

Now that this Ghost Punishment Treasure was in his palm, could it be true, as the young man said, that it had been wrested from the hands of the Ghost King?

“It matters not who you are, I must convert you today!”

After chanting to himself, Master Long Eyebrow’s eyes suddenly shot open!

At the same time, his left hand chopped down!

Severing his right arm, which had already withered to half its former self!
