Chapter 111: The Black-Clad Dharma King Arrives!
Page 1/3
Gong Jiu turned her head and said to the others behind her, “Everyone, watch closely... now, you are about to see the real tunnel...”
Clang! A large door on the side swung open. Seeing the wide eyes of the crowd, Gong Jiu’s face lit up with excitement.
“I told you I wouldn’t lie! Look at your surprised faces~~”
Surprised? Sui Yi smiled wryly—it was more like shocked.
But in the next moment, Gong Jiu heard a sharp *swish*.
The Flower Demon Fei and the others simultaneously raised their guns!
The gun barrels pointed directly at her!
“Hey, you guys...”
Gong Jiu furrowed her brows. At a glance from Sui Yi, she quickly dodged to the side.
Just in time, a long blade fiercely slashed down at her original spot!
*Shing!*
The blade left a mark, carving a sharp groove over three meters long on the ground.
At the tunnel entrance stood a tall, cold-faced man dressed in a plain black robe. His skin was pale as blood, his expression rigid, yet his movements were extremely agile.
One slash from his blade had terrified the Flower Demon Fei and the others.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out in rapid succession.
Bullets were fired at close range, but the terrifying thing was...
With a swift rotation of the blade, a wave of steel deflected most of the bullets back...
“Damn!”
Bang bang bang!
Three people were hit and fell in the blink of an eye. Ma Ge and the others rolled on the ground to avoid death, while Sui Yi bent her body, spinning the Xieya dagger in her hand; its spine clangingly blocked a bullet.
The force was so strong she was knocked flying, but she pushed off the wall to steady herself. “This must be the Law King A Gu Na mentioned!”
Sui Yi’s words suddenly made everyone recall the two warnings from A Gu Na earlier, filling them with deep regret.
At that time, they thought A Gu Na was just trying to scare them, but now it seemed he was genuinely warning them.
Alas, regret was too late.
“Gong Jiu, you’re going to get us killed this time!” Flower Demon Fei shouted from behind a bookshelf, firing while dodging.
“Tch, whether I bring you or not, the Law King is right there. You’re going to face him anyway!”
“Get lost!”
The black-robed Law King stepped out of the tunnel entrance. Behind him was the descending tunnel. Sui Yi and the others aimed at that entrance and suddenly burst forward together!
Ma Ge and the others stopped shooting and attacked. Sui Yi and the rest charged with their curved swords, long whips, knives, and daggers flashing.
Bang bang bang!
Sui Yi, Gong Jiu, Flower Demon Fei, Shen Di, Feng Sha, Zhang Wei, and A Hai were the best in close combat.
Ma Ge’s group excelled with firearms, while Lin Feng and the others were more like bystanders.
Of course, Lin Feng was the medic, so his strategic value was crucial.
“Amazing!”
Lin Feng, holding his gun nearby, was astonished watching Sui Yi and the others—so fierce and ruthless—surround the black-robed Law King.
Are these even human? Their speed and attacks could easily surpass any boxing champion from Ali or the United States!
Ma Ge grinned, “There are plenty of strong fighters in Greater China! But among the younger generation, such talent is rare.”
Having spent time with Gong Jiu, Ma Ge knew something about her background and had broad horizons. The ‘youngsters’ he referred to were naturally Gong Jiu, Flower Demon Fei, and Sui Yi—the three strongest fighters.
But the most frightening was...
Ma Ge’s gaze fixed on Sui Yi.
Who exactly was this girl?
At first, he thought she was just a reluctant ally forced by Gong Jiu, a useless tagalong.
But now...
Bang bang bang!
Several of Feng Sha’s group were knocked back, especially Feng Sha himself, already wounded in the left arm. His combat effectiveness plummeted. After hitting the wall, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Along with A Hai and Zhang Wei, three had already been knocked out of the fight in the blink of an eye.
The four women, including Sui Yi, were barely holding on...
“Can’t hold out any longer!”
“Retreat?”

Sui Yi narrowly dodged a blade, a cut opened on her shoulder, searing with pain.
She spun around, wielding the Xieya dagger in a rotating throwing knife technique!
*Swoosh!*
The flying knife left a white scratch across the Law King’s chest. His expression froze, his deep pupils fixed on Sui Yi. After a moment, he moved his feet and surged forward with a roar!
Targeting the strongest!
Targeting Sui Yi!
Sui Yi shifted her footing, dodging aside, “You guys go in!”
*Swish!*
No time for hesitation!
They needed perfect coordination!
Flower Demon Fei and the others slipped through the tunnel entrance behind, while Ma Ge and the others jumped out from behind the bookshelf, retreating toward the entrance while firing bullets to harass the Law King, easing the pressure on Sui Yi.
Gong Jiu’s marksmanship was the best. Leaning against the tunnel wall, she fired several shots that hit the Law King’s arm or the back of his blade just as it was about to strike Sui Yi’s vital points.
“Sui Yi, hurry!”
“Damn, this monster is so powerful!”
Even under a hail of bullets, the Law King blocked every strike flawlessly with his blade. Gong Jiu thought even martial arts movies didn’t portray such skill!
This was more like a fantasy film!
Sui Yi feinted, slipping her foot and running toward the tunnel entrance...
But then...
*Bang!*
Sui Yi was pinned against the wall, the Xieya dagger blocking the Law King’s blade in front of her.
The terrifying force pressed down slowly, the blade’s edge a hair’s breadth from her neck...
The next moment, it could slice through her throat.
Sui Yi’s arm bones creaked loudly.
The intensity of the struggle was unimaginable!
Ma Ge and Gong Jiu rushed out the tunnel behind her. Flower Demon Fei’s long whip lashed toward the Law King’s eyes.
But as they reached, *crack!*
Gong Jiu’s face changed sharply, “Sui Yi!”
What was that sound?
Was it... the sound of a broken arm?
Cold sweat beaded on Sui Yi’s forehead. Gritting her teeth, her palm suddenly radiated a burning green light...
So dazzling.
With a low shout,
*Bang!*
The Law King was pushed back.
*Swoosh!*
Gong Jiu helped Sui Yi inside the tunnel. Just as they stepped through the entrance, Gong Jiu quickly pressed a button nearby...
*Clang!*
The door slammed shut.
Gong Jiu stared at the Law King outside with hatred. The mad figure lunged wildly, roaring something incoherent...
*Bang!*
The door was firmly closed.
In the instant after closing, at least seven people coughed up blood.
The Law King was just too strong; everyone who engaged him in close combat was injured.
Especially Feng Sha, clutching his arm, face pale. Lin Feng quickly tended his wounds.
On the other side, Sui Yi leaned against the wall, her normally fair face now weak and pale, all color drained from her lips. Her left hand supported her right, teeth clenched.
Gong Jiu was drenched in cold sweat, even more than Sui Yi, but forced herself to stay calm. “How are you? Is your hand broken? Can I touch it?”
She feared that if she touched it, Sui Yi’s hand might shatter.
Flower Demon Fei slapped her lightly, “Look at you, so useless. Step aside and don’t mess around, I’ll handle this.”
In moments like these, Flower Demon Fei was much more decisive. She squatted, carefully touching Sui Yi’s right hand, cautious not to twist it further.
“Does it hurt?”

“No,” Sui Yi shook her head.
“How about now?”
“No pain.”
“Damn, are you just holding it in? Look at all the cold sweat!” Flower Demon Fei was speechless but felt some sympathy.
After all, Sui Yi was a girl even younger than her. They had faced life and death together several times on this journey, and besides... she had even saved her before.
“Don’t hold it in. Tell me where it hurts. Is it broken? I can help set the bone...”
Sui Yi stopped her, a faint smile curling at her lips, “I’ll do it myself.”
“You? Yourself?” Flower Demon Fei’s amber eyes shimmered, incredulous.
Every martial artist had experienced fractures during training, always needing others to massage and set the bones.
Few could reset their own bones, especially since the pain was unbearable.
But Sui Yi...
Before Gong Jiu and the others could object, Sui Yi covered her right hand, took a deep breath, and twisted her fingers several times.
*Crack!*
The narrow tunnel echoed the sound sharply.
Everyone present shuddered in their hearts.
Yet, Sui Yi did not utter a sound throughout.
“Strong! Truly strong!”
“Amazing...”
They all admired her deeply from their hearts.
So resilient!
Sui Yi reset her bones but did not tell anyone that one of her finger bones was broken.
The pain came from there.
Moving her right hand unnaturally caused sharp pain in her index finger.
“Let’s leave here first. We can’t be sure if the Law King will trigger any traps.”
Thinking of the terrifying Law King, who was like a stone statue in his numbness but deadly in combat, they decided to leave as soon as possible.
As the group moved, Sui Yi quietly gathered magnetic energy at the broken bone in her index finger.
Healing the bone would consume a lot of magnetic power.
--------
Half an hour later.
The group passed through a narrow, deep corridor. Their footsteps were incredibly light, as if they wished to float in the air...
Because along this narrow corridor, on both sides stood...
Rows of coffins, upright and lined against the walls.
Ma Ge rubbed his arms anxiously.
His lips pressed tightly as he tugged at Feng Sha’s sleeve, whispering, “Bro, I swear, have we walked into a zombie horde?”
Feng Sha rolled his eyes, “Don’t talk nonsense! Where would there be zombies?”
“Zombies,” or “jiangshi,” is the term grave robbers use for the undead.
Gong Jiu silently checked her gun, frowning. “Too bad we didn’t bring garlic, otherwise...”
Everyone exchanged looks, sensing something off.
“Chinese zombies aren’t afraid of garlic. You’re thinking of foreign vampires! So ignorant, it’s scary!” Flower Demon Fei jeered.
Gong Jiu scowled, “Vampires fear crosses, Chinese zombies fear garlic...”
“Garlic? Afraid of bad breath?” Flower Demon Fei retorted.
“Of course, like yours.”
“Heh heh heh, that’s fine, but I must warn you, Miss Gong, Chinese jiangshi really like Aunt Flo~~”
Gong Jiu’s face instantly turned green.
