Kadir thought he had won when his third thrust pierced Tang Shaoyang's heart. However, he soon noticed the grin on Tang Shaoyang's face. Tang Shaoyang grabbed the side of Kadir's body and used Heavenly Crushing Grasp. 

Kadir's face scrunched in pain as his ribs and organs were crushed. His body twisted in a weird way as his body weakly fell, but Tang Shaoyang caught him by the neck with his left hand, "You need to make sure that your enemy is dead. That's a basic in a life and death battle."

Tang Shaoyang followed with Heavenly Shattering Palm, right on the face. Kadir's teeth broke into pieces, his nose broke, and his face inwardly dented. His neck bent backward, but Tang Shaoyang did not stop there. He used the last breath to use The Fourth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Force - Heavenly Crushing Strike. The punch landed right in the face, sending Kadir flying backward. Tang Shaoyang's hands went weak as blood spurted out of his chest, but he still remained standing. His eyes closed while blood trickled from his mouth.

Meanwhile, Kadir's body was also not moving, but the swordsman was still breathing. He was still alive even though his inside was in a mess and his face dented inward. His head was buzzing from the punch, and he lost his hearing. He realized that Tang Shaoyang lured him to get closer and purposely received his strike to catch him. However, he did not understand why his target received his strike. He was caught and dying, but his target also died from his strike.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

'I can understand why The White Mystery asked me to eliminate this guy. He is a lunatic, and he has the unpolished power in him. This lunatic might break the balance in the God Realm if he reaches the God Realm.' Kadir made a high evaluation of Tang Shaoyang. He could not believe that he almost died from fighting merely a Primordial Rank. 

"Wow, he almost killed you," The voice rang in his head, and he knew whose voice that was. She was one of the White Mystery Candidates' members, and his informant for his target. Kadir was relieved to hear her voice, meaning he would not die today.

She was the same person who invited Tang Shaoyang to join the White Mystery. Still wearing the same straw hat and all black, she stood next to Tang Shaoyang's dead body, staring right into his face, "Fortunately, I decided to report it back and ask to send someone else. I will die if I fight him." She was nearby all the time, watching the fight from a safe distance. The fight was a sight to behold. The supposedly easy fight for her comrade, yet it turned into the life and death battle.

"He could escape from the God Rank, but he died in your hand. You can be proud of that, Kadir. He is just an Ancient Rank when he escaped the God Rank," The Informant turned around, approaching the dying Kadir.

Kadir would spat back at her if not for his condition. He could not speak with his current condition and was in dire need of a healing potion. However, he really wondered how his target escaped God Rank's chase while in Ancient Rank. That was more than an amazing feat for that low rank. Even if God Rank took it easy, his target should not be able to escape from God Rank. He would never get the answer because the person had died.

Kadir's eyes stared at The Informant intensely, signaling her to be quick with the potion. Their eyes met, and he could tell that she was smiling at him despite his condition, "You know, I can kill you and take your possession, but I am kind enough not to do that." She just took out the healing potion, and suddenly the battle ax pierced her chest from the back, going through to the front. The worst part was that Kadir recognized the battle ax.

The potion fell from her hand, and he was about to reach the potion, but Tang Shaoyang's faster. He caught the potion and stored it in his inventory. He did not want to take the risk of destroying the vial. A drop of that healing potion might help Kadir to fight back. Then he reached her neck from the side.

"D-do-don't… ki…" Tang Shaoyang did not let her finish the words as he used Heavenly Crushing Grasp, crushing her neck. He did not stop there, he followed with Heavenly Crushing Strike. Her head exploded and her body fell immediately.

Tang Shaoyang was stark naked, standing on Kadir's feet who was in his last breath. He was standing, and Kadir was on the ground, "How does it feel to be killed by someone who does not have the basics?"

The majestic Little Shaoyang was too hard to ignore as his eyeballs moved a little toward Little Shaoyang before meeting Tang Shaoyang's eyes. There was a frown on his forehead, trying to understand how the man was still alive after he pierced the three hearts. He could understand it if he only pierced one or two hearts, but he got all three.

"You must be confused about why I am still alive when I am supposed to die, right?" Tang Shaoyang came right next to Kadir's head.

Kadir could not speak, he was not in the condition to speak. He stared at Tang Shaoyang, thinking how the man who was supposed to die was standing in front of him with no injuries, at all. His eyes widened as he recalled the wound on the chest, his eyes moved to Tang Shaoyang's chest and he could not see the wound. He used his Sword Energy. It would take time to recover from his sword energy with just natural regeneration. Also, why is the man naked? That was just another confusing thing. There was no way his target was naked just to show the donger.

Then he realized what happened, everything, the most likely possibility his target was still alive and kicking. He killed his target, and the man died, but he was resurrected. His target had a resurrection skill, and that was how his target could escape from the God Rank. His target never escaped the God Rank, but he died and came back alive. That was not impossible with a skill. Everything made sense now, why the man received his strike. It did not mean to bring him down, but to kill him.

"Hoho, you have figured out?" Tang Shaoyang could see the change of expression on Kadir's face. He guessed Kadir had some guests about why he was still alive, "Then this is a goodbye between us."

"W-wa-wait…" At the last moment, Kadir managed to speak. His natural regeneration helped him to get his voice back, "Do-don't k-kill me… I w-will be your slave… Anything… I will do anything, don't kill me."

That was the last hope for Kadir to keep his life. This was the only way for him to escape from death, "I w-will take an oath… I will be your slave…" He was Demi-God Rank, on the verge of reaching God Rank. He believed his target would be tempted to accept the offer. Of course, he did not plan to be Tang Shaoyang's slave. He just tried to trick Tang Shaoyang into not killing him.

There were two ways to nullify the oath that he knew of. The first would be the Feather of Oathbreaker. That was the feather of a void's creature to break the oath. The second option would be the ascension to the God Rank. That could help to break the oath. While he did not have the Feather of the Oathbreaker, he could just ascend right away to the God Rank after Tang Shaoyang used a healing potion on him.

Without a doubt, Tang Shaoyang was tempted to take Kadir with him as a slave. Unfortunately for Kadir, he offered the deal at the wrong time. Tang Shaoyang knew there was an item called the Feather of Oathbreaker. He assumed Kadir must have it if Kadir had a connection to the God Rank. That item must not be rare as it was in this lower world. Another thing that made him not consider the offer was because he was in dire need of level and killing the Demi-God Rank would give him more levels than killing a Legend Rank.

"Nice try, buddy," Tang Shaoyang raised the battle ax and stabbed it right to Kadir's head.
