Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 459 - 452: Intensified Conflict

"Quick!! Lift every blockade! Clear the road!!"

The man in the black windbreaker roared at the troops behind him.

"Quick! Do it!!"

General Gel’s heart leaped. He seemed to have understood something and immediately roared at the soldiers behind him.

The entire legion sprang into action, completely clearing the highway before the luxury sedan arrived.

Soon, the luxury sedan sped toward them and came to a stop.

Huang Bin, sitting in the driver’s seat and wearing sunglasses despite the late hour, rolled down the window and said to General Gel, Rita, and the others, "The city is yours now."

He then rolled the window back up. Watched by countless heavily armed soldiers, the luxury sedan started again, leaving them in a cloud of dust as it sped away.

...

...

Jimis, the infamous Lawless City renowned throughout the entire Black Continent, was utterly destroyed that night.

Bartmu Hansen, a core member and key combatant of the Baiyi Organization, was brutally killed. The organization’s presence in the city was wiped out overnight in a bloody massacre. Afterward, the border troops of the Liya Republic occupied Jimis, which now had a new master.

Moreover, that same night, countless other shocking events unfolded across the Black Continent.

Forces dispatched by Donghua to various parts of the Black Continent mobilized simultaneously, launching attacks against the strongholds and affiliated powers of the Baiyi Organization and the Desolation Organization. At the same time, the Hunter’s Mark Organization also initiated a full-scale operation, suddenly launching its own strikes against Baiyi and Desolation.

Numerous strongholds of the Baiyi and Desolation organizations were eliminated, and many of their key members were killed. The news spread like wildfire, instantly shaking every organization and power in the Dark World of the Black Continent.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

「Eastern Black Continent. Soma Peninsula. Mocha.」

In a luxurious room at the Baiyi Organization headquarters.

For Bai Jiu, it was also proving to be a restless night.

A constant stream of bad news kept arriving, causing his expression to grow increasingly grim. A black magnetic field unconsciously emanated from his body, creating a terrifying pressure that made the operative delivering the reports tremble to their core.

"Chief, urgent intelligence! Jimis was hit by a surprise attack. Bartmu was killed on the spot. The attacker then proceeded to wipe out all other factions within Jimis City. The Liya Republic’s border legion has now taken control of Jimis..."

The intelligence operative rushed into the room to deliver the report to Bai Jiu.

WHOOSH!!!

In an instant, Bai Jiu shot up from his plush, luxurious chair. He snatched the report from the operative’s hands and began reading it rapidly.

His expression grew darker and darker, and he could barely contain the magnetic force leaking from his body.

"Bartmu..."

Bai Jiu muttered, his voice grim.

Losing territory and influence, no matter how much, was merely painful. It couldn’t cause him any fundamental damage.

But the death of a core member who had surpassed the limits of the human body? That kind of loss was unacceptable.

Even within the Baiyi Organization, there were very few individuals who had truly surpassed human limits. Every single one was a priceless asset, a top-tier combatant.

"Who did it? Have you found out yet? Who is responsible?"

Bai Jiu slowly lowered the documents. His voice became preternaturally calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if his previous rage had been completely cast aside.

But the operative, familiar with his chief’s temper, knew that this was when he was at his most terrifying.

"We have a lead, we’re in the process of verifying it..."

BOOM!!

Before the man could finish speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from Bai Jiu. With a casual wave of his hand, a powerful current of air sent the operative flying. He slammed heavily into a wall lined with antiques, shattering countless rare treasures. The man vomited a large mouthful of blood.

"All this time and you still haven’t figured it out? You’re useless. Years of peace and quiet have made you all soft."

"It definitely wasn’t the Hunter’s Mark Organization. Unless Dela is completely unscathed, the other Black Knights alone couldn’t possibly have killed Bartmu."

’Just who was it...?’

Bai Jiu narrowed his eyes.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Just then, the communicator on Bai Jiu’s desk began to ring. It was a call from Andy of the Desolation Organization.

Bai Jiu frowned, then picked up and answered the communicator.

"The people from Donghua have gotten involved. According to the specific intel we’ve gathered on the attacker in Jimis City—the birdsong, the starlight—these characteristics, combined with that level of power... the only one who fits is Donghua’s Immortal Bird, Zhou Yuanjue."p>

"The perpetrators in the other locations tried to hide their tracks, but we can still deduce from the clues that Donghua Martial Artists were responsible. It seems those guys from Donghua have caught wind of something."

Andy’s voice came through the communicator.

"Donghua... Zhou Yuanjue..."

A dangerous glint flashed in Bai Jiu’s eyes.

"Since Donghua has made its move, the other nations of the Far East Alliance will likely react soon. We can’t wait any longer. All operations must be moved up, effective immediately."

"Our people are already on their way; they’ll arrive in the Black Continent soon as reinforcements. Now that Donghua’s Martial Artists have shown their faces, this is the perfect opportunity. Since they dared to set foot on this continent, we’ll make sure they never leave it!"

Andy said in a grave voice.

"I understand."

"Remember, if you get any word on that Zhou Yuanjue, you must tell me."

"I will make him into a specimen, a trophy to be displayed in my private collection room."

Bai Jiu said coolly.

"Heh, that won’t be an easy task."

Andy chuckled and hung up.

...

...

Just as the powers of the Black Continent’s Dark World were reeling from this string of explosive reports, another series of shocking news broke.

Across the entire Black Continent, with a particular focus on the regions of Beihai, numerous important political figures, celebrities, and business leaders were targeted in a frenzied wave of assassinations. The overnight death toll was staggering, directly causing immense turmoil across the continent’s political, business, and social spheres.

Subsequently, anti-government organizations under various banners sprang up like mushrooms after a spring rain all across the Black Continent, simultaneously igniting the flames of war in multiple nations, with the Beihai region at the epicenter.

Just the day before, the entire Black Continent had been at peace, its populace indulging in the illusion of stability. But after a single night, vast stretches of the land had been plunged into war and chaos.

Overnight, it was like two different worlds.

The conflict had completely escalated and erupted.

This monumental upheaval shocked not only the Black Continent but the entire world. Those with a keen sense for such things could clearly feel the shadow of war and slaughter beginning to bare its fangs, threatening to cast a pall over the entire globe.
