Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Right after Tenku and the two girls left that place, several people came and were shocked when they saw the scene there. They were nearby cultivators and Realizers who felt the power fluctuations from Tenku's attack.

Some of them had passed through the area and were sure that the place in front of them was full of large trees and several small hills a moment ago. But now that area has become a vast barren land, which happened in just one night. It felt so terrible for them.

The cultivators and Realizers had searched the entire area for the culprit. Unfortunately, they didn't find anyone there. They also found no blood or bodies in that place, as no one was injured in that incident. Some of them assumed that the scene was not caused by humans but by something else.

"What happened here?" A middle-aged man asked. He is one of the senior Realizers in the China organization.

"Did a natural disaster hit this place?" a middle-aged woman added another question. She was a high-level cultivator who had a business near that location.

"No. This destruction was not caused by a natural disaster but by battle. I can say it because I felt Qi fluctuation from this place before." An old male cultivator responded to the middle-aged female cultivator's words.

"Yes, I also feel the fluctuation of genesis power from here." a female Realizer nodded in agreement with the old cultivator.

"In that case, this damage was caused by the big battle between cultivators and Realizers?" The middle-aged male Realizer asked in shock.

"I think this isn't a group war like you think but a one-on-one fight between a cultivator and a Realizer." the old male cultivator shook his head and refuted his words.

"Impossible! How could a battle between two people change the terrain to this extent!?" The male Realizer couldn't believe the battle between two people caused the scene before him.

"That's not impossible if the ones fighting here are high-level Realizers and cultivators. That cultivator at least has a cultivation base in the innate realm while the Realizer is in the planetary phase." The old cultivator gave his opinion.

"Why do you think the Realizer is on the Planetary phase, not the Moon? Judging from the power level, isn't a cultivator at the innate realm equal to a Realizer at the Moon phase?" The male Realizer asked.

"You are right. But that only applies if the grade of your Phantasmal Object is high enough, at least B rank and above. If the grade is below that, then you need one level higher in strength to fight against cultivators in the innate realm.

Moreover, a practitioner in the innate realm could use the heaven and earth aura in the battle. So they are more efficient in using their energy than Realizers." The old cultivator explained. The surrounding people nodded in satisfaction after hearing his answer. But then, someone opened her mouth in response to his words.

"What you said earlier made sense, but that's impossible. Firstly, not a single cultivator in China has been able to break through the innate realm for dozens of years. If such a person existed, then I would know him.

Second, a high-level Realizer with a Planetary phase couldn't move carelessly, let alone engage in a battle that destroyed the surrounding area. Besides, I'm sure the other Realizers from the Chinese organization will notice if a high-level Realizer is fighting here. Are my words true?" The female cultivator looked at the female Realizer.

"You are right. We could identify high-level Realizers carrying out missions in this area. That way, the Realizers around the place could be alert and ready when they received a call from the organization for reinforcements.

Whether to help with the mission or evacuate the citizens to clear the area when the situation becomes dangerous." The female Realizer answered. But before they could respond, she opened her mouth again.

"It's not like we can only know the whereabouts of high-level Realizers when they're on a mission. If they accidentally encountered an enemy somewhere and engaged in battle, their dimension watch would automatically signal the organization once it sensed that the use of genesis power was exceeding its limit.

Of course, that only applies to high-level Realizers since the existence of a senior Realizer like me isn't that important to the organization. Besides, I don't have a dimension watch. But there is still another possibility besides what I have explained." The female Realizer stopped her explanation and looked at the people around her.

"Do you mean illegal Realizer?" the old cultivator asked.

"Yes. The person fighting in this place was probably an illegal Realizer and an unknown cultivator in the innate realm. Thus, we should not speculate recklessly. It would be better to leave this matter to the organizations and the city lord. They would investigate and find those two people if they weren't dead. After all, people who could cause this damage were extremely dangerous if left alone." The female Realizer warned the people around her.

She didn't want them to spread baseless conjectures and create misunderstandings between cultivators and Realizers. If that happened, the two sides might clash, and there would be a war between Realizers and Cultivators.

"I understand. I will immediately report this matter to the city lord." The old cultivator nodded and left the place.

"Thank you for your understanding." The female Realizer lowered her head towards the old cultivator and looked at the male Realizer.

"I need you to stay here for a while while I inspect the area one more time and report this matter to the organization." The female Realizer said to the middle-aged man. Even though they are both seniors, her positions are slightly higher.

"I understand." The male Realizer quickly agreed and didn't mind if the woman gave him instructions.

"Thank You." The female Realizer smiled and left them.

"I hoped this incident wasn't caused by a monster and wasn't a bad omen." The female Realizer said in a low voice, and her face became solemn.

***

After Tenku and the two girls left the area, they separated. Tenku asked Huang Yuxin to return to the Huang family's mansion because it was late, and the girl looked exhausted after the battle.

At first, Huang Yuxin refused and wanted to accompany Tenku to the Wang family's residence because she was worried that the Gu family would set up another ambush. But after Wang Ruyue coaxed her, she finally agreed to return to the Huang family's mansion. Tenku couldn't hear their conversation because the two suddenly kept their distance from him. He didn't care about it because the important thing was that Huang Yuxin listened to Wang Ruyue's words.

After returning to the Wang family residence, Tenku asked Wang Ruyue to report this matter to Wang Haotian first because he had something to do. He also asked the girl to repair his smartphone because he didn't know where to do it.

Wang Ruyue was happy to help him because she knew one of the Wang family's disciples who could repair Tenku's smartphone. Tenku's face softened when he saw the girl smile and walk with light steps into the gate of the Wang family's mansion

Tenku quickly left the place after Wang Ruyue disappeared from her sight. He remembered seeing an empty field not far from the Wang family residence. The surrounding environment is relatively quiet because people rarely pass through that place.

It didn't take long for him to reach his destination. When he arrived, Tenku checked his surroundings to ensure no one was around.

After Tenku was sure that the place was completely deserted, he activated the barrier array he got from the Gu family when they ambushed him in Badaling National Forest Park. Then he manifested the Devourer Scythe and used its abilities.

"Phantasmal Release..."

Thousands of green light particles appeared, gathered at one point, and condensed into a centipede. It was only ten meters and much smaller than the centipede that Tenku usually summoned.

The centipede did not appear alone because two people were in its coils. They were Wang Jun and Wang Minghao. Both of them had large wounds on their bodies and were in an unconscious state.

When Tenku told Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin that he gave another order to the centipede, he asked it to arrest Wang Minghao and Wang Jun and lock them up in a special dimension where that creature resided.

Unfortunately, that space couldn't hold living beings for too long. If Tenku confined the two people for more than three hours, their bodies would turn into particles, be swallowed up by the centipede, and become a source of energy for him.

Apart from that, Tenku also gave orders for the centipede to swallow the corpses of people from the Gu family and clean up the blood at the scene.

Tenku captured the two people alive as he still had questions for them. He took a bottle of mineral water from his space pocket and poured it on their heads to wake them up.

Splash!

"Wake up!" Tenku said.

"Urgh!"

"Argh!"

Wang Minghao and Wang Jun regained consciousness after Tenku doused them with water. But they were in pain when they tried to move their bodies. Wang Minghao and Wang Jun opened their eyes and were shocked when they saw the person before them.

"You!"

Both of them were angry when they saw Tenku. He was the one who had killed Wang Xiqing and seriously injured them. But then the father and son realized they couldn't move because they were in the huge centipede's coils, and they felt something was wrong with their current situation.

"Where is this!? Where is Gu Yuxuan!? Shouldn't you be fighting him!?" Wang Minghao looked around and asked. He was sure they had fought Tenku in a place full of trees and small hills. But now, he was in a field that was familiar to him.

"I'm the one who will ask and not you. But if you want to know about that old man, he's dead. So I hope you can cooperate well with me and answer all my questions if you don't want to suffer the same fate as him." Tenku looked at Wang Minghao and said coldly.

"Impossible! I know how powerful Gu Yuxuan is. A brat like you won't be able to kill him!" Wang Minghap raised his voice in disbelief.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. But now, you must answer my question." Tenku replied indifferently.

"You want to get information from us? You're dreaming! We won't say anything to you even if you kill us!" Wang Minghao said with determination.

"I understand. In that case, how about this." Tenku nodded and thrust his scythe into Wang Jun's arm.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Wang Jun howled in pain as his pierced arm became particles and absorbed into the Devourer Scythe. The pain he felt was far more terrifying than death.

"So, do you want to talk already? If you're still stubborn, I'll have to do it again on the other arm." Tenku wanted to thrust the Devourer Scythe into Wang Jun's other arm but stopped after hearing the other party's voice.

"I will say it! I will answer whatever you ask me! So please stop that!?" Wang Jun said frantically.

"What are you saying, Jun'er!? Stop it!? Don't say anything to him!?" Wang Minghao shouted angrily at Wang Jun, but his son ignored him.

"Good. It is a wise choice. First question, what have you planned with the Gu family?" Tenku looked straight into Wang Jun's eyes and asked seriously.
