Chapter 109: Murder and Arson Lead to Golden Belts
Page 1/3
Within the fortress city of D, inside a high-end hotel, Murakawa, the chief of Ghost Island Continent, along with a group of senior officials from Ghost Island, had finally managed—after much pleading and begging—to invite the Dragon Continent delegation inside.
Just as he was about to take his leave and tend to his injuries, a subordinate burst in, panic-stricken, shouting, “Chief, it’s... it’s bad! Lord Gu Sha went to Base 7 to find Jiujü and the Demon Blade but came up empty. In a fury, he stormed into the military base, seized a nuclear bomb, and declared that if the people aren’t found within half an hour, he will blow up the fortress!”
Murakawa nearly collapsed in fright but was steadied by a quick-eyed wild swordsman nearby.
Grateful, Murakawa cast a meaningful glance at the wild swordsman, sensing this Dragon Continent man was somewhat decent, then stammered, “Lord Gu Sha... he must be joking, right?”
“He’s not,” the wild swordsman said. “I know this big shot’s character well. He always follows through on what he says. If you don’t hand over those people, he really will blow up your fortress.”
In that instant, Murakawa’s view of the wild swordsman soured completely. He then cast a desperate look toward the delegation and pleaded, “Sirs... can you not show mercy in the name of our shared humanity?”
The delegation members expressed their helplessness.
“Chief Murakawa, it’s not that we don’t want to help. The problem is Lord Gu Sha’s status in Dragon Continent is special. Though he is one of us, his position is transcendent. All of Dragon Continent follows his orders,” one delegate explained.
Despair etched deep on Murakawa’s face, he bellowed at those behind him, “What are you waiting for? Hurry and find them! Quickly!”
Immediately, the Ghost Island ministers scrambled to leave.
But just as they reached the door, everyone froze, muscles tensed, some even collapsing to the floor in shock—not only the Ghost Island people but also the Dragon Continent delegation were stunned.
For there, Gu Sha appeared, carrying a nuclear bomb.
A bomb roughly fifty centimeters in diameter and about two meters long!
Gu Sha swaggered outside the hotel and placed the bomb right at the entrance, leaving a large crater in the ground. Everyone’s hearts trembled with fear, dreading that even a slight mishap could trigger an explosion.
Especially those who understood the matter recognized the bomb for what it was: a small, super nuclear bomb developed in 2110 by Ghost Island Continent, compact and weighing only four to five tons, but with an explosive yield equivalent to 100,000 tons of TNT. If detonated, it would effortlessly consume the entire fortress in an instant.
Murakawa nearly fainted from terror.

He was deeply regretful now.
How had things come to this?
Only a few hours ago, the fortress city of D had been thriving and flourishing; now it was riddled with wounds, teetering on the edge of destruction.
The man before him—
Was a devil incarnate!
Gu Sha tossed the nuclear bomb at the door and strode inside with confidence. However, he wasn’t entirely careless; he had inscribed protective runes on the bomb, making it less prone to accidental detonation.
“Get the planes ready,” Gu Sha said as he entered. “Be prepared to take off at any moment. If Ghost Island doesn’t hand over the people, I’ll blow up this fortress. They’ve been saying they can’t find those two guys, so let’s just stop looking!”
“W-we will find them!” Murakawa shouted urgently. “Lord Gu Sha, please give us more time. We’re sure we can find them.”
Gu Sha glanced at Murakawa and retorted, “Why should I give you more time? You don’t expect me to wait three or five days just because you can’t find them, do you?”
Murakawa was desperate.
Jiujü and the Demon Blade were both seventh-rank extraordinary warriors, intimately familiar with the fortress. If they were hiding, it wouldn’t be easy to find them quickly.
Gu Sha rubbed his nose and added, “Well, actually, I’m not completely opposed to giving you more time, but I’m a restless person. When I get bored, I like to throw around nuclear bombs and such. Unless you can give me some entertainment.”
“T-There is, there is!” Murakawa hastened to say. “Ghost Island has many beauties—superstars, heiresses of financial empires, and so on. Lord Gu Sha, tell us what kind you prefer...”
Gu Sha was speechless.
Am I that kind of person?
“I’m not interested in women... uh, or men either,” Gu Sha said flatly. “Training—that’s my only passion. Understand? The extraordinary bones... the corpse cores—it depends on how long you can stall me. I absorb energy very fast, so how much time I give you depends on how long I can quietly cultivate.”
Murakawa hurriedly responded, “Understood, understood. I get it.”
Immediately,
Murakawa roared like a madman at the ministers, who then scattered in frantic haste to prepare corpse cores and extraordinary bones.

Witnessing this scene,
Gu Sha and the Dragon Continent delegation were all amazed.
However, the delegates, staring at their phones nearly overwhelmed by calls, said helplessly, “Killing God, you’re really on fire today. Continents around the world are protesting the Federation government, and the Federation is pressuring Dragon Continent.”
Gu Sha saw the global forum messages.
His actions on Ghost Island had indeed terrified governments worldwide. This unrestrained powerhouse’s emergence wasn’t a sign of humanity’s hope but an immense threat—like when, in the past, only one continent had nuclear weapons. The dread of nuclear shadow then was less than the fear Gu Sha inspired because he was alive, walking freely, with no limits.
All continents protested to the Federation, pressuring Dragon Continent.
Gu Sha asked, “What’s Dragon Continent’s official stance?”
The delegation leader smiled, “What else can they say? The elders said plainly: ‘We can’t control what you do. Dragon Continent also has many nukes. Mutual destruction is possible. We won’t be a burden to you. Do as you please.’”
Gu Sha chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and said, “Tell Dragon Continent to convey a message to the Federation from me: anyone who dares to make trouble, in a few days I’ll blow up the Federation building first, then clear them continent by continent!”
With that, Gu Sha headed upstairs.
Before long,
Ghost Island’s top officials hurriedly gathered and delivered a vast quantity of corpse cores and extraordinary bones.
Gu Sha said, “Kill and burn to earn the golden belt—how true the ancients were!”
In that moment,
As Gu Sha stared at a world map,
It was as if he had opened the door to a new world!
