“What’s wrong with Second Uncle? Why does his face suddenly look so awful?”
Don’t tell me even Second Uncle can’t handle it? Is this monster’s kneeling technique really that fierce?
No way, Second Uncle is a legend! Didn’t he say he’s buddies with Lord Yama? I’m telling you, Second Uncle’s acting skills are top notch—he’s definitely faking it. Just watch, he’ll burst out laughing any second now and scare the crap out of that kid!
Exactly! Second Uncle’s a real joker—nobody in the village can prank like him.
……
Right now, seeing Second Uncle like this, all the villagers are convinced he’s just putting on a show—and this time his acting is extra convincing.
But just as they finish saying that, Second Uncle suddenly can’t hold it in anymore and spits out a mouthful of old blood.
With a loud “Wah!” Second Uncle’s whole face goes deathly pale. He points at Ryan Ling in terror, stammering, “No—no…”
“Grandpa, are you really not okay? If you can’t take it, I’ll get up—I really don’t want to see you die!” Ryan Ling, seeing how miserable he looks, tries to stand up.
But the moment he moves his leg, the villagers shout, “What are you doing? Don’t move! Second Uncle’s a master actor—there’s no way anything’s wrong. He just means you shouldn’t get up, keep kneeling and don’t move!”
“That’s right! When has Second Uncle ever been scared or backed down? You just keep kneeling—Second Uncle’s about to jump up and slap you silly!” another villager shouted.
But as soon as they finish, Second Uncle’s face turns ashen—he’s totally done for. His eyes, blank as dead fish, stare pitifully at all the villagers, then urgently lock onto the fattest old lady in the crowd. It looks like he’s trying to say something, maybe a final confession, but before he can even get out the word “I—”, he collapses with a heavy thud, twitches twice, and stops breathing for good.
“Holy crap! Even Second Uncle got kneel-killed—this guy’s a total freak!” As Second Uncle suddenly drops dead, all the villagers of Little Hades panic. No one dares block Ryan Ling’s group now; they all back away in terror like they’ve seen a monster.
“I told you, I didn’t want to kneel—old man, you made me do it! Now you see how bad it is, right? Sigh…” Ryan Ling shakes his head, then looks around at the other villagers. “Anyone else want me to kneel? Sign up yourself!”
"Ghost!"
"Run for your lives!"
"I don’t want to get kneel-killed!"
……
In an instant, all the villagers of Little Hades swarm back into the village. The entrance that was packed a second ago is now totally deserted—not even a ghost in sight.
“Boss, what kind of person is this guy? Is there really such an unbeatable, freaky kneeling technique in the world? He can literally kneel people to death!”
“I heard this Harbor City kid’s been making waves lately. He just took down the snake demon in Taoyuan County, made it snow on Herb Mountain in August, wiped out Harbor City’s top clan overnight—it’s all connected to him! The internet’s blowing up, saying he’s a god come to earth. There’s even a web novel about him on Black Rock Net!”
Damn, that’s wild! But let’s be real—nobody’s ever broken into Little Hades. Even last time, over a hundred Wuzhou fighters had to run for it. Now this guy busts in solo and literally kneels his way through the gate? That’s gotta be a first in the whole Jiangdong martial world. Who’d believe it if you told them?
……
The nearby martial artists are all totally stunned, each one nervously eyeing Ryan Ling’s knees.
“Boss, you’re amazing—your kneeling skill is next level!” Warren Yuan chimes in, laying it on thick.
“Enough, we’re short on time—let’s head in. It’s getting late, and we’re finishing this tonight, no matter what!” Ryan Ling isn’t in the mood for flattery. He waves his hand, and everyone immediately perks up and strides in.
“Damn it, call me fat and I’ll kneel-kill every one of those bastards!” Harvey “Million” Jin clenched his fists.
“Yamete, yamete…” Frank Qin, the zombie, gritted his teeth and shouted.
The whole group swaggered right in.
The martial artists behind them, plus the county and township security squad, all followed. Clearly, the fall of Little Hades was too big a deal—missing out on this show would be a lifelong regret.
