Chương 7: If you let the murderer go, then you are a sinner.

"Kid, I advise you not to mess with my boss. You can't afford to!"

Kamen Rider Kalis, lying on the ground, clutched his chest, staring at Jiang Che's retreating figure, enduring the excruciating pain from the spinning kick, and shouted loudly.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Jiang Che slowly turned around, his scarlet compound eyes on his helmet locking onto Kalis on the ground.

Jiang Che took a step forward, his voice cold and devoid of any warmth, and murmured, "I almost forgot about you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Che's figure flashed in place.

With the heavy creaking of the armor, Jiang Che sprinted forward, his black body leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.

He instantly covered a distance of more than ten meters and arrived in front of Kamen Rider Kamen Rider. Then, he raised his right foot and stomped heavily on Kamen Rider Kamen Rider's chest without any mercy.

"Bang!"

The immense force pinned Kalis firmly to the ground, instantly shattering the stones beneath.

However, Kalis, who was being trampled underfoot, did not show much fear. Instead, he let out a few arrogant sneers.

"Heh, if you dare touch me, my boss will definitely get revenge!" Kamen Rider Kalis looked up at Jiang Che with extreme arrogance.

"You have no idea how terrifying my boss's background is! His father is the Awakened One of Flame Dragon Warrior, and he also has the Awakened One of Kamen Rider Agito backing him up! Agito's power is something that a nobody like you can't possibly contend with!"

At this moment, Kalis was even secretly delighted.

He felt that his move was incredibly successful. At the critical moment when Yang Yiming was in the most danger and about to have his head crushed, he decisively intervened, successfully interrupting the opponent's attack and doing Yang Yiming such a huge favor.

At that time, Yang Yiming will definitely value him highly and regard him as his true savior.

Yang Yiming has such a powerful backing. To repay this life-saving grace, they will definitely allocate a large amount of cultivation resources and tools to him.

They might even give you a powerful belt.

With those resources, wouldn't I be one step closer to becoming a more powerful and higher-ranking knight?

Just as Kamen Rider Kalis was overjoyed and wildly imagining his wonderful future life, his expression suddenly changed.

Beneath the mask, his smug smile froze instantly, replaced by an expression of extreme pain.

Because he could clearly feel the foot pressing on his chest was rapidly increasing its strength.

"Click... click..."

The red heart armor on Kalis's chest began to crack under the strain, and the excruciating pain of breaking bones instantly spread throughout his body.

Jiang Che completely ignored his threat, and with a forceful stomp of his foot, a violent burst of dark red energy erupted, directly piercing through Kalis's armor defenses.

"boom!"

Kalis's chest cavity collapsed, and blood gushed out from the gaps in his visor. He was trampled to death on the spot.

Looking at the lifeless corpse beneath his feet, its armor dissipating into specks of light and reverting to its original form, Jiang Che coldly said, "Looking for me? I'd love for him to come looking for me."

Just then, the system's cold, mechanical voice rang in Jiang Che's mind.

[Ding! Hunted down Kamen Rider Kalis, gained 100 points!] [Achieve first kill of the Knight achievement, earning 100 points!] Hearing the two consecutive system notifications, Jiang Che was slightly taken aback, a thought flashing through his mind: "Points? What are those for?"

However, Jiang Che quickly regained his composure and didn't have time to delve into the system's functions.

Because he had more important things to do at that moment.

Jiang Che raised his head and looked around. The crowd that had been gathered around, pointing and gesturing, had long since vanished, leaving the streets empty and deathly silent.

Just moments ago, when he ruthlessly crushed Kamen Rider Kalis, the crowd was utterly terrified and scattered in all directions to escape.

Although the crowd had already guessed the truth from the conversation—that the Wind Eagle Hero killed ordinary people to save trouble, and Jiang Che acted to avenge his dead sister.

However, when they actually witnessed Jiang Che kill a Kamen Rider in public, all that remained in their minds was fear.

They dare not gamble.

What if Jiang Che's mental state is severely affected by his sister's tragic death and he goes completely insane? What if he becomes bloodthirsty and loses control of his power, starting to indiscriminately kill innocent people in the streets? Escaping this extremely dangerous, corrupted knight is their only option.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Che withdrew his gaze and slowly turned his head back.

He dragged his heavy steps toward the ruins of the cake shop ahead, where black smoke was still billowing.

Upon reaching the ruins, Jiang Che stopped, bent down, and gently lifted Jiang Xian's body in his arms, which were covered by black armor.

Looking at his lifeless, blood-soaked sister in his arms, Jiang Che burst into tears again.

Tears streamed down his cheeks and dripped inside his armor.

He still couldn't quite believe it. She had been smiling and saying she was going to buy a cake when she left home that morning. His sister, with whom he had depended on each other for so many years, who had given everything for him, was now just a cold corpse, gone from this world forever.

Jiang Che held Jiang Xian's body tightly, his voice hoarse, filled with a deep-seated hatred:

"Sister, I will definitely avenge you. That man, I'll make him wish he were dead tonight!"

Suddenly, Jiang Che's body stiffened.

He suddenly raised his head, his scarlet compound eyes piercing through the end of the street, staring into the distance.

"Such powerful strength! Who is it?" Jiang Che frowned.

He could clearly sense that an extremely large and dangerous energy fluctuation was approaching the ruins at an extremely fast speed.

This power is on a level far exceeding that of Yang Yiming and Kalis from before.

Jiang Che glanced at his sister in his arms.

He did not feel it necessary to confront that enemy of unknown strength head-on at this moment.

Having only just awakened to the truth, the most urgent task is to properly settle my sister's remains.

Immediately, Jiang Che held Jiang Xian firmly in his arms, turned around, and left in the opposite direction at an extremely fast speed, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

Jiang Che held Jiang Xian's body in his arms.

He didn't go anywhere else, but returned to their new home, which they had just bought in full and where many of the furniture hadn't even been unpacked yet.

This house embodies all the siblings' hopes for the future.

The spacious living room and bright floor-to-ceiling windows were once so beautiful, but now, the entire house is filled with only a suffocating silence and a strong smell of blood.

Jiang Che didn't turn on the light and walked into Jiang Xian's bedroom in the dark.

He moved with extreme gentleness, as if afraid of waking the person in his arms, and gently laid Jiang Xian flat on her brand new, soft bed.

The pale moonlight from outside the window poured in through the gap in the curtains that weren't fully drawn, illuminating Jiang Xian's pale, bloodless profile.

Looking at his sister's peaceful sleeping face, Jiang Che stood by the bed without saying a word.

His body was as stiff as a lifeless sculpture, with only his slightly trembling breaths proving that he was still alive.

After a long while, Jiang Che took a deep breath, withdrew his sorrowful gaze, and summoned the [Armor Knight Hunting System] in his mind.

On the way back with his sister in his arms, although his mind was in a state of extreme grief, he gradually calmed down and took the opportunity to thoroughly understand the role of the system's integral.

The system's functions are very straightforward.

In this hunting system, points are the only core currency, and they have two main uses: first, they are used for lotteries, and second, they are used to directly purchase items in the exchange shop.
