"Kill!" Pei Zi Yun dodged past him as the head of the assassin who had taken the whistle flew off his neck. The whistle fell to the ground and rang loudly.
The assassin who had been imprisoned by his Dao arts was finally able to move. His eyes were filled with hatred as he charged forward, "Kill!"
The sword gleamed as blood flowed out from the assassin's throat. The assassin clutched at his throat as he gasped for breath.
Pei Zi Yun had killed five people in a row. He then tore a piece of cloth from the assassin's body and wiped the blood off his face. He then laughed coldly, "They're just people who came here to die."
He then turned around and left.
A cry of agony could be heard coming from the forest ahead. Soon after, a firework was shot into the sky. The two swordsmen were shocked as they rushed forward.
The stench of blood permeated the air as an eagle perched on top of a tree and looked down at the forest below.
"Hua!" The two swordsmen walked in and saw that the ground was covered in blood. Five assassins were lying on the ground.
"How terrifying. He killed a whole group of people in an instant!"
"Eh? There's still one alive? "The swordsmen looked up and noticed that the leader was still gasping for breath.
They looked at each other before one of the swordsmen stepped forward. He examined the leader carefully before placing his hand on the leader's body and asked, "What happened? Where did that person run off to? "
"Ssss ssss!" The leader's hand was covered in blood. He wanted to say something but couldn't speak.
Seeing the state the leader was in, the swordsmen couldn't get anything out of him. The swordsmen then tapped the leader's forehead. The leader groaned as blood flowed out from all his orifices.
The swordsmen then gently closed the leader's eyes before sighing, "You've all died for Dark Altar Sect. Rest in peace."
As the swordsmen spoke, they heard some noises and looked towards the forest.
They couldn't see anything clearly in the dense forest. In the sky, a wild bird was startled and flew up into the sky, breaking the silence of the night.
"Something's not right." The swordsmen were shocked as he pulled out a firework and shot it into the sky. "Whoosh!" The firework shot up into the sky and exploded. This was a signal to gather people, as several groups of assassins started to gather around.
Mountain Deity Temple
After some time, the place changed again. The ground was swept clean, but the pines and cypresses were dark and gloomy. Someone rushed in, "Report, three groups of people have been killed. Only one escaped."
Elder Xu's hands did not stop moving, nor did he speak. The emerald green flames had already seeped into the Daoist's body, but before it could seep through, a Daoist's expression changed, "This person's martial arts skills and craftiness are beyond our expectations."
Another Daoist with some status asked, "Is the Dao technique not ready yet? If this goes on, I'm afraid the people we sent out will all be killed. We've already lost a lot of people. "
"Elder Xu, you're still working on it. This child seems to have some sort of barrier, so the effect isn't enough. You need to go a step further before you can use it on his soul."
Just as they were talking, they suddenly heard a 'pa' sound from the fate lantern, as if someone had made a sound similar to a bamboo joint. Although it was not loud, it was enough to make their hearts tremble.
Then, a gust of chilly wind blew over, bringing with it a fishy smell.
Everyone looked over and saw that the Life Lantern was covered in black gas. There was even a hint of blood in it. Layer by layer, it seeped into the flame on the Life Lantern. In an instant, it turned green, but the center was still the same.
"This person's determination is too strong. He's only succeeded after so long." Elder Xu stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He then spoke to the two Daoists, "You guys maintain it for now. When I've caught my breath, I'll take over."
"Once there's no more external help, we won't be able to maintain it. This person will then expel the spell."
As he spoke, a bright light flashed, illuminating the entire area. A thunderous sound rang out, causing the entire room to tremble. Elder Xu then ordered, "In the past, I didn't expect him to be this strong. But now, he's been trapped in an illusion. He can't tell the difference between reality and illusion."
"He's even able to kill a child."
"Now, I order all teams to search for him. If you see him, kill him immediately. Do not think of capturing him alive. This person's martial arts are too terrifying."
"Use the talismans to inform all teams. We're doing something important now. Losing a little of their lifespan is nothing!"
"Yes!" The surrounding Daoists immediately used the talismans to relay the order.
Sometime later, some rain fell into the forest, splashing onto the leaves of the trees. The sound of rain splashing could be heard. The swordsmen were holding torches, which had been specially prepared. The torches would not be extinguished for the time being.
The ten or so swordsmen looked at the corpse on the ground and shouted, "Avenge our brother."
"Kill this person and avenge our brother."
The two swordsmen saw that everyone's morale was high and nodded their heads. All of a sudden, a talisman transmitted a message to them. When they finished reading it, they laughed coldly, "The Elder has successfully cast the curse. This person won't be able to escape."
"Hm, I've always wanted to fight with this person. The fact that he killed Jian An makes my blood boil." Another swordsman spoke out, his face was filled with excitement.
The older swordsman laughed, "This time, the sect has ordered us to kill this person. Don't think of fighting him alone. We have to work together to kill him. If not, we'll spoil the plan and be in big trouble."
At the same time, several Daoists wielded their swords and charged towards them.
Some distance away, five people were moving cautiously. They looked to be older, around thirty years of age.
Two of them were in front, while the other two were behind. The one in the middle was in command. They were divided into three groups, and each group was five steps apart from each other. The person in front signaled for the others to be on guard. The person behind raised his sword and stared at the bushes in front of them.
For a long time, there was no sound.
The person in the middle gave a 'hmph' and waved his left hand, "Shoot the concealed weapons!"
"Pu pu pu!" The concealed weapons were shot out, hitting the leaves and causing them to fall to the ground. There was no sound at all. The five of them relaxed a little as they got closer to scout.
A ray of sword light flashed. The swordsman in front did not let his guard down. With a loud shout, he raised his sword and blocked the sword.
However, a strong force penetrated through the sword, causing it to tilt to the side. A shadow appeared, and the sword tip pierced through Pei Zi Yun's back. Pei Zi Yun pulled his sword out, a cold smile on his face.
The three people behind him attacked at the same time. However, they were too late. The sword light dimmed, and the left arm of the swordsman on the left was sliced off.
Without any resistance, the sword light pierced through his abdomen. With a twist, all his internal organs were crushed.
"Kill!" The two of them took advantage of the fact that their swords were stuck in their bodies. Just as they were about to attack, their bodies trembled and they lost control of their bodies.
The sword light flashed again, and the two of them screamed as they fell to the ground.
'After entering the Yin Master Stage, my Dao Arts have become faster and faster. I can even use my martial arts in a split second.'
'These five people are obviously stronger than the newbies from before. If they were to fight one on one, they would be able to hold out for some time. However, with the help of my Dao Arts, they are like paper tigers.'
'I'm very satisfied with the paralysis technique. My fighting prowess has improved once again.'
The last person threw a firework into the sky. The firework flew into the sky and exploded.
Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly. He had already figured out Dark Altar Sect's sword techniques. Just as he was about to attack, all of a sudden, his vision darkened and everything disappeared. He felt as though the heavens and earth had changed, and his eyes lit up again.
After throwing the firework, he shouted out and charged forward. He had the intention to perish together with Pei Zi Yun. Seeing that Pei Zi Yun wasn't moving at all, he was overjoyed and struck out with his sword.
Pei Zi Yun's entire body trembled. He instinctively dodged and a lock of hair fell off his head. The scene before his eyes changed once again. He saw a tall building with cars passing by. He was sitting in a car, looking as though he had just taken a nap. He was in a daze.
'Eh? Was I dreaming? 'Pei Zi Yun shook his head and reached out to pick up the newspaper. However, he felt that something wasn't right.
"Boom!" The scene before him shattered into pieces. The scene before his eyes turned back into a forest. The swordsman's sword was about to pierce through.
"Pu!" Pei Zi Yun leapt forward, but only managed to slash his back. Blood started to flow, and he felt a burning sensation. He gritted his teeth and swung his sword.
"Pu!" The swordsman's abdomen was pierced through, and blood started to flow out.
"Go to hell!" Pei Zi Yun knew that something was wrong. He didn't hold back any longer and charged forward. The swordsman's face was contorted in anger. The swordsman's sword flashed, and the two of them separated. The swordsman's neck was bleeding profusely.
"Ah!" Pei Zi Yun felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and he couldn't see anything. He then placed his hand on the wound on his back and stumbled towards the forest.
"Ding!" A bell rang, and Pei Zi Yun opened his eyes.
He was in a bedroom. On the right was a bookshelf, filled with books. On the left was a study table, with a workbook open. Pei Zi Yun was at a loss.
"Am I a student?"
"No, something feels wrong." Pei Zi Yun opened the door. The corridor was empty, and there wasn't a single soul in sight.
"Is anyone there?" Pei Zi Yun shouted, but no one answered. It was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat. All of a sudden, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
Pei Zi Yun was overjoyed, and hurried over to take a look. There wasn't a single soul in the corridor, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
"What's going on?"
Pei Zi Yun stretched out his hand and was about to continue when he stopped, "Something's not right. Something's not right."
"Let me think!"
"Stars Transposition!"
"Boom!" Everything in front of him shattered, and Pei Zi Yun realized that he was lying on top of a small stream. There was a thunderous rumble, but the rain did not stop. Raindrops fell from the leaves of the stream, and he could still hear the voices of people.
A row of people were dressed in raincoats, and the torches had already been extinguished. He could hear the cries of "Safe and sound!", and after a while, someone else shouted, "Safe and sound!"
The net was getting tighter and tighter. If it was any other day, as Pei Zi Yun had said, this net would be as thin as paper, and would break easily. Furthermore, he had already killed half of them. But now, even though he had used the Stars Transposition to break through the net, he could feel the darkness surrounding him, as if it was trying to pull him in.
"It's dangerous here, I have to get out of here."
"Should I thank the rain for washing away my voice and my tracks?" Pei Zi Yun knew that if he were to fall here, he would die. Ignoring the rain and mud, he continued to run.
While he was conscious, he thought, "Have I been afflicted by a nightmare?"
"No matter what it is, it's obvious that the Stars Transposition has protected my consciousness."
"I remember that I was so close to leveling up. Once I reached the third level, I would be able to protect myself better." Thinking this way, he felt heavy, dizzy, nauseous, and unable to vomit anything out. He saw a patch of reeds in front of him, and without thinking, he pounced on it and rolled on the ground. His entire body was covered in mud, and he laid there unmoving.
"Boom!" His vision turned black again, and the world sank.
