Lunatic Slaughtershadow
No one had expected this tunnel to be so long. Judging from the distance he had traveled, Xia Fei was already deep inside the mountain.
This tunnel had been built a long time ago, and there were signs of collapse in many places. There were cracks everywhere, and rocks that were about to fall could be seen everywhere.
Xia Fei had no choice but to slow down and carefully advance in the darkness. He could not help but worry about the condition of the tunnel, but he had no intention of turning back. He had always believed in taking risks in order to obtain something, and Xia Fei had always been a believer of risk. Aside from that, there was also a strong desire to explore and a rather thick nervous system that supported him to take risks.
Phantom furrowed his eyebrows. It was not that he was timid; he was just a soul, and he could not die even if he wanted to. It was just that he did not like taking risks, especially when it was a journey that could endanger his life at any time.
After turning a few corners, the space in front of him widened. It looked like a large hall, and Xia Fei could not tell just how big the hall was in the darkness.
His sharp eyes noticed that there seemed to be a mechanism on the wall. Xia Fei reached over and used his finger to probe it.
* Snap! *
Xia Fei pressed a button, and the large spotlights on all four sides suddenly lit up.
These lights were powered by high-efficiency energy storage containers, so they were still powered up after so many years. However, the lights were not bright enough, and there was a faint layer of yellow.
Xia Fei looked around and saw that he was in a circular hall. The stone walls were much sturdier than the tunnel he had just passed through, and there were even some alloy frames supporting it, so he did not have to worry about the stone walls collapsing at any time.
There was a statue in the middle of the hall, and the old man on the statue was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the basement. He had the same facial features, and even his aura was filled with a violent aura. There was nothing else.
Xia Fei tilted his head and looked at the statue. This old man was not pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it. His eyes were as if everyone owed him money. Aside from the violent and murderous aura, there was also a very obvious arrogance.
Xia Fei felt that it was strange. The entrance to the tunnel was so hidden, and there was even a long tunnel dug out. Could it be just to see this strange old man's statue?
Taking a closer look, there were a few lines of words engraved on the base of the statue, but he could not read them clearly due to the dust.
Xia Fei wiped off the dust and read the words with great interest.
According to the text, the owner of this sculpture was the twenty-second sect master of the Assassin Sect, Slaughtershadow. He was the one who built this passage and his sculpture. Judging from the words, this man was arrogant and had a murderous heart. It was likely that the Assassin Sect would be cruel and bloodthirsty when he was the sect master.
The most infuriating thing was that he added a sentence at the end of the text, claiming that anyone who came here and saw his sculpture must prostrate themselves in worship. Otherwise, they would jump out and attack people even if they died.
Xia Fei was infuriated after reading this. He was already very displeased to find a broken statue in this secret passage, and now he was being asked to worship by this arrogant fellow. Putting aside the fact that he was once the sect master of the Assassin Sect, even if he were the master of the universe, he would not be able to take advantage of Xia Fei.
He kicked Slaughtershadow's thigh. "Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?" Xia Fei cursed.
Phantom hurriedly yelled, "No! No matter what, this man was once the sect master of the Assassin Sect. Don't be presumptuous!"
Unfortunately, Phantom was a little too slow with his words. Actually, even Xia Fei would have kicked him if he had heard it. This man was truly arrogant to the point that even the words he left behind after his death were disgusting.
* Bang! *
Xia Fei used all his strength in his kick and directly broke the ten-meter-tall sculpture into two from the thigh.
The sculpture's body tilted and fell toward Xia Fei. Xia Fei dodged to the side and watched as the huge sculpture fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
There was already a layer of dust on the ground, and with the broken pieces of the sculpture, the hall was filled with dust, making it difficult to see anything.
"Sorry, you were a little too slow," Xia Fei said to Phantom with a smile. Xia Fei grinned at Phantom. He knew that Phantom worshipped his sect to the point that he would not let go of anything that would tarnish the reputation of his sect, so he hurriedly explained the situation to him.
Phantom's face alternated between green and white. Now that he had made a huge mistake, the fact that his ancestor's sculpture had been destroyed by Xia Fei's hands, there was nothing he could do about it.
Actually, Phantom also had some complaints about this old senior Slaughtershadow. After all, his tone was too arrogant, which was incompatible with the low-profile style of the Assassin Sect. However, for the sake of his ancestor's reputation, he had to defend it no matter what.
A moment later, when the dust settled, Xia Fei suddenly frowned.
Something was not right. Logically speaking, such a huge stone sculpture should be very sturdy, but Xia Fei's kick had directly shattered it into fine pieces, like a car's windshield being shattered.
This did not make sense. Very, very much so.
Unless the person who made the sculpture had added some kind of chemical substance to the material, there was no way a single kick could have such an effect.
What was even more puzzling was that after the statue fell, the pedestal was revealed, and another cave appeared in front of Xia Fei. It looked like a deep well, and it was pitch-black down there. There was even a metal ladder for people to climb down.
Xia Fei frowned as he went to the side of the deep well and looked down. All he saw was that it was pitch-black, and there was a rotten smell in the air, but it did not affect his breathing.
What's going on? Phantom asked with wide eyes.
Xia Fei shook his head. The reason this sculpture exists is to be destroyed, or else it wouldn't have revealed a second entrance.
What do you mean? Phantom asked curiously.
Xia Fei pointed at the rubble on the ground. Have you ever seen stones shatter so evenly?
Phantom shook his head.
Xia Fei pointed at the deep well again. Have you ever seen an entrance hidden under the base of the sculpture?
Phantom shook his head again. There was no need to say anything else. The truth had already proven that everything had been arranged in advance. Xia Fei was just a butterfly who did not know what was going on, and a slight flap of his wings had caused the so-called butterfly effect.
Xia Fei waited for a few minutes to let some of the rotten air out of the well before he climbed down the ladder.
Only by seeing it with his own eyes could he understand the truth. The curious Xia Fei would not miss this opportunity to explore.
After crawling for about a hundred meters, Xia Fei came to the surface. The moment his feet touched the ground, his surroundings suddenly lit up.
What appeared in front of Xia Fei was an even bigger secret room, and there were even more sculptures.
There were all kinds of sculptures.
They were all made by that guy called Slaughtershadow.
There were all kinds of postures and appearances. Some looked like they were fighting, while others looked like they were giving orders. They were all different, but they all gave off the same aura, which was extreme arrogance.
Xia Fei laughed heartily. This old man sure is arrogant. One sculpture isn't enough, yet he's putting up so many more. His arrogance knows no bounds.
Phantom sighed and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, he's still the sect master of the Assassin Sect. Can't you show some respect?"
Xia Fei pursed his lips. "I'm not from the Assassin Sect. Besides, this man is indeed arrogant. "
"Why aren't you from the Assassin Sect? Didn't the great sect master just appoint you as an honorable representative?" Phantom retorted.
"Honorable?" Xia Fei smiled and muttered to himself.
Just as the two of them were arguing, a screen suddenly unfolded, and a person appeared on it. It was the cruel and arrogant Slaughtershadow.
Xia Fei was slightly stunned. He looked around cautiously and found nothing out of the ordinary. Only then did he cross his arms and smile at the person on the screen.
This brother Ren was truly fierce. His face was ferocious, and his eyes were as cold as ice. The funniest part was his posture. He stood on a rock and looked around coldly, as if he was the ruler of the world.
Suddenly, the person on the screen spoke.
"I'm a f * cking boorish man. I don't know any big principles, but I do know one thing: show your strength! I have to be arrogant! I have to be f * cking crazy! "
Xia Fei and Phantom were dumbfounded. No matter what, this man was once the sect master of the Assassin Sect, yet the way he spoke made him sound like a hooligan, his mouth full of profanity and arrogance to the extreme.
Xia Fei burst out laughing, while Phantom was embarrassed. He never thought that the Assassin Sect, which had always been low-key, would have such a person.
The ferocious Slaughtershadow continued, "When I was young, my teacher didn't like me, so I killed that old thing and became the sect master. To hell with the rules. I just like killing people. Who can do anything to me!? "
"But I didn't f * cking become immortal. One day, I'll go to hell and meet those old b * stards. What should I do with the manuals and weapons I've collected?
"Don't tell me I'll pass them to those b * stards in the sect. They're all as weak as women. They don't deserve it.
"Unless it's someone as arrogant as me, no one deserves to own my things.
"That's why I thought, I have to find a way to leave these things to someone who can really use them, someone who's ruthless, arrogant, and a b * stard. Plus, that kid has to be lucky. He can't be as unlucky as me.
"Damn it. Everyone in the sect knows that I hate using my brain the most. I f * cking thought about it for five years and finally came up with a brilliant plan. "
Xia Fei could not help but laugh. He looked like a brute who did not have enough brains. What brilliant plan? He did not even know how to blush.
"Stop looking. I'm talking about you. " Slaughtershadow suddenly pointed at the center of the room where Xia Fei was standing. Those who did not understand would think that the bastard had come back to life and was pointing at Xia Fei.
"You're really ruthless. How dare you smash my sculpture? Hmph! Good job! I'm going to pass my things to a fearless person. Whoever dares to smash my sculpture, I'll pass it on to them. "
"Pass it on! My stuff! " Xia Fei was shocked. It turned out that this guy was actually very meticulous, coming up with such a nondescript method to find his successor.
