Chapter 26- Swift Kills

Zhang Yi and the others have been hitting Yang Chen with all of their power, yet the guy refused to stay put. They felt like they have lost all face today because of a mere slave.

"Hmph, you think you are tough huh? Let's see if you can still stay standing after taking a punch from me" The Seven Star Battle Apprentice lackey looked a Yang Chen and cracked his knuckles.

He stepped forward, tensed his muscles until they ripped out of his clothes and delivered a simple punch with all of his might straight at the temple of the slave.

As the punch inched closer towards Yang Chen, a vicious smile surfaced on his face. He finally stopped playing the fool and called out the steel sword from his inventory.

"Eight Fold Split!!" roaring out the name of his battle skill in his heart, YangChen immediately activated Eight Fold Split as three sword shadows appeared in the air and swiftly shot towards three targets.

The three people who were the targets of the sword slashes were startled and unable to react in time. Naturally, they couldn't muster even the tiniest of defence because of how relaxed and carefree they were.

The sword shadow passed through their body without any resistance and cleanly bisected them in two.

As for the Seven Star Battle Apprentice lackey who had his fist only a couple of inches away from Yang Chen's face, was one of the three to fall down in two.

[Burst Steps]…

Before the other lackeys surrounding could register the scene in front of their eyes, a shadow passed through them and the next thing they saw was their own body which was missing a head.

Whoosh… whoosh... whoosh…

Yang Chen was like a reaper, wherever he appeared a head would fly.

After his Burst Steps skill reached the peak completion stage, his speed was so fast that these Six Star Battle Apprentice lackeys were only able to see a shadow flash past their eyes before they died.

Plop… Plop..

There was no needless movement in his action, all of the eight people that were brought by Zhang Wei, were killed painlessly and without any sound. As if it was the work of a professional killer.

After the last head fell, Yang Chen stopped and yanked his sword to remove the blood from the edges of his blade. His act of playing the fool, paid out perfectly.

[Ding... You have committed a mischief, 150 points awarded]. Ding… These lackeys from the Zhang clan each awarded him 150 points when he killed them except for that Seven star guy who gave him 200 points after he died.

1250 points!! Counting the earlier 225 points he had collected by fooling them he had made a sum total of 1475 mischief points from these people. Yang Chen couldn't be any more delighted.

"Now then it's only the two most troublesome opponents remaining" Yang Chen muttered under his breath as he gazed towards the stunned looking Zhang Wei and the ashen face Li Hao.

The former was so shocked that the piece of grass that he was chewing on, fell down from his mouth. His eyes continuously trembled in disbelief as he saw the blood covered ground and the headless body of his subordinates.

"You!!... You were actually hiding your strength?" Zhang Wei questioned furiously, it was only now that he understood that the servant in front of them was only playing the role of a sheep to eat the tiger.

"Bastard" Zhang Wei cursed out when he saw the smile on Yang Chen's face. he had been completely fooled.

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Li Hao came over and asked nervously. Those swift kills from Yang Chen scared him completely. Fortunately, he was wary of the situation from the start thus he did not step forward to deal with Yang Chen along with those people.

"What do you think? He has killed several of our clan members, this blood debt must be repaid" Zhagn Wei barked angrily "However, what I don't understand is that those elders from the clan told me that the servant we are looking for was unable to cultivate. Yet not only this guy can cultivate, he has also learned a few battle skills. How is that possible?"

A Battle Skill was very rare in this region, even the Zhang clan who was one of the top three clans of the Cloud city, only had a few in their treasury. Aside from that, one also had to have aptitude and compatibility with that skill to practice it.

Given these aforementioned facts, it was only natural for Zhang Wei to be astonished to see a mere slave use not one but two battle skills. Even he, one of the outstanding younger generations of the Zhang clan, had only managed to learn two battle skills.

Zhang Wei was unable to accept that a guy who was younger than him and a servant no less, was as talented as him.

"Young Master, I think he might have stolen those skills from the Zhang Clan" Li Hao spoke from the side. Putting oil in the fire.

"Right, you must be right. He must have stolen those battle skills from the clan treasury and when he was found out, he killed those five people and ran away. Bastard, if I knew that I would have killed him myself from the start"

Zhang Wei cried out furiously, and a killing intent surged from his body. This uneasy feeling of jealousy, didn't bode well with Zhang Wei, he wanted to kill Yang Chen as soon as possible and remove this uneasy feeling from his heart.

Li Hao smiled faintly when he heard that, he was aware of how powerful and cunning this brat was. Even though he had faith in his own strength, he did not dare to challenge the latter. Thus when he saw the killing intent in Zhang Wei's eyes, he was inwardly happy.

This young master of the Zhang clan was the strongest person here, if he personally took action, he should be able to deal with the brat.

"You bastard you will pay for killing so many members of my clan" Zhang Wei roared fiercely. He unsheathed the sword on his back and charged towards Yang Chen.
