CHAPTER 23 TRUE FACE

Haima city,

Outside mercenary building 

A loaded carriage was parked there and four guards in similar clothes could be seen around.

"Will the mission go as planned?"

Asked one of the guards with some concern.

"Don't worry, everything is well planned. There is no chance of failure."

"I know the leader of this mission. He is a 37-level soul master."

"With Mr. Ice bow, everything will go as planned."

The guards were discussing among themselves.

" is everything ready? We need to leave before sunset."

Long Pei who had come outside, asked in a loud voice.

" yes, Mr ice bow. We are all packed and can leave whenever you command."

" then get moving."

"Yao Tian, Black Fist both of you will be in the front of the carriage, and I will look after the back. What do you say about this arrangement?"

" I have no problem."

" nor do I."

" Then leave."

All the guards took their position so did Huang Yong and Yao Tian.

Soon they left the city and moved towards their destination. The sun was also setting and the surroundings were getting darker.

After five hours of continuous moving, their party had come to an area surrounded by mountains.

"Be careful of a small soul beasts."

Long Pei warned 

All of them increase their vigilance.

After another three hours, they entered the depths of a forest.

"Woooooo."

Suddenly, the howling of wolves came

" Careful"

All of them put their guard on and looked at their surrounding

Many pairs of eyes could be seen in the dark, and soon a big wolf came from the inside of the forest.

" it's a pack of ghost wolves. Be careful."

Long Pei warned and activated his martial soul, a bow appeared in his hand and three soul rings one white, one yellow, and one purple started rotating around him.

Brother Long, You should look after the garage. I will deal with the wolves."

Yao Tian said and jumped in the pack of wolves.

Most of the wolves were 10 years old and not very strong, but their number caused Yao Tian a lot of trouble.

"Careful" "Behind you"

Huang Yong and Long Tian shouted at the same time, Turns out that while Yao Tian was fighting a 500-year-old demonic wolf had come behind him.

[FIRST SOUL SKILL - BULLSEYE]

[SPRINT]

Both Long Pei and Huang Yong attacked the wolf with their respective moves.

An arrow and a person rust toward it, and the arrow pierced its left hindlimb before the wolf could stabilise itself Huang Yong arrived, he punched the wolf with 20% strength and the wolf fell lifeless.

"Thank you."

"Don't worry, I have got your back, finish them as soon as possible."

Huang Yong said, Yao Tian smiled a little and moved to finish the other wolves.

After four minutes, all the wolves were killed.

Huang Yong returned towards the carriage and Yao Tian stopped to get some 500-year-old soul beast meat.

As soon as Huang Yong came to the carriage he was greeted 

[SECOND SOUL SKILL - TIGER CLAW ]

[SECOND SOUL SKILL - ADRENALINE ]

[SECOND SOUL SKILL - PIERCING ]

[SECOND SOUL SKILL - FAN SLAM ]

Turns out all the people who were acting as guards are great soul masters.

Huang Yo dodged the attacks and countered them with fierce punches

Boom…boom..puch..paah...

Huang Yong's punches hit one of the guard's head and the head blasted off his body, one punch landed on the chest of a guard and a bloody hole appeared.

In just about two seconds, two of the guards lost their lives and two dodged.

[SECOND SOUL SKILL - TIMBER STRIKE]

All of a sudden an attack came from behind, Huang Yong's face didn't change much 

"System 50% strength."

Huang Yong took a clear round and punched at the axe coming at him

BOOM…

"You finally showed your true face, I was starting to feel quite bored."

Huang Yong said with an easy look as if he was expecting something like this to happen.

Yao Tian coughed blood and looked at Huang Yong with a surprised face

"Cough, how did you know?"

"The moment you talked about your father."

FLASHBACK 

"He was killed as he was not able to save a noble's life."

"SYSTEM WARNING"

"IT IS DETECTED THAT YAO TIAO IS LYING"

"System information."

Huang Yong activated his information function.

NAME - YAO TIAN (Young boss of Axe gang)

SPIRIT - BRONZE AXE 

SON OF YAO YANG - LEVEL 42 SOUL SECT (Boss of the Axe gang)

"Interesting."

FLASHBACK ENDS

[THIRD SOUL SKILL - DEAD FROST ARROW]

As Huang Yong was thinking about the system warning Long Pei's soul skill came.

Chiiiiiii…..

'Catch….'

Huang Yong caught the Frost arrow and felt a little cold in his hand.

"How is this possible, anything that touches my dead frost arrow freezes to death."

"You think too highly of yourself, the so-called dead frost arrow can at most be used to cool down Jin (an alcoholic drink)."

Huang Yong crushed the arrow in his fist

The arrows were very cold but if this little cold could pass through Chaos Fists then they don't deserve the title of Chaos.

[SPRINT]

Huang Yong used the skill again, it was a basic skill he created depicting his first soul skill.

This skill increased his speed by 20%

Huang Yong came in front of Long Pei and punched, the speed was very fast but Long Pei reacted in time and narrowly avoided it.

"You avoided, really a qualified long-range soul master. Has good eyes."

Huang Yong praised but his attack didn't stop.

The third punch landed on Long Pei and he vomited blood.

"Bah-vomit."

"What are you guys doing attack him, are you waiting for him to finish off Brother Long and then come at us."

Yao Tian shouted and rushed toward Huang Yong.

Three beautiful soul rings were floating around his body, two yellow and one purple.

He had hunted his third soul beast during the time he was away under the excuse of calling a friend.

[THIRD SOUL SKILL - RECKLESS SWING]

He attacked Huang Yong using his third soul ring, the axe in his hand made a random motion as it fell on Huang Yong.

Huang Yong caught the axe in his hand and tightened his grip so as not to let it get free, with his other hand he lifted half-conscious Long Pei and crushed his neck.

Blood spread everywhere and the lifeless body and head of Long Pei fell to the ground.

"How dare you?"

Yao Tian whose axe was just caught shouted but in response he only got a strong kick in his side and fell to the ground with a crunch sound, his side ribs had broken.

Huang Yong's face was still cold and calm, the other two soul masters were too scared to move and were petrified on the spot.

Coming to Yao Tian, Huang Yong stepped on his left knee. "Crunch"

"Aaaaaaah."

With a little force, his kneecaps broke and he cried in pain, Huang Yong's face didn't change much and with all the blood on his body and cold face, he looked like some kind of devil.

"Black fist, aah, let me go we have no enmity, we were friends."

"Yes, we were friends but you lost that honour the moment you decided to attack me, as far as I remember I have never offended anyone."

"Black fist do you think I'll tell you the reason, kill me, I know you will never let me go, Haha good luck finding the reason, haha."

Yao Tian laughed like crazy as he knew his end was near.

"Was it for something on me that is very precious in your eyes, something like my bracelet."

Huang Yong guessed and looked at Yao Tian.

As soon as Yao Tian heard him his laughter stopped and his face became pale.

"So I guessed it right, it is indeed for my bracelet."

"Black fist let me go, my father is a strong soul sect, you are not his opponent, If you kill me he will search for you and kill you at any cost."

Yao Tian persuaded.

"Don't worry he will not have to look for me as I will go to him myself."

Huang Yong stepped on his face and "puch" Yao Tian's head turned into crushed meat.

Vomit vomit

Seeing all of this the two soul masters vomited.

"Give you one chance, tell me everything you know about Axe gang and I may let you go."

Huang Yong spoke 

"My lord we were asked to attack you otherwise they would have killed us, we had no choice."

"I asked about Axe gang."

"Let me speak my lord."

The other soul master beside him spoke 

"Speak."

"My lord I was invited by them to join so I know a lot about them.

The Axe gang is a group of mainly five soul masters

They don't have a base as their group is so small so they keep moving."

"So after killing these four only one is left, and how are you so sure about this."

"My lord I am a rare support-type soul master and was invited by their boss himself and they showed me their full strength."
