Chapter 21: Assassins

Back in Xu Yun's court yard, there was silence as Xu yi stared at him with worry in his eyes. He looked at his Creator sprawled on the bed and the ever expanding light. Although it kept expanding, it didn't actually release its light outwardly as it seemed to glow within its self.

Finding himself a sit next to the bed, he began to wonder Why he was the only one asked to stay behind as he began to envy his siblings who were out battling monsters. But it was at that moment he sensed some movement within his domain.

It should be known that, Due to his Cursed eyes taking too much Chi, he always had his eyes closed. But as compensation he got a 50m*50m domain that became his eyes, The closer you are the Clearer you became in His mind's eye making it unreliable. If he was attacked from beyond 50m, there's every tendency that there would be a lag in his defense.

Meanwhile, the reason for his unrest was the two people dressed in Black who were stealthily making their way closer through the outer court yard. one of them spoke in hushed voices to the other,

[No matter what, you should at least tell me the mission objective next time, all this long procedures just to assassinate a child, Sure we listen to them now but how sure are you that they'd do as they promised and not back stab us from behind.] noticing that he got no response, he sighed as he continued

[Xu fei, since you feel you know Them well enough already, I will be at your service. But you must remember, it is important to not let the others know of this. Tch!... the more people that know of My involvement, the more things will get annoying. Why are you being so Quiet? are you nervous, its just a kid without cultivation that no one cares about so its gonna be easy.]

Xu fei's face was contorted as vein bulged on her forehead, She regretted bringing this fool!! how is he an assassin?!. [The order is to complete this Quickly, So Shut... .] Before she could finish her words another voice cut in.

[Oh?, That's an interesting topic you guys have there...hope you don't mind me joining in?.]

The two immediately raised their guard up as they looked at the youth that just popped out of no where. He had no extraordinary features except his long white hair, donned in his black tang suit and a hand fan quietly being used to fan himself despite it being freezing cold out herep as he stared back at them with a gentle smile playing on his lips, he had his eyes closed that it gave the feeling like he couldn't even dim them worthy to look at.

They couldn't feel any cultivation from him but that only increased their Guard against him.

they looked at each other's eyes and nodded their head as they worked together and tried to circle around this new person warily.

[ Who are you?!] Xu Fei asked nervously, She suspected Xu yi was already an infallible martial arts Master since she couldn't feel his cultivation, Luckily Long Chen was also at that realm but it seemed the youth was stronger Than Long Chen by a bit. after being summoned, he hadn't found the chance to actually understand what he could do , the smile on his face vanished as he flexed his frail looking limbs became . A vibrant aura of youth oozed from him.

With a simple twist on his neck, you could hear the sounds of cracking bones from his head onto his feet.

He ecstatically looked at his hands as he opened on closed his empty hands repeatedly.

[That's all for now, let's see the limit of this body before I try to understand Chi, Come.] Xu yi said coldy, having completed his test, he spread his fan in a taunting motion as he placed his other arm behind his back.

[Bastard!!!, continue pretending, trying to use me! Long Chen as a training dummy?!! see what happens to you after I'm done with you] Long Chen was enraged as he unsheathed his Blade.

Although Xu fei thought this person was bluffing, Her entire being was ringing warning bells, trying to tell her to flee. But she couldn't just return without even trying, so she came up with a plan.

[Long chen, I'll go take care of the kid, you best make sure to hold him here and don't let your guard down. He's not as weak as he looks.] She warned him as she headed towards Xu Yun's abode while Long Chen charged towards Xu yi Swinging his Blade at his abdomen with speed but diverted its trajectory mid way, sacrificing power for accuracy as he aimed to split Xu yi's throat.

Xu yi closed his fan abruptly with a pkak! sound as he stepped backwards, pulling his head back before using the Fan to deflect the direction of the blade Khing!!, thereby dodging it by a hairs breath and using his elbow to send Long Chen flying towards Xu fei's direction.

This Shocked the young woman as she stopped moving when she first heard the sound of the closing hand Fan. the sound disrupted her thoughts for a second and by the time she recovered, she saw Long Chen flying towards her. Surprisingly, Long Chen stopped right at her foot and when she looked towards the youth, He wasn't there anymore. she was alarmed, just as she was about to move a Voice spoke right beside her ears,

[ Hmm...I don't get it, I don't remember telling you to leave.] making her stumble.

[I guess we would have to take this somewhere else] When she heard his statement, everything within her vision changed as she was now surrounded by trees!!.

At this time Long Chen Stood up with the aid of his Blade, His carefree expression was now serious as that elbow hit let him know that this youth was not a paper tiger. He was of the same realm possibly stronger by a bit if he has to consider the youth being able to teleport continuously.

The two assassins had only one thought running through their mind as they stared at this youth, which was RUN!!! but they knew it would be a futile effort to do that. coming to this conclusion they both looked at each other and nodded before brandishing their weapons and charging at Xu yi.

Xu Fei's POV

------------------

I Charged forward at this monster , making sure not to be in front of Long Chen before stepping in behind a tree and blending in with the Shadows and slowly vanishing from sight.

[you won't be lucky this time…] watching Long Chen being this serious was a first for me, his gaze was dark and sinister as he twirled his Blade and added Chi to his blade before attacking in 4 successions at the heart, lungs, abdomen and lastly the head but the youth still effortlessly deflected them. their movement speed became a blur as I watched them exchange blows.

[I can't stay passively like this, after all I'm next ]

before I could think of anything there was a 'Bang!' as both parties separated. They were both perspiring but when I looked at them, Long Chen was looking miserable. his black attire was riddled with holes as his arms kept shaking showing that he had sustained an injury. there were red marks on his skin showing he had just used a berserk skill.

Meanwhile the youth's wounds were just as bad but they were healing at a pace that it was visible to the naked eye. within seconds all that was left were his tattered clothes.

[if you want to kill me, you need to do more damage than that] He finally said with that detestable smile!! again.

[very well! You have earned my respect!!, you still haven't told me your name.] Long Chen asked while he lifted his blade, pointing it at the youth.

[Ah!! where are my manners, I cannot embarrass my Lord like this. this one is called Xu Yi, Surname Xu first name Yi!] Xu yi responded proudly, peeling off what was left of his black tang suit.

[Let's decide this with one move] As soon as Long Chen's voice faded, Turbulent winds appeared from nowhere, creating a snow storm as azure colored Chi gathered on his Blade.

Xu yi on the other hand kept calm, standing there with his eyes closed and he slowly opened his Fan.

With another Battle Cry Long Chen's body bulged, making him turn into a 2m tall giant as he Swung the Azure Blade causing space to twist anywhere it passed. At this time I began to move, I pulled out my flying daggers before tossing then at Xu yi in order to distract him but it was then it happened!!. He opened his eyes which glowed with Violet light, immediately closing his hand Fan with another Pkak!! snuffing out the Chi on the blade and stopping Long Chen's movement for a split second before turning to my direction and opening the Fan again with precise movement as he Changed their trajectory towards Long Chen's vitals.

Clang!...

Clang!...

Puchi!

Puchi!

Puchi!

Puchi!...

Thud!

I couldn't believe what I saw, everything happened so fast and Long Chen was dead. the only different was that Xu yi looked visibly paler, Clearly he expended a lot of Chi with whatever he just did. I wonder how weak he had become, maybe I can make an escape, I must report this to her Highness and if possible use that fool as a meat shield.

but, since when has the clan had such a genius, his deeds should have been widespread throughout at least Chengdu by now and there would be almost no one who did not know of him. Or has Xu Yunzheng been training people secretly?? all the more reason I should escape.

But no matter how much I thought of running, my legs seemed to have betrayed me.

[Don't Bother running, I still have more than enough energy to crush you if you Do].

Before I could retort something hit me with great force from behind as I merely lost consciousness.

_______________________________

When Xu Yun woke up, He was staring at himself lying on the bed. His white hair was sprawled all over the place as his long lashes fluttered under the moonlight, his light red lips were parted as he breathed ever so lightly. if he didn't know that was him, he would have thought it was a girl sleeping peacefully under her blanket. he didn't know how much of a pretty boy he was until this moment, to think he would end up as one the pretty boys he hated so much in his past life he was simply speechless. this must be karma, looking around him and he began to wonder.

[Why am I watching myself???] He exclaimed but Quickly covered his mouth due to the shock he got from his 'Voice'.

+1,000,000exp

{Congratulations on Breaking through to the infallible martial arts Master realm}

He was surprised and Quickly looked at the combat log and found out Xu yi killed an assassin.

{As per the configured settings, Avatar will be upgraded to the Grandmaster realm} hearing this announcement made him laugh and made a Gutso pose but something strange happened as he suddenly felt a weird growing bulge on his chest jiggle a bit.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH?????!!!!!!!
