Translator:Â Â A very fierce method! However, Jun Mo Xie wasnât regarding this method as âfierceâ or even âruthlessâ, but as simply necessary! Each individual attack of this series was fatal, and their combined impact over such a short duration had made them even more so!
The reason he considered these attacks to be necessary was simple: Their path was being obstructed by a Jade Xuan, and the only way to get out was to either use the Yin Yang Escape law or go for overkill without using his Xuan Qi since he was well aware that he couldnât break through a stronger enemyâs Xuan Qi protection! In case he used the Yin Ying escape law to get past the man, he was sure to stop and kill his guards!
[You will need to die my friend! Itâs better that you die than us! Therefore you must die!] Jun Mo Xie was well aware that he couldnât afford to stall for even one second, else he would have a difficult time in getting everyone to safety, and therefore he had raining such powerful and consecutive strikes onto the assassinâs body!
As far as Jun Mo Xie was concerned, that Jade Xuan assassin only had himself to blame for his miserable death. Had the man not been so powerful, then he too would have died as painlessly as his comrades!
Even though Jun Mo Xie had landed several fatal blows onto the manâs body in a flash, he had still managed to maintain his forward velocity while the body of the Jade Xuan assassin had hung onto his own as the two of them bolted forward!
Boom!
Just as Jun Mo Xieâs knee landed the final blow, the body of the Jade Xuan assassin suddenly split apart. His four limbs detached from the rest of his body, and flew out in four different directions, while his head dismembered from the core of his body and flew over Jun Mo Xieâs head. The body which had been hanging onto Jun Mo Xieâs, had now suddenly dismembered into a hundred fragments. The deceased assassinâs bones and flesh were now flying out in different directions while his blood was merging into the falling raindrops!
Jun Mo Xieâs eight bodyguards quickly made their way forward through the blood and rain without slowing down; in fact, they werenât required to slow down at all during this in-motion combat sequence! The assassins who were chasing them had also seen this sequence very clearly: in their eyes, this demonic figure had just opened up a big and red hole in the body of their lieutenant, and had just torn his body apart like a piece of paper!
The escaping men continued to breeze forward and made another cornerâŚ. and were relieved to realize that they had finally made it to safety!
A few gorgeously glittering Xuan Qi lights were quickly braving their way through the rain and towards them; the Jun Familyâs support troops were arriving!
âXiao Qi!âŚ..â Li Zhi Wu was running forward as fast as possible as he continued to stare at the rainy sky while his comradeâs head spiraled through the air. He came to stop as the head landed on the ground, and rolled over twice and came to a halt next to his feet. His comradeâs lifeless face was turned upwards, but was missing two eyesâŚâŚ. His face was still carrying a ferocious expression on it⌠even the traces of his sadistic smile were still frozen on his lifeless face!
It was almost as if the man had been struck by lightning and had been unable to change his facial expression before succumbing to his death!
Even though these two men were unrelated by flesh, they had become brothers in bond over the numerous risky assignments that they had taken together over these past few decades! And now his brotherâs dismembered face was lying next to his feet!
Even if he managed to pick up his brotherâs entire body, Li Zhi Wu knew that he still wouldnât be able to piece it back together!
[What is this strange feeling?]
The black-robed leader of the assassins could feel his blood boiling. He could still hear Xiao Qi boasting about his smart and quick-witted son, and about his kind and loving wifeâŚ.. he even remembered Xiao Qi mentioning that he would wash his hands clean of this life after this final assignment, and would then concentrate on rearing his family along with his wifeâŚ. far away from this city; like normal people, and would live happily ever afterâŚ..
He could clearly hear his friendâs words and could even see the desire in his eyes as he had said: [Iâm sick and tired of this blood-soaked way of life!]
And thenâŚ. Just now his friend had obeyed his own command and had charged forward to stop their escaping targets!
And just now he had died in front of his own eyes! And had died in the most gruesome manner possible!
Just because of his one commandâŚâŚ
âWho are you? I dare you to leave your name behind!â Li Zhi Wu roared as he stood motionlessly in the rainâŚ. his voice sounded as shrill as that of an old ape! âWho are youâŚâŚ?!â
A crisscross lightning bolt lit up the sky once again, and the sounds of thunder started to ring endlessly from the sky above, like drums on a battlefield; powerful and heavy; suppressive and bloody!
The hitman Jun shouted back loudly: âI dare you to tell me your name!â since the Jun Familyâs reinforcements had arrived, the situation had completely reversedâŚ. And Jun Mo Xie had already realized that the leader of his attackers had lost his mind to chaos upon losing his friend, and was hoping to take full advantage of it!
Li Zhi Wu shouted back hatefully: âI amâŚâŚ you damn bastardâŚ.. at least have the guts to tell me your name!â He realized his enemyâs intentions at the last second, and withheld his name.
But no one answered backâŚ.. However, the Jun Familyâs reinforcements were already galloping at full speed since they had spotted the situation.
âWithdraw!â a cold voice originated from the throat of a slender black-dressed woman. Her wet hairs were pasted against her beautiful face, and one could clearly see through her veil and tell that her pupils had gone completely cold with pain and disappointment. However, despite all of it, she was still categorical enough to issue the command for retreat.
Li Zhi Wu immediately returned to his senses, and bent down to pick up his friendâs head. He tried to scream one last threat, but his voice broke before he could find his words and so he simply stared at the backs of Jun Mo Xie and his guardsâŚ.. his eyes were blatantly exposing the sea of hatred which was turning and twisting inside his heart!
Then, he turned around and left without saying anything more.
[Brother Xiao QiâŚ.Iâll take you home!]
His two tragic and teary eyes quietly disappeared into the dark of the streets.
The remaining of assassins were unable to fetch the bodies of their friends, and were forced to leave their fallen behind. By the time the Jun platoon arrived, all they saw was a collection of dead and cold bodies on the floorâŚ..
Jun Mo Xie had already settled the immediate crisis, and had somehow managed to spoil the assassination attempt on his lifeâŚ..
A yellowish light flickered from far away, almost as if it was flying in the dark sky, and landed straight in front of the eight bodyguards: âWhere is the young master?â
It was the butler, Old Pang! This old and loyal butler of the Jun Family was a peak Earth Xuan expert in reality!
The eight people were left stunned upon realizing this truth in that moment! [The masked man had said that the young master is safeâŚ. But where is he? Where did young master go? He didnât get home yet?] With no concrete answer to give, they just continued to stare at each other blankly.
Old Pangâs face started to wrinkle as his eyebrows gradually started to rise, he gloomily asked: âDid you really abandon the young master and escaped alone?â his voice was already beginning to reek of his murderous intentions!
âAhâŚ..thatâs notâŚ..thatâsâŚ. a mysterious expert said that he had rescued the young masterâŚ.. we were completely encircled by the enemy at that time, but he also rescued usâŚ.. the young master didnât reach homeâŚ.â Jun Huâs eyes were fixed on the ground while his head was lowered with shame. He was well aware that if his young master is dead, then his life and that of his men wouldnât even remotely be enough to compensate for the loss.
âA mysterious master? Who was that mysterious master? Where is he?â Old Pangâs tone continued to get colder with each question he asked: âDid you really abandon the young master on the word of an unknown man? And then you just rushed out to ensure your own safety? Is that what you joined this family for?!â
âPop!â the eight men simultaneously knelt to the ground in the pouring rain with nothing to say in their defense, and seemingly ready to accept their penalty.
Old Pang sighed and grunted: âJun Hu, itâs a pity that we accepted you into the family, trained you and then trusted you with the safety of the young master. We gave you the responsibility of his safety! And now the fate of the young masterâs life is unknown! Youâre held in capital offense in accordance with the military regulations! What do you have to say about that?â
âI have nothing to say in my defense; I accept my punishment.â Jun Hu remained knelt on the ground as the blood and rain poured over his expressionless face.
He could have said many thingsâŚ. such as, he had only obeyed the command of his young master, and that since the young master was the only intended target, he had broken away from the young master in order to attract the attention of the enemy. He could have spoken about the valor which he fought⌠he could have said all of it; but he chose to keep quiet. He was well aware that if anything untoward had happened to his young master, then all his explanations werenât worth anything since it would still mean that he failed in his line of duty!
âHang onâŚâŚ.â Jun Mo Xie jumped over the adjacent wall, and ran over: âOld Pang, please donât blame these people wrongly. If Jun Hu hadnât fought so bravely and distracted the enemy, then I wouldnât have been able to get away.â Jun Mo Xie narrated the tale of Jun Huâs bravery.
âIs that so?â Old Pangâs face immediately calmed down: âWhy didnât you say so?â
Then he looked around and asked: âWhereâs that mysterious expert who saved you all? This person saved the life of the young master⌠the entire family is in his debt, and so he must be rewarded accordingly.â
âHe went in that direction, but he was too agile, and therefore I cannot be too sure which way he went afterwardsâŚ..â Jun Hu raised his finger and pointed in Jun Mo Xieâs direction, whilst still kneeling on the ground.

âThat man was really weirdâŚ.. he threw me straight to the ground.â Jun Mo Xie brushed his forehead almost as if it was bruised: âHe actually kicked me after saving my life and left without saying goodbye.â
âWhat did this person look like?â Old Pangâs mind started shuffling through several ideas.
âHis face was masked, so itâs impossible to tell.â Jun Mo Xie and Jun Hu spoke up at the same time. Even though Jun Mo Xieâs voice seemed ignorant, Jun Huâs tone seemed full of gratitude.
Old Pang waved his hand as he stated in a deep voice: âYou eight will report to the master of the house, and youâll tell him the entire story without any omissions, and then youâll wait for the masterâs judgment!â
âYes!â the eight men readily agreed and stood up on their feet once again.
