Chapter 446: Counter Attacking in Danger
Translator: chuchutrain Editor: DavidT, Rock
Just based on his ability to remain calm and composed even under an encirclement, which not even one of his twelve heads could achieve, how could he be ordinary? And there was even a frighteningly powerful First Pavilion behind him . While he wouldn't be afraid of an all-out attack from the First Pavilion, what about his subordinates? His disciples?!
Thus, Yu ManLou calculated that if the black-robed man took on a softer stance, he would allow him to leave . Right now, the Yu Family had enemies akin to the number of leaves on a tree and could do with one less enemy, especially such a powerful one!
Things ran contrary to his thoughts however, as obviously the Pavilion Head was not interested at all in his proposal! Since that was the case then there was no common ground between them! If they couldn't be friends then they could only be enemies . For an ally, the stronger the better, but against an enemy, the stronger the enemy, the earlier it had to be eradicated! One couldn't be soft-hearted, as this would only leave a cancerous situation! While the First Pavilion was strong, it wasn't considered significant in the eyes of the Yu Family . It was just that in these troubled times, one enemy less is one trouble less, especially considering such a frightening a.s.sa.s.sination group . Since they didn't cooperate though, then there was no need to hesitate!
The black-robed man had to be killed!
Yu ManLou slowly raised his right hand, his face filled with killing intent as he coldly spoke, ”Since Pavilion Head refuses to work with me, this old me would like to see if the First Pavilion can still hold its t.i.tle after losing its Pavilion Head!
As his hand dropped, a cold voice barked out the order, ”Light it up! Force him to show himself! Kill!”
In the end, it still escalated to this step! Ling Jian's heart jolted . While he treated his life and death with contempt, when it really came to this juncture, he still felt some lingering fear!
Yu ManLou actually didn't give him even a bit of chance, how decisive, how ruthless!
Ling Jian's face was plastered on the cold and hard earth . His mental state had once again regained tranquility much like a calm lake as all his memories flashed through his mind continuously, from young to old . Outside, heap after heap of firewood was continuously thrown in, not leaving a single place uncovered, and began to blaze up in flames . The fire shot up high towards the sky, lighting up the surrounding area as though it was daytime!
The blaze was quickly approaching where Ling Jian was hidden, and while Ling Jian had protected his body completely with his own internal energy, it was to no avail . The raging flames seemed to have sucked out every single bit of fresh air from the garden, and being in the core of the inferno, Ling Jian already began to feel a little suffocated . His clothes were already smoking, and his hair shriveling, curling up into wisps .
Was it going to end like this?
Ling Jian viciously buried his head down, breathing in the damp and moist air inside the soil . Suddenly, his head sprang out, chilling killing intent shooting out from his eyes . The brightness in his eyes seemed to make even the raging inferno dull in comparison!
Since that's the case, then I might as well stake it all, and get rid of some strong enemies for young n.o.ble!
Even if I am to die, my death has to be worth it!
Within the blaze, a long and intense shout shattered the silence!
The people within the surroundings, including Yu ManLou, all jumped out in fright!
Within the shout, one could hear an unresigned will, as though the person was unable to let go of his worldly matters . It sounded like the desolate mourning of a hero upon meeting an undesired end . Also present was a killing intent that shot towards the sky, a violent and tyrannical battle intent, and a resolve to destroy everything and to die without regrets! Everyone present understood that this Pavilion Head had already reached a point of ignoring life and death itself!
The top a.s.sa.s.sin of a generation indeed carried a peerless demeanor unimaginable by the ignorant ma.s.ses! No matter how the battle ended today, this a.s.sa.s.sin would still be crowned as a king . Just based on the strength behind his shout, he was already worthy of the respect of all martial artists!
The pupils of all the people in the Yu Family present shrank!
A cornered beast is the most dangerous, so how would anyone dare to have contempt for it?
Furthermore, he was an a.s.sa.s.sin among a.s.sa.s.sins whose name had shaken the world . Was he finally going to counterattack because he was in danger?
To want to eliminate this grim reaper without paying even a small price, that was no doubt a huge fantasy! This First Pavilion Head would die today no matter what, but under the circ.u.mstances where he knew his impending death, how many people would he drag down to h.e.l.l with him?
For Yu ManLou, he might be confident of killing this black-robed man, but he probably wouldn't be able to escape the person's final terrifying counterattack!
Everyone had heavy hearts as they trained their eyes on the inferno . Their expressions were grave as they prepared for the arrival of their enemy!
