706 Moment Of Life And Death (2/2)
”These two youths are definitely part of the First Pavilion! Possibly even important figures within the First Pavilion!” Within the Yu Family, the same square-faced middle-aged man exclaimed as he sighed, watching Ling Feng and Ling Yun in the battle. ”In just a few days, the number our people who died under the hands of these two numbered close to 2,000!
On average, each one of them had killed a thousand each! Within those targeted, there were no injuries, only deaths! They were all killed in a single blow, without even the ability to shout for help before they died! Other than the First Pavilion, I believe there's n.o.body else capable of such merciless slaughter!”
”Even if they are from the First Pavilion, they will still have to die!” A shrunken elder by the side viciously stared at Ling Feng and Ling Yun who were embroiled in the battle. ”Since they have already chosen the route of slaughter, then they are definitely prepared to be killed one day!”
”This is not what I meant!” The square-faced man was a little worked up, and he furrowed his brow as he spoke, ”Our attack this time was because they had killed many of the third generation disciples from our Yu Family, which incited our revenge! But have you ever thought, if we were to kill an important person from the First Pavilion, then what will happen to us in return?”
”Especially that number one a.s.sa.s.sin, how will he react? Don't forget, the danger of the First Pavilion's Master is above that of the Martial Order Medallion Owner, Heavenly Justice! While Justice might be the world's number one, but he doesn't make a move easily. So long as we do not provoke him, then he will not care about us! But what about the Master of the First Pavilion?”
”That guy is a pure asura! So long as he wishes to take revenge, our endings will be tragic!”
A couple of people standing on the slope had their expressions change. The fear brought about by the First Pavilion's Master was naturally something they knew and were clear about. They knew that these were not just empty words of the square-faced guy.
”Could it be that we still have to let them go, even though the matters have reached such a point?” At the side, one of the Yu Family's people stared with anger at Ling Feng and Ling Yun. He hatefully spat out, ”So what if it's the First Pavilion? So what, even if we take revenge? Just because they're from the First Pavilion, does that mean that my grandsons and disciples have to die for nothing?!”
He coldly barked with laughter, looking at the square-faced guy with sarcasm, ”Don't tell me Second Brother that you are afraid of revenge from the First Pavilion? Don't forget, the First Pavilion has completely pledged their allegiance to the Divine Prefecture Empire, and showing mercy to our enemies is as good as being cruel to our own people! You're lucky only we are around to hear your words. If the Emperor hears of this, I'm afraid that Second Brother will be in big trouble!”
”What bull are you spouting!” The square-faced male panicked immediately, feeling a little powerless under the stupidity of his fellow teammates. He fiercely lectured, ”You didn't even bother to properly clarify what I meant! Do you think I'm unaware that the First Pavilion and our Yu Family are at odds?”
”The two kids there have killed off so many of our Yu Family disciples, to kill them just like this would be too cheap for them. Since we've already confirmed that they're from the First Pavilion, then why not use this to our advantage? Since the First Pavilion will definitely take revenge, then we'll plan on how to deal with the repercussions so we can breathe easier afterward! If we capture them alive and cripple their cultivations, then wouldn't we be able to use these two as a death trap? Even if we can't capture them alive, their bodies can still be used to tempt the enemy!”
”All of you can't even think of such a simple plan, and only know how to kill people to take revenge. Do you think the matter would end after you guys took your revenge? What about your future plans?!”
Everyone fell into silence.
”Brilliant plan!” The shriveled elder's eyes lit up as he raised his head to speak, ”This is indeed an ingenious plan! After the First Pavilion pledged their allegiance to Ling Tian, they hid so deeply that we couldn't find any traces of them or their headquarters! While the Master of the First Pavilion might be the top a.s.sa.s.sin in the world, vicious and ruthless with martial skills at the pinnacle, he has a shortcoming which is that he deeply treasures his subordinates.”
”So long as we can get both of them in our hands, then I can vent my frustration by inflicting a hundred different tortures on them. At that time, be it alive or dead, they will become the best weapon we have against the First Pavilion!”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, thinking to themselves about the completeness of this plan. Not only would they be able to rid themselves of their anger and frustrations, but also could stage a huge scheme to wipe out their enemy, this was killing two birds with one stone!
At this point, a cold voice rang out, carrying with it obvious sarcasm, pressure, and anger, not to mention an unadulterated killing intent, ”Brilliant plan? Is it really THAT ingenious?”
The voice appeared out of nowhere, and even if the mult.i.tude of experts present here, no one could detect when the owner of the voice had arrived! All of them lost color in their faces as they turned to face their back.
About 70 to 80 feet behind the group, a figure dressed completely in black was standing in front of a shrub that was completely buried by snow, with his back towards them. His black winter cape fluttered along with the wind, and within the field of white snow, he was akin to a black specter. If anyone were to look directly at him, they would be able to feel as though there was a chill seeping out from their hearts, akin to the coldest air from the underworld!
Death, d.a.m.nation, Deathly aura. Everything about him spelled death!
From first glance, it could be seen that the black-robed male had a skinny figure, and his height was not tall as well. But standing there, he seemed to tower over even the tallest person from the Yu Family. It seemed possible that he could decide their life and death with just a single palm strike!
As though feeling their gazes on him, the man in black slowly turned around and walked a few steps towards them. His piercing gaze punched through them one after another, indifferently and coldly remarking, ”It's just you guys?”
”Traceless steps on the snow!” The shriveled elder exclaimed, a rarely seen look of cautiousness appearing on his face, even as his body started to prepare for battle. When everyone else heard his statement, they immediately trembled before staring incredulously at the newcomer's feet. A pair of black shoes was clearly seen floating on the snow, with the yellowing upper area of the shoe appearing extremely clear as well.
The black-robed man probably weighed over 50 kilograms, yet he was able to tread so lightly on the snow, to the point that he left no traces where he walked! It was as though his weight was lighter than that of a feather! Because even a feather would leave traces when dropped on the snow!
The pupils of all the Yu Family experts present shrunk at this sight!
The so-called traceless steps on the snow was just a term given to a realm which one has achieved for their movement techniques. Everyone present had naturally heard of this term, but no one had ever managed to see it with their eyes!
Even those experts who claimed that they had achieved this fabled level were only able to make their bodies slightly lighter, reducing the weight and thus the imprint where they stepped on the snow. However, no one was able to achieve the level of not leaving any footprints. This was the same as the fabled 'traveling a thousand miles in a blink' and the famed 'shrinking meters into inches'. They were merely terminologies, no one had ever managed to walk a thousand miles in an instant...
But the man in black had lightly taken a few steps forward, and everyone could see that behind him there was no trace of the footsteps he had taken! This was a true traceless steps on the snow!
Such movement techniques were simply that of a monster! Just what sort of inner qi was required to bring forth so a divine level of footwork? Let alone them, even their own peerless master, the Yu Family Head Yu ManLou was probably unable to achieve that!
