20 Die, Mu Li Sh*t! Part-1 (1/2)
|Yang Lei's POV|
What a sad story. Ji Kuang was an orphan and was raised by his elder sister. Everything went well until he was 5 years old. That was when it happened. Mu Li, who was 13 at the time, happened to stay at their village overnight on a mission with his cronies.
The moment Mu Li and his cronies entered the village, they killed an old man for getting in their way. Although Mu Li had a lower cultivation back then, he was still stronger than the villagers, who were normal people without a single ounce of cultivation. Thus, the village was forced to accommodate these scourges against their wills.
Unfortunately for Ji Kuang and his sister, the house Mu Li chose was theirs. When Mu Li saw Ji Kuang's sister, he decided to spend the night at her home. Although the village chief had a bad premonition, he didn't dare to voice it out, lest his entire village be annihilated if he got these cultivators in a foul mood.
When Ji Kuang's sister's heard about this, she immediately hid her younger brother in the closet. She strictly forbade him from making any noises, even if she died before his eyes.
As Ji Kuang hid in the closet, he heard Mu Li's arrogant voice demanding for her submission to her. Ji Kuang's heart sank when he heard this. Although he was young, he already knew his sister's personality very well. Too well… *ahem*
Just like he had dreaded, his sister refused to become Mu Li's woman. As he was about to force himself upon her, she took out the kitchen knife she had hidden in her sleeve and stabbed Mu Li.
Alas, a normal girl like her was unable to win against Mu Li, whose injuries weren't too serious, and his multiple cronies. She was quickly cornered and before they could subdue her, she slit her own throat and took her own life.
As she collapsed to the floor, lifeless, Ji Kuang's tiny eyes stared in horror through the crack in the door. He restrained himself from jumping out to pull her onto his lap and weep. As he sobbed quietly, he burned Mu Li's image in his mind. He would avenge his sister one day!
”F*ck! What a crazy sl*t…” Mu Li had said back then. He hadn't expected the girl to suddenly attempt to kill him before she suicided. He cursed and said, ”Sh*t, this village is crazy! Wolf Head Mercenaries, let's go! I'm not staying in such a crappy place…”
Obviously, the attempt on his life had rattled him and he no longer wanted to stay in this village. He spat on the ground before he left their cottage, ”What a shame…”
The moment Mu Li and his men left, Ji Kuang scrambled out and cradled his sister's face in his lap. All the emotions and sadness he had been holding in his heart burst out as he weeped in grief. As he held his sister's lifeless, cold hands, he vowed to the heavens that he would make this Mu Li sh*t wish for death!
”I am sorry for your loss…” I shook my head after I heard his story. Damn, that was a tragic story. If I was in his place, I would do anything to kill Mu Li too. I looked up, ”So this is why you've decided to take a position in the Wolf Head Mercenary Company?”
”…” Ji Kuang grit his teeth, ”I joined his f*cking company when I was 13. I have been following him ever since, waiting for the chance to assassinate him. However, his father is too cautious…”
”Oh, his father?” I was curious, ”What about him?”
”His son is never alone and is almost always accompanied with two of his father's most loyal men…” he paused, ”However, he thinks of me as his closest subordinate…”
”…” I froze, ”Closest?” I began to laugh at the irony, ”It seems like the Heavens want this Mu Li c*nt dead! What a bastard he is! Ahahahah!”
”What is your plan to kill him?” Ji Kuang's stony face didn't appreciate my humor. No, it was more like he didn't care about the irony.
”Well, originally, my plan was to wait until Mu Li is alone. Then, I'll kill him in a flash and escape. If I'm discovered, I'll just run away…” I stopped laughing as my expression became serious. However, this plan was seriously flawed. Even if I could escape, Xiao Yan couldn't. He was a complete realm below all the other mercenaries and would be caught immediately.
”Your plan… sucks,” Ji Kuang frowned as he listened. Obviously, he had noticed the problems in my plan.
”Well, with your 7-star Dou Zhe strength and my 6-star Dou Zhe strength, I think we could just kill all of Mu Li's men in the middle of the night before we kill him too…” I nodded as I exposed my true strength.
”That won't work. With your 2-star Dou- What the h*ll?” His eyes popped out when I released a little of my aura. Of course, I also took measures so that others wouldn't find out and detect it.
”6-star D-Dou Zhe?” He gulped as he covered his mouth. ”What the f*ck? At such a young age too!”
”Hehe. How about it?” I chuckled, ”How does tonight sound for the assassination?”
”Tonight?” Ji Kuang finally managed to close his mouth. He thought over my proposal, ”Hm… Tonight should work…”
”How about you tell me about the strength of the other mercenaries, eh? Having infiltrated for so long, you should know a lot of things, right? Maybe some dirty secrets too? Right, what is your specialty?” I grinned cheekily as I fished for information.
However, I wasn't joking. If I just went in like that, forget about killing Mu Li, I would be swamped by his men before I could even find him. Therefore, information about Mu Li's men was critical.
”Oh, those sh*ts?” Ji Kuang gave a gruesome smile. ”I know everything about them… After all, they are Mu Li's personal men, the very ones who accompanied him to my village…”

|3rd Person POV|
As the campfire died down, people settled down inside their tents. Crickets chirped as occasional wolf howls could be heard in the distance, giving those that heard it shivers.
There was a large tent… Around this grandiose tent, there were twenty or so tents arranged in a circle…
Outside a tent, a shadow approached quietly. After it had entered the tent, faint rustling noises could be heard before the shadow quickly left the tent and headed for another tent. Behind him, a dark pool of crimson liquid was slowly spreading, staining the clothes of a unfortunately beheaded mercenary…
One by one, this shadow of death 'visited' each tent, leaving as quickly as he had arrived.
On the other side of the circle of tents, there was another shadow, reaping death as it moved along. This shadow's name was John Cena! Nah, just kidding, it's Yang Lei.
[3-star Dou Zhe killed! +50 KP!] The system interface appeared after his Bloody Cleaver (White) flashed across the cultivator's throat. As warm blood jetted out the cut, Yang Lei scratched his head.
[Killer Page unlocked!] The system announced emotionlessly.
