21 The red nigh (1/2)
Bai Yun slowly slid into the tent of one of the morons. He did not go after one of his high priority targets first. He knew that there were sixteen people left in the group. He also knew that it was nearly impossible to kill Bai shan quietly. Thus he had to kill as many people as possible before going for Bai Shan. But if he delayed too long Bai Shan might wake up due to the smell of blood.
Bau Yun looked at the sleeping moron. He had not even made any traps and was sleeping soundly. Bai Yun used his qi, to create a very thin needle. This was extremely thin and not very long, but was extremely sharp. This needle was one of the techniques he had found in the Assassin God's legacy.
If was to simply slit the throat of the sleeping moron, without any methods to quieten or subdue him, Bai Yun might not be able to hide the sounds that he would make at the moment of his death. But if was able to quietly let off some blood, then he could hasten the process and lessen the time it would take for him to die, as well as weaken him in the process.
Bai Yun used the qi needle, and prodded at some of the major veins and arteries in his body. None of the morons were following the bod tempering path, so it was much easier to kill them. Bai Yun watched for ten minutes as the blood slowly pooled beneath the sleeping moron, adding other probes to increase the flow if the wound closed up. As the moron started to pale and stated to wake up, Bai Yuns right arm quickly slit his throat, while his left covered his mouth, and snapped his neck at the same time.A very mild snap could be heard, as he killed him. A moment later the body of the moron slumped down, dead.
All in all Bai Yun had spend nearly fifteen minutes killing him. After he was done, Bai Yun made sure that he had no blood on his body. Any cultivators were sensitive to the smell of blood and he did not wast to wake anyone when he walked into their rooms. Bai Yun slowly walked out of the tent, while covering it up as securely as possible so as not to let the smell of blood out.
After this Bai Yun slowly walked to the next tent and continued his process. It took him an hour and a half before he killed seven more morons, all without anyone being none the wiser. He had killed some people who were in deep sleep so that they would not make any noise, and also the old sentry, who was not here yesterday, and thus was not sleeping as deeply. He didn't want him to wake up due to some small noise that might be made.
Now that he had killed eight people in all, he could smell the blood very faintly. He was sure that none of the morons would be able to smell it, and neither would any beasts thanks to their beast subjugation operation. Bai Yun truly didn't expect that a simple action by him would have such drastic effects, helping him greatly. He decided to go for his major targets.
He wanted to keep the two spies for interrogation, so he could not kill them. He decided to start with the fourth stage qi condensation moron, and then kill Bai Shan. He was sure that the commotion of Bai Shan's death would surely attract some people and then he would get a chance to kill them all in a moment.
When he entered the tent, he found that the fourth stage qi condensation moron had a breakthrough. But his cultivation was incredibly unstable. Bai Yun took some more care, going slower than usual, as a person in a higher cultivation stage would be more sensitive, and it took him twenty minutes before he killed the moron. Just as he was about to die, he came to and stared at Bai Yun's hidden face for a moment. As realization dawned, he was about to scream for help, when Bai Yun twisted his neck. The shock of his neck breaking stopped him from calling out, and he slumped over dead a moment later.
After this was done, Bai Yun slowly crept into Bai Shan's tent. He closed the tent flap behind him carefully, and proceeded to his side. He once again created the qi needle and stabbed him at multiple points.
As he watched Bai Shan slowly bleed Bai Yun kept his perception focused almost entirely on him. As his face went pale, Bai Shan suddenly started to stir. Bai Yun's hand moved in an instant. His right hand slit his ring finger, where Bai Shan kept his storage ring, off of him, and his left arm slit Bia Shan's throat and vocal chords in a single swipe. Bai Yun even launched wind motion in his arms in order to speed them up. Bai Yun was not too proficient in the Assassin God's techniques and did not want to give Bai Shan a chance to either call for help or eat any pills that could heal him.
As Bai Shan sat up, clutching at his throat, Bai Yun tried to attack him again. But he launched false armor, and Bai Yun had to take a step back. Bai Shan stared at him, and tried to find his storage ring, but Bai Yun had already sent it flying away by using his soul tendril. Bai Shan then ran at him, while launching the demon subduing solar fist. Bai Yun, who was standing in front of the tent entrance, simply stepped aside at the last moment using wind motion. After reading the Assassin God's legacy, Bai Yun's wind motion had become much more efficient and sharper. Bai Shan sped through the tent and fell in to the area in front. His demon subduing solar fist landed on the ground and caused a huge boom. A moment later the commotion ended. Bai Yun peeked from inside the tent, and saw Bai Shan lying in the ground, dead.
The remaining six people ran out of their tents. They ran into the common area, only to see Bai Shan's body lying on the ground. They all simply stood around like headless chickens, not knowing what had happened.
