Chapter 63 - Secrets of the World (1/2)
The enemy leader saw the incoming Sima and Nangong Families. His lips which was covered by a mask twitched in annoyance. He then dashed forward and slashed his sword.
Situ Lengyun instinctively evaded the attack, but then he felt that something was wrong.
”Slash!” The enemy leader's attack was not meant for him! But it was actually aimed for his son, the patriarch of the Situ Family, Situ Shengong.
”Aaarrrghh!” Situ Shengong knelt on the ground. A long line of deep wound that stretched from his right shoulder towards the left part of his lower hips can be seen. His internal organs can also be seen sticking out as blood flowed ceaselessly from the cut.
”Thud!” Situ Shengong dropped to the ground, his fate unknown. But even if he was still alive, he won't last for much long.
”Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
”Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The fighters from the Sima and Nangong Families fired their guns widly towards the robed individuals.
”Let's depart for now! We can kill them next time!” The enemy leader shouted an order towards his men. He then grabbed a small circular object from his robes and threw it on the ground. A bright flash of white light emerged after the object hit the ground, making everyone inside the mansion to close their eyes.
After more than ten seconds, they opened their eyes slowly, but the assassins were no longer there.
They walked towards the bodies of the A-Class fighters and check if some were still alive, but all of them were already dead.
”Grand Patriarch Lengyun, sorry we were late. We could have caught them if we arrived a bit earlier!” Sima Yantong clenched his fists tightly as he glanced at the dead fighters of the Situ Family. Both their families might have some misunderstandings in the past, but it did not reach the point where they would kill each other.
The Nangong Family's patriarch sighed in pity as he glanced at the old Grand Patriarch of the Situ Family.
”My son! Shengong! Aarrgghh!!” Situ Lengyun knelt on the ground and held the bloodied body of Situ Shengong. The former did not seem to mind the blood and internal organs as he hugged the body of his dead son.
”Why do you have to die before me?!” Situ Lengyun's body slowly morphed back to his original form as he sobbed with extreme sorrow. He spat a mouthful of blood, but he continued holding his son's body as if it was the most precious thing in the world.
”Cough! Cough! Cough!” Situ Lengyun coughed heavily as if he was on his last breath.
The Nangong Family patriarch stepped forward and wanted to help the old man, but a hand grabbed his shoulder. He then saw Sima Yantong shaking his head with a look of sadness. The Nangong Family patriarch sighed and just consoled the Situ Family with his gaze filled with pity.
”Cough! Cough! Blergh!” Situ Lengyun coughed more blood, but he did not move. His tears never stopped from falling and continued sobbing mournful cries.
”Screech!”
