6 No Mercy Under My Sword (2/2)
Yun Yang snorted, “Brave fool, do you have the courage to flee?”
Hands whipping in a blur, he flung a small piece of silver towards them – it struck the man’s thigh in a lightning-quick motion. Everyone watched in horror as the man pitched onto the floor, moaning and writhing in pain. After only taking two steps, his leg had been twisted bizarrely, and his bones snapped out of their joints, at painfully perpendicular angles.
The other two crooks exclaimed in horror, their thoughts fluttering like trapped butterflies; Death had finally come for them… was it to be in the form of a great master?
Incessant cries of pain could be heard, as the man with the broken thigh thrashed around aimlessly.
“Are you coming over or not?” Yun Yang’s foot was still on Wang Bao’s face, as he cajoled the other two men, “What will it be? Do you both want me to strike your legs as well?”
The two crooks shuddered upon looking at the two pieces of silver that had appeared in Yun Yang’s hands. Both of them dropped to their knees immediately, “Great... great knight… my humble… my humble self… begs for mercy…”
“Mercy?”
Yun Yang responded with the dispassionate tone of a vengeful god, “If I let the both of you go, how will I be able to face my late brothers?”
Wang Bao groaned in pain, his voice trembling as he pleaded, “O’ great knight, please have mercy… We, we are from the Green Snake Clan, everything… and anything can be brought to a discussion…”
“Green Snake Clan?”
Were they in a clan? Yun Yang’s eyes glinted, “Stand up, follow me! Do enlighten me, as to what exactly a Green Snake Clan is!” He turned around and nodded at Juan’er, “Please return home, this has does not concern the rest of you.”
Juan’er looked at him in shock; her expression aghast, apparently taken aback, “You’re… you’re… Wang Zhuang’s brother?”
Yun Yang hesitated a moment before responding, “My lady, you need not fear. There will no longer be a single soul that would dare harm this family of warriors anymore.”
Deliberately ignoring her question, Yun Yang turned away and hastened all four thugs to a deserted courtyard where he threw them to the ground and slammed the doors shut.
“Green Snake Clan? Who is the clan master? How many people are there? Where is your base located?” Yun Yang’s tone brooked no opportunity for deviation, and they could see what would happen to them if they lied.
Wang Bao and his gang immediately answered his questions, as they were still suffering from agonizing pain. They were entirely certain that if they hesitated in their responses, this demon would inflict even more grievous injuries upon them.
This man confronting them was the devil incarnate!
Yun Yan’s smile began to grow wider as he gathered the information he needed, “Green Snake Clan. Phew, it doesn’t matter if you are from the Green Snake Clan or even if you are the crown prince. Only death awaits you if you ever harm any family member of the warriors!”
His intentions for bringing the thugs to this deserted courtyard were simple – to avoid causing further trouble for Juan’er, and to gather information regarding the Green Snake Clan. Now that he had achieved his goal, well, there was nothing else stopping him from doing what he desperately wanted to do since he had first set eyes
Yun Yang bloodlust was unleashed with terrible efficiency; a swift slash of his blade drew a brilliant line of silver across the courtyard.
Blood splattered everywhere, as four heads dropped onto the floor with wet thuds.
Yun Yang’s voice was soft and sinister as he whispered,
“If the world’s atrocities will never end; there will be no mercy under my sword.”
“Brothers in war share life and death as comrades, for we are family;
Having me killed is like killing my father;
Humiliating me is like humiliating my mother;
The laws for high treason restrictive, the civil laws inadequate;
Sword in hand, kin in heart;
Kill on sight, have no mercy!
No regret in drawing your sword, no qualms in living this life.”
