Chapter 1843: 24.104 Sixth Violet Star - Flare

As Xie Yun suggested, he and his master tried to change each other’s vessels. At this moment, it can be said that the two of them can control their former vessels more than their new ones. After all, one was born and lived his life as a beast king while the other hid among the humans and pretended to be using his master’s original vessel.

The exchange between them is through bumping each other’s forehead and wishing for them to exchange bodies. Though it makes one dizzy on their first try, they get used to it after trying it a few times. With Xie Hei back to his body as the Beast King, with him leading the group, they moved faster and no longer had to stop for Xie Hei to check the route.

However, when they are about to reach the end of the tunnel, Xie Hei abruptly stops the group.

Xie Yun , riding on his back, asked, "What’s wrong?"

"There’s a group outside the tunnel. They didn’t know the exact location of the tunnel but it seems they had guessed the range of its location. Most of these men are assassins," said Xie Hei as he can smell a thick scent of blood lingering on these men.

Xie Yun frowned and recalled about the group of assassins that left with Shadow when he detached himself from the pavilion and chose to serve only his master, Pei Jin. It can be said that more than a quarter had left with them after that day.

"They must be the traitor who left the Killer Pavilion with Shadow. There is no need to keep any of them alive. Just kill them all!" Xie Yun said.

Long Huang said, "Since it’s like this... there is no need to hold back any longer. Kill our way out and go past the borders. As long as we entered the border, the reinforcements will be there to support us and fight a beast king in rampage."

The group decided to fight as they came out of the tunnel and jumped out from it attacking the men outside the tunnel. Caught off guard most of these assassins failed to react as the assassins from the Killer Pavilion had made a move and sneak behind them for an instant kill. They couldn’t even call for the other members of their group.

The old marshal knew that they couldn’t waste time and commanded, "Hurry to the borders!"

"Yes, Sir!" Everyone responded as they went for a run.

No one hesitated on this run as they could feel other people moving in their direction. Seeing this, the urgency in their run was even more prominent.

Xie Yun said, "There’s still more groups. My pavilion members hide in our shadows."

Using shadows to assassinate is a special ability bestowed by the Killer Pavilion Master. However, not everyone can use it. Only the assassins under the list of top 20 can do so. Except for First, and Third (Shadow) who had defected from the Pavilion, he had brought all those assassins over with him, the other 10 were ordinary assassins who blended with the group.

As expected when they were halfway to the borders, a few more groups of assassins had jumped on them. They were fast and merciless. Thankfully, the members of this group are not vegetarians and were able to retaliate.

Long Huang said, "Those who can continue to run, go to the borders and ask for reinforment!!"

A few of the soldiers and assassins in the group had split from the group, making some assassins chase after them as they tried all ways to call for reinforcement. Only those with flare in their possession had run out. Long Huang and Xie Yun remained to command the rest of the group who was forced to stop just so they could fight back.

It was unknown how many people from the Pei Clan had been sent. But clearly, their numbers were enough to overwhelm the group led by the old marshal and the Killer Pavillion Master.

Xie Yun shouted, "They are trying to stall us here! Head to the borders!"

As expected the people had prevented them from leaving but this didn’t stop the group from moving forward. In the end, the assassin cannot completely stop them and they started to take drastic measures. There are those who jumped on people and started exploding leaving everyone stunned on the spot.

BOOOM!

No one would have expected to use self destruction just to drag them down with them. Long Huang’s expression became furious when he saw this scene. A few people on their side had died together with some human bombs.

Long Huang bellows, "Don’t you know what the hell you are doing?!!!"

"Lao Huang, calm down. Watch your heart. They are desperate or maybe their current master has withheld the most precious thing in their lives as a hostage. There is nothing we can do about them," Xie Yun said.

In his mind, his thoughts are: ’You crazy son of a bitch! You dare use living beings as a living bomb!? A lunatic! What a damn madman you are!’

Long Huang shouted, "Don’t let them cling on you! Kill on sight! This is an order!"

A kill on sight order rarely comes from the old marshal’s mouth. However, upon seeing his soldiers dying because they didn’t kill the men who cling on them on the spot and lost their lives to explosions made things worse for them. With this new order from Long Huang they had a higher level of survival.

Among those who had run off ahead of them, one of them seems to have succeeded in using the flare and a crest colored one appeared in the sky. Upon seeing this the people from the Pei Clan had cursed in their hearts. They can only wish that someone from the barracks had seen it.

—

At the borders, Mu Liao and the some knights were overlooking the horizons of the barren land.

Mu Liao had been here for quite a long time. He also heard about what happened to Long Teng and his urgency to see the Old Marshal had gotten stronger. He originally planned to enter the Barren Land but was stopped by the commander who just recently received a new letter from the old marshal about their plans to return. If not for this letter Mu Liao would have brought a group to enter the Barren Lands.

The commander spoke, "You should rest. It is unknown when exactly the group led by the old marshal and killer pavilion master will return to this part of land. Since we had received a message that they are on their way back we should..."

His words were cut off and followed by the loud sound was the crest of the Long Clan in the sky. The moment the commander sees it his expressions turn serious.

The commander commanded, "All soldiers listen! Gather at the borders at this moment. Half of you will remain to protect the borders from invasion and the other half... come with me to enter the outer region of the Barren Lands."

Under the commands of the commander, the whole barracks had turned serious. Upon gathering enough soldiers, he had led them to the location where the flare had been seen suddenly appearing in the sky.

The commander, "Make final preparations and we are leaving in half an hour."

The soldiers had gathered fast as soon as the command was made. Seeing the situation Mu Liao knew that the commander was heading out to find the one who had used the flare.

Mu Liao said, "I am going too!"

"Do as you wish!" The commander said.

After half an hour they left the borders and ended the outer region of the Barren Lands, they were all in a hurry to go to the location where the flare had been fired. They wanted to meet the ones who had used that flare as soon as possible as a red colored flare meant ’Danger! Calling for reinforcement!’

"I did it! I hope the pepper at the borders has seen it!!" The soldier said.

Meanwhile , the one who had succeeded in using the flare was about to be happy with his action when suddenly he was stabbed in the heart.

Argh!

The soldier lowered his head and saw a blade sticking out of his check from behind. He knew that he had let down his guard and this result was the end for it.

THUD!

The soldier fell on the ground as the sword was pulled out. The assassin left the area wanting to continue their mission and complete it as soon as possible so they can survive. After they left, the soldier who was stabbed in his heart opened his eyes and used his own blood to leave a letter for the one who can find him first.

At the last moment of the soldier’s life, he smiled as he looked into the sky above. He had done everything he could and now... He could rest in peace and slowly closed his eyes.
