Eps. 73 — Cleaning
Niu Zuan kept running with Liu Yanxi and Liu Kai as fast as he could and wished his father had not chased him.
Although he could survive the attack of Niu Qisha, Niu Zuan was not happy especially because the coup plan ended in failure. He could watch as he fled to the outer gate, the masked troops that were his troops were one by one finished off.
His two-year coup plot ended in something unexpected. Not only did he not become the Chairman of the Niu clan, he also lost his position as the Supreme Elder in his clan.
“If I do not become the Leader of the Niu clan then there is no Niu clan in this province.”.
Niu Zuan's hatred was already in his crown, he already had no supporters in his clan now and could not possibly occupy as the Chairman of the Niu clan if his people only considered him an enemy.
Niu Zuan changed his ambition not to become a clan leader but to destroy the Niu clan completely until the people at once.
The departure of Niu Zuan was nothing to stop him especially since his strength was already in the Earth Realm, the warriors of the Niu clan were self-aware that their strength was not enough to deter Niu Zuan let alone kill him.
His departure also had an impact on the masked troops, they wanted to escape but the Niu clan warriors did not let him. Watching his opponent intent on killing, the masked forces fought back with all their might but as their fewer numbers made his condition disadvantageous.
One by one the masked troops fell, the resistance they did felt futile as the swordsmen of the Niu clan continued to arrive. They were also exhausted so they could not use all their strength.
Some masked troops dropped their weapons and surrendered, the Niu clan master who was already too angry no matter and his exclamation, they still killed the masked troops that existed.
The swordsmen of the Niu clan clearly hated this attack let alone hearing of Niu Zuan's betrayal, none of them were happy for the betrayal of the leader he trusted.
Since they could not vent the anger on Niu Zuan, the masked army that was his army became an outlet.
“I surrender! I won't fight anymore!”
“Stop, we've lost now!”
Shouts rang out from the masked troops, seeing some of his comrades killed, making them realize there was no way out to live other than by surrendering.
“What do you think after giving up we will let you live. You have killed many of our troops, this is a lesson so that you do not offend the great clans.”
The swordsmen of the Niu clan did not care about them begging until tears came out though. Tonight they were determined to kill all of Niu Zuan's troops without the slightest exception.
Massacres occurred everywhere and in almost all areas of the clan government. The masked troops could do nothing when the surrender was not enough to protect his life, they tried to put up a final fight.
“Young Master Jian, the condition of this battle has begun to side with our stronghold,” Miou Lin saw his satias from the roof. “You should rest first! Later my bodyguard will take care of you dissi~..”.
Miou Lin had just wanted to finish his words when suddenly Jian Chen had already ran over and drew his sword.
“Young Master Jian, you want to ma~”
Miou Lin was again unable to continue his incantation because Jian Chen had suddenly killed one of the masked troops present, the woman barely blinked when Jian Chen cut off the neck of his enemy.
Killing in their teens alone had shocked them even more Jian Chen killed him like there was no burden though.
Those who had gotten used to killing alone had always been hesitant to kill, seeing Jian Chen react without the slightest hesitation made them think at a single conclusion. Jian Chen was a cold blood killer.
Jian Chen shook the blood on his sword then turned his head towards Miou Lin. “Sister Miou I will help with this cleaning, they cannot be allowed to live..”.
Originally Jian Chen was still pitying Niu Zuan's troops because they were only acting following the orders of his superiors, but upon realizing these masked troops had high killing abilities, he realized that Niu Zuan had been working with one of the assassin organizations.
Jian Chen's hatred for such a murderous organization was deep, his main factor being that in his first life he was besieged by an organization that left him injured and ended up losing his life.
Jian Chen did not wait for Miou Lin's reply, he directly ran towards the masked troops present. By drinking the inner energy recovery potion earlier, there were 30 inner energy circles filled in his body.
Miou Lin watched as Jian Chen's back began to disappear, he bit his lips, confused as to what to act like.
“We follow Young Master Jian, we cannot let him walk alone!”
Although Miou Lin was a little afraid of Jian Chen's cruelty he remained objective, however the safety of Jian Chen was now very important.
Miou Fan had previously indeed ordered Miou Lin to protect Jian Chen, had he not met him in the Niu clan, Miou Lin had already intended to hire a swordsman to keep Jian Chen in the shadows.
To the Association, Jian Chen was arguably the most important person on par with himself and the elders of the Miou clan.
When Miou Lin followed after Jian Chen, he found that the teenager had already killed 10 people in his footsteps, every time there was an enemy before Jian Chen they would be killed in a single slash.
Miou Lin gulped as he held his breath but he still chased after Jian Chen from behind, not taking long until Jian Chen could be overtaken.
Jian Chen smiled faintly as Miou Lin and his entourage were already beside him, he drank another bottle to recover the inner strength he had lost.
A few seconds later Jian Chen's dim golden radiant sword returned, his running speed drastically increased, after feeling himself protected, Jian Chen would focus on attacking.
The Miou Lin entourage breathed coldly from time to time when seeing Jian Chen's ruthlessness up close, they had no chance to help because Jian Chen had always killed his opponent in a single slash.
Not to mention that Jian Chen's slash was always aimed at his opponent's neck, it was inevitable that in his footsteps there were many heads rolling.
‘This Young Master Jian, is he really 14 years old.’.
Miou Lin gulped as well as broke out in cold sweat looking at Jian Chen's murderous reaction as if it was no big deal.
Every now and then when he looked at his golden eyes he could see there was darkness in Jian Chen's heart, a darkness that symbolized so great a hatred in his heart.
