Gate of Immortality

Chapter 107: Purging Traitors

" Haha, Guo Cheng, You did an excellent job. His Excellency Second Prince will definitely give you a hefty reward." A beardy man laughed. In front of him bowed a young man.

" Lord Chen is magnanimous. It wasn't really easy to learn about their plan. I just hope to get a top grade Purple rank cultivation technique," Guo Cheng said with a respectful tone.

Cultivation techniques are even more precious battle techniques. Using a cultivation technique is far more convenient than directly absorbing qi from nature. A peak Purple grade cultivation technique can help a cultivator to reach the Violet Palace Expansion realm.

" Of course, a peak Purple rank cultivation technique might be rare outside, But Second Prince can easily give you that." Lord Chen laughed. Then he looked at an old man who was looking outside from the window.

What are you looking at, Old Fu?" Lord Chen asked.

" I wonder Why Xu Zhou didn't send the signal of victory?" Old Fu muttered as he looked outside.

" Heh, They must be torturing those fools. Ahahaha, just wait for some time." Lord Chen laughed. " I hope nothing unexpected happened to them." Old Fu said. " Hmph, What could possibly happen? 20 assassins from Traceless Ghost Pavilion, Three top-grade archers who can shoot from 10 miles away. Both Red Li and Xi Zhou have powerful talismans. What thing can go wrong? He must be coming back with the skull of Lu Xiao." Lord Chen sneered.

" Lord Chen is wise." Old Fu nodded.

" Hmph, What wise? He is nothing more than a foolish fish on a chopping board." A sneered sacred three of them. The trio saw a young man with a bronze demonic mask stood on their door.

" Wh-Who are you? You dared to trespass in Lord Chen's manor?" Guo Cheng shouted. " Pathetic traitor, You really changed your side faster than flipping a coin." Another cold laughter startled the trio as the new person emerged from the windows and gave Old Fu a kick.

*BOOM*

In front of this sneak attack, Old Fu was helpless. He flew back and slammed into the wall, creating cracks there. The kicker was another young man with a White mask, Who had two rows of white hair on his hand.

" Lu Xiao! You are alive?" Lord Chen became astonished as he recognized him. He really couldn't believe that 23 people can't kill 10 people of Blood Moon Hall.

" Hah, Guo Cheng, Wee trusted so much, yet you dare to betray us?" Lu Xiao uttered with a murderous tone. Guo Cheng gulped but quickly assured himself. " Hmph, It's just two of them. Lord Chen and Old Fu are both at the Seventh stage of the Primordial Spirit realm. And Lord Chen recently had a breakthrough in his cultivation technique." Guo Cheng thought as he smiled coldly.

" Lord Lu, A wise man must know when to change side. Sine Second Prince offered me two Sky Enchanting Pill and a Peak Purple grade cultivation technique. I naturally went to his side." Guo Cheng laughed shamelessly.

" Motherfucker, You are getting two Sky Enchanting Pills just for selling information?" The Bronze masked man raged as he delivered a kick on the backside head of Guo Cheng. Poor Guo Chng was only a cultivator of the initial Fifth stage. Under the pure brute force of Yang Shi, his head crushed into the floor. " Indeed, Guo Cheng. But a wise man should also remember the consequences of choosing the wrong side." Lu Xiao laughed.

*BAM*

" Impudence! You dare to come here and create ruckus?" Lord Chen shouted. " Lu Xiao, You could have escaped, but you barged into the gates of hell." Lord Chen laughed.

" Hmph, Let's see who is going to hell today." Lu Xiao sneered as he pulled out his sword. " Hmph, You are courting death!" Old Fu got up as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

" Crimson Jade Fist!" Lord Chen roared as his fist shone with a radiant red light. He threw a punch at Lu Xiao. Old Fu made a dozen of hand seals as it glowed with a brown light.

" Earth Capturing Hands." He slapped his arms on the floor. With a heavy tremor, two earthen palms merged from the ground to catch the feet of Yang Shi. Yang Shi sneered as he suddenly disappeared from his position. 

He encountered a similar tchnqiue when he went to assassinate Bai Xuan of Leaping Carp Town. He learned that we would able to counter such a technique if he doesn't stand in one place. Since the room has limited space, His Starlight Burst can overpower anyone in terms of instant speed.

Old Fu became startled as he saw yang Shi appeared in a different place. He chanted an incantation as the light on his palm became brighter.

" Earthen Spikes." Old Fu shouted as spikes made from earth erupted from the ground, Like a porcupine's spikes. Yang Shi lept from the ground as three spikes shot out from there. His eyes turned azure as he activated Celestial view. Everything became slow in his eyes. Yang Shi instantly saw the pattern of the spikes. He activated Starlight Burst again and dashed toward Old Fu.

" Starlight Haze!." Yang Shi unsheathed his longsword as he used the second stance of Sword Art of Stellar Night. His Longsword shone as it turned into many shadows. Old Fu hurried joined his palm as a wall emerged in front of Old Fu. Yang Shi smirked as rotated his sword as attacked the earthen wall.

*BOOM* Although it penetrated into the wall, it wasn't deep enough. Old Fu sighed a breath of relief, but suddenly his face turned ugly. He looked down and saw the Longsword pierced into his heart.

" Moonlight Slash." With a soft voice, The long sword cut down the left part of Old Fu's body. The moment Old Fu erected the wall to block his Starlight Haze, Yang Shi retracted most of his power as he condensed into the tip of the sword and performed Moonlight Slash. So that easily went through the wall.

*BANG* With a loud noise, Lord Chen fell back. Lu Xiao called his Nether Gale Panther spirit as h condensed energy into his sword.

"Nether Wind Sword Storm!" Lu Xiao roared. Black wind erupted from his sword as it charged at Lord Chen. Lord Chen hurriedly pulled out his scimitar. But Lu Xiao's attack was too fast to be evaded. Lord Chen's body became a dismembered corpse in an instant.

" Huff Huff." Lu Xiao was panting. He used is the ultimate ability twice today. " Brother Lu, Are you ok?" Yang Shi asked with concern. " No, I am fine." Lu Xiao nodded. Then they walked toward Guo Cheng. He was quietly lying on the ground.

" Since he was pretending to be dead, Why not make him a real corpse?" Yang Shi laughed. Guo Cheng's body quivered as he got up.

" Lord Lu, Please. Spare me! I...I was wrong. I can even tell you the plan of the Second Prince. Please, Don't kill me." Guo Chng kowtowed in front of Lu Xiao.

" Do we need that?" Lu Xiao asked Yang Shi with a smiling gaze. " Of course... NOT!" Yang Shi laughed. Hearing him, Guo Cheng's mind drowned in despair.

" NO-" Before he could even scream, his vision turned black.

" Hurry up, Brother Shadow. We have a long list of people." Lu Xiao said. Yang Shi laughed as he followed Lu Xiao. That night, silent killings happened all over Firmament City.
