Gate of Immortality

Chapter 116: Deceiving Them all

He actually made his appearance the same as he looked back on Earth. After he finished the Skin Tempering stage, His appearance of Long Xuan changed into a whole different person. Now, He neither looked Long Xuan nor looked Like Yang Shi of earth. " Hah, Who will recognize me here?" YANG sHI smugly said.

" You really have a bag of underhanded tricks. I didn't know that one can change appearance in this way?" The golden egg spoke. " An assassin needs to master both arts of killing and hiding." Yang Shi smiled faintly. He quickly put his Heaven Calamity saber in the spatial ring and pulled out his long sword." Tsk tsk, Time to slaughter those innocent lambs." Yang Shi laughed sinisterly as he disappeared into the darkness.

...........................................

" Don't you think Eastern Mountain has become quiet lately?" There are five young men in the group. All of them sat around the bonfire as they were chatting. " Hmm, a Few days ago, I heard the sound of fighting. I think it should be two Demonic Beast were fighting." Another one said.

" Indeed, there is too less amount of a beast on these days. As if they went to hiding." Someone said. " Enough, We don't have the time to check these things. In five days, We will go back to the Sect and give the Bloodfire Fruits to Senior Brother Zhang. The sooner, the better." The leader suddenly said. But as he was speaking, he suddenly heard some rustling noise.

" Huh? Who is there?!" The group leader drew his sword as he shouted. The others also became vigilant as they took out their weapon. They looked around with serious faces.

" Kek, Your perception is pretty good." A cold laugh resounded in the dark as a black-cloaked figure appeared from the bush. He wore a bronze demon mask, which looked very scary in darkness. He also had a longsword on his waist.

" Who are you? Why did you come here?" One of the Golden Sun Sect's disciples shouted. " Hehe, Why don't you ask King Yama in hell?" The black-cloaked figure snickered as he charged at the group.

" Hah, Courting death!" [Tbh, I was waiting to write this iconic phrase XD] One disciple sneered as he also jumped forward to attack. The black-cloaked figure sheathed his longsword.

" KATCHHA" With the sound of the sword drawing, a light escaped from the Black cloaked man's sword. The disciple, who was coming to attack, suddenly halted. Blood sprayed from his throat as he collapsed midway. " First move: Fleeting Light." The black-clothed person murmured.

" Yo-You dare to kill him. Do you know who we are? We are Inner disciples of the Golden Sun Sect." One of the disciples roared. The black-clothed figure laughed. " I, Evil Shadow fear none under the heaven, Not to mention Golden Sun Sect. I feel extreme delight from killing the sects disciple." The black-clothed figure sneered.

" You are Evil Shadow? Hahaha, Great. You dared to kill Brother Tang Zheng and loot out the sect's resources! Brothers! Let's kill this bastard and take the two million golden coin bounty!" The group leader roared as he charged at Evil Shadow.

" Sword of Scorching Sun!" The leader roared as he pulled out his spirit rank sword. The sword glowed with a red light as it slashed as Yang Shi. Yang Shi sneered as he blocked the sword attack.

" CLANG CLANG CLANG!." Swords collided as both of them fought fiercely or should say, only the group leader fought fiercely. Yang Shi was wielding his sword one-handedly. He was having a pretty easy time against the group leader.

Although both of their cultivation is at the sixth stage, For Yang Shi, crushing him is like crushing an ant. But he suppressed his power to continue his little act. As they are fighting, The group leader suddenly made an upward slash. Evil Shadow was surprised as he tried to dodge the attack. But the sword struck his bronze mask as it split the mask into two.

As the bronze pieces fell down, It revealed the face of a young man. He appeared to be a youth in his twenties. His face wasn't any special, it's just like one of the ordinary faces you found in daily life. To think a person with such an ordinary face could be a renowned killer.

" Pah, To think the infamous Evil Shadow has such an ordinary face." The group leader said with some disdain. The face of the Evil Shadow became cold as he began to laugh. " Ha...Hahahahah. Good, Very good. Since you all have seen my appearance, You all have to die." Evil Shadow said with a sinister voice.

" Hah, As if you have power. Brother, come and finish this bastard." The group leader roared. " KILL!" The other four roared as they attacked Evil Shadow in the group. A faint grin appeared on the mouth of Evil Shadow as held his sword vertically.

" Starlight Haze." The longsword of Evil Shadow emanated a pale silvery light as it became hazy.

" SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH." The longsword made a dozen of slash in one swing. None of the disciples could see the movement of the sword. But a moment later. They cried out of extreme pain.

" Ahh."

" NOOO."

Miserable screams rang across the forest as four of them fell down. Their bodies are dismembered. But strangely, their body was cut cleanly, as a hot knife cut through butter.

The group leader was shivering nonstop. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. He never saw such a bloodbath in his life. He felt his body was becoming limp.

" Well, How should I deal with you? Hmm, I am not a bad person so I will give you a quick death." The Evil Shadow smiled as he raised his sword.

" Nooo, Big brother. It was my mistake. Please, don't kill me. I...I will give you the Bloodfire fruits. Please, Don't kill me." The group leader fell on his knees as he begged the Evil Shadow.

" Well, If I kill you, won't I get the Bloodfire Fruits? What is the reason for keeping you alive? Moreover, You have seen my appearance. I can't let you go." Evil Shadow smiled as he slashed down his sword.

The moment it touched the body of the remaining disciple of the Golden Sun Sect, an explosion happened in the direction behind Evil Shadow.

Blood splashed as the group leader fell down.

" Fuck, It seems he caught up to me. I need to leave quickly." The Evil Shadow raged as he dashed off to the distance. After he left the place, The group leader opened his eyes as he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

" Huh? I am alive? Yes, The explosion earlier must have distracted the Evil Shadow, So his slash missed my heart by an inch. But even that is, I need to eat a healing pill." His mind quickly ran as he checked his storage pouch. 

" Haha, I don't have any healing pills. I guess it was on the pouch of the second bro. Fuck, It seems I am destined to die here." The group leader smiled bitterly as a wave of dizziness assaulted his head.

As he was on the verge of losing his consciousness, he felt someone is approaching. However, his vision blacked out after that. A person came there, fed the group leader two pills, and picked up all of their storage pouches. After checking them, He took out a red-colored incense stick from it. He lit it at some distance and went away.
