Gate of Immortality

Chapter 68: The Night of Terror

" What? Corpses discovered on the town gates? Who is so Bold to kill the town guards?" One of the Mei clan elders shouted.

"It's true. Elder. There were three bodies. A guard's skull crushed by brute force. Another one beheaded with one slash. The last one's heart pierced by a sharp weapon." The soldier bowed and said.

" Such brutality! Could it be some Demonic cultivator has entered the city?" An Elder muttered.

" Spread the guards. If anyone looks suspicious, Arrest him. And, Inform The town magistrate." The Elder coldly shouted.

" Yes, Elder." The guard bowed and left.

" Brother An, Let's see, Who can drink more." A young man raised a wine cup to another one.

" Aha, Brother Jian really brought some good wine. Cheers on destroying the Bai Clan." Another young man raised his cup.

" Damn, Some girls escaped, Otherwise we could have enjoyed them. Tch." One said.

" Oh, It seems, you guys know some stuff. I don't have to wait then." Two of them started by the voice.

" Who-" Before they could draw out their weapons, They froze. Suddenly, A black clothed person appeared from nowhere and sat beside them.

" Hmm, Quite ordinary wine. Now now, I will ask one question. Who was actively involved in Bai Clan's annihilation? Who raped Bai Ruxue's aunt and killed his mother?" The black clad figuer asked.

" Who are you? You dare to trespass in Mei Clan?" One of the two shouted.

" Wrong answer." The black clad man gulped down a glass. The young man Who refused to talk felt a sharp pain in his neck.

The second young man looked at the black clad figure with horror. There was a thin red line streaked across on the first young man's neck. The line widened as blood gushed out from it.

" I think I don't need to repeat. Do I?" The black clothed figure wore a mask of a demon. When he gazed at the second young man, He felt like he has fallen in an icy pit.

" I-I...It is the Patriarch, first elder, and The Grand elder. The Grand Elder was injured by the Bai clan's patriarch, so he is in the midst of treatment. This is all I know. Please spare me. I WON'T TELL ANYONE." The young man begged.

" I know. Of course, You will never say anything." The black clothed figure laughed.

" Thank you, Thank you very mu..." The young man thanked but stopped in midway. His body trembled as he understood the meaning behind the sentence - You will never say anything." Before he could scream, His eyes blacked out.

Yang Shi wiped the blood from his saber. " Hmm? What's This?" Yang Shi exclaimed. He saw the gem embedded on the saber hilt had turned redder by three shades.

" Why is it turning red? Wait, Could it be..." Yang Shi thought something amazing. " The gem will continue to be red as long as the saber drinks blood. The more this saber slaughters, The more powerful it will be. What a treasure!" Yang Shi thought.

" It might be just a hypothesis. Hmm, Since I am in the Mei clan, Why Don't I do a little experiment?" Yang Shi smirked as he vanished into the darkness.

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

That night, a ghastly figure roamed in the house of the Mei clan. The patrolling guard felt something was wrong. When they checked, They couldn't help but drop on their knees.

" A-ALARM, HURRY, AND ALRM PATRIARCH!!!" The guard shrieked. In front of them are nothing but piles of dead bodies. The floors and walls are already dyed with blood.

" WHAT? AN INTRUDER IS MASSACRING OUR CLAN?" The face of Mei clan's patriarch changed greatly. " You damnable fools, a killer is killing our people, and you can't even sense it?" One of the elders roared.

" First elder, Fifth Elder, please find that person and bring him here. He will see, What's worse than death." The Patriarch coldly said.

" Why trouble so much? Well, here I am." The people in the hall started by the sudden voice.

All the Elders were in a hall, Where they were discussing Bai Ruxue's matter. Mei Clan's elite force guard the hall. Without permission, No one could trespass.

But all the elders were astonished to see the black-clothed figure entering the hall. One of the elders peeked outside But saw nothing more than splattered blood.

" What audacity! You dare to kill people from our clan!" An elder roared.

Yang Shi scratched his ears, and said, " Who is the Patriarch, The First elder, and The Grand elder?" Seeing the attitude of Yang Shi, The elders became furious.

" You have guts, kid. You even dar-" Before an elder could say anything, Yang Shi vanished from his spot and appeared beside the elder. His saber flashed, and one of the Mei clan elder's body split in half.

" WHAT?!!!" The remaining Elders couldn't help but gasp. They couldn't see the movement of Yang Shi.

" I am asking again. Besides these three peoples, Everyone stands up. I will count to the five." Yang Shi said while rotating his saber.

Everyone felt a spine tingling chill. They couldn't gauge the power of this mysterious black clothed person. There were twelve people in the hall, But now, Ony eleven remained.

" One...Two...Three." Yang Shi began to count. " We have enough. Let's kill that brat." The all the elders charged at Yang Shi at the same time.

" It seems, You all chosen death." Yang Shi's smile became wide. He looked at the incoming horde of people. He lifted his saber and a terrifying aura burst from his body.

Those, Who were rushing towards Yang Shi, froze in midway. They felt a large pair of golden eyes of an

ancient beast is staring at them, Ready for drinking their blood. They felt an oppressing aura from Yang Shi. Their primitive sense was urging only one word - RUN.

Alas, Before they could do anything, Yang Shi already started his slaughter. " Ahahahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Yang Shi laughed like a crazed person. His body shook, and saber cleaved.

There was only one word ringing in Yang Shi's mind, " KILL." he felt a strange kind of joy while he was killing. He felt he is the embodiment of a demon.

All the elders pounced on Yang Shi. Various techniques and weapons rained on him, But Yang Shi felt nothing. He charged forward and used " Flashing Lightning." His saber blurred and chopped down the elders. Most of Mei Clan's elders were between The first and third stages of The Primordial Spirit Realm, So Yang Shi chused them like weeds.

From eleven, The numbers decreased to six. Yang Shi entered in a demonic mode. He didn't notice that a faint red glow on his saber.

" He is the First Elder. He is the one. And the white beard old man is the Grand Elder. Please spare me now. I have told you everything. Pleas-" One of the elder kowtowed before Yang Shi, But soon, His skull was crushed, by Yang Shi's stomp.

" So, Its You." Yang Shi looked at The First Elder.

" Don't. Don't come to me. PATRIARCH. SAVE ME ARRRGH..." The First Elder screamed as Yang Shi cut his right leg. He stumbled down to the floor, bleeding heavily. The Grand Elder of the Mei clan was already killed by Yang Shi. Yang Shi couldn't help but curse.

" Damn, Only if I knew before." Yang Shi sighed.

" Now lay down for a while. I will go and find the remaining one." Yang Shi said to the First Elder as he looked ahead. The so-called patriarch has escaped from the scene.

Yang Shi looked around and started to sniff.

" I know, Where you went." Yang Shi laughed as he dashed.

" I need to escape. He is a demon." The patriarch was running crazily for his life. He knew once the Black clothed figure caught him, It will be over for Mei Clan.

While he was running, a black-clothed man appeared in front of him and said, " BOO."

The patriarch's face paled as his hair stood on its end. He jumped and tried to change his path. Unfortunately, Like lightning from the blue, a dagger pierced his thigh. He fell down. Yang Shi rolled him and dropped his saber on his abdomen, destroying his Dantian.

" NOOOOO." He screamed like a pig being butchered, as Yang Shi dragged him by clutching his hair. The patriarch was crippled by Yang Shi.

That night, Not even a dog was spared from this massacre. The Mei clan was razed to blood.

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

" Finally, all the betrothal gifts are prepared." Yang Shi dusted his robe. He saw a pond in Mei Clan's courtyard. He took off his robe and jumped in it.
