Chapter 72: Catch All in One Go
Chapter 72: Catch All in One Go
Somewhere in Yan Capital, in a new stronghold of the Blood Moon Pavilion.
The person in charge here was named Wang Man, dressed in brocade clothes, long beard, and looked like an elegant scholar.
He sat in front of a chessboard, playing against himself.
At this second, a subordinate came to report, "Hall Master, the news that just came, our original strongholds have been destroyed by Lin Wuji, and those who stayed behind were killed."
"Oh?"
Wang Man slowly raised his head, but he didn't seem to be particularly surprised. He just asked, "Where is Lin Wuji?"
"I don't know, our people followed, but there was no news. Probably they were exposed," the subordinate replied.
"It seems that that guy is also quite vigilant."
Wang Man stroked his beard, stood up from his seat, and immediately gave an order, "It is not our Blood Moon Pavilion style to let the others beat us without retaliation. So let's gather everyone here!"
"Yes," the subordinate went away.
Nearby, a man wearing a scarlet mask put his hands on his chest, and suddenly said, "If he can find our former stronghold, can he also find this place?"
"Do you think it is possible?"
Wang Man glanced at the masked-man, "Our former stronghold is still hidden from ordinary people, but there is no concealment for the slightly powerful people. Even if the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce people have no business dealings with us, it is still not difficult to find out our original stronghold."
After a pause, he continued, "Now that our new stronghold is unknown to anyone except the Pavilion Master, even the people in the other halls have no way of knowing, let alone the people from the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce. So do you think that guy can still find us?"
"According to what you said, indeed, there should be no problem," the masked-man nodded.
With the effort of speaking, all the killers in this stronghold had gathered together.
Wang Man glanced at the people and said, "That Lin Wuji of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce is very arrogant. He doesn't put our Blood Moon Pavilion in his eyes at all. Let's discard all the nonsenses. All of you divide yourselves to hunt down the members of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce. If you see one, kill one, see ten kill ten. We must let them know that our Blood Moon Pavilion is not so easy!"
All the killers present would not be enthusiastic for a few words, but silently nod their heads, ready to go to perform their respective tasks.
However, the next moment, a loud eruption outburst, the door was torn apart, and two figures appeared in the sight of everyone, it was Mo Xiu and Yan Ran.
The moment they saw Mo Xiu and Yan Ran, everyone was shocked. Even if they hadn't been in close contact with Mo Xiu, at least most of them had seen Mo Xiu's portrait.
The enemy of their Blood Moon Pavilion, this extremely arrogant fellow, actually came to the door?
Not to mention where his courage came from, how did this guy find this place?
Despite his doubts, Wang Man quickly reacted and said with a sneer, "Lin Wuji, since you dare to come, then die!"
Although a stronghold in the Blood Moon Pavilion was destroyed by Mo Xiu, he didn't take it seriously. On the one hand, he didn't know much about Mo Xiu at that time. On the other hand, many elites in that stronghold went out to do their mission, there was a lot of lack of combat power, and plus the fact that there seemed to be a sneak attack at the time, it was not unusual for that stronghold to be destroyed.
Now, he had enough knowledge about Mo Xiu, and Mo Xiu had not launched a sneak attack on them. He had come to the door openly but there were many elite assassins here, so how could this Mo Xiu survive?
As for Yan Ran, who came with Mo Xiu, he didn't take it seriously. She would only be a burden for Mo Xiu. As long as he could kill Mo Xiu, he would be able to kill Yan Ran with his hands.
Mo Xiu looked around, his gaze fell on Wang Man, and slowly said, "I'm not here to send you to death, but to send you to hell!"
As soon as this declaration fell, a sword light flashed as the Abyss Demon Sword curled up a wind and stabbed Wang Man with endless killing intent.
Wang Man's figure was instantly locked, his whole True Energy seemed to have been sucked out, unable to move, and this terrifying killing intent gave him a feeling of being enveloped by 'death' itself.
His pupils gradually enlarged, seeing that he was about to die on the Abyss Demon Sword, a figure appeared in front of him timely.
"Good job, I'm just trying to learn your strength."
The man who came forward was the man wearing the scarlet mask, one of the twelve Blood Moons in the Blood Moon Pavilion.
While blocking in front of Wang Man's body, he raised his hand and a sword appeared in his hand. The True Energy was injected into it, the sword light was released, and he swung the sword towards the Abyss Demon Sword.
With a sound of "clank", the two swords collided together, but in the blink of an eye, the sword in the mask man's hand shattered every inch.
"How... how is it possible!"
The masked man was shocked, feeling unbelievable.
His sword was a Magic Weapon, and it was also a superior Magic Weapon. Even if it was facing an Artifact, it would be at best slightly inferior in power, and it would not be broken.
What kind of weapon was that in his opponent's hand? Why could it easily destroy his magic sword?
Before he could figure out the situation, the sword in his hand had turned into a pile of fragments and scattered on the ground, but the Abyss Demon Sword broke through his defense unabated and pierced his body.
"Poof"
Blood burst out, and the masked-man opened his eyes wide, feeling too unexpected.
Wang Man was also surprised, but he was saved by the masked-man so he temporarily regained his mobility.
"Come together, be sure to kill this dog!"
Wang Man roared, but he quickly backed away, far away from Mo Xiu.
On the contrary, the assassins around seemed to be unaware of fear, so they accepted the order and quickly swung their weapons towards Mo Xiu and Yan Ran.
At this moment, behind Mo Xiu, dark shadows emerged from his shadow.
A total of eight black shadows guarded Mo Xiu and Yan Ran, and all the killers rushing towards the two were easily blocked by those black shadows.
Not only that, but these shadows seemed to have an extremely terrifying strength, as long as one of them shot it, they would surely be able to kill two or three Blood Moon Pavilion's assassins.
"What the hell?" Wang Man's face changed.
Originally, he thought that Mo Xiu and Yan Ran had only two people. No matter how strong they were, their strength would be limited. Even if they used the crowded tactics and attacked in turn, how could he kill them?
But now he discovered that it didn't seem to be the same thing.
Not to mention killing Mo Xiu and Yan Ran, those assassins could not even go close to them.
It was not that no one has tried to use hidden weapons, but they were still easily blocked by those shadows and could not penetrate the shadows' defenses. Not to mention hurting Mo Xiu and Yan Ran.
"Poof, poof"
Blood spilled as countless Blood Moon Pavilion's assassins fell to the ground.
Wang Man's scalp numb for a while after he saw it, and gradually realized that something was wrong. He no longer had the thought to wait and see. He bypassed Mo Xiu and Yan Ran and ran towards the gate.
As he arrived at the gate, he felt that he could escape, so he was a little relieved.
But soon, an invisible barrier stopped him.
"A trapping array!" Wang Man was stunned.
The next moment, the Abyss Demon Sword whizzed from behind, piercing his body in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, the sound of fighting ceased, and blood flowed from the ground around him.
Seeing that all the people in this stronghold were cleaned up, Mo Xiu waved his hand, and the eight shadow demon guards swept into the shadow behind him.
After that, he stepped to Wang Man's corpse, took out the Shadow Soul Orb, and sucked Wang Man's soul in.
But soon, he released Wang Man's soul again, grasping Wang Man's soul to perform the Soul Search secret technique, and finally, another flame burned that soul to nothingness.
The Soul Search technique was naturally not to confirm the location of the entrance to the main hall of the Blood Moon Pavilion, but to see if there was any killer sent by Wang Man to perform the assassination mission.
This time, since he made a move, he must make sure that one move must be able to uproot the entire Blood Moon Pavilion and wipe it all at once. He would not let any Blood Moon Pavilion's killer go.
After all, the Blood Moon Pavilion was a killer organization, not an ordinary family, nor a sect in the cultivation world. If he couldn't catch it all in one go, it might be troublesome in the future.
After performing the Soul Search technique and confirming that killers had been sent out to carry out the assassination mission, Mo Xiu spread his Divine Consciousness and searched in Yan Capital.
...
All over Yan Capital, the Blood Moon Pavilion killers who were performing assassination missions were looking for the best chance to kill their targets.
But invisibly, an unparalleled oppressive pressure fell.
Before they could even feel terrified, there was a sudden sting in their heads, and then there was a bang as if something was breaking inside their bodies.
The sky and the earth rolled in their eyes, the assassins slowly fell to the ground, it was unknown what happened to them or if they died or not.
This day seemed to be the end for Blood Moon Pavilion.
Not only the killer of the Blood Moon Pavilion who went out to perform the task died inexplicably, the other seven new strongholds of the Blood Moon Pavilion were also annihilated one by one by Mo Xiu.
All the Blood Moon Pavilion killers in each stronghold, including the Hall Master of each stronghold, the killers in the twelve Blood Moons, and the so-called Blood Shadow Guards, were killed by Mo Xiu, and none of them escaped.
In the entire Yan Capital, the underground world was full of bloodshed.
Before the news spread, Mo Xiu had already brought Yan Ran to the main hall of the Blood Moon Pavilion.
This was a tall mansion. The guards were very strict. There were people watching at the gate of the mansion. Both guards were wearing armor and helmets, and with a big sword at their waists each, they looked spirited and meticulous.
On the plaque of the mansion were three big characters with the carvings of dragons flying and phoenix dancing "King Jing Mansion".
"There is also a stronghold of Blood Moon Pavilion here?" Yan Ran frowned.
"Not a stronghold, this is the entrance to the headquarter of the Blood Moon Pavilion," Mo Xiu explained.
"Do you mean that King Jing is the head of the Blood Moon Pavilion?" Yan Ran was very surprised, "but how is this possible?"
