This clumsy assassin can’t even make a sneak attack

Shi was thinking about Evil Cloud movements, it looked too dramatic, then he remembered Cuifen pinky fiery bewitching bones and an understanding light passed through his eyes.

As Shi was thinking about the actual situation the young slug saw he wasn't paying attention and a cruel smirk born on his face, he shot a needle at Shi, who by reflex evaded it then he took a look at the young man.

"You had your chance, I will just find another one to give me the answers" Shi shot a throwing knife at the young man's head, the little blade shined on a sky-blue light and killed him instantaneously.

Seeing the hole in the enemy head Shi took a look at the surroundings, his left hand was hurting like hell, every time he felt the wind on his left hand it made him twitch his eyebrow in pain.

Catching all the loot he didn't even look at it, just put their weapons and rings inside the free space ring, by the information he had, Long Shin told that they probably made a big encirclement putting the stronger disciples near where they think Yu Cuifen was.

So he lifted the orange lamp and made some strokes in the crude map he was making, then he put his index finger on the dry bamboo paper and started to think about the encirclement and how he could find her.

He didn't need a big reason to save her, even if they didn't have any real friendship 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' was enough for him, besides, he already helped disciples from her sect sometimes, so it was just doing it again.

Stopping his reasoning he destroyed the orange lamp and started to walk into the dark forest again.

-

The full moon was still shining in the sky, it was between 3 and 4 in the morning, Cuifen in a branch below the crown of a giant tree.

She was seated in a lotus pose, her robe was completely destroyed so she put on a new full black one, she was trying to fill her dantian as fast as she could. She already fought 9 teams, she killed two more full teams and the others she just ran away.

Her body was so tired she could barely move, her chest moving in a slow manner, the spirit qi was entering by the nose and exiting by the mouth, a very faint pinky glint was rising inside her dantian.

From time to time she took a tiny piece of the already small paste on the bamboo package putting it on her mouth and let the energy permeate her body her tiredness would go away little by little, she didn't know how much she killed or if she was really going to fall in their hands, but she would never surrender to them.

-

"BANG" a vase found the wall and exploded into multiple pieces.

"CAN ANY OF YOU TELL ME HOW YOU CAN'T EVEN FOUND A GOD DAMN WOMAN WITH 200 PEOPLE?" A high shriek coming from the slim body of Young Master Yun permeates the night.

Young Master Yun was seated in his stone throne looking at the young man in core disciple clothes kneeling on the floor, he was in pure madness, it was almost half a day since Cuifen left the sect, but his incompetent subordinates couldn't find her, he lost already at least 25 teams on the hand of the Lotus Blossom Sect and Cuifen.

"Sigh" he blew a lot of air in a rage then asked "And about that Shi guy any notice?" organizing his white robes he took a look at the full moon and narrowed his eyes, if he was in the forest right now, he probably also killed some teams.

He didn't know why but every time he thought about this man he felt a slight discomfort in his heart.

"Call Zhong Yong and the other 4, we are going to enter the neutral zone in one hour, for some reason I don't feel right about this, maybe it's better for me to take control by myself" Young Master Yun said, leaving the other core disciple alone in the assembly room, he was going to prepare himself for the hunt.

-

Shi was flying through the branches at a high speed, every time he saw a lantern he would stop, analyze the entire situation and take the best course of action he could, the first two times it was poorly executed, on the third time he could do better and in the fourth time, he could kill them without a scratch.

It was already 4 hours since he entered the forest, and he didn't find any team from the blossom sect, but since he kept seeing enemies, he knew everything was not lost yet.

He was looking right and left when he suddenly heard a metal clunking noise, he shot himself in that direction and soon he found two groups fighting one group was made by two men and two women, using a dark and red outfit, the other group was entirely made by man, those for man are all core disciples at the 4th layer.

"Come on brothers, don't you guys want to taste those women too? Last time the Young Master was really mad at us so we didn't have the chance to touch any women, but this time since we are going to catch that hot bitch we will have a party" Said one of the core disciples, he was carrying the lamp which had a very low light.

Shi was about to fight the group from the Evil Cloud, but he heard his father saying "Wait! Let's wait for those two boys from the hot gorilla sect show their true faces, then we can play the hero saving the beauty" which made Shi roll his eyes answering "Old man do you think we have time? this is just the first team completely made from core disciples I saw in the last 4 hours"

Then he looked at the expression on the two young men, it was like his father said, they are speaking with their eyes, like trying to found for the other determination, Long Shin then said "See their eyes, it happens all the time, the world isn't a good place, but no matter how much I tell you, it's better to see each your own eyes".

"HOW CAN YOU TWO BELIEVE THOSE TRASH WORDS, I knew it, I knew, I should not come in the same group as you Chong if wasn't for your really insistent charges in courting me all those years I wouldn't ever come with you, glad I didn't do anything with a trash like you!" One of the women started to curse at one of the young men.

Her voice was like a sweet juice, even in the beginning when she was shouting it wasn't that bad to hear, Shi could understand why the young man was courting her for all this time even if he didn't took a look at her.

At this time Shi was stepping down from the tree and almost fall with his butt on the floor, the woman was really cruel, but she was also dumb, it wasn't a time for her to curse at him, it was the time to use her charm to lure him.

Soon enough the guy's face started to become dark, he took a look at his brother and with a nod there starting to walk in their directions.

Shi was moving behind the trees looking at the floor, but his focus was also at the four cores disciples from the Evil Cloud, those bastards are just watching as the disciples from the Lotus Blossom the one at the right side from the lantern said "I heard even senior Linghu from the five storm clouds come for the hunt, maybe he wants to take a piece of that moon woman tofu before Young Master" they all laughed.

It made Shi stop, the only moon woman that came to his head was Yue, even if they aren't on good terms he still thinks highly of her, that brave presence fighting a man naked without shying.

If Yue knew about the way Shi saw her she would probably cough out blood, it makes not her look like some kind of heroine but also like he wasn't the reason why she was fighting naked.

Shi stopped behind those four guys, the last guy in the rhombus formation wasn't paying attention to the forest anymore, seeing the disciples from the same sect betraying one another was way funnier than keeping guard.

"Do you see this? Not only you could see those two guys' real faces but also you are at their blind spot right now" Long Shin didn't forget to show his narcissism.

Smiling at his father's words Shi prepared himself for the assault, he knew by his last experiences that they would react from sight, so he shot two cutlasses at the sky with not that much strength, and then really fast he shot four knives at the back of their chest.

He also shot himself at them, not letting the knives found their target before him.

Hearing the running noise all looked at their backs seeing those knives coming at them they only let out a sneer before defending it with their weapons.

"HA! look at this clumsy assassin he can't even make a sneak attack" but before his brothers could also laugh the cutlasses fell from the sky, killing one on the spot and cutting the left shoulder of another.

Shi didn't let that guy catch his breath and started to throw knives at him in the middle of his running, when he got at a melee range, he started circulating his spirit steps but this time he didn't want to run, he used it inversely and put on his spirit sword.

Making a really fast chain thrust, the tip of his sky-blue shining sword found the young man's body.
