15 Chapter 15: Night of Massacre!

.....

As the sun slowly set, the entire sky also turned dark.

Not even the moon or stars could be spotted tonight.

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!

The rumbling sounds of thunder echoed through the entire Spring River Town as the blinding lightning flashed from time to time.

Drip~! Drip~! Drip~!

Drizzling rain began to fall, then it got heavier and heavier until it turned into a rainstorm.

This was the time that Jing Weiyuan had been waiting for in these few days.

Under his signal, all of the assassins who were covered in black clothes from head to toe swiftly rushed toward the Lin Family's manor.

Of course, Jing Weiyuan himself would not make any move tonight since he was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Moreover, he could not make any move rashly or he would only become a burden since his congenital heart disease had gotten much worse recently.

Jing Weiyuan still stayed in Wang Family's mansion while waiting patiently for the good news from his subordinates.

Two Martial Master realm assassins, four Martial General realm assassins, ten Martial Commander realm assassins, and sixty Martial Warrior realm assassins...

Jing Weiyuan was 100% sure that this lineup should be more than enough to flatten the Lin Family tonight.

Let alone physician families like the Lin Family, that assassin lineup could even finish off any martial families like the Wang Family, but it would surely take longer time, and the difficulty would be much higher too.

Anyway, Jing Weiyuan would never look down on the Lin Family just because they were a physician family.

As the most famous physician family in the Dajing Dynasty, many martial experts were actually indebted to the Lin Family, so once he failed to do it this time, it would surely become much harder if he wanted to do it again next time.

Even now, there should be many indebted martial experts who repaid the Lin Family by guarding their manor.

Of course, Jing Weiyuan had already sent many people to investigate the Lin Family's manor in a few days, and he already made sure that these martial experts who guard the Lin Family's manor were far from being matched to the assassin lineup he sent tonight.

More than seventy assassins clad in black clothes moved very swiftly as they sneaked into the Lin Family's manor.

PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!

Several gatekeepers were guarding the the manor's front gate, but before they had any time to react, those assassins already beheaded them in one clean move.

More than seventy assassins glanced at each other and nodded, then they hastily spread out and besieged the Lin Family's manor from all directions.

However, those seventy assassins failed to notice that their action had actually been seen by the invisible [2nd Tier Shadow Guard] that An Yue sent to watch over the Lin Family's manor.

That invisible [2nd Tier Shadow Guard] quickly sent a secret signal to all of its comrades while keeping a close eye on those assassins' every move.

All [2nd Tier Shadow Guards] near Lin Family's manor immediately entered the alert state, and one of them swiftly rushed back to Wang Family's mansion to inform An Yue and Ling Yuyan about this.

The coordination and cooperation of these [2nd Tier Shadow Guards] were extremely perfect as if they were one entity.

They could also work 24 hours a day without any need to rest, drink, or eat. Their every work was also fast and efficient. They would also never complain, get tired, or sick because of overwork like humans.

There was no doubt that these shadow guards were the most perfect subordinates! Even working robots still need regular maintenance, but these shadow guards did not need it at all.

Moreover, these shadow guards were completely fearless of anything as if they were devoid of any emotion and only loyalty to An Yue and Ling Yuyan carved in their minds.

Watching the cruel massacre right in front of their eyes did not make them fearful or hesitant, they only dutifully carried out the task An Yue had given to them. 

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!

The ear-deafening sound of thunder resounded again and again.

When the blinding lightning flashed in the sky, some patrolling guards spotted a few assassins in black clothes charging swiftly toward them!

Those patrolling guards quickly unsheathed their weapons to fight against those assassins, but their strength was obviously far from being comparable to those assassins.

PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!

Those patrolling guards held their bloody necks and fell weakly onto the ground before they could even do anything, and their eyes were still opened wide as if they could not believe that they had already died.

Blood flowed down like a river as those assassins kept killing everyone they met whether it was guards, butlers, servants, or maids.

But the heavy rain storm immediately washed all the blood and traces.

The assassins stored the dead bodies of everyone they had killed into their spatial treasures in order not to leave any evidence or traces behind, then they would dispose of them cleanly using their methods somewhere else later.

The Martial Master realm bodyguard from the Lin Family's side noticed something was wrong with his keen sixth sense. He immediately woke up the Lin Family's patriarch who was still sleeping beside his wife and warned him about the incoming danger.

As the one with the highest medical skill in the entire Lin Family, the Lin Family's patriarch has an extremely sharp sense of smell that he could even guess any herbs with his eyes closed.

Lin Family's patriarch could smell the faint smell of blood from all directions with his extremely sharp sense of smell even when there was a heavy rainstorm outside.

Lin Family's patriarch also realized that the one who died was not only two or three people, but so many of them since the smell of blood came from all directions.

Even now, the smell of blood only got stronger and stronger as if it was coming closer toward him and his family!

It meant the killers were currently heading toward him and his family while killing everyone on their way!

Lin Family's patriarch quickly woke up his wife and his two children.

"Husband, what happens? Why do you wake us up in the middle of midnight?" Patriarch's wife asked while rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Lin Ming Tian and his little sister also stared at Lin Family's patriarch with questioning eyes.

Lin Family's patriarch did not bother to look for any excuse and decided to tell them the truth: "Someone sent a lot of assassins here to kill me. Pack up your most important things quickly, and I will bring you to escape from the hidden underground passage."

The patriarch's wife, Lin Ming Tian, and his little sister instantly fell into panic and fear, but they quickly went back to their own respective room to pack up their things such as a few pieces of clothes, money, ration, some medicines, and so on.

They were in an emergency situation and did not have much time since those assassins could come here at any time, they could only throw everything into their spatial treasures in a hurry and quickly followed the Lin Family Patriarch's lead.

The entrance of the hidden underground passage was actually inside the warehouse to store medicine ingredients.

Lin Family's Patriarch pushed one of the medicine shelves and activated several hidden mechanisms to open the entrance of the hidden underground passage.

The patriarch's wife, Lin Ming Tian, and his little sister hastily entered the hidden underground passage under the Lin Family Patriarch's urge.

Lin Family's Patriarch also pushed a bundle of books to Lin Ming Tian before he entered the hidden underground passage.

"Father, what is this?" Lin Ming Tian asked curiously.

"That is Lin Family's entire inheritance. Tian'er, you are Lin Family's only successor, so I can only count on you to protect your mother, your little sister, and our Lin Family's inheritance from now on." Lin Family's Patriarch said to Lin Ming Tian with a gentle expression on his masculine face.

"Father, what do you mean? How can you say that?! You are still..." Before Lin Ming Tian could finish his words, Lin Family's Patriarch already closed the entrance of the hidden underground passage.

So, only the patriarch's wife, Lin Ming Tian, and his little sister were inside the hidden underground passage, while the Lin Family's Patriarch was still in the medicine warehouse.

"Husband~!"

"Father~!"

"Daddy~!"

The patriarch's wife, Lin Ming Tian, and his little sister shouted and cried as they tried to push open the entrance of the hidden underground passage.

But the entrance of the hidden underground passage was made from special metal, so they were extremely sturdy. Even a Martial Master realm expert would need five minutes or so to destroy it.

"Go away! Their target is either me or my [Life Seal Condensing Method]. If I follow you all and run away from here. They would surely chase after us and kill all of us later. Only if I stay here will all of you have a chance to survive." The Lin Family's Patriarch shouted from behind the closed entrance of the hidden underground passage.

The Lin Family's Patriarch also had the urge to cry, but he was the backbone of the entire Lin Family, so how could he cry at a time like this?!

Lin Ming Tian gnashed his teeth as he shouted: "Please hold on for a little bit longer, Father! We will head to Wang Family and ask for their help as soon as possible!"

Then Lin Ming Tian hastily led his mother and little sister to head toward the hidden passage's exit.

His mind was completely occupied with the urgency to ask for Wang Family's help before those assassins could touch his father.

He did not even realize that his action actually brought his mother and little sister closer to their demise instead.
