Chapter 2009 Assassins


    Austin rendered himself invisible instantly, and also silenced his breath so that the five cultivators at the


    Major-perfection Realm couldn''t sense his presence at all.


    He himself, however, could clearly perceive them.


    ''How dare these losers try to take me on? The very idea is ridiculous!''


    Austin thought with a sneer.


    He hadn''t attacked instantly since he wanted to find out who these assassins were.


    Something seemed to be telling him that they hadn''t been sent by the powerful sects of the Middle


    Pilgrim Land. Those sects could have spared more powerful cultivators for the job.


    "Fuck this! What''s going on?


    Did that brat somehow find out we wereing and escaped? Loser!"


    "That is a possibility at the least. But I can sense that he was here only moments ago; he can''t have


    gotten far, can he?


    Let''s go catch him!"


    The five men split up and dashed out of the room.


    That was their second mistake. The first wasing after Austin.


    While they were searching for their target in different ces across town, Austin had also left the room


    and at the moment, with the Infernal Sword in his hand, he was gaining on one of assassins.


    It had been several years since he had started to cultivate the Infernal Scripture. Time and practice had


    allowed him to master all the skills one would need to assassinate someone.


    Under the cold moonlight, as the man looked around, a long, white sword suddenly popped out of thin


    air.


    It swiped at the man''s head.


    And the cultivator fell down immediately, blood gushing out of his neck.


    Fear was written all over his face, even in death.


    "Something is going on over there!"


    The other four assassins immediately sensed the precarious situation of theirpanion and rushed


    towards his location immediately.


    They were all at the age of around twenty-five.


    "Dammit! Must be the guy we are looking for!"


    "There he... Hell no! Eugene is dead!"


    The four men reached Austin''s location immediately and surrounded him.


    "Looking for me?"


    Austin sneered at the four men with a yful smile on his lips. The white Infernal Sword in his hand


    was now crimson and dripping with blood.


    "Brat, you killed Eugene, didn''t you?"


    one of the men shouted at Austin harshly.


    Though young, all four of these men were at the preliminary stage of Major-perfection Realm.


    In terms of cultivation base, they were evenly matched with Austin, so beating him together should be a


    piece of cake.


    "Yes, I killed him.


    Who the hell sent you here?


    Answer me, and you might live,"


    Austin tly replied.


    "You''re way too cocky, you bastard!


    Come on, guys. Let''s kill him together!"


    The four men exchanged a nce with each other and rushed towards their enemy.


    "Huh! You''re digging your own graves!" Austin rolled his eyes.


    Then, he raised his hand, and three beams of sword aura dashed towards the four cultivators, though


    even a single one of them was wide enough to take on two men at once. The strong power of five


    elements hit them.


    In a heartbeat, three of the cultivators were cut in half by the strong sword aura, with their blood and


    body parts sent flying across space.


    Only one man remained now.


    Appalled by the horrible scene, his teeth chattering now.


    He was as strong as his threepanions, but since they had been cut in half by Austin in an instant,


    he clearly didn''t stand a chance.


    He knew that the young man in front of him was too terrifying for him to handle.


    "Well, now can you tell me who sent you here?"


    Austin asked with a cold smile.


    "Please man, I''ll tell you anything. Just don''t kill me, okay? It wasn''t my idea. We were just following


    orders.


    Larry Yuwen from the Blue Dragon School wants you dead. We all are, were his followers. He sent us


    to kill you,"


    the man replied in a trembling voice.


    "Larry Yuwen from the Blue Dragon School ?"


    Austin was confused at the mention of the name.


    "Another thing though, chances are it was Belinda Shen''s idea. Mr. Yuwen has be quite close to


    her recently,"


    the man added.


    "That''s it!"


    Austin remembered the young man who was standing beside Belinda at the gate of the Blue Dragon


    School earlier that day.


    "I see,"


    Austin sneered, with a murderous look shing across his eyes.


    The very look was enough topletely terrify the man, who knelt down before Austin.


    "Don''t kill me. I was just doing my job..." he pleaded.


    With a cold smile, Austin kicked the man in his elixir field and broke itpletely.


    "Argh!"


    With a pained scream, the man fell down and passed out.


    His cultivation base waspletely destroyed now, and he would never be able to cultivate again in


    the future.


    Although the man had been doing his job, Austin wasn''t going to let him go so easily since the former


    had nned on taking his life. Austin had already shown him mercy enough by sparing his life.


    With onest, spiteful look at the cultivator, Austin returned to the inn.


    "Belinda Shen, you''ll soon be sorry for this,"


    he said coldly.


    ''Not only did she prevent me from entering the Blue Dragon School, but she also sent out assassins


    after me.


    I am not going to let her go now, '' he resolved.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    The next day, Austin changed himself into a brawny andmon-looking young man using the Aura


    Disguising Skill.


    After that, he came to the square in front of the Blue Dragon School.


    On reaching the ce, he saw that the square was full of young men and women, all eagerly looking at


    the gates of the school. Like him, they all wanted admission in there and would give anything for the


    same.


    At a rough estimate, there were easily about two thousand people in the square, and maybe more.


    Their cultivation base ranged from the Bitter Sea Realm to the Major-perfection Realm.


    ''Bloody hell! Thepetition in here is so fierce. I can''t believe that I have to end up like this:


    Austin thought to himself bitterly, huddling in the crowd.


    At the same time, people were admiring the ce. "Wow, look! There is so much spiritual energy inside


    the school. It looks like a paradise.


    If I could somehow get in, I could progress so much faster and not have to worry about blockheads."


    "You know what? I''ve heard that there are more than a dozen Spiritual Energy Gathering Arrays on the


    other side of those doors. That''s what makes the spiritual energy in there so dense.


    The school easily has a ten times denser spiritual energy than the outside world."


    "Is that so? Damn! What I wouldn''t give to be chosen as a follower..."


    People around Austin kept talking about the ce as if going there were their life''s goal.


    "I hope I get in and a girl in there chooses me.


    I''ve heard the girls in the Blue Dragon School are stunning.


    I mean, they are talented and pretty at the same time. If I can get a chance to cultivate with them, I will


    be the happiest man in the world!"


    a young man wished hopefully.


    "Hey, buddy, you''d better look in the mirror first.


    You''re going to scare the hell out of them with that face of yours!"


    another young manughed at him.


    "To hell with you and your ideas, Dumbo!


    Do you wanna go a couple of rounds right now?" the first one roared furiously, ring at the man who


    had teased him just now.


    His speckles had been troubling him for quite a while now, and this man making fun of him did not help.


    "Why haven''t those students turned up? I''ve been waiting for them for more than two hours now!"


    someoneined.


    The whole square of the Blue Dragon School looked like a fish market at the moment.
