Chapter 439: Chapter 245: A Sword to Restrain Killing - Rakshasa, Luo Xinfu_2
[You scan the room, your eyes brighten at the sight of the two maids on the bed.]
[You clear your throat, hinting to the vice palace leader about the long night ahead. With no intention of sleeping, why don’t the two of you stay here, raise a glass to the moon, and discuss the philosophies of life together? The idea is undeniably appealing.]
[Upon hearing this, the usually smiling vice-palace leader’s face darkens instantly.]
[The atmosphere in the room becomes heavy, even the ’Black Heavenly Dog’ beside the vice-palace leader glares at you furiously.]
[Just when you think the vice-palace leader is about to explode in anger, she resumes her smiling demeanor.]
[The vice-palace leader commends your vitality as a foreign mage. However, she regrets that she’s too old to accompany you herself, so she’ll summon two more maids to entertain you instead.]
[She instructs two Yin Yang Masters outside the door to bring two maids...]
Lin Xun smirks.
Two maids were almost drained to death by the guild leader, wouldn’t two more result in their death by exhaustion?
If they can’t kill the vice palace leader tonight, they might be trapped in the Yiye Palace forever.]
[Strangely, there is no response from the two Yin Yang Masters outside the door after the vice-palace leader gives her instructions.]
[Her suppressed rage begins to rise again. She strides over to fling open the door, ready to shout at them.]
[But she finds the two Yin Yang Masters lying on the ground – their eyes vacant, showing no signs of life.]
[Alarmed, the vice-palace leader hastily attempts to send the ’Black Heavenly Dog’ in to protect...]
[However, a small, shadowy figure silently falls from the shadow of the roof above her.]
[In an instant, a bright flash of a sword illuminates the room!]
[The sword light, akin to falling cherry blossoms, brings chilling beauty and solemn death; it is a swan song for those on the brink of death.]
[When the sword light fades, an old woman’s decapitated head rolls to your feet.]
[The "Vice Palace Leader of the Fire Worshiping Yiye Palace" is dead. You have gained no experience.]
[You have obtained "Holy Large Chunk of Spirituality"*1.]
[You have obtained "Complete Forging Crystal Block"*1.]
[You have obtained "Boundary Formation: Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm" (Legendary grade skill).]
[The ’Black Heavenly Dog’ who was rushing towards the vice-palace leader suddenly freezes.]
[Very soon, a pitch-black inferno ignites from beneath it, turning the immobile red figure into a handful of ash.]
[You know that when a Yin Yang Master, the shikigami’s master, dies, the shikigami also perishes due to the binding contract.]
Lin Xun is left speechless.
He’d been prepared for his ninja master to be extremely powerful; a frail summoner going up against a top-tier assassin would be a disaster.]
But he didn’t expect that with just one stroke of the sword, the ninja master would take down the potent vice palace leader.]
Lin Xun doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Master, you could’ve just assassinated her, why did you cut her head off?"
The body Shell needed to maintain a certain amount of integrity, it could possess one that has lost a hand or leg, but a headless corpse is undeniably impossible to possess.
[You look towards the headless corpse standing upright.]
[The Shell of the ’Vice Palace Leader of the Fire Worshiping Yiye Palace’: The old lady, who seized complete control of the Yiye Palace due to the ignorance of the senior palace leader, was unlucky to have encountered her nemesis. She was killed by swift and lethal assassination—decapitation.]
"Damn, there’s absolutely no compatibility!"
Lin Xun can’t help but complain. He wonders if this is the underworld game’s punishment for exploiting loopholes.]
[A small figure slowly approaches you, lifts the corner of his cap, and attempts to speak. But he quickly covers his mouth with a hand, breaking into a severe cough.]
[You notice a line of black blood slipping through the creases of his palm.]
[After a while, the ’Fire Worshiping Ninja Master of Noshin Flow’ stops coughing and speaks slowly. He says you’re his disciple Yaichi’s close friend, the foreign mage, very strong just as Yaichi described.]
[The ninja master takes out the ’Noshin Flow Ninja’s’ face mask to show his identity and then advises you that it’s not safe to stay here. He asks you to accompany him, there’s important matter to discuss.]
[Will you leave the Yiye Palace with the ’Fire Worshiping Ninja Master of Noshin Flow’?]
Lin Xun secretly berates himself. He doesn’t possess the ability to turn invisible unlike the guild leader.]
Going straight wouldn’t it just result in getting beaten by a bunch of insignificant Yin Yang Master monsters?]
However, thinking about having an elite escort and a bunch of little monsters that can be used for farming experience and spirituality, not taking advantage of this would be a waste.]
[You voice your doubt to the ninja master, reminding him about the remaining Yin Yang Masters in the palace...]
[The ’Ninja Master’, however, remains silent, leading the way towards the palace’s main gate.]
[Though there are lights on in the houses and palaces along the way, they are eerily quiet, without any sign of movement.]
[The entire palace seems like a death zone, with over a hundred Yin Yang Masters dying without a sound.]
???
Lin Xun smirks again.
Previously, he questioned where the ninja master had gone as he didn’t appear for a long time.]
Now he understands... damn, the ninja master really proves to be a top-tier existence among ninjas, leaving no one alive in his wake.]
Presumably, those insignificant Yin Yang Masters had a peaceful death.]
This also shows the ninja master’s decisiveness to kill.]
Typically, ninjas give all they’ve got into one hit at their target.]
If unsuccessful, they immediately flee and plan for a second attempt.]
