Death… and me

Carefully, Yin Wu Fa concealed his power. Even though he was certain that this youth would not be able to discover him, an assassin was always cautious. He had always prepared everything flawlessly before making any move.

For an expert like Yin Wu Fa, this fork in the road was the best location to make his move. He was sure that he would be unnoticed amidst the hustle and bustle of people walking!

In a flash, Yin Wu Fa's body arrived at the fork. He stood on the side of the road and awaited his prey.

At the very moment that he came out, Chu Yang had a slight feeling that something was not right. It felt as if someone was watching him quietly, but his intuition was weak.

Besides, more people were watching Bu Tian Pavilion with each passing day. Hence, Chu Yang paid no attention to it.

"Ah… Young master, where are we headed to?" The subordinate, Sha Pei, followed behind him in discontent. I am a member of Iron Blood Hall. I will receive a beating if the King of Hell catches just one flaw!

I just can't believe that I have become this stupid young master's servant… This is really hurting my pride!

"Don't talk so much and just follow behind me closely." Chu Yang responded nonchalantly. He was feeling uneasy at the present moment, but he was unsure as to why. As he got closer to the fork, his internal alarm began to ring out louder. He was trying hard to figure out the anomaly before the servant opened his mouth and interrupted Chu Yang's thought process.

The servant carrying the gift box got even more annoyed and the distance between them had become half a yard. Motherf*****, who do you think you are?!

As he watched the punk walk past a corner, this 'great servant' sighed. He had no choice but to follow. Nothing else mattered for this was a task assigned to him by the minister and he could not neglect it in any way.

To his horror, when he came around from his daze, his mouth gaped in shock. Motherf*****! Where did he go?

Streams of people passed in front of his very eyes. However, Chu Yang was nowhere to be seen. He was baffled. What was he to do now?

Where did that pale face punk go to?

The servant carrying the gift stared blankly at the fork as the world in front of him began spinning. Motherf*****! That guy has disappeared. How am I going to address King of Hell Chu?

As he thought about the misery awaiting him upon his return, his soul felt as if it almost left his body.

After standing in shock for a while, he jumped into the crowd, asking, "Have you seen a very handsome young master dressed in black?"

Right after Chu Yang walked past the corner, his view had become dark. An intense sense of danger was aroused and his whole body felt as if it was paralyzed. A hand grabbed his shoulder and a powerful force spread throughout his bones. Within just moments, his entire body was unable to move. He felt extremely hopeless. Oh no! I have been captured!

In an instant, Chu Yang felt that he was flying upwards, held under someone's armpits.

"Swoosh." The two were in mid-air. By the time they had landed, they were about ten yards away from the fork.

So quick and precise!

My opponent must be a King level master!

It's no wonder that I did not notice him!

This person is probably from Diwu Qing Rou's Golden Horse Riders Department!

Chu Yang closed his eyes calmly and laughed in bitterness internally. Forget about wandering the world and revering fate; I have fallen into the hands of the enemy! Is there any hope left?

It seems that I shall die even before my grand plan comes to fruition.

What Chu Yang felt most curious about was, "Who sold me out? I have maintained a pretentious mysterious façade for such a long time and it has been working so well. How did I get caught so easily?"

After a short while, they landed in an abandoned house.

Plop!

Chu Yang was tossed onto the ground and his whole body could relax. Although he was unable to activate his energy, he was at least able to talk and move.

"Why is this happening? Why didn't he kill me?" Chu Yang thought as he became immensely confused. He knew that Golden Horse Riders Department probably hated him to the bones. If they had caught him, they were bound to chop him up into minced meat. In fact… They probably would not even have bothered to catch him and just chopped him up at the very spot that he stood…

However, judging from the current situation, they seem to want to ask me about something. What could be so important?

Just as he was still thinking, a thin face appeared in front of his very eyes. He had sickening brows and a pair of narrow eyes. He had an evil stare. This man's face was truly hideous; it was like that of a dead corpse.

The aura of the opponent allowed Chu Yang to decipher one thing, that he was a top master! At the very least, he was stronger than Tang Xin Sheng from the other day. Furthermore, his killing aura was dense and sharp as his body was constantly emitting a cold dark air.

This must be a top-level assassin! Perhaps even a King level assassin!

Chu Yang felt a chill in his body. The moment his opponent had revealed himself, Chu Yang had guessed that this person was one of the four King level masters of Golden Horse Riders Department that Diwu Qing Rou had sent to deal with him.

Moreover, it appeared that he was good at killing without being noticed!

I have been too careless! I should not have just went places like that…

"Punk, listen well! When I ask you a question, you will give me just one answer! If you cooperate with me, you will not have to endure much pain. Am I understood?" Yin Wu Fa looked at the young man in front of him and showed a cruel smile.

He is still young and yet his cultivation is already Martial Artist. It seems that his family background and his qualifications are both pretty decent. However, how can a Martial Artist escape my moves? This is as easy as flipping my hand over!

"Oh?" Chu Yang was surprised for a moment. Ask me a question, give you one answer? This… You already got hold of me, why do you need to ask me questions?

Chu Yang felt extremely excited. Could it be that this bastard does not know who I am?

With that thought, Chu Yang put himself in a heap at once and stuttered in fear, "Senior… you… you… what do you… want to… ask…? I I I… I… I… will… tell… tell you everything that I know…"

"Stop stuttering!" Yin Wu Fa yelled furiously. "Look at your useless appearance! Let me ask you, what is your last name?"

"My… my last name… last name is Cao…" Chu Yang was instantly thrilled. He trembled as he answered, "I am called Cao… Cao Ni…" [1]

"I did not ask you for your full name!" Yin Wu Fa shouted angrily, "Let me ask you, is Minister Chu Yang currently at Bu Tian Pavilion?"

"The minister?" Chu Yang's heart relaxed as he answered, "The minister is not there. May I inquire why you are looking for the minister…?"

"To kill him!" Yin Wu Fa snorted and shouted coldly, "If you don't cooperate, I will kill you right now! Am I understood?"

"Understood!" Chu Yang nodded his head repeatedly.

"Give me all the details about this King of Hell Chu." Yin Wu Fa scowled, "If you dare to leave out any little detail, haha, take a look."

Yin Wu Fa's hand gripped on a stone with great force. Instantly, the stone crumbled into powder, falling through the cracks of his fingers.

"Is your head tougher than this stone?"

"No… No…"

"Then tell me!" Yin Wu Fa's voice had a hint of pleasure. He was secretly praising himself for finding such a good candidate.

This pale-faced punk was definitely not someone who could keep a secret. Just a little scare and he had almost soiled his pants!

"King of Hell Chu… King of Hell Chu… Ahhh… King of Hell Chu is not a good person at all!" His eyes displayed a look of hatred as he continued, "He is really not human! He is too difficult, too cruel… too inhumane!"

"Huh?"

"Anyway, King of Hell Chu is the minister and he is extremely powerful No one in Bu Tian Pavilion will argue with this fact. But the way that he treats his subordinates… Ahhh… It is really a punishment to be his subordinate!" Chu Yang spoke with so much hatred that it seemed as if he could no longer weep.

Yin Wu Fa snorted and turned sideways as he glanced at him. He thought to himself, "Only with a bloody tactic like that, can one create a powerful army! How could a pale-faced punk like you understand this?"

Yin Wu Fa then patiently continued, "Tell me about the key points!"

"Yes, yes! King of Hell Chu usually puts on a mask and a loose black cape. We have no idea what his figure looks like. He is always mysterious…" Chu Yang looked up secretly to see Yin Wu Fa's facial expression, "Once, I entered his room to deliver some documents. At the very same moment, Minister Chu was taking off his mask and straightening himself out…"

"Huh? You're saying that you've seen King of Hell Chu's face in person?" Yin Wu Fa was in utter excitement. His spirit rose up.

"Yes, sir! King of Hell Chu's face was haggard while his eyes were full of spirit. There was also an aura of dark energy from within his eyes, making anyone who looks into them tremble with fear." Chu Yang rolled his eyes, pretending to try his best to remember. He had just described the Hei Mo King level master.

"Ah…" Yin Wu Fa rubbed his chin. He concentrated on trying to picture this image. After a few short moments, a cruel, powerful, watchful and fierce figure appeared in his head.

Yes! This appearance matches perfectly with the title 'King of Hell Chu'.

"How old is he?"

"Well, this is how it works. Minister Chu continuously instructs us to spread false rumors that he is 20, 19, or 18 years old to confuse the enemies. However, I was extremely surprised that day, because…" Chu Yang hesitated for a moment.

"Why?" Yin Wu Fa asked impatiently.

"It was truly unbelievable. From the looks of it, King of Hell Chu's real age should be at least 30." Chu Yang said in contemplation, "It would not be too far-fetched to claim that he is 40 years old…"

"That's more reasonable!" Yin Wu Fa felt that he had just discovered a big secret, making his eyes light up. He thought, "Even if you killed me, I wouldn't believe that a 17 to 18 years old kid has such achievements… How can there be talents like Tie Bu Tian? As for Tie Bu Tian, he was nurtured using the resources of an entire nation… Can anyone else even have such an extensive family background?"
