Chapter 544: Chapter 13: To Help or Not to Help?

“The power of Sky Splitting is indeed formidable!”

Lin Feng murmured as he swiftly collected the storage rings from the three bodies and then quickly departed.

Shortly after Lin Feng left, two mysterious figures clad in black appeared.

“Is it that person’s aura?”

One of them spoke, his voice harsh, piercing, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

His tone was like that of a walking corpse, chilling to the bone.

“It was him who killed Gong Yubai,” the voice of the second figure in black sinisterly spread.

“Although Gong Yubai was only a trial assassin for Nine Nether and had not been formally inducted, his murder cannot be tolerated,” the first figure in black stated coldly.

“Those who kill members of Nine Nether will be hunted down and executed by Nine Nether, no matter if they flee to the ends of the earth,” the second figure declared in an owl-like, unpleasant voice.

Nine Nether… an extremely terrifying assassin organization.

Shen Yu Yang had once hired a Nine Nether Killer to assassinate Lin Feng, and that assassin was Gong Yubai. Lin Feng still clearly remembered that Gong Yubai was also a Spirit Array Master.

But Gong Yubai had failed and died at Lin Feng’s hands.

The reason Nine Nether assassin organization was feared, causing people to pale at its mention was not just because of the organization’s own power.

It was also their vengeful nature.

Once Nine Nether accepted a mission, they would assassinate the target repeatedly, no matter the cost, until the target was killed.

This was the rule of Nine Nether assassin organization, and their reputation.

Unlike some assassin organizations that would give up after one or two, or a few failed assassination attempts.

Or if the client died, they would also abandon the mission.

But Nine Nether assassin organization wouldn’t.

Even if the client died, they would keep trying to assassinate the target.

Perhaps it was this reputation that helped Nine Nether assassin organization grow more immense over time.

“Gong Yubai is dead. Now that we’ve taken over his mission, we must ensure that brat has no place to die peacefully,” the first assassin’s voice carried on sinuously.

“Chase.”

The second assassin commanded.

“Whoosh…”

The two assassins vanished without a trace.

Unbeknownst to Lin Feng, he was being watched by members of Nine Nether assassin organization.

…

He continued to move deeper.

That day, Lin Feng heard battle cries echoing out.

About a dozen cultivators were chasing five cultivators.

Lin Feng looked and realized that among the five being chased, one was someone he recognized–it was Sun Yaya.

The young gentleman close to Sun Yaya was Xia Zihang, who seemed to be quite intimate with her.

The other three were not from the Star Pavilion, likely either Loose Cultivators or cultivators from other powers.

The dozen or so chasing them were from Divine Sword Manor.

“Divine Sword Manor, to break the seal of the Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion, has slaughtered thousands of cultivators. Even if this happened in the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, it’s excessively venomous. As long as you let us go, we promise to keep this incident a secret for Divine Sword Manor,” Xia Zihang shouted loudly!

Lin Feng stood atop a large tree watching these people, and upon hearing Xia Zihang’s words, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

If you hadn’t mentioned this incident, perhaps you might have had the chance to escape.

But now that you’ve brought it up, how could the people of Divine Sword Manor let you go?

As expected, the faces of the cultivators from Divine Sword Manor pursuing them were filled with grim killing intent.

They quickly approached.

A leading disciple named Li Jiyang sneered, “We only believe dead people can keep a secret forever”!

Swoosh, swoosh…

The cultivators from Divine Sword Manor had caught up and were now besieging five against thirteen.

And Xia Zihang, Sun Yaya, and the other three were all carrying injuries.

“Clang clang clang…”

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

“Thud!”

The sound of tearing flesh echoed as a cultivator had an arm chopped off by a disciple of Divine Sword Manor.

Blood gushed out instantly.

“Ah.”

The cultivator let out an exceedingly mournful scream.

In the next moment, many rushed forward and directly stabbed the cultivator to death, even beheading him.

“Let’s fight them to the end…”

Two other cultivators gritted their teeth and pounced towards the elite disciples of Divine Sword Manor.

But it was of no use, merely a futile attempt at breaking out.

Thud thud…

Sword Qi pierced straight through the bodies of the two cultivators, who died on the spot in agony.

“Ah, don’t kill me, please, don’t kill me, my grandfather is an elder of the Inner Academy, I’ll give you my storage ring, I have a great future ahead of me, I cannot die here.”

Xia Zihang pleaded incessantly to these people.

“Pah, such Heavenly Pride, more like a useless trash.”

Many disciples of Divine Sword Manor showed their disdain.

“I’m trash, I’m trash, spare this piece of trash, this woman, I’ll give her to you as well, just spare my life please.”

Xia Zihang pushed Sun Yaya towards Li Jiyang.

“Haha, not bad, this little girl looks pretty pure.”

Seeing Sun Yaya’s innocent face, Li Jiyang laughed wickedly, tossing Sun Yaya to the people behind him.

Sun Yaya let out continuous screams, filled with despair, she couldn’t even believe that Xia Zihang, who had lavished her with sweet words and affection, could so easily throw her to someone else.

“As long as everyone is satisfied,” Xia Zihang said with a compensatory smile.

“Thump,” but in the next moment, a cold light flashed by, piercing straight through Xia Zihang’s chest.

“Why do you still want to kill me?” Xia Zihang cried in disbelief.

Li Jiyang called back his flying sword and snickered coldly, “Who said I would spare your life?”

Xia Zihang fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.

Li Jiyang then hoisted Sun Yaya up and walked towards a smooth rock.

“Let me go, let me go.”

Sun Yaya yelled in terror, but she couldn’t struggle free.

“To help or not to help?”

Lin Feng frowned slightly.

He had no particular fondness for Sun Yaya, so he hesitated.

But after thinking it over, Lin Feng still couldn’t stand idly by and watch Sun Yaya be defiled by these people.

If these people had simply killed Sun Yaya with a single cut, Lin Feng wouldn’t have bothered.

But they were going to violate Sun Yaya, which was too beastly.

Inside the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, with no restraints, many unleashed their inner demons.

Just like these disciples of Divine Sword Manor.

Unbound by any moral constraints, the group turned exceedingly malevolent, utterly heartless.

“Release her, and you shall not die.”

…

A cold voice suddenly echoed.

“Who?” Li Jiyang and the other disciples of Divine Sword Manor looked around warily.

Tens of meters away, Lin Feng jumped down from a dense tree.
