Awakened: The Spirit King!

They were all assassins, and their identity was something even the Lord of Clouds couldn\'t know.

After they get rid of Xie Yang, they would earn a fortune, and no one would come for their life.

It was a golden deal for them.

\'So these assassins are also after me. It\'s a surprise only five in the fourth to eight cultivation realm came for my head. They aren\'t too strong. I can take them on myself.\'

Xie Yang concluded that he was strong enough to mess with them before launching a sneak but deadly attack towards him.

Multiple dazzling sword rays appeared under the sky and above the land, and they didn\'t disappear before reaping two lives.

"Fuck! Who the heck attacked us?"

The leader looked here and there before catching a handsome young man in his sight.

The level 7 cultivator beside him saw who attacked them, and his eyes widened in surprise and bewilderment, a mixture of emotions in harmony with each other.

"There he is." He said while pointing at Xie Yang.

"Stop babbling."

The leader failed to understand him and smashed his head before warning him to look out for any suspicious move that the handsome person might make.

"He is our target!"

The level 7 assassin\'s words made the leader realize that the handsome man was none other than Xie Yang, the youngest and frail son of the lord of cloud who recovered from his ailment recently and became a cultivator.

"You\'re Xie Yang?"

The leader found it hard to believe that Xie Yang was strong enough to kill two level 4 cultivators in a single strike.

\'Didn\'t he recently become a cultivator?\'

\'How did he gain sword intent?!\'

\'How did he climb up several levels and reach level 6?!\'

\'The information provided to us by the organization is too damn wrong! He isn\'t a beginner level 1 cultivator but a damn level 6 sword cultivator! He has already stepped into the path of sword cultivation, the path with the highest offensive power! God damn it!\'

He had a spiritual object that let him check the level of a cultivator.

Thus, he was able to determine that Xie Yang was a level 6 cultivator.

Xie Yang didn\'t reply and kept moving towards the three remaining assassins with confident and stable steps.

"He\'s just a level 6 elixir field nourishing realm cultivator! We can take him down if we attack together."

The leader urged his subordinate not to lose heart, to not falter from facing Xie Yang.

"Oh, really?"

Xie Yang said in such a taunting voice that two of the assassins felt disheartened.

They didn\'t want to fight a cultivator with sword intent!

"We won\'t know if we don\'t try!"

The leader rushed towards Xie Yang. The level 7 cultivator gritted his teeth and followed after him.

"I will support you guys from here."

The level 5 cultivator didn\'t move, but he did throw some daggers at Xie Yang.

He saw the dagger coming towards him and twirled his sword before using it to deflect all of them.

By that time, the two assassins had reached him.

They immediately brandished their weapons that were reeking of the smell of poison at Xie Yang, who maneuvered his body like an expert and stepped out of the trajectory of their sword but at the same time, he attacked them, cutting severe open wounds on their flesh.

They were just level 7 and eight cultivators and didn\'t have excellent vitality.

They knew that they would die if they remained here.

Thus, after that single exchange, they made a run for it.

"Running away, huh? I won\'t let you."

He brandished his sword in a vertical slash, and sword rays manifested under the sky once again.

They landed on the back of the level 8 and level 7 assassin and shredded them to pieces.

The level 5 cultivator, who was the furthest away from Xie Yang, managed to survive for the sword ray meant for him unluckily crashed on a tree.

The assassin gritted his teeth and ran so wildly that Leader Ye, who saw him nearly, thought he was getting chased by a ghost.

The assassin internally promised himself that he would quit his job if he survived.

Whoosh!

Leader Ye saw the moonlight sword flying through the air and stabbing into the back of the assassin.

The assassin fell on the ground and puked out three mouthfuls of blood.

\'I don\'t want to die!\'

The assassin gritted his teeth and pulled the sword out of his back before standing up and stumbling his way forward.

\'What did I do to deserve this?\'

\'I only killed people to get food and whores for myself!\'

He was trying to make things sound better for himself.

He could do something else and be more humble to earn money and enjoy the luxury of life.

However, he chose to kill good and evil men, women, and children for the sake of making money, which he spent to indulge in bad habits.

\'I don\'t want to die!\'

The assassin was afraid that he would end up in death.

\'I refuse to die!\'

No!

He was sure that hell was the place where it would enter after death.

It was afraid of paying for his sins.

Thus, it didn\'t want to die.

However, Leader Ye beheaded him mercilessly.

He then looked towards Xie Yang and said, "I knew I would find you in the golden woodlands!"

"Brother, you know me the best, ah." Xie Yang replied as he ran a hand along the side of his face to wipe the blood on his face.

"Why is there so much blood on you? Did you get injured?"

Leader Ye inspected him with a stern face but warm eyes full of worry.

It was a rare sight for Xie Yang.

He shook his hand and said, "The blood is not mine but of my enemies."

Leader Ye worry lessened after he heard Xie Yang\'s words and saw that there was no wound on his body.
