Assassination System

Chapter 196 Night of Cold Slaughter

The Luzon Clan continued their journey deeper inside the Great Wilderness. They didn't lack necessities, but being suddenly subjected in such harsh environments weakened the hearts of the younger generation. Particularly, those dandy young men and women.

"That shithole Paradyne Academy...I swear that once I acquire some achievements, I will definitely return and wreck their place!"

"It's hot, it's muddy and there are insects everywhere! Can we just return to the Empire or stay at a nearby city?!"

Complaints echoed out, and the Elders of the Clan tried their best in pacifying the indignance of the youngsters who weren't used to these hardships. The Luzon Clan didn't have strict restrictions regarding their bloodlines so some members of the Luzon Clan weren't related to their clan at all.

"I'm tired of this! I'll be going back to the Empire! From now on, I am not a member of the Luzon Clan anymore!" A young man finally gave up and shouted. He took his Luzon Clan token and slammed it on the ground.

His words rang loud and clear and everyone turned their heads towards his direction. The young man was taken aback after sensing the heavy gazes directed at him. One of his Senior stared at him like he was a dead man and the young man retaliated.

"What are you guys staring at me like that?! Don't you feel the same right?! The Luzon Clan has committed far too many crimes, and the hammer of justice has already descended! Recovery back to the peak is just a pipe dream! I'd rather return to the Empire than join you guys!" He turned and ran towards the opposite direction.

Puchi~!

Before he could even disappear from their line of sight. A sword flew towards the young man's body, piercing him as blood drenched the ground amidst the panicked screams.

"Traitorous bastards, Is this how you're going to repay the Luzon Clan?! From now on, those that dares to rebel will be personally executed by me..." Jamie's solemn figure appeared from the crowd and everyone parted. He dislodged his sword and burned the young man's body as the smell of burnt flesh nauseated everyone who smelled it.

Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys. A simple but effective strategy in temporarily suppressing all ideas of rebellion. The youngsters of the clan were pacified, but Jamie knew that his actions merely served as a stopgap measure.

"We need to hasten our pace or else the apprehension from the uncertainty of the future will cause us to collapse internally..." Jamie's eyes shone in a serious light as he walked towards the front of the entourage where the Elders congregated.

Dan and Natalie observed the commotion while hidden within the shadows. The darkness of the night reached the peak and the Luzon Clan soon established their camp. Withdrawing their food, the youngsters regained the vigor as they chomped on Spiritual Meat and Vegetables.

"Damn, these bastards really are rich, to think that even when their clan was decimated, they could still afford such luxuries..." Dan bitterly smiled and glanced at Natalie who smiled menacingly. "That's good, it would be a disappointment if we killed them and found that they didn't possess any valuables..."

"Yeah, after witnessing the ruthlessness that displayed towards their own clansmen, I feel like what you said to me about the reality of the Luzon Clan was far accurate than what I thought..."

The two lightly laughed, and discussed the annihilation of the Luzon Clan as if it was a bedtime story. If a third party was here and heard their words, they would run towards the opposite direction in fear.

After a moment of discussion, Dan entered Stealth and sneaked among the youngsters of the Luzon Clan. These young men and women possessed cultivations at the Organ Tempering Realm with the highest at the Peak of Spirit Tempering Realm.

They cheered as they ate and some even opened wine bottles and toasted with their fellow brothers and sisters. Jamie's right hand man, Zazie also sat among the gathered youngsters and ate with them.

Everyone loved Zazie because despite his high cultivation, he was humble and frequently conversed with his juniors. Their cheers soon reached the peak and some of them returned to their respective tents in couples with lascivious smiles on their faces.

Zazie hooked his arms around a younger sister and the two of them walked towards Zazie's tent with blazing lust within their eyes. Taking his clothes off, he pushed the young woman on the bed and pounced at her.

Meanwhile, some adventurous youngsters stayed out of their tents and decided to vent their stress out in the open. The adrenaline pumping through their veins along with their bubbling desires inhibited their senses that they didn't notice Dan approaching them from behind.

Before they could even commence their session, cold wind swept past their necks as blood silently dripped on th ground. They didn't even have the time to scream as Dan reaped their lives with a mere flick of his wrist.

Absorbing their cultivation and lifeforce, Dan felt his dantian throbbing with power as excitement surged within his eyes. Entering Stealth, he dashed towards a tent at the edge of the campsite and easily reaped the lives of the disciples that slept there.

Dan didn't spare anyone, those that met him fell on Dan's mercy as the former silently reaped their lives and absorbed their power. Within several minutes, Dan assassinated thirty Luzon Clan members. He wanted to continue but a system notification stopped him.

[The host has absorbed a vast amount of negative energies at a short time frame. Absorbing without assimilation can lead to energy overload. Unless you want to go out with a bang, I suggest stopping what you're doing right now.]

Dan clicked his tongue and gestured for Natalie, saying that he had already cleared the disciples at the edge of the campsite and it was time for them to invade deeper. Natalie nodded her head, her eyes glistened in a crimson light as she dashed towards Dan's direction.

Natalie covered her skin with black charcoal cream and attached some leaves on her robes effectively mixing with the environment. If she inhibited her aura, there was no way that someone of lower cultivation could discover her presence.

Arriving at a nearby tent where strange noises repeatedly echoed out, Natalie knitted her eyebrows and Dan lightly chuckled, "You'll go for the woman, I'll go for the man." His words sounded ambiguous without context, and Natalie frowned.

"No, leave the man to me," Her expression turned icy and her eyes shone in reminiscence about the horror that he experienced when she was still ten or so years old. She took her soft sword out and lashed it towards the young man's phallus and sliced it into pieces.

The young man felt a sharp stabbing pain on his lower body. His eyes widened in terror when he realized what happened. Unfortunately, Natalie didn't give him the time to scream as the latter sliced at his throat, silencing him forever.

The young woman underneath him became drenched with the blood that splashed from his throat. She opened her murky eyes and saw the scene of horror.

"Wha..."

Just before she could shout, Dan's daggers stabbed on her heart and throat, instantly killing her before she could alert anyone in the vicinity.

"Dear, are you okay?" Dan whispered towards Natalie as he wiped his body clean, Natalie wiped the bloodstains off her body and merely nodded her head towards Dan's inquiry. As her husband, Dan understood that Natalie was currently in the middle of trip down her memory lane.

He didn't ask any questions anymore as the two of them continued their silent killing spree. To make it look like the youngsters disappeared without any notice, Dan even used the system and cleaned all traces of evidence such as blood and footprints along with neatly arranging the belongings of the deceased.

This process took several hours to complete. Fortunately, the two of them struck at the dead of the night or else someone would've already caught them in the act. After several hours of cold slaughter, the two retreated and as soon as daybreak arrived. The Luzon Clan entourage exploded into a huge commotion.
