Chapter 323: Chapter 223 Hero, spare my life! (Please subscribe)

Nineteen silver-badge assassins, apart from the couple chased by Green Blade Demon, the rest scattered in all directions.

They deeply knew, to save their lives from the hands of Living Yama, Old Demon Duan, the only way was to run individually, each in a different direction.

One silver-badge assassin just jumped into the river, when suddenly, a Sword Qi like Moonlight directly cleaved the water in half, and his body too was split into two parts.

An assassin was frantically running along the edge of a cliff, she appeared to be a man, but was actually a woman.

Within this Netherworld Mountain Villa, she hardly had any friends, hence even fewer knew her true gender.

The woman turned her head back, her eyes filled with despair.

Suddenly, Old Demon Duan’s legs blurred into shadows, he was about to catch up to her in the blink of an eye!

She was about to die, likely very few people knew her gender.

Truth be told, her background wasn’t destitute; she could even be considered a lady of a reputable family, yet due to her androgynous appearance, she felt tremendously inferior.

She came to Netherworld Mountain Villa to become an assassin, one reason was to be alone, another was that the Mountain Villa had Cultivation Techniques for breast enhancement and beautification; if she succeeded in her cultivation, she might be able to live without feeling inferior.

She just wanted to be beautiful, what was wrong with that?

It was just about killing some people!

Those who were paid to be assassinated, could they be entirely blameless?

But who would think, before she even could become beautiful, she was about to die!

At that moment, a gust of wind passed, and Old Demon Duan was already running shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Duan, Mr. Duan, Young Hero Duan." The female assassin’s voice trembled.

A Sword Qi pierced through her chest, and her whole body slanted, collapsing to the ground.

It was this address ’Young Hero Duan,’ that allowed her to preserve her whole corpse.

After continuously killing four people, Duan Yun really found it hard to locate the scattered assassins.

Especially since there must be those purposely stirring the waters to gain time to escape from his righteous hands, some bronze and iron badge assassins also got the news and started fleeing.

That is to say, his plans to become the Manor Master had nearly failed.

These assassins were of no further use.

Assassins who couldn’t be arranged by him to carry out justice were of no value, and could only be killed off!

Just because someone shouted "Old Demon Duan," his plan of Extraordinary Wisdom was ruined, filling Young Hero Duan with fury.

No, the tarnished name of Old Demon Duan was too damaging, he still had to launch a new alias, and play the card of the Young Hero.

In any case, the alias "Young Hero Duan Lang" was not working anymore; it was time to start anew.

It could only be said that after aliases like Murong Fu, Duan Lang, Xu Xian, Young Hero Duan had to adopt a new name.

However, the most important thing at the moment was to annihilate this Mountain Villa.

Suddenly, Duan Yun thought of a place and dashed towards it like lightning.

...

Riverbank, dock, two coffins.

The old lady in charge of receiving and sending off the coffins was sweating profusely.

So many people suddenly needing to leave, she was overwhelmed.

Seeing her dilly-dallying, two silver-badge assassins quickly helped drag the coffins over, without a word, they dove right in.

The assassins who ran here, wanting to escape, couldn’t wait any longer and also swiftly climbed in.

The two coffins were jostled and shaken in the water, bobbing up and down, like a rocking bed.

"Hey, take turns!"

"Take turns my foot! Close the coffin, we’re in a hurry for a mission!"

What they meant by ’in a hurry for a mission’ was actually rushing to flee from there, to escape the pursuit of Old Demon Duan.

The Manor Master was killed, were these minions not running to wait for death?

The old lady had never seen so many silver-badge assassins so urgently ’going for a mission’ before, but she just did her job and closed the coffins.

From the outside, at least four people were hiding in one coffin.

Due to the lack of space, some had already used Bone Shrinking Skills, but it was still extremely tight.

They were stacked on top of one another, resembling some kind of multi-limbed monster.

"Ah, you poked my butt!"

"What can you do about being squished? Just poke the one above and call it even!"

For a moment, a group of men piling on top of each other.

Luckily, the coffin lids were eventually sealed, and in the darkness, they were stacked together, feeling an unusual sense of security for the first time.

As long as they could escape, their chances of survival would greatly increase.

Maybe because there were too many people, the coffin was deep in the water and didn’t drift fast.

But the people inside the coffin couldn’t feel these; they felt like a light boat had already crossed myriad mountains.

Just then, a tap sound was heard, the coffin lid suddenly moved.

The stacked assassins suddenly turned pale and trembled all over.

"So you all are here."

A voice floated in through the crack of the coffin lid, making everyone’s heart almost leap out.

Old Demon Duan!

They wanted to struggle and escape, but tangled and piled atop one another, and with the limited space in the coffin, they couldn’t move at all.

This movement even elicited soul-wrenching screams from some.

The next moment, the coffin lid was lifted, revealing Duan Yun’s handsome face.

His face was indeed handsome, even bearing a slight smile, but seen through the opening of the coffin, it appeared horrific!

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Old Demon Duan!"

The assassins began to scream, some even urinating!

With a ’snap’, the screaming abruptly ceased.

With just one sword, four Silver-plated assassins were instantly killed.

Their heads, because of their close clustering, were skewered together by a golden sword, resembling sugarcoated haws.

Duan Yun pulled out the golden sword and slowly exhaled, knowing he had come to the right place.

The killers gathered together, making it easier to kill them.

Duan Yun gently leaped onto another coffin.

Thus, the coffin filled with bodies flowed downwards.

This coffin was even more cramped than the last; the inhabitants thought they had escaped a multitude of dangers, but in the old lady’s eyes, they were about to die.

Duan Yun stepped on the coffin, and it remained motionless on the water.

"Yo-ho! There’s another one!"

The moment he opened the coffin, Duan Yun couldn’t help but exclaim as he saw the overlapping scene inside.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Old Demon Duan!"

Familiar screaming began, then abruptly ended, and familiar heads were skewered just like sugarcoated haws. In a short time, nine Silver-plated assassins who thought they’d escaped death had truly ascended to heaven.

They did not go peacefully.

The old lady, upon seeing this scene, turned pale and trembled.

At this moment, others ran here, seeking to leave.

These people did not recognize Duan Yun. The man leading them even pushed Duan Yun aside and frantically yelled, "Quick, place the coffin, we need to get out!"

Duan Yun could not help but ask, "Gentlemen, why are you in such a rush to leave?"

The man angrily said, "You fool! Old Demon Duan has infiltrated; even the Manor Master has been murdered. Should we not run before Old Demon Duan murders and assaults us too?"

"Old Lady Yu! Quickly!"

Old Lady Yu looked at Duan Yun, too frightened to move.

The assassins couldn’t help wanting to lash out, but seeing Old Lady Yu’s reaction, they turned to look at Duan Yun.

One nervous assassin carrying a bundle said, "This one looks somewhat unfamiliar."

Duan Yun smiled and said, "I am Duan Yun."

"Old, Old Demon Duan!"

"Old Demon Duan!"

"Old Demon Duan!"

Some were horrified, screaming aloud.

As soon as the words ended, several streams of white Sword Qi shot out, like white rainbows, instantly piercing through the foreheads of those who just screamed "Old Demon Duan," killing them on the spot.

The remaining four were scared out of their wits; two of them ran, only to see a crescent-like Sword Qi sweep by, and with their own eyes watched as their lower bodies continued to run forward, while their upper bodies fell to the ground.

Before they died, they kept watching their lower bodies rushing forward, unable to let go.

The departure of the lower bodies - was it the pursuit of the wind, or the lack of retention by the upper body!

The last two assassins thumped to their knees and wailed at Duan Yun, "Hero, please spare our lives!"

Hearing the words "Hero," Duan Yun’s expression softened, and he instantly placed his hands on their heads.

After about ten breaths, the two assassins suddenly opened their eyes, staring blankly, and said, "I want to be a hero!"

"To be a hero, you must lead the way. What places here are easy to hide in?" Duan Yun said.

"I know! I’ll show you right now!"

The male assassin on the left raised his left hand, his face filled with excitement.

Afterwards, the old lady watched the two assassins shouting "I want to be a hero!" as they headed towards Mountain Villa, looking exactly like Living Yamadev claiming lives.
