Chapter 17 - Say "Ahhhh..."

Jean was currently in the outskirts of Floating Cloud City, in the corner of an abandoned house. He was sitting quietly against the wall behind him, he finally let out a sigh.

[29/9/1994]

[Z: "Zombie"]

[14:00]

[23:00]

Jean: It is time…

While he was waiting, he found a dead bird nearby and transformed it in a zombie with his blood, the bird's feathers turned from blue to light red, and under Jean's order, it flew to the Xiao Clan to spy on Xiao Yulong.

Hoho, he isn't going to leave without leaving a gift to the person who killed him, so what if Xia Qingyue beat him to death? It wasn't enough, especially when he tried to get his wife.

Jean: Is he drinking wine?

The bird just nodded, and Jean smiled.

Jean: Alright, fly around, I don't need you anymore.

Bird: Chirp!

The bird then flew away from Jean, while he took out the Star Concealing Grass from his Sky Poison Pearl, and then he remembered about the red haired girl on the Sky Poison Pearl, in that moment, he facepalmed.

Jean: Shit! I should have used "Yourself (Type 2)" with her… Maybe next time…

Then he used the Sky Poison Pearl to create some Star Concealing Pills.

They only required a blade of Star Concealing Grass, once consumed, one would be perfectly invisible for three hours. Body, sound, smell, strength, and objects, everything would be concealed.

However, weeks later he will think about this day, and then he realize that one of his abilities would make the Star Concealing Pill appear like a joke…

He reached the infirmary and emptied everything without anyone suspecting anything, everything entered in the Sky Poison Pearl, however, there wasn't any trace of the Profound Opening Powder, probably it was now at Xiao Yunhai's side.

Jean: 'Later there won't be any medical energy to smell from the black box…'

He didn't go to the treasury because he was sure that there isn't anything worth stealing there, seriously, what could be interesting in this small sect? Besides, his invisibility is too limited, so he set the infirmary in fire and directly walked to Xiao Yulong's courtyard, if he was drunk, then he would surely be sleeping there.

He was indeed right, he was calmly sleeping and dead drunk, he entered from the window and closed every hole with some cloth to avoid screams coming out.

Then he reached Xiao Yulong and raised a dagger.

Jean: Say "Ahhh…".

*Stab*

Xiao Yulong: AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Jean stabbed right on his Profound Vein, in the lower abdomen, making him scream in pain like a pig, but since everything was closed, the nearest people here were unable to hear anything.

Jean placed his free hand on Xiao Yulong's mouth to stop his screams, now that his Profound Energy was gone, it was really easy for Jean to keep him down.

Xiao Yulong: HMMPHHH!!!

His eyes widened when he saw Jean with a cold gaze, a eerie smile and a dagger on his hand.

Jean: Yo, I forgot to say bye so I passed by.

Xiao Yulong: HMMPHHHHHH!! HMMPH!!!

Jean: Yeah, I shouldn't be here, but I will do everything for my "Brother Yulong", would you not do the same?

Xiao Yulong nodded and streams of tears came out from his eyes.

Jean: You want me to free you?

Xiao Yulong: HMMPH!!

Jean: Well, but I want you to make something for me, can you do it?

He released his mouth before he laid his hand on Xiao Yulong's ċhėst, making him unable to run away.

Xiao Yulong: YES YES!!! I WILL DO EVERYTHING!! JUST LET ME GO AND I WILL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT!!!

Jean: Fantastic, then… Can you stay here for 1 hour while I finish the job?

Xiao Yulong: W-What…? AHHHHHHHHH!!!

Xiao Yulong's tears never stopped coming down, making his eyes completely red, Jean meanwhile, cut precisely where Xiao Yulong's tendons and nerves should be, blocking both his arms and legs.

The next strike was on his eyes.

Jean: You know, I heard somewhere that blind people were able to see better than normal people after training enough, maybe I can help Brother Yulong on this subject.

*Chi!* *Chi!*

Xiao Yulong wanted to scream, but Jean forcefully blocked his mouth again with his hand and whispered on his ear.

Jean: The moment you drink my blood, you will die, so be careful with your jaw, alright?

Blood oozed out from his eyes, and tears turned into blood. Jean removed the hand from his mouth when he felt Xiao Yulong taking a deep breath before he started to choke him.

Xiao Yulong: Gah…! Guh…

Jean: It would be a shame if someone would enter here and find me before I prepared the gift…

Jean stopped choking him and pulled out Xiao Yulong's tongue, before cutting it off with the dagger.

Xiao Yulong: Gaaaaah… Uwah….

He was unable to scream properly without a tongue and blood flooding his throat. Jean retracted his dagger and looked at the blood that was splattered over it and faintly smiled.

Jean: I know what you feel now, extreme hate for me and for my voice, right? Then how about I make you unable to hear me?

Jean stabbed his dagger inside both of his ears, carefully not hitting the brain, causing them to bleed and destroy the eardrums. Then he slowly ċȧrėssed his skin and said.

Jean: What a strong smell of blood, I will make you a favor and save you from this…

Jean: If I don't get mistaken, the "Place" should be right here…

Then he stabbed his dagger on his nape, he avoided really vital points with his medical knowledge and precision, and cut off the nerves that connected his brain with the rest of the body, this time Xiao Yulong was truly a vegetable…

*Achievement: Worse than Death: Sweet love of god, where did you learn that shit?*

*Reward: 9'999 Ways of Torture Manual.*

A book appeared on Jean's free hand, he caught at it and grimaced when he read the title, he will just keep that book in a corner of the Sky Poison Pearl, where it will never see the sunlight…

The Star Concealing Pill's effects ends in 3 hours, until then, Jean was able to freely activate or deactivate that at his pŀėȧsurė, so he quickly reached the rear mountain, he knows his real surname and it was connected to a bloodline, but he doesn't know anything else.

The Reflection Gorge was a tightly closed area that the Xiao Clan used in order to punish offenders within their clan. Fortunately, because of its narrow entrance, it was unlikely that an excessively violent Profound beast would intrude inside.
