Chapter 208 - Madness

Zhao Li Xin stand in front of the chasm his eyes id dark and empty and then he jumps off the cliff, he remembers Lory was survived when she falls off from the chasm inside the ancient tomb perhaps she would survive this too and just like before she will be waiting for him in the bottom of the chasm with bright smile on her face.

When Zhao Li Xin jump off the cliff no one stop him with his excellent Gin Qong he wouldn't die from that height, he bounced between the rock wall, he easily grab the rock with his bare hand and jump between the wall until he reaches the bottom but he was downcast when he see the current of the river below is swift and heavy and there is no save shores, the river is squeezed between two chasm.

If she managed to survive the falling she would be carried by the current flow, Zhao Li Xin follow the current to see if they're any safe place for her to avoid the current but it's only getting worse because the current get heavier and it's only because one reason 'a waterfall' Zhao Li Xin heart sank deeper he got hyperventilated when he sees the massive waterfall.

'Can she survive this?' Zhao Li Xin stand on the stepping stone in the edged of the waterfalls he didn't want to admit it but her changes to survive this is close to none, even if someone like Mong Ki and Mong Yi can barely survive this moreover a small woman like Lory, she would be squash by the weight of the water, how could she be alive?

The gold and yellow flame ignited from Zhao Li Xin's body and its twirl around him gradually the flame twirl is getting bigger and bigger just like a tornado, when the flame touches the river water its created smoked with 'Hiss' sounds.

Meanwhile, the flame tornado is getting better even Mong Ki and the shadow guards can see it clearly, all of them shivering in fear they're instinct told them to run for cover but their loyalty forces them to stay, the bird on the sky squawk and run in frenzy the smoke from below rising higher cover the river surface, dozens of fish floating on the surface because the water temperature is too hot.

At that time, they all lament the same thing 'DA*N, we screw!'

Influenced by raged he hit the edged of the waterfall with deafening sounds the rock behind the waterfalls crumbling for a second the waterfall stop from the heavy impact than slowly the water gather again and the waterfall flow again as if nothing has happened, Zhao Li Xin jump back to the top of chasm his expression is cold and flat, the shadow guard quickly kneeled on the ground no one date to look at his face or even breathing harshly.

"I want everyone who has benefit from her…..gone to die, kill them all but first I want to know who dares to trap us," he said with a monotone face they're's no sadness, anger or desperation its completely flat but that's only make him scarier.

"I want to kill them with my owned hand…" he said with a face as cold as a glacier.

"Yes, Milord!" the shadow guards shouted at the same time, all of them trembles and they're body soaked with cold sweat, the air around they're Lord is so thin and sharp they almost faint from the lacked air only Mong Ki who dare enough to approach him.

"Milord these people are from the wolf gang, they are a criminal group who hide in Ton Guan mountain not far from here," Mong Ki said calmly but gods know all of his hair is raised when he gets close to his Lord, he has never been this terrified to Zhao Li Xin before.

Zhao Li Xin's face remains placid and empty as nothing reflects on his eyes just like dead man eyes "Let's go…" he takes another leap and disappear leaving only his faint mirage, Mong Ki take a long deep breath to calm his nerves than he follows his Lord.

The wolf gang is celebrating after they finish they're jobs, the pay for this job is very profitable they didn't have to work for the next three months because of this, they reward themselves with women and booze. They rent a lot of prostitutes to entertain them so many women with skimpy dress running around inside the gang lair.

The lair filled with men and women laughter, the music play loudly many people drunk and faint on the table.

"This is great!" one of the men hit the table excitedly with a woman sitting on his lap clinging on his neck.

"Thankfully you can kill that bi**h, if not how could we explained it to our client" the other man with intoxicated face chimed in.

"Hump, the client also lie to us she said that girl is weak and useless but look what happened? Many of our brothers died in her hand" he hit the table again angrily.

"Oh, what about that necklace, we don't need to give it to our client isn't it, is not something she had looking for" other man with thin frame also joined the conversation.

The man in the middle take out the necklace with blue crystal flower dangling on the middle of the chain, the light from the torch only make the flower look more delicate, the prostituted who sit on the other man lap was awed struck by the beauty of the necklace than she pressed her body coyly "Big brother the necklace is so beautiful, why don't you reward it to me I will give you the best served you never had" she smile coquettishly.

The man scoffed in contempt "This necklace is valued more than a hundred women like yours, don't even think about it!"

The woman put her mouth but she did not dare to ask farther.

"So, should we give them or not her people would come to fetch the goods isn't it," the thin man asked with a dejected face.

"Let's tell her this necklace is to compensated our brother death we even lose a few contractual beasts, so this necklace would cover all the lost"

"Yes, that's right!"

The man who held the necklace laughing loudly but suddenly his hand is cut and the blood spurt out of his wrist, he screams in agony why the others fall from their chair frantically, on the table, there's a man with black uniform half his face is cover with cloth he takes the necklace swiftly from the man limbs before it falls on the ground, his sword is dripping with blood from cutting the man hand previously.

The women scream in fright and the men take few steps back from the man who crouches on the table, they can feel murderous intent immerged from that mysterious black man, they still in shocked when more men with black uniform jump from above and cut everyone limbs, the blood spurt everywhere people scream in panic, they try to fight back but it was all futile the group of men with black clothes is way stronger than them.

Zhao Li Xin walk calmly in the middle of frenzy, the man on the table jump down he bows at Zhao Li Xin while showing him the necklace, he makes gloom expression when he touches the bluebell necklace he feel something stuck on his throat when he shut his eyes the trace of warmth in his heart suddenly disappeared he can't feel anything anymore only hollow.

"Bring them to me…" he hissed.

The shadow guards pull the men who gather around the necklace including the one who lost his palm, all of them push to the ground by the shadow guards, they don't know what happened or how could they provoke this powerful man, when they lift they're head a man with long black robes with beautiful handsome face without any flaw just like an immortal staring down on them his eyes are dark as onyx stone, its beautiful, cold and most of all empty, he look at them like they are nothing more than an ants, they can feel their blood run cold 'The Death is coming!' that's all they can think of.

"Where do you find this necklace," he said with a cold voice.

"We….we…have it from the girl, if….if… you like it…. it's yours" the thin man stutter his body can't stop trembling.

"Where's the girl?" he said again with dreadful eyes.

The thin man looking at his friend beside him, his friend painstakingly kneel on the ground "I…..I kill her…" he said timidly.

And the air temperature around them increased, the shadows guards and Mong Ki stop breathing there's a terror in all they're eyes, Mong Ki watch his Lord anxiously.

"How do you kill her?" Zhao Li Xin crouch in front of that man.

As if he was prey by a beast his body trembles strongly, his eyes moist with tears his breathing become unstable "Please….I'm sorry, I don't mean to…..please, I just do what they told me...please…..please" he so scared he begins to pee himself the awful smell spread in the air but Zhao Li Xin unperturbed, his head lean closer until only a few inches between them.

"Tell me, how-do-you-kill-her?" he spells word by word with an eerie face.

"I...I pierce…her heart….with an arrow" his face become paled as a sheet because the handsome man in front of him make an expression that make his heart stop in an instant by than he knew that he will not make it out alive, none of them would.
