Flesh flew in all directions as blood splattered the ground. Everyone stared in horror at their charred limbs as chaos ensued among the flock of horrified sheep. Dan coldly smiled, although he still felt strange about the idea of relentlessly killing anyone just because they sided with his enemies.

Dan knew that in this ruthless world. Becoming merciful to your enemies was being merciless to yourself.

They could only blame themselves for being so blind as to believe everything that their Clan Chief said.

With a flick of Dan's wrist, several booming sounds resonated and as the chaos intensified, numerous system notification sounds echoed inside Dan's mind, reminding him of his successful a.s.sa.s.sinations.

"Tcch." Dan clicked his tongue, ahead of him; the cultivators that panicked because of the sudden attack, now regained their calm and rallied their comrades in creating a defensive formation which thoroughly engulfed the group. Dan also found that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d Ivan still has fifteen defensive artifacts on his person.

The bluish dome that enveloped the cultivators looked st.u.r.dy and according to the System, Dan would need to generate an attack that could rival a Spirit Tempering Realm Cultivator's full strength to destroy it.

"System, a.n.a.lyze the defensive formations remaining durability and visually display it as a percentage!"

[System Function Initiating; 35%]

[System Function Completed! Results: Pseudo-Heaven Grade Formation: 97%]

Dan took a Frag Grenade from his Virtual Inventory and detonated it directly on the barrier.

[Pseudo-Heaven Grade Formation: 95%]

'So a single Frag Grenade takes off two percent of their barrier's health?' Dan smirked, opening his My Account, he noticed that he now had two thousand a.s.sa.s.sination Points. Tapping on the air, he bought at least a hundred Frag Grenades as his a.s.sault, once again restarted.

Inside the formation, Ivan Batian's expression looked pale. Although he had so many defensive artifacts on him, he still felt unsafe and had to force his fellow disciples to erect a barrier for him. Sophia inwardly sneered, she clutched a jade pendant that hung on her neck and thought to herself, 'G.o.dd.a.m.ned it, I shouldn't have come to this Clan! f.u.c.king useless of a brother and I even let him do me...' she rolled her eyes in vexation.

Meanwhile, beaded sweat formed on the former's forehead as he carefully stared around while holding his sword, 'Just where is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d attacking from?' He repeatedly cursed in his mind. From what he saw, the cause of these explosions were those small green b.a.l.l.s that mysteriously flew towards them in an unknown direction.

Clenching his fists, he didn't understand why; but he could only think that this event must be Dan's handiwork. Eyes reddened, he rotated his cultivation base and powered the formation around them. However, he also marked Dan's name inside his to-kill list.

Several minutes later, the barrier looked like it was on the brink of destruction under Dan's relentless attacks. Ivan shouted, "Everyone, we cannot last for long anymore! Use all of your defensive artifacts so that we can escape from this h.e.l.lhole!" He crushed a jadeslip as an azure light enveloped his person and Sophia.

His fellow disciples looked pale, not all of them had a defensive artifact that they could use. Cursing Ivan in their hearts, they slowly retreated, bringing with them the barrier as they inched away from the Imperial Palace.

Crack...

Several cracks dotted the formation and its light started flickering. Dan who observed all this while took a small dagger from his virtual inventory and readied it along with a Flash Grenade. When the last Frag Grenade exploded along with the defensive barrier.

Dan threw the Flash Grenade, disorienting everyone and temporarily taking their sight. Ivan hastily covered his eyes, but since his cultivation wasn't at the Spirit Tempering Realm; he couldn't utilize his soul to scan his surroundings, making him akin to a headless fly.

A vicious smile lifted on Dan's lips as he pounced, cold light flew in all directions as Dan begun his a.s.sault. Bloodcurdling screams echoed as blood flew everywhere, Dan transformed into a G.o.d of Slaughter, as bodies after bodies turned cold and fell to the ground.

Even those beautiful disciple's of the two clans were not spared. What use was a beauty if their heart was as venomous as a snake? Dan inwardly thought as he sliced.

Soon, ten seconds pa.s.sed as the eyesight of the remaining disciples returned. But when they opened their eyes. The scene that revealed itself to them, made them stagger backward in fear.

"Y-y-young master..." A senior disciple pleaded on the side. The aggravated Ivan stared at the former with the same light within the former's eyes.

They were terrified.

Terrified of the unknown that was killing them all.

A putrid stench wafted from the scene, as Ivan found that he just p.i.s.sed in his pants in fear. Sophia knitted her eyebrows and she subconsciously stepped backward in disgust and annoyance.

The deaths of these disciples didn't touch her heart. Instead, it made her happy that the forces of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d of a father have been reduced by this unknown killer. But still, she felt apprehensive. As if that killer also targeted her.

Clutching her jade pendant, she was ready to crush it when everything goes wrong.

"R-r-r-Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Ivan madly screamed and started running in the opposite direction. The despairing disciples who sat on the ground didn't even move. Instead, they looked dead and their expressions, blank as they stared at the distant horizon.

Dan didn't bother about these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds that already lost their will to live. Instead, he sped towards the direction of Ivan, emerged from Stealth and said, "h.e.l.lo, Ivan. Who is chasing you that you became that miserable?" Dan chuckled.

Ivan abruptly stopped, he stared at Dan with a venomous expression on his face, "Could it be that it was you?! It was you who killed them all?!" He lost all of his reasoning and started spouting nonsense. Dan frowned, although Ivan was a shameless and arrogant b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he should not lose his sense of reason just because of such a small affair.

"System, Scan." Dan stared at his figure and scanned.

[Name: Ivan Batian; Age: 17; Status: the Young Master of the Batian Clan]

[Stats; Str: 1.20, Int: 5; Dex: 2, Agi: 1.53; Sta: 6]

[For Reference, one stat point equals an average human's stat.]

[Cultivation: Early Stage of the Organ Tempering Realm]

[System Evaluation: Can threaten the host.]

[The System has found that the target is under a debuff, would you like to reveal the information pertaining to that debuff? Y/N]

"Y," Dan replied.

[Debuff Name: Whispers of the Succubus]

[Debuff Description: Once a Succubus has taken the essence of a man; she could intertwine his mind with hers, making the man her loyal slave and will certainly obey, all of her instructions.]

[Debuff Hidden Effects: Increased Sensitivity to Emotions and Pleasure]

'What in the actual f.u.c.k? A succubus?! Could it be that her sister is the succubus?' Dan's eyes widened in realization; even though he didn't have enough concrete evidence to support his claim. He knew that he had to trust his instincts.

Dan turned back at the Imperial Palace. But before he could do so. A coquettish whisper echoed beside his ear,

"h.e.l.lo, little boy-toy...I didn't expect that you would become so formidable in such a short span of time..."

His figure went cold.
