Dashing Student-Chapter 1117: Words Like Blades

"I can make a deal with you, whatever you want, I can give it to you, but you must help me kill that one-eyed!"

Zhang Mu’s eyes turned red, his chest filled with grief and rage, hatred overflowing, yet he could do nothing.

"I was thinking the same." Chen Nan nodded, "I don’t want anything else, I only want your head."

"Fine, I’ll give it to you!"

A transaction was thus reached.

Without a hint of hesitation, Zhang Mu flicked his finger, and a longsword flew out from the storage bag at his waist, landing in his hand.

He turned to take a look at his wife and children, tears endlessly sliding down, ultimately unable to bear it, so he untied the storage bag from his waist and threw it to Chen Nan.

"Inside here is a portion of my Zhang Family’s wealth, all gifted to you, along with the Zhang Family’s concocted ’Soul Calming’ poison, which can temporarily strip cultivators below the Golden Core Third Layer of their cultivation."

"You want to use my Zhang Family’s poison to avenge my Zhang Family, and I still plead with you... spare my children, they’re still young, they won’t remember the hatred."

Glancing at the two children still asleep, Chen Nan nodded with difficulty, "Alright, I will do my best."

Seeing Chen Nan agree, Zhang Mu tilted his head up, his longsword swiftly encircled his neck, the sword light flickered and vanished.

"Damn old heavens, I hate you!"

After uttering a last sentence full of resentment and unwillingness, his head rolled straight down to Chen Nan’s feet.

His wife saw this, picked up the longsword, but walked to the corner of the room, gently pressing a brick, and a secret room opened in the wall.

The secret room was very small, with only a few magic books inside.

The woman indicated that Chen Nan could hide the children in the secret room, then embraced her husband’s corpse, and stabbed the longsword into her own heart.

Chen Nan couldn’t help but sigh, truly a pair of star-crossed lovers, which made him detest the One-eyed assassin and Yama Hall even more.

Such a cancer, ought to be completely eradicated!

He stepped forward, picked up the two children, placed them in the secret room, and then summoned the Nine-sided Array Flag, arranging a Concealing Formation.

Still uneasy, he called out the King of Ten Thousand Gu, the little snake.

The little snake’s size had increased, about five inches long, and the two small horns on its top had grown a bit, faintly showing signs of forks.

Its Treasure Eye was slightly closed between its brows, with two distinct patterns on its scales.

At this moment, the little snake had already begun to show signs of majesty.

"Guard these two little ones, wait for me to return, if someone finds you, just escape quickly."

Chen Nan patted the little snake’s head, whispered some instructions.

He couldn’t guarantee that the secret room wouldn’t be discovered.

The little snake fell to the ground from his hand, ran to the side of the two children, hissing.

Chen Nan looked at the magic and mental methods in the secret room, all were just of Eighth and Ninth Grade level, and he simply didn’t care about them.

Even the Zhang Family’s method of concocting the ’Soul Calming’ poison didn’t interest him, after all, he could kill those of Golden Core Third Layer directly, no need for such troublesome poisoning.

Leaving behind some food and water, after doing all this, Chen Nan exited the secret room, closed its door, then picked up Zhang Mu’s head and walked out of the house.

"Rest assured, I will help you kill the one-eyed." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

...

It seemed even the heavens felt the Zhang Family’s injustice, pouring down rain.

The candidate assassins gradually returned to the city gates, and some cultivators in the Zhang Family who could pose a threat to the candidate assassins were secretly eliminated.

Yama Hall sent the candidate assassins to carry out the massacre, not only to let them practice but mainly to extinguish the assassins’ compassion.

So long as the candidate assassins acted against the Zhang Family, they passed the test.

But in the end, some could not bear it, facing either white-haired elders or babbling infants.

Those were directly captured, now kneeling aside, not many, only three to five people.

When Chen Nan returned, other assassins had already come back, some were wounded, but could feel the Blood Evil Qi from all of them.

Indicating they had recently killed someone.

Yet next to them, still knelt five assassins, among them three were female assassins.

Chen Nan hurriedly looked over, relieved to find Qing You wasn’t among them, apparently Qing You wouldn’t lose her head over matters like this.

These assassins were just knives, where the knife cuts wasn’t their decision to make.

"You all did well on this mission, but I warned you from the start, for assassins, the most useless thing is compassion."

"Your compassion can’t save others, it will only harm yourself."

An elder stepped forward, gazing at the five assassins kneeling there, his tone icy.

One candidate assassin panicked instantly, continuously kowtowing, banging loudly.

"Elder, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"

The elder shook his head, slowly saying, "It’s too late, you don’t get a second chance."

As his words fell, he suddenly shot a beam of mana from his hand, which dispersed halfway like five tendrils, instantly piercing the brows of the five candidate assassins.

"Alright, the Zhang Family is annihilated, but one person didn’t act yet still completed the task, I want him to explain how he accomplished this."

The elder turned, his gaze falling on Chen Nan.

Chen Nan knew all his actions were certainly under the surveillance of these elders, so he didn’t conceal anything, directly walked over with Zhang Mu’s head.

"This is the head of the Zhang Family clan leader. I said I would avenge him and kill the one-eyed who chose the Zhang Family, then he voluntarily gave me his head."

Other candidate assassins widened their eyes, it was their first time knowing an assassin could act this way?

Even the elders were surprised, not caring about Chen Nan wanting to kill the one-eyed.

After all, Yama Hall doesn’t forbid competition among assassins, as competition brings vitality.

A few elders gathered, opinions somewhat divided.

"Chen Han didn’t act, which is against our rules, must be heavily punished, so others learn a lesson!"

Another elder shook his head and said, "That’s erroneous, what’s an assassin’s goal? It’s killing, if the result is the same, what importance is the process?"

"Besides, our Yama Hall assassins can use any means, knives can kill, words can also be knives, I think this Chen Han is a talent."

The elder with the icy demeanor who first received Chen Nan spoke up now, seeming to have high status, silencing other elders once he spoke.

"I heard Chen Han risen a Great Realm in a month, such a person has great potential, worthy of focused nurturing, besides he’s the only one to successfully assassinate the one-eyed."

"Hence, I think he no longer needs training, could directly become a formal assassin, how about it?"
