Chapter 251: The Reek of Blood Enveloped the World
Under the stars, the night was quiet and peaceful, yet a murderous aura was hidden within. The gently blowing breeze was as though having a faint reek of blood therein.
Wolf Head and eleven veteran soldiers divided into three groups as they moved closer to the abandoned factory. With their mouths biting Mitsubishi army knives, they advanced forward, creeping as though wolves in the thick patches of grasses. They didn't sense Tang Xiu following them behind nor they were aware of his presence in the surrounding. But the two who were lying amidst the grasses already found a few big guys.
"Eight o'clock direction, two sentries, white males. Another black one is guarding 12 meters behind the holed wall. Two groups, get closer and take care of them." Wolf Head was lying in a thick patch of grasses. He issued an order after having observed through his binoculars for a long time.
"Roger that!"
The groups' members replied to him through the wireless earphone.
Very quickly, the four war veterans quietly lurked as though leopards in the night. Having spent half a minute, they appeared near the two white guards. One of them was biting the Mitsubishi army as he moved more vigorously along the wall, crossing to the other side and quietly appearing behind a black guard.
Puff!
The knife slashed the black guard's throat as his hand filled with calluses covered his mouth. The movement of his knife changed direction and then deeply pierced the black guard's heart. The Grim Reaper Scythe mercenary struggled a little before laying still.
"Scythe tattoo?"
The retired soldier opened the black guard's collar. After he saw the scythe tattoo on it, he finally determined the other party's identity.
At the same time, the other three war veterans began their attacks as if thunderbolts. Their moves were neat and clean, quickly slaying the other two black guards within two short breaths.
"Wolf Head, they're members of the Grim Reaper Scythe Mercenaries. I've identified them."
A voice transmitted through Wolf Head's wireless earphone, rising his murderous intent.
Wolf Head took his binoculars as he hid in a dark corner and issued another order, "Observe the surrounding for any guards left and clear all the enemies in the periphery."
A few minutes later.
All six sentry guards had been removed. After which, Wolf Head and the other men got two sniper rifles and four light machine guns. They were slowly moving toward the deepest wall of the factory when the mobile in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He quickly hid and grabbed his phone. His brows deeply furrowed as he saw the message on the screen.
On his mobile screen, an open text message showed: "There are two people coming behind you, they are our allies. They will assist you in this operation."
Wolf Head turned around. Just as he was ready to observe the rear with his binoculars, two figures silently emerged at both of his sides.
"Don't, they are allies!"
Wolf Head's face changed greatly. He immediately shouted with a low vice through his wireless earphone.
As he leaned against the wall, he looked at two grim-looking strong men as shock spasmed his heart. It must be known that he had been on guard and vigilant, and was carefully watching his rear and front at all times. But, he didn't expect that someone could appear at his sides without him realizing it.
Experts! They were definitely fearsome experts!
"What's your name!"
Wolf Head repressed his shock inwardly and whispered.
"Shark!"
"Jungle Wolf!"
The two big strong men answered coldly as they quoted the nicknames they had used when fighting abroad.
Wolf Head was surprised for a moment. The two names were somewhat familiar to him.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically as his breathing became more rapid, "You're Shark, an international mercenary? The same Shark who slew the rebel army leader Hagenda in Africa, destroying nearly a hundred of his soldiers and escaping unscathed? And you're Jungle Wolf, the Gold Medal God Assassin from the Wolf Mercenaries?"
Shark and Jungle Wolf glanced at each other as they looked at Wolf Head with some astonishment.
"Do you know us?" Shark asked in a whisper.
Wolf Head looked at them incredulously. He didn't expect that it would really be them. One must know that these two were fearsome people in the world, as one of them could cause great turmoil. But how could they be in China now? Why would they become Tang Xiu's men?
Could it be? They were Tang Xiu's men then and what they did overseas were all also by Tang Xiu's orders?
In an instant, Wolf Head became more curious about Tang Xiu's identity.
Shooo!
A shadow quietly appeared around them, causing their bodies to tense up for a moment, as Tang Xiu's voice then reached their ears, "It's me!"
"Boss!"
As they saw Tang Xiu, they immediately relaxed.
Tang Xiu nodded, "I've tell you a bad news. We're being surrounded now."
Wolf Head was startled and asked in a low voice, "How could it be? Won't we make the other people inside alarmed? Besides, when we lurked here, we also observed the back and we didn't find…"
He stopped speaking abruptly because even though they had observed the surrounding, they weren't even aware of Tang Xiu, Shark and Jungle Wolf's presence.
"These people came after we arrived! A total of more than 40, with black night-coats and fully armed. We have two choices now. First, we commence the raid and get rid of those people inside first and then strike back later. Second, we solve those outside first and clean up those inside later. Choose."
Wolf Head looked at Shark and Jungle Wolf, not uttering a word. Although he was powerful, he had no assurance in a full victory against them.
Shark thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Boss, you decide. We'll definitely obey your orders."
Tang Xiu nodded, "If we solve the ones outside first, I'm afraid that the enemies inside will be alarmed. Our main target for this operation is to kill the enemies, but more importantly, is to save my friend. I suspect that my friend was kidnapped by someone inside. So, I'll sneak inside first and deal with the enemies there, and then go outside to clean up the newcomers."
"What's the operation plan, Boss!" said Wolf Head.
Tang Xiu shook his head, "Wolf Head, I'll leave the commanding of the team to you. These two will be under you, while I'll be responsible for the assassination and rescue. You don't need to manage me."
"Understood!"
Wolf Head was slightly excited. Shark and Jungle Wolf were experts, after all, and putting them under his command boosted his confidence in this battle.
Tang Xiu said, "This factory is quite large and there is a total of 22 people inside. There are two at the door that are responsible to warn the others inside in case of an attack. I'll take the responsibility to kill those two sentries while you guys will take care of the rest."
Wolf Head was astonished, "Boss, how did you know…"
Tang Xiu interrupted him and said indifferently, "You don't have to know how I know about the situation. You just need to know that I'm mistaken."
Wolf Head recalled Tang Xiu's strength and nodded slowly. He then re-analyzed the ad-hoc combat plan he had brewed and planned inside his mind. He then issued the strike orders.
The factory's gate was made of two detachable thick iron gates.
At this moment, the large iron gate was closed and two foreign mercenaries, armed with light machine guns, were chatting in low voices, talking about what was happening tonight. Their commander was missing, maybe killed along with their other superiors, causing all of them to be at a loss and tensed up.
"Bang…"
Tang Xiu darted very fast and heavily trampled on the two detachable heavy iron gates. This time, he used all of his strength, so the two detachable iron gates crashed down, smashing the two foreign mercenaries that were caught off guard. Even if they didn't die, these two foreign mercenaries would be ruined.
"Ratatat…"
Four light machine guns and two sniper rifles opened fire nearly at the same time. Inside the factory, more than ten Grim Reaper Scythe mercenary members who were gathered together had yet to react to what happened when they were shot.
At the other side, Tang Xiu had already gone into hiding. He had already used his spiritual sense to observe the factory; there was an office in the factory where Yuan Chuling was tied up inside. A black man was also there wiping his dagger as he sat on the couch.
Furthermore, there was also one foreign mercenary in the toilet who had escaped the killing as well as another four mercenaries inside. At this time, the four mercenaries already responded and counterattacked.
"Bang…"
The window glass of the factory was shattered. Tang Xiu instantly passed through and dashed toward the toilet's direction. At that moment, the foreigner inside the toilet held his gun and walked toward the toilet's door, but by the moment the door was opened, a sharp Mitsubishi army knife pierced his heart.
Immediately.
Tang Xiu appeared outside the office door and observed the surrounding with his perception. The foreigner mercenary expert holding a knife had already grabbed a pistol and got up quickly as he dashed toward the door at the side.
"Bang—"
Tang Xiu chased after him. Just as the man affixed his body to the door, Tang Xiu fiercely punched the door, his fist hitting the foreign mercenary's body, causing him to fly out upside down. He then opened the door and sprinted inside, catching his body that was about to land on the floor.
Tang Xiu then slashed the knife up and down, slaying him.
Yuan Chuling, who was tied up on a chair, secretly saw the scene. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped up. Tang Xiu's storming violent strength and ruthless actions made him look at Tang Xiu as if looking at a strange monster.
If his mouth wasn't sealed up with a tape, he would've interrogated Tang Xiu loudly- Is this the real you?
Tang Xiu smiled faintly. He looked at Yuan Chuling's shocked expression and walked toward him to tear open the tape on his mouth. He then used the Mitsubishi army knife to cut off the rope tying him, saying, "Wait here. There's still a fight at the outside, so you'll be in danger if you go out rashly now. If you want to say anything, wait until the enemies outside have been solved."
"Alright!"
Yuan Chuling hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.
Tang Xiu grabbed the pistol on the floor. He then moved out of the office through the side door and found the four foreign mercenaries resisting stubbornly. Two of them had been killed, whereas the other two were hiding in the corner and counterattacking.
"Hmph!"
The two men's position was completely exposed in front of him. So, without a moment's hesitation, Tang Xiu fired twice at the two men, blasting their heads.
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
Lines of silhouettes quickly shot toward Tang Xiu.
Wolf Head glanced at the foreigners who were shot dead and exclaimed in admiration, "Boss, if you were to enter the army, you'd definitely become the most powerful marksman there."
Udeze: "To celebrate the wedding anniversary for me and my wife, we'll be posting 2 chapters a day until January 1st."
Chapter 252: The Japanese
Tang Xiu faintly smiled, "You're good enough. The enemies were very fierce, yet they were unable to fight back against you. Anyway, be prepared and take their guns! Wait outside for the upcoming attack."
Wolf Head hesitated before saying, "Boss, it's better to take the initiative to attack rather than passively remain on the defensive."
Tang Xiu shook his head. He then took out his mobile and dialed Zhong Tiekui's number, asking, "How much time do you need?"
"Ten minutes at the most."
"Good!"
Tang Xiu ended the call. A thick murderous glint shot out from his eyes as he said with a heavy tone, "The enemies will come rushing in in ten minutes. We'll defend first, and then counterattack. I hate those whom intrude our land and kill our people. All the invading enemies must leave their lives here."
Wolf Head said, "Boss, the Grim Reaper Scythe Mercenaries have a total of more than 40 people in their ranks. They have been maintaining this number for more than a decade, whereas we've killed more than 20 of them. But you say there are more than 40 behind us... I suspect they're another force, coming behind the Grim Reaper Scythe Mercenaries."
Shark also said with a heavy tone, "The people from the Grim Reaper Scythe Mercenaries should have died. We killed 20 of them before, also killing the other 20 here. So the people outside should be from another force."
Tang Xiu replied indifferently, "No matter who they are, as long as they dare to shoot at us first, we'll claim their lives. Do remember my words, I've never have taken action against those who don't attack me, but if they do, I'll make them pay hundreds of times the price."
Wolf Head licked his lips. He suddenly felt that his future life would be extraordinarily splendid if he followed Tang Xiu. He was used to his blades, shedding blood and dodging bullets. Having experienced six months of ordinary life made him uncomfortable and tortured. And tonight was his starting point to return to those splendid days.
At the periphery of the abandoned factory.
Ichiro Yamamoto took his binoculars and observed the situation inside the factory. Next to him was a fabulous body of a masked woman, exuding a chilling aura into the air. While behind them, were four masked men in black carrying Western knives, as if they were the Japanese Ninjas in TV series.
"Kuwako, your target is Tagore. I want him alive, he absolutely mustn't die." Said Ichiro Yamamoto as he retracted the binoculars and spoke in a deep tone.
The masked woman replied in a cold voice, "I'll commit suicide if I can't accomplish the task."
Ichiro Yamamoto shook his head, "You don't have to make such a promise! Do remember that you're the sole heir of the Yamamoto clan as well as the future Schoolmaster of the Northstar One Blade School. Anyone can die, but you mustn't." [1]
The masked woman was silent, yet the firmness in her eyes was extremely thick.
Ichiro Yamamoto secretly sighed. He waved and ordered, "Attack and kill those Grim Reaper Scythe Mercenaries and grab Yuan Zhengxuan."
Instantly, the silhouettes in the surrounding dim lights of the night silently infiltrated the interior of the factory. Their movements were very strange. There were three in the group moving in coordination as they soon arrived at the deepest part of the factory.
"Stop!"
Ichiro Yamamoto stopped his pace around tens of meters away from the factory and ordered the halt through his wireless earphone. In front of him, the dead bodies of two members of the Grim Reaper Scythe Mercenaries had yet to become cold.
"They died from the wound on their necks and pierced hearts. They were killed by someone wielding a Mitsubishi army knife. Judging from the footprints on the ground, the number should be two or three; the other party is very strong. At the least, they are experts in assassination, because these two should be the sentry guards." The masked woman spoke in a deep tone.
Ichiro Yamamoto said with a heavy tone, "Check the perimeter and see if there are other dead bodies of the Grim Reaper Scythe Mercenaries."
"Report, one dead body found."
"Report, two dead people here."
"Report, a dead body here."
Reports were transmitted to Ichiro Yamamoto's ears through his wireless earphone.
His face turned a bit unsightly. The people he sent to monitor the members of the Grim Reaper Scythe Mercenaries had given him a report saying that they had returned with only 20 remaining. He thought they had grabbed Yuan Zhengxuan and was about to seize the chance of them having suffered serious losses and then launching a surprise attack. He would then exterminate these people and became the final winner.
However, this sudden development made him at a loss and didn't know how to react.
After half a minute of thinking deeply, Ichiro Yamamoto quickly hid behind a big tree and shouted, "Tagore, are you still alive? This is Ichiro Yamamoto!"
Inside the factory.
Tang Xiu furrowed his brows deeply as he heard the voice coming from outside. He turned to look at the others and asked, "Ichiro Yamamoto? Japanese?"
A cold glint flashed in Wolf Head's eyes as he said with a heavy tone, "He's the patriarch of the Yamamoto clan from Japan. A very distinguished and high standing figure. Also, he has another identity. He's a Master in Northstar One Blade School."
Tang Xiu had a bad opinion of the Japanese. The people from this country had a very strong and aggressive attitude; it could be said that it was the venereal disease of attitude. Throughout history, their nation bullied the weak and feared the strong. They had also invaded and encroached upon China once and left their bloody reign of terror on this land.
Tang Xiu took out his mobile and called Yuan Zhengxuan. He then learned from him that these Japaneses were one of the forces that had tried to snatch the core data and information from him.
"Get ready to leave none of them behind!"
Tang Xiu ordered with a grim tone and expression.
At the outside, Ichiro Yamamoto's furrowed his brows deeply. There was no reply from the inside, giving him a bad premonition. However, he had an arrogant attitude, and the manpower he brought along this time were all Northstar One Blade experts. Therefore, after waiting for two minutes, he immediately issued the order to advance.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Tongues of flame were shot out as four Northstar One Blade ninjas were directly killed by sniper rifles.
"Fuck! Be careful!"
Ichiro Yamamoto cursed. He took out his pistol from his waist holster and then continued to advance toward the factory.
The gunfight started.
Both sides were firing, but the situation remained at a stalemate. The people inside the factory didn't come out, yet the experts brought by Ichiro Yamamoto couldn't break through the net of fire and were unable to storm into the factory. Ichiro Yamamoto was angry at the moment as the two ninjas besides him suddenly fell to the ground, their heads pierced by bullets.
"What?"
Never in his dreams had he ever expected to there be still enemies behind. At the moment, fear sprouted up inside his heart. Before he could issue the retreat order, a ghost-like figure rushed out from the factory, the gunfire instantly becoming several times more intense.
"FUCK! Retreat quickly! Kill and blaze out our path with blood!"
Ichiro Yamamoto fell into a panic. He recalled the ancient saying of the Chinese that they were like turtles in a jar, completely stranded and trapped. He felt that they were the ones in such situation.
Shoo!
A strange silhouette appeared next to Ichiro Yamamoto. It was the masked woman. She said with a heavy tone, "Master, leave with me."
Ichiro Yamamoto rejected the masked woman's suggestion and scolded, "Idiot! Woman, you're so timid and afraid of danger! Even if the enemy has us surrounded, we'll blaze out our path with blood. Everyone! Move your ass to me. Move closer!"
"Stupid!"
The masked woman shouted as her figure disappeared instantly.
At this moment, Tang Xiu had already darted out from the factory. He fired three consecutive shots and killed three Japanese ninjas. As he looked at the enemy leader, he suddenly tightened his brows. In his spiritual sense, he found that those ninjas were all moving in a certain direction, whereas a vigorous figure was rushing to the side. Furthermore, the figure's speed was extremely fast. In addition, he hadn't seen anyone amongst cultivators apart from him who could have such a fast speed.
"Want to escape, eh?"
Tang Xiu's shadow flashed as he rushed toward the masked woman.
About ten seconds later, Tang Xiu had blocked the masked woman's path. The gun in his hand was also aimed at her. He pulled the trigger.
"Bang, bang, bang…"
The three bullets were blocked by a half-moon blade, causing sparks to flash everywhere. The masked woman moved with a strange footwork as her body flashed constantly. A moment after, she was already seven or eight meters away.
Tang Xiu's face turned more serious. The other party was able to catch the trajectory of the bullets and was even able to escape the moment she blocked them. This indicated that the strength of the other party was even more powerful than he had thought.
"You can never escape. If you don't want to die, obediently surrender!"
Tang Xiu stuffed the pistol into his pocket and took out the Mitsubishi army knife, rushing toward the masked woman. His speed was almost twice faster than hers. Within just a few breaths, he blocked her path once again.
"Hai yah…"
The masked woman shouted loudly in a tender voice. The half-moon shaped blade in her hands created layers upon layers of blade shades as it tried to slice off and hack toward Tang Xiu. Her blade play was extremely uncanny as it attacked in a straight course and aimed at all vital points on Tang Xiu's body.
"Clang, clang, clang…"
Tang Xiu evaded the attacks and continued using his dagger to block it. In a blink of an eye, he took back his dagger, seven or eight cracks appearing on it.
"Hmph!"
Tang Xiu circulated the star force throughout his body and stopped the blade slashed at him by the other party in an instant. His body dashed toward the masked woman and moved as though a shadow following her body, whereas the Mitsubishi army knife in his hand blocked her attacks toward his vital points and then pierced her left shoulder. Tang Xiu's another hand formed a fist and exploded into the woman's abdomen severely.
"Bang…"
The masked woman's body flew upside down, blood spraying from her mouth as she then smashed to the ground heavily. Tang Xiu's body flashed and appeared in front of her, quickly sealing several of her acupoints in a very fast movement and picking her up.
"I told you, you can never escape."
Tang Xiu reached out toward the masked woman's mask, turning quite surprised immediately after. The masked woman had a breathtaking beauty, and there was also a fingernail-sized butterfly pattern between her eyebrows. The pattern coupled with her beauty caused her to look devilishly enchanting.
"Kill me!"
The masked woman spoke in an ice-cold voice. Even though she was shocked to find that she couldn't move her body, but she felt that falling to the enemy's hand was no different than death. At this point, what she most regretted was that the poison capsule in her teeth had already been forcefully taken out by her father a year ago.
Tang Xiu coldly smiled, "You wanna die? Even if you want to, wanting to die is very difficult after falling into my hands. I forgot to tell you, I'm also a doctor. Even if one were to bite their tongue in front of me, trying to commit suicide, cutting off their own throat or stabbing their own heart, I can still make them live for hours. So you can give up on killing yourself, else, I'll make you taste the most vicious and painful torture in this world in the last hours of your life."
[1] The raws refer to Hokushin Ittō-ryū or Northstar One-Blade-School in English.

So you can give up on killing yourself, else, I’ll make you taste the most vicious and painful torture in this world in the last hours of your life.”
