Return Of The Demon 74 Massacre

The steps ended at a big hall. Peeking inside, he saw many people of various cultivation stages, all the way from the third stage to eighth stage qi condensation realm. Almost half of them were playing with women. Some were playing cards, drinking or singing and dancing. He could hear some sobs coming from nearby rooms. They were all more interested in enjoying the vices in life than anything else.

Bai Yun knew that what he was planning was most likely suicide, but he was confident of killing as many people as he could before escaping. Their speeds were definitely no match for his.

When he reached the entrance to the hall, he put away his sword and took out two flying daggers in each hand. In a single motion, he threw the two daggers out, before following them with his sword. Even though he had not used them in this life, in his past life, he was very proficient in hidden weapons. Due to the fact that he hadn't trained specially for them in this life, it was a far cry from his skills in the past life though.

The first dagger that he threw out kept a low profile and flew by the ground quickly. The second was slightly slower, and flew in an arch well above the heads of all the people here. Bai Yun had coated the blades with black paint everywhere except the edge, so it did not catch anyone's eyes, as it moved quickly and did not reflect any light. But the color of the blade was not the same as that of the roof, it would have still been possible to see the blade, but the entire gang was too inebriated to do so.

Bai Yun had sent both of these blades at the only eight stage qi condensation cultivator in the room. He had to quickly take care of the strongest people here as fast as he could, or if he was surrounded by them it could get dangerous.

The first blade wove through the room below the people and tables very quickly. In a second it was near the eighth stage gang member. Since Bai Yun did not have a direct line of sight to him, it was slightly off in its path. So he gave the dagger a tug with the soul tendril he had attached to it, and it started to curve beautifully in the air.

The man Bai Yun had targeted was standing at a table drinking and pus.h.i.+ng down a woman. The woman below him was simply lying down there as if she had lost her life. The man had no defenses at all, so he was completely unprepared when the dagger sliced through the tendons in his legs.

With a scream, the man went down on one knee. Due to the noise in the hall, only the people near him were able to react, but even then they had no idea what happened. They all turned to stare at the man as he knelt on the floor. Due to their intrinsic belief that no one would be stupid enough to attack them in broad daylight, and the fact that the knife had long since disappeared, not a single person expected that they were under attack.

Bai Yun's timing was excellent. Just then, the second dagger had also reached the man. In an instant, the dagger, powered by the remaining two soul tendrils, plunged downward at an incredible speed. The sudden sound of the dagger startled them as everyone but the eight stage qi condensation realm gangster looked up. But before any of them could react, the dagger buried itself in the man's neck, severing his spine and killing him instantly.

By then Bai Yun had already jumped right into the room. In a single swipe, he beheaded one of the gang members closest to the stairs. Even by then no one had reacted. In his left hand, he held a short dagger, and his right hand he held a sword. Bai Yun then dashed into the hall and started to attack the gangsters one by one.

It was only after he killed three other gangsters that they reacted to his presence. "Enemy attack!" One of them screamed before they took out their weapons and turned to face Bai Yun.

As he shouted, Bai Yun heard some commotion from the other rooms. One after the other a few people came out of the other rooms. Almost all of them were naked. Bai Yun saw two eighth stage qi cultivation realm gangsters and the rest who walked out were all in the seventh stage of qi cultivation. Some of them had left their weapons in the hall and was rus.h.i.+ng to get them.

A few of the people in the hall ran towards him. One of them shouted "Who the h.e.l.l are you." before rus.h.i.+ng at him. Bai Yun simply stabbed out with his sword and stabbed through the gangster's heart instead of answering him.

After he pulled out the sword, he rushed towards the other gangsters. They were all simply rus.h.i.+ng in without knowing anything about Bai Yun. Bai Yun weaved his way through the gang and quickly dispatched of them with his sword.

It was then that Bai Yun found himself surrounded. Around him were five of the strongest cultivators of the gang. They had sent the low level members to fight him first so as to surround him as well as exhaust his qi. Bai Yun knew what they were planning, but in his enraged state, he didn't care. Besides he had the confidence to escape from anything these people would throw at him.

Without delay, the five of them thrust their swords at Bai Yun. There was no martial technique involved in it, just a simple attack. But all five of them were poised cleverly around him so that there was nowhere for him to run. Obviously these people had executed this technique multiple times already and were quite proficient at it.

Bai Yun did not panic. In a single instant, Bai Yun ducked a bit and then pivoted on his left foot and quickly rotated. In a single motion, he swiped four of the swords away from him. But he was not enough. The fifth sword had slipped through his defense and sliced his shoulder.

Ignoring the pain, Bai Yun leaped forward. His sword stabbed itself onto the neck of the man who had sliced him. The sword entered his throat and came out the other end. Bai Yun pulled out the sword in a single motion and ran past the gangster. The man stared at Bai Yun as he clutched at his throat and tried to speak, but he collapsed a moment later.

Bai Yun ran straight to the wall of the hall and ran straight up the wall, before pus.h.i.+ng off of it and somersaulting and landing on the floor. The other members of the group who tried to ambush him had run towards the wall, and they all found themselves between the wall and Bai Yun, unable to surround him like before.

Even as he landed, Bai Yun thrust out with the dagger in his left hand. It impaled on the neck of the last man in the group and he pulled it out, killing him almost instantly. Then he took a single step towards another member of the gang. Bai Yun used his sword to knock away the man's sword, before sharply rotating. He used the rotation to slice his dagger across the man's neck, nearly cutting it in two.

Bai Yun left him to die before heading towards the final two members of the top group of the gang. With three members already dead, the remaining two had no chance to resist Bai Yun. They died before they could even scratch his clothes.

Bai Yun then turned back, only to see a mult.i.tude of knives and daggers flying at him. He quickly used his two weapons to deflect as many of the weapons as he could, giving priority to his vital organs. But he was not able to deflect all of them. One of them landed on his abdomen, but thankfully missed his stomach and any other organ. Another one landed on his chest and stabbed into a rib. It did not penetrate his lung, but his rib screamed in pain every time he took a breath.

Bai Yun then used wind motion and ran into the midst of the rest of the gang. By now the entire gang had come out, but he did not care. He also did not pull out the two knives stabbed into him. It might exasperate his wounds and leave him in great pain, but he had no time to waste. Speed was paramount in the current situation.

When Bai Yun appeared in their midst like a ghost, the gang was taken aback. They had never faced an existence like Bai Yun before. All of their fights were either with weaklings or mortals or between gangs. The short delay in their reaction was deadly, as with two swings of his sword, Bai Yun killed the final two seventh stage qi cultivation realm gangsters. Now there were only about twenty gangsters left, with the highest level of them being only the sixth stage of qi cultivation.

Bai Yun elbowed the nearest gangster to him with his right hand. When he stumbled back from the force, Bai Yun's sword sliced across his neck.

Currently, Bai Yun found himself in the middle of over ten gangsters. To anyone else, it was a dangerous position. He decided to think of it as wherever he attacked, there was someone to kill.

First Bai Yun would use his right hand or sword to incapacitate a gangster before using the dagger in his left hand to kill them. It only took Bai Yun two moves to kill one person. It was as effortless as cutting an onion. Of course, the other gangsters did not stand by and attacked him at the same time, which Bai Yun mostly dodged, or if needed blocked.

In a few minutes, the more than ten gangsters that surrounded him had been killed. But he didn't escape scot-free either. There was another gash and a dagger on his back now. Bai Yun turned around. There were only nine gangsters left. They were cowards and did not surround him earlier. Bai Yun put away his dagger and sword as he had a premonition of what's to come.

"Run!" One of them shouted. The next instant all of them ran off. Three of them ran to the left of Bai Yun towards the rear entrance, while the other six ran to the right.

Bai Yun leaped to his right while turning in mid air. In an instant, three flying daggers appeared in his left hand. With a flick of his wrist, all three of them flew towards the ones fleeing towards the rear door, and then buried themselves on their knees, crippling them. All three of them fell to the ground and then started to crawl toward the exit.

By now, Bai Yun had reached the other six. He reached out with his two hands and caught the heads of two gangsters, before clunking them together to knock them out.

Bai Yun's sword reappeared in his right hand once again. He leaped forward toward the last four. They were defeated and killed in a second.

Bai Yun stood there panting for a moment before he turned around. He walked slowly over to the two gangsters he had knocked out before stabbing their throats with his sword. He then walked back towards the final three who were crawling away from him.

Bai Yun plucked out the three knives that were stabbing him as he walked. As he did so copious amounts of blood started to pour out. But he quickly sealed up his body to reduce the damage.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you doing this to us?"

"Please let us go."

The three cowards begged Bai Yun. But he did not pause even for a moment and kept on walking towards them. A second later three heads flew into the sky and he beheaded them.

Bai Yun looked around at the chaos he had caused. From his perception, he could see that all the gangsters in the house were dead. Blood pooled and covered the ground. With each step, he was leaving behind b.l.o.o.d.y footprints. Some of the girls that the gangsters had kidnapped were hiding in nearby rooms or under the tables and peeking out at him. He could see nothing but terror in their eyes. The masked Bai Yun in the black robe covered with blood standing in the middle of the ma.s.sacre looked like the grim reaper to them. He even heard some of them retching from the sight of so much blood and gore.

Without saying anything, he walked away to the door. He was tired and getting a little dizzy from the blood loss. Now that the adrenaline had worn off after the battle, every breath felt like a knife was stabbing into his chest to Bai Yun. He was nearly stumbling with each step.

"Please wait." He heard a voice call out to him.

Bai Yun looked behind to see the older girl who was fighting off the gang leader upstairs. She must have come down once the chaos had ended.

"Could you tell us who you are. Even if we cannot help you, we can at least pray for you." She replied.

Bai Yun looked at her. Even now he could see no horror in her eyes. Only a clear eye. Speaking of which Bai Yun recalled that even earlier he could only see an endless fighting spirit and no despair when she was fighting back against the gang leader. For a while, he simply stared at her.

"I am no one."

And then he sipped out into the night.
