CHAPTER 14-ANOTHER REVENGE
882 Words
Kyoshō came from behind to surprise attack at Hitokiri-Kenshi as currently, Hitokiri-Kenshi was facing back at them after he sliced Kyokō's throat. However, he noticed it already. So he quickly steps aside to evade it, and then slams very fast; back and forth at Kyoshō's body for at least 8 times with qi-energy. And for final strikes, he stabs Kyoshō from his back through his abdomen when they were facing back to back at each other. Same with his brother, Kyoshō also was slayed by Hitokiri-Kenshi. And the rest of Kyokō and Kyoshō men, all have been slaughtered as well, as Hitokiri-Kenshi can't let them live after they saw him kill their boss and use the secret sword-skills. Even he killed everyone on the scene, but the rest of the men at Hiro-gen escort agency were left alive as he didn’t eliminate all Kyokō and Kyoshō men by giving them a chance to re-build their escort agency since their leaders are gone. However, it can still be as famous as before, it depends on their ability. Since then, Hitokiri-Kenshi have killed almost half of Ryohyō's accomplices who were involved in eliminating Unkensō and Chōbun according to the mission that he received. He started to wonder who is the one that hired him to eliminate those evil people that connected to Ryohyō since that person never left his name there, only “anonymous person”. That person only left a note there every time he wanted Hitokiri-Kenshi to eliminate them. The note was written that the target was one of the culprits who destroyed Unkensō and killed his Shishō. So why does that person want to do that? Does that person have the same hatred like he did? But who he is. Is that a former disciple from Unkensō or maybe one of the families of former Unkensō disciples that seeks revenge? All that question pops up inside his head as he still can't figure out who that person's identity is. Even though he was trying to find out, that guy never showed his face. Since then, he has gained a lot of reputation and became very famous in the pugilist world even though he is just a mercenary. That's why people called him the “Legendary Hitokiri-Kenshi” as if he was the living legend that never failed in eliminating his target, no matter how outnumbered they were. One day like usual, he received another mission from that “anonymous person” again. However, this time was much different as well as the previous mission in which this time he was requested to kill one of the Ki-Koku ministers as once was the minister from En-Koku. His name is “Chinhō (Chén-Fang)”. So he went to investigate a little about Chinhō's background and it turns out, this Chinhō used to be one of the En-Koku ministers and now became Ki-Koku minister. The rumor said that Chinhō was so obsessed with the martial-art so he liked to learn some martial-art from different people in the pugilist world. However, when one day he heard about Mugen-Keisho, he was so eager to learn it. That’s why he joined Ryohyō to eliminate Unkensō so he would have a chance to learn from that book. When Chōbun was killed on that day, he didn’t join the fight directly but still he sent some of his best men to help Ryohyō as Ryohyō requested him to help. No matter what, after Unkensō went down, as Ryohyō promised him, Chinhō did get a chance to see that fake book including Mukeifūken-ryū. Unlike Ryohyō, Chinhō can only master the Mukeifūken-ryū until level 6 as he wasn't a martial-arts prodigy just like Ryohyō or Hitokiri-Kenshi. Even above the level 5 were all fake but still, one person had breakthrough to the highest level. But for Chinhō, no matter how hard he forces himself, he still can’t reach the highest level. Every time he tries to breakthrough to the next level, he can only hurt himself by vomiting the blood as if his body told him this is the highest level that he can obtain. That's why to protect himself and his families, Chinhō recruited some powerful martial-arts pugilists to work for him as he realized what he did in the past, one day the retribution will come to him. So, he prepared everything just for one day. Chinhō's residence was inside the imperial city of Ki-Koku empire palace. Now Hitokiri-Kenshi was coming from the front door of Chinhō residence. 2 guards are guarding his place.
Guard 1: “Hey, stop… This is minister Chin's residence. You can’t pass…”
Without saying any words, he grabbed his sword to attack them. Certainly, both of the guards are pulling their swords either, as they won’t let Hitokiri-Kenshi pass. Then with two strikes, he took down those guards without much effort. In a moment, he was already standing in front of Chinhō residence as he broke the door. Of course, it alerted all the people inside the house including Chinhō. After getting inside Chinhō's front yard, some Chinhō men were already surrounding him.
Hitokiri-Kenshi: “Back off… All I want is only Chinhō’s head…”
Servants 1: “How dare you??? Get him…!!!”
