Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

"I believed my concealment skills to be quite capable and I didn\'t make any mistakes while tailing you. So, how did you discover me?" A cold and icy feminine voice rang out as a person with a petite figure wearing a bronze fox mask walked out from behind a giant tree not too far from Ling Chen.

At this moment, even if she didn\'t want to believe it, Sima Yun knew that the wandering Monk had truly discovered her and was not trying to trick her.

That final sentence from the monk had completely shattered her mental fortitude and all her doubts about him guessing wildly.

She was unable to understand how a weak little monk could discover her. Right now, what she wanted to know where her concealment went wrong, in order to make improvements after today\'s mission.

Revealing herself, Sima Yun discovered that the bald wandering monk was looking at her with an amiable and compassionate smile on his face.

He had a string of large round Buddhist beads hung by his neck as he stood there calmly with his palms placed together. His appearance alone made him seemed like he was an accomplished monk.

"How did you discover me?, and How did you know I was a woman and had a knife scar on my stomach?" Sima Yun asked again with a dark face as her body was emanating a strong killing intent.

Aside from wanting to know how the monk was able to discover her, the thing that he wanted to know the most was how did the Monk know she had a knife scar on her stomach.

This was something only she knew. As for the person who gave her that scar, he was already long dead. Also, she has never met the monk before until ten days ago.

How could he know about that?

Furthermore, from the first day she was following the monk, she had never left his side, not even to shower. So, how the heck did the monk found out about the scar?

As for whether or not the monk in front of her posed a threat, that was something that never crossed her mind.

How was it possible for a Bronze Shadow Guard to be defeated and bested by a little monk who didn\'t have an ounce of true qi energy in his body.

"Amitabha, Amitabha. Your hostile tendencies and killing intent are so high that they are piercing through the Heaven Benefactor. You should purify yourself." Ling Chen said as he placed his hands together and put on the appearance of a wise monk.

Ling Chen has been playing the wise wandering monk persona for so long that sometimes he even believed that he was actually a real monk.

Hearing Ling Chen\'s answer, Sima Yun felt as though the monk was playing with her. As such she coldly glared at him and said: "Little Monk, maybe you don\'t know who I am, but I\'ll give you some advice anyway. Be smart and tell me how did you discover me as well as how you knew that I have a knife scar on my stomach. If not, your corpses will be lost in the wilderness."

Even though her mission was to spy on the wandering monk and report to the higher-ups, she could still kill the monk if she felt like he was a danger to the Sun God Palace or her covered was blown.

Though the Shadow Guard was the most powerful dark organization in the Sun Demi-God\'s Domain, not many people have seen them in actions, and the ones that have didn\'t live long to tell the tales.

As such, the moment the monk discovered her and even knew about her knife scar, his fate was already sealed. They did their best to remain in the shadow and many people still think that they were a myth.

Ling Chen seemed not to care about the Sima Yun\'s threat. He instead met her cold gaze with a compassionate smile on his face and performed a Buddhist chant before saying. "Amitabha, Oh Merciful Budha. Benefactor, Budha teaches us not to kill any living being, nor should incite another to kill. Do not injure any being, either strong or weak. Are you really going to ignore the teaching of Buddha benefactor."

Instead of calming Sima Yun, Ling Chen\'s answered seemed to have angered her even more.

"Foolish Monk, I only follow one teaching and that is the teaching of the Shadow Guard!." Sima Yun angry exclaimed with murderous intent as she unsheathed her dagger and pounced towards Ling Chen to give him a taste of the Shadow Guard\'s teaching.

Swoosh!

As if it had passed through space, she instantly arrived before Ling Chen. The small dagger whirled as it thrust forward like a viper towards Ling Chen\'s chest.

Ling Chen could clearly tell that she was using some sort of powerful movement battle technique which vastly increased her speed. Nonetheless, he didn\'t care. She was no different from an ant in front of him.

Sima Yun didn\'t want to kill Ling Chen yet, she just wanted to teach him a lesson that\'s why she didn\'t aim at any of his vital organs.

However, before the dagger could even pierce through Ling Chen\'s stomach, Sima Yun felt as if her body was stuck. She was unable to move at all like she was chained down by an invisible chain.

No matter how much she struggled, she still couldn\'t move an inch.

As if realized something, Sima Yun\'s face suddenly turned pale in fright under the mask as she blurted out " Spatial Domain!"

At this moment, Sima Yun was shaken and felt a primal fear.

"Amitabha, just relax benefactor, this poor monk only wants to know why are you following me." Ling Chen said as he placed his right palm over Sima Yun\'s head to read her memories.

If he wanted to read some superficial memories about what happened five to six days ago, he just had to stare into her eye profoundly while activating his left eye power.

However, if he wanted to go deeper into her memory and her soul, he\'d have to make physical contact with her.

"Amitabha, it seems like a certain part of your memories are sealed and if I forcefully tried to unlock it to read your memories, your mind might blow up."

Ling Chen was a little bit surprised when he saw that. It seemed like that little girl came from a really powerful organization. Not many influences have the means to seal their subordinates\' memories, preventing anyone from reading their minds if they\'re captured.

Even though Ling Chen had failed to read her memories, upon hearing what he was trying to do, she felt her entire body become slowly drenched in a cold sweat.

Not to mention a Shadow Guard like herself, even an ordinary warrior knew just how taboo it was to let someone else read your memories

"Amitabha, Now that I can\'t you read your memories, would benefactor be so kind and tell this poor monk why you are following me for the past ten days." Ling Chen said while looking at Sima Yun with an amiable smile on his face.

However, in the eyes of Sima Yun, Ling Chen\'s amiable smile looked conniving and evil. She felt as she was being stared a predator instead of a monk.

"Who are you?" Asked Sima Yun in a quivering voice.

"Amitabha, I ask the questions here benefactor." Replied Ling Chen while still holding his palms together like a real monk.

"You\'d better kill me because no matter what you do, I\'ll never tell you anything." Answered Sima Yun with a resolute look on her face.

"Amitabha, let me know when you are ready to talk then benefactor."

Having said that, Ling Chen released the spatial domain and back up a little bit.

Seeing that she was able to move, Sima Yun was ready to make a run for it when suddenly, two rays of red light appeared in front of her… those two rays of light came from the Monk\'s right eye. One was blue while the other was blood red.

"W-what?"

This sight caused Sima Yun to freeze in shock as she was staring at the red and blue light coming from the monk\'s eyes which instantly entered her body.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Sima Yun, who was preparing to escape, suddenly gave a horrific shriek. She felt as though her body was being stabbed by tens of thousands of blades when the two lights entered her body. Immense agony fiercely beamed from every single corner of his body and made him let out a painful whine

As she howled in pain, she pressed against her chest with her hands, then fell to the ground, rolling around in pain.

A wave of pain emanated from a mysterious force digesting and crushing the insides of her body. As her internal organs began to rupture and explode, blood began to stream from her seven orifices, splattering the ground with blood.

His entire body started to shake tremendously, as her vision also became blurry until it completely became a shade of crimson red.

She was in extreme pain. It was a pain that no real word could express, a pain that far surpassed a human\'s capability to endure. She just wanted it to stop.

However, no matter how much she screamed and yelled, the pain didn\'t stop but instead became even more intense.

"Amitabha, benefactor, I suggest you tell this poor monk what he wants to know if you want the pain to stop." Calmly said, Ling Chen.

"Don\'t worry, take your time and think about it. This poor monk isn\'t in a hurry."

"This poor monk isn\'t a murderer, so you don\'t have to worry about dying. This poor monk will heal all your injuries before you could die and start over again until the benefactor changes her mind." He added as his lips curled up, and revealed a very…. demonic smile at Sima Yun. It was as if he was enjoying it.

At this moment, Sima Yun had finally realized that Ling Chen wasn\'t a little weak Monk. He was simply a devil in a monk\'s clothing.

" I.....I\'ll talk." Sima Yun said in a stuttering voice.

She didn\'t care anymore, she just wanted the pain to stop and die a painless death. Just thinking about going through that pain over and over shattered her mental fortitude.
