Chapter 33: The Assassin's Pursuit of the Soul

  For several days, Chu Zifeng had been practicing "Liet Ruli Jue" in the early morning and attending classes, with nothing else to do.

  "Your Majesty, your phone has been off for days and I've been searching everywhere for you."

  At noon, Lin Shaojun came to find Chu Zifeng, which made Chu Zifeng a little unhappy. He said: "Shaojun, didn't I tell you that if I don't look for you, you shouldn't come looking for me?"

  "Your Majesty, as the matter is of great importance, I had no choice but to come and inform you personally."

  "What's up?"

  Lin Shaojun saw that there was no one around and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard that Yi Tianya and Huo Tingyu have already returned to Yanjing with the other three. They should be back at school in a few days."

  "Oh! Unable to kill me by sending someone else, you're actually going to take action yourself. Hmph, the fourth young master of Yan University is indeed awesome!"

  "What? Your Majesty, you say they sent four people to kill you?"

  "It's about what happened a few days ago, but I've already taken care of it."

  "He's NND, those bastards, I'm going to go fight them."

  Lin Shaoyun turned around to go find Yi Tianya and the others, but was stopped by Chu Zifeng, who said: "Don't be so impulsive, I've heard that the Evil Wolf Gang is full of experts. With your current strength, going there would be equivalent to seeking death."

  "Your Majesty, we can't just wait for them to come and attack us!"

  "If I were so easy to kill, your life wouldn't belong to me either. Alright, the matter between Yitianya and Huotingyu's four people will be handled by myself, you should focus on practicing instead, three days later is the day of the grand martial arts competition, how's the practice of the 'Assassinating God' first style I taught you?"

  Lin Shaojun furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "As the master said, I have only just mastered the first three moves and they are not yet mature. However, facing Li Gang and his gang is still more than enough."

  "Alright, you have three days to master the first three moves. Since Huo Tingyu and the others are back, I'm sure they'll show up at the upcoming martial arts competition. I can't guarantee what will happen then."

  "With monarchs around, those jesters can't stir up any waves."

  "Haha, Shao Jun, don't think of me as a myth, actually in some sense, I'm just like you, an ordinary person."

  Chu Zi's words had just fallen when he saw Xiao Jing walking over.

  "Zi Feng, shouldn't we be leaving?"

  Yesterday, Xiao Jing made an appointment with Chu Zi Feng to go out of town today. Because three days later, the work for the big martial arts competition has not been painted yet, so this matter must be solved today.

  Chu Zi Feng knew that with Xiao Jing's current skills, she couldn't paint the feeling she wanted in this bustling metropolis. Only a quiet place could help her, so they had to go to the suburbs.

  Chu Zi Feng said to Lin Shao Jun: "You go and do your thing, don't look for me these few days, we'll meet at the big martial arts competition three days later."

  Lin Shaojun smiled and said: "Alright! Your Majesty, I'll go cultivate first."

  After Lin Shaojun left, Xiao Jing asked: "Zifeng, why did that classmate call you monarch?"

  "Uh, he's my online friend, and my username is Jun Zhu!"

  As soon as he walked out of school, a BMW stopped at the school gate. Xiao Jing opened the car door and said, "Zi Feng, get in."

  "Is this your car?"

  A student drives a BMW, which is really a bit exaggerated. Moreover, according to Huang Xiang's words, all members of Xiao Jing's family are engaged in education work. Even if her grandfather was the Minister of Education, it would be impossible for him to buy his granddaughter a BMW!

  "Of course it's not mine, it's my mom's."

  Chu Zi Feng didn't want to ask more questions. People like Xiao Jing, who were the children of high-ranking officials, weren't someone Chu Zi Feng could understand anyway.

  Driving directly to the foot of a mountain called Lingyun Mountain in the suburbs, Xiao Jing asked after getting off the car: "Zi Feng, are we going up the mountain?"

  "Hmm! I heard from Zhi Bai and others that there is a stone cave temple on this mountain, the environment of that place should be pretty good."

  The Shiku Temple is located on the waist of Lingyun Mountain. When Chu Zifeng and his companion arrived, they saw a temple built with stones, no, to be exact, it should be said that the temple was built inside a large cave. The cave was spacious and had Buddha statues carved everywhere, and the sound of chanting came from within the temple.

  "Quiet Xiaojie, now follow what I taught you and draw the largest Buddha image. However, you must remember that when you start drawing, what's in your heart is not to draw a Buddha image, but to draw a Buddha's heart. As long as you can bring out that kind of compassionate feeling, the Buddha's heart will naturally emerge. That means, tomorrow you can hand in your work."

  Xiao Jing nodded, in order to maintain her own state of mind, she didn't say much either. She immediately took out all the painting tools and sat down on a relatively clean stone, starting to paint Buddha images.

  Chu Zifeng wouldn't go disturb Xiao Jing, as the most taboo thing for someone painting is to be disturbed. So, Chu Zifeng sat down under a big pine tree beside him, waiting for Xiao Jing's first masterpiece.

  Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour has passed!

  Chu Zi Feng's eyes looked up at the cliff above the stone temple several times, and on that cliff, a monk in black robes stood there all the time. The monk was about twenty years old, but his face had a fierce expression.

  At first, Chu Zi Feng didn't pay much attention to it, but the monk's pair of fierce eyes kept staring at Chu Zi Feng, making him feel a bit strange. So he got up and walked towards the cliff.

  "I didn't expect that in this pure Buddhist land there would exist an evil god like you! How should I address you, little monk?" Chu Zi Feng asked the fierce and evil monk.

  "I am not a monk here."

  Xiong and Shang stared at Chu Zifeng with a pair of furious eyes, as if they were about to make their move the next moment.

  "Oh! If you're not a monk, then why are you in this stone cave temple, still wearing monk's robes?"

  "What a person fears most is waiting for death. I was waiting in the Stone Cave Temple's main hall, frightened and intimidated, then killed him."

  "So you're here to kill someone."

  "That's right, I've been here for a whole year, just to kill him."

  "Got a grudge?"

  "No."

  "Is there resentment?"

  "Nor is there."

  "Why kill the host here?"

  "Because he said I couldn't kill him, so I'm going to kill him."

  This guy is really interesting.

  Chu Zi Feng didn't ask him why he wanted to kill the host here, nor did he ask who he was. He just said: "I heard that the host here is a master, if you can kill him, then you won't have to wait for a year's time."

  "Even if it takes ten years, twenty years, I will wait because I want to kill him."

  "What's your name?"

  "Soul Reaper, also known as Assassin."

  "Are you organized?"

  "No, it was a year ago when I wanted to kill someone, but the host here stopped me. He advised me to turn back and make amends, but I wanted to kill him. He said I couldn't kill him, so I waited until I could kill him and also became a fake monk."

  Lin Shaojun is already a weirdo, but this vengeful spirit is even weirder than Lin Shaojun. Moreover, his willpower is probably not inferior to Lin Shaojun's.

  "If you are willing to entrust your life to me, I can guarantee that today will be as you wish."

  "What gives you the right."

  Sigh...

  Chu Zi's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Zhui Hun, saying: "Killing someone is easy, but for those without the power to do so, it's very difficult. How about it, are you thinking of killing the host here, or would you like me to kill you right now?"

  "I'd be willing to give you my life if you can teach me how to kill."

  "Alright, from now on, call me Your Highness, and I'll teach you how to kill."

  "Sovereign."

  By nightfall, Xiao Jing's painting was complete, and Xiao Jing never expected that at the same time his masterpiece was born, on the cliff, Chu Zi Feng had created a future world-renowned super killer.

  The second style of Usurping God finally has a successor, Lin Shaojun, a Soul Chaser, will become one of Chu Zifeng's top generals in the future.

  That night, the abbot of Shiku Temple was murdered, with just one knife cutting his throat. After the monks in the temple reported the crime to the police, they didn't arrive until the next day and couldn't find any clues in the room where the abbot was killed!
