The assassin immediately jumped forward before turning his body around throwing out a dagger. For someone to snick upon him it must be someone powerful. No one from his team would do that nor did they have the ability to do so.
Swish
The dagger traveled through the air with great speed and precision.
Kareem lifts his hand catching the dagger between his fingers.
Looking at the dagger between his fingers he threw it right back at the assassin who had just landed on the tree in front of him.
Ding
The Assassin took out another dagger hitting the dagger up into the air before catching it. His figure then fades back into the darkness of the night.
"Oh to think the target would come to us. How nice of you."
"Target? I see so this wasn't a coincidence" after saying that a sword appeared in his hand with his eyes turning blood red.
He turned his gaze to the side where the voice originated from earlier. Kicking off from the tree he appeared in the air above the assassin on the tree.
With both hands on his sword holding it firmly he muttered "Ryūtsuisen (龍槌閃, Dragon Hammer Flash) " using the momentum from the fall he swung his blade down on the assassin's shoulder cutting him in half.
He landed on the tree kicking off once more he locked on to his next target with his hands placed on his sword sheath.
"Ryūtsuisen ● Zan (龍槌閃・惨, Dragon Hammer Flash: Disaster)"
Traveling through the air he initiated a downward stab to the assassin's head. The blade traveled straight through the assassin's head killing him immediately.
The other assassins seeing this panicked.
"Attack him immediately before he gets the chance to attack again" the leader of the assassin's shouted out lividly.
With daggers in their hands, the rest of the assassins jumped forward with a cold glint in their eyes.
Kareem who just pulled his sword out the head of the assassin he killed took a stance.
The Assassin's appeared right in front of him swinging their daggers down heavily.
"Ryūkansen (龍巻閃, Dragon Coil Flash)" spinning his body around with his sword in hand he attacked in all directions using the momentum and centrifugal force to the strengthen the sword swing taking there heads right off.
The only one remain was the leader of the assassin. Seeing his man just died he turned around to retreat. Taking off in an instant his figure disappeared from the tree appearing miles away.
Kareem's figure disappeared from the tree in a yellow flash appearing right in front of the assassin.
"What?"
Kareem's hand grabbed onto his neck lifting him up in the air.
"How?" he asked with unwillingness in his eyes.
"Since your about to die, I'll tell you. Earlier when you throw you dagger at me I marked it with my teleportation seal. In your next life, be more careful and choose your enemy more wisely."
His eyes turned mangekyou as he looked directly into the eyes of the assassin.
"Now then.... tell me who you are and why your little group was trying to assassinate me."
The assassin eye's turned lifeless as he started to answer all of Kareem's questions.
"I am Lai Zhen from Blood Hall. We were hired by The Supreme Flame Sect to kill the one who killed Zhang Tianzo."
"Blood Hall? Tell me about blood hall and where its located."
"Blood Hall is an assassination organization who kills whoever we are hired to kill. Blood Hall is located in the center of Tai Jin Mountain hidden under a mist formation."
"How strong is the master of blood hall?"
"Saint 9-dan Pinnacle" the assassin answered in a lifeless voice.
"I see. Thank you for the information as a reward I'll make your death painless" after saying that he crushed the assassin's head.
Letting go of the body he let it fell directly to the ground.
"Supreme Flame Sect I let you go once. I will not let you again."
He shook his head before saying " It seems one must get rid of their enemies at their roots. Original I hope you learn from this. As for blood hall, I'll show you how the Anbu goes about assassination."
