Chapter 55 - Assassination

The Emperor agreed because he realized that Shen Hua is his only option. Shen Wei would never give the cure to him, since if he does, he loses the assurance that the Imperial family will not kill him. The idea of ​​Shen Hua seems strange, on the other hand has great chances of working.

"Okay!", Shen Hua took a paper and quill, which were on the table, he wrote the name of fifteen different snakes. "Hunting all this snakes, call me. I have an appointment tonight, so I'm leaving.", Shen Hua handed the list to the Emperor and headed for the door.

As he was about to leave he turned, "Don't get too heavy with my Big Brother.", Shen Hua said leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

In the main residence of the Min family several shadows appeared. Running through the streets, up the roofs, into the houses, these shadows were searching for something. While searching one of the shadows entered a building.

A man dressed completely in black is searching inside one of property, he has made no noise even though he is running, and with his clothes he is virtually invisible. As he ran, the man movements began slowing, he stopped and looked down at your body, your body was covered with several threads.

He began to remove them when he felt a strong thirst for blood coming toward him. When he looked straight ahead he stood looking at him from the end of the hall. Most terrifying are the man eyes, like a snake's with blood-red iris they do not shine, but reflect the little light from the moon. The man felt like a prey, waiting for the slaughter.

The person bent down, putting one leg forward and the other leg behind the body, in a fighting possession, at that moment the man noticed a sword stuck in his

waist. The figure held the sword with one hand and placed the other over its hilt.

The man did not move, it seemed that he had accepted death. Small lightning bolts left the figure's legs before she leaped toward the man, the figure stopped just behind the man with the sword still in its sheath in the same position that was before, when the figure stood up the man's head dropped to the floor.

'Your skills are really useful.', Shen Hua told Ichimaru as his eyes return to normal. 'Hmm! Who said you could wear them?', Ichimaru said irritably.

Due to the time that Ichimaru stayed in his body in addition to his attempts to take control, Shen Hua began to change, his body began to acquire some of Ichimaru's characteristics such as pupils and a snake's killer instinct.

Shen Hua went to the body and took off his clothes. After dressing he left the residence and acted like the man he killed. He watched the other men entering the residences.

He saw one of them, which is farther from the others, entering one of the residences. He followed him inside building, the man noticed him and stopped, when he was signaling that the target is not there, Shen Hua reached into the man chest piercing his heart.

He left the building and searched for the next target. He kept killing the men until there were two left. In the middle of a courtyard, they both stopped and looked ahead. Until Shen Hua appeared in front of them both.

The three said nothing but drew their swords. They stared at each other until a cloud covered the moon, diminishing visibility. The three advanced, after the first blow Shen Hua was forced to become defensive.

Shen Hua molded a sand blade above her hand to help defend herself. Both men are cultivators their skills allow them to match Shen Hua's speed, and with their cooperation they are winning.

In the middle of the exchange of blows one of the men managed to cut Shen Hua's arm. Blood began to trickle down Shen Hua's arm as the exchange of blows continued.

When the blood had accumulated in his hand, Shen Hua parried a blow with his sword, released it, and waved his hand at the two men, hitting them with your blood. At the same time one of the men stabbed toward the Shen Hua's heart, which narrowly deflected the sword, making it reach his shoulder.

Shen Hua took the sword he'd dropped before, held the sword to his shoulder with his other hand and wrapped it with sand. He jumped back trying to pull away, the men advanced, leaving no room for Shen Hua.

As he walked away Shen Hua removed the sword from his shoulder and covered the wound with sand. When the men reached him he used both swords and continued the exchange of blows.

After a few strokes the men began to slow down and their strokes weakened. After a few more exchanges of blows Shen Hua managed to kill both.

He went to them and severed your heads. Then he went to all the other men he had killed and did the same. When it finally finish, it ran toward the Shen family estate.

Shen Hua appeared in front of the guards watching the door, "I'm returning this. Tell Shen Wei that the next time he send killers to me, it will be his head that will roll.", Shen Hua spoke in a tone that terrified both of the guards.

Before they could say anything Shen Hua disappeared from their sight leaving only one sack. One of the guards opened the sack, when he looked inside he felt seasick, turning his face he vomited. The other guards went to his colleague, when one went to look at what was in the sack, the guard who threw up prevented him, "Go call the master.", The guard said seasick.
