What the fuck?"
A teenage boy rolled on the floor, with an agonized expression on his face. His jet black hair scattered all around his face and particles of sand were visible in them.
His eyes shot open, and a murderous gleam fleeted through them albeit, it lasted only for a moment.
Hahaha…I am alive" his voice echoed in the distance.
It felt really good to cheat death and now, he had a second chance to destroy the council.
"Finally, I Tang Xi has awakened and this time, I will reduce the co…uncil… to…"
He coughed violently, unable to complete his words. It felt like there was no air to breathe in…like he was trapped in space.
*Cough*
Will I really die from asphyxiation right after coming back from the dead?
Heck…that would really be the most unfortunate disaster of the century.
Wait, he was not suffering from lack of oxygen but due to the minuscule amount of Cosmo in the air. It felt like he was breathing in dirt.
Doing his best, Tang Xi did his best to adapt to the poor quality of Cosmo in the atmosphere before an unfortunate disaster happened.
Few moments later, he stood up and looked around, having adapted to his new environment.
"This is definitely not the Green fire world and this is definitely not my body." The Green fire world where he came from had much more superior Cosmo in its environs.
Heck…he felt like a fly stuck in shit.
Did I reincarnate?
But when was I killed by the Supremes? His memories were foggy and the only thing he could remember was the dull pain of a blade in his chest.
Even when his friend Krad came, he still died…
Whatever…..
His vision swayed for a moment as memories fleeted through his mind.
The name of the body currently hosting his soul was called Tang Xi…quite a coincidence and he was currently in the Azure fire world. Shockingly, the level of cultivators in this world was quite mediocre or perhaps the owner of this body hadn't seen or heard of one. Probably, the former Tang Xi grew up in a shitty area.
He raised his eyes and gazed into the distance with his mouth widened in horror.
Oh…no…MY CULTIVATION BASE.
For the span of a minute, he stood dazed, electrified by the shock of losing his cultivation base.
"A thousand years of hard work has gone into the gutters and…and I am now a MORTAL, then what happens to destroying the council?" He sank to his knees in anguish and his eyes filled with despair.
Without being a cultivator, there was no use challenging the council. A mortal trying to destroy the council would only be deemed the madman of the century for it was impossible.
Even as an immortal, he was killed by the palace master and his lackeys. So what would happen if he came there as a mortal?
Maybe crapping his pants when he heard the voice of the nine Supremes. Heck...he wouldn't even last for hundredth of a second.
Tang xi raised his eyes to the heaven and a profound smile bloomed on his face.
You think this is a joke right?
With his eyes full of resolve, he rose to his feet.
"No matter how high the mountain is, I Tang Xi would ascend it and reduce the council to smithereens."
His resentment towards the council wouldn't vanish even if he were to die. The council destroyed his clan and he would do so to return the favor by a hundred folds.
For now, he would put aside the goal of destroying the council and climb back to the peak of cultivation again.
What a pain in the ass.
Tang Xi quickly assessed his current situation and a puzzled look appeared on his face.
The former Tang Xi was a scion from the Tang clan in this world and he was journeying through this forest when him and his guards were attacked by some masked assassins. The guards abandoned him and fled together with his servant.
The guards might be dead.... Not that he cared about them though, but it will be difficult to explain how a non cultivator survived the onslaught of assassins.
Tang Xi ran his fingers through his hair
Why was this body of mine targeted? To him, the owner of the body was absolutely useless and he couldn't understand what one would achieve by killing him.
Tang Xi picked the bag pack and wore it on his back. There was no need to scrutinize it contents because he now possessed the memory of the body.
However,as he turned to leave, the sound of rustling leaves made him turn sharply. In the blink of an eye, a figure dashed forward, blade first in an attempt to impale his heart.
Tang Xi swiftly sidestepped, and his attacker missed him by a hair breath.
With a surprise look in his eyes, the attacker quickly corrected his balance.
Tang Xi sized him up. He could tell that the attacker was a man. He was dressed like a ninja. He donned a black clothing and the lower half of his face was covered by a cloth, leaving his eyes bare. A trace of madness revolved around his pupil.
Turning back quickly, his swung a blade in the air and Tang Xi evaded the blow albeit slower and a small gash found it way to his face.
What the hell is going on?
Why does many people want to kill me?
In my other life, they killed me. Fine, because I have too many enemies.
Now somebody else wants to kill me? Just what the heck is going on? I have not stayed up to ten minutes in this world.
The heck..., where will I transmigrate to this time?
Despite being stifled by the sudden appearance of the assassin, his mind was rational and his thought; lucid. As a veteran on the battlefield, he knew a moment lapse in concentration would be the end of him.
The assassin threw a fist quickly. Apparently, he was surprised that his attack had missed his prey twice.
Tang Xi used his left palm and deflected the fist, while returning the favor with his right fist. The fist caught the assassin off guard, moving him three steps backwards.
The madness in his eyes seem to intensify as he stared at Tang Xi for a brief second.
Killing this kid was supposed to be a walk in the park... I didn't expect to energize myself with Cosmo.
Tang Xi could feel the Cosmo rising in the fiend and thick dark lines creased his brow.
If it was in his other life, the guy before him was nothing more than an ant.
Which such a low cultivation base, what does he hope to achieve?
The Heck, do you think I am a chicken that can be killed this easily?
Tang Xi scoffed at the attacker.
How come you have a weak cultivation base?.
Let me show you the might of a true expert is like" after speaking, Tang Xi tried to circulate the Cosmo within him but.....
No!!!!! His voice rented throughout the forest, echoing against the colossal trees like a chorus of angry spirits. For a second, he had forgotten all about possessing a new body and that he was no longer a cultivator.
The attacker was stunned and paused in his tracks.
What the hell?
Is this the legendary screaming before death?
Tang Xi felt like banging his head on one of the many trees in the forest.
Not a single trace of Cosmo energy was found in his body.
What the hell! Why did I leave my former body and possess this weak body?
He ran his fingers through his head.
Aha....he suddenly remembered the assassin who was stunned for a second.
Let's continue
"Continue your head"
The assassin felt as though he was a toy in the hands of the other party. He was more surprised by the fact that his opponent was able to evade both of his blows.
From the intelligence he received, the kid was supposed to be naive in the aspect of combat.
Even with Cosmo energizing him, the kid was still able to cling on to his life.
Nevertheless, he dashed forward, the blade in his hand whizzing through the air as though a note from the devil.
Tang Xi ducked the blade while keeping his feet in the path of the assassin. The assassin was forced back by that movement.
"What sloppy punches, you are so clumsy. Tang Xi commented.
Adjust your feet together, lower your center of gravity in order to pack more power into your attacks…. Tang xi began lecturing his attacker.
Sloppy your ancestors.....the assassin's gut was dyed red instantly and he felt like pulling out his hairs.
I'm getting confused here. Am I your student or an assassin?
Whoosh.....
The assassin increased his speed due to the rage welling up in his heart. The Cosmo energy within him made him move past the limit of a human.
Soon, Tang Xi was in a precarious position.The assassin was way faster than him. His life was just hanging on a thread.
"I know karma is sending it retribution upon me because of my sins but isn't this two much"
After killing giants in my other life, an ant is going to kill me in this life.... holy!!!.
If not for the fact that Tang Xi was proficient in the way of combat, he would have been dead a hundred times.
Though speed was an important factor in combat, the essence of combat was based solely on precision and timing.
Tang Xi received a punch in his face and a thousand stars appeared in the sky. He was dazed by the punch and the assassin, seeing such a perfect opening, swung his knife forward with stunning speed.
Freeze!!.... Tang Xi spoke subconsciously, voice booming with sheer might and his voice was immersed in a sea of killing intent.
The assassin paused abruptly in his path. His eyes showed fear as his figure swayed.
The teenager before him had transformed into a god of death in his eyes and he felt an overwhelming blood lust pressuring over him. In his past life, Tang xi had slayed more than one could count.
Well, he didn't know the number exactly, but Tang xi was sure that the death rate had surpassed dozens of millions and it was for that reason he called himself the Blade of Death.
The assassin was trembling from head to toe and his eyes reddened with fear and indignation.
Did you kill all the way from the womb?
Even if he did, the killing intent was way to vast.
I....I... His voice seemed to have been scared shitless out of him.
"S..ave...me" he managed to let out. The assassin felt his heart rate quickening, his eyes became wet with tears....
Ahh...this life!
From the assassin to the assassinated.....
His body slumped to the floor, leaving Tang Xi stunned.
Did I just scare the shit out of an Assassin?
I'm a rare talent indeed.
