The blade of the sword came at Lin Xuan Qi rapidly, leaving an afterimage as it slashed through the air.

Lin Xuan Qi used what he had been practicing, and he made a leap to the side.

Much to the masked man's surprise.

Lin Xuan Qi moved rapidly from where he was and onto the left.

It was just enough to be outside of the sword's reach.

And he took just a step to appear on the right side of the masked man.

The Cloud-Stride Steps proved itself to be a life saver.

The masked man's eyes opened wide as he didn't expect such graceful movements from Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi jabbed his fingers at the masked man's eyes.

"Ouch!" It took the masked man by surprise and succeeded.

The masked man swung his sword at where Lin Xuan Qi was, while he tried to recover from the pain.

Lin Xuan Qi took another step, and he got behind the masked man.

He gave a kick at the masked man from the back.

The masked man lost his balance for a moment, and he took a step forward, stumbling into another of his accomplices who was coming at Lin Xuan Qi from behind.

Both of the masked men lunged into each other and they stumbled onto the ground.

Lin Xuan Qi picked up the sword one of them dropped onto the ground.

He wanted to stab the sword at the masked man, but another masked man came rushing at him.

The masked man thrust the sword directly at him.

Lin Xuan Qi lowered his body, took a step forward and turned the sword upwards.

His movements dodged the sword coming at him and he was also able to get near the masked man.

With him being close enough, he thrust the sword upwards diagonally.

Splatter.

The sword stabbed into the masked man's shoulder and the masked man gave out a cry in pain.

The other two masked men who stumbled onto the ground had gotten back up on their feet and they lunged at Lin Xuan Qi from the back.

Lin Xuan Qi heard their footsteps coming at him and he used the Cloud-Stride Steps again, dodging to the side.

Three of them bumped into each other again.

It was, however, much worse for the masked man with the sword stuck in his shoulder.

The sword got plunged deeper and shifted around, making the wound much bigger.

"Argh! Get off me." The masked man shouted in agony and the other two tried to get up before they did more damage.

When they got up, they tried to pull the wounded masked man onto his feet.

They froze when they saw Lin Xuan Qi staring at them with something in his hand.

It was something like a black metallic ball.

One of them gasped when he recognized what it was, but it was too late for them.

Lin Xuan Qi threw the Sima Family Five Poison Balls at them.

Poof.

The black metallic ball exploded when it came into contact with the masked men and a cloud of dark smoke filled the surroundings.

Lin Xuan Qi covered his nose and mouth with his hands and leaped away from the scene.

The three masked men breathed in some of the dark smoke, and it started to burn their airways and lungs.

"Help us!" They gasped for air and held their hands onto their necks.

It was of no use.

It wasn't enough to stop the damage to their bodies from the poison.

Their faces turned into a shade of purple and their eyes turned bloodshot, and blood began to flow out from their tear ducts.

Lin Xuan Qi froze when he saw what was happening to the masked men.

His hands trembled when the realization struck him.

He had taken their lives.

Something that he wouldn't have dreamt of doing.

It was unimaginable for him to be a killer as someone from Earth.

His breath shortened and his heart thumped faster and faster.

Lin Xuan Qi could feel his chest tighten as he processed what he was witnessing.

"Master Lin!" Lee He Song's voice boomed in the air and snapped him out of his thoughts.

A glare of chilling light came onto his eyes, and Lin Xuan Qi instinctively dodged to the side.

Splatter.

He was a moment away from certain death, but the blade still caught a bit of his neck.

Blood dripped onto the ground and pain from the wound woke him up.

It was life and death.

If he didn't do what he did, he would be the one who was lying on the ground motionless instead.

Lin Xuan Qi lunged at the masked man in front of him and knocked the masked man to the side.

He gave chase with his fist.

The masked man stumbled and stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground.

It stopped the masked man's momentum.

And when Lin Xuan Qi got close, he saw the masked man lifting his leg and gave him a frontal kick.

Whoosh.

Lin Xuan Qi's figure shimmered, and he dodged to the side with his Cloud-Stride Steps.

The kick missed its target.

Lin Xuan Qi took the opportunity and held onto the masked man's leg and pulled it forward.

The masked man struggled as it made him unbalanced.

And when he tried to pull his leg backwards, Lin Xuan Qi suddenly changed direction and pushed the masked man's leg towards the masked man's body instead.

The sudden change of force caused the masked man to stumble back and he fell onto the ground.

Lin Xuan Qi kicked at the masked man's wrist holding onto the handle of the sword.

The pain and force caused the masked man to loosen his grip.

Lin Xuan Qi picked up the sword and stabbed it downwards at the masked man.

Splatter.

The sword plunged into the masked man's chest and the masked man twitched for a few moments and stopped.

Lin Xuan Qi panted, trying to catch his breath and glanced at the surroundings.

There were masked men lying on the ground all over the place.

Lee He Song was done clearing all the other masked men.

"Master Lin, are you all right?" Lee He Song swung his sword to the side forcefully and the blood on the blade splattered onto the ground.

Lin Xuan Qi took a few deep breaths and said, "I'm fine, we better hurry back to the mansion!
