CHAPTER 73: DANG SOHA X ASSASSINS.

T.P.P

At the Dang Clan, training under the moonlight was Dang Soha in her courtyard.

She wore tight shorts and a black armless crop top vest.

Around her were wooden dummies and as she spun she threw needles stabbing them in the heads.

She moved between them like a snake slithering through obstacles.

By the time she had moved through them all there were needles on the neck of all the dummies.

She stands with three needles in her left hand and a dagger in her right her.

Standing there panting she utters;

"More!"

She began moving again.

This time faster and more precise.

After about a minute she comes to a stop.

She was panting and sweating.

"That was good warm up, you can come now." She suddenly says as she picks up a hand band from a stand and wraps it around her arm.

As she says this a dagger comes flying towards her head from behind.

She simply tilts her head to the left dodging the dagger.

The dagger plants itself on a dummy.

She turns slowly and sees three male figures clad in all black standing on her fence each holding a sword.

She looks at them with her usual poker face.

"So, do you mind introducing yourselves?" She asks them, her voice low and calm.

They look at her and without saying a word they rush towards her.

They attacked her with their swords together.

With one dagger in hand she blocks every strike casually.

They back off and throw smoke bombs on the ground around her.

From the smoke they began trying to attack her.

But she could read their movements.

They were fast, but she was faster.

One leaped out from the smoke to strike her.

He was incredibly fast.

He could slash her down with this speed but she catches him by the neck and with some pressure in her hands she simply snaps his neck as if snapping that of a chicken.

The other two literally pause in their tracks.

"Wasn’t she supposed to be Early Peak?

We heard she was strong that’s why three of us were sent to take her on, three Early Peaks, and yet she just snapped the neck of another Early Peak like it was snapping a toothpick." They both think to themselves.

"Are you just going to stand there? Don’t you have a mission?" She challenges them, her face as expressionless as always.

They both tighten the grip on their Swords and began attacking again.

She blocks and after a while as if bored she leaps into the smoke and began attacking them.

The sounds of slashing and groaning were heard for a short while.

After a while the smoke dies down and the only one standing was Dang Soha.

She stood looking down at the dead assassins.

"That was boring." She says.

She was about turning when she suddenly tilts towards the right dodging something.

She didn’t completely dodge it though as whatever was thrown makes a small cut at the side of her neck.

She looks at the direction it came from and another male figure clad in all black is seen appearing from the corner of the courtyard clapping.

"As expected of the one known as the Venom Dragon." He says.

"To outdo three Early Peak assassins, that is really impressive." He comments.

Dang Soha says nothing and looks at him intently.

"A Late Peak." She states.

"This should be interesting." She says as she throws a needle towards the assassin.

He easily blocks it with the back of his hand which has a metal surface.

He looked at her from head to toe scanning her body.

"You have a nice body, it’s a shame I have to end you tonight...

Or maybe I could have my fun before completely ending you.... Yhhh, I’ll just incapacitate you and then..." He says and through his mask you could feel his evil smile.

Even when listening to this Dang Soha does not budge.

She seemed unfazed.

"I really hope you are strong enough to accomplish that." She says and dashes at him at immense speed.

He was surprised at her speed and immediately tries to get out of her way.

She manages to get a scratch on his left shoulder.

"What? She wasn’t moving at max speed previously?" He thought to himself as he pulls out two daggers.

He made his stance.

He was the one supposed to be attacking but rather now he was the one on the defense.

Moving at incredible speed she attacks him with her dagger.

She didn’t bother to use her needles.

She just kept dashing at him slashing from his left, right, front and back.

He blocks and blocks but after a while her slashes started getting in.

"What the fuck is this? I haven’t been able to even make one attack." He says to himself.

"Isnt she supposed to be an Early Peak? how is she doing this to a mid-stage Late Peak like me.

I’m an assassin and she is faster than me?" He thinks to himself.

He pulls out a pill and quickly swallows it.

His body begins to vibrate as he surged with power.

His Ki level was rising.

"There might be consequences later but with this I should be able to..." Before he could finish speaking Dang Soha hits him hard in his belly with her leg.

The heavy hit sends him flying into the walls.

"Ughh!" He utters as he tries to get up coughing out blood.

Before he could rise completely she appears standing above him her hand on his head.

He knelt before her.

She lands a heavy kick to his face with her left knee.

And then with her right knee.

At this point he couldn’t take any more.

She squats to his level, slaps his left cheek and then his right cheek.

She kept slapping him and as she did she began to say;

"Come on boy, weren’t you going to have your fun with me?

You need to do better.

Are you going easy cause I’m a girl?

I can take it.

Stand up.

Give me more.

More!"

"What the fuck is wrong with this lady, just let me go." He thinks to himself as he received slaps.

"Wa...wait, please...stop" He pleads.

She stops for a while.

"Oh yh, you wanted to kill me." She says as if she just remembered.

She takes her dagger and slits his throat.

"What? this crazy..." The assassin thinks to himself as he drops to the ground his neck bleeding out.

Dang Soha rises to her feet looking up into the night sky.

She looks at the moon and says;

"That was boring."

About sixty meters away at the courtyard of the Grand Elder.

Seated outside the room on a chair and a table before him was the Grand Elder.

On the table was a cup of tea.

He took a sip out of the cup of tea and placed it back on the table.

"Do you people have any idea of where you have decided to invade?" He asks, his voice deep, low and clear.

"This is the land of the Dang Clan and you filthy mongrels dare to set foot in here with evil intentions?" He says, this time his voice louder.

From the shadows came out four individuals clad in all black.

Three males and one female.

They stood before him.

"Aren’t you supposed to attack from my blind spot?" The Grand Elder asks.

"You had already sensed us and pinpointed our exact locations, attacking you like that would not only have been pointless but also risky." The female says.

"Hmmm, smart.

You! why do you do what you do?

Were you compelled?" The Grand Elder asks the female.

"Why do you ask? because I’m female? Am I restricted to the Martial Arts I decide to learn because I was born a woman?" She asks the Grand Elder.

"I see, a true Martial Artist, you hold your pride as one.

Forgive me for speaking in such manner." The Grand Elder says as he takes another sip of tea.

"So, two Martial Masters and two Late Peaks.

Are you confident in facing me with just this?" The Grand Elder asks.

"We have heard about the Martial Prowess of the Tang Clan, they can always take on people stronger than them.

But that was the Tang Clan, this is the Dang Clan now.

And besides, even if it were the Tang Clan, to face a Martial Master, two Martial Masters would be enough and now we have two Martial Masters and two Late Peaks, all being assassins." She says to the Grand Elder confidently.

The Grand Elder smiles and takes another sip of his tea.

He drops the tea and says;

"I see"

He looks at them and suddenly he flicks the tea cup at them.

At incredible speed the cup crashes into the head of one of the Late Peaks.

None of them could react to this attack.

They all stood still as their comrades collapse to the ground dead.

The remaining three immediately back off some distance.

"What was that?" The female thinks to herself as she backed away in the air.

Suddenly the Grand Elder appears in her face with a smile.
