After the rest candidates were tested, only one passed! Making those advancing to the next test, twelve in number.
The attendant Congratulated them and told them to be ready as they would be heading to the capital city in three day. Long Chen was so excited and wanted to share the news with their mother especially of how cool his sister Iris was. But Iris wanted to visit the pharmacy first. She needed the qi strengthening pills as well as some body strengthening pills too. She noticed that the impurities in her body was almost gone and she only needed one more day to purge it out.
When Xi Feng overheard this, he was so happy because he wanted to teach her a lesson for the grievance his sister suffered.
He brought his guards who were red spirit experts with him and followed Iris into the town.
Being an assassin, Iris could sense that she was being followed so, she decided to walk into a deserted Alley and of course, Xi Feng and his guards, followed her.
"I was wondering which stray dog was following me and it turned out to be you Xi Feng. What? Do you want more humiliation?"Iris asked after turning around to face them.
"Long Xu lan! Today you'll pay for what you did to my sister" Xi Feng said while Iris cringed in disgust upon hearing him speak.
"Men! Beat this bitch to death for me. I want her to know that my Xi family is not to be messed with" Xi Feng ordered.
Iris immediately became alart and transferred her qi to her footwork as she avoided the attacks of the Xi family guards. Although she was about to advance to the orange spirit, it didn't mean that her current body was strong enough. She needed more time to nurse her body back to it's full potential.
Iris continued to avoid the attacks while making sure the guards becomes exhausted before she finally struck. She kicked the sword from the hand of one of the guards closest to her before she did a backflip and picked up the sword to block the attack of another guard. She placed some distance between herself and the guards and then stabbed the one close to her when he least expected it before advancing towards the rest, all the while swinging the sword in her hand. And with her amazing speed and good footwork thanks to her qi, she was able to take the lives of every single guard without a drop of blood stain on her clothes. When she finished dealing with the guards, she looked towards Xi Feng who immediately threw an attack at her to which, she avoided. This continued for a while and Xi Feng noticed that her face started to pale from exhaustion of her weak body, he threw another fierce attack which Iris managed to avoid with a stroke of luck. Xi Feng immediately turned around and accelerated His footsteps with his qi, wanting to escape and get reinforcement.
When Iris saw this, she immediately grabbed the nearest sword and infused it with her qi before throwing it at Xi Feng!. The sword pierced through Xi Feng's heart from behind and he fell flat to the ground!.
Until he died, he did not know why he was not able to out run Iris's attack.
As for Iris, her body already became weak so she had to lean against the wall to catch her breath. Although she was looking pale and weak, her eyes were shining with malice and blood thirst!.
Before leaving the alley, Iris took a piece of clothing from one of the guards corpses and wrote a message with blood! Before stuffing it into Xi Feng's mouth. The message said, "Assassins do not rest until they have completed their mission".
As an assassin, she was used to writing such threats so, she didn't look back and walked away from the alley like nothing happened.
