All swords shall cry once the God of Sword makes his move!

This was a power that was unique to Venerable Lord Sword and no other person could hope to emulate it.

As the unique phenomenon began to unfold, an icy chortle could be heard.

"All assassin organizations should not exist in the martial world!"

Before the voice could even echo in the air, the sword light shone and illuminated the night sky. Where the swords could be heard crying out with loud clangs, pained screams emanated at the same time as blood washed the air.

The copper scent of blood was added to the nightfall.

"Venerable Lord Sword!"

A lean, delicately sculpted silhouette bolted out; a long whip in his hand slithered swiftly in the air like a snake. He called out in a calm voice, "Why all this murder?"

Venerable Lord Sword replied with derision, "I don't like The Merciless Tower. Is this reason sufficient?"

The assistant leader chuckled angrily. "It isn't a bad reason at all, but what a coincidence; your father has not fancied the people from the Four Seasons Tower for a long time now as well! Others may be afraid of you, but I, Thousand Hands Ape, Yu Fei, am not!"

Yu Fei cried, "Children, come out and kill this arrogant one!"

Swift rustling could be heard. Then, several silhouettes shot out from almost every corner; even the ground beneath them poured out black shadows one after another. In just a few breaths' time, over thirty people had surrounded Venerable Lord Sword, allowing him no avenue of escape.

Venerable Lord Sword made no move. As he chortled icily, his sword light glimmered with growing intensity.

"All out? Very well! Let us go to the Nine Spring together then! It'll be less lonely for all of us!"

As another cold chuckle resounded, snowflakes fell as frost blanketed the ground. Venerable Lord Snow and Venerable Lord Frost appeared simultaneously even as Venerable Lord Sword's sword light surged with increasing intensity.

One of them attacked from the left while another waded in from the right; the moment they appeared, between seven to eight people flew away with loud cries. When they landed, they were already frozen white, no longer able to draw breath.

The three Venerable Lords worked together as they unleashed their murderous intent and annihilated those in the yard.

Yu Fei kept his calm despite the shock, countered, and blocked the attacks, his whip like a flying dragon. For a moment, he managed to stave off the Three Venerable Lords' aggressive attacks. He then shouted, "The Merciless Tower and the Four Seasons Tower has never interfered with each other's business all along. The martial world treaty back then agreed on non-intrusion. Now that the three Venerable Lords have conducted a massacre the moment they arrived, can you explain what is the meaning of all of this?"

Yu Fei initially spoke without any room for negotiation, but he was now asking for an explanation. Obviously, he was considering withdrawing.

Swoosh!

Venerable Lord Sword directed his sword towards Yu Fei's throat, the sword light glinting maliciously. "Causes and reasons… They're meaningless to a person who's about to die. Are they important to an organization that's soon to be wiped out?"

Yu Fei was infuriated upon hearing this and proceeded to redouble his efforts. His cultivation base was already at a terrifying level while his killing intent was on full blast, due to the Venerable Lords' actions. He had no reservation as he fought them; in addition to the assistance from the dozens of assassins left, they were not at a disadvantage in the face of the Venerable Lords' annihilation.

In spite of this, the three Venerable Lords' combined capabilities still triumphed over them. Moreover, their seamless cooperation allowed them to exchange positions and formations randomly. Every time a shift happened, at least one assassin from The Merciless Tower succumbed.

Yu Fei roared continuously, providing relief as best as he could. Unfortunately, there was only one of him. Although his cultivation base was higher than the three Venerable Lords, he could not stop the three of them at once.

As the battle progressed, The Merciless Tower suffered increasing casualties. The battle was leaning towards the Venerable Lords. Yu Fei realized as much. If his subordinates died and these three people insisted on flanking him, he might very well succumb in this battle.

Yu Fei hollered loudly. His face was flushed as he suddenly exuded a greenish-red gas. He spun the whip in his hand rapidly, not unlike a furious storm, executing his maximum cultivation base. He blocked the three Venerable Lords with the sole whip, trapping them all within its shadows. He then cried out, "Withdraw!"

Almost simultaneously, a few gas bombs exploded with soft booms before the sight of every person in the yard was compromised.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

The dozen of assassins who were still alive reacted spontaneously, charging to the wall and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Another drawn-out cry was heard; a series of clashing noises erupted from the thick fog. A flash of a silhouette passed through the murk. Yu Fei's lean form was already on top of the yard's wall. He spoke coldly, "The world goes on. The Merciless Tower shall repay Venerable Lord Sword, Frost, and Snow's mercy today in the future!"

"We shall meet soon!"

The Venerable Lords charged out of the smoke only to see Yu Fei catapult from the wall like a rainbow across the sky before vanishing utterly.

"They managed to escape, but there's still more over there!"

The Three Venerable Lords were neither dismayed nor put off. Catching their breath, they took off immediately.

As the assistant leader of The Merciless Tower, the domineering cultivation base of Yu Fei exceeded the lords' expectation. They could not take him down despite working together! This would be their first encounter of this nature. Three of them shared a faint worry, "What sort of cultivation base would The Merciless Tower's leader, Hen Bieli, have?"

Worry was one thing, they would still kill who they needed to kill. They would simply not give any mercy tonight.

After this night and after the Hall of Crimson Blade, the assassins from The Merciless Tower who had arrived in Tiantang City had been wiped out by Four Seasons Tower as well. The four bases were all annihilated, no life was spared!

Of course, The Merciless Tower was not only restricted to four spots in Tiantang City. However. the rest of the locations were already empty when the Venerable Lords got there.

Assassins were the wariest of people as they observed their surroundings and safety all the time. For the Venerable Lords to have succeeded four separate times, it was due to their suddenness and swiftness; The Merciless Tower was unable to react promptly enough. Knowing that the other party was in for annihilation, it would be a waste to call The Merciless Tower one of the world's top assassin organizations if it did not have a plan to evacuate its men.

No matter how promptly The Merciless Tower reacted, the casualties The Merciless Tower suffered had still numbered beyond hundreds, even though only four spots had been wiped out.

This was a severe number to the organization.

After that night, the Venerable Lords did not stop their operations, assembling the Four Seasons Tower's men in Tiantang City, where there was an emergency. The Four Seasons Tower's men were no fools; they knew that the three Venerable Lords had suddenly ambushed the two top assassin organizations in Tiantang City, but they did not know the reason, thus they did not do anything. Now that they were gathered by the Venerable Lords and even knew that Venerable Lord Ice had succumbed to Hall of Crimson Blade's leader with multiple plot twists that were related to The Merciless Tower and Concourse of the Underworld, they answered to the assembly immediately, feeling the same feelings of deep-seated hate.

"We swear we will seek revenge for Venerable Lord Ice!"

However, just as the Four Seasons Tower's men gathered together and they were about to carry out further massacres, a brilliant series of fireworks erupted in the sky above Tiantang City, carrying a dictum.

A crimson word, 'Kill', flew up with a shrill noise before it erupted across the sky. The glaringly red word 'kill' hovered in the air for nearly two hours in a bizarre manner. What was more interesting was that the word expanded and rose higher during that two hours until everyone from thousands of miles away could see the word clearly.

Everyone who had any form of knowledge would be moved and feel a chill run through their spines.

It was a Dictum of Death, the last tactic of the top three assassin's organizations.

Once this Dictum of Death was released, the world's assassins would flock to where the dictum had been sent from.

An assembly dictum was the highest order of summons in the world of assassins!
