The God of Cataka

"Watch carefully! Tonight, I want them all dead. There can be no mistakes. Finish it without rest!"
"Good!"
"You go to the back door!"
"Good!"
"You guys block left-right!"
"Good!"
"The rest come with me!"
This voice.Shen Zhu muttered among his rising-sinking consciousness.
The whispers came from a radius of a hundred or two hundred meters from the backyard of Dormitory Seven.
Shen Zhu's eyelids jerked open. His ears are spontaneously alert.
It was almost dawn when he finally fell asleep and heard the sounds of feet settling around their dormitory. He forcefully withdrew his consciousness after hearing those whispers.
There's ambush! he concluded. Then he sighed his body slowly and looked around.
His brothers are asleep. Some muttered, some snored. Some lay quietly without a sound.
Usually they are the ones who take turns to look after me every night, Shen Zhu recalled. Now it's my turn to look after you! he said in his heart.
Shen Zhu squinted his eyes as he turned to the long-empty and restyled bed, which should have been occupied by the new occupants.
Tiao's not in his bed!
Where is he? Shen Zhu wondered in his heart. Then he uncovers his blanket and steps down from his bed carefully, then sneaks out without leaving a sound.
A SLAAASSSH!
Shen Zhu darted into the darkness and landed on a branch of a tree, then scrutinized the surroundings warily.
The towering old castle is covered in mist featuring unexpected crevices with dark colors, which further emphasizes the context between the ancient relics and the clenic nuances.
Around it lay a beautiful green forest. Slim peach trees and birkin trees grow curved into the grounds. Behind it, the forest looked dark because it was overgrown with bamboo trees.
The pale moonlight filtered through the cracks of the leaves, scattering bright spots on the black floor surface of the castle. Fireflies flew to and fro, in and out of the pale gray light beams that shot out from above.
THE SNACK!
The tree's butt snapped when a shadow shot from the foot of the cliff and jumped at it. Then a pair of armour-shoeed feet landed lightly on the ancient stone floor of the castle. The tip of his robe whipped gently sweeping the dried leaves.
Shen Zhu squinted his eyes as he felt another subtle movement in the darkness.
A SAAAAT!
A SAAAAAT!
Shen Zhu saw two dark shadows darting towards the roof of the dormitory.
SLASHY!
SLASHY!
The other two shadows slipped behind the wall.
Along with that, he heard another voice behind him.
Shen Zhu jerked his head to the side and bowed.
Tiao walked right under the tree where Shen Zhu was perched.
Shen Zhu simultaneously frowned his brows and watched the young man suspiciously.
The young man walked towards the dormitory porch, and when he stretched out his hand to reveal the door, a dark shadow shot towards him and ambushed him.
Damnit damnit! shen Zhu's curse in his heart. Then pat her own forehead.
Now Tiao grappled with the uninvited figure and wriggled trying to break free.
It is absolutely wrong to have suspected him of cheating! inner Shen Zhu regretted. Then move his palms and fingers in front of his face and throw a needle-shaped light energy towards the ninja-clothed figure.
Tiao flinched and looked around in confusion. And before he realized what was happening, another dark-robed figure threw a dagger at the young man.
Tiao was still stammering in confusion. But finally realize the danger. With increased vigilance, he took out a sword from his storage ring and darted into the side yard.
A SLAAASSSH!
A SLAAASSSH!
A number of daggers lunged here and there, followed by a number of men in ninja uniforms.
Lothawat! Shen Zhu did not remain silent at last. He quickly shot towards Tiao and repelled all of the attacks with a twisting kick in the air. Then it landed on Tiao's side.
"Sister!" Tiao was suffocated in shock.
"Group!" Shen Zhu placed an index finger on his lips and put up the horses. "Don't wake Teacher up" he whispered.
"Who are they?" tiao asked in a whisper, turning his body back to Shen Zhu and putting up the horses.
"Siccups!" shen Zhu replied.
"Why are they again?" pekik Tiao who in an instant responded to the successive attacks.
SLASHY!
A SLAAASSSH!
Shen Zhu stroked there and there to dispel the daggers with light energy.
Tiao also did so by freezing each movement with the elemental technique.
In the next instant, the three Sicarii lunged towards them as they shot out a sickle-shaped light energy. Along with that, they also threw a number of daggers from between their respective fingers.
Shen Zhu and Tiao soar and bounce around in the middle of the siege, dancing the Angel of Death in a magical silence, while still turning their backs on each other.
Each time Tiao's sword eyes slashed to the side, Shen Zhu's kicks soared upwards with both feet stretching 180 degrees.
As Tiao's sword swooped down, Shen Zhu soared with a twisting kick in the air. As Tiao's sword pummeled through the air, Shen Zhu's death kick flashed from below.
No matter what form of attack was crashing towards them, the two always managed to dodge it together. Their movements seemed to have been trained to protect each other.
The number of men in ninja uniforms is increasing every time they succeed in subverting one of them.
One of them shot towards Shen Zhu while swinging his sword, eyeing Shen Zhu's throat.
Shen Zhu spontaneously dodged by bending his body backwards in a kayang position.
Not true! the strangulation in his heart. Sicarii did not carry a sword.
SLASHY!
Two more daggers darted low aiming at Tiao's ankles
Tiao soared into the dormitory wall and set one foot to then reflect his body again while twisting, throwing ice needles from between the fingers of his free hand, while the other hand swung a sword.
Simultaneously, three daggers darted rapidly to the neck and chest of Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu just flicked his shoulders slightly as he flicked the edge of his hanf.
One of the flying Sicarii swooped down from the roof towards Shen Zhu with both feet stretched straight in the air in a perfect split, trying to plunge his heels into the young man's shoulder. But in an instant the young man had already moved and Sicarii's heel landed on the pavement floor.
The Sicarii jumped again, tossing its body just two feet high while levitating a twisting kick, aiming at Shen Zhu's waist. But the young man caught his ankle and threw his body to the side.
BUGS!
Sicarii's back hit the dorm wall with a loud jolt.
Shen Zhu walked towards Sicarii who was carrying a sword with wide steps.
"Sister!" Tiao flinched and looked at him worriedly.
SLASHY!
Two more daggers shot towards them.
Tiao spontaneously ignited it with the elemental techniques he had trained since returning from the Hunt Forest. Then hurriedly followed Shen Zhu while still maintaining the position of each other, walking backwards while wielding the sword warily.
Shen Zhu stopped in front of Sicarii who was carrying the sword and crossed her arms while grinning. "In the middle of the night, bringing so many people to greet me. Isn't it too much, Tianba?" the slurping pitched scorn.
"What?" Tiao suffocated and looked back. "Tianba?"
