Chapter 915: The Guard

With a crowd already gathered, the leader of this group of attackers walked up to stand beside the trapped Yi Yang Group guard. Then a suitcase sized Magical Tool appeared in his hand and he set it upon the ground. With everyone watching he placed a memory sphere onto a small pedestal upon it, and a handful of Spirit Stones into a large container to the side of it. Then the Magical Tool created a huge rectangular screen of darkness into the air above it. After a moment colors shot up into the sky, the vertical shafts of light swirling and flailing around for a moment before converging upon the dark screen that had formed earlier. Then the colors overlapped and a painting appeared. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Or at least thats how the locals thought of it. Projections were quite rare and a spectacle usually reserved for sixth rank Cultivators. To suddenly see it coming from a Magical Tool was truly an eye opener for them. The Prosperity Companys movies had not yet traveled to cover the Dou Kingdom yet.

In a few moments the scene started to move and the few mortals that were brave enough to get close enough were astounded to see these moving pictures. Then they all realized that these images were from a part of their own city! It was a very famous intersection in their town and it was quite busy. The Cultivators were less surprised to see this sort of thing and were more wondering what exactly these mysterious attackers were showing them this sight for. Then the view slowly zoomed in on a specific member of the crowd. This individual was wearing a very wide brimmed bronze helmet with a short spike on its peak. Yet, he wasnt wearing the dark guard uniform that the Yi Yang Group was usually seen with. Instead he had on the light and air garments of the common folk and he was distributing food to a group of orphans.

Hey, thats him!

Someone in the crowd pointed it out to the others, making the connection they were all supposed to be making. The man on the screen was the same as the one who was trapped in front of them all. Most were confused, why would they want them all to see that this person was doing good deeds? Wasnt this some sort of execution or a justification for their attack?

The leader of this group clad in glowing auras reached out to flick a finger against the metal helmet of the trapped guard leader. It let out a loud clinking sound and he turned to look at the crowd, This is not just their uniform. These helmets allow the Yi Yang Group to control the mind of those they put it on. They may seem like normal people, but once they have this on their head the only choices they can make are those told to them by their masters. In fact, the only reason this man is still alive is because we killed his master before he could order all his troops to suicide.

A few in the crowd narrowed their eyes. This bit of information wasnt unknown to all as it was the core of the Yi Yang Groups strength and hence their main deterrence to other groups. By having troops that didnt care about their lives, they had a whole cadre of suicide warriors. Suicide warriors didnt fight fair. The threat of a fatal injury wouldnt deter them. You could swing to cut them into two pieces at the waist, but if that also put the suicide warrior into position to slice your throat, they would still complete the move. A normal person would abandon their attack and switch to defense, because if you die in the process of winning the fight, whats the point? This is why those fighting for a cause were more dangerous than normal warriors, but suicide warriors were worse as they might chose the path of mutual destruction on a whim and not only when pushed into a corner. That meant any battle against suicide warriors would be very costly and gave the Yi Yang Group a great deterring power.

On the other hand, the clueless members of the crowd were astounded. Had such vicious people been living so close beside them all this time? There were still many naive Cultivators in the crowd that had trained to become strong in order to be a hero like all the stories theyd heard when they were young. These people had a fire in their eyes and they looked at the Yi Yang Groups base like it was their greatest enemy.

That was when the show truly reached its climax. The man with the glowing aura extended a blade from his fingertip and used it to shear through the metal chin-strap of the guards helmet. Then his glowing aura surrounded the whole helmet and he tore it off the guards head in one swift motion.

The dead look in the guards eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced with a look of relief. The guard looked up at the man with the glowing aura and smiled, Thank you for freeing me. They made me do so many terrible things. Im so sorry.
