Side Story: An Cheng (Part 2)

An Cheng was outside a manor. It was old-fashioned, like the ones you see in wuxia movies. There were guards all over the manor, with all the modern pieces of equipment, guns, bulletproof vests, steel knives, basically smaller versions of Rambo.

There were also cameras all over the manor with no place uncovered. Trapps lined outside the manor every 5 meters, they were all special, so you did not know what would happen when you would get hit. Most likely you would be dead. At least 10 times over, that is how powerful it was.

An Cheng sneaked over to a boulder about 8 meters from an electric trap and 15 meters from the manor wall. An Cheng took deep breaths to calm himself down and to slow his breathing.

"Zen Shen, today will be the day you will die." An Cheng muttered under his breath.

He leaped over the bolder and ran towards, the manner in an impossible speed that a human could run at. An Cheng ran past the trap dodging every laser that was pointed at him to activate the traps, even those that would randomly appear in front of him.

An Cheng got past the traps with ease and leaped over the wall like a ghost, landing like a feather on the other side of the wall. In the entire process, he did not make a single noise, he was also dressed in the same color as the night so no one could see him or even his silhouette.

An Cheng ran towards the main house at the middle of the manner. He was like a phantom, flashing in and out of sight, the cameras could catch a glimpse of him but not at all noticeable. An Cheng jumped on the building with feather-like steps and jumped through the window.

An Cheng found a middle-aged man that was sleeping, he looked like a kind uncle that you could find across the street. An Cheng, however, knew that that look was a facade to hide what was underneath.

An Cheng looked at the man without emotion, he took out his long black sword and cleanly slashed at the man's neck.

"Path of Sorrows looks like you get to eat another one." An Cheng muttered under his breath. After the man died a silent death, something like a blue spirit got sucked out of his body and rushed towards An Cheng's sword.

When An Cheng confirmed that his sword ate, he flew out the window staring at the north with coldness in his black eyes.
