《Saga of the Overgod》Chapter 14: The Bell for Demons
Advertisement
All the hired-killers attacked simultaneously, although their enemy is just a normal teenager in their eyes, they still want to do their job successfully without any mistake and to minimize the retaliation of the opposition.
As they came near to Farjan, he immediately rotated his cultivation. He felt the energy and spiritual particles of the surroundings going along with him like he's the master of them all.
He dropped all the things he carries that he bought from the market and started stretching like he's not really serious about the situation where his life is on the run.
Seeing this action of Farjan, the hired-killers had their brows knitted, although their face is covered you could tell from their furrowed eyes that there is a question running through their heads. "What's with this boy? Is he not scared at all? Is he really joking?"He's holding a thin sword in his hand, and the only difference is that this mans eye is sharp and viciously looking towards the teenager.
Although they do not necessarily need to spout those words still, this man is the only one to be angry by Farjan's taunting.
"Don't bother with him, let's just kill this guy and immediately go back to report."
In Farjan's mind, he's thinking who will be the culprit of this scene, who is behind this. The number one suspect will be the Sofori clan because they had been humiliated yesterday and they've suffered a huge loss so they probably want to retaliate.
"Anyway, we will know that eventually," Farjan said. He will know the culprit eventually when he interrogates them after he beat them up so he didn't bother thinking who was the culprit.
A black-clothed man who looks like the leader of them all lead the others in attacking Farjan, they charged towards him simultaneously. The leader initiated a sword attack as he swings his sword from up above going downwards targeting Farjan.
You can see their swords shining brightly when the sunlight hit it indicating it's sharp and deadly.
As the decisive sword attack is going downwards the young man, he dodges sideward to the left and he throws a kick after, the man is propelled to the walls in the alleyways bouncing back to the ground.
But after the man is kicked away, the other hired-killers attacked him. Although after seeing that this man is not ordinary that even their leader is kicked away as easy as eating or drinking, they still attacked with their mind settled as they can outnumber him.

Another man dashed forward but as he was charging forward, instead of waiting for the man to be near him, Farjan initiated an attack and dashed towards the charging man, giving out a punch and when the punch hit the man he is thrown back away two meters from where is.
Seeing this happening in front of them, the confidence of the hired-killers is reduced.
"What with this young lad? He is just young, but he can fight with us, professional killers?"
"He's unordinary!" A man on the back most of the group shouted. After hearing this they all agreed. It's true that this man is no ordinary at all, he can fight with professional killers who even killed the countless famous person even while they are guarded. Standing in front of this man, it is like their all years of practice and doing this job means nothing before the other party.
After some discussion within the group, they immediately charged altogether to attack at once. A black-clothed man leaps up and then throw some small balls after it hit the ground, smoke covered the alleyway. Farjan can't see them anymore and after a moment three man emerged from the smoke that covers them, holding a sword they attacked. The two-man immediately goes to the left and right side of Farjan while the other one attacked in the middle. They swung their sword in unison cornering Farjan.
"You're done!"
They smiled with viciousness as they think that Farjan will end up dead only to be disappointed by the next scene. Farjan jumped up and thrown a fist to the man in the middle. Their vicious smile is now gone replaced by shock and fear as they widened their eyes in disbelief while their jaws are also dropping.
The fist struck the man, and he was thrown away. After striking a fist to the man in the middle, he takes the opportunity to kick the man in the right side and from the impact he takes the chance to turn around and kicked the other man on the left side.
His movements are decisive and professional like he's been fighting when he was just a kid. He looks like a valiant fighter, brave and bold.
Three more down and adding the two earlier he knocked down a total of five men. Now there are seven more people. For these professional killers ganging up a teenager is laughable but experiencing a fight with the young man they did not regret being a laughingstock instead they are happy that they do this.

"We must take the opportunity while the smoke is covering us! Let's go!"Three more men attacked. Three daggers flew out from the smoke screen heading towards Farjan.
These daggers are fast approaching him in just two seconds it comes in front of him. But Farjan didn't even panic, he stretches out his arm and then unexpectedly he grabs a hold of this three daggers.
After becoming a cultivator his reflexes increased greatly not just his strength and agility. By now these normal people are not a match for him.
Suddenly, he throws the three daggers back to its owners. It is faster than what the opposing party has done and in just half a second it pierced through their abdomen going deeper that the dagger might come out on the other side but Farjan decreased his strength slightly when he throws the daggers so it does not pierce through totally.
"What?!" Howling in anguish and pain, the three men widened their eyes in shock, they can't believe their eyes. Their dagger that should've killed Farjan, killed them instead. They dropped to the ground with their blood spilling.
The smoke screen is now gone revealing the four black-clothed men that is scared out of their wits. The man that is only a speck of dust in their eyes becomes a boulder that crushed them. They are now praying somebody will save them from this crisis.
"We do not have any other chance of winning," the black-clothed guy on the right side said.
Clearly, after fighting with this man, they didn't expect something like this will happen, they will lose to a young man? What a joke?!
"No, we have a chance to win," another black-clothed man said.
"How?! Didn't you see that this man from the Dowter clan is something like a monster or a demon?"After saying what he said his eyes immediately brightened with enlightenment.
"Demon?" As if realizing something, with that he took out a bell.
"This is a bell that our client gave us, he said we have a possibility that our enemies are demons so they gave us this. They said that if a demon hears it's sound they will not only surrender they will also feel fear and eventually the demon will submit to us!"He said happily as they found their hope for survival.
This bell is small, about 6 inches in height and with the with of 4 inches. It has patterns and symbols that are hard to understand.
Farjan walked nearing towards them and then he said in an imposing manner, "Fight or surrender?"Asking a question to them and giving them a chance to live."If you surrender and tell who's behind this, then I will let you all off," he added to persuade them to surrender. He does not want to fight anymore 'cause he feels like he's fighting children and bullying the weak that can't even make a scratch on him.
"Surrender? Surrender your head!"The black-clothed man who holds the bell shouted mockingly. He has the enemy's weakness so why surrender to him if he can make him surrender to himself?
Farjan had his brows furrowed, clearly, he doesn't expect this outcome. After beating up their comrades, he saw these men cowering in fear earlier and with their eyes, he saw them pleading. But now, they suddenly got the guts to say such words, what in the world was happening?
Then, the man who holds the bell shake it, joyfully. He's excited to see this demon to surrender and submit to him and later on he will command him to lick his shoes.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
The sound of the bell rang out in the alleyway, and with expectant eyes, he wants to see the young man cower in fear of them.
Farjan knitted his brows, "What are these guys planning? What was that bell? I sense something from it."
Seeing Farjan knitted his brows, the man's eyes glowed, "He must be experiencing something inside, by now he might be feeling fear and wanting to escape," he said to himself.
"Do not plan to escape 'cause we will never let you off?" another black-clothed man said.
The man holding the bell is sighing in his heart. "If we just used this earlier, there would be no bloodsheds in our side and we can easily defeat this man. I will let you pay for this!"He said indignantly."
"Come to me!" He commanded Farjan.
Unexpectedly, Farjan walked towards him.
"This works!"
"Yeah!"
"Now, you will pay to us!"
