Return Of The Demon 58 Kidnapping

Bai Yun stared at the stranger. The biggest problem he would have to face would be that the stranger is at the seventh stage of Qi condensation. Bai Yun was strong enough to defeat someone at that cultivation level, but capturing him without making any noise was extremely difficult. In the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.d's legacy there were quite a good number of pills, liquids and gases that could incapacitate someone silently, but Bai Yun had none of them on him right now.

And no matter what, he wasn't at a level where he could fight without making any noise. Currently the stranger was walking without any awareness, but it was impossible that he would not notice him and react if he were to suddenly attack.

Bai Yun thought about his options for a moment before he chose his plan of action. Bai Yun used wind motion to run around the street the stranger was walking on. The stranger looked around when he heard the whoosh of the air that accompanied wind motion. As Bai Yun hadn't reached soundless motion yet he was unable to hide the sounds. But the stranger did not see anything and ignored the noise.

Since the streets here were quite interconnected it only took Bai Yun a short time to reach the other end of the street, even having taken the long way around. The stranger was walking towards him slowly.

Bai Yun walked in front of the stranger and started to inspect the path. He knew that the stranger would take the same path back as he had taken here, so he had to find a good location to ambush. In a.s.sa.s.sination and kidnapping, the most important thing was location after all. He was very natural as he simply walked by without stopping.

As he walked, Bai Yun a.n.a.lyzed the place. The street was dark, now that it was after midnight but there were still patches of light. The location the group had chosen to meet was also quite out of the way, as they did not want to attract any attention. Honestly Bai Yun would not have picked such a location for meeting, it was too remote. If something happened, it would easily become suspicious.

The path that the stranger was on was deserted for now, but wont be for long. Soon they would reach more trafficked areas, and that would be bad. He had to take action before then. Not only that he had to take action in a place without many people so that no one noticed them.

A few minutes later, Bai Yun found the perfect place. It was a small junction in the road. Two roads crossed each other. There was a small wall in the road behind which he could hide. From here he could launch a surprise attack at the stranger quite effectively.

Bai Yun stood there and looked around. Using his perception, he made sure that there were no people around him, and that the houses around him were mostly empty. He then quickly took of his robe and changed into clothes that are quite easy to move in. When striking at high speeds the resistance created by the robes could be deadly. Once he did so he changed his appearance, just in case someone did see him.

By now he could hear the stranger getting close. He peered from around the corner at the stranger who was walking towards him slowly. For a moment he watched him closely and then slinked back into the shadow of the streets.

Even though the stranger was a cultivator and at a higher cultivation level than him, the body of a cultivator was same as that of a mortal at a fundamental level. He had the same weaknesses as a mortal. Only when a person's cultivation reached a much higher step would their body lose such weaknesses. And a quick way to knock out a qi condensation realm cultivator is to knock him in the back portion of the brain at the medulla oblongata, the place where the brain joints up with the spinal cord.

And it was necessary to take him by surprise. It is easy for a cultivator to protect their weaknesses easily with qi. If he did not attack before the stranger recognizes him as a threat then he could easily knock him out. Else it would be very difficult for him to kidnap the stranger without making any noise and raise any commotion.

Bai Yun slowly took a stance behind a wall, hidden from sight. He stood a few inches from the wall and the street, facing the street. Bai Yun bend his knees slightly and took a stance. His right hand was crossed in front of his body as if he was about to draw a sword at his left hip.

Bai Yun started to take deep breaths one at a time. Each of his breaths was taken through his mouth and got progressively deeper and quieter. His heartbeat got slower and slower. He wrapped his perception and G.o.d sense around him so as to eliminate any of his presence. This was a new technique he had acquired from the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.d. Slowly his very existence seemed to blend into the shadows around.

Bai Yun could not use his sense to keep track of the stranger. If he did so, it could alert the stranger of his presence, and that could reduce his chances of successfully ambushing the stranger. Bai Yun used his ears to listen to the strangers footsteps to estimate his distance. Bai Yun waited until he slowly reached him.

Bai Yun focused all of his strength into just right arm. All of his qi was perfectly focused on his right hand. Due to his high skill not single wisp of qi was projected outward and no one could sense his presence. Finally he wrapped two strands of his soul around his arm to strengthen it further.

By now the stranger was only a few meters from where he was hiding. Bai Yun could hear him quite clearly. But there was still a small problem. In order to properly subdue the stranger, it was necessary to attack him from behind in surprise. But no matter how well he had hidden, the area he had hidden in was slightly lit by the star and moon light. When the stranger pa.s.sed by his hiding spot, it was all but certain that he would be seen. Even though he was using the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.d's techniques, he was neither proficient enough nor had a high enough cultivation to hide perfectly.

If Bai Yun were to hide more perfectly, he would be too far from the stranger to efficiently attack. The sound created when he moved closer would alert the stranger and he could possibly react.

Bai Yun listened to the footsteps of the stranger getting closer. By now his breathing had all but disappeared. He opened his eyes slowly. Once he was done, he stared at the road, looking for the time to act. And the moment the right leg of the stranger came into view and fell on the pavement, Bai Yun made his move.

Bai Yun used the third soul tendril of his and slammed two pieces of wood together at the other side from where he was hiding.

Question: what would an average person do when they are walking and they hear a familiar noise.

Answer: they turn to look.

And that is exactly what the stranger did. He kept on walking and simply turned his head to the left to look at the origin of the sound. There was nothing to it. It was simply nature and instinct. The key was to make the sound common and quiet enough to simply make someone turn and not stop walking. If someone heard a firecracker go off, he would be more likely to stop walking. Thus Bai Yun simulated the sound of a door closing. The natural reaction was impossible to control without years of training. And this was simply a momentary reaction. But that turned out to be deadly in the case of the stranger.

Bai Yun waited patiently, and charged into motion the very next second. His heart thundered and his breathing became rapid. His bent knees sprung up, and the arm swung out as if he was drawing a sword. He used every drop of strength available to him and also cast wind motion at the same time.

The sound attracted the attention of the stranger, but he was too late. It only took him a second to turn his head back to look at Bai Yun. As he saw Bai Yun getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by a look of horror. But the one second of delay was all that Bai Yun needed. In an nstant Bai Yun's arm collided with the base of the strangers skull.

The stranger stumbled for a moment, and then his body fell powerlessly on to the floor. But Bai Yun did not stop moving. Before the stranger could stop falling, Bai Yun grabbed his arm, spun his body and then threw the strangers arm over him. A second later some alcohol that he had purchased earlier in the night, spilled onto both of their chest.

All three of Bai Yun' soul tendrils wrapped around the stranger. The two of them started to walk with a sway. If anyone saw the two of them right now, they would only see two drunks walking.

Once the lie was set, Bai Yun took out a small pill and forcefully fed it to the stranger. It was a simple knock out drug that he had purchased earlier from the clan. When he knew that the situation called for an investigation, Bai Yun was prepared to do some extreme measures.

Once this was done Bai Yun looked around to see if there were anyone watching. Once he confirmed that they were indeed alone, Bai Yun started to slowly walk towards the shadows. He stumbled his way to the wall, and a second later he moved into the shadows.

Anyone watching would only see two people staggering and would not look closer. But with each random step, the two of them seemed to go further into the darkness. A few steps later and the the two of them disappeared.

The street went back to its old silence, as if all that happened was only a dream.
