26 Palm That Holds The Blade (1/2)
Hua Yan began to wonder what the ashes really were. Why did Frenzy place so much importance on them? To him, these ashes didn't really seem to have any sort of significance whatsoever.
If it had been anything else, Hua Yan would have had some kind of a reason to understand, or at least try to understand. It would have been alright if it were a sword, or a pearl, or a hammer, or an elixir of some kind that he was asked to look for… but ashes?
Was this a joke? Hua Yan really couldn't decipher Frenzy's intentions.
What guarantee was there that the ashes hadn't been swept away by one of the cleaners that had scrubbed the place after the fight?
If such really were the case, Hua Yan really could not think of any practical means to retrieve what he was asked to look for.
Interrogate the cleaners and find out where they had dumped all the waste?
Even if they told him such info, which was very unlikely considering his questionable status as a corpse that had just been revived, what next? Would he have to thoroughly search every nook and cranny of waste-filled landfill after landfill in pursuit of the ashes?
Hua Yan really did not understand this mission. It was too stupidly difficult and appeared to have no worthwhile merit.
It was a dumb task to begin with, so why not just ignore it? The more Hua Yan thought of it, the more reasonable this idea seemed to him. Life had to go on. He needed to resume things from where he had left off with his old body.
He did not know how much time had elapsed since he had died, so he was really anxious about what had happened to his sister.
He wanted to confirm her situation first. Before he could even make any plans, however, his mind was filled with a searing pain.
”You've already received the mercy of Ashura and this new body,” Frenzy echoed in a voice that carried an unquestionable power, ”This new lease on life that you've been granted is not one that was given without its own share of conditions. You will prioritize your orders over anything else. As mentioned previously, failure is totally unacceptable.”
As Frenzy finished speaking, Hua Yan's mind was filled with horrid visions. He was looking at himself, but it felt like he was looking at a stranger. Frenzy had overtaken his body and in its arms was a head.
For someone that had taken many heads before, this little thing should not have startled him.
Only… this was the head of Hua Yin!
Hua Yan exploded in rage! He could tolerate anything, but he could not and would not stand if Frenzy used his sister as a means of threatening him. And that was exactly what Frenzy was doing. It was showing Hua Yan these illusions to scare him!

Even though he knew it would hurt him severely, Hua Yan screamed at Frenzy in his mind.
”T… Touch her and I'll kill you!”
Even though he had no means of actually making a move, Hua Yan kept imagining himself ripping Frenzy to pieces. Before he knew it, he had collapsed once again from over-exertion.
But, unlike how it had been previously, the perceived duration of his sleep was very short.
It was like he closed his eyes one moment, and by the time he had opened them again, he was in a new place. Hua Yan suspected that the amount of time that had passed between blinks was only a breath.
