Tian Can

A boy who was rescued by Jun Wuyi. Jun Moxie trains him to be an assassin and a few years later he became an excellent assassin rising to the rank of assassins with Di Que.

Jun Mo Xie cracked his brains and came up with two heroic names for the kids: Tian Can and Di Que!

Obviously, Jun Mo Xie was playing around with the names. He would never have imagined that many years in the future, the names Tian Can and Di Que would resonate throughout the entire continent…

Many years later, these names would become the names of taboo in the entire assassin world!

## Story

These two were among the many children he and his uncle had rescued from the Huang Hua Hall. The rest of the children had been re-located to good places. However, these two children had refused to leave for the life of them. They only desired to learn the skills they’d need to extract their revenge.

Their disabilities couldn’t be regarded as ‘very serious’. However, they were both mute. Their tongues had been cut into half. They would never speak again. Moreover, one of them had only one arm left.

These kids had astonishing willpower, and their hatred towards their enemy would also be helpful. However, their aptitude was mediocre; to say nothing of the fact that they had become physically handicapped.

Jun Mo Xie was startled. Those two must be around thirteen or fourteen years in age. However, their eyes no longer showed the same longing and urgency of the past few days. That expression had been replaced by deathly stillness.

However, it wasn’t exactly an empty sort of deathly stillness. Rather, it was one where they had disregarded life and death; it was the deathly still of an individual who had disregarded the mortal world.

That ‘deathly stillness’ wasn’t synonymous with ‘emptiness’.

Jun Mo Xie sighed inside. [These are the eyes of a top-notch killer.] One could only bring-out this expression in their eyes once they had been oppressed to an extreme degree, and had begun to consider human life as worthless. In fact, such people considered their own life to be worthless.

Determination?

The two children looked at each other. Then, they nodded heavily in unison.

The child on the left slowly extended the finger of his remaining hand to his mouth. He then bit-down on it resolutely. The kid bit with considerable effort, and tilted his head to the side until he had torn-off a chunk of his own flesh. A river of blood rushed-out from that finger. His entire body shivered with pain, and his face had gone deathly. However, he was otherwise motionless. The child then started to write a character on the ground with the flow of his own blood. He had only written about half of it when the blood-flow slowed down. The boy looked at it in an unsatisfied manner. He then brought his finger to his mouth again. He desperately and ferociously bit-down on it again as he tore-out some more flesh.

A small piece of finger’s bone was also pulled out. The white mix of flesh and bone fell-down. A fountain of blood shot-out. The fountain of blood gushed-out far, and some of it was even spilt on Jun Mo Xie’s face.

The other child mimicked the first one, and bit into his finger as well. The two children’s bodies shivered, yet they maintained control over themselves as the blood gushed-out. The children then drew big and straight characters on the ground.

The child on the left wrote, “I will kill them by hacking them down. I will have no regrets till I die.”

The child on the right wrote, “Those who aren’t powerful — can only die; nothing more.”

Their words contained power. The two of them were trembling with pain; but, they wrote each character meticulously, and with a lot of effort.
