sent flying, blood splattered
in the air . Blood spewed from the gaping wound at the apex of the shoulders,
gushing like a minor spring as that body collapsed upon the first.
    Xin
reeled backward, his left leg a shoulder’s length in front of his right, his
sword lowered, waiting for the other combatant to make his appearance.
    The
other man entered the clearing, looking down to assess the obstacle that he
nearly tripped over.  He had no time to be surprised at the bodies at his feet
before Xin brought his sword upward in a sweeping arc and the blade severed his
neck.
    A whip
of lightning flashed across the black sky, illuminating the clearing in which
Xin awaited the next man. His eyes closed, Xin swung his sword downward, expecting
to feel the counter-pressure of the wall of flesh, but the blade met thin air
instead. His eyes flew up to meet the shocked wild fear in the eyes of the
fourth perpetrator, who assessed the bloody scene before reaching for his hand
gun and firing off two shots in Xin’s direction.
    Xin
straightened and pivoted on his right foot, dragging his left foot to his right
side from behind. Facing away from the gunman, he pulled his katana forward above
his head. The blade against his back, Xin steadfastly blocked each shot from
entering his body – sight unseen. He then waited for a lapse in firing to
quickly turn around, wielding his sword in a 360-degree turn, counter-clockwise,
drawing the sword down heavily.
    Shwoop; the
blade slashed the flesh of the neck hard, sending the man’s head spinning
through the air. Blood splattered in an uneven spiral, and the rest of the
man’s body tumbled to the forest floor.  
    Fuckin’
shit!
    Xin
cursed silently. He coolly slashed the air beside him with the katana shaking
off the blood and flesh with a vwip .  
    Xin
was vexed with himself for allowing the last man to get some shots at him. He had
hoped to cut down more men at this stage, but because of the early release of
gunfire it was already time for phase two. He could hear the other men speed
up, advancing towards his point. Untroubled by the bloody cadavers at his feet,
he sidestepped the slaughtered guards.
     Xin
crouched down by the side of the path beyond the boulders and felt for the
ropes he had tied into a heaving line knot and stashed beneath the dense carpet
of wet leaves. The ropes were extended across the path at particular intervals,
parallel to each other, and camouflaged by fallen leaves. Xin held the loop of
the knot and waited as the footsteps of the men to come nearer and nearer. As
feet of the front-line guards trampled on the hidden ropes, Xin stood, yanking
on the heaving knot. The ropes rose, causing the men to collapse upon each
other as they lost their balance. Xin then attacked the men where they lay.
Coming upon them he proceeded to stab them on the ground in the jugular and
heart. He gouged out their stomachs, moving quickly.  
    Xin
managed to slaughter nine more men before an armed gunman at the rear spotted
him and opened fire. Xin then jumped over the boulders to his right and
disappeared into the darkness of the night forest.

CHAPTER 5
    “
Payne!” Viktor barked, looking down at Kelly. Kelly nearly jumped at the unspoken
threat in the violent spew of his name. He eyed Viktor warily, crouched on the
floor as he cradled the head of one of the armed gunmen in his hands. He shook
his head.
    “Shit!”
Viktor expelled through clenched teeth. “Not good Kelly-not good at all. Try
one more then we move door-to-door.”
    Kelly
nodded. “Aye, commander.” He saluted him, never without his sense of humor.
Viktor did not waver at the official address. He spun around and continued to
monitor the hallway beyond.
    Kelly
yanked a thin gold acupuncture pin from the base of the gunman’s head, which he
had used to puncture his spine. The pins were constructed from nano-technology
and served as a transmitter between the gunmen and Kelly, who often used them
in his interrogative
