"Funeral Pyre" is the tenth chapter of the manga Assassin's Creed: Blade of Shao Jun written by Minoji Kurata.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Shao Jun races to a nearby tower bridge crossing, and scales its sides to keep hidden from the guards. Inside, she finds that it is actually an explosives store and uses the opportunity to set fire to a few bombs, destroying the tower and creating a diversion to distract the guards as she makes her escape.
Wang Yangming continues to battle against Qiu Ju and his soldiers but is heavily wounded. Shao Jun arrives and starts to assist her Mentor, dispatching several enemies. A monk from the nearby Buddhist temple calls out, telling them all that they should not bring violence to a temple of the Buddha. Qiu Ju tells the monk that the fight is not his concern and tries to rush him, but is easily overpowered.
Ultimately, the Templar yields to the request and withdraws his men, but as he leaves he mocks Shao Jun that he has already achieved his aim. Wang Yangming collapses to the ground and tells Shao Jun to keep fighting for peace and order as he finally succumbs to his fatal injuries.
