15 Chapter 16: Bluff (1/2)
A veteran Thief, 35 year old Zhao jin looked at the blue sky while lying flat on the ground.
'Damn. To have suffered a complete defeat from those Chu Palace.'
He touched his hard chin and frowned.
A long and terrible blade scar below his left eye.
'If that blade was any closer, I would have died, alas all I have as a memory is this scar.' He grits his teeth while thinking.
'Bastards from the Chu palace....Why did they have to join the dealing of our Veil city's underworld.' His brows scrunched together in anger.
'I will certainly take my revenge, you dare destroy Eagle gang.'
Zhao jin, who came from Veil city's territories located within the south of Setaroth. Forced into an absolute defeat at the battle against Chu palace last night. And because of that, he and his fellow gang members could only flee to the south of the city. When he thought of all that was lost, he became angry.
.
'Huh?'
He heard a strange sound.
Sweeee.
The sound of something sharp splitting through the sky.
Zhao raised his head while still lying on the ground.
”Ugh!”
At that precise moment, his eyes widen in disbelief as if it were about to pop out. The black arrows covered the blue sky.
”Damn!”He grabbed his shield to cover his body while he crouched behind it.
”It's the enemy! Bloody Chu!!! I'll f*ck your ancestors!” He roared in frustration.
Sounds of abrupt rousing was heard everywhere. However, the actions of Him men who just woke up from their dreams were sluggish.
choot, choot, choot, choot!
The rain of arrows drenches the ground.
”ugh!!!!”
”Arrgh.” several screams rolled across the valley.
The rain of arrows continued once more.
And after that, Footsteps could be heard
”””””Haaaaa!!!!””””As he glanced his head over his shield, he glimpsed the incoming charge of the Chu clansmen.
”Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!”Zhao jin yelled with all of his strength, but the bandits couldn't think straight.
'Damn! For us to suffer from a surprise attack instead!'
Zhao jin could only clench his teeth, and unsheathed his well polished war sword.
”Bring it! You filthy Bastards! I will show you the true strength of my Eagle gang!”
”Ugh!”
Zhao jin slashed his war sword towards a Chu clansman who was passing next to him.
Swish.
His sword slices him, cleaving it into two parts.
Heeng!
The Man whose fierce charge was ended shortly and as he tumbled to the ground.
Dead!
Zhao jin leapt through the scattered dust cloud, charging towards the other dazed chu man in front.
”Die!”
The tip of his war sword slashed down through the air.
”Kugh.”
Then, a spear appeared – passing through the dust.
Kang!
A clear sound of jarred metal against metal.
The war sword bounces off; after it is deflected by a spear.
”Kugh.”
Zhao jin clenched his teeth, and turned his head towards the owner of that spear.
A childish face and a mildly short physique.
At least, for Zhao jin, he seemed to be but only a novice.
”A fucking child dares to interfere!”
He spun his war sword and slashed it down fiercely.
At that moment, the spear which was placed firmly bends like a stream of water and pivots horizontally.
”Hup!”
astonished, Zhao jin gulped air at the unexpected movements while quickly raising his shield to block.
Tang!
The spear collides with the shield, and a heavy throbbing noise is heard.
The spear bounced off the shield as the teenager spins and diverts his attack to Zhao jin's back.
”Damn.”
He crouched down to evade the spear.
However, the movements of the spear still continued to flow like a stream of water.
'His face is that of a young novice, but his skills are truly that of a veteran!' Zhao jin hurriedly took a breath of air, and then charged through.
