Chapter 326 – Unpredictable Immortal! (1/2)
Chapter 326: Unpredictable immortal!
A bright silver light was suddenly appearing.
Before there were any signs of the enemy, a brother's head was separated from his body.
These black mounted soldiers were the personal defence troops of the Governor of Yun Province, Liu Qingming, the brothers who had followed him up north and down south, who he can trust with his life. Each of these people could fight hundreds of enemies alone. They are iron-willed elites that the Lu family specially selected from the military and trained for Lu Qingming.
The incident had happened too suddenly, when the first brother was beheaded, the second and third brothers had already kicked their steel boots, the herd of horse had gathered momentum, charging ahead to where the headless corpse was.
But no one knew what was waiting for them ahead.
A sword pit? An arrow formation? Or an ambush of countless masters?
“Stop——”
Yue Feilong bellowed, pulling back on the reins with his left hand to drag the horse that was charging ahead back, and drawing the West wind blade with his right. He swung his blade horizontally behind him, and all of a sudden his body was in front of Lu Qingming's horse.
At the same time, Li Pingan also performed the same movements as Yue Feilong, with a swift horizontal swing of his blade, he used his body to s.h.i.+eld the other side of Lu Qingming.
Yue Feilong and Li Pingan were the Heng and Ha* of Liu Qingming. Although they were usually seen laughing and cursing and not serious at all, when their master was in danger, they were willing to sacrifice themselves.
*Two fierce-looking G.o.ds usually guarding a temple gate
Their existence was to block swords.
No other mounted soldiers were afraid of the sudden onslaught, immediately signalling their horse towards Yue Feilong and Li Pingan, as they had been trained for thousands of times before and surrounded them both.
107 brothers, 107 horses.
107 brothers and 107 horses had formed an impenetrable blade formation.
Che——
105 mounted soldiers drew their blades simultaneously.
The blade light was like the scorching sun, the horses' hooves stomped the soil of spring violently.
After a series of actions, Liu Qingming's figure had disappeared, fusing together with the other 106 people.
After a moment of mixed chaos, the bamboo sea restored into tranquillity once more.
Dark robes. Black fabric.
West Wind blades. Northern Horses.
The 107 soldiers, with the West wind blade raised, were scanning in all directions that the enemy may invade with piercing eyes.
In the bamboo sea, where the drop of a needle could be heard, there was only the sound of heavy breathing from the steeds.
As soon as the a.s.sa.s.sin struck, there was no sign of him, no clue to his whereabouts.
“Huu——”
A gust of cold wind swept around them, whipping the horse's mane up, the rainwear draped over the soldiers' shoulders flapping wildly in the wind.
Both the men and horses felt a piercing chill.
Swoosh—
A piece of bamboo leaf floated down from above.
Everyone looked up as if the a.s.sa.s.sin was going to descend from the sky and launch a heavy blow.
“Straight ahead.” Yue Feilong shouted, drawing a fierce silvery light with the West Wind blade.
The blade qi cuts through the air, buzzing and screeching.
Countless blade light were erupting at the same time, criss-crossing in the air, silver brilliance spreading across the sky, dispersing and breaking up the rain and fog, illuminating the bamboo sea like it was day.
Che!
A piece of white clothing was floating in the air, but there was no sign of the owner.
“Come out.” Astride his horse, Yue Feilong stepped out of the blade formation, gazing intently at the rain and fog ahead, and roared, “Did you not want to kill? You won't be able to complete your master's order by hiding in fear?”
“Lu family's blade formation really lives up to its reputation. 107 people united all strength to defend against an attack together. Also coincides with Lu clan's 'unintentional mantra' and the rugged pace——The Lu clan is willing to teach their unique techniques to servants. Doing such, they have achieved wonderful results.” A feminine voice sounded.
The voice was occasionally far, occasionally near, sometimes left and sometimes right. And from time to time it sounded from above and from the centre of the soldiers.
Illusory, like a ghost.
But no one in the blade formation panicked or moved.
Because they knew that this was the a.s.sa.s.sin's Sound Disruption technique to confuse their minds, throw them into disorder, so that flaws in their formation would arise.
“Since you're so knowledgeable on the unique knowledge of our Lu family, then you must be an 'old friend' of the Lu family.” Li Pingan was situated in the centre of the formation, with a faint taunting smile on his face. “Meeting an acquaintance is a happy thing. Why won't our friend come out to see us, we brought Yun province's famous roasted belly wine, how about we have a long chat over wine in the bamboo sea? Doesn't that sound good? How about it?”
“You're going to be a bunch of dead people anyway. What is the point in meeting?” The feminine voice sounded again.
But this time everyone could tell that the sound was coming from in front.
There was a blue figure appearing in the distant, thick fog, and without making the slightest movements, he had instantly arrived in front of Yue Feilong.
It was a handsome young man, long, flowing hair draped over his shoulders and in a wide, fluttering robe.
