FLIGHT OF THE DRAGON, DANCE OF THE PHOENIX – CHAPTER 21

Mrs Long San who ran for her life and becarant

When Feng Ning collapsed, it gave the three assassins quite a scare, as they thought she was just pretending As they paused for just a ed the assassins in co a respite in which to catch her breath

She supported herself with her hands on the ground and forced herself to get up, and placed the container inside her clothes, at seeing this aclenched her teeth and dodged the attack, and saw frouard receive a blow and stop e of the stairs At this tiuard was forced to turn around and defend against hi to fall into the unfavorable situation of three-on-one odds

At this ti’s entire body was stiff, and she had no confidence in herself, there was no escape route behind her, while there were strong enemies in front, and she felt like she was stuck between a rock and a hard place She backed up step by step, until her back was leaning against the sill The three men in black raised their swords and blocked her path, and Feng Ning just stared at them, while her mind was completely blank

“Give us the ite in a cold tone of voice

Feng Ning stared at his eyes, and kept silent Another man in black looked at the lake outside thea bit nervously, they didn’t force the issue against Feng Ning because they orried that Feng Ning would juh, and if the item sank with her, that would be the worst case scenario

Feng Ning kept an expressionless face, and breathed deeply several times, she tried her best to not think about as outside the , she thought instead about the expression that Long San had when he said “I trust you” to her, the sincerity in his eyes at that moment

The man in black narrowed his eyes, and lost his patience, and stabbed at Feng Ning in a lightning-fast attack, but unexpectedly, at thisshouted loudly, and swept her blade towards the three of thee the attack, and Feng Ning took this opportunity to throay her blade, and she turned around and ju: “even if I die, I won’t let you guys have it”

When Feng Ning jumped, not only were the threeherself felt her heart stop for several beats as well After juhtly as she could, and she couldn’t see anything, and relying only on her instinct and intuition, as she was falling froainst the sill, and she used this to swing herself up onto the rooftop

Without being able to see anything, she wasn’t able to position her hands correctly, she alht into the roof, she injured the tips of her fingers by scraping theer as well, it hurt quite a lot, but she couldn’t worry about all this right now, the moment her feet landed on the roof she opened her eyes She didn’t land that well, and her body shook back and forth a few times, and she alain her balance, and considered herself really lucky

Since the lake was right behind her, Feng Ning’s entire body was quite stiff, and she didn’t have the courage to look behind her, she started running immediately, and wanted to juain, but saw that twotheir swords at her while shouting so her location to the other assassins At this time, the threeher, and Feng Ning had no e her direction, and she jumped towards a nearby tall tree

Thewas unaretting more and more scared as she ran, she really hoped that she could meet up with someone that could help her, but she also worried that if sheFamily that eaker in martial arts, that it would cause their deaths instead, she couldn’t think of what to do

While sprinting, she reached the extre took a look behind her, there were actually six or sevenelse just for the container that was on her Feng Ning clenched her teeth, and ju on the tips of her toes, she leaped over the wall

The pitch-dark streets were eerily quiet, Feng Ning ran towards the wrong direction, taking the opposite direction of the officials and the e Manor, she didn’t meet any allies, and she couldn’t find any place to escape to in such a large town, as the men in black behind her pursued her relentlessly, she could only sprint all-out, taking asaround throughout town, until she finally hid herself in a clu, and was able to take some breaths of respite

Feng Ning thought, it should becoht out soon, since the men in black were dressed like that, they wouldn’t dare to behave like that in broad daylight, they would have to stop soive her a chance to bring the iteht, ill happen even if she brings the ite San, and the guards ht as well, since these assassins had the audacity to attack a general’s residence right under the nose of the e behind them in order to even dare such an attempt

They knehat to target, and even had the specific location of the container’s hiding spot pinned down, as well as knowing Grandma Yu’s status, and knew the for won’t believe that there isn’t a traitor within the Long Faht about Xia Er, perhaps Xia Er was one of the spies? But she had been accidentally chased out of the manor, and since the ainst it, if she brings this iteain?

As Feng Ning curled up within the stinky cluht that the best plan of action would be to hide until Long Er or Long San returned, and she could give it back to one of them personally

She thought over and over about it, and decided not to return to the et out of town and hide in the suburbs for two days or so, to wait for Long San and the others to return

The sky gradually turned brighter and brighter, and Feng Ning put her ear against the ground and listened, and heard nothe area, then she finally crawled out of the grass as quietly as possible At such a re took a good look at herself, she was covered all over in dirt and blood, and she wasn’t able to cohting, her socks were , this probably doesn’t look any better for her than wearing night clothes does
