Chapter 24: Abducting the Princess (II)
“Let go of the Princess!!
“What are you doing, do you know who you’re holding!”
“Release the princess immediately, do you want to rebel?”
The crowd stood up in confusion, and most of the people were starting to retreat subconsciously in order to avoid trouble. From the start, they did not expect to see the legendary princess, and afterwards, they could only watch helplessly as the princess was being kidnapped. The crowd looked towards Ye Wu Chen, their eyes were filled with pity —— to dare hold a sword to the princess’ neck, this person’s life was completely finished.
Above the Luan palanquin, one of Ye Wu Chen’s hands was embracing Ning Xue, and the other arm was hooked around the frightened little princess, holding a sword to her neck. The pitiful little princess did not dare to move, her watery eyes were glistening with tears, like contaminated dew on a tender lotus, making her look pitiful, her small mouth was biting her lips, and the tip of her nose were slightly trembling. This was the first time in her life that a man held a sword to her neck.
Under their protection, the princess was unexpectedly abducted by a man holding a sword, cold sweat was constantly running down on Wu Shang’s forehead, regardless of whether the princess were rescued safely or not, his dereliction of duty was a crime he could not escape, and if the princess were to have an accident, even if the emperor could forgive him, he would rather commit suicide to apologize for his mistakes.
He had scanned the surroundings with his Qi beforehand, and there were no possible dangers or anyone with a powerful Qi, he also felt that Ye Wu Chen was nothing more than an ordinary man, that was why he dared to move 5 steps away from the princess, his mind was not also on guard when he dealt with that situation, during the instance that he was stunned, Ye Wu Chen effortlessly broke his way into their gap, using his quick speed to rush inside the Luan Palanquin, while he was moving, he easily stole a sword from one of the imperial guard’s belt and held it to the princess’ neck.
Wu Shang had a dismal expression as he whispered: “Wind evasion technique, you are unexpectedly, a rare wind sorcerer.
Ye Wu Chen had indeed used a low level wind magic, the wind evasion technique, which could improve a person’s speed for a short time.
“Wind sorcerer?”
The crowd was excitedly talking again, a few people even showed clear expressions of envy and jealousy. A sorcerer was a rare and respected profession, only those who were talented and had magic in their bodies could study in it, which were very few. Ifa sorcerer and a warrior of the same rank were to fight, it would be difficult to determine which was stronger, but if they were to fight in a war, a sorcerer’s formidable power would be enough to face tens or even several hundreds of warriors of the same rank, because powerful sorcerers possesses frightening attack range and devastating magic, and magic which are special in nature, it allows them to become experts in many different fields of expertise, therefore people who could cultivate magic were always highly valued by the nations,they would be sent to the sorcerer guild of the nation and they would not have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives.
Silently hiding in the crowd, Long Zheng Yang had difficulty resisting not showing himself, because if he showed himself now, it might make the situation worse, and the onlookers would see the imperial family as a joke. He believed that Ye Wu Chen did not truly intend to harm her younger sister, and he could only do his best to signal him with his eyes. Seeing that Wu Shang was stunned just a while ago…… didn’t grandpa said that he was the Sword Deity’s descendant? Could it be that he had what the internal palace had always worshipped —— double cultivation of martial arts and magic!?
When Ye Wu Chen said the following words, they almost jumped out of shock.
“Kneel down, and slap yourselves 3 times.” Ye Wu Chen did not reply to Wu Shang, and instead, he had ordered them, his voice was cold and severe, and had no traces that he was just joking around.
Long Zheng Yang desperately tried to communicate with his eyes…… Brother Ye, you are my brother! Even if you are the sword deity’s descendant, how can you play around like this? You abducted my younger sister, and I can barely contain myself, if you are truly just playing around……
They did not see that, when Ye Wu Chen appeared on the Luan Palanquin, two people within the crowd were looking at each other, one servant had an expression like he had seen a ghost, and had hurriedly rushed away towards the direction of the Tian Long City’s Ye family.
After those short words, Wu Shang’s face turned even more gloomy, each of the imperial guards had a dark expression and were glaring at Ye Wu Chen, they had surrounded and encircled him, but they did not dare to take a step forward.
