Chapter 17 (1/2)

Although it was very late into the night, Shen Ling was still awake.

He ran back and forth on the wall of his courtyard, and from time to time, he would step into the air.

This alone should have resulted in him stumbling or even falling on his face, but none of that happened.

Shen Ling, who stepped into the air, felt as if he was stepping on an invisible wall. His entire body could be suspended in the air for more than a second.

After then, he landed on the ground with a heavy thud.

When he remembered how he felt when he stepped into the air, a smile appeared on his face.

It seemed too good to be true. He was stepping into the air.

Although this first level only allowed him to take one step, when it came to the actual combat, this step alone was enough for him to turn the table!

Two days later.

Shen Ling stood at the entrance of the Shen residence and stared at the pedestrians going about their daily activities. Just then, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. “Why aren’t they here yet?” he thought to himself.

Time passed by slowly.

After waiting for a while, he couldn’t help but frown.

It was already past the estimated time for the Yang family to arrive. Could it be that they encountered any problem on the road?

“Bring my horse over here!”

The servant quickly brought it to Shen Ling’s side. He quickly jumped on the horse and took the reins.

“Move!”

Not long after he left the Shen residence, he was also out of Qi Hua City.

He passed through the official road and kept looking around.

He went one kilometer, and there was no sign.

Three kilometers, still nothing…

Just as he was still wondering what the matter could be, he heard a noise in front of him. This was so sudden.

The noise wasn’t so loud and he even wondered if he had misheard.

But as he kept moving forward, he could still hear it.

He was not wrong. It was the sound of metals clashing and low growls of people fighting.

People were fighting!

He rode his horse and rushed quickly to the battlefield.

When he got to the scene, he saw a group of men in black, surrounding the guards of the carriage. By the time he took note of the carriage, Ling saw that it looked like the exact carriage that Miss Qin had told him about.

This was supposed to be the carriage that had Yang Jian and his family of six.

Shen Ling came down from his horse.

This was when the two men in black noticed him and exchanged glances. Without thinking, they aimed at him at the same time.

Shen Ling, on the other hand, held the hilt of his Saber in his right hand and raised his head slowly.

This was the first time he was using this Saber ever since he got it.

The moment Shen Ling stopped, both men were already in front of him.

They both held a sharp sword in their hands and attacked from both directions at the same time. Their sword moves blocked off all possibilities of him dodging.

This kind of tacit understanding and cooperation made him exclaim secretly in admiration.

However, unlucky for them, Shen Ling didn’t even think of dodging.

The black Saber in his hand was unsheathed instantly as he walked slowly behind both of them.

A strong gust of wind blew and the two assassins with extraordinary skills and cooperation fell to the ground with a loud bang. Fresh blood spurted out of their throats and their eyes became blank before they gave up the ghost.

Shen Ling continued to move forward while also waving the black knife he was holding.

Under his violent push, the remaining assassins died one after another under the black knife.

The fresh blood of these men dyed the road red. The carriage guards, who were on the verge of death, yelled all of a sudden, “Reinforcements are here, kill them!”

One of the guards was able to quickly finish up the enemy in front of him and happened to take a look in Shen Ling’s direction.

With that brief look, the guard was able to see a man in black standing on a high ground trying to fire an arrow aimed at Shen Ling.

“Be careful!”

When Shen Ling heard this, he turned around to look in the other direction.

He saw the arrow coming towards him at high speed and subconsciously turned his head to the left and with his left hand, he caught the arrow.

Although he was holding the arrow, the arrowhead was still trembling.

He took his time to observe the arrow with a bleed slot at close range. After that, he forcefully broke it in two with his left hand.
