Chapter 53 (1/2)

”Protect the young master!” Ling Yi shouted as he jumped in front of the carriage and pulled out his blade. With two swings of the blade, he blocked two arrows flying towards him.

The Ling family guards were all seasoned in battle and handpicked from the elites from the army. They would naturally not place a mere arrow barrage such as this in their sights. A few of them guarded the front of the carriage with the blades in their hands brandis.h.i.+ng to deflect all of the poisonous arrows. There were a few arrows which could not have been avoided. However, right before the arrow hit the guards, it suddenly lost its aim and landed off the mark. There was actually not a single arrow which landed on the guards. As Ling Tian sat in the carriage, he held onto a small stone in his hands with an evil smirk on his face.

There were at least 50 to 60 of these men dressed in white, at least twice the number of guards Ling Tian had. Furthermore, they well all well trained in martial arts with an exquisite blade technique. The moment they engaged in close quarters, the guards of the Ling family could no longer defend against them and a few of them began to get injured.

Ling Yi was startled. He quickly waved his blade to force the enemy in front of him away as he shouted, ”Ling Er, I will take a few men to block them. Quickly take the young master away!”

The white-dressed men then sneered, ”Leave? Where will you run to? It’s best you all go see Hades together!”

Ling Yi was enraged as he pounced forward while brandis.h.i.+ng his blade. The both of them then began to engage in a fierce battle.

In the carriage, Ling Tian rolled his eyeb.a.l.l.s as he mumbled, ”I’ve asked you guys to not call me young master, not call me young master! You guys just won’t listen and are still calling me that! Dammit!” Mister Qin was frightened to the point his face turned pale. After he heard Ling Tian picking on his guards over such a matter at a time like this, Mister Qin did not know whether to laugh or cry.

The white dressed men had forced the 20 to 30 guards of Ling Tian to a corner as the remaining people charged by the side of the carriage. The man leading the charge then slashed downwards and sliced off the curtain covering the curtains, revealing the old and young men inside.

The man then laughed out loud, ”Kill them all!”

Behind him, all of the men in white gave a war cry as they charged forward together. But just at this moment, the situation changed.

In the carriage by the side, more than 10 men jumped out of it all of a sudden. They were all dressed in full black with even their faces being black. After they jumped out, they did not say a thing but their blades stabbed out in unison. A few shrieks then sounded as three men in white had blood spewing out of their chest and falling down on the floor. The drops of blood colored the snow white ground, as though the grounds was filled with blossom flowers.

The glares of these few men were extremely cold as they had a pressing and cold aura. That was the bloodthirsty aura that was born from the battlefield, an aura filled with killing intent!

The man leading the white dressed men then cried out in dismay, ”Not good, it’s Ling Xiao’s Blood Iron Warriors! This is a trap! We encountered an ambush, RETREAT!”

One of the warrior then pulled out his blood stained blade from the chest of the white dressed men as he face contorted into a malicious glare, ”Leave? Leave your life behind first!” He then swung his blades as he charged forward like a tiger!

The white dressed men gave a whistle as they escaped in all direction.

Ling Tian had always been seating in the carriage. Seeing that the white dressed men, his eyes flashed. If I were to really let you escape, then wouldn’t I have let down this wonderful gift which Ling Kong had gave me after such careful planning?

His hands then hid in his sleeves as stones flew out of them without any signs. The stones carried with them a large force and they landed right on the men dressed in white. Most of them hit right at the back of their knees. Only after the stones landed was one able to hear the sound of the stones breaking through the air. It was more than enough to tell just how powerful these stones were and just how fast they were!

The men who were escaping felt a sudden pain in their knees as they tripped for no reason. The Blood Iron Warriors actually ignored the men on the floor and only gave chase to all those who have escaped. There were a few of them who even charged towards the direction where Ling Yi was fighting. Their eyes flashed with excitement as though killing was the only thing that could entertain them in this world!

Ling Tian rolled his eyes, ”Not grasping those opportunities, bunch of idiots!”

Ling Er then sprinted over with the guards as he shouted from afar, ”Young master, young master, are you alright?”
