Chapter 460: An Old Friend

Translator: chuchutrain Editor: DavidT, Rock

The lady only let out a despairing scream as she closed her eyes, ready to commit suicide by biting her tongue! She would rather die than to suffer such humiliation .

However, she suddenly felt something wet on her face, as though it suddenly started to rain . Furthermore, there was sort of a salty smell to it, making her feel extremely confused . Wasn't it still s.h.i.+ning brightly just now? It was only after the two disgusting hands that were holding onto her robes fell off, followed by screams of pain, that she opened her eyes in shock .

A masked person in gray had rushed over like a whirlwind, and it was not known when the guard's hands that were grabbing her were suddenly separated from his body . The guard in question was shouting himself hoa.r.s.e from misery . His current tragic appearance made some people feel much better!

Ling Tian's gaze was cold, his moves decisive and ruthless . He brandished the blade in his hand, and with the flash of steel, five of them were already on the ground . It was as though he was chopping vegetables, with movements so quick that it occurred even before the scream came out from the mouth of the guard with severed hands!

The rest of the guards brandished their blades in return and rushed towards Ling Tian . The latter only snorted as his figure quickly rushed forwards . There was a dull gleam and Ling Tian slowly breezed back . However, instead of continuing their chase, the ten odd guards stupidly stood at their original spot, every one of their faces gradually turning ash-grey . . .

Bringing his blade down, the rest of the ropes binding the lady quickly fell on the ground . Ling Tian then flicked his wrist, sending the short sword in his hand out like a boomerang .

In an alley, a fortunate guard was hurriedly escaping for his life . Just as he was about to turn the corner, and his heart unconsciously relaxed a little, he felt an acute danger behind . Turning around, he happened to see the steel blade shoot towards his chest, clearly noting how it pierced through his chest to embed itself in the wall behind him, still trembling from the force . After that, his world became black . . .

Putong! Those guards who were originally frozen in their positions started falling down one by one . Before they hit the ground, all their heads split apart like watermelons . . .

Just now, when Ling Tian rushed forwards to meet them, he had beheaded all of them with one slash . However, due to his speed, they died before their heads could even leave the body, creating a scenario where they were frozen for a second in their positions much like being attacked by a fiend . . .

Upon seeing this scene, the guard with severed hands immediately started trembling, and despite opening his mouth, no sound could come out . It was only after rapidly blinking that he suddenly kneeled down on the floor, tears and mucus flowing out as he screamed loudly, ”Spare me, hero! This little one deserves death, I… I won't dare to do this anymore…”

Ling Tian sneered, he was not interested at all in his nonsense . His foot viciously struck out, perfectly hitting the sensitive spot of the guard . A dull cracking sound could be heard, as though two eggs had been shattered… That guard did a backflip from the impact of Ling Tian's kick, and his eyes rolled back as he opened his mouth wide . But he dared not utter a sound, merely hyperventilating as his facial features scrunched up so hard they seemed to meld together . In an instant, his s.h.i.+rt was wet with cold sweat .

Glancing at the lady who stood by the side and was still in a daze, Ling Tian twisted his lips, ”Hey, do you want to personally kill him?”

The lady in question blinked before coming back into reality . Her blackened face flushed with a red of embarra.s.sment, and she suddenly picked up a blade as though possessed, viciously slas.h.i.+ng down on the guard's head . The guard only had time to stammer a 'spare me' before his head too burst open, spilling all over the floor and creating a stench .

Throwing the blade to the side, the lady trembled, taking a while before she recovered . As she turned back to face Ling Tian, she bowed, ”Many thanks to Sir for saving my life . This favor of protecting my chast.i.ty and reputation is not one that I will forget as long as I live . Dare I ask for your esteemed name, in hopes that I can repay your favor some day?!” While she had just narrowly escaped, she was actually able to restore her elegant demeanor, unlike normal ladies who would look as though their souls had been taken away .

Ling Tian had a teasing light in his eyes as he lightly laughed, ”Miss Xiao, it looks like life is full of coincidences . Why is it that every time I see you, it has to be you being involved in some disastrous scene? The last time was so, this time too! Looks like I'm really your lucky star!”

”You . . . ” The lady got a rude shock, staring with wide eyes at Ling Tian, before suddenly shrilling, ”You're… Ling Tian?!”
