Chapter 533: Ambush in the Forest

Translator: DavidT Editor: DavidT, Rock

An abrupt change!

A sharp whistle sounded followed by a wave of swoos.h.i.+ng sounds breaking through the sky . A dense wave of arrows then shot towards the Yu Family's troops from all directions like the rain . Most of the arrows were shot down from a high point and were extremely accurate .

The Yu Family's experts who were still in their fairyland dreams were like the patrons of a brothel receiving a stick to their face just when they were at the peak of the moment . Countless groans and miserable moans of disbelief sounded and there were even a few high pitched shrieks which almost made everyone go deaf! A few hundred burly figures collapsed from horseback and rolled on the ground groaning . Their blood painted the forest floor red and all of their riches added a s.h.i.+mmering gold and silver to the red painting .

Those who were 'luckier' actually had dozens of arrows sticking out of their body and looked like a life-sized porcupine . There were even some who had so much jewelry and gold on them that the arrows were unable to strike their flesh but were deflected by those treasures instead . The greedy were truly more blessed . There were even some who were completely unscathed!

Countless Shui Family experts then charged out from the dense forest and their sword lights shot towards the sky . They immediately tangled together with the White and Purple Jade experts of the Yu Family in a large chaotic battle!

”Stay calm! Everyone form a circular formation and do not break formation . Protect the injured within the circle and face the outside together!” Yu ZhanKong recovered from the initial shock and roared out commands . At the same time, he felt like puking blood from regret!

I have underestimated the enemy! I knew that the Shui Family members must have had ulterior motives for coming to Heavenly Star . The Family Head had hinted me to be wary of them but I underestimated them because their forces in Northern Wei were wiped out! It is all because of the two old Ling fools! If not for those two old b*st*rds misleading us, how would we be trapped in such a miserable plight! At this moment, Yu ZhanKong who had no avenue to vent his frustrations made the two Ling elders his target . He hated the fact that he could not swallow the two of them whole!

There were plenty of troops from the Shui Family who entered Sky Bearing this time . As half the local snake in Sky Bearing, the Yu Family naturally noticed the arrival of the Shui Family . During a banquet with Duke Ling, Duke Ling had mentioned to Yu ZhanKong and Yu ZhanShui that Water of Heavenly Wind wanted to spend a large fortune to construct a manor in Sky Bearing . At the same time, they wanted to form an alliance with the Ling Family and they were currently in discussion with the Ling Family to buy a plot of land . After that, Duke Ling then changed the topic and did not elaborate on the matter further .

While Duke Ling did not elaborate on the topic, Yu ZhanShui himself would naturally not let the matter go so easily . If their old rival wanted to purchase a plot of land in 'their own' territory, he naturally had to send men to investigate the matter . After a series of investigation, everything was indeed just as what Duke Ling had said . The Shui Family had already chosen a place and date to start the construction . At the same time, they were hiring workers for the job . On top of that, many of the members of the Shui Family who came to Sky Bearing were talented architects . After hearing the same piece of news from a few different sources, Yu ZhanKong and Yu ZhanShui were at ease . At the same time, they also made plans to burn down the new Shui manor after the construction was almost done to let the Shui Family suffer huge losses! You actually want to construct a manor in the second camp of our Yu Family, Sky Bearing City? You are really seeking death!

The two of them naturally did not know that all the sources of information in Sky Bearing were in the hands of the Violent Wind Gang . This so-called construction project of the Shui Family was intentionally spread to confuse and numb the Yu Family . As for ensuring that all sources of information would spread the same news, that was the specialty of the Violent Wind Gang! Together with the fact that everything went their way after the Yu Family arrived in Sky Bearing, the guard of the Yu Family was lowered and they were no different from spoiled children . They were no longer as alert as the time they first came, and never imagined that someone would make a fool out of them in their 'second camp'!

The ambush was just too sudden and despite Yu ZhanShui and Yu ZhanKong trying their best to buy time for their subordinates, they were already trapped in the dense forest and their enemy's encirclement . They were being attacked from all directions and it was impossible for them to form up into an effective formation in a short period of time . Hearing Yu ZhanKong's orders, apart from half of the White Jade experts who were able to form a formation with their superior cultivation, the others were trapped in a bitter battle with the Shui Family experts . Miserable groans sounded all over the place and the sound of swords puncturing into the human flesh could be heard all around . In just a short few minutes, the Yu Family had already suffered severe casualties!

Endless Shui Family's disciples jumped down from the trees and joined into the battle . At the same time, the earth would suddenly loosen and a Shui Family disciple covered in mud would suddenly spring forward from underground, killing many Yu Family experts in a short moment . On top of that, there would be sharp arrows slicing through the air with the targets being the Yu Family members who were like fish on a chopping board! With almost every arrow released, a miserable shriek would accompany it!

Yu ZhanKong's eyes were bloodshot and he pounced forward while brandis.h.i.+ng his sword . His strength was at a completely different level than an ordinary White Jade disciple and even with enemies all around him, the Shui Family's disciples would fall onto the ground wherever he went . All of a sudden, a bright light flashed and Shui QianRou shot into the air with her sword pointing forward and clothes fluttering in the wind . She then shot down from the tree like a gust of wind and in just a blink of an eye, she covered a distance of seventy feet . Together with a brilliant splendor from her sword, she descended from above and charged straight at Yu ZhanKong .

Yu ZhanKong did not bother dodging the blow and he swung his sword forward with a loud roar . With a loud clang, both the swords met and sparks shot out in all directions . Yu ZhanKong was forced back two steps before he could withstand the force of Shui QianRou's strike . Shui QianRou then spun around in the air and kicking the trunk of a large tree, she shot back towards Yu ZhanKong again and engaged in a bitter battle with him .

The six Shui Elders also emerged from their hiding spots in unison and attacked together . They charged into the crowd with their sleeves floating in the wind with every action of theirs looking extremely carefree and unrestrained . However, not a single shred of mercy could be seen in their blows and a wave of miserable groans sounded .

The situation on the battlefield was extremely intense!
