Chapter 307 (2/2)

The guards were only regular people, and while his men were shameless, they were still Level 7 or 8 martial artists and magicians. This was nothing to them.

“Pretty girl, the people you are looking for are inside, but we should retreat because the bad people inside are very strong. He has more than ten Di (earthly) level experts with him. We might not be able to fight them!” said the duke solemnly. This was his trick.

He wanted to lure Ye Zhiqing away so she would leave with him. He definitely didn’t want her to enter the premises because he didn’t want to provoke anyone inside. No matter how perverted he was, he still wouldn’t dare to!

Based on his logic, Ye Zhiqing would temporarily retreat once she heard how powerful the people inside were. However, he didn’t expect her to be so brave.

“I know. If they could capture Ye Lanyu and the rest, they must be very strong. I’ll definitely not be able to fight them! But, I can’t leave. I need to look for them inside!” Ye Zhiqing started to walk inside.

“...” The duke didn’t understand why this girl still wanted to enter.

“Sir, what now?” whispered the swordsman.

“Tie the girl up and leave!” The duke had no choice but to use violence since he couldn’t make her leave the ‘soft’ way. They should be able to catch the girl without alerting the people inside.

“Yes, sir!”

The shameless men nodded, separated, then charged at her very quickly. They naturally were not going to attract Ye Zhiqing’s attention, they wanted the struggle to be very short.

“??” Ye Zhiqing very quickly noticed something was wrong. These people didn’t seem like good people. Without thinking, she unsheathed both her longswords.

The common practice was to ready yourself whenever something felt wrong, but not to observe first. When you finally spot what was wrong, it would be too late.

This was also a habit of hers. The trauma from her childhood led to her present distrust in people so she would often unsheathe her swords whenever someone accidentally stood too close.

“...” The swordsmen and the rest didn’t expect her to react so quickly. Their plan for a quick kidnapping was now foiled, it was difficult to plan the next step now.

However, they still felt like it wasn’t a huge problem yet. They could still deal with her!

The swordsman unsheathed his own sword when she unsheathed hers. He charged at her, sparks flying from the sword dragging on the ground. A sharp wave of douqi rippled off him, now forging ahead directly at Ye Zhiying.

She now understood that all these people were here to harm her. With a graceful backflip, she dodged the swordsman’s blade of douqi, her movements very gentle.

However, she had only dodged one person. There were many of them!

“Rope of Wind!”

A wisp of wind magic flew from the magician’s hands, lunging at Ye Zhiqing!

The name of this technique was self-explicable. It was a current generated by wind-attribute magic. This traps the person in the middle, a very common trick. A regular person would find it very difficult to move, but a very small person could be completely trapped inside.

It was obvious that this technique wouldn’t be enough to immobilise Ye Zhiqing, but it would definitely inconvenience her!

That meant this magic had to work successfully on her first.
