Book 5 Chapter 4 – Stealth Dragon Turns Into Phoenix
After Xu Ziling left, Kou Zhong’s attention was focused on the front courtyard, with the idea of as soon as there was any unusual move to flee
Looking at Xu Ziling’s full confidence as he pushed the door and went in, Kou Zhong also thought that thisthat when they left the town the next day, he wanted to ‘lead away a goat in passing’, and steal the roster a second ti to be anxious about
This kind of cold and ruthless wo or sense of justice], even if she killed hi could not help thinking about Li Xiuning, and found out that her impression in his heart has been diluted considerably, unlike previously, where it ind-around-his-dreaht thisin front of hi battle Kou Zhong was shocked No longer cared whether people would see him or not, he raised his saber and rushed upstairs
‘Bang!’ Following the sound of falling weapon, Xu Ziling’s back crashed onto the largeof Shen Luoyan’s private cha with it a splash of blood, and continued dropping down
In that split second Kou Zhong recalled Xu Ziling’s re, still be able to maintain the ‘host dark shadow flashed out to pursue the falling Xu Ziling, with one pal the air Obviously his intention was to kill
Kou Zhong forced hi; he quickly focused his mind and threw the saber in his hand out toward the ene’s body, and shouted, “Help! Thief!”
It was the full display of the superiority of Kou Zhong’s cunning and quick-wits He knew that since the opponent was able to badly injure Xu Ziling in such a short period of ti, was definitely not able to stop the enemy The only as to alert the people in Shen Luoyan’s residence, to give the enemy, whose movements were so stealthy, a little bit of concern
Of course, there was always the possibility that this person was the hidden troop planted by Shen Luoyan herself; however, seeing how this person also wanted to keep his reat In the twinkling of an eye Kou Zhong already drew up a strategy, which sole purpose was to save Xu Ziling’s little life
That person apparently had never expected he would co; because based on his astonishi+ng sense of hearing, any arden should not be able to escape his detection Yet the fact was that not until Kou Zhong shot his big saber did he realize his presence
Actually, it was also one of the reasons the intention to kill Xu Ziling e pushed the door and entered the second floor did his senses detect his presence Thereby he ca but
He was actually not a narrow-minded or someone as jealous of others more talented than he was, it’s just that heas Shen Luoyan’s
This person was precisely the world-fa Xuyan In thisin Shen Luoyan’s private chamber, the main purpose was to assassinate Shen Luoyan, so that when the Sui Ar Arain the upper hand However, because he saw Xu Ziling’s profound expertise, his assassination target changed So it was obvious that he thought highly of Xu Ziling
Like a flash of lightning the long saber shot toward his flank just below his ribs The saber’s blade emitted a dense, cold qi, which completely enveloped his body even before it reached hi Xuyan’s ability, he still had no choice but to postpone pursuing Xu Ziling and killing hith to deal with this attack
While ly he was able to catch the long saber In thealready arrived at the spot where Xu Ziling was about to land, and was able to catch hi Xuyan let out a cold snort and threw the long saber he caught straight toward Kou Zhong’s back Based on the force he exerted, he was confident this saber would skewer both round with his toes, and still hugging Xu Ziling, who by this time was drenched in his own blood and has fell into a co the lightning fast shooting saber by a hairbreadth
Yang Xuyan was about to continue pursuing the two boys when fro clothes against the wind After a short contemplation, he realized that he would not be able to kill Kou Zhong in one or two shorthe soared into the air
Kou Zhong brought Xu Ziling rolling toward the other end of the underbrush As he jumped up and about to flee, he suddenly came face to face with the most difficult decision he had to take in his whole life
If he ran back to the woodshed where Susu was hiding, he was sure they could not escape everybody’s eyes and ears, plus Xu Ziling would not receive the ht die from his heavy wounds
But if he ran away immediately, Susu would be isolated and without help, and it would be very easy for the enemy to find her
What should he do?
Shen Luoyan’s tender voice was heard from above, “Who dares to cause trouble?” Followed by the sound of clashi+ng weapons in succession, and afelt pain so deep that he nearly cried Clenching his teeth, he brought Xu Ziling toward the outer wall and leaped out Sounds of shouting and yelling immediately followed hi else
Kou Zhong ripped open Xu Ziling’s outer garments, and what he saas the pierced roster
This place was the storeroo nearby, which scale was co troops, Kou Zhong brought Xu Ziling to hide in here
Kou Zhong cried out inwardly for their luck; were it not for the roster blocking the sharp and powerful sword qi, perhaps Xu Ziling had already breathed his last
He laid Xu Ziling on the grass; his eyes closed, his face pale as death, but surprisingly his breathing was still unusually even and soft, not urgent and harsh Kou Zhong set the roster aside, tore his own clothes, and upon careful exa’s wound has already closed up and nopressed his pal’s, and quietly transferred his true qi into Xu Ziling’s body, hoping to help hi, Xu Ziling breathed out a ained his consciousness; his face was also back to its original color
Kou Zhong was greatly delighted; he could not hold tears of joy fro down his face as he exclai! You scared hast, he asked, “What is this place?”
Kou Zhong busily explained Xu Ziling’s countenance changed, “How could you leave Su Jie alone in there?”
Kou Zhong mumbled, “I had no choice but to do it Don’t worry! You stay here and rest, I will get Su Jie and bring her here”
Xu Ziling was upset, “Then what are you waiting for? Su Jie’s guts is so s reached out to pat Xu Ziling’s cheeks Out of habit he reached behind his back to fetch his long saber, but naturally he was only touching the empty scabbard, and immediately remembered that he did not have the treasure hich he could protect his body any suddenly called him back The blood drained fro was stunned
Xu Ziling sighed and said, “Based on Shen Luoyan’s astuteness, from the short halberd I left behind upstairs, she would i But when she saw that only the two of us escaping, how could she not guess that Su Jie uarantee 100 that by now Su Jie has already fallen into her hands”
“What should we do then?” Kou Zhong dejectedly asked
Xu Ziling struggled to sit up; he said, “Just help ether to Shen Luoyan to get Su Jie back”
‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’ The brass ring was banged against the ’s voice followed, “Lovely wife Luoyan, your husband Zhong Shaoye is back!”
Not too long afterwards, the h, only Shen Luoyan, one person, gracefully stood at the door, her jade countenance was as cold as the ice and snow outside, as she glowered at the giggling Kou Zhong
Naturally Kou Zhong knew that the other people were preparing an inescapable net, so that even if he greings he still could not fly away
Shen Luoyan coldly said, “Hand the roster over first, and then we can talk about other things”
Only fro knew that Susu had indeed fallen into Shen Luoyan’s hands; otherwise, how could she be that sure that the roster was in their hands?
Kou Zhong shook his head and said with a sigh, “Were it not for Xiao Ling blocking that guy froht’s sword for you, you, beautiful woman, would have been dead And now as soon as we met you already show no trace of politeness Ay! A beauty like you looking down on aany feeling or sense of justice like you, that is certainly unprecedented and never be duplicated!”
Shen Luoyan’s countenance returned to norle escape her mouth as she said, “I am really at a loss on how to catch you, these two little de in ht! Hand the roster back to ive you free rein to leave town As for what happen in the future, you’ll just have to rely on your good fortune”
