Chapter 497 - The Person Protecting Her from Behind (1/2)

Even though the veil was keeping them from looking directly at each other, Ling Chuxi could see that the originally beautiful, stunning face behind it was angered till her expression became contorted. As for Ling Chuxi herself, why her heart was practically exploding in happiness.

“Shut up!” shouted the lady angrily, sending a palm attack over in Ling Chuxi’s direction.

Indeed, this lady was truly a descendent of a sect. The moment she made a move, she used a cultivation technique in the realm of True Essence. A surge of aura full of destructiveness approached quickly. Everything it pa.s.sed turned into a clear white icy mist. Even the small blades of gra.s.s on the ground were frozen into ice crystals.

Ling Chuxi had long since been prepared for an attack. A wave of spiral Battle Qi lashed forward and then with the recoiling force of the attack, she retreated. She was not confident in securing a hard-won battle, but she was still quite confident she’d be able to retreat in one piece.

“Impudence! How dare you be so rude towards our Miss!” cried four shrill voices. Four of the lady’s handmaidens suddenly appeared from the shadows and pierced four swords towards Ling Chuxi from four different directions.

The situation just turned critical!

Just then, four people in black clothes appeared behind Ling Chuxi. Each of them resembled specters of a dark night. Their swords left their sheaths and the man who was taking the lead shouted angrily, “You must be seeking death! How dare you actually be rude to Miss Chuxi!” The four of them stood defensively with auras as strong and unwavering as the wind and pine. One could feel that their might was strong and suppressive. The dark of night made them appear even more mysterious and powerful. The gleam of their swords as they left their sheaths made one feel frightened.

This mighty aura, this elegant demeanor was obviously not one that the four handmaidens could compete against.

Four went against four and the ending to the short battle was that the girls who had snuck an attack on Ling Chuxi shrieked as they flew backwards miserably.

Not only was the veiled lady stunned, even Ling Chuxi herself was stunned.

These four men in black suddenly appearing to help Ling Chuxi was something that she herself had never thought would happen. ‘Who were these people? Each one of them had an extraordinary cultivation level and the way they addressed her was so respectful. Whose subordinates were these?’
