Chapter - 440 The Brides Pale Arms Parts the Red Clothing (15) (2/2)
Lu Zhangke brandished his deer staff, He Biweng moved his crane pens; together they created one golden ray and two circular black shadows striking toward Zhang Wuji.
Zhao Min knew the Xuanming Elders' power very well. Even if Zhang Wuji were stronger, but with one against two, plus he did not have any weapon in his hand, Zhao Min was afraid he might be injured. ”Xuanming Er Lao!” she called out, ”If you harm Zhang Jiaozhu, I am going to report it to Father, and he will not spare you.”
Wang Baobao was indignant. ”Everybody has the right to punish a rebel,” he said, ”Xuanming Er Lao, kill this little devil head, Fu Wang [Father King] and I will reward you handsomely.” And then he added, ”Mr. Lu, Xiao Wang [young prince – referring to self] will add four beautiful women for you, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.”
These brother and sister were giving them conflicting order; one wanted to kill him, the other said he must not be harmed. The Xuanming Elders were in a difficult position. Finally, Lu Zhangke winked at his martial brother and said in a low voice, ”Seize him alive.”
Suddenly Zhang Wuji launched the martial art from Sheng Huo Ling; his body slanted slightly, his right arm bent from the elbow, and then turned around from an unthinkable direction and 'Slap!' Lu Zhangke's ear was slapped heavily. ”Try to seize me alive!” he shouted.
As he suddenly suffered a great setback, Lu Zhangke was startled and angry at the same time; but he was a top ranking martial art expert, his mind was clear. He twirled his deer-head staff that even wind and rain would not penetrate it. Zhang Wuji wanted to continue with another sneak attack, but he was unable to do so because of this tight defense.
Zhao Min pulled her reins to make her horse jump forward, but Wang Baobao swept his whip. 'Crack!' it hit Zhao Min's horse right above its left eye. The horse made a long neigh in pain, and its front legs gave up.
Zhao Min was still weak from her injury, she was almost thrown away from her saddle. ”Gege,” she angrily said, ”Must you stop me?”
”Good sister,” Wang Baobao said, ”Follow me home. Gege will apologize to you later.”
”Gege,” Zhao Min said, ”If you stop me, someone is going to die a terrible death then Zhang Jiaozhu is going to hate me to the bone. It will be hard for your meizi … your meizi to live.”
”What are you talking about?” Wang Baobao said, ”The martial art experts in the Ruyang Palace are as numerous as the clouds, they can protect you all around. Let's not talk about this little devil head trying to harm you; he cannot even see you even if he wants to.”
Zhao Min sighed. ”It's exactly because I am afraid I cannot see him again,” she said, ”If that happens, I … I don't want to live anymore.”
These two, brother and sister, were very close ever since their childhood; they always told each other everything. Therefore, she did not hesitate to tell him her true feelings for Zhang Wuji.
Wang Baobao was angry. ”Meizi,” he said, ”You are confused. You are a Mongolian princess, you are like a tree with golden branch and jade leaves, how can you fall in love with a crude man, a lowly dog? If Father finds out, how can he, Senior, not be angry with you?”
He waved his left hand, and three of his warriors went forward to attack. By this time Zhang Wuji and the Xuanming Elders were competing internal energy. A few 'zhang's around them, the strong gust of wind was as sharp as the knife, how could these three warriors launch their attacks?
