127 Out of His Control (1/2)
The young woman brought out her sword and confidently stepped forward until she was only a few feet from Ming Yue. Still focused on the conversation, she did not notice her walk forward.
The young woman stared mockingly and she attacked. Flicking her wrist forward, the sword bent like a snake as it separated into small pieces connected by a metal wire. The blade whirled around like a snake and extended itself.
The shimmering tip was mere seconds from cutting Ming Yue's neck before she unsheathed Drifting Sky and blocked the strike. But she did not stop there.
There was killing intent on that strike, not a request to fuel but a wish to kill.
Ming The had practically disappeared from her place and reappeared with a white knife pressed on the woman's neck.
Shock and fear coursed through her mind.
When did Ming Yue get behind her? Rather how did she get behind her?
When the young woman's followers noticed her, they quickly pulled out their weapons.
”Release her right now!” one of them yelled out.
”She is a core disciple of the Tao Feng Sect, Yen Fen! Attacking her is tantamount to attacking the entire sect!”
Ming Yue ignored their threats and put her mouth close to Yen Fen'a ear.
”Please think before you act”, she spoke in a quiet yet sincere voice, taking her knife away from Yen Fen's neck.
To Yen Fen, it sounded like the voice of a reaper.
There was a visible red line from where the knife was.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that she realized Ming Yue was back where she was. In that one instant, she felt her life slip from her fingers. Her hands trembled from the thought.
That feeling lasted until a pair of warm hands grabbed her shoulders.
”Sister Yen, are you okay?” with a concerned voice, Zuo Er appeared from behind her.
She turned around and saw his worried expression. As for him, he noticed her neck. Touching the mark, he looked at her before looking around.
”Who attacked her!?” he shouted angrily, ”Was it you or you?”.
”Don't bother!”, someone shouted back, ”She made the first move and attacked without warning! Too bad she acted so recklessly, one more wrong move and she might have lost her head.”

Zuo Er left Yen Fen's side and dashed towards the voice. In an instant, he found the source of that voice and grabbed the person by the neck. No longer did he have that smile from before or even that charisma. He lifted the person up, revealing a young man with hair down to his shoulder and wearing some white and gray robes.
”There is only so much that I am willing to put up with...”, he said, ”...especially with some nameless student like you.”
The young man struggled to release himself from Zuo Er's grip. Despite using both his hands to pry into Zuo Er's grip, he was unable to escape.
He stopped trying and smiled at Zuo Er instead.
”If this is all you can endure, then the Tao Feng must be a joke to have someone like you in their ranks”, he mocked, ”Losing your composure over a woman, what kind of idiot are you?”
Pushed even more, Zuo Er began tightening his grip on the man''s neck, who began choking and gasping for air. But even as he struggled, he smiled at him. There was no fear in his eyes and this made Zuo Er even more furious.
”Then let this idiot be the last thing you see”, he said, squeezing even harder.
