493 Zhang Min in Danger 1 (1/2)
Ling Cao was a mercenary in the Jiangdong region. He had tanned skin since he was young since he grew up in a fisherman family. His wide chest and compact muscle showed that he got used to swimming in a raging sea for fishes.
When Sun Ce rallied his forces to unite the southeast provinces, Ling Cao, as a courageous man, joined forces with this warlord.
In history, he served both Sun Ce and Sun Quan before he died in a battle against Huang Zu and Gan Ning, Liu Biao's elite subordinates.
In this world, Zhou Yu changed the historical trend by hiring Huang Zu and avoided the confrontation against Liu Biao. Moreover, the threat of otherworlders was greater than their old grudge, so Zhou Yu prioritized killing every reincarnators first.
Ling Cao never took part in a battle against Huang Zu. On the contrary, Huang Zu became his colleague.
After Sun Ce, in this world, had promoted him and Huang Zu, the lord gave them a mysterious cultivation technique.
Ling Cao and Huang Zu obtained the memory of the other timeline, and they could become immortal.
At first, Ling Cao wanted to kill Huang Zu, but the latter begged him for forgiveness. Although Ling Cao was unwilling, Zhou Yu acted as a middleman to end the grudge.
Both generals shook hands and amended from the past rivalry.
It took them years to get their first 4 wings, but the hard work paid off. They became immortals who could fly.
Now, Ling Cao came to Julu with several friends, whom he knew in the other timeline.
Zhou Tai,
Lu Meng,
Lu Xun,
Pan Zhang,
Song Qian,
Chen Wu,
And Jiang Qin.
His son, Ling Tong, also tagged along with the group. Combined with Sun Ce, Sun Fang, Huang Zu, and Zhou Yu, 13 elites aimed to cause chaos within Julu.
By the order of Zhou Yu, Ling Cao and others separated and searched for the flying cultivator they spotted when they first had arrived.
And Ling Cao found Zhang Min first!
”I FOUND THE GOVERNOR AND A SIX-WING CULTIVATOR!! I NEED HELP!!”
Pieces of iron and sharp woods lodged into Ling Cao's arms because of Zhang Min's previous attack. He tried to regenerate his lost blood and heal his wounds, but Zhang Min did not give him a chance.
She charged toward him.
*BOOM*
A reinforced punch of a six-wing cultivator smashed Ling Cao's face, breaking his nose.
The fist sent Ling Cao flying while a trail of blood followed his disfigured face.
Zhang Min's face hardened as she steeled her heart for the kill. She gathered her force into her hands as she kicked the ground, sprinting toward Ling Cao.
Lamia Steps!
Medusa's footwork showed its effect. Zhang Min caught Ling Cao within 2 seconds.
*PU*
She pulled her hand out and turned around, not waiting for Ling Cao's helpers to arrive. Instead of going back with Hua Tuo and Zhang Jiao, Zhang Min flew toward the north, planning to escape toward her friends' domain, You Province.
She planned to seek help from Sima Yi's family.
As for Ling Cao, he did not have a chance to leave his final words to his son, who came along with Sun Ce.
A few seconds after Zhang Min flew away, a young man with four wings landed next to the dead body of Ling Cao. His trembling hands touched his father's wound while his eyes widened in disbelief.
This young man's face resembled Ling Cao, but his skin color was lighter. His 185cm tall and his muscle mass also differentiated from his predecessor.
”Father!”
The person was Ling Tong, Ling Cao's son.
Two more men also arrived. A rough man with long hair and a red headband and bald young man with a naked chest rushed toward Ling Tong.
They were Pan Zhang and Jiang Qin, officers under Sun Ce who also had 4 wings.
As soon as they found Ling Cao's corpse, they turned toward the direction of fleeing Zhang Min in anger.
”That six-wing woman should be the murderer! We'll chase after her!”
Ling Tong raised his head and glared at Zhang Min's back, ”You can't escape!”
The three leaped to the sky and pursued after Zhang Min. None of them paid attention to Zhang Jiao's room.
As for the two elders, they already understood Zhang Min's intension. They sprinted with all their might, running away using the underground passage under Zhang Jiao's room.
Zhang Jiao also did not forget to operate the clan chat. He typed only one word.
”Emergency.”
It was vague and incomprehensible. However, it came from Tong's father, so it carried significant meanings.
.
Within a few seconds, replies from Tong's strongest officers appeared.
Lu Bu: ”I'm nearby. I'll head to Julu!”
Li Feihong: ”I'll be there in a few minutes.”
Not only the fighters answered the emergency call, but another one also noticed the commotion.
Sima Fang: ”I'll lead my men to the exit passage. Are you coming out from that path?”
Zhang Jiao: ”Yes.”
Sima Fang: ”Is there a pursuer?”
Zhang Jiao: ”No. Zhang Min is leading them away. Only Hua Tuo and I are escaping.
The moment Zhang Jiao mentioned Zhang Min, a couple of love-struck youths showed up.
