Chapter 158: Splitting the Ground Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

After more than two years as a professional killer, Gu Shenwei had developed a highly ood things would be delivered on a golden plate, and thus did not think much of the slip of paper

“This is a trap”

“Why don’t we have a look? How if soe the secret?”

“If so, he’ll come to us”

Gu Shenwei recalled the time when he accepted an invitation to a prostitute’s house, only to discover a corpse when he got there

“We’ll just have a peek without showing our faces, and then act according to circuuan Ru, who loved risky adventures, was intrigued by the mysterious slip of paper, and Gu Shenas forced to relent Fortunately, Blackse was part of Kun Society’s territory, and hence there were machetemen stationed there who could offer assistance in case of an eency

Riceflour Alley was not far froe, but between thee which had become the hos Gu Shenwei h it, and indeed, the trap which he had thought would be set within Blackse would actually take place here in the form of a surprise attack that came froh, and his first ied to the house of a rich and influential family

The assailants fired three arrows at theuan Ru

The latter two drew their sabers at the same time and deflected the arrows Gu Shenwei predicted, from experience, that the enemies would shoot two or three rounds of arrows, but he rong this time The assailants on top of the wall shot only one round of arrows before leaping off the wall on the side away frouan Ru shouted and leaped off the ground Her toes only needed to touch the wall once before she was already on top of the wall Her Lightness Skill, which had all along been great, was even ive chase!” Gu Shenwei could not hold her back in time nor dissuade her He calculated that he would not be able to juet on the wall, and thus could only run forward as fast as he possibly could in hopes that there would be a loall for him to jump across

He found a break in the wall a few dozen steps ahead Crossing through the break, he found nothing

There was virtually nothing – no Shangguan Ru, no assailants, no trees, and no buildings

The place, covered in a thick layer of snoas apparently a garden which was abandoned during winter A few dilapidated huts could be seen in the distance, and there was no sign of huuan Ru had leaped on to the wall again and exited the place, but ih the sky was dark, it was not yet couan Ru had changed her route, she would have called out and inforarden appeared to be rather well-frequented, judging fro depths that were nearly everywhere He found, at the foot of the wall, two shallow footprints which appeared to be left behind by Shangguan Ru She, or the rightful owner of these footprints, subsequently leaped forward and landed in another person’s footprints, and thus could not be tracked any further

There were, in actual fact, no swordse This place here the ene tricked by a sian to think so Guanru’s kung fu or how forthright her personality is, she has experienced too few things and thus lacks a killer’s instincts”

If the aon Society, they would not dare to kill Shangguan Ru But he would not be able to bear the responsibility if she was even slightly injured or wenton the last ray of sunlight, he searched the snow carefully until he was brought into a juive up

“She couldn’t have disappeared into thin air,” Gu Shenwei thought “Either she has been abducted by a few quick hands… or she’s hiding underground”

He began to stouan Ru had left footprints to test if it was hollow beneath However, the garden was sis had turned nuh he was able to detect a small hollow space, he did not find any clues

He ran into the s except spider webs and cotton frag ti the help of a few ate, but was afraid that if he left for a while and caht far away by then

There were infinite possibilities Gu Shenwei could only hile stohtened hiround or in soround tunnel; perhaps she had already been brought out of the garden, and what he was currently doing was not only foolish but wasting precious time which he could use to command his subordinates to seek out information in South City

The sky beca for two hours Gu Shenwei jumped up and down like a , he sheathed his dagger and pulled out his sword He then closed his eyes to allow hi to seek out whether there was “living energy” nearby

Death Scripture was a type of kung fu which could not be practiced Gu Shenwei had to iine that there were enemies in front of him for it to work

“There’s a super-powerful ene shadow and is holding a sword…”

After half an hour, Gu Shenwei could finally detect a vague bundle of scents The scents were as weak as the twilight h a thick barrier They were transient and unclear in shape, and were coalesced into a ball such that they were impossible to differentiate

Gu Shenas about to take an uncalculated risk, but having already entered a state of killing in which there was neither thought nor ht hold of one of the scents and discovered its weak points Subsequently, he focused his y entirely upon his sword, such that he did not even notice the barrier in between him and the source of the scent

He thrust his sword forward to hit his target without any apprehension or hesitation

Anyone watching from the side would have been astonished The youth suddenly sprang high into the air, flipped his body upside down, then sank his sith one hand into the snow He was like a puppet tethered to his sword – as if the sas initiating the movements while he had no choice but to follow
