Chapter 366: Wolf Gang (1/2)
Activating his movement technique, Yang Wei quickly arrived at the scene where Lian Xinyue and Meng Yan were struggling to fend off against the assassins.
”Meng Yan, cover the left area. I'll watch over the right side.” Lian Xinyue shouted as she injected her sword with spiritual qi.
Meng Yan didn't bother saying any nonsense as she took out her whip and glared at the assassin.
”You people are really gutsy. Do you even know who I am?” Meng Yan snorted coldly.
The assassins laughed heartily when they heard Meng Yan's question.
”Hahaha, the lovely princess and daughter of the Phoenix Sky Sect, Meng Pao. Who doesn't know about your prestigious identity?”
”Alas, so what if she has such a prestigious identity in a small kingdom. They are worthless in our eyes.”
Meng Yan gritted her teeth when she realized the assassins should most likely belong to another kingdom or enemy.
”Save it, young ladies, your strength is extremely laughable, and if it weren't because we were told not to injure you. Then you wouldn't have managed to struggle for this long.” One of the assassins said as he glanced at Lian Xinyue.
”Our target is only Meng Yan and not you. If you are a clever person, then you can quickly leave and we won't chase after you.”
Lian Xinyue sneered coldly when she heard his words.
”Save your crap, bitch. I may be fighting with Meng Yan all the time, but I'm not some coward that would leave her behind and run.” Lian Xinyue yelled as she hacked her sword against him.
The assassin quickly dodged her technique as he shook his head in disappointment.
”What a shame then, we were only told not to harm Meng Yan, but you're different.” The assassin said calmly as he raised his hand up.
”Kill her.” He ordered.
However, just as the other assassin tried to attack Lian Xinyue, Yang Wei appeared behind him as he pierced his heart with the Lightbane.
BANG!
The assassin coughed out a mouthful of blood as he turned lifeless.
”Yang Wei!” Both Meng Yan and Lian Xinyue called out in surprise as they went behind him.
”Sorry, I was a bit late because there were some other assassins hiding in the shadows.” Yang Wei apologized as he held his Lightbane up.
”You were talking a lot, so I'm guessing you're the leader, right?” Yang Wei asked as he pointed his Lightbane toward the assassin, who had tried to convince Lian Xinyue to the run.
”Hehe, that's right, Yang Wei. Due to your merit in humiliating the Purple Scorpion Sect, I shall be generous enough to proclaim my name to you. People call me Chen Qing and I'm a member of the Wolf Gang.” The assassin, Chen Qing, said politely with a big smile on his face.
”Wolf Gang?” Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.
He had never heard of the Wolf Gang before, so he turned around to look at Meng Yan and Lian Xinyue.
However, they also shook their heads as they had never heard of such a gang before.
”Which kingdom did you come from?” Yang Wei asked.
”Kingdom?” Chen Qing suddenly laughed aloud as he retrieved two daggers.
”I have already given you some face by telling my name. Any more and you will have to use your life to pay.” He added.
Yang Wei smirked as he took a step forward and determination soon brimmed his eyes.
”Then I would really want to see how you will take my life as payment.” Yang Wei said as he propelled himself toward him.
With an arc slash, Yang Wei hacked the Lightbane down toward Chen Qing.
Chen Qing's eyes flinched for a moment as he blocked the strike with his two daggers.
Afterward, he roared aloud, ”Capture Meng Yan and leave Yang Wei to me.”
”You wish it was that easy,” Meng Yan sneered coldly as she retrieved a spiritual treasure from her storage ring.
Activating the spiritual treasure, Meng Yan easily deflected the attacks from the other assassins.
Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue launched three fireworks into the sky, calling for reinforcement.
The fighting soon turned intense as neither side had gained an advantage.
”Yang Wei, you do not wish to become enemies with our Wolf Gang,” Chen Qing said as he swung his daggers.
”And you do not want to become my enemy either.” Yang Wei sneered as he easily deflected his strike and activated his Stellar Soul.
To be able to act this outrageously in public, Yang Wei dared not to underestimate Chen Qing or the assassins.
Thus, he will quickly use his strongest technique to fight against them.
Time slowly passed by and Chen Qing soon detected multiple guards arriving.
'Damn it, our plan was supposed to be perfect. We even made sure to launch a surprise attack when that Elder Jing and Yang Wei were away.' Chen Qing cursed inwardly at the current situation.
As much as he wanted to capture Meng Yan alive, he couldn't do so with Yang Wei blocking his every move.
