50 Trapped (1/2)

Chapter 50

Diako Zenua walked into her carriage and shut the door. When she opened her hand she had two small bamboo tubes that had red ribbons on them. When she snapped her hand shut they made a small 'clack' sound. Right afterward the other side of her carriage slowly started to be enveloped in darkness. It was as if night had descended on the other side of the carriage. When the darkness faded away there was an old warrior kneeling down in front of her.

”What is your bidding Madam?” the old warrior asked with his head bowed.

”There is a very powerful warrior with his family some where in the woods behind us. I sent Ling Chanyom and fifty warriors to capture him, but they returned in failure. I'm not even sure in Ling Chanyom will survive his injuries. I must have them all in my stock for the auction in Qianbei. Take the elite soldiers and capture him with our family secret formation. I will not tolerate failure from you. With your strength this should be an easy task.” When Zenua was done speaking the old warrior simply vanished into thin air.

Chen Zhen and them decided to leave the road and travel thru the woods to avoid running into Zenua's caravan again. This allowed them to continue their training and helped solidify their cover story as a family of hunters. They traveled this way for a couple day when suddenly Chen Zhen's bloodline began to boil again. He suddenly stopped and signal for everyone to step back.

Chen Zhen slowly searched ahead of them for any threats. He couldn't smell anything this time, so he was very confused as to were the danger was coming from. Just as Chen Zhen was realizing he couldn't hear animals in this part of the woods, five people suddenly jumped out of the ground surrounding him. Chen Zhen's bloodline armor immediately grew out and covered his body.

The warriors surrounding him were all chanting together and forming hand seals in perfect unison. In the blink of an eye they had already formed one hundred hand seals. A rune formation appeared under their feet. The force of this rune formation locked Chen Zhen in place not allowing him to move. He happened to be facing Mei Ling when the formation took effect, so he saw when an old warrior appeared behind them. He jabbed each of them in the neck in quick secession with a neuro-toxin, causing them to fall down paralyzed. Chen Zhen screamed out and tried to move but he was completely immobilized.

”You will return and become the young madams property. Please stop fighting, your efforts are futile.” The old warrior said as he bent down and easily picked up Mei Ling and the kids.

As much as Chen Zhen tried to struggle it was of no use, he couldn't budge an inch. Another elite soldier appeared behind Chen Zhen and tried to jab him with the neuro-toxin, but his armor prevented it. When the old warrior saw this he shook his head at the nuisance this caused.

”Is there any way you guys can help me save them!” Chen Zhen screamed in his head.

[This formation is too powerful there is nothing I can do to neutralize it.] the clone said in exasperation

”I've been trying but there is nothing I can do. We are not strong enough to break a formation of this caliber yet.” Lou Tian said feeling helpless.

”If I had my strength back I could have killed all of them with a mere sneeze.” Shanggu Feng said, frustrated with his current weakness.
