Chapter 73: Assassinations On Festooned Street

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek

A night in the Border Dragon City was bound to be lively.

”There's someone stalking me.”

When Qin Mu left the City Lord's Manor, he immediately felt there was someone stalking him. The divine arts practitioners from City Lord's Manor had no intention of hiding their presence. They must have felt that there was no need to hide their presence in front of a little martial arts practitioner, therefore, they simply stalked him openly.

At this moment in Border Dragon City, there were festooned cars parading on the street. The merchants in the city decorated festooned cars that were over dozen yards high. The festooned cars were decorated in the shapes of huge strange beasts and various shapes of gods and devils. On the festooned cars were female dancers dancing gracefully. The dancers were also gorgeously dressed in the attire of the stone statues in the various village. As Qin Mu walked on the festooned street, it was like he had entered a world of gods and devils dancing.

The festooned street was making a deafening noise and there were people everywhere squeezing and pushing each other. Both sides of the street were adorned with lanterns and huge stone pillars. On top of the pillars were stone basins that were filled with kerosene that was blazing furiously.

There were also people walking on stilts that were over thirty yards tall. They could cross twenty yards in a single step and the practitioners on stilts were also bearing a fire torch with a kerosene bottle gourd in their other hand. Blowing a mouthful of kerosene to the fire torch, they could spew out fire snakes that were several yards long.

It was bustling and flourishing yet it still had the wildness of Great Ruins.

Qin Mu walked into the crowd and suddenly the sky became extremely bright. Fine lines had unknowingly filled the sky and intertwined each other. The fine lines suddenly swelled up one by one into huge silver dragons and swam rapidly around in the skies of the festooned street.

The silver dragons swam around and could be seen that they were formed from countless of letters. When they swam around, they would give off a loud and clear devil voice that was cryptic and abstruse.

Bang, bang.

Violent tremors traveled out along with the brilliant rays that shot into the sky. Those rays of light rushed into the darkness above Border Dragon City and were instantly absorbed by the darkness without creating even a single billow. Even monstrous impacts when entering the darkness was like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

The crowd below became even more lively as they cheered loudly. They would never have thought that it wasn't fireworks but the battles of strong practitioners happening above them. Luckily the impact was towards the darkness in the sky, otherwise many people below would have died.

The silver dragons traveled back and forth and a few terrifying figures appeared among the light like gods and devils. It was Border Dragon City Lord Fu Yundi, Venerable Hei, yellow-faced woman and the rest clashing each other in the sky.

Qin Mu was also weaving quickly through the crowd as this wasn't a safe place to be. Even though the impacts created by the strong practitioners were all towards the sky, what if the impacts came downwards?

Blood would definitely flow like a river and countless of people would turn into corpses!

The rumbles of thunder sounded above Border Dragon City, rolling around at a great speed. The thunder was sometimes in the east of the city while other times they were in the west of the city, moving to and fro as fast as lightning.

Behind him, the divine arts practitioners from the City Lord's Manor continued to chase after him. Even as Qin Mu tunnel around the crowd, he wasn't able to shake them off.

”Tonight's encounter sure is weird. However, I still created trouble by not resisting my murderous intent and killing the City Lord's son. I must quickly inform granny and Grandpa Blind to leave this place as early as possible!”

Qin Mu was about to hasten his footstep when he heard a dragon roar from behind him. A divine arts practitioner with a green dragon coiling around his body pounced on him. He was still over twenty yards away from Qin Mu when the green dragon weaved through the crowd and was close to pinning Qin Mu down!

Qin Mu was about to dodge when a roll of white silk hanging down the building at the side of the street wrapped itself around the neck of the divine arts practitioner, pulling him up from the crowd and pulling him into the room of the building.

In the building, a few women at the prime of youth had hidden knives in their sleeves as they stabbed them towards the divine arts practitioner's chest.

Qin Mu raised his head and looked. They were the few big sisters that previously called him up to play with them when he had first entered the city.

He continued to walk forward and passed by an alley. In the alley was a divine arts practitioner wearing a bamboo hat whose body shook when he saw Qin Mu passing by. From the alley, towering waves appeared from emptiness. The huge waves like huge snakes as they opened their jaws to bite down on Qin Mu. There were silver fish inside the huge fish that were probably spirit weapons.

And at this moment, there was a blacksmith workshop opposite the alley where the blacksmith was a giant that was twenty yards tall. He was smithing a fine steel long knife. The knife handle was five yards long while the blade was six yards long. The giant grabbed the long knife and pierced it through the wall to the alley, spearing the divine arts practitioner wearing the bamboo hat and nailed him to the wall.

The giant blacksmith then pulled out his knife and wiped away the bloodstains. He then continued to forge the knife in the blazing flames of the forge.

Qin Mu was stunned for words and continued to walk forward. With the clamoring of the gongs and drums in the festooned street, figures leaped quickly as if they were flying on the roof of the houses on both sides. They were the divine arts practitioners of City Lord's Manor and they quickly closed in on Qin Mu.

One of the divine arts practitioners leaped down and before he could even land on the ground, a snake in the basket of a snake charmer suddenly stretched out its head. The snakehead suddenly became extremely huge and swallowed the divine arts practitioner that leaped down from the sky. Its head then shrunk back to normal and returned to its basket.

Other few divine arts practitioners landed on the ground and weaved among the crowd. One of them passed by a wine shop and the waiter inside was looking at the festooned cars happily. Suddenly the wine shop waiter carried a huge wine jug and dunk it on the head of the divine arts practitioner. When the divine arts practitioner entered the wine jug, his bones and flesh immediately melted, turning him into a jug of wine.

The wine shop waiter placed the wine jug properly and sealed the mouth of the jug.

The other few divine arts practitioners from City Lord's Manor met a drunkard in a crowd. The drunkard spewed fire at them and turned them into ashes. Some of them were assassinated and were sliced at their throats. Some were carried into the festooned cars by the dancers and vanished without a trace.
