11 The careless whisper. . (1/2)
Though these assassins were all amateurs base on their kungfu but when all of them attacked at the same time, it makes all her energy consumed plus, Mr. Xin's guardsmen were still fighting with the bandits.
Not only their groups were divided but also their attention.
She was panting heavily, her body was slowly becomes exhausted. .this is her first time, fighting in real combat,after all. .though her sifu worth, the ten of them but this time she had to add Mr. Xin in the picture.
”This won't do, I need to do something!” Her sifu always reminded her to conceal her kung fu ”but Not today. ! Disperate time calls for disperate measures. .
”Im fired up. !”
She took her fan from her back and open it and fan herself like a real gōngzǐ. ”don't open it casually like that!” Her sifu scolded her when she snatched it away from his hands and open it.
This fan looks ordinary outside but it has a secret mechanism that could turn into a weapon, there's sharp and poisonous blade inside on it. She doesn't want to kill but these assassins were meant to kill them.
The truth that they were sent to die makes her heart breaks but what she can do? She stood on her guard and clenched her hand behind her back.
”If you want to kill him. .first, you have to pass through me. !”
She gives a signal to Mr. Xin's guardsmen to come and protect him
”We don't have business with you why bother sticking yourself on someones else business. ?”
She snorts. Indeed this is what we always get if we stick our nose on someones else butt. .
”Since I already come here. .why not?” She said.
if my father would know this. .he would gladly take me into the temple and make me as a nun. !
Then they all come towards her.
She come forward, bend her knees and give the first one she reached a quick and slight cut in his neck. .as soon as she stood up, the man was already holding his neck, his blood squirt through his finger and fall before he could even reached Mr. Xin.
When you kill a man never look into the eyes, for eyes is the soul. .they're going to haunt you. .her sifu was correct, she did not even dare look to the man for he is her first kill.
The others who see it, stepped back but decided to advance again.”this people were stubborn as a mule. .” She gritted her teeth.
She kicked one man in his sword hand by surprised, the blade flew up, she quickly grabbed him by the shoulder and knocked him out, while she catch the sword in her right hand.
She run like a win and give them a slight cut in their legs, the cut is not fatal but enough to stop them from moving. .
”five more. .” She already reached her limits and her body seems to slowed her down. .she gathered all her strength and run through the trunk of the tree in a straight position, like the one walking in the wire at the circus.
when she reached at the vintage point she slightly flip her body and stretched her hands to release five golden needles. .those needles wont get through inside but enough to kiss their skin and make them numb.
She back flip.”Don't move. .the poison will goes faster into your heart.!” She warned them as soon as her feet touches the ground.
They were frightened when they heard it. She slowly come to get back those needles. .”This needles were more expensive that your life.” Her master told her once. She could not imagine how he would going to react if he knew she stole it.
”Don't worry my master knows how to cure you if not, better dig up your own grave.” She laughed.
Her sifu had known as ”doctor quack” for his nonsensical abilities and a refined sense of humor. .he would asked the patient either to dig up their own grave or killed him first.
Dispite of his character her sifu were known not only as top kung fu master but also for his poison skills through out the martial world.
She thought everything was over. Those bandits that either wounded or surrenderees will held as captives. .while the assassins they were all gathered together except the five.
She commanded, not to touch them after sometimes so the poison would not penetrate inside but who would have known that those people were really meant to die. .
