Chapter 66: Into the Lions Den (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

However, Sister Li had hardly taken Yun Wu to the door when they saw a couple of figures rapidly shooting towards them with whooshing sounds.

In a short while, the fat man with cold eyes arrived at the cottage, followed by five guards.

”Where are you planning to hide?” the fat man's sinister voice was heard.

Sister Li's face changed. Instantly, she moved in front of Yun Wu, as if she wanted to hide her.

”Wha–What do you want?”

In a remote village like this, no residents here had ever learned any kung fu. In front of these warriors, they were literally powerless to defend themselves.

But Sister Li still steeled herself and ventured into raising her eyes to look the fat man and the others in the eye.

Yun Wu knew she was trying to protect her.

The fat man's face was full of impatience, ”You village woman, get away from here if you still have some senses. Don't try to be a busybody.”

Upon these words, he raised his hand and ordered the five guards beside him, ”Go. Take her.”

Immediately, the five guards walked towards Yun Wu.

Like a hen protecting a chick, Sister Li tried to stop them, ”What are you doing? How dare you do this in public – ”

Before she could finish her sentence, a guard impatiently grabbed Sister Li and intended to throw her away.

However...

”Snap!” the sound of a wrist breaking was heard.

”Ah... ” the guard let out a shriek of pain and his face went somewhat pale. Due to the sharp pain in the wrist, he loosened his grip on Sister Li.

Yun Wu's purple eyes flashed in the direction of those men with a bland look. She was holding the guard's wrist with her small hand in a relaxed manner, but the wrist had been twisted into a weird shape.

”I'm the one you want. What's the point of hurting innocent people?”

The instant her bland voice died away, Yun Wu casually moved her hand and the guard's body was violently thrown away, giving a somersault along the way.

It seemed as if she had just thrown away a piece of rag.

The other four guards widened their eyes, looking at that seemingly petite teenage girl in surprise.

That guard was a warrior in late stage of Tier VI, but he had got thrown away by her in such a casual way?

The fat man's pupils secretly contracted, but the look on his face went even colder. These guards had been specially selected to deal with that mysterious teenage girl.

Unexpectedly, the fight had barely started when one of them was thrown away.

”What are you standing there for? Go together and take her!” the fat man seemed to have been provoked, his face full of ferocity.

Hearing this, the other four people mobilized their fighting spirit and stretched out their hands to grabbed Yun Wu. It seemed that they intended to capture her.

Yun Wu slightly squinted. When the four guards were reaching out their hands to grab her, her figure uncannily vanished into thin air.

Having missed the target, the four guards were stunned, eyes gleaming with astonishment.

Where was her?

The fat man also widened his eyes and it seemed as if he was about to rub them, 'What happened?' How did she disappear?

All of a sudden.

”Now that you've come here and found me, I'll take your lives,” a cold, calm voice came out of thin air and passed the fat man's ears.

The fat man's eyes went vigilant. He subconsciously flashed forward, whipped out his sword and slashed at the source of the voice.

But the next second, a gleam of cold light flashed past the fat man's eyes.

All movements seemed to be immobilized at this instant.

Eyes dilated, the fat man stared at Yun Wu who had just stabbed a dagger through his throat. His eyes were full of horror and disbelief.

He was in Tier VI, but before he could make a single move, he was...

”Your Lordship!”

Seeing that the fat man had been killed, the other four guards were stunned, but soon their pupils contracted, and with that they instantly mobilized their fighting spirit and shot towards Yun Wu.

This time, all the four guards were covered in killing aura.

Yun Wu's lips curved in a grim smile, an intense killing aura surging out of her.

She never showed mercy to those who wanted her dead.

After a sudden, phantom move of her figure, flashes of cold light were seen. She raised her hand and swung the dagger at her opponents, killing each of them with one blow...

When all movements stopped, the four guards were still in their offensive stances, but blood were gushing out of their throat, astonishment freezing in their eyes.

Was she an assassin or a warrior?

Four guards in peak stage of Tier VI.

She had cut their throats before they could make a single move.

The last guard with a broken wrist widened his eyes which were full of horror.

”Shuh...”

A gasp was heard, and Yun Wu didn't know whether it had come from Sister Li's mouth or her dilated eyes in which astonishment glinted.

She must have been shocked to see Yun Wu's moves, since she hadn't expected that Yun Wu's kung fu was so good.

”Sister Li, find some villagers to deal with these bodies. I'll go get Grandma Medicine back,” Yun Wu looked at Sister Li and said.

Then she grabbed that fat man's body, threw it to that guard who was still alive and said coldly, ”Carry this and lead the way!”

The guard raised his head and look at the teenage girl in front of him, eyes full of horror.

But he didn't dare to resist, because he could distinctly feel that if he disobeyed her or tried to play any tricks, he would end up just like those bodies.

...

In the mansion of the Murong family's offshoot in the Luoyang City.

The figure of a guard rushed in hurriedly as if he had something extremely urgent to report.

Thousand Murong, who was teasing a caged little bird, frowned with a cold look of discontent flashing across the bottom of his piercing eyes.

”Young–Young Master. Something bad happened. Elder Uncle go–got killed... The one who killed Elder Uncle is coming... ” the guard reported, his breath coming in short gasps due to the unduly hasty rush he had made.
