Chapter 66: Into the Lions Den (2/2)
The Elder Uncle he mentioned was the fat man.
Hearing this, Thousand Murong, who had been teasing a little bird, was transfixed with shock, ”Elder Uncle was killed?”
With that his piercing eyes glinted coldly, ”Where is that person?”
”Right outside the gate. Elder Uncle's body was brought back and drew many commoners here.”
Thousand Murong squinted with a dangerous look, his face sepulchral, ”Go invite that person inside. Don't inform Young Mistress yet.”
”Young Mistress has heard the news and headed for the gateway... ” the sepulchral look on Thousand Murong's face made the guard quiver involuntarily.
He knew that the Young Master had a wide-spread reputation for his unpredictable temper.
Any minor mistake could cost his life.
Thousand Murong's eyes darkened as he heard the guard's words. There was an air of coldness about him, which people could distinctly feel from far away.
Lucky for him, the Young Master turned around with a twitch of his arm and headed for the gate.
...
The East Avenue of the Luoyang City was one of the busiest streets in the city.
And the mansion of the Murong family's offshoot was located at the most prominent position on the East Avenue.
At this moment, a pretty figure was standing at the gateway of the mansion of the Murong family's offshoot. That was a teenage girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in gunny clothes.
However, that teenage girl was giving off a cold air and looked dangerously callous, the fat man's body beneath her foot.
Beside her, there was a guard with a twisted wrist lying on the ground. Judging by the clothes he was wearing, he was the Murong family's guard.
All those who passed by gave an amazed glimpse at petite Yun Wu, and many lookers-on were whispering to each other.
”Isn't that the Elder Uncle of the Young Master of the Murong family's offshoot? What happened?”
”I heard that the Elder Uncle is a Tier VI warrior. How come he's lying on the ground beneath that girl's foot?”
”No. Look. It seems that the Elder Uncle is dead. There's a bloody hole in his neck... ”
”Dead? No way. Who dares to hurt members of the Murong family in Luoyang City?”
”... ”
People's discussion in muted voices were heard.
There were four guards standing on the two sides of the gate. Faces sullen, they were holding unsheathed swords and looking at that teenage girl vigilantly, but none of them dared step forward.
Because that guard lying on the ground was in peak stage of Tier VI, but she had just knocked him out with her bare hands.
And she was stamping on the Elder Uncle's body.
Not long after a guard went inside to report, a gloriously clothed female quickly walked out of the mansion with an angry face, followed by two guards.
Before those guards could speak, someone thundered.
”Who killed my elder brother exactly?” there was an intense killing intent in the furious reprimand.
The voice was from a female about twenty seven or twenty eight years old who was dressed in clothes made of leno and brocade. She had a well-featured face, but all those jewels on her made her seem somewhat vulgar.
At this moment there was a sepulchral look on her face.
When she saw the figure of the fat man who was beneath the teenage girl's foot, Luo Shanshan abruptly widened her eyes, fury welling up inside her.
She glared at Yun Wu.
”Go kill her.”
Hearing the order, the two guards behind her immediately whipped out their sabers, rushed forward and slashed at Yun Wu.
Their movements were agile and decisive.
They were Tier V warriors!
Seeing this, those lookers-on exclaimed in amazement.
”That teenage girl is too reckless. She should never have messed with the Murong family. She's still so young. What a pity... ”
”That's true. She should have known the status of the Murong family in Luoyang City... ”
”... ”
However, the sound of the mumbling hadn't died away yet!
Yun Wu's cold eyes swept through the two guards and with that her figure turned into a rapid blur and dodged aside. The two guards missed hitting the target.
Before the two guards could react, a mysterious power suddenly grabbed them and threw them away.
”Bang, bang!”
With two thuds, the two guards violently impacted on the stone lion statue in front of the gate.
”Puh!” both guards spat blood and seemed unable to stand up any time soon.
Passers-by who were looking on couldn't help letting out exclamation of shock. Those were Tier V warriors.
Luo Shanshan's face instantly changed, her pupils abruptly contracted, ”It seems that you're not bad. Then today, I'll take your life myself.”
She pulled a whip off her waist with a burst of Tier VI early-stage cyan fighting spirit and ferociously waved her wrist.
”Swish!” the whip split the air.
The long whip shot at Yun Wu like a bloodthirsty python.
Killing aura pervaded the space. There was no doubt that this whip blow was powerful enough to smash a person into pieces.
Yun Wu coldly curved her lips. But this time she didn't dodge but stretched out her small white hand and squarely grabbed the tail of the whip.
Under the astonished gaze of those lookers-on.
She tightened her grip and abruptly pulled the whip backwards. Luo Shanshan, who was holding the other end of the whip, hadn't reacted yet when she lost her balance and was pulled forward along with her whip.
However, right at this moment when she was about to fall and embarrass herself, Luo Shanshan quickly somersaulted, drew a dagger out of thin air and conveniently thrust it at Yun Wu.
Yun Wu pinched the coming blade with two fingers without even glancing at the dagger out of the corner of her eye.
A look of amazement flashed across Luo Shanshan's eyes.
At this very moment, Yun Wu's fighting spirit secretly surged out. With a lateral movement of her fingers, she quickly pushed the blade in Luo Shanshan's hand towards her neck...
