167 Shura! (1/2)

The street was filled with close to five or six hundred people. All of a sudden, everyone stood up, holding sabers and swords. The chilling glint on their blades gleamed as they charged towards Yun Yang from every possible direction.

All of them wore a consistent look of menace, a murderous aura gushing from their very beings.

Yun Yang was like a lone island amidst the deluge and suddenly he was being hit by ferocious waves.

The blades shone with their metal luster.

Ju Chen was fast, quickly stepping away, yet she had only taken three steps back before she realized with a start that her rapidly retreating body was being held tight.

Turning her head back, Yun Yang’s handsome face twisted into one of confusion as he asked her, ”Ju Chen, what is going on here? There's no excitement here, only danger…”

His grip on Ju Chen’s shoulder was tight as a vice, the girl was unable to move at all. Her pretty face paled she screamed, ”Let me go!”

”Stop your nonsense. I am protecting you!” Yun Yang’s gaze was icy. ”I have the most tender heart for women. The situation has turned terribly treacherous, how could I leave you alone and in danger?”

Besides the surging crowd around them that screamed murder, teams of men all in black attire appeared at the roofs surrounding them as well; they held bows and arrows in their hands, the icy arrowheads pointing in their direction.

Petrification colored Ju Chen’s eyes as she cried, ”Let me go! Let me go quickly…”

Yun Yang’s face was stoic as he said indifferently, ”As I said, I have a soft spot for women – as long as you tell me who asked you to do this. Just give me a name and I’ll let you go. You see it too, they don’t care about your insignificant life; they’re probably releasing the arrows even as we speak.”

Indeed, a cold voice could be heard in the air, ”Shoot!”

At the same time, Ju Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief as fear filled her orbs.

As far as the eye could see, the sky was entirely covered by countlessblack-feathered arrows. Even the last rays of sunset were blocked as the arrows brought the color of death with them, filling one’s entire sight!

Ju Chen could not help screaming, a cry which held the knowledge of her impending doom.

The opposite party had not cared about her at all!

Yun Yang pushed Ju Chen behind him and stretched his other arm out; it looked like a blur in the air but he had actually drawn a dozen circles at an impossibly furious speed.

A magical flow of mystical Qi emanated from his palm. His hand made circles in the air as his body turned around; the mystical Qi engulfed his entire being.

Pow, pow, pow.

More than a thousand feathered arrows fell before Yun Yang's feet, their arrowheads aiming downwards, deflected the moment they came within three feet of Yun Yang.

Instantly, a dense layer of arrows filled Yun Yang’s surroundings. The sight was frightening and alarming to behold.

Countless arrows pierced the ground deeply, forming a prison made of arrow-lengths.

”You won’t have the chance anymore if you don’t speak now.” Yun Yang’s expression was cold as he shook Ju Chen and said softly, ”Ju Chen, this is the one last chance you'll have.”

Ju Chen’s pretty eyes were already bleary with fear now as nervously said, ”It… it was people from the Residence of Grand Tutor, the top aide of Grand Tutor, Cheng Menghan, who found me and wanted me to…”

”Cheng Menghan? Residence of the Grand Tutor?” Yun Yang’s gaze flickered as he said faintly, ”If you can survive this day, remember to never return to Cirrus House. If I ever see you there, I will kill you.”

Just as Yun Yang completed his warning, his right arm jerked as Ju Chen screamed. Her weak body had been flung away.

The toss sent Ju Chen flying several thousand feet away, like she was riding a soaring cloud, out of the ambush area.

Ju Chen’s tears dropped then, as she turned her head in midair while her voice came weakly through the wind, ”Sorry…”

However, a glint of steel split the air and was gone in a flash.

Before Ju Chen could even gasp in surprise, the sword stroke had chopped her into two!

Blood filled the air.

Yun Yang’s gazed coldly towards the direction where both halves of the body was falling out of the air, but there were no emotions behind his eyes.

”Kill him!”

All around him, countless people held blades in their hands while they charged Yun Yang.

Yun Yang sucked in a breath, facing the sky as a gentle smile pulled at the corners of his lips, murmuring, ”It’s been so, so long… that I’ve come across something like this!”

”Nobody strikes!” Yun Yang shouted commandingly.

Then, with a flick of his right hand, a luminous ray of saber radiance illuminated the dim street!

A saber had found its way into Yun Yang’s hand.

When the saber appeared, it was not accompanied by the usual, menacing aura. On the contrary, everyone who saw it felt like they were looking at a gentle splash of colored rays.

It felt like one had fallen into a beautiful dream, where all your eyes could see were iridescent splashes of colors.

The front half of this saber seemed to be made of illusion, difficult to be described in detail. In comparison, the latter half that was concrete looked intricately designed despite the ethereal feeling it gave off, rousing one’s innate desires.

”First style, Merciless Blade!” Yun Yang’s saber gleamed in the twilight.

The thirty to forty people who were charging over saw a ray of luminous saber light – there was only a single ray, yet it bore towards the center of their brows from far away.

Looking at the advancing ray of light, everyone experienced the same thought – it was impossible to defend against or block!
