Chapter 40: Separation

After another 20 minutes or so, with Yuan Zhenyi leading the way, everyone managed to creep behind a hill. The aid of the moonlight allowed them to observe the fight in good visibility.

As they witnessed the fight, Mo Wuji realised how ridiculous his intention to assassinate the obese salesman in the dark alone was. Even though there were already seven to eight casualties below, the obese salesman did have one very powerful guard. He was currently fighting against two others, out of whom, one was Jia Jing.

Jia Jing came with two others at first, however, one of them had already been killed.

”I was reckless. If I had come alone, I would never have succeeded in assassinating him,” Mo Wuji sighed.

Yuan Zhenyi responded, ”You can't be blamed for this. This salesman ain't easy to deal with. Normal salesmen would not hire such powerful guards for themselves.”

After a few minutes, Jia Jing managed to put a knife through the remaining guard's shoulder. At the same moment, Jia Jing's companion was pierced through his waist by the guard's long sword.

Jia Jing and his companions were heavily wounded. Jia Jing followed up and sliced open the head of the obese salesman's only remaining guard.

The obese salesman, who was severely wounded, sat by his horse carriage and did not even bother crying for help. He knew there was no point in crying for help anymore.

”Our turn,” Yuan Zhenyi said with charisma and slid down the hill like a general.

Jia Jing, who just managed to behead his opponent, was extremely fatigued as he saw Yuan Zhenyi approaching.

”Dang!” After letting out a cry, Jia Jing took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

”Who are you? How dare you attack me? I am working for Xuan Liang's Prefecture Lord, I will let you go as long as...”

Jia Jing's words were interrupted as he saw Mo Wuji coming down from the hill.

He recognised Mo Wuji and the two ladies behind him, Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei. At this juncture, he knew his life was over. Jing Lengbei's presence indicated that they even dared to attack the Lord, so why would they not dare to kill him?

”Pop! ” As Jia Jing paused to think, Yuan Zhenyi swung his axe and split Jia Jing's head apart.

Yuan Zhenyi then proceeded on to the heavily wounded companion of Jia Jing and finished him off with his axe too.

Aunt Eleven laughed and said to Mo Wuji, ”Wuji, there is no need for us to help him. Given Zhenyi's capabilities, these two soft leg shrimps ain't enough for him.”

Although Mo Wuji had been through a life and death crisis in the Thunder Fog Forest, he had never witnessed such a bloody scene. For awhile, his senses could not adapt to it.

”Thank you my Lord, for the rescue. If not for your timely intervention, I would have lost my life. I am willing to give you all my assets to thank you for your life-saving grace...” Mo Wuji did not expect that the obese salesman would actually stand up and thank him for saving his life.

Mo Wuji could not believe that the fatty actually thought that he was here to save him. Mo Wuji could not help but admire this fatty's ignorance.

”Fatty, you are too optimistic. Let me ask you. Where did you find these two girls? Do not bother finding excuses or talk about conditions. If I am happy with your answer, I might give you a good time. If I am not satisfied, I will not kill you but skin you alive and retrieve your tendons.”

”From a horse thief, Hei Weifeng, in a region in Wu Xue State...”

”So Hei Weifeng was the one that destroyed Jing Clan too?” Mo Wuji asked on behalf of Jing Lengbei as he saw her trembling beside him.

”I do not know. I really do not know,” the fatty, Yong Yong, said repeatedly.
