Chapter 212 - 210. NO!! I (2/2)

Xue Lang growled at Hu Jia with his little fangs bared.

Hu Jia was caught-off-guard by Xue Lang's threat. Then, the corner of his lips arched into a grin. For a weapon to be able to stop his attack means that it is exceptionally high-quality weapon.

Hu Jia: ”I want your scythe.”

Hu Jia yanked his whip and Xue Lang was pulled along as his scythe was still tied up to Hu Jia's whip. Xue Lang spun in the air and aimed Hu Jia's head with his leg, but Hu Jia blocked his kick without effort.

Hu Jia: ”Let me show you what kick really is.”

The grin on Hu JIa's face immediately disappeared when he found his whole body immobilized. He turned his eyes towards Yue Ying and cursed in his heart.

Yue Ying: ”Get away from there!”

XueLang pulled his scythe away and took the baby from Hu Jia's hand before he jumped down from the tree to Yue Ying's side. Xue Lang stared at Yue Ying with amazement, she managed to immobilize even all of Hu Jia's lackeys with her shadow magic.

Yue Ying: ”I will hold them, you go!”

Yue Ying whispered at Xue Lang. At first, Xue Lang hesitated to leave Yue Ying alone with the assassins but after seeing her solemn face, Xue Lang instantly nodded his head and left.

Yue Ying shifted her hands and the shadows also moved along with Yue Ying's hand movement. The head in the shadows slowly spun as well as their heads, bone cracking sound could be heard loud and clear.

Just as their bones were about to break, their shadows were freed by a shadow mage. In a second, Hu Jia appeared in front of Yue Ying and slammed her to a tree with her neck in his grip.

Yue Ying scratched his hand as she struggled to breathe and her bones felt it would crush into pieces from his grip. Hu Jia leaned his lips on her ears and whispered.

Hu Jia: ”Good…You distracted me and the maid escaped. You will pay for th-.”

Then suddenly a loud crack of thunder interrupted Hu Jia. He looked towards the direction where the Royal Palace located. A whirl of grey clouds was shooting an enormous amount of Dark Qi even Hu Jia could feel the intimidating aura from far away.

Yue Ying: ”Bro….ther….”

Yue Ying whispered between her breaths.

Hu Jia: 'Brother? That emperor? Impossible, isn't he supposed to be at the border? Better finish this fast.'

Hu Jia knocked Yue Ying out by slamming her head to the tree trunk once again.

Hu Jia: ”Find the maid and the kid.”

Subordinate: ”Yes!”

He dragged Yue Ying by her hair and nonchalantly walked away. Not far from they were, Xue Lang and Ming Yu were cornered at the side of a cliff. Ming Yu was crouching behind Xue Lang who was shielding her with his small body.

Xue Lang widened his eyes when he saw Hu Jia pulled Yue Ying up by her hair and slapped her face extremely hard.

Hu Jia: ”Wake up.”

Yue Ying's brows twitched as her eyes slowly opened. Hu Jia smirked as he signaled his subordinate with his eyes. His subordinates nodded their heads and charged at Xue Lang.

Xue Lang summoned his ice scythe and blocked their continuous attacks. But he couldn't stand a chance against trained assassins like them. It didn't take them long to subjugate Xue Lang.

Hu Jia indifferently stared at Ming Yu who was silent all the time.

Hu Jia: ”Turn her around.”

Hu Jia's subordinate pulled Ming Yu's hair and turned her around. Hu Jia's eyes brightened up by the sight of two babies in Ming Yu's arms.

Hu Jia: ”Interesting.”
