24 Mollys and Roses past 3 (1/2)
Neary after several hundred years, Riza was feeling alarmed. The concealed trap before her... gave her a big fright.
She was frightened. But it wasn't for her life. It was for her two dear disciples' lives.
And this fear made her realise, that her senses were getting weak because of her ill-health.
If she were in good health, then she would have noticed this hidden trap miles away from her. Thus she was made to remember the thing which she neglected. Which was her remaining time... she was going to die soon.
Riza, Molly and Rose exited the carriage. After that, Riza uncoupled Rico with the carriage and asked it to protect Rose and Molly.
Rose and Molly weren't surprised at all; they already knew how strong this red bird was. Thou this red-bird Rico wasn't as strong as their master, but it wasn't weaker either. Even their master had to go all out to defeat Rico.
Looking in the direction of trees and bushes, which were on both sides of the road. Riza plainly said: ”why don't you come out?” however a little bit anger could be heard in her tone.
”hehehehehehe”
While Laughingly loudly, a black-clothed old man came out from behind the tree. Except at his, vicious looking face, Like a ninja, this old man was covered wholly.
On Seeing this old man, Riza's alertness maxed. Because she knew this old man was the famous poison-alchemist Rugong.And this person was as strong as her. But remembering she has Rico with her; Riza calmed a little.
Reverting her gaze back to bushes again, she said: ”hiding from me isn't useful. Why don't you people come out?”
Rugong was surprised, He didn't think this woman Riza already noticed every one hiding in the bushes. He looked at his back and laughed: ”hehehehehehe...its no use, she already noticed us all. come out.”
Six people came out from the bushes. and among these six people, Riza knew three. Who were the sect master Sen and two supreme elders, Aaron and Shakti. And looking at these three familiar faces, Riza understood the reason behind this sudden ambush.
This trio, Sen, Aaron and shakti suffered great humiliation in Riza's hand. And Sen was the one who suffered the most; he was beaten black and blue in front of his people!And he was beaten by a measly elder of his own sect! This was the biggest shame he suffered in his life!
Unable to swallow the shame Sen contacted Rugong and planned the ambush. He wanted to kill Riza and wash his shame with her blood! And although the ambush failed, Sen felt only little pity and nothing else, as he has confidence in Rugong's strength.
”and here I thought it was strange as you didn't create any obstacles for me when I left the sect. How could the great Sect master Sen tolerate the outrageous things, a small elder like me did to him? and to take revenge, you didn't even hesitate to use three precious healing pills.” Riza emotionlessly said.
But to Sen, Riza's words were a satire. And it was also as she said, he really did use three precious healing pills. He used one on him and the other two on Aaron and Shakti. Or else the severe injuries they suffered wouldn't heal this shortly.
Sen was angered by Riza's word: ”hmpf! you could still keep your calm ha? however remember this, today will be the day you die!”
And the three other people besides Sen, who dressed black like ninjas were Rugong's disciples.
Then soon every one circularly surrounded Riza's group. Then Rugong opened his mouth: ”you were lucky not falling in the hidden trap laid by this Poison-alchemist. But now you lucked out... Hehehehehe”
Riza felt the smiling face of Rugong was quite annoying. His face was really ticking her off, so she arrogantly said: ”Oh you say I am out lucked now? But if it's just you guys.... then it's not me who lucked out, it's you guys who have bad-luck now.”
As soon as Riza finished what she wanted to say, she dashed towards Rugong. She wants to take out Rugong first because Riza knew how dangerous this guy was. And removing him would be a massive blow to Rugong's group both in strength and moral.
The sudden attack from Riza sure surprised Rugong. He thought, {did this woman doesn't care about the two girls? But Sen said she loved them? Then why is she recklessly leaving them vulnerable?!}
It wasn't that Riza was reckless; nonetheless, she was confident in Rico. And Rugong's group didn't know how powerful this carriage-pulling Redbird was.
As Riza reached near Rugong, her speed tripled! With her full strength, she landed a punch on Rugong's left chest.
This punch wasn't a normal one; it was glowing in a golden colour which was Riza's skill.
BAM!
CRACK!
Rugong felt intense pain! The punch was abnormally powerful, It broke Rugong several ribs!
Rugong wanted to curse Sen... He really wasn't expectingRiza to be this strong. Because from the Information Sen provided to him, he deduced Riza must be a late stage emperor cultivator. However, from the punch, it was apparent that she was a peak stage emperor cultivator!
Due to the powerful punch, Rugong was thrust back, and Riza pursued him... She didn't want to give Rugong a chance to stabilise himself.
Seeing Riza following him, Rugong sprayed green coloured poisonous mist from his mouth. Spraying this Mist, Rugong felt strenuous, as he was feeling an enormous pain in his left chest.
Seeing the green-mist coming at her, Riza had to give up her pursue and dodge sidewards.
Rugong got a chance, he stabilised himself. He unsheathed his poisonous dagger and attacked Riza.
Riza also drew her slender sword, and she parried Rugong's attack.
CLANK!
Clashing of the blades made a loud sound, and just from the loud noise, one could understand how significant amount of strength both Riza and Rugong put.
Defensive wasn't Riza's style, so she became offensive and attacked Rugong,
Clank!*Spark*
Clank!*Spark*
Clank!*Spark*
CLANK!*Spark*
CLANK! *Spark*
CLANK!*Spark*
Initially, Riza's slashes were simple, with only contained brute force. But afterword... she started to use her skill. then her sword blade glowed in golden colour.
And with each clash even the sparks which flew turned yellow.
Parrying the strong slashes barely, Rugong cursed {Sen you M**** f*****! You pushed this father to a pit hole! I wouldn't have taken the deal, if I knew this Woman was this crazy strong!}
