Chapter 17: Soul Suppressing Blood Formation (1/2)
Chapter 17 : Soul Suppressing Blood Formation
An ancient white carriage, that was around the corner, entered the street. The wheels grinded against the ancient street made from blue pebbles, creating a repetitive sound. The driver was an old man with a black veiled hat on his head.
“Master, the kid Feng Fei Yun just left? Will he make a move tonight or not?”
Zheng Dong Liu lifted a part of his veil, revealing a pair of old eyes.
In the ancient carriage came a hoarse voice:
“Feng Fei Yun has already started.”
“Has already started?”
Zheng Dong Liu seemed quite puzzled and asked:
“But the five thousand city guards are not mobilized, what will he use to combat the Eagle Hawk gang?”
“His move is called “during war, never stop deceiving,” the five thousand city guards were only a trick to fool San Ye. The true attack force is the one hundred and thirty six servants pushing the gift carriages. If I am not mistaken, these one hundred and thirty six servants were hand-picked from the absolute best of the city guards’ elites. They are the sharp knife aiming towards the heart of the Eagle Claw gang.”
The master responded.
(TL: A strategy in China. Literal translation would be War Never Tired Deceiving)
Zheng Dong Liu was still skeptical and asked:
“He wants to use one hundred people to kill the entire Eagle Claw gang? Is Feng Fei Yun crazy or not?”
-He is not crazy at all, the one hundred and thirty six elites are only the vanguard. They serve as a knife to disrupt the Eagle Hawk gang, the other five thousand city guards would be the real force.
Zheng Dong Liu became even more confused and said:
“But you just said that the five thousand city guards were only a trick to confuse San Ye; plus, they are still in the barracks outside of the city – they are simply not mobilized.”
“Heh heh, but Spirit State city has a total of ten thousand city guards, where did the other five thousand guards go?”
The master responded.
Having heard the remark, Zheng Dong Liu’s heart suddenly jumped, and yelled:
“Replace the beams with rotten timbers!”
(TL: A strategy from Sun Tzu’s 36 stratagems)
“Come! Feng Fei Yun did not let me down. I would like to see if he could give me any more surprises.”
The master was a highly intelligent woman. Any actions from Feng Fei Yun could not delude her eyes.
Zheng Dong Liu controlled the ancient white carriage and slowly headed towards the Blood Eagle Mansion.
The Blood Eagle Mansion was located to the east of Spirit State city; it was made from piling up blue boulders, like a huge castle.
The thirty feet tall walls had towers and battle stations, just like an impregnable fortress; the defense was formidable.
If Feng Fei Yun actually led five thousand city guards to attack the Blood Eagle Mansion, he most likely wouldn’t make it through the door before his entire troops were annihilated.
Now, the sun had set in the west mountains. The sunset was like a crimson flower on top of the peak outside of the city, illuminating the few last sun rays.
Feng Fei Yun jumped down from the Crimson Tiger’s back and landed firmly on the ground. He squinted his eyes towards the front gate; the blood in his eyes started to flow, like many small rivers.
Gently inhaling the air, one could smell a pungent stench of blood.
The thick walls were engraved with ninety nine skeletons, each of them were hideous. If it was night time, this place would turn into a ghost castle – simply frightening.
Feng Fei Yun took out two fingers and gestured in the air. His eyes became more focused, and mumbled:
“Clearly, this is the Soul Suppressing Blood Formation; San Ye is, indeed, truly capable!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a group of giant red eagles flew out from the Blood Eagle Mansion. With feathers as red as fire, their beaks had a symbol on them and were stiff like steel pincers.
They numbered around one hundred with claws as big as the human hands; they flew straight out from the green wall towards the carriages led by Feng Fei Yun.
“Whoosh Whoosh!”
The flapping wings of the blood eagles caused the wind to roar, it tore the air apart; they caught all one hundred servants carrying gifts, like an eagle catching a small chicken, and brought them all inside the Blood Eagle Mansion. Then, all of them disappeared behind the castle walls.
What was left was only Feng Fei Yun and housekeeper Liu, as well as the twenty eight large carriages.
This was clearly the first blow, it seemed like Feng Sui Yu had passed the message to San Ye that I wanted to deal with him.
Then… Very good, this was all part of the plan.
Fei Yun’s face still had a faint smile, and he laughed loudly:
“San Ye is a renowned person, is this the hospitality of San Ye?”
An old hoarse voice came out from the mansion, extraordinarily loud and far reaching:
“This was because of all of my naive animals, they didn’t know better and caught all of young master Feng’s servants; these beasts are too bold.”
San Ye’s voice reached to almost half of Spirit State city. His cultivation was really powerful, each of the sound waves turned into large sonic bells, heading towards Feng Fei Yun.
It was like a crazy hurricane coming without restraints!
“Bang!”
Housekeeper Liu suddenly stood in front of Fei Yun and knocked all of the sound waves away with one fist.
There was still a faint smile on Fei Yun’s face. He naturally understood the ridicule in San Ye’s words, and replied:
