016 Heavy Killing Intent

Guilty of of despising imperial ornament? Linghu Shui Yue’s face slightly changed color. She didn’t dare oppose as she took the jade pendant off his boot, depositing it in her sleeve.

She, right now, was Linghu Huo Ri, Linghu eldest young master, not the mad Linghu Shui Yue. This Zhu ninth lord isn’t someone she can afford to offend.

What to do? This Zhu ninth lord, though he was surnamed pig (Zhu), but his head doesn’t seem to be a pig’s head. Why was determined to follow her? What was his ulterior motive?

(T/N: it’s a pun because pig in chinese sounds the same as zhu)

A man like him, the distinguished and noble You wang, wouldn’t be so bored, neither would they encounter one another without reason.

She couldn’t kick him out of the carriage. Whether it was his identity or martial arts, she was at a disadvantage. It looks like she can only stick with him and then wait for an opportunity once they arrive at Yu Qiong Lou.

After calming down, Linghu Shui Yue shook the paper fan. Just as she was feeling the compartment was too gloomy, she was taken by surprise when Zhu You Hong suddenly said in a deep voice: “Danger!”

Accompanying his voice, he picked her up with a speed that was like a sudden peal of thunder that left no time for covering one’s ears. Just as Linghu Shui Yue’s expression became slightly cold, she heard a “peng!” sound and felt herself shooting up towards the sky. The roof of the carriage was split open by Zhu You Hong’s palm! They soared upwards, rising into the middle of the air.

Killing tent! A penetrating killing intent permeated the air in the darkness of night. The moonlight suddenly became dim and eerily quiet. The cold arrows whooshing by their ear was endless.

Linghu Shui Yue was already in midair, glancing around, she couldn’t help turning pale! If it wasn’t ninth lord’s speedy reaction, what would have happened then?

The carriage they were just sitting in were already pierced with a dozen more sharp arrows on both sides. Fortunately, the sharp arrows didn’t seem able to penetrate Linghu General Manor’s carriage.

Suddenly, like phantoms and ghosts, four masked men in black, who knew where they appeared, together in a blur of black stood in front of the carriage. When they saw Linghu young master was being held by You wang, they were surprised. Their bodies paused at the same time.

However, surprise was only just in a blink of an eye. One of them said in a low voice: “Kill!”

As soon as the word kill was uttered, four men in black struck together with their swords and blades, exhibiting qinggong like mounting clouds and riding mist, waving the sword and lifting their blade to slash towards them!

They seemed to want to end the fight quickly and cut down Linghu eldest young master. But they held back from striking the mouse in fear of confronting the vase (T/N: showing caution despite the target being easy to take down). They didn’t expect that there would be the addition of You wang ninth lord with Linghu young master.

Zhu You Hong put Linghu Shui Yue back down on the carriage: “You can go hide in the carriage. Your family’s carriage apparently isn’t easily penetrated by blades or swords.”

“Okay! Then I must bother ninth lord to dispatch them!” Linghu Shui Yue, though she had her the skills in 18 different weapons from the modern era, but they flew in midair, how can she do this kind of qinggong?

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, she quickly ducked into the carriage, only leaving a corner of the curtain open as a pair of eyes keenly watching Zhu You Hong deal with the four masked men in black.

A distance away, the faint sounds of fighting traveled over. Presumably, the two family soldiers she brought with her and Zhu You Hong’s attendants all encountered the men in black. But the sound of arrows stopped.

Vaguely under the moonlight, amongst the four men in black, three used long swords, one used a large saber. All of them used blades to greet ninth lord.

Obviously, they want to extricate themselves to kill Linghu young master. Only, they were tangled up with ninth lord whose blade flashed by. It was difficult to extricate from ninth lord’s murderous aura. If they weren’t careful, they will be injured from the blade.

After some time, shrill screams sounded. The man in black who used a saber was the first to fall. The other three using swords in a blink of an eye were severely injured by You wang’s blade, falling over. One of them fell forward, afterwards spewing out blood.
