Tell Ye Xiudu to come out
Ye Xiudu furrowed his brows, then went straight out of the window jumping directly onto the roof.
The inside of the inn had already been thrown in complete disarray and dozens of black-clothed men pointed their swords at the bodyguard trio as well as some of the secret guards from the Mo residence, each one of them filled with killing intent.
The shopkeeper and the other workers had long been out of sight and there was no other guest besides them inside. This was due to the inn being fully rented by Shen Ying and the others along with the fact that it was located in a suburban area, where there were two or three other inns nearby.
Therefore, in this huge inn, there were only two groups of people standing in fierce confrontation.
Ye Xiudu’s eyes were frosty as they locked into the man who seemed to be leading the group of assaulters, his hands were already reaching for the inside of his sleeves…
Jin Liuli broke into Yu Qingluo’s room for the first time, the door forcefully opened with a ‘bang’. The noise of the door made Yu Qingluo’s body shoot forwards as she became immediately awake.
Seeing that it was Jin Liuli, she frowned, then placed back the device with silver needles she had kept beside her bed before jumping out of it.
“What are you doing?”
Yu Qingluo was the type of person who was extremely grumpy when forcefully woken up, and now she had just fallen asleep after travelling on a carriage for a long while, her bad mood was even more severe.
Jin Liuli paused, swallowing out loud as she hurriedly said: “The assassins came, Shen Ying asked me to protect you to leave first.”
The people who showed up this time were a bit tricky. Sure enough, the closer they got to the Capital the more dangerous it became.
Just who the hell had Ye Xiudu offended? There were too many people trying to kill him. They had already met several groups of assassins on their way to the Capital.
“Those guys have no end, do they?” Yu Qingluo’s displeasure reached its peak, did these people think she was that easy to bully?!
Jin Liuli’s lips twitched, secretly cursing. At what point did you look like someone easy to bully? Aren’t you the one who is always bullying others?
As she was thinking about that a rustle suddenly sounded from up the roof, followed by the sounds of a scuffle.
Jin Liuli’s expression changed, she hurried to pick up the luggage on her friend’s bed and turned around with a stern look on her face: “That’s not good, there are two groups of people. I’m afraid this time things will get really difficult.”
Ye Xiudu didn’t expect that there would be another group of people waiting for them on the outside besides the attackers inside the inn. And it seemed that they were not from the same group.
He let out a few cold laughs and smoothly proceeded to deal with those people that had jumped onto Yu Qingluo’s roof. But his brows were kept locked tight during all this time.
Downstairs there was already a sound of a heated scuffle, and Shen Ying’s angry shouts sounded from time to time.
“Peng Ying, stop!” Suddenly Wen Tian’s anxious voice shouted from downstairs.
Yu Qingluo and Jin Liuli glanced at each other and went to look at the situation downstairs at the same time. Seeing that Peng Ying had been fighting with a killer for some time and was being pushed back continuously, he was soon forced into a corner by two of the killers and even got stabbed in his arm.
“Liuli, go help them.” Yu Qingluo gritted her teeth, these people really weren’t afraid of death.
Jin Liuli glanced at her, and fully knowing that she was able to protect herself, she immediately pulled a soft whip from around her waist and brandished it, coiling it around the waist of one of the assassins surrounding Peng Ying and pulled him back violently.
Everyone was startled by the sight, even the killers halted their steps, staring in shock at the veiled woman holding a whip who had suddenly appeared out of thin air in the centre of the room, sending shivers down their spines.
“Yuexia Xiuluo ?” [1] (“Asura under the Moonlight”)
Someone exclaimed and took a step back unconsciously.
Jin Liuli brandished her whip and another person was sent flying. The way she brandished her whip was extremely brilliant, its movements looked like they were aimless, yet, like a poisonous snake, meticulously hit its victims’ vital points.
Shen Ying blocked an assassin’s attack then looked at the woman incredulously.
The Asura under the Moonlight? That cold-blooded top killer that was able to extinguish an entire gate [2] in a night? Was that person actually Shopkeeper Jin?
“The Asura under the Moonlight? Didn’t you vanish two years ago?” The leader of the killers seemed to be very annoyed. He took a few steps back as he stared at the whip in Jin Liuli’s hands.
That whip was the Asura Under the Moonlight’s symbol. As soon as this whip was taken out very few people would be able to return alive.
Jin Liuli smiled and then fiercely slammed her whip against the ground: “I was just taking a time off to recover, that’s all. It seems that in these two years of my disappearance, quite a few youngsters were able to earn some reputation.”
That killer took another step back. Originally, they were already struggling to deal with Shen Ying and the others, but now there was an additional appearance of the Asura Under the moonlight. Wouldn’t they have no chance to win then?
Damn it! He had wanted to catch that injured Peng Ying into his hands so he could have extra assurance, but he couldn’t have imagined that the Asura Under the Moonlight would suddenly show up in front of him.
The situation didn’t seem like it would be solved as easily as he imagined it would be. However, wasn’t it reported that Ye Xiudu was grievously injured and that as long as he dealt with the bodyguards around him he’d be able to kill him?
The killer’s face turned grey. Seeing his men die in the hands of the three bodyguards one by one made his heart burn in anger.
He had begun to plan a way to retreat when he looked upstairs and saw Yu Qingluo leaning on the railing on the second floor.
This woman… she seemed to be with them. And listening to her breathing, it seemed like she wasn’t a person skilled in martial arts.
The killer’s eyes suddenly turned sharp as he flew forward. His hands shaped like claws as he prepared them to grab Yu Qingluo.
“Miss Yu, be careful!” Shen’s eyes widened in horror as he saw the assassin in front of him break out from their fight and fly towards Yu Qingluo directly. This second of carelessness caused him to be stabbed on his shoulder.
” Ugh…”
Shen Ying’s body slammed against the pillar on the side, his forehead was coated in a cold sweat.
At that moment, Mo Xian and Wen Tian’s moves also became a bit disordered, but fortunately, they quickly got ahold of themselves and fought even more fiercely against the desperados.
However, they were extremely anxious in their hearts. Seeing that Yu Qingluo was being held by a killer with his sword pressed against her neck.
Damn it!!
Ye Xiudu who was fighting on the roof kicked the last person who held him back off of the inn’s roof. At the same time, his eyes locked onto Yu Qingluo’s position below and his hands tightened slightly into fists.
Wasn’t that woman very skilled? Why didn’t she hide? Even if she didn’t have any internal energy (TL: required for martial arts, the one where people fly), with her agility it wouldn’t be a problem for her to hide while they deal with the people in their hands before saving her.
Could it be that she turned stupid?
“Hold your hands, y’all hold your hands!” The leader of the killers looked at Shen Ying and the others who were thrown out of pace for a moment and knew that he had grabbed himself something valuable, turning immediately proud.
Jin Liuli put her whip away and raised her brows to give the killer who was smiling cruelly a look of sympathy mixed with pity.
Catching anyone was fine, but he HAD to catch Yu Qingluo. And to hold her in such close range… wasn’t he aware that one could only attack her from a distance?
“Tell Ye Xiudu to come out otherwise I’ll kill her.” The assassin’s leader dissatisfaction aggravated as he swept his eyes over the people downstairs.
