Translator: Soldier
However, Sister Li had hardly taken Yun Wu to the door when they saw a couple of figures rapidly shooting towards them with whooshing sounds.
In a short while, the fat man with cold eyes arrived at the cottage, followed by five guards.
"Where are you planning to hide?" the fat man's sinister voice was heard.
Sister Li's face changed. Instantly, she moved in front of Yun Wu, as if she wanted to hide her.
"Wha–What do you want?"
In a remote village like this, no residents here had ever learned any kung fu. In front of these warriors, they were literally powerless to defend themselves.
But Sister Li still steeled herself and ventured into raising her eyes to look the fat man and the others in the eye.
Yun Wu knew she was trying to protect her.
The fat man's face was full of impatience, "You village woman, get away from here if you still have some senses. Don't try to be a busybody."
Upon these words, he raised his hand and ordered the five guards beside him, "Go. Take her."
Immediately, the five guards walked towards Yun Wu.
Like a hen protecting a chick, Sister Li tried to stop them, "What are you doing? How dare you do this in public – "
Before she could finish her sentence, a guard impatiently grabbed Sister Li and intended to throw her away.
However…
"Snap!" the sound of a wrist breaking was heard.
"Ah… " the guard let out a shriek of pain and his face went somewhat pale. Due to the sharp pain in the wrist, he loosened his grip on Sister Li.
Yun Wu's purple eyes flashed in the direction of those men with a bland look. She was holding the guard's wrist with her small hand in a relaxed manner, but the wrist had been twisted into a weird shape.
"I'm the one you want. What's the point of hurting innocent people?"
The instant her bland voice died away, Yun Wu casually moved her hand and the guard's body was violently thrown away, giving a somersault along the way.
It seemed as if she had just thrown away a piece of rag.
The other four guards widened their eyes, looking at that seemingly petite teenage girl in surprise.
That guard was a warrior in late stage of Tier VI, but he had got thrown away by her in such a casual way?
The fat man's pupils secretly contracted, but the look on his face went even colder. These guards had been specially selected to deal with that mysterious teenage girl.
Unexpectedly, the fight had barely started when one of them was thrown away.
"What are you standing there for? Go together and take her!" the fat man seemed to have been provoked, his face full of ferocity.
Hearing this, the other four people mobilized their fighting spirit and stretched out their hands to grabbed Yun Wu. It seemed that they intended to capture her.
Yun Wu slightly squinted. When the four guards were reaching out their hands to grab her, her figure uncannily vanished into thin air.
Having missed the target, the four guards were stunned, eyes gleaming with astonishment.
Where was her?
The fat man also widened his eyes and it seemed as if he was about to rub them, 'What happened?' How did she disappear?
All of a sudden.
"Now that you've come here and found me, I'll take your lives," a cold, calm voice came out of thin air and passed the fat man's ears.
The fat man's eyes went vigilant. He subconsciously flashed forward, whipped out his sword and slashed at the source of the voice.
But the next second, a gleam of cold light flashed past the fat man's eyes.
All movements seemed to be immobilized at this instant.
Eyes dilated, the fat man stared at Yun Wu who had just stabbed a dagger through his throat. His eyes were full of horror and disbelief.
He was in Tier VI, but before he could make a single move, he was…
"Your Lordship!"
Seeing that the fat man had been killed, the other four guards were stunned, but soon their pupils contracted, and with that they instantly mobilized their fighting spirit and shot towards Yun Wu.
This time, all the four guards were covered in killing aura.
Yun Wu's lips curved in a grim smile, an intense killing aura surging out of her.
She never showed mercy to those who wanted her dead.
After a sudden, phantom move of her figure, flashes of cold light were seen. She raised her hand and swung the dagger at her opponents, killing each of them with one blow…
When all movements stopped, the four guards were still in their offensive stances, but blood were gushing out of their throat, astonishment freezing in their eyes.
Was she an assassin or a warrior?
Four guards in peak stage of Tier VI.
She had cut their throats before they could make a single move.
The last guard with a broken wrist widened his eyes which were full of horror.
"Shuh…"
A gasp was heard, and Yun Wu didn't know whether it had come from Sister Li's mouth or her dilated eyes in which astonishment glinted.
She must have been shocked to see Yun Wu's moves, since she hadn't expected that Yun Wu's kung fu was so good.
"Sister Li, find some villagers to deal with these bodies. I'll go get Grandma Medicine back," Yun Wu looked at Sister Li and said.
Then she grabbed that fat man's body, threw it to that guard who was still alive and said coldly, "Carry this and lead the way!"
The guard raised his head and look at the teenage girl in front of him, eyes full of horror.
But he didn't dare to resist, because he could distinctly feel that if he disobeyed her or tried to play any tricks, he would end up just like those bodies.
…
In the mansion of the Murong family's offshoot in the Luoyang City.
The figure of a guard rushed in hurriedly as if he had something extremely urgent to report.
Thousand Murong, who was teasing a caged little bird, frowned with a cold look of discontent flashing across the bottom of his piercing eyes.
"Young–Young Master. Something bad happened. Elder Uncle go–got killed… The one who killed Elder Uncle is coming… " the guard reported, his breath coming in short gasps due to the unduly hasty rush he had made.
The Elder Uncle he mentioned was the fat man.
Hearing this, Thousand Murong, who had been teasing a little bird, was transfixed with shock, "Elder Uncle was killed?"
With that his piercing eyes glinted coldly, "Where is that person?"
"Right outside the gate. Elder Uncle's body was brought back and drew many commoners here."
Thousand Murong squinted with a dangerous look, his face sepulchral, "Go invite that person inside. Don't inform Young Mistress yet."
"Young Mistress has heard the news and headed for the gateway… " the sepulchral look on Thousand Murong's face made the guard quiver involuntarily.
He knew that the Young Master had a wide-spread reputation for his unpredictable temper.
Any minor mistake could cost his life.
Thousand Murong's eyes darkened as he heard the guard's words. There was an air of coldness about him, which people could distinctly feel from far away.
Lucky for him, the Young Master turned around with a twitch of his arm and headed for the gate.
…
The East Avenue of the Luoyang City was one of the busiest streets in the city.
And the mansion of the Murong family's offshoot was located at the most prominent position on the East Avenue.
At this moment, a pretty figure was standing at the gateway of the mansion of the Murong family's offshoot. That was a teenage girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in gunny clothes.
However, that teenage girl was giving off a cold air and looked dangerously callous, the fat man's body beneath her foot.
Beside her, there was a guard with a twisted wrist lying on the ground. Judging by the clothes he was wearing, he was the Murong family's guard.
All those who passed by gave an amazed glimpse at petite Yun Wu, and many lookers-on were whispering to each other.
"Isn't that the Elder Uncle of the Young Master of the Murong family's offshoot? What happened?"
"I heard that the Elder Uncle is a Tier VI warrior. How come he's lying on the ground beneath that girl's foot?"
"No. Look. It seems that the Elder Uncle is dead. There's a bloody hole in his neck… "
"Dead? No way. Who dares to hurt members of the Murong family in Luoyang City?"
"… "
People's discussion in muted voices were heard.
There were four guards standing on the two sides of the gate. Faces sullen, they were holding unsheathed swords and looking at that teenage girl vigilantly, but none of them dared step forward.
Because that guard lying on the ground was in peak stage of Tier VI, but she had just knocked him out with her bare hands.
And she was stamping on the Elder Uncle's body.
Not long after a guard went inside to report, a gloriously clothed female quickly walked out of the mansion with an angry face, followed by two guards.
Before those guards could speak, someone thundered.
"Who killed my elder brother exactly?" there was an intense killing intent in the furious reprimand.
The voice was from a female about twenty seven or twenty eight years old who was dressed in clothes made of leno and brocade. She had a well-featured face, but all those jewels on her made her seem somewhat vulgar.
At this moment there was a sepulchral look on her face.
When she saw the figure of the fat man who was beneath the teenage girl's foot, Luo Shanshan abruptly widened her eyes, fury welling up inside her.
She glared at Yun Wu.
"Go kill her."
Hearing the order, the two guards behind her immediately whipped out their sabers, rushed forward and slashed at Yun Wu.
Their movements were agile and decisive.
They were Tier V warriors!
Seeing this, those lookers-on exclaimed in amazement.
"That teenage girl is too reckless. She should never have messed with the Murong family. She's still so young. What a pity… "
"That's true. She should have known the status of the Murong family in Luoyang City… "
"… "
However, the sound of the mumbling hadn't died away yet!
Yun Wu's cold eyes swept through the two guards and with that her figure turned into a rapid blur and dodged aside. The two guards missed hitting the target.
Before the two guards could react, a mysterious power suddenly grabbed them and threw them away.
"Bang, bang!"
With two thuds, the two guards violently impacted on the stone lion statue in front of the gate.
"Puh!" both guards spat blood and seemed unable to stand up any time soon.
Passers-by who were looking on couldn't help letting out exclamation of shock. Those were Tier V warriors.
Luo Shanshan's face instantly changed, her pupils abruptly contracted, "It seems that you're not bad. Then today, I'll take your life myself."
She pulled a whip off her waist with a burst of Tier VI early-stage cyan fighting spirit and ferociously waved her wrist.
"Swish!" the whip split the air.
The long whip shot at Yun Wu like a bloodthirsty python.
Killing aura pervaded the space. There was no doubt that this whip blow was powerful enough to smash a person into pieces.
Yun Wu coldly curved her lips. But this time she didn't dodge but stretched out her small white hand and squarely grabbed the tail of the whip.
Under the astonished gaze of those lookers-on.
She tightened her grip and abruptly pulled the whip backwards. Luo Shanshan, who was holding the other end of the whip, hadn't reacted yet when she lost her balance and was pulled forward along with her whip.
However, right at this moment when she was about to fall and embarrass herself, Luo Shanshan quickly somersaulted, drew a dagger out of thin air and conveniently thrust it at Yun Wu.
Yun Wu pinched the coming blade with two fingers without even glancing at the dagger out of the corner of her eye.
A look of amazement flashed across Luo Shanshan's eyes.
At this very moment, Yun Wu's fighting spirit secretly surged out. With a lateral movement of her fingers, she quickly pushed the blade in Luo Shanshan's hand towards her neck…
