While the conversation between the two was still in progress, below them, the situation had suddenly reversedââ
Because Miss Liu was beginning to see that her attacks had been going on for a long time without success, as well as the fact that young master Zhao keep adding oil to her fire: her fury reached a peak. Her other hand successfully completed the motion of drawing an arc in the air, and together a rain of arrows, hiding the sky and covering the earth, attacked toward the body of young master Zhao.
Quite clearly, this Miss Liu was not only a martial artist but also a water element mage.
Due to the nature of the intense close-quarters combat, young master Zhao still hadnât set up any defenses. An ominous woosh of the wind sounded, as no less than seven water arrows, similar to sharp swords, pierced every part of young master Zhaoâs body.
Young master Zhao had an incredulous expression on his face. When he had toppled to the ground, he died while refusing to close his eyes*.
Miss Liu joyfully threw a glance in the direction of the second floor, and afterwards with a conceited manner, she walked away and returned to her team members.
âYoung master!â
The row of bodyguards behind young master Zhao had just seen their own young master killed, so each and everyone of their eyes were bloodshot from rage. Baring their teeth, they truly wished to split in their enemyâs eyes and pop their veins until it exploded with their own two hands.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
All of them did not give any regards to their lives and threw themselves toward the young Miss Liu. Having pledged with their lives to eviscerate her with their machetes, they attacked with the hope of avenge their own young master!
However, the schoolmates in Miss Liuâs company were not vegetables. They were all brilliant students from the best Imperial Mage school. They could all hold the title of legendary geniuses.
Consequently, a battle royal was about to unfold .
The restaurantâs owner, was that pair of grandfather and grandchild. Their eyes were full of alarm mixed with despair, when they saw young master Zhao go down.
At this time, the restaurantâs door had already been closed by someone. When the patrons in the lobby saw the situation was going to run amok, at any second; as fast as they could, each and everyone of them run upstairs.
They all gathered at the entrance of the staircase on the second floor. Those few who knew about young master Zhaoâs background, felt they had really encountered calamity and expressed mutual faces of those who were truly out of luck.
But not everyone knew about young master Zhaoâs background, so among them, one piped up and asked.
A middle-aged fellowâs face, who knew the truth about young master Zhao, forced out a bitter laugh. âBecause of this situation, we can only be considered to have thoroughly encountered bad luck. You outsiders wouldnât know. Young master Zhao was the local provincial governing officialâs son. His only son. We never thought he would die this way.â
A person interrupted saying, â his merely a senior provincial officialâs son. Whatâs so amazing about that?â
In Eastern Ling Empire, if all of the senior provincial officers were added together one would find there were no fewer than 20 or 30 of them.
The middle-aged fellow continued to laugh bitterly. âThis place is a small town on the edge of an artery of Sunset Mountain Range. Someone who is the senior provincial officer here, how could he be an ordinary useless official, who would normally only be fit for gorging and boozing? This honorable senior provincial officialâs martial art ability is deep and unmeasurable. Itâs said that he is at least above the fifth step! â
âFifth step....â
The bystanders immediately become mutes.
Fifth step... how many fifth step expert could be found in the entire Eastern Ling Empire? Even the great general that protects this country, the Su general, is only at the fifth step.
âAi, that young lady is also really...!!! If youâre going to save people, then just save them! Why did she also have to go and kill young master Zhao?!?â
âIf this type of scum in the community is not to be killed, could it be that you wanted to leave him alive to continue to endanger other fellow villagers?â
âThen you could have still killed him in secret. Right now, the old uncle and his granddaughter is implicated in this debacle, and Zhao Official also likes to cover up for his son. This begs the questions of how those two kinsfolk could live day to day in the future, ah? Is this really saving them or harming them?
âThatâs exactly it. That young lady looks so beautiful and smart. How could she act so impulsively? She and her companions, however, are better off. When the time comes they can slip away and leave the town. But then again, what can those two kinsfolk live on?â
However, at this time, the two kinsfolk that everyone was talking about were crying on each otherâs shoulders, with faces full of suffering and despair.
Su Luoâs eyes were pure ice, faintly breathed out a sigh. âMe and my big crowâs beak*, all that I said has hit the mark....â
Nangong Liuyun rubbed her head, a pair of deep beautiful eyes lazily watching the people below fighting as if their lives depends on it. Turned back his line of sight and narrowing his light phoenix eyes, a satisfied smiling expression began to creep over his entire face. âMy Luo girl is always so smart. Now, howâs it going to be dealt with?â
*he died while refusing to close his eyes â figuratively saying he died with grievances.
*crowâs beak â figuratively saying a person who has made an inauspicious remark.
