Baili Jia Jue then flung the limp black clothed person in his hand out. His pair of eyes didn't flinch at all as he stirred up fear in everyone!
"Baili Jia Jue, you..." The black clothed leader saw that as Baili Jia Jue raised his hand, waves of martial qi penetrated and he immediately was both startled and angry. However, he had misgivings of the formidable destructive power once Baili Jia Jue's fingers were raised, so he unconsciously fell back.
"This highness' name, is it something you can use casually?" Baili Jia Jue arced his lips and coldly smiled,this time only moved his fingers slightly. His emotionless appearance simply made it more difficult for people to watch.
However, following the sound of his voice, those innumerable black clothed people who were already backing up screamed, as one by one, they lay prone on the ground.
Everyone complexion changed color in fright.
At this moment, even if the black clothed people had a superior numerical advantage, nevertheless, facing this kind of heaven defying power from Baili Jia Jue, they also didn't dare to directly face this killing god.
Because no one informed them that Third Prince had already recovered his martial qi!
However, since they'd prepared to assassinate Third Prince, they couldn't just simply give up.
The black clothed people seemed as if they haven't concluded killing and wave after wave of people rushed forth towards him!
The beautiful youngster whose mouth was gagged narrowed his pair of eyes and watched these assassins approaching in unbroken succession.
The thin lips originally curving up slowly stiffened.
Oh no!
Something's not right!
These were not the Han family's soldiers coming to save him!
At the beginning, he even thought that these were his own people, because they were all dressed in the Han family's distinctive uniform.
He only informed them so they could give Imperial Older Brother a lesson.
He certainly didn't allow them to kill himself!
Moreover, if they were truly the Han family's guards, it'd be impossible for them not to recognize him!
"Ahh!" The beautiful youngster budged his own face and with great difficulty spit out the stinky socks from his mouth. "Imperial Older Brother, they're not the Han family's people!"
His words had just sounded out when the sound of disorganized horse's hooves transmitted over, echoing within the deserted long alley, it was extremely clear.
Right at that moment, Wei Wei, who was leaving, turned and pressed her back against the wall, listening to those sounds getting nearer and nearer.
"Girl." Yuan Ming's pair of ears also pricked up as his appearance immediately became different right after.
Wei Wei thought about it, directly leaped onto a roof, and gazed into the distance. She only saw a burst of smoke and dust rolling as thousands of troops rushed towards the direction of the inn.
These troops should be troops from nearby areas. Otherwise, it'd be impossible for them to be assembled over here in such a short time.
Wei Wei's pair of eyes tightened as she voiced in her mind 'Oh no!'
"Girl, why are you running so quickly?" Yuan Ming watched the large scale cavalry approaching closer and closer. "Girl, what in the world are you thinking of doing?" Clearly she knew it was dangerous, yet she ran back.
Wei Wei's head didn't turn around as she said indifferently. "It's because of waiting for me that Third Prince stayed at the inn."
"But there's such a large number of cavalry troops." Yuan Ming's demonic voice continued. "Based on your current ability, you can not handle them."
Wei Wei curved her lips into a smile. "That's not necessarily true." The sound of horses' hooves got even closer, the rolling dust cloud of innumerable armored horses arrived just a short distance from them in a flash.
Baili Jia Jue was standing right in front of the inn. His expression was as apathetic as always. His long and narrow phoenix shaped eyes slightly narrowed as his thin lips raised, overflowing with what seemed to be a cold smile that was not a smile.
When Wei Wei arrived, what she saw was this scene.
What kind of a time was this, yet this person actually could still form a smile. In addition, the expression on his face didn't show the slightest amount of fluctuation and seemed as if everything all around hadn't ever mattered to him.
The Third Prince was indeed as the rumors made him to be. Nothing could break that innate gracefulness that emanated from his body.
Wei Wei moved her gaze away from Baili Jia Jue's body to look towards the front.
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly stopped, because they'd already arrived at the door to the inn.
Wei Wei lifted her hand and just got ready to meet the attack when she was forcefully dragged by Baili Jia Jue into his embrace. His expression was unmoved as he placed her protectively behind him.
Wei Wei blanked out for a bit. Momentarily, a kind of a vague feeling formed in her heart.
"Kill!"
A general entirely covered in armor loudly commanded. The inn, which wasn't very large to begin with, in a flash, was solidly surrounded by armored cavalry like it was being flooded with tidewater.
Thousands of foot soldiers also encircled the area at the same time. Three layers of people in three 500 meter sections.
Even if the people within the inn were to grow wings, they still wouldn't be able to fly out. Killing intent enveloped the entire sky. The situation could escalate at any time.
The situation on this day was apparently a killing encirclement that was already well planned at an earlier time. The enemy's intent was obvious. They absolutely did not intend for Baili Jia Jue to return to the capital alive!
"Heh...."
Within the densely crisscrossed killing auras, Wei Wei very clearly heard the man standing by her laugh.
Only, killing intent was clearly contained within that laughter.
Within merely the time of a blink, the soldiers originally surrounding them fell down row after row and seemed as if they were trees in a forest devastated by a windstorm. Not a single soldier who approached them was able to escape.
Wei Wei's hair couldn't help but stand on ends.
Such a terrifying attack power was also something that only Third Prince could achieve.
Reportedly, he was a gold ranked tenth level!"
"Start by attacking the girl at his side." A black clothed person yelled from afar. It could clearly be seen that he should be those people's leader. There were still some who were a bit intelligent.
Only, they miscalculated a bit, and that was because the girl they wanted to attack simply wasn't some kind of weak female!
Chapter 132 - Wei Wei Was Exposed
As the corners of Helian Wei Wei's mouth arched, the hand by her side leaned and immediately, an umbrella appeared where there wasn't any. Her beautiful wrist turned and along with the umbrella's canopy, countless weapons fell, following which several screams were transmitted over!
All of those people haven't touched her in the slightest. On the contrary, they were beaten by her to the point that even standing up was a problem!
Baili Jia Jue turned and glanced at her, as a trace of a light smile emerged in his eyes. Within that devilish smile, there contained something ambiguous. Don't know if it was unintentional, or deliberate, but he again reached out and pulled her into his embrace again. The tone of his voice was indifferent. "You've splashed on me."
Only then did Wei Wei reacted. A certain highness had mysophobia (obsession with cleanliness) and absolutely didn't understand that in the process of fighting and killing, being splashed by blood was normal. What's truly abnormal was to be like him, who killed a number of people already without having been stained by the tiniest bit of blood...
"Let's go." Baili Jia Jue's eyes narrowed. He pulled Wei Wei into his embrace because he understood this group of people all too well. This group of people had alway done things absolutely ruthlessly. What'
s more, they won't leave the least bit of leeway. Therefore, the leader certainly would not just give up.
Wei Wei naturally also took note of this point, because more and more people continued to surround them which made it seem as if none were actually killed. The enemy even had fire arrows. Even if they had three heads and six arms (even if they possessed formidable abilities), to free themselves from this kind of attack still won't be an easy thing to do.
Wei Wei looked at those black clothed people slowly approaching and knew that these were all experts who have undergone special training. They approached carrying the determination and resolution for victory.
Meeting force with force simply wouldn't result in any good outcome. It'd be better to have Third Prince leave and have her stay to deal with the aftermath, then look for an opportunity to escape.
Wei Wei pondered this for a moment, then said to Baili Jia Jue in a hushed voice. "You go first, I..."
"This Highness does not want to hear that kind of utterly stupid idea." Baili Jia Jue didn't allow Wei Wei to finish speaking before he glared fiercely at Wei Wei. Within his eyes was a cold chill that wasn't concealed at all.
Wei Wei slightly stiffened. Based on Third Prince's intelligence, he definitely understood her intent, and also clearly understood that this indeed was advantages for everyone.
But why didn't he want to do that? ?
Wei Wei raised her head and was just about to say something.
When she was grabbed from behind by someone and lifted onto a shoulder as a slightly apathetic voice sounded out by her ear. "If you have time to be long-winded, then we might as well run quickly."
Thereupon, amidst thousands of staring eyes, Wei Wei was carried off just like that by a certain highness on his shoulder using one hand, while his other hand continuously engaged in battle.
No matter how many people attacked them, Baili Jia Jue still didn't come to a stop, as his incomparably graceful steps kept moving at an astonishing speed.
Wei Wei helplessly slapped the young man's lean yet buff shoulder as she wished that she could take an opportunity to do something, even if it was to bite at someone.
Those black clothed killers dashed forward one by one and relentlessly attacked in her and Baili Jia Jue's direction.
As soon as the group of black clothed people in front of them collapsed, those from behind would immediately rush forward. Nobody knew just how much manpower was prepared by the enemy. After having fought for such a long period of time, even if she and Baili Jia Jue were ironmen, they still wouldn't be able to continue standing.
In the beginning, between the two of them, it was Baili Jia Jue who carried her. After that, they leaned upon each other back to back.
Wei Wei was worried that these kinds of arrows would injure Baili Jia Jue, so she quickly turned her body and helped him block all of them.
Yet the black clothed person standing by the side apparently had anticipated that Wei Wei would do this and took advantage of the moment she was protecting Baili Jia Jue to change the double-edged sword in his hand and directly thrusted towards Wei Wei's direction.
Baili Jia Jue's gaze paused as he grabbed Wei Wei and turned, rapidly carrying her to his side to avoid the black clothed person. However, he was directly pierced by a fire arrow on his arm.
"Master!" The fire qilin cried in alarm and hurriedly rushed over. His anger burst forth as the earth quaked, a jolt which somewhat shook the entire Armament City.
Wei Wei was even more distracted as she saw the blood which quickly erupted forth and dyed her clothing black. Her heart suddenly tensed up as she raised her hand to resist the second wave of attack. Her foot then kicked that black clothed person an immeasurable distance away!
"There's poison on the arrow." Wei Wei looked down at the black colored blood as her gaze changed immediately. "It's Strength Scattering Poison!"
Strength Scattering Poison was a kind of extremely malicious poison, especially against martial artists. It could take away all of a person's martial qi!
Logically speaking, this kind of poison shouldn't have reasonably appeared within the War Dragon Empire, because it was already banned from use. However, someone unexpectedly still used it!
As Wei Wei looked at Baili Jia Jue's arm in close proximity, her thoughts took on countless twists and turns.
Not only that, as long as Third Prince continued to circulate his internal energy, his martial qi would quickly decline.
Once it reached the critical level, they wouldn't need to make a move and Third Prince would actually be bitten by his spirit beast instead. His meridians would be broken!
This was also why those black clothed people pursued relentlessly without the slightest scruple, unwilling to let go.
Baili Jia Jue tightly grasped the sword in his hand as the pupils in his eyes submerged deeper and deeper.
Upon seeing this, Wei Wei paused as her fingers clenched immediately after. She knew that as long as Baili Jia Jue circulated his internal energy.
The poison in his body would quickly permeate. When that time came, she's afraid that he...
That won't do. She absolutely couldn't allow him to lose all of his qi because of her!
Wei Wei's ordinarily always indolent expression suddenly became bitingly cold and sharp. "Yuan Ming!" She used her consciousness to summon what could be considered her own contracted demon as the light in her eyes slightly burst forth, just like a demon. "I'm using my identity as your contracted master to command you to kill them!"
Yuan Ming licked his thin lips. "What about their souls?"
"Let them nourish you." Once Wei Wei's voice fell, as her long hair slightly moved, the atmosphere next to her seemed as if there was some change. Little by little, it extended all around the surrounding areas. The black clothed people, one after another, stared blankly and simply could not move forward a single step. Their eyes were simply unable to open as a fierce gale blew forth. They could only raise their hands to block it!
After that, right at this moment, Wei Wei grabbed Baili Jia Jue's arm. Her whole body was like a sword that had been unsheathed as she directly faced the center of the black clothed people and thrusted over. Wherever she went, not one could escape.
Those black clothed people only felt a bright white light flash in front of their eyes and it seemed as if someone used a hand to choke their throats. By the time they reacted, their breaths had already been severed.
The gale that was suddenly raised made the leader among the black clothed people confused for a short while. He simply couldn't tell what was where.
The period of time was but a few tens of seconds. He only saw a tornado burst forth and twisted over. When he opened his eyes again, all of the dead people in front of his eyes were his own people, and he didn't know where the Third Prince that he wanted to catch had gone!
The only thing he was sure of was that those two people hadn't run very far, because the tornado disappeared within the vicinity!
The black clothed person's judgment was correct. Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue indeed hadn't run too far.
The stamina of the body Wei Wei inhabited was limited. If it weren't for the murderous encirclement today, she wouldn't have used a move that would require her to combine her cultivation with a demon's powers. Firstly, it's because this method wasted too much martial qi. Secondly, if someone with astute eyes saw her methods, they would know that it was related to a demon.
And within War Dragon Empire, cultivating demonic powers was not permitted!
Chapter 133 - Two People Getting Along
In regards to people who cultivated demonic powers, the first thing the four great clans would do was to exterminate them.
Even the imperial family was completely against demonic cultivation.
Because within War Dragon Empire there was a legend.
According to the several thousand years old legend, this Divine Continent initially truly wasn't ruled by humans.
And instead was entirely controlled by
a man within whose veins flowed the blood of the demon clan.
However, he wasn't interested in power at all.
No matter how much the outside world flourished, it had no relation to him.
He only lived within his palace, possessing the good looks and eternal life that everyone envied, a devil who held the whole world in his hands.
No matter whether it was the spirit beasts or the humans, they all possessed a kind of abnormal adoration and worship towards him.
They wanted to approach him, yet simultaneously also revered him in their hearts.
But the human race couldn't be controlled forever by a demon.
That's why all of the influential clans sent a young lady to approach this man.
The young lady simply couldn't imagine that in this world, besides herself, there could be such a imposingly noble person.
He only sat on the throne and didn't even glance at her, and instead gazed out of the window at the forest in a cold and detached manner. He half supported the side of his face and casually smiled, get actually made the heaven and earth pale in comparison.
Just like that, the young lady fell in love with this man. But at the final moment, for the sake of mankind being able to rule the entire continent, she chose to betray him.
She met with two buddhist monks who had profound magical powers derived from their blood and their having loved a pure life. They followed along the mountain range along the Divine Continent and in the four directions of east, west, north and south, they set up four seals that had the power to subdue monsters and get rid of demons.
This short bit of history was recorded thus in the Daoist scriptures. "At that time, the earth suffered landslides and the ground split open. Ghosts wept and gods howled. The heavens fell in a rain of blood continually for seven days and seven nights. Hordes of demons were trapped in the underworld for eternity to never see the light again."
All for the sake of entrapping that demonic man, because the young lady knew how strong he was. Even if he was weakened by a bit, they wouldn't be able to suppress him.
