Repairing the Past

Chapter 34

The horizon was darkened as Chu Yao and A-Wei walked out of a small restaurant. The capital's roads are so crowded. It looks like people are passing by.

From parents to children there is the joy of welcoming the summit party at the last festival of autumn.

Many young couples perpetuate their momentum on that festive night. It was not uncommon for Chu Yao to find some couples who were being spoiled. Pretending to be angry so that his partner will persuade him.

Chu Yao chuckled amusedly yet also felt empty all of a sudden. Being among the crowd, for some reason still feels like a stranger alone.

"Miss, we better be careful. Looks like someone's been following us since we got out of the diner." A-Wei half whispered.

"Yes, I've realized it. We better get them somewhere quieter." Reply Chu Yao who slowed her footsteps.

A-Wei understood, it would be dangerous to cause a commotion among the crowd. Especially to make innocent people hurt because of their fights.

"How many people?" Ask Chu Yao again.

"Maybe about twenty or so people."

"How many people are experts?"

"Clarity people. That's the visible amount. We should be wary of an invisible amount."

"That means there's a hidden possibility of an additional attacker." Limpal Chu Yao with a serious face.

"really. They are not just ordinary criminals. They're like well-organized people."

Chu Yao loosened the wrist of the clothes and prepared the dagger Mo Yan gave off at the tip of her palm.

They stepped faster down the road that was quite wide and quiet. Their faces stiffened as several people dressed in black appeared to show themselves following them from behind.

In an instant Chu Yao and A-Wei were surrounded. Both reflexes are turned on each other. Positioning themselves with swords and daggers.

"Capture the woman alive!" Raung one of the men in black.

Instantly the men advanced and attacked simultaneously. Even fighting is inevitable. A-Wei's sabre ripped through the bodies of those people.

One by one the human body is in an irregular position. Although many have fallen, but the spirit of the people did not recede to attack.

The A-Wei movement is quite agile. He easily killed several people at once. Chu Yao was no less agile. Although his abilities were not as good as A-Wei's, at least he was still able to curl up and make some martial moves to protect himself.

The sound of swords clashing against each other. The screams and splashes of blood that pooled above the ground had made the place feel gripping.

Chu Yao and A-Wei retreated slowly. Both breaths go up and down quickly. The people dressed in black seemed endless. They are outnumbered. Although A-Wei is skilled at fighting, but they will still lose because they are out of steam.

"Sister Yao!" Lin Lin's distinctive voice called out to Chu Yao loudly from the end of the road.

Chu Yao automatically turned her body around. Everyone's eyes were fixed on a train. Zhao Ming De and his younger sister and two servants were beside them.

"Why are they here?" Chu Yao complained inwardly.

Anxiety began to show on Chu Yao's pale face. The presence of the two people actually made the escape plan that Chu Yao had put together to collapse.

"Miss, you better step back and stand guard near them. Let me block the movement of these people in the front row." Said A-Wei with a sharp look.

"good. Take care. Don't get hurt." Chu Yao replied with a nod of understanding.

Chu Yao walked backwards in a standby position. His dagger was pointed right in front of his chest.

"Miss Chu Yao, are you hurt?" Zhao Ming De asked with concern.

"Why are you guys here? Quickly leave! This situation is very dangerous!" Tukas Chu Yao was still in an attacking position.

"We happened to pass by. Avoiding crowded roads by people. And, finally seeing big brother Yao and those black-clothed people here." Obviously Lin Lin was a little frightened.

"Miss should go with us." Take Zhao Ming De. His handsome face seemed to paled as if it depicted the unfamiliarity of being in this kind of blood-filled situation.

"Go without me! You won't be safe if I'm with you. These assailants targeted me!" Said Chu Yao while doing a twisting motion and snatched the neck of the black-clothed man.

That person's blood spurted and splashed right on Chu Yao's face. Lin Lin gasped and shouted. The elder brother hugged his sister without letting go of Chu Yao's figure.

Time and again Chu Yao stabbed the assailants in turns. Until he was finally exhausted.  His body fell down, spewing fresh blood in a kneeling position with one leg. His breath was hunting so fierce. He could barely hear the sounds around him.

The sweat that fell was red along with the blood that was all over his body.

Zhao Ming De shuddered to see the beautiful figure turn into a bloodthirsty cold human. She did not look like the girl she knew.

"I told you from the beginning, didn't I?! You better leave this place." Sneer Chu Yao while wiping the blood on the corner of her lips.

"Miss lookout!" The sound of A-Wei echoing broke the night. He threw his sword right through the stomach of one of the black-clothed men who was about to attack Chu Yao from behind.

A-Wei turned around and dodged when another sword almost hit her body.

However a moment later another person managed to lock onto Chu Yao's movements. A-Wei reflex approaching. The bodyguard made a jumping motion and ended up injured in one arm when it freed Chu Yao from the clutches of the assailant.

Chu Yao rose up quickly and held back the fallen body of A-Wei. The girl realized that they were desperate. A-Wei's hurt. Not only on his arms but also on other parts of his body.

The attackers still had enough left. Chu Yao forced her brain to think fast. He even bit his lips unconsciously when he saw the helpless people behind him.

"You want to take me, don't you?" Said Chu Yao stalling, "let go of these innocent people then I will follow your will!"

Chu Yao furrowed her brows. This guy didn't mean to protect himself, did he?

If so, Zhao Ming De was precisely this rash one. The learned man did not even know how to use a sword or basic martial arts.

How could he put up a body to protect Chu Yao and the others here? Not safe even later they die silly.

"Miss! I can still fight them." Mumbled A-Wei who tried to stand while grimacing held back the pain.

Chu Yao did not care about the words of the two men. He gathered the remaining energy and pulled the body of young master Zhao firmly. The young man's body was thrown backwards.

Without shady aling-aling, the girl advanced through the defenses of the attackers. Some people he managed to paralyze but his body was not separated from the injuries.

When he began to resign, there was a voice of a man he knew very well was calling his name loudly.

"CHU YAO!!"

Mo Yan caught Chu Yao's limp body in his arms. The man swung his sword towards the attackers without feeling the slightest difficulty.

Some people died instantly. Mo Yan's indiscriminate movements had made the remaining assailants take a few steps back. They exchanged glances as if they were having a discussion with a glare gesture.

Mo Yan looked at Chu Yao's pale face. He put the girl on the side very carefully.

"Please wait here." Mo Yan muttered softly.

The man turned around with a sharp look. The look on his face has changed. Cold and looks savage. He attacked without mercy. Cut off the bodies of the criminals easily.

Mo Yan unsheathed the sword into the vital organ, then tore it apart until blood spurted out of the arteries of those people.

Zhao Ming De closed his sister's eyes with both hands. He did not want Lin to see that terrifying scene.

Zhao Ming De's hands trembled as he watched Mo Yan kill the assailants with his ruthless face. There's no mercy there.

Anyone who saw that sight would definitely be in immeasurable shock. Young master Zhao is no exception. The man's stomach was agitated. The fishy smell of blood that stung her had made her spit out her stomach contents.

A-Wei who had since noticed the man, finally chuckled amusedly in pain. Zhao Ming De's pale face was no less terrifying than A-Wei's pale face that lost a lot of blood.

"You reacted very naturally, young master." Said A-Wei weakly with a pat on Zhao Ming De's back.

The educated man is petrified. His mind had even disappeared for some time. Although trembling he still did not turn away from the two formidable figures in front of him.

Chu Yao and Mo Yan.

Zhao Ming De swallowed his saliva as Mo Yan dashed around rapidly and finished off the few remaining attackers with a single slash.

Although one of them who was still breathing seemed to retreat in fear with quite serious injuries, Mo Yan did not also forgive.

The young man clasped the neck of the remaining assailant firmly.

"Who sent you?" Mo Yan asked with a heavy and deep voice.

"Ti, don't know.. Ughhhh!" Reply to the man with pain in his neck.

"I didn't ask a second time!"

Check the neck tighter. The face of that man was so tormented. Zhao Ming De felt pity. He was a little unbearable with the form of torture that Mo Yan gave him.

But he chose silence. His sense of unreliability was greatly outweighed by the fear he felt towards Mo Yan's temperament which was like a hunting predator.

"SAY!" Repeated Mo Yan with increasingly firmer giggles.

"Ughh! The ka.. Sims.. Han.. "

The voice of the man instantly disappeared. His neck is hollow. He died in a single hand.

Eventually all the attackers died unceremoniously. Mo Yan sheathed his sword and took out a small bottle from under his clothes.

The three medicinal grains he put into Chu Yao's mouth. The woman swallowed obediently and fell back asleep in the arms of the bodyguard.

"How are you doing?" Mo Yan asked A-Wei while throwing the medicine bottle.

A-Wei caught the thing deftly, "Only an external wound. I can handle it after enough rest."

Mo Yan's gaze turned to the two elder sisters who still looked shocked beside A-Wei.

"Bring your master back to Zhao's residence!" Mo Yan's orders to the two maids who were behind the carriage.

The servants nodded obediently with faces that were still frightened. They hired both of their masters with a little bit of a limp.

Naturally, their knees would still be limp from watching the great slaughter just now.

Mo Yan did not care. He refocused himself on the figure of a woman who fell asleep tired in his arms.

"Rest until your wounds heal. I'll take care of him."  Mo Yan said to A-Wei.

With a light movement, he carried Chu Yao away leaving that bloody place.
