The Immortal Fire
Chapter 44: Let's Take Action



Morning looked through the dark, damp prison hallway, but the three young men did not seem to sleep all night to discuss one thing that has not ended until now.


"Are you sure?"


Liu nodded for sure. It felt less if there were no questions regarding his decision, Hu Xian was extremely shocked upon learning of it beforehand.


The girl intended to break into security alone, she also instructed Hu Xian and Wei Ziyou to evacuate the prisoners and make sure they came out safely.


"Ying, consider again. I know your intentions are good, but you shouldn't act recklessly. This was extremely dangerous," Wei Ziyou persuaded Liu Ying that the girl would not actually do her crazy plan.


But Liu Ying's desire could not be inhibited. If the girl had been determined, then no one could stop her, even if it was a god.


Hu Xian nodded as he looked at Liu Ying with a probing look. "You're the craziest person I've ever met, Ying."


"Me?" Liu Ying chuckled crisply. "I'm even crazier than you think. Therefore, it is impossible for you to stop me."


Carefully, Liu Ying sharpened his various sword weapons, and the few small blades he collected during the journey.


While Hu Xian still did not take his eyes off the girl, he did not try to prevent or advise Liu Ying but instead spoke a few empty sentences that had no effect.


"How about we just switch positions, I'll draw attention and block them. After all, I am a man, it is really my duty to protect you," Hu Xian proposed hiding his intent.


Liu raised the corner of his right lip. "You just realized you're a boy, huh? All this time I thought that you were Xiao You's sister, I just found out buddy."


Hu Xian screeched for that one sentence, completely irony. The young man punched Liu Ying in the shoulder slowly and was met with laughter by the girl.


After clearing his equipment Liu Ying immediately got up and opened the prison cell, it was quite lonely because some of the guards came out of the bamboo forest to look for prey.


"Ying, I asked one more time. Are you gonna really per-"


Within seconds the girl had already disappeared from their sight, leaving behind a sudden dust of feet and silence.


"Xian Gege," Wei Ziyou called out half in shock, he immediately pulled Hu Xian's arm for the man to respond. "Xian Gege, we have to help him!"


"Don't be stupid, Xiao You. I don't want to risk putting you in danger." Hu Xian blocked Wei Ziyou, then they walked down the cold prison cell.


...***...


Liu Ying leaped from the ceiling of the passageway and landed perfectly on the floor below. His blood was whizzing with adrenaline racing in his body, he was burning.


Liu Ying was not worried about being caught, as his goal was to attract the attention of the guards to have the prison empty.


Fortunately Liu Ying had already memorized the entire pathway and knew the location of the exit, his memory was quite good.


Liu Ying had already tied several small pieces of iron to each of his shoes, when the iron plates were so clashing that they would make enough noise to attract attention. Its function is almost the same as the bell, only the shape is simpler and slightly different.


Sure enough, before long guards began to arrive to look for the source of the sound. They began to grow violent when they saw a girl with ponytail hair now standing before them, not forgetting a sword in her right hand.


The masked guards looked at each other with their comrades, their veins and jaws immediately stiffened with angry gurgles.


"You underestimated us, huh?" snarled one of them.


Liu Ying smiled obliquely, then again ran towards the outside of the building. The guards did not stay still, they immediately plunged like chicks looking for a mother.


'good. His bait succeeded, Liu Ying's inner self while looking for a suitable position for him rested.


Now Liu Ying was standing in the middle of being surrounded, if he saw his position as completely unfavorable.


Those guards had at least broken through to the second tier Iron warrior class, but due to the incomparable amount, they could be said to be on par with Liu Ying in the same level of practice.


Without lingering for long, they instantly slammed their machete towards the targeted enemy, Liu Ying held him back with Bing Lian.


Liu Ying had only used that sword of his father's heritage for the first time, its good quality felt very clearly compared to the ordinary quality swords he had always worn all along.


The guards were thrown back a few steps, but again rushed forward without the slightest fear.


As soon as Liu Ying jumped to increase the distance, he had a lot of preparation. The girl kicked the pile of sand in front of her, causing some of the guards to become obstructed.


It was then that Liu Ying slammed his sword sheath behind each of their necks, that the numerous guards had now been subdued.


Liu Ying could not be proud yet, as their other comrades had already headed to where he stood. "Just give up, you're surrounded."


"Don't be foolish, you will only meet the same end as your comrades" sighed Liu Ying as he waved his sword arrogantly.


Their teeth rattled at the humiliation, until someone he seemed to have seen appeared in their midst.


Exactly, he was the man back then. The man who was mentioned as An Lang, he must be the leader.


"What interests do you have that you dare to mess up in this place?" he stared at Liu Ying from top to bottom.


The girl smiled disdainfully then approached making the other guards instantly alert. "You have committed a great sin by touching my people. As their leader, you must take responsibility."


"Your people? I don't know what you mean Miss, which is obviously not your place to mess around."


An Lang rubbed his nose, followed by the glint of a sword pointing right at him. "This lady is too aggressive, not knowing where your courage comes from, which is clear anyone who steps into this place is as dead."


Liu Ying's hand was still faithfully pointing at the sword, it seemed that he was completely unaffected by the man's words, he instead laughed crisply as if An Lang's words were a joke.


"I didn't come here to negotiate. A warrior does not speak with his mouth, but with his sword." Liu Ying blew a strand of hair dangling from his face, "In order for you not to get bored, let's get this over with right now!"
