The Immortal Fire

Chapter 07: Intercepting a Horde of Robbers

They continued walking, now that they were already in the outskirts of Lianhua city, they would soon reach the secret passage back to the Clan.

"Liu'er, Fang Yao. Can you walk slower?" Jia Li held her knees with a gasp of breath.

Liu Ying and Fang Yao glanced at Jia Li, "The grounds are slow!" fang Yao said in a mocking tone.

Jia Li pursed his lips, "You guys are so arrogant! If only the science of lightening my body wasn't this bad, I would..."

"Guestshsttt!" cut Fang Yao off, he realized there was a dense evil aura around them.

Liu Ying also sensed it, he became alert and watched with a keen eye around him.

"Get you out!"

In an instant, the air became stifling. The understanding Jia Li also tightened himself between Liu Ying and Fang Yao.

From the thicket there were about sixteen men in stout stature wearing black clothes and face coverings, likely they were a group of robbers who used to be in the area.

"Give me all the treasure you have!" said one of the robbers.

Liu Ying and Fang Yao exchanged glances, while Jia Li curled up behind them.

Fang Yao slightly advanced and spread out his hands to give protection to the two girls behind him.

"We have nothing, especially we are not from a family that is. Let us go if you don't want to be in trouble." Fang Yao said as he stared intently at the robbers. Honestly, he was very scared, but he tried to cover up the tension.

The robbers laughed bitterly, one of them who was the leader folded his hands on his chest.

"God! The arrogant boy. But there's a point too, what can we get from these three boys? And also, it seems like they are not from a distinguished family, but ... "

The robber leader grinned, "... We can sell them and make a lot of money,"

The man who was the leader of the robbers laughed, followed by the other robbers.

Fang Yao brought Jia Li and Liu Ying back a few steps in the same position. Liu Ying was already preparing to pull his sword from the scabbard, it was hung on his back.

"Catch Them!" given orders, the robbers positioned themselves around the three boys, restricting their movement.

Liu Ying and his two friends also made a formation, with their backs fusing together in a circle to strengthen the defense from various directions.

The three robbers started attacking them, leaving some of their members confident. One of the robbers raised his sword towards Liu Ying recklessly, it seemed like he was underestimating the three boys in front of him too much.

Liu Ying dodged the attack easily, he took out his sword. With a single swipe, his sword welcomed the attack from the robber.

The robber was startled to see Liu Ying able to survive every attack after attack he unleashed. He had underestimated the opponent, the boy in front of him had quite good martial arts.

The robber attacked the bottom of Liu Ying's arm, but was repelled by the girl with the tip of her sword, causing the robber to panic. Looking at the gap, Liu Ying floated his sword into the man's stomach and created a considerable wound on his opponent.

The man took a few steps back and found a quite serious tear on his stomach, he pressed his wound with his left hand while his right hand was still unsheathing the sword.

Smelling the scent of blood, Liu Ying's head felt throbbing. His ears buzzed and an indistinct whisper filled his head, he closed his eyes and shook his head then reopened his eyes.

Liu Ying grinned at the sight of his opponent being injured, he took the opportunity by swinging his sword continuously at his opponent with a random movement that was hard to read.

With a few slashes, the robber chief had separated from his body and spurted blood in various directions until it fouled Liu Ying's clothes.

The other robbers who had just been watching became panicked and immediately increased their alertness preparing to attack. The robber leader looked wrathful seeing his men defeated by some seemingly harmless brat.

Fang Yao and Jia Li who saw the brief incident also gawked in disbelief. Yet strangely, Liu Ying remained relaxed. He looks different from his eyes.

How could a girl who was still young enough be able to kill a middle-class swordsman at the Bronze swordsman level so vilely without fear?

Even Fang Yao who had been on several night hunts against the Iron Wolf assassin group had never done that to his combatants.

After Fang Yao, Liu Ying had never fought using such swordsmanship. For some reason, it felt like Liu Ying was turning into someone else.

Fang Yao was again busy with his opponent, he had no time to let his guard down. The robbers began to lose half of their guts after seeing their friend's corpse lying on the ground.

Liu Ying turned to the other robbers and came back grinning widely, he lashed out punches and slashes at them casually without fear.

Liu Ying's eyes became empty and stiff, making the robbers shudder in horror, but inevitably attacked him.

Four robbers surrounded Liu Ying from all directions, they attacked simultaneously without the slightest gap.

Very swiftly Liu Ying swung his sword with a twisting motion, making the four robbers rewind their steps.

Liu Ying's hand movements were so agile and fast that before the robbers realized, their heads were no longer in place.

Looking at the five corpses lying around Liu Ying, the robber leader clenched his hands furiously. His followers were dead and there were only a few more.

Fang Yao had already killed at least three people from his opponent, while Jia Li was still struggling with one robber who had been a match against him.

Seeing that Jia Li had no development, Fang Yao took over by throwing a crushing blow at the man's jaw and rendered him unconscious.

The leader of the robbers growled then muttered as if talking to himself, "This boy is dangerous, I feel a strange soul aura. It's unclear yet very domineering."

Liu Ying turned and looked at the robber leader sharply as if he had heard his words earlier. He shuddered in horror as his bead of eyes met directly with Liu Ying's eyes.

"It's not true, this girl has a strange and very concentrated bad Soul aura," the robber leader muttered again as he drew his sword, however he was a high-level swordsman of the Earth warrior class.

Suddenly he gave off an aura of soul killing him and made the atmosphere even more gripping. Fang Yao immediately pulled Jia Li away from Liu Ying while facing the rest of the robbers, while Jia Li had already paled and started vomiting to see so many corpses lurking in a terrible condition.

"I am an opponent comparable to you! I have wrongly underestimated people apparently," cried the leader of the robbers with fiery murderous lust.
