400 Exploration
Jun Hua found herself a bit lost. The forest was big, and she had no clue where she was. Her original intention was to quickly find Soujin, but it would be impossible in this place.
"I forgot to ask for a map."
That was probably one of the dumbest things she has ever done in her life. Jun Hua ran inside the forest. Although she didn't know the place, she should be able to find him if she were to follow the route.
It didn't take long for her to encounter several people, or more correctly, they were the one who found her.
"She's here!"
"Attack!"
Jun Hua looked towards the incoming men with a dumbfounded expression. Has she become a criminal in this place? That was really quick. She was pretty sure she didn't leave any trace that she came here.
On second thought, she knew that her way of coming was rather outrageous and probably they have already seen that scene. Well, not that it mattered much. She chose to erase those thoughts from her mind as she moved to counterattack the assassin.
Before long, the fight has finished.
"Hey, guide me to the Long Kingdom representative's place, " Jun Hua nudged the last assassin with her sword.
The assassin nodded his head in agreement. This girl was simply a monster. There was no way any ordinary person could hope to achieve the same speed and power as the girl. He struggled to get up and started walking with Jun Hua followed behind him.
Before long, she found herself being surrounded once again, "I figured you might want to call for your friend."
Her tone of voice was devoid of any emotion and the assassin felt shiver all over his body. It was not like he wanted to call for his friend, but with his wounded body, he can't conceal his presence too well. Somehow, he wished to never accept this job in the first place if he knew that he would meet a demon like her.
"Oh well, it has been some time since I have proper training, " Jun Hua readied her stance, "Make your move."
...
Nanglong Soujin stayed silent for a longer time. The others were already feeling rather numb with waiting, yet none of them dared to overstep their bounds. When Soujin finally spoke again, they felt it was already hours when in fact it was not even one minute.
"Do you know what kind of people that I hate so much, Prince Sao?"
Xiao Sao looked at Nanglong Soujin's expression carefully. The next word from Soujin would decide the result of this talk.
"I always hate being threatened by other people, so I suggest you didn't try it, " Nanglong Soujin spat his words one by one slowly.
Xiao Sao eyes narrowed at Soujin's sentence. There was no way he wouldn't understand what the other party means. As someone who was standing at a high position, he too would never want to let himself be threatened by others.
"You seem to care so much about her."
Of course he does! Nanglong Soujin would never want anything to happen to his little wife. If anything were to happen to her, he would surely crush this entire kingdom for harming his wife. He slowly stood up as his eyes never left Xiao Sao.
"Tang Xuan, I refuse to continue this trade, you should go."
Tang Xuan nodded his head and pulled the shivering Xiao Meng up. From his seat, Xiao Sao sneered. If he didn't wish to cooperate, then he could only fight.
Steward Du moved towards Tang Xuan at once, but Tang Xuan readily took his sword and welcomed the attack calmly. On the other hand, Soujin also unsheathed his sword and stood before the prince with an indifferent face.
"You're truly a poor trader, " he remarked.
Xiao Sao's face darkened."Kill him!"
"You should have known beforehand, violence when doing business is a big no, " Nanglong Soujin moved his feet and calmly evaded the attack while at the same time counterattacking them back. In a swift move, he had already finished most of them.
Steward Du saw what happened and changed his course to attack Soujin instead of Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan used this chance to drag both Xiao Meng and Lin Hong out of the room.
"Chase after them!"
When the men tried to chase after Tang Xuan, Soujin blocked their way and finished them all. The only one who managed to block his attack in time was Steward Du. He stared at Soujin with his cold and indifferent gaze, seemed to be ready to attack a fatal strike at any time.
Xiao Sao's face paled at the sight of his guards getting killed like chickens. How in the world this man achieve that height in term of martial art? At least, there was still Steward Du standing and block the other party attack perfectly.
"Send the others to chase after Tang Xuan. Don't let him get away." With that order, Xiao Sao turned around and left.
Nanglong Soujin moved to attack Xiao Sao, but Steward Du moved first and blocked his attack, rendering him unable to chase after the other party. His eyes narrowed at the feeling of their blade collided. Although he already guessed that the other party was a martial artist, he could feel that this man was even stronger than Tang Xuan.
Inside his mind, he wanted to charge that man even more for making him handle this man.
"Don't regret coming after me, " Nanglong Soujin warned calmly, "I will send you to your friend place soon."
Steward Du didn't have any reaction in the face of Soujin's threat."You're not the only one who could threaten us. Without your wife taking care of your son, do you think we would pass upon this chance?"
"You're truly asking for it, " Nanglong Soujin murdering intent has raised to a new peak. If they wanted to target him and attack him, he would welcome them and would give them a proper greeting. But if they target his family, he would never allow them to go.
Steward Du tightened his grip on the sword. He could clearly sense that the angry Soujin was far more dangerous compared with when the other party was not angry. The topic of his family had surprisingly made him snapped.
This would be a tough fight.
