Chapter 67
Nearly three hundred feet away, a handsome young man was seen standing on the top of a wall . He was clad in a long silver robe, with a white cloak behind him . Besides him stood tens of men with different heights and clad in black clothes . They were now staring forward like they had just seen a ghost .
Never in their wildest dreams they could have imagined that Wu Qi and the others would manage to survive the collapse of these giant rock walls . Yet, Wu Qi's movements were as quick as a sudden thunderbolt . When he pushed away the rocks and came back up to the ground, all these men were awestruck . And in just this brief mindless moment, nine steel bolts came whistling in their way .
The silver robed young man cried out in shock . He swayed his body and fell off from the top of the wall in a sorry state .
Although he was fast in dodging the assault, his shoulder was still pierced through by one steel bolt, leaving behind a big hole in it . The young man shrieked painfully and lost his balance while falling off . His right ankle twisted a bit when it impacted on the ground . A crystal clear bone cracking sound echoed out; his leg was broken .
Out of these tens of men in black, five were wounded by the steel bolts . The Nine Cloud Piercing Strongbow was a very powerful weapon, and anyone who got hit by its bolts would have his body instantly pierced through, leaving behind a see-through hole the size of a toddler's fist . Fresh and warm blood burst out from their wounds . Although these bolts didn't hit their vital parts, the pain brought by the wound still made them feel like their energy was fading away from their body .
The shrill cries of the silver robed young man were still lingering in the night sky . With two leaps, Wu Qi arrived in front of him . Without hesitation, he thrust the prickle held in his right hand toward the man's throat . Wu Qi's eyes shone with a cold gleam, portraying a murderous look that simply made one despair . With a low voice, he shouted, "Since I'm not dead, you'll be the one who has to face your death!"
The young man raised his head up with great terror . He was about to scream when his eyes met with Wu Qi's cruel and merciless eyes, which even seemed inhuman . His breath halted, and the jarring scream that nearly burst out from his mouth came to a sudden stop . The only thing he could do now instinctively was using both hands to support himself from the ground and crawl and roll away from Wu Qi . However, there was a tall wall behind him . Thus, after ran away for merely two steps, he had his head slammed into the wall .
Together with a faint sweet yet stinking scent, the pitch-black prickle was thrust at lightning speed, and was about to pierce the young man's body .
At the other end of the street, a delicate and lovely voice of a female suddenly rang out, "Stop!"
Wu Qi ignored the cry of that lady . He had his eyes fixed on the young man as he continued thrusting the prickle out in a ferocious manner, penetrating it deeply into the throat of the man . The young man looked at Wu Qi's face with an unbelievable expression . His body was twitching and trembling . In just the blink of an eye, dark and dirty blood oozed out from his seven apertures and all the pores on his body, before his body quickly shrunk into a small chunk of black meatball of a toddler's size .
"Young master!" All the men in black standing on top of the wall burst out with a heartbreaking scream of despair .
A few men in black jumped off the wall, the weapons in their hand emanating with a feet-long energy beam as they wielded them savagely toward Wu Qi .
Wu Qi let out a cold snort of disdain . With a light push of his feet, he dashed towards the other end of the street, where the voice of female came from just now .
Like a mad tiger, Luo Kedi roared furiously and reached these men in black . He swung his longsword and unleashed a sixty feet long, light red sword energy that flashed before vanishing into thin air . While still in midair, these men in black had their waists slashed through by the sword beam . Blood burst and splashed like a fountain, as a couple of bloody body parts fell onto the ground with a heavy slam . As they were not completely dead yet, their upper body was twitching and struggling on the ground while letting out shrill and miserable cries .
With this strike alone, Luo Kedi had fully vented all his grievances of being defeated with his entire army wiped out, and being forced by Wu Qi to submit under Lu Chengfeng . He brought the longsword, dripping with blood, over his shoulder, laughed hideously and said, "What a bunch of useless scumbags! You can't even withstand a single strike from me! Who gave you, this bunch of underdogs, the courage to attack . . . attack out young master?"
The night breeze was whistling besides Wu Qi's ears . He had his eyes fixed at the other end of the street nearly one hundred feet away where he saw a magnificent coach . Its shaft was made of pure gold and its wheels were made from pure silver . The coach was beautifully decorated with bright green satins . A dozen men clad in green mantle who looked capable and vigorous were guarding the coach . Their cold and cruel gaze were cast over at Wu Qi, who was sprinting in their way quickly .
The shout of the lady just now came from this coach .
No matter who the lady inside of the coach was, she was sure enough to have some connection with that young man . They were ambushed in the middle of the night, and it was obvious that this lady knew the silvery robe young man, who was the mastermind of the ambush . In addition to that, she was watching the entire process at the other end of the street . Without needing a confirmation, he knew this lady would definitely not be a friend .
They had just arrived at Ji City, and were immediately lured into a deadly ambush . Not only that, the mastermind even used the defensive mechanism of Ji City and some heavy crossbows in the ambush . This had made Wu Qi's mind brew and boil with a raging flame of anger . No matter who the enemy was, he had decided to kill them all . Once Lu Chengfeng inherited Yan Buji's title of nobility and government posts, there would be no one in this Great Yan Dynasty he couldn't afford to offend .
An azure glow suddenly condensed in his eyes . A howl so deep yet continuous, like the furious roar of the raging river in the middle of the night, came out from Wu Qi's mouth . He bent his body, hiding two prickles behind his back and sprinted towards the coach at an even faster speed .
Four green mantles were thrown into the sky . Four men clad in green martial suit drew their longsword, strode forward and greeted Wu Qi . One of the men burst out with a loud shout, "How dare you! Back off now, or else you'll be killed!"
Before the man's words dismissed in the air, Wu Qi pushed his feet with a stronger force, breaking a few stone slabs fitted on the street floor and darted himself forward at top speed . With just a flash, he had come beside these four men . He thrust both hands forward at an incredible speed, bringing the prickles to the face of these four young men while producing whistling noises .
The longsword shone brightly like the snow illuminated by the winter sun . The wind brought forth by them sounded hideous and deadly . Four sword beams turned into four streaks of dazzling trails, striking through the air and precisely pointed at the prickles .
