Chapter 143: Drawing the Swords

Looking at the triumphant Zinu、, the Vulture also smiled.

"Haha! You fell for it! Look, are they still there?"

What! Zinu was shocked!

"Nongyu~"

When Zinu looked back, she was also startled. Four figures in black came flying backward like rolling bowling balls.

"Damn it! You bastards!" The Vulture didn't understand for a moment why his subordinates were rolling over like that.

Seeing Nongyu, her mother, and her aunt walking out, Zinu quickly rushed over to protect them.

With a loud boom, Zinu quickly turned around and held her sword horizontally.

"Ugh! How could this be! Who is it! Who is it!" The Vulture, coughing up blood, fell to his knees.

Even though he had dodged the four rolling human spheres, he still couldn't escape the aftermath.

Looking at his four dead subordinates who had been crushed into soft spheres, the Vulture finally understood: he had wronged them!

"Ah! You gave me a fright for nothing!" Zinu smiled bitterly and shook her head!

Although there was a bloody scene of four dead and one crippled right ahead, Nongyu only felt an immense sense of safety.

"Are you alright, Sister?"

Zinu shook her head: "I'm fine! He truly cares so much about our Nongyu."

"Ah~ Sister!" Nongyu hurriedly lowered her head.

She didn't know what had happened, and hadn't even seen a shadow, but she knew that the Great King's people were protecting them.

Having her subordinates take the Vulture away, Zinu planned to inform Han Fei first. Nongyu, along with her mother and aunt, followed to check on her zither room.

The music was rich and the room was soundproof, so Wei Zhuang knew nothing of the events in the backyard.

Seeing Zinu return, the corners of Han Fei's mouth curled up with two smiles.

"Nongyu, her mother, and her aunt have come back to look around. From now on, Lady Hu no longer exists in this world."

Han Fei nodded; he understood Zinu's implication.

"Just now, the Vulture of the Birdmen led people to attack Nongyu and the others, and even I couldn't do anything against the Vulture in time."

Zinu sighed softly! She had overestimated her own combat prowess in actual combat.

"Are they alright?" Although Han Fei asked about Nongyu and the others, his eyes were scanning Zinu's body from top to bottom.

Zinu gave Han Fei a sideways glance before smiling:

"The Vulture lured me away, but his four subordinates were struck by a mysterious expert and flattened into balls in a single blow! In the end, the Vulture was even crippled by his own men!"

"I didn't even get to see a shadow!"

Zinu smiled bitterly! The strength of the Young Lord of the Northern Realm had exceeded all imagination!

"Mhm! As long as everyone is safe! It seems the Night Veil is running out of patience!" Han Fei sensed the gravity of the situation even more.

"Rumor has it that the Vulture was originally one of the Three Wolves with Severed Hair. Back then, they conspired with Liu Yi to plot the Fire Rain Treasure. Perhaps his attack on Nongyu and her mother wasn't ordered by Ji Wuye."

Han Fei frowned! "It should be a personal matter of his! It seems the Night Veil's true target is this young master!"

"Does this Ji Wuye really think he can cover the sky with one hand?!" Zhang Liang was also quite annoyed.

Hum~

Wei Zhuang sneered, and the others fell silent.

"For the Night Veil to dare act so recklessly, they must have something to rely on! This is getting more and more interesting."

Han Fei nodded faintly and stood up.

"Let's go and take a look at this Vulture as well."

After expending a portion of her internal energy, Crimson Lotus successfully made her way to the third floor.

The young martial arts hero was reeking of alcohol and ignored the greetings of the courtesans, while the maids in the hallway let him wander freely.

Crimson Lotus's steps were unsteady and very slow, her small nose twitching as she tried to sniff the air.

"It's him! It must be him!" That aura was becoming clearer and clearer; Crimson Lotus would never forget it even in death!

Seeing the young hero push open a room door, a maid in the hallway hurried over.

"Esteemed guest, there are already guests inside."

Crimson Lotus frowned: "Step aside! Naturally, I know there are people inside!"

Someone pushing open the door also startled Lin Shu and Concubine Yan.

"Hum!" Concubine Yan was secretly furious that someone would dare disturb them at a time like this!

[The commander is a young hero disguised as a woman.]

When the commander had been up to no good last time, Xin Ying hadn't dared to pay too much attention to Crimson Lotus's physical stats, nor had she recorded her energy fluctuations.

Seeing that the maid wouldn't leave, an irritated Crimson Lotus made her move.

Her eyes ablaze like fire, the maid stood there in a daze after meeting her gaze.

"Esteemed young hero? Zilan Pavilion can no longer receive you!"

As it happened, Zinu and the others walked out. Seeing the maid's dazed expression, Zinu grew furious as well.

It's them! Crimson Lotus was startled!

When Wei Zhuang's icy gaze swept over, Crimson Lotus hurriedly circulated her internal energy to resist.

"The Qi of Fire Spirits! Pity it's still too green!" Without even drawing his sword, Wei Zhuang stepped toward Crimson Lotus under a heavy pressure.

"Young master, she must be the Baiyue villain who set fires outside the city!" Having seen Crimson Lotus setting fires everywhere earlier, Zinu had personally investigated the matter.

Han Fei was also enraged! "Hum! Damned villain! I must trouble Brother Wei Zhuang to capture her."

Wei Zhuang smiled indifferently; he could handle this with a single hand.

"I couldn't find you today, but you actually delivered yourself to your death."

You! Crimson Lotus was both angry and regretful! Having managed to find this bastard lecher with such difficulty, how could she be willing to leave just like that.

"Cut the crap."

Spitting out two streams of fire, Crimson Lotus took the initiative to close in on Wei Zhuang.

Zinu hurriedly drew her sword—not to help, but to extinguish the flames.

"Xin Ying, open the door!" Seeing the two streams of fire, Lin Shu guessed it must be Crimson Lotus.

"Good thing I'm in disguise; this is a great chance to reintroduce myself to her."

Lin Shu smiled secretly and conspired with Xin Ying in his mind.

Facing the twin fire serpents, Wei Zhuang didn't bother to dodge. With a single wave of his hand, the fire serpents were all but extinguished.

"Hum! Rather interesting!" In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhuang dissipated Crimson Lotus's alluring charm.

With a spin, Crimson Lotus tossed away her obstructive outer robe and hairpins, revealing her crimson battle attire.

"Want to leave? Too late!" Dodging the hairpins, Wei Zhuang appeared right in front of Crimson Lotus in just a few steps.

With people blocking both ends of the hallway, Crimson Lotus had no choice but to keep retreating.

"Hah~ Still a little beauty. Maiden, don't resist anymore; you can't escape!"

Seeing the stunning Crimson Lotus, Zinu felt a pang of displeasure.

"Hum! Ninth Young Master!" Seeing Han Fei staring in a daze, Zinu became even angrier.

Straightening her expression, Han Fei stepped back two paces behind Zinu.

"This!" Wei Zhuang swallowed hard in secret! She was an absolute peerless beauty! What a pity he hadn't yet mastered his ultimate swordsmanship!

"Don't struggle. The moment I draw my sword, you will undoubtedly die." The more beautiful the woman, the more annoyed Wei Zhuang felt, because he couldn't afford to let her disturb his swordsman's heart!

"Then try it." The flames on Crimson Lotus's hands grew increasingly scorching as she prepared her ultimate technique.

"Hehe~ You're too slow!"

With a crisp clink, the flashing glare of the Shark Teeth sword made people instinctively close their eyes.

"Alas! I am so useless!" Crimson Lotus knew she couldn't block his sword strike.

The moment Lin Shu walked out the door, he was pierced by the blinding glare, and for the first time, he felt the chill of Shark Teeth.

"Hum~ Wei Zhuang!"

Just as Wei Zhuang raised his sword, his chest suddenly trembled, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and even the Shark Teeth sword dimmed.

"It's him! It's him!" Crimson Lotus confirmed she hadn't remembered wrong—it was precisely this aura!

Who? Not only was Wei Zhuang startled and suspicious, but Zinu also had to tense up.

Even the strongest Wei Zhuang had been subdued; the experts of their family were not currently present in Zilan Pavilion!

"Alas! Xin Ying, you hit a bit too hard!"

[Commander, what did you say?] Xin Ying had just prepared to act, but since Wei Zhuang had stopped, she hadn't gotten the chance.

Busy pretending to be cool, Lin Shu ignored whatever Xin Ying was saying.

Suppressing a smile, Lin Shu strode out the door and rebuked angrily:

"Hum! Who dares to draw a sword on this young master?"

Damn it! It really was him! Although his outfit was different, Wei Zhuang already recognized him!

How could Zinu ever forget that voice, that tone, and that obnoxious look!

"Young Master Lin, this is a misunderstanding! I didn't expect you to be here as well!"

Alas! Smiling bitterly and shaking his head, Han Fei stepped forward to pay his respects:

"Young Master Lin must be careful; she is a vicious Baiyue villain! Over two thousand people have been killed or injured outside the city these past few days!"

Wei Zhuang obediently sheathed his sword. The blow from just now made him realize he couldn't possibly block a single strike from this man.

He didn't blame Lin Shu! To draw a sword and act cool in front of a Grandmaster meant he could only blame his own bad luck! Young Master Lin only inflicting a minor injury on him was already an act of mercy!
