Chapter 1518: Chapter 675: Da Liang (Part 2)
This momentary pause...
A figure suddenly charged forward!
Quick!
So quick!
The surrounding men in black felt their vision blur.
BAM!!!
The sound of clashing metal rang out from the captain’s side!
Invisible waves seemed to ripple out, with powerful blasts of air causing the nearby refugees to stumble, tumbling and crawling to escape.
The men in black quickly and skillfully surrounded, coordinating with the captain to form a killing formation!
Such a rapid and responsive reaction, such swift tactical adjustment, caused Song Zhenrong, who hurriedly arrived, to feel a sinking feeling.
But upon seeing the heap of corpses sprawled out on the ground ahead, his anger surged uncontrollably.
"Die!!"
He shouted, putting all his strength into it, but instead, he was suddenly struck back by a strange force from his opponent!
"Good!"
"The captain is mighty!"
"As expected of a man of Jin Mei’s level, truly extraordinary!"
Originally, seeing Song Zhenrong’s aggressive approach, a few men in black were secretly worried.
Now witnessing this, they all relaxed.
The intruder is not strong!
In stark contrast to the attitude of the men in black, Lin Liang’s side...
Upon seeing Song Zhenrong appear, Lin Liang was almost too excited to scream.
Because the men in black were pursuing too closely, too nearly!
Although they hadn’t spotted her, they had killed their way close to her hiding spot.
One could say that if Song Zhenrong had been a few seconds later, the men in black would have found her!
But just as this joy swelled for a few seconds, immense disappointment overwhelmed her.
Because Song Zhenrong was too weak.
Far from as powerful as she had imagined.
At first, he fought back and forth with the men in black, but soon he began to fall behind, retreating step by step.
Is this the level of someone leading so many refugees on a march??
Lin Liang felt disappointed, incredibly disappointed.
And after disappointment came facing the most realistic problem.
The clash between him and the men in black halted their killing spree, allowing the surrounding refugees a chance to breathe and fled the zone of conflict.
And Lin Liang could only lower her head and flee with the refugees.
"If that guy’s strength were greater, and could hold the scene, I wouldn’t be this embarrassed, I could reveal my identity sooner..."
Just as Lin Liang thought of this, she suddenly collided with a bang.
As if hitting someone then crashing into a wall, stopping her in her tracks.
Lin Liang thought a refugee ahead had stopped for no reason, and to avoid drawing attention, she kept her head down to sidestep, but...
Pop!
Her wrist got grabbed firmly, as if caught by iron shackles.
Feeling the grip tighten rapidly around her wrist, seemingly ready to crush it on the spot, Lin Liang’s face changed as she looked at the person in front.
"What, what are you doing?"
She feigned innocence, her eyes watering, pitiful and alluring.
That already good-looking appearance was utilized to the fullest at this moment.
However...
Crunch!
The smiling youth in front suddenly increased the pressure with no warning.
Like a lightning shot, without time to react, leaving her completely caught off guard.
The forward part of her wrist drooped unnaturally on the spot.
Broken, broken?!
The intense pain that followed transmitted from the wrist to her brain as if delayed.
The piercing pain made Lin Liang scream out loud.
"Ahhhh! Ahhhh!! My hand!!!"
It’s broken; the wrist bones crushed, making the palm hang unnaturally like it lost its support.
Unquestionably, this was a severe fracture.
Once she truly realized what happened to her body, Lin Liang was on the verge of madness from the pain.
But every violent motion only pulled at her fractured wrist more; the more she moved, the greater the pain.
Waves of intense agony quickly made her settle down.
While her body no longer moved, her venomous gaze locked onto the youth before her.
Simultaneously, the men in black attacking Song Zhenrong split seven or eight men towards her swiftly.
"The target’s over there!"
"Go kill her!"
"We can’t let her run away again!"
The black-clad assassins closed in, while Lin Liang forced herself to endure the pain and cleverly hid behind the young man.
Despite the cold sweat on her aching forehead, she still let out a loud voice.
"Then it’s settled! Kill them, and I’ll marry you! The city of Da Liang will be yours!"
The black-clad assassins: !!!
It was obvious that after Lin Liang spoke, the murderous intent of those assassins surged, their expressions turning grim, surrounding Lin Liang and the young man completely.
But the young man seemed to be contemplating something.
"The city of Da Liang..."
He muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, from the refugee convoy behind, a group was breaking away and rushing toward them.
"Mr. Diao! Captain Song!"
"Sir, we’re here!"
"Who are you people?! Why are you attacking us?!"
The presence of these people was steady; though not as formidable as the black-clad assassins, they were obviously in a different league compared to the refugees, clearly trained in martial arts.
And they seemed disciplined; even as they charged forward, it was not a reckless assault but rather each maintaining a certain distance, forming some sort of tactical linkage, keeping each other in consideration, truly well-drilled.
"There is hope!"
Lin Liang’s face lit up with joy!
Given the current situation, with enemies on both sides, the more chaotic it became, the better for her!
This batch of fighters was tolerably strong; joining the battle, to brawl with Jin Mei’s assassins could just stir up the chaos further, allowing her a chance to escape in the confusion!
As Lin Liang was considering this, she saw the young man raising his arm.
"Stand down."
Just two words.
These two simple, calm words immediately halted the team preparing to charge in for support.
They appeared hesitant, glancing at each other, but no one took another step forward.
Lin Liang’s heart sank abruptly.
Could it be that he is...
Buzz!!!
Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted.
Light.
Lin Liang saw only a flash of sword light.
Her head went cold, as if struck by a fierce gust!
The next moment.
Swish——
Five or six masked heads appeared in her line of sight.
In an instant, just a fleeting instant, incomprehensible to Lin Liang, everything had come to an end.
Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud.
The thudding sound of heads hitting the ground echoed in succession.
The ruthlessness still evident in the exposed eyes on their faces, just about to exert force desperately, was over before it began.
The speed of the sword, reaching such a degree, probably meant that even in death, the Jin Mei assassins felt nothing.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Headless bodies started to spray blood, then collapsed one by one with a heavy thud.
"...How... can it be... so strong?!"
Lin Liang’s eyes widened, her mind blank.
So it turns out, the ones struggling in the front were not the protectors of this team.
This guy... this figure outwardly like a young man, was in fact the strongest in this team! The protector!
"Sir!"
Thud!
Despite the severe pain, with sweat on her forehead, Lin Liang directly knelt down.
It’s undeniable, Lin Liang really had talent in this aspect.
Even though her wrist was being tugged, nearly unconscious from the pain, she could still endure it! Clearly, she’s someone capable of accomplishing great things!
"Sir, I am the daughter of the Lin Family of Da Liang city! Only because of a villain’s scheme was I pursued relentlessly to this point! If you could lend me a helping hand, assisting me in escaping this calamity, once I return to Da Liang city, I would devote myself to you, and Da Liang city would henceforth be yours!"
Weighing pros and cons, laying out her background, seeking a negotiation standpoint.
Lin Liang could be said to have done it quite well.
But unfortunately, she encountered Fang Yu.
Without any change in expression, Fang Yu glanced towards the black-clad leader who had stopped aggressively fighting and was in a stalemate, yet constantly casting glances over.
He raised his arm.
White bone covered it, forming a bone blade.
Slash!
Lin Liang’s expression changed.
Hiss!!!
Her already broken wrist, along with her arm, was severed on the spot!
