Book 6 Chapter 6 – Killing Their Way Out of I’s feet even landed on the ground, rain of arrows already shot at them Evidently other than the Emperor’s Personal Chamber Palace, the rest of the Imperial City has noiselessly fallen under the control of Yuwen Huaji and the renegades under his command

Apparently these hundreds of powerful arrows have been prepared as well; the arroere hard and accurate, perhaps even Ning Daoqi himself would have to entail strenuous effort to block them

Greatly shocked, while their bodies were still falling, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling raised their true qi with four palround their bodies rose high into the air again Not only they evaded the rain of arrows, they also ed to throw thearden next to the palace hall

With a loud shout countless renegade soldiers, wearing white band on their heads, charged out of the woods to intercept the two boys

In an instant the two boys were falling into the enemy ranks and were separated by the crowd

Outside the woods there were torches everywhere; the battle cry shook the heavens

After brandishi+ng his fists to knock out twothe strength of his wrist, he brandished the long saber, a burst of powerful saber qi passed through the edge of his blade, three men fell face up instantly and died on the spot

Seizing this opportunity, Xu Ziling fled up a tree He saw everywhere outside the woods were people running and chasing and killing each other, several palace halls already caught fire, thick sht froht of the blaze, the I hell

Two ade troops pursued hi executed chain-saber technique, blood splashed and the two round

Under the powerful sound of the arrows, Xu Ziling was unable to divert his attention to look for Kou Zhong Soaring high to the sky, he unexpectedly broke his own record by crossing a distance of seven, eight zhang, and landed on the edge of the iade soldiers pounced on hi darted forward He tried to avoid being caught in hard fighting The long saber in his hand flickered like lightning flashes, with unbelievable speed he hacked on three sabers, immediately three more enemies fall face up, they met a violent death Even he himself was so surprised that his hand could be that formidable

Two spears attacked froht, relying on his senses, and dodged the spear attack by a hair’s breath

And then he ducked forward and broke out of the siege

A harsh shout co Kou Zhong’s voice, Xu Ziling knew that Kou Zhong was in danger His heart was shaken, he could no longer maintain the ‘clear water in the well’ realade soldier, who had been hiding in the dark, was about to pierce the vital point on his flank

The instant the tip of the spear penetrated his clothes, Xu Ziling caer body twisted abruptly, his internal energy reacted, the fatal spear thrust slipped away, it only ripped his clothes and scratched a long cut that reached his back

Flicking his saber, Xu Ziling hacked the renegade soldier’s face With a ferocious roar he swept past a dozen or so eneed toward the direction of Kou Zhong’s voice

Under the flickering blaze, a group of about thirty renegade soldiers were engaging Kou Zhong in close fight, one of the noticed that for each sword attack fro had to strenuouslythe other soldiers the opportunity to attack

Xu Ziling also noticed that Kou Zhong’s entire body was covered with blood, and that his footas unsteady, so he knew that Kou Zhong would not be able to hold on ’s saber and bodyany saber technique, he sie saber sweep, like a furious billoaves of the stormy sea it shot toward Yuwen shi+ji

Yuwen shi+ji was just thinking that in two or three ’s life, and then he would turn his attention to find Xu Ziling Seeing Xu Ziling was co Kou Zhong behind, he turned around tohad already thrown the matter of life and death to the back of his mind; his heart and ! Dang!’ the two ed three ’s saber, Yuwen shi+ji knew so hot true qi was bursting out of the saber and an instant later it attacked his y’ [see Book 1 Chapter 1] seemed to be subdued by the opponent’s incomparably subtle innate true qi, so that he found it hard to block

Although his poas far inferior to Yuwen Huaji’s, but co a mouthful of true qi, he neutralized at least half of the strength of the opponent’s qi invading his body The sword in his right hand executed an exquisite, beyond co saber sideways, and continued sea’s neck; only the poas not as severe as before

Xu Ziling stayed calm without any hint of fear, his left palm stretched out flat, with incredible precision ita hairsbreadth it landed on the sword’s blade and pushed it up

A whiff of chilliness crept up in Yuwen shi+ji’s heart; now he understood why Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Wudi suffered defeat in these two boys’ hands, and why his elder brother Yuwen Huaji repeatedly ordered him not to allow these two boys escape alive froust of wind assaulted his back

Since the twohas landed behind hi’s saber would be that fast; unexpectedly without the slightest delay Xu Ziling already launched a counterstrike, swiftly hacking toward his back

Yuwen shi+ji ignored the still surging qi in his body Clenching his teeth, he swiveled around and pro!’

Yuwen shi+ji let out a roan, hiswith his body, was struck by Xu Ziling’s saber that he flew backward until his back crashed against the trunk of a large tree Injury on top of injury, he sluet it easy either, Yuwen shi+ji’s reaction force jolted his body that his meridians nearly burst and his five viscera nearly ruptured; fortunately he had sustained many injuries in the past that he already knehat to do The instant before he fell to the ground, he incited the fantastic beyond co people back fro Life’, to neutralize Yuwen shi+ji’s overpowering ‘Mysterious Ice Energy’

‘Bang!’

Xu Ziling fell heavily by Kou Zhong’s feet

A hard fight where both sides went full strength like this, victory or defeat was decided very quickly

Having experienced how for was dead In his fury, with a divine strength, which nobody knehere it caht, killing the enemy that they scattered to the east and fell down to the west

So swiftly turned around and thrust his spear The ene back The other enemies were intimidated by his power, plus Yuwen shi+ji was out of commission, hence they scattered away in panic

Kou Zhong felt the sky was spinning, the earth went around; he knew that it was because he had lost too th His condition was very close to a lantern which oil was nearly dried up Letting out a deep sigh, he believed that the two brothers would lose their lives in this place But suddenly Xu Ziling sprang up and shouted, “Get on hted, “Good kid!” he shouted Casting off the spear, he threw hihtly

Xu Ziling circulated his qi to force a mouthful of fresh blood out of his system, afterwards the pit of his stomach felt better as his qi was able to flow freely And then he leaped diagonally up onto a tree branch protruding horizontally overhead first before borrowing the bouncing force of the branch he flew tentoward the back of the roof of a two-storied building nearby

Hiswater By the ti on his back, was already at the roof ridge on the other side of the building

There was a long laughter fro near Yuwen Huaji flew over and shouted, “Where do you think you are going?”

Hearing Yuwen Huaji’s voice, Xu Ziling knew that if he caught up with them, they would not escape alive Hastily he jumped down, and landed in the courtyard of the palace complex where the palacehe ran inside the building

Chapter 6, Part 2

Yuwen Huaji did not expect Xu Ziling would dare to hide inside the building, he was still flying on the roof, looking for the two boys everywhere

Inside the building cries of grief shook the heavens, about a dozen renegade soldiers were pressing down several palacetheir beastly deeds

Xu Ziling forgot their own safety, he brandished his saber with all his ade soldiers, but those palace roup of renegade soldiers rushed in Xu Ziling quietly raised anotherKou Zhong on his back
