Chapter 112 Flexible Body
When they came to the inn they decided to stay in for the night before departing to the town near the Spiritual Land belonging to Supreme Master Pavilion, Wu Long went to cultivate the collected Extreme Yin Qi, and Shen Min went to practice control over her Yin Qi.
In the morning, Shen Min was a naive girl again with no recollection of what happened between them in the restaurant. But she still felt closer to Wu Long, while not completely sure why, since there was a subtle influence of her real self.
They rode in a carriage again. But not far from the city the carriage suddenly stopped. Shen Min was surprised, but Wu Long simply smiled and got out of the carriage.
"M-mister, these people…"
The carriage driver tried to explain the situation while shaking from fear but Wu Long simply raised his hand, signaling to him that everything was fine.
The road ahead was blocked by around thirty or forty people. And there were more in the back, as well as to the sides.
Most of them looked like regular hoodlums, but there was a group of men in cloaks with bamboo hats on that looked a little more neat, standing in an isolated way behind the bandits blocking the way forward. Their faces were covered by the bamboo hats and they were hiding their aura. But Wu Long saw that four of them were in the Revolving Qi Realm, and one of them was in the Foundation Building Realm.
'Hmm, they're starting to get annoyed with me huh'
Wu Long looked at the group with a smile. The death of the princess's teacher was bound to get the people behind the scenes, or at least their lackeys rattled enough to cause them to react in one way or another. Though he was surprised to see that there were no Bahshi Assassination Group people, as they were the most suited people for these kinds of jobs.
Shen Min went outside and her eyes slightly widened at the scene.
"There's nothing to be surprised about, the radical faction sends their regards"
Wu Long said to her and she instantly was covered in shivers, but then gradually they calmed down as one of her eyes changed colors.
"Can you handle them?"
She asked in a completely calm voice.
"Heh, I am going to lay waste to close to 100 000 people in the Supreme Master Pavilion, do you really think this bunch will stop me?"
"They have a Foundation Building Expert… and he seems strong"
She replied as he was surprised that she was able to see through the cultivation of the people in cloaks.
"Hmm, he may be a bit more decent than common cultivators here but still not a problem"
He said, as being in Qi Condensation Realm he would now not fear even Core Formation Realm experts. His reserves of Spiritual Qi were now also vast and deep, giving him ample room to display more of his techniques.
According to Wu Long's estimation, this Foundation Building Realm expert was a little closer to the Bahshi sub-branch leader he almost clashed against a month ago than common cultivators of this world, though he did not seem to reach his level.
It meant that this was probably one of the so-called 'enforcers'. Any decent scheme included a mastermind that was hidden, and then they would have their lackeys, and then enforcers. The enforcers made sure the plan of the mastermind stayed on track while being in the open, they were mostly people hired by the lackeys of the mastermind without having the understanding of the whole picture of the plan, being given simpler tasks.
"Do you need help with the rest?"
"I have no interest in them, so if you want them I can pass them to you"
As Shen Min asked, Wu Long shrugged, as he was only focused on the five 'enforcers', the rest being regular bandits they seem to have hired to get the job done. He was also a little interested in her fighting style, as she managed to kill even a royal who was bound to have been protected by pretty powerful bodyguards.
She nodded, and two circular weapons appeared in her hands. He noticed that she used chakrams the last time when he forced her out, but he was really anticipating the show now.
A sword appeared in his hand, one of the inheritances from her seniors. She noticed the sword and only made a "hmph" as the real her did not hold any goodwill towards those people.
He made a step, and launched to the group in front, while she went in another direction.
The five he was aiming at noticed that he was targeting them and disdainful expressions appeared under their bamboo hats. One of them signaled the bandits, and they charged in an unorderly crowd toward him.
Wu Long went through this crowd like a sharp knife through tofu, with speed and precision as when he passed them there were bloody flowers blooming into the air behind him almost simultaneously. His sword moved smoothly in continuous motion, as he went through them with basically one continuous strike that never stopped, only turned and rotated.
The smiles on the five froze as they did not expect a Qi Condensation Realm brat to be able to accomplish such a feat with this ease. Not to mention there were seven Qi Manifestation mercenaries among the crowd he went through.
The four Revolving Qi Realm bamboo hats went forward in an orderly fashion and it could be seen that they have fought side to side for many years by their cooperation. But Wu Long still went in a straight line, as the snowy road suddenly became silent and a little discolored. All five of them felt a sharp sword point between their eyebrows and Wu Long went past the four as he gracefully moved his sword and Sword Qi swiveled around him in elegant arcs for a moment.
Wu Long stopped in front of their leader as four bamboo hats went into the air along with the heads of their owners and flowers of blood spraying into the surroundings. The Sword Qi they have released and their swords were cleanly cut alongside their necks.
The eyes of the leader widened, as he could never expect this outcome in his wildest dreams.
"You are going against people you cannot handle… do you-..."
He started talking but Wu Long did not feel like talking to a dead person, as there was no need for him to learn about who sent him for now that he did not plan to meddle with them. He could learn all that he needed when he was actually about to do something to people behind the scenes.
His sword qi went forth and clashed with a powerful Spiritual Sword Art of the leader of the bamboo hats. Wu Long went to the side as they exchanged seven strikes, at the end of which Wu Long stopped not far behind the leader, waved his sword and slowly started sheathing it.
"...Y-You…wi-ghuk…reg-....."
The leader of the bamboo hats tried to talk but this further accelerated the separation of his neck and he fell down, making another bloody flower bloom on the snow.
"Regret, huh? I had a few of those. I got a gift which helped me this time, but I still try to avoid those so I will take your kind reminder"
Wu Long said, as he looked to the other side, where Shen Min was massacring the bandits. Her chakrams were flying around one by one, as she manipulated their trajectories with a string made of Spiritual Qi. She always held one in the hand for close combat while the other traveled not far, causing an absolute death circle around her with this combination.
Her robes gave her maximum freedom of movement and thus were quite tight fitting, as her fighting style was of agile and elastic movement. He looked at her flexible body, moving in a graceful way, and inwardly thanked her for the feast for his eyes.
One particular movement where she arched her back and moved her chakram behind her in circular motion, made her breasts bounce upward as they were thrust up. Another one where she stood on a shoulder of a bandit with one foot and was cutting another one with her chakram, made her bend almost in half, as her round and juicy butt could be seen as an alluring curve.
They long since started to falter as their main force was now dead and she was reaping their lives like cabbages, so once there were only seven of them, one started running and the rest followed. Her flying chakram followed, raising seven heads into the air in a swiveling trajectory.
Under the terrified eyes of the carriage driver, the 'nice couple' he thought he was transporting went back into the carriage absolutely calm, as he inwardly cursed himself for taking a little more for the trip than the usual rate when Wu Long hired him.
Wu Long looked at her, and she looked at him with a slight confident smile, as she may be not that impressive in front of him, but she never considered herself weak.
"Are you ready for your second lesson?"
"Now?"
He asked, and she raised her eyebrows.
"Why waste this time, you are awake, and we have nothing to do"
He replied with a smile, and after a few moments of looking at him, she slowly nodded.
