Chapter 38 - 38. Danger II

Third person POV

The moment they rose their weapon, their vision darken. The last thing they saw was a girl with a mask standing on her bed. 6 heads fell from their neck and rolled to the floor. Hong er casually looked at those heads and the blood splattering on the floor. She summoned her sword and disappear.

Hong er Pov

I was pretending that I was sleeping, I could feel their aura and presence. Is this the well known first rate assassin? Just like what father said, they are nothing to us. I moved my finger under the blanket as they got closer to me. I used wind magic and when I felt like they were going to attack me, I launched the wind magic that I had put on their neck before. I clenched my fist and all of their head slashed. I got out from my blanket and stood up from my bed. Ahh~ I dirtied the floor with their blood.

There were still many of them roaming around, gotta clean this place up. I summoned my sword and activated my 6th sense. I jumped on the roof and observed them with my 6th sense. Uhm, I can handle this alone. I used wind magic to jump down from the roof to my bedroom's front door. There were about 10 assassins in front of the door.

The moment my toe touched the ground, I spun my body across them and slashed their head in one go. I moved my left hand and used water magic to prevent their body and head to fall to the ground. The water slowly put their body to the ground and disappeared.

I slowly walked to the side of my courtyard, there were 6 assassins who watched over the patrolling guards. I stood on a tree behind them, I store back my sword and summon my bow. I made 3 arrows with wind magic and shot the three of them. I didn't waste any time, as soon as I released the arrows, I immediately made 3 more arrows and shot the other three assassins. There was a small hole on their head, I used water magic again to put their body down. I purposely made the wind arrows disappear as soon as they shoot across their head.

I went to the other side of my courtyard. I used qinggong and saw 8 assassins standing right there. It seemed like they noticed my presence, I ran at full speed and summoned my sword again. Before they could unsheathe their sword, I slashed their head with my sword. My mask was splattered with their blood.

I did the same to the assassins who were hiding behind my courtyard, they were about to flee as they noticed there was no sign of their comrades. But I shot them with my arrows, they fell, lifeless, to the ground.

Now, the one that was hiding in the forest. As the forest is wide and hard to kill one by one, I decided to kill all of them in one go, but it will cost much more Qi than the previous attacks. I went into the forest and squatted. I touched the ground and closed my eyes, I activated my inner sight. I saw more than 15 people's aura all around the forest. I removed my hands from the ground, I couldn't feel their movement after I removed my hand from the ground but I can still see their aura.

I made a few hand gestures and a bunch of magic circles appeared above the forest. They noticed the magic circles that appeared above them, their aura started to move around. I raised my hand and took a deep breath, I slammed my hand down to the ground. Ice spears and water spears came out from the magic circle and pierced their heart. The ground below them opened and swallowed them.

I breathed out and inactivated my inner sight, I opened my eyes and stood up. I went back to my courtyard and saw many people in there. Father and mother stood in the front row, they were wearing their armor and their mask. Behind them were the elite forces, there were 70 of them and they wore a mask too.

I walked towards father and mother, they didn't move for a while. Father was the first one to break the silence.

Xu Tingfeng: " Hong er, you did well but there are still many things that you have to learn."

Hong er: " Thank you father."

Xu Tingfeng: " How many of them?"

Hong er: " About fifty."

Xu Tingfeng: " Meiyun, Huayun."

Father called out their name, they appeared behind me. Father had known their identities, he made them my bodyguards and personal maids at the same time.

Meiyun & Huayun: " Yes, My Lord."

Xu Tingfeng: " Do you who they are?"

Huayun: " Yes, they were from our previous guild."

Xu Tingfeng: " Hoo~, so they are the ones who tried to kill you two?"

Meiyun: " Yes, My Lord."

Xu Tingfeng: " Then do you want to join our fun tonight?"

Meiyun & Huayun: " With pleasure."

They kneeled on one knee. Then father looked at me.

Xu Tingfeng: " Do you want to join too?"

Hong er: " Yes, father."

Xu Tingfeng: " Change your clothes and follow us."

Hong er: " Understood."

I changed my covered with blood white gown. Father tested my abilities by letting me fight all of the assassins, but he was worried about me. He had been hiding in the dark together with mother and the elite forces. Father made the new recruited elite forces to watch me fight so they could learn. Hhmm, killing two birds with one stone.
