C248

The eyes of Shui Qinan, Zhu Er and Hua Luo met each other, and the three of them kept quiet as they continued to stroll on the street. The three of them gradually walked out of the group and into a remote alley. Zhu Er and Hua Luo vigilantly stood beside Shui Qinan as they looked around.

"The people behind, come out!" Shui Qinan stopped, she did not turn around and coldly said.

Seeing that no one came out, Zhu Er laughed in her heart: "How dare you follow me, you coward!"

Shui Qinan was on guard, she did not know what these people were trying to do, there were so many of them who had yet to make a move, and should be because they did not want to alarm the big figures in the imperial city, and who exactly was the one who was looking for her, Bi Chi or the Xu who was just here? Or was there someone else who wanted her life? Shui Qinan couldn't help but want to laugh. She had only come to the capital a short while ago and she had already offended so many people!

However, she had never regretted it. None of these people were worth befriending. Shui Qinan turned around, waved her sleeve, set up a barrier around the alleyway and laughed coldly: "Truly, a turtledove hiding its head," Shui Qinan ferociously shot a few silver needles, and from the few spots, a dozen black clothed men suddenly appeared.

Shui Qinan said calmly: "You really think highly of me. Tell me, who sent you here?"

"There's no need for a dead person to know so much. Attack!" One of the leaders among the dozen or so men in black said coldly.

Hua Luo seemed to have heard something funny and laughed very happily. She said softly: "Hehe, you really don't know how to write the word death!"

"Sis, there seems to be another person behind them." Zhu Er whispered to Shui Qinan. Shui Qinan had long felt the man's Qi, but he did not reveal himself, so he was unsure of what the man was scheming.

"Reckless fool!" "Let's go." As the man gave the order, a dozen or so black-clothed men charged towards Shui Qinan and the other two in a well-trained manner. Zhu Er and Hua Luo looked at each other and consciously guarded their respective sides.

With a palm, Shui Qinan pushed the incoming man back. She felt the Qi of spiritual energy behind her quickly flip over the head of the man behind her and quickly insert a silver needle into her Spirit Point. The man reacted quickly and rolled awkwardly on the ground to avoid the silver needles.

Shui Qinan had to fight against ten people by herself. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed that Zhu Er and Hua Luo were fighting against three or four people each.

Suddenly, the ten black clothed men attacked Shui Qinan who was in the middle of the encirclement at the same time. Shui Qinan tapped her feet and jumped lightly into the air above them, Shui Qinan's eyes fiercely stared at the dark purple light beneath her feet and said, "Evil Charm Art, you guys are not people of Holy Sky Continent, since you do not say who sent you here, then I will not be courteous."

Shui Qinan turned over and steadily landed on the ground, her hand condensing spirit energy. She started chanting in her mind and suddenly, Zhu Er turned into a huge Vermillion Bird and stood guard in front of Shui Qinan, facing the black clothed men, she angrily shouted out pressure, and Hua Luo also retreated back to Shui Qinan's side.

Zhu Er spat out one enormous fireball after another. The black-clothed man was caught off guard by the fireball and rolled on the ground, attempting to extinguish the flames on her body.

But Zhu Er was a Vermillion Bird, how could his main body's fire be extinguished that easily? Not long after that, the few black-clothed men who were attacked by the fireballs laid on the ground motionlessly. The leading black clothed man shot a sword aura at Zhu Er. The leading black clothed man's strength was the same as Shui Qinan, but Zhu Er was actually unable to avoid the sword beam and received it.

Seeing that, Hua Luo waved his sleeves lightly, and a strange fragrance came out. A few weaker black-clothed men suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, they were all paying attention to the battle between their boss and the fire bird, they never expected that this young lady would use such a tyrannical poison.

The black clothed man quickly turned around and looked at Hua Luo with his sharp eyes. He slashed his sword at her and with a leap, Hua Luo retreated to Shui Qinan's side.

The black-robed men did not dare to move because of the strange fragrance that Hua Luo was giving off, and also because the Vermillion Bird's fiery flames could not get close to Shui Qinan, the leading man said, "Go, if you fail the mission, the consequences are something you all know."

Is that so? "Then I'll send you to your deaths right now!" Shui Qiannan's eyes were as cold as snow. She slowly walked into the room, and with every step she took, a spell appeared beneath her feet. It was like a snowflake. Shui Qiannan stretched out his right hand and chanted an incantation nonstop. White rings of light appeared around his wrist, and with a "go", the rings of light shot out from his right hand.

Shui Qinan coldly said, "Scatter!" and the curse disappeared along with the black clothed man.

"Pfft!" Shui Qinan spat out a mouthful of blood. She knelt down on one leg and covered her chest with her right hand. It was also because she had learnt a lot of incantations from Gong Ze that caused these people to retreat, it was just that she was also injured because of this.

These people were not people from the Holy Sky Continent, and their killing intent towards her was so obvious.

"Master!" A streak of red light rushed to Shui Qinan's side, causing Zhu Er to yell out anxiously. This was the first time she had seen her master injured since finding him.

Hua Luo raised his hand and transferred the spirit force into Shui Qinan's body. Her true form was a flower, made of white jade, with healing effects.

After a while, Hua Luo retracted his hands and asked worriedly: "Master, are you better now?"

Shui Qinan nodded, the appearance of these people made her deeply realize that there were people that could pose a threat to her, could it be that these people were people from that continent? Although she had entered the Crimson Nimbus Guild and was almost invincible within the Holy Sky Continent, that mainland practitioner was already at the Crimson Nimbus Guild. Looks like she still had to speed up her cultivation.

It was just that she had entered a bottleneck with her fire element and had not moved forward. Perhaps it was due to her lack of a 'Heavenly Flame'. As for the Wood Element, she was still unable to release a power equal to her own. Shui Qinan's face darkened when she thought of this.

"Recover your Nangong Residence." Shui Qinan stood up and whispered.

Hua Luo and Zhu Er looked at each other. They knew how powerful their opponent was today, they could only send away those assassins after allowing their master to cast an incantation. But in the end, it was still inappropriate to use the incantation. With the dozen or so assassins today, he still had some tricks up his sleeve. As for that powerful black-clothed man, he really did disappear. Zhu Er covered her right arm. Just now, she could not even dodge the sword light, if she was not an Ancient Divine Beast, her arm would have been crippled.

"It's all because Zhu Er is useless and unable to protect Master." Zhu Er said as she knelt down in guilt. Could it be that those people were their people? Did they discover the existence of their master? Do I have to destroy my master before he wakes up?! A hint of sharpness flashed past Zhu Er's eyes, it was just that Shui Qinan was pondering and did not notice anything.
