Chapter 109: A Storm is Brewing (5)
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
"Intruders of Lin Palace, shall DIE!" The decade of repression withheld within Jun Qing burst forth at that moment into a mesmerising dance with his blade, a weaving trail of moonlight reflecting off the sword like liquid silver, weaving through the shadowed figures in a flash!
Standing as though rooted to the ground, the shadows had no time to react!
They stood in blank astonishment, looking at Jun Qing.
Did the cripple who was sitting in the wheelchair, just kill a score of his enemies in a flash? That swift and unerringly precise swordplay chilled them to their bones.
Jun Qing was not crippled! He was faster than ever!
They could only watch on in dismay, as their comrades were killed one by one, as chilling fear crept into their hearts.
"White Owl!" Jun Qing summoned under his breath, and blinding brilliance burst forth from the ring on his finger. A large white owl manifested within the light, and with a screech, swooped into the enemies!
The Bone Corroding White Owl! Jun Qing's contractual spirit, of the highest seventh level of spiritual power, had spread fear in battle throughout the lands!
For ten years….. Jun Qing had hidden the spirit from people, and most have forgotten the existence of the Bone Corroding White Owl!
With its massive wingspan of over three metres, it kicked up a bloody whirlwind among the enemies, in the eye of the storm!
"Damn it! Jun Qing's legs! How can Jun Qing move like this? What is happening!?" The shadowed figures crowed as they were pushed back by the ferocious onslaught of blindingly fast swordplay by Jun Qing and the savage ferocity from the massive beast of an owl. With less than half their numbers remaining, they fled in retreat.
"Arghhhhh!!" The first of the retreating enemies screamed, and the dark clothed group turned to the sound of terror.
A magnificent black beast stood with a dark clothed figure's neck held mangled within its massive jaws, bright red blood ran freely, as it splattered all over the ground.
Crack.
The beast broke the neck.
"None of you will leave here alive tonight." Perched upon the back of the beast, a beautiful youthful girl declared indifferently to the panic stricken group of dark clothed men, staring down at them with cold merciless eyes.
The black beast sensed the blood thirstiness emanating from its mistress, and pounced upon the enemy.
With blindingly fast Jun Qing at their backs, the vicious Bone Corroding White Owl above, and the ferocious black beast blocking their retreat, the group of men in black fell in a symphony of screams. Even at the point of death, they did not know what hit them.
The Lin Palace was on its decline, how are they still so strong?
Nearly a hundred men in black were slaughtered in a blink of an eye, the pungent smell of blood hung heavily, the ground littered with bodies, turning the once quiet and tranquil backyard into a scene from hell, a ghastly sight to behold.
"Wu Xie! Are you alright?!" Having killed all the enemies, Jun Qing looked inquiringly at his niece perched atop the massive beast, eyes alight with wonder.
The white owl fluttered down, hooked claws on a corpse, and tilted its head, observing Jun Wu Xie's mount.
"I'm fine, Uncle. Are you hurt?" Jun Wu Xie asked.
"It will take more than these trash to injure me, I must say I feel slighted." Jun Qing gestured at the beast under Jun Wu Xie, eyes bright with fascination, and asked :"And, this is…..?"
The black beast looked very much like a panther, but upon closer inspection, it was bigger, more bulky and muscular, and its ears were pointed, unlike the rounded ones of a panther.
"Meow" A gentle meow sounded from the imposing black beast with its slavering fanged jaws.
Jun Qing was dumbstruck in astonishment.
This is Little Black, you've seen him." Jun Wu Xie explained.
"...." Looking back at the times when Jun Wu Xie had been carrying the tiny little black cat in her arms, Jun Qing was unable to believe the massive beast that stood in front of him and that tiny kitty were one and the same.

"This is your spirit?" Jun Qing, amazed.
"Yes." Jun Wu Xie was unable to explain how little black cat came about, and with Little Lotus still not matured in the pond, she nodded haphazardly.
"Your spiritual powers have awoken?" Jun Qing asked in surprise.
"Not too long ago, a little late though." Jun Wu Xie replied.
Jun Qing was ecstatic, Jun Xian and him had thought Jun Wu Xie was born with no affinity with the spirits. Alas, the heavens still blessed the Jun Family!
As Jun Qing and Jun Wu Xie was talking, a blood soaked Uncle Fu rushed in with the fifteen Rui Lin Army soldiers. Seeing his lord and young miss fine, he dropped on one knee, sword at his side.
"My tardiness has made you suffer, my Lord and Young Miss!"
"It's all right, all of you please rise." Jun Qing assured them. The bulk of the enemies charged the front yard, over a hundred of them. These sixteen men were vastly outnumbered, and their clothes were now in tatters, the blood on them whether from the enemies or from the wounds they carry, was indistinguishable.
Jun Wu Xie reached into her robes and threw two white porcelain bottles to Uncle Fu.
"Taken orally and applied externally."
Uncle Fu held the two bottles in his hands, and looked at Jun Wu Xie gratefully.
"Thank you Young Miss! If it was not for the Young Master's help, we might have been further delayed."
Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow in thought. Jun Wu Yao was quick and nimble in the battle, but at that moment he was nowhere to be seen.
"Tonight has shown us someone is plotting against our Lin Palace. We managed to handle them here, but father was compelled to go out of the city. Although he brought some guards with him, it is obvious that the enemy are well prepared." Jun Qing's expression grew grim, the attack on Lin Palace tonight was a thoroughly planned out one, if not for the false weakened front that Lin Palace had put up, the enemy might have succeeded.
Three unexpected elements threw the enemy off.
They did not expect that Jun Qing could regain the use of his legs, Jun Wu Xie's spirit's sudden appearance blew up in their faces, and Jun Wu Yao, with god slaying prowess…..
The series of surprises allowed the Lin Palace to overcome the overwhelming odds the enemy threw at them, and blew the well planned ruse to smithereens.
But, Jun Xian was still in danger!
"Locate Lin Wang immediately!" Jun Qing ordered.
The Lin Palace was awash in a sea of red, and before the guards were able to move out, someone came before the gates.
Li Ran, the general who just a while ago, left from these very same gates, came in pale and gaunt, bearing grave news.
Jun Xian while in pursuit of Lin Yue Yang, met with an incident, the guards were all killed, and Jun Xian himself had disappeared.
Hearing the news, Jun Qing was barely able to control his rage, his eyes tore into Li Ran, suppressing a strong compulsion to shred him to pieces.
Jun Wu Xie stared coldly at the news, stood up resolutely and hastened out the gates of Lin Palace.
"Wu Xie!" Jun Qing looked at Jun Wu Xie quizzically.
Jun Wu Xie walked on till she stepped out past the gates, she reached within her robes and pulled out a small embroidered bag that contained the Soaring Cloud Signals.
A beam of red light shot high into the night sky above Lin Palace, and exploded into a brilliant burst of fire with a ear splitting roar, obliterated the darkness completely and shattered the quiet of night!
Li Ran, who witnessed all this, fell back in shock, sitting on the ground, looking at Jun Wu Xie, teeth chattering.
With the Soaring Cloud Signal fired, the entire Rui Lin Army comes!
What was the Jun Family Missy thinking!?
"Uncle, I have to find Grandfather." Jun Wu Xie turned her head, backlit by the signal's flare, it was seen, the cold chilly eyes had been lit aflame.
