Chapter 18: First Glimpse of the Honed Edge!
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
"ROAR!"
The response she heard had not come from Ling Mo Han but an ear splitting roar of rage from the ferocious beast before her eyes.
The moment the fierce roar sounded, the massive and ferocious beasts had immediately coiled up and pounced towards the two of them, their wide jaws salivating heavily, exposing long fangs that gleamed, thirsting for blood, a sight that made people shiver in fright.
"Up the tree!" Ling Mo Han's icy gaze swept around, as he hollered in a deep voice.
Upon hearing his call to climb the trees, a wide smile came onto Feng Jiu's face. She had said that the uncle was a nice man!
"Uncle, you be careful yourself too." She slipped quickly up a huge tree beside her nimbly and hugged a wide branch to look down at the scene below, eager to see what kind of moves the uncle would be able to throw out.
But when she spied out of the corner of her eyes from her high vantage point the young man hidden behind them holding up a bow aimed right at the uncle below her, a cold coming glint immediately flashed in her eyes. Her mind raced as she saw one of the ferocious beast ramming itself into the big tree she was on. She released the arm hugging the branch and timed herself to fall off the tree at the same moment of impact from the beast's ramming.
"AHHHH!"
Engaged with more than ten of the ferocious beasts, Ling Mo Han instinctively turned his head back to look and his face darkened slightly. [The troublesome one!] He was about to summon his powers to catch her when he saw her wink at him. Upon seeing that, his eyebrows creased together as he swung his sword at the ferocious beast charging in at him.
At the same moment, after Feng Jiu fell to the ground, she immediately picked up her legs and ran screaming: "Argh! Help!"
Her movements were queer. Obviously not possessing a sliver of mystical aura as she ran around haphazardly among the ferocious beasts, she had somehow avoided being hit. After running a circle around them, she did not run to hide behind Ling Mo Han but ended up running back the way they had come.
"Help me….."
The ten over men hidden behind a clump of trees not too far away saw Feng Jiu running in their direction, with her being chased by seven or eight of those ferocious beasts, and their faces suddenly paled.
"Damn it!"
The young man cursed softly. He hadn't been able to get a good aim with the pulled back bow in his hand due to the erratic movements of the black robed figure in front of him and when he saw the ferocious beasts running towards them, he knew his assassination attempt had flopped, Hence, he quickly shifted the bow slightly to train his aim directly at the little beggar and released it.
"Ready yourselves for battle!" The middle aged man shouted out and his mystical aura flared out as he whipped out the short sword at his hip.
When she saw the young man release his arrow at her, the corners of Feng Jiu's mouth curled up like hooks, turning into a strange smile that looked decidedly sinister.
Once bitten twice shy, against people who had repeatedly tried to take her life, she would however not repeatedly spare them theirs.
Furthermore, her hands were beginning to itch. She would use this group of people to test her mettle in this world!
Her targets determined, her murderous killer instinct swarmed out, a chilling aura filled with a conqueror's overwhelming presence flared. Just by the change in her eyes and the aura emanating from her being, it had caused the middle aged man, their leader, to suddenly find his heart awashed in illogical fear, shuddering in absolute terror!
He had come across all kinds of people throughout his life, and he was acutely aware that the little beggar at this moment was a completely different person from before. His sudden dominating conqueror's presence, that chilling murderous aura, and that exhilarating air oozing with confidence within those eyes, was enough to make him tremble in fear.
But, this person possessed not a shard of mystical power. He believed that no matter how strong an aura the little beggar was able to push out, there was no way the little beggar can overpower him in battle!
Ling Mo Han's gaze fell into the little beggar girl as well, and his deep eyes flashed a bright glint.
As expected, she wasn't such a harmless and simple girl as she portrayed herself to be. But thinking about it made him realised that he should have noticed the little beggar wasn't an ordinary person. What kind of an ordinary girl would dare to enter the Nine Entrapment Woods alone?
However, without an ounce of mystical power in her, she would not be a match for those people.
But very soon, he came to yet another realisation that he had still underestimated her…..
Chapter 19: Overflowing with Murderous Aura！

He only managed to see the figure employ some strange moves to dodge the arrow speeding towards her, while leading seven or eight of those ferocious beasts towards the group of men. She coiled her legs as she landed, and immediately leapt up as her hands grabbed a tree branch as she spun. Making full use of the forward momentum, her feet kicked out, launching her off the tree, speeding like a bullet straight at her target, naturally it was the young man with a bow still gripped in his hand.
"Quick! Dodge!"
The middle aged man shouted out in shock. He had wanted to rush forward to drag the young man away, but the ferocious beasts had pounced towards him and he himself had his hands full, where would he have the time to help him? Alas, he could only watch futilely as the little beggar flying speedily down his foot fully extended.
Fortunately, the young man had startled awake with the deafening shout and his body had taken a step back reflexively, narrowly avoiding the kick that Feng Jiu had aimed right at his head that would have taken his life. But he was still half a heartbeat too slow and he was still kicked in the face. The young man stumbled back a few steps from the impact and at that moment, a ferocious beast charged at him, but the young girl at the side blocked the blow for him.
"Elder Brother! Snap out of it!" The young girl shrieked, her voice panicked, her face filled with anxiety.
The young man recovered at that moment and the burning pain on his face made his rage rise up in his heart. He kept the mystical bow and he diverted his mystical power into a surge. He gathered the mystical energy into his two fists and struck out! A loud bam resounded and the ferocious beast that had charged at him was suddenly sent flying from the impact.
'Howl!'
'Bam!'
The ferocious beast howled in pain and its body crashed heavily to the ground, as the ground tremored slightly from the impact.
When the guards saw that the young man had sent a whole beast flying with just one strike, they were suddenly stoked. Their eyes shone as they shouted: "Young Master is truly magnificent!"
As their hearts were boiling with battlelust, the confusion that had wrecked havoc among them having been caught off guard was suddenly quelled at that moment. Just shortly after, they had managed to kill all of the ferocious beasts.
Several corpses of the beasts scattered in a mess on the ground, as the pungent stench of blood filled the air…..
After the crisis was averted, the group suddenly realised that there were another seven to eight corpses of the beasts in another area not too far away from them, obviously slaughtered by the lone black robed man. But the black robed man was nowhere in sight, and not only that, the little beggar and their Second Uncle were missing as well.
"Elder Brother, where is Second Uncle?" The young girl peered around into the surroundings, but did not see any signs of them.
The young man raised a hand to wipe off a tinge of blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes staring maliciously into a specific spot. He did not speak, but instead returned the mystical bow to her, and suddenly started walking off to his left.
The young girl and the guards immediately hurried to follow behind him.
Under the cover of the dense canopies, the murderous aura was overflowing and even the air had turned colder as the chilling aura permeated and spread. The middle aged man's keen gaze was locked onto Feng Jiu, his low voice was chilling as he said: "You are not a match for me. There is no need for you to put up a useless struggle."
"Really?" Feng Jiu's hooked smile appeared and from her entire being, murderous aura surged out thickly!
The middle aged man snorted heavily as if mocking her for her strong confidence. He summoned his mystical powers and imbued it into the sword in his hand, its honed tip suddenly surging forward the very next moment.
'Clang!'
The dagger clashed against the sword, and a loud clang rang out, sending sparks flying. At almost the same moment, the two weapons in their hands had been flipped and went already executing another strike immediately. After several passes, the sword struck out mercilessly as it thrust straight towards Feng Jiu, the sword's edge was further honed with sword's aura, that would not allow her to dodge!
On a tree just a short distance away, Ling Mo Han saw the scene clearly, and his straight brows cringed together. The very next moment, his gaze changed when he saw Feng Jiu's subsequent actions, not really expecting it…..
