Bab 36: Blood Lust and Assassination
Evenings in the Spring were a little cold and breezy, and the streets were still.
Liu Rushuang stood on the roof with both hands behind her, not moving an inch. Her eyes could pierce the dark clouds, as she looked up at the barely visible moon.
*Phwoosh... Phwoosh...*
The strange and shady sound of the breeze against Liu Rushuang's clothes rang endlessly.
All of a sudden, Liu Rushuang averted her gaze toward the direction of the imperial palace.
The people sent to assassinate her had finally arrived!
She noticed a large horde of people dressed in black from a distance dart towards her in the sky. Not a single trace of fear lingered in Liu Rushuang's eyes.
On the contrary, a sinister smile formed in the corner of her mouth, and a glow of excitement surfaced her eyes.
She hasn't been able to kill unrelentlessly for a while and because of this, her whole body has been feeling a little uncomfortable!
The guards in black wore black face masks and their whole bodies emitted a ruthless and cruel aura.
Their leader's eyes were the most ferocious.
He remembered the fervent command that the Emperor gave them: "You must kill the Liu family's Third Young Miss! If this mission doesn't go well, then you will all take your own lives!"
Those dressed in black thought about Ouyang Xiu's command and gritted their teeth. They had to kill the Liu family's Third Young Miss.
Liu Rushuang noticed the fury of the thousands of guards in black , and became increasingly excited. Blood lust filled the brims of her beautiful, butterfly-like eyes.
When the guards in black were almost several hundred steps away, Liu Rushuang thrusted her left hand forward from behind and raised it straight in front of her.
*Phwoooar*
In an instant, Liu Rushuang conjured a fireball the size of a human in her left hand.
*Boom*
In another instant, the huge fireball turned into countless palm-sized small fireballs.
In that very moment, the guards in black flying towards the roof in front of them all looked at Liu Rushuang with shocked expressions on their faces.
How could someone possess an inner breath of fire?
To gather such a big ball of inner breath would at least require dozens of years of inner strength!
Also, for such a huge ball of inner breath to actually split into countless small balls in an instant... Just how much control did she have on this an incredible ability?
Liu Rushuang looked at the near thousands of shocked guards in black and cracked a bloodthirsty smile. "Still want to fight?" She asked in a chilling voice.
The leader was evidently a little frightened but as a man of his position, he had naturally seen his fair share of guards in black dying in action.
To save his own life, he decided to be the final one to charge out there!
A sly glint flashed across his eyes. Then, he shot a fiendish glare at the men behind him and loudly ordered, "Charge! Kill the woman in front of us and a hundred thousand taels will be yours!"
A hundred thousand teals! With that kind of money, they could live in luxury for the rest of their lives!
The energy of the men dressed in black rose, as they screamed, "Yes, Captain!"
"Kill..." the men cried enthusiastically. As they flew towards Liu Rushuang on the roof in front of them, they held swords made of blue inner breath in their palms.
The swords were already as ice-cold as water in Spring, but their sizes were adjusted so that its destructive power was greater than an iron sword made by a blacksmith.
This required a strong sense of control over their abilities and sufficient inner breath powers.
Liu Rushuang watched the vicious bee-like swarm of guards in black flew towards her and coldly cried, "You've really overestimated yourselves!"
Then, she reached her slender right hand out and raised it up to the side of the countless fireballs. Her fingers gently swiped aside like was playing with the air.
In an instant, a fireball as big as a palm flew forward.
"Ah!!" Shrieked the guards in black furthest ahead, before they dropped onto the roof.
