Chapter 443: Ongoing Battle
"His majesty shall not be pleased." Eunuch Xin grunted and he swiped his long scrawny fingers at Sima Ye.
Whoosh.
Several slicing waves shot out from his claw like hand and they cut through the air.
Two men that were engulfed in a golden glow stepped in front of Sima Ye and they blocked the slicing waves with the golden glow.
Dang.
The ringing of metal could be heard when the slicing waves hit the golden glow that engulfed the men.
Eunuch Xin frowned when he saw that his attack couldn’t penetrate through their golden glow.
However, he didn’t have time to think too much about it.
Sima Ye together with Zhao Jia Rui, Du Feng and the other Qing Feng Sect disciples encircled him and they thrust their swords at him.
Twirling winds came at Eunuch Xin in all directions and he had nowhere to dodge safely.
Roar.
Eunuch Xin gave out a roar and his body was covered in a glow that was in the form of a bell.
And when the twirling winds struck the glowing bell, they made the bell give out a loud gong, the twirling winds could only rattle it.
But Sima Ye and the Qing Feng Sect disciples weren’t finished yet.
They pulled back their arms and unleashed another volley of twirling wind strikes at Eunuch Xin immediately.
Crack.
When the twirling wind strikes hit onto the glowing bell again, cracks appeared on the surface of it.
"One more time and we can break it." Sima Ye said and they unleashed another volley of twirling wind strikes at Eunuch Xin again.
But Eunuch Xin was ready for them this time.
Dang.
The glowing bell cracked when the twirling wind strikes hit onto it, but Eunuch Xin hurled a bunch of talismans at some of the Qing Feng Sect disciples.
"Watch out!" Sima Ye shouted at the disciples but it was a moment too late.
The talismans gave out a white glow before they exploded and hundreds of sharp spikes rained down at the disciples.
"Argh!" The spikes pelted and ripped through the bodies of the poor disciples and blood seeped out from the numerous wounds on their heads, bodies and limbs immediately.
Eunuch Xin lunged at one of those injured by the sharp spikes with his hands glowing in a ghastly crimson.
Du Feng came at Eunuch Xin from the side with his sword, trying to stop him.
He swung his sword in quick succession in the form of an ’X’ and the slicing wave that was also in the same form shot out at Eunuch Xin.
Dang.
He was only successful momentarily.
Eunuch Xin parried away the slicing wave with his hands very easily.
And he even had the time to turn around to swipe at Du Feng with his hands.
Skin and flesh were ripped off from Du Feng’s body with ease by Eunuch Xin’s long scrawny fingers.
"Argh." He gave out a cry in pain and he knelt onto the ground.
Zhao Jia Rui who was standing opposite to him saw what happened but she showed no expression and stood where she was.
Du Feng thought about how he used to give everything he had for her and he felt his heart empty when this was what he got from her in return.
Not even a sign of concern was shown for him.
While this was going on, Sima Ye made his move and he descended from above with his sword, forcing Eunuch Xin to stop in his tracks and dodge to the side.
Boom.
The impact from Sima Ye’s strike caused the ground to explode and left a small crater behind when his sword plunged into the ground.
Sima Ye didn’t stop and followed with a swipe of his sword across Eunuch Xin’s feet.
Eunuch Xin leaped into the air to dodge it but it was what Sima Ye had wanted.
The other disciples hurled a net with red scriptures written onto the ropes at Eunuch Xin.
Eunuch Xin thought he was about to be captured with the net closing in on him but a voice came into his mind.
"It’s not time yet. Lie low until I tell you so."
Boom!
An explosion stopped the net from reaching Eunuch Xin and it ripped the net apart.
Eunuch Xin was hurled a distance away by the explosion.
He reached into his shirt and took out a talisman.
It burned and a dark glow engulfed Eunuch Xin’s body.
And within a moment, he disappeared into the dark glow and the dark glow itself dissipated subsequently.
Sima Ye frowned when he saw Eunuch Xin successfully getting away.
But he had no time to chase after him.
There was the Six Pulse Sword Sect to take care of for now.
Sima Ye checked on the injured disciples from the Qing Feng Sect and gave them some recovery pills to recover from their wounds.
They took the recovery pills and the numerous wounds that were all over them healed and closed up immediately.
"Come with me." The battle between the Six Pulse Sword Sect’s disciples and the Sima Family house guards was still going on and he led them to join in the fight.
...
Meanwhile, at the Governor’s Residence.
The Governor was fuming with what had happened and he stared at Ruo Zhi who was sitting at one side of the main hall.
And he turned to the other side of the main hall to stare at the representatives from the Sima Family after a few moments.
Here he was, cracking his head and trying his best to make sure that the citizens in Hong Feng City would be able to get through the harsh winter, but the Six Pulse Sword Sect and the Sima Family didn’t seem to care about any of it.
All they thought about was their power struggle among themselves and the others were just collateral damage to them.
A sense of helplessness came at him again and he wanted to slaughter every one of them in the main hall if he could.
But it was not to be and he could only grit his teeth when the representative from the Sima Family stood up and pointed at Ruo Zhi.
