Eternal Saber

Chapter 411 - 17: Kill!

"Take action!"

Upon hearing Chen Tang’s voice, Mei Zhenyu’s heart sank, realizing they were on the brink of a fierce battle.

Currently, the four of them could only give it their all to break out of the encirclement.

However, Sword Casting Manor was, after all, a top-notch force in the Jianghu, with a large number of powerful fighters.

Once the two sides engaged, the sound of fighting would only draw more people!

The longer the delay, the harder it would be for them to escape unscathed.

It was a pity to have dragged his junior sister into this.

Brother Chen still had to take care of his sister.

The chances of the four of them escaping from Sword Casting Manor were exceedingly slim.

In a flash, countless thoughts raced through Mei Zhenyu’s mind.

On the other hand, Zhu Lingxue, who had never seen such situations, was utterly frightened, completely frozen on the spot.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Tang moved, like a Fierce Tiger coming down the mountain, already charging at the Fourth Manor Master!

"Courting death!"

The Fourth Manor Master sneered, just about to draw his sword when Chen Tang suddenly opened his mouth and unleashed a deafening roar!

"Roar!"

The Lion’s Roar erupted!

In an instant, more than a dozen people in the room, including Mei Zhenyu and Zhu Lingxue, were shaken to their cores, their vision darkened, and their heads buzzing, almost fainting on the spot.

The Fourth Manor Master, being the closest to Chen Tang, bore the brunt of it.

Struck by Chen Tang’s Lion’s Roar, his mind blanked out, momentarily losing focus.

But he was, after all, in the Third Grade Meridian Passage Realm, recovering his wits the quickest.

Seeing Chen Tang already upon him, he didn’t have time to draw his sword, he raised his hand and punched, Inner Qi erupting, intending to knock Chen Tang back.

Just then, he felt a sudden chill in his throat!

"Huh?"

The Fourth Manor Master’s expression changed, involuntarily widening his eyes.

What was happening?

Who?

Who could be behind him?

Was there a traitor in the manor?

The Fourth Manor Master’s strength rapidly faded, as if his body was a deflating balloon, though the punch he unleashed was still incomparably fierce.

But before his hand was fully raised, the punch was already weak and powerless.

The person who had just charged at him, upon seeing his condition, turned away immediately, ignoring him, and rushed into the crowd, crashing through, the sound of bones breaking and snapping resounded!

"Hiss hiss!"

The Fourth Manor Master heard an unusual sound by his ear, like the sound of spraying water.

His vision turned blood-red, a mist of blood spraying from under his chin.

The Fourth Manor Master opened his mouth, reaching out with his hands, grasping futilely in the void before finally collapsing lifelessly to the ground.

To his dying breath, he couldn’t understand how he died, or who ended his life!

Mei Zhenyu thought that when Chen Tang said ’take action,’ it was a reminder to him.

In fact, Chen Tang was speaking to Ah Li.

As soon as Chen Tang spoke, Ah Li had already vanished from her spot, her form ghostly, appearing behind the Fourth Manor Master, blending into the dozen people, simultaneously sealing the Ear Aperture with Inner Qi.

The next moment, the Lion’s Roar erupted, affecting almost everyone.

But she was prepared, taking the opportunity to slit the Fourth Manor Master’s throat with a blade!

Thud, thud, thud!

Following that, shadows darted through the crowd, blood splattering everywhere.

Except for the somewhat difficult Fourth Manor Master, the rest of the guards were like fish on the chopping board in front of Ah Li!

The fight broke out suddenly, ending without any warning.

Once Mei Zhenyu regained his senses, he saw the Fourth Manor Master already fallen to the ground, lifeless, his body still twitching unconsciously.

Of the remaining dozen guards of the manor, apart from those knocked flat by Chen Tang with a few punches and kicks, lying incapacitated, those remaining stood frozen, as if immobilized by the Body Immobilization Technique.

"Were they accupoint-hit?"

Mei Zhenyu felt a surge within, about to inquire.

"Hiss hiss!"

Suddenly!

Almost simultaneously, the necks of the dozen people before them revealed blood lines, rapidly expanding, spraying a mist of crimson blood.

In the next moment, the group of people collapsed one after another, dead on the spot!

More than half of them had fallen at Ah Li’s hands.

At this moment, Zhu Lingxue finally came back to her senses.

She, after all, had the weakest cultivation, recovering rather slowly.

She was almost knocked out cold by Chen Tang’s single roar just now.

Now regaining consciousness, she was still somewhat dizzy and disoriented.

The scene before her left her aghast and colorless.

Mei Zhenyu was equally dumbfounded, shocked, and shaken to his core.

His arm trembled slightly.

From the moment Chen Tang uttered the words ’take action’ till now, his sword had only just been drawn halfway.

Seems it’s over already?

Yet he clearly saw several people indeed being struck away by Chen Tang, their life or death unknown, but who else killed the others?

In broad daylight, could it be they had seen a ghost?

Seemingly realizing something, Mei Zhenyu suddenly turned around, looking for Ah Li’s presence.

There was no one!

Could it be her?

This mute girl with almost no sense of existence, often overlooked!

Mei Zhenyu looked around, but besides the three of them and the corpses in the room, there was no one else, Ah Li seemingly vanished into thin air.

What was going on?

Unintentionally, Mei Zhenyu glanced sideways.

Hiss!

Ah Li appeared back in her original spot, as if she hadn’t moved at all!

But just now, when he looked over, there was clearly no one!

Mei Zhenyu’s expression revealed uncertainty and doubt, even questioning if he had seen wrongly.

"Let’s go!"

Chen Tang returned, waving a hand in front of Mei Zhenyu and Zhu Lingxue, sternly saying, "Leave here, and don’t show any sign of panic, stay composed."

The fight had lasted an extremely short time, ending with a single Lion’s Roar.

People in Sword Casting Manor didn’t even have time to shout for help.

As long as the four of them left without showing any flaws, no one would realize in the short term.

Mei Zhenyu took a deep breath, temporarily setting aside the doubts in his heart, nodding.

He instinctively grabbed Zhu Lingxue’s wrist, softly channeling a strand of Inner Qi, trying to comfort her.

With his experience in the Jianghu, he had faced numerous dangers over the years.

Yet no danger combined could match the thrilling intensity of the brief flash of blades and the storm of bloodshed just now!

Life and death seemed ephemeral.

Ah Li remained as she was, calm and expressionless.

As though those who died here were not dozens of people, but merely ants.

Chen Tang exited the room, avoiding stepping in the bloodstains as much as possible.

Ah Li still held onto the box.

Mei Zhenyu and Zhu Lingxue closely followed behind the two.

Following Ah Li’s memory, Chen Tang and the four headed towards the outside of Sword Casting Manor.

During this, they encountered some manor people, curiously glancing at the group of four.

Chen Tang remained composed and unhurried.

Anyone who came up to inquire was casually fobbed off.

Some nearby people, though a bit puzzled, didn’t think much of it.

After all, this was Sword Casting Manor.

Who would dare make trouble within the manor?

It’s just that they didn’t know exactly what happened earlier; the Fourth Manor Master went in with some people, a loud roar came out, and then there was silence.

Perhaps the negotiations fell through.

Chen Tang and the four left Sword Casting Manor smoothly.

After descending the mountain, Chen Tang motioned, and the four mounted horses and swiftly galloped away.
