Chapter 192: Unforeseen Events at the Banquet( 2 )

This handsome man with almost transparent skin has scarlet eyes burning with fury. Obviously, he is Cang Qiong, the emissary of Nan Jiang.

He ran his vicious eyes down all ministers and their family members mirthlessly. These QingYan morons dare to laugh at him. So he would satisfy them if they were wishing for death.

“Kill them all!” He commanded mercilessly, with his callous voice piercing through the clouds.

All the ghosts raised their guard up in an instant. They dashed down in wooden snakes with long, shimmering swords which were directed towards unarmed people on the square. Blood began splashing everywhere.

All the ladies who didn’t know how to fight were terribly frightened that they started running towards all directions, screaming, “Help……”

The bodyguards rushed over, pulled their swords out and fought with the ghosts. The whole square fell into disorder right away.

“Cang Qiong, how dare you kill people casually in QingYan Kingdom! Aren’t you afraid of being condemned to death by your Emperor?” Minister Du stood behind the bodyguards, looked up at Cang Qiong and glowered at him with hatred.

Cang Qiong looked down and glanced at him with a disdainful snort: “Emperor Nan hates your people the most. So If I kill all of you, your country will become a part of ours. Our Emperor will only reward me instead of blaming me.”

Minister Du narrowed his shrewd eyes in an instant: “Were you entrusted with your Emperor’s mission to assassinate our Emperor?”

“None of that matters now. What matters is that none of you will live through today. ” Cang Qiong roared with laughter and cruelty in his eyes as he ordered brutally, “Kill every one of them! No exemption!”

“Yes, sir!” The freaks responded loud and clear, then dashed towards Minister Du in wooden snakes.

Groups of ghosts and wooden snakes suddenly engulfed Minister Du and bodyguards near him.

Cangqiong stood in midair, stared at the direction of Minister Du whose whereabouts was unknown, and sneered scornfully: “The reason for his death is that he dared to clamor for war with me.”

He had also met several enemies just now, and he was determined to make sure that they all die miserably. No one gets out of here alive!

Cang Qiong looked down at the direction of Murong Xue with a sinister sneer flashing across his face.

Encircled by ghosts and wooden snakes ring upon ring, she was still waving her sword rapidly. Her pale blue sleeves fluttered in the wind, which contrasted finely with the gleam of her sword. Most  of the nearby snakes were cut in half and they fell to the ground one after another.

Ouyang Shaochen stood aside, flicking his fingers. His strong internal force was aimed mercilessly at the wooden snakes, which instantly turned to ashes, and the ghosts on their back fell to the ground and breathed their last breath.

Mu Liufeng was not far away from them, waving his fan casually, while everything, as well as the body of every ghost within its range were torn apart.

The air surrounding them was tainted by the slain. Mu Liufeng frowned: “Did Cang Qiong send all these ghosts and wooden snakes to kill us all?”

Murong Xue nodded and agreed at the sight of countless ghosts flying back and forth in their wooden snakes, “I guess you are right.”

“What a maniac!” Mu Liufeng said, ferociously staring at the ghosts as he waved his fan rapidly. Blood splashed out while ghosts fell down to the ground and their snakes were smashed to pieces.

Standing in midair, staring at the battle and all the corpses, Cang Qiong slightly narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, “All guards that came to this summer resort with the Emperor of Qingyan are experienced, coupled with generals with superb martial skills, it’s impossible to defeat them without sacrifice.”

Harming others with self-devotion is not what he wanted. Contrarily, he wanted absolute triumph. “Fly higher and faster! Don’t let those overconfident morons get to you!”

The ghosts followed the order, and shuttled back and forth above the guards. Blood was flowing like streams wherever the swords were swiped.

Their sneak attack left the bodyguards with great martial skills out of range, resulting in regrettable death. Blood of guards died in that wholesale slaughter formed a stream, whose colour was bright enough to stain the ground.

This is no longer a battle between the ghosts from Nan Jiang and bodyguards from Qing Yan, but a unilateral massacre!

Looking at the blood all over the place, Cang Qiong smiled complacently and made a brisk gesture. Enemies he hated the most had took too long to struggle on the square, and now it’s time for their overdue death!

“Swish——!”Two ghosts mercilessly swooped down in their wooden snakes towards Murong Xue, regardless of the sword glistening in the sunlight and her hand, which could knife them in the neck with a single touch.

For an instant, Murong Xue’s eyes became sharp. She tapped the ground with the tip of her toes and rose into midair, then swept her sword across the necks of ghosts just like lightning!

Shallow wounds appeared on their necks, which gradually widened with blood running down, and took the last breath of those two ghosts. Being out of control, their wooden snakes fell into pieces.

“Shoot them with arrows, now!” Murong Xue’s eyes glimmered with caution. The range of arrows is much larger than that of swords, thus making it the most suitable weapon against wooden snakes.

Without distinguishing whose command it was, bodyguards immediately put arrows on their bowstrings and violently aimed at ghosts and wooden snakes as if wakening from a dream.

“Swish, swish!” The arrows came with a fierce intention to kill them. With nowhere to hide, ghosts in midair fell heavily to the ground, leaving trails of mutilated bodies and wooden blocks.

Seeing the effectiveness of arrows, all of the guards took action more rapidly as their faces lit up. Arrows that were as dense as raindrops flew towards the ghosts and wooden snakes mercilessly.

Looking at the weirdos and wooden snakes being shot down frequently, Cangqiong cracked an insidious smile. Murong Xue had been so smart that she figured out a way to deal with his wooden snake group. However, it would not be easy for her to defeat him.

“Find a shelter to protect yourself from the arrows.” His penetrating voice of command was transmitted through the square and echoed in each ghost’s ears.

“Yes,sir!” Upon hearing the order, ghosts suddenly pressed the button on the back of their wooden snakes. Sharp claws grew out of their wooden bodies as they mercilessly dashed down to grasp civil ministers, madams and maids.
