Old man Feng smiled to himself as he watched his companions chatter away happily. His daughter in law was really interesting, wasn't it said that she couldn't cultivate? She was clearly at least a level 7 novice. Then where those rumours false? Or could she recently have started to cultivate?
Impossible, she had been missing for a few months, she couldn't have climbed up 7 levels in that short amount of time! After all, her siblings were considered geniuses but the most favoured is barely a level 6.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of laughter coming from the siblings, In the end, it didn't matter, Bo Jing should be happy to get his fiancé back just in time, his mother was ready to marry him off to the shu girl.
Maybe now he would stop sulking whenever his mother talked about marrying any upcoming talents.
Looking up at the sky he let out a sigh, the sigh was indeed beautiful.
"Old man Feng!"
A series of arrows came crashing down on the group and subconsciously Qin Li Ai grabbed Qin Wu Xie and quickly grabbed the old man before jumping out of the way barely in time before the arrows embedded themselves into the ground, some even left behind small cracks in the hard ground.
Li Ai shuddered, If she had been one second late and one of those arrows had landed on her little brother's head then...
Another batch of arrows came crashing at them and once again she picked up the old man and her brother before quickly jumping out of the way. She was already panting by the second time she had to dodge the arrows, no matter how much training she did her body was still too weak.
And her brother was just as weak against this type of attack!
"Sister..."
Her gaze shifted to her little brother who held onto her garments as he tried to suppress his emotions of fear that seemed to be engulfing him.
"It seems like you're tired." A cold malicious voice extended from the shadows and suddenly a man followed by four more figures made themselves known. Each was clad in black skin tight clothes with a black mask on their face. On their forearm was in bright red colours a picture of a pair of wings, odd why would their logo be a pair of wings?
"Girl, this is bad, at your level you won't be able to defeat them."
The old man's voice was grave and quiet, he glanced at Qin Li Ai briefly before gently stroking his beard.
"What do you suggest I should do?" She asked taking a stance, she hadn't learnt any elemental techniques, if she really fought then she would surely die!
" I need you to go find Bo Jing."
Bo Jing!?
She stared at him like he was completely insane, that good for nothing fiancé! How could he possibly help!?
"Girl, we don't have much time."
"Old man Feng, please corporate and hand us your life."
The leader said in the same cold monotonous voice that seemed to be laced with thorns. Old man Feng frowned as he gave Li Ai an oddly shaped ball, she clutched it. There was no way she was going to leave the old man!
"Big sister..."
Her senses suddenly reformed themselves as she was reminded of her brother who would surely be killed if she decided to fight the old man.
"Take this ball and quickly find Bo Jing, I'll hold them off long enough for you to escape."
The leader let out a dry laugh. "Escape? Old man, aren't you getting ahead of yourself?" He revealed a thin nimble sword that he showcased as he prepared himself to kill. "Do you really believe they can get away?"
"It seems like this youngster is quite rude." Old man Feng began to comment as if his life wasn't about to end. "Let this old man teach you a Lesson."
With that both parties attacked, old man Feng smiled as he grunted slightly before releasing a huge burst of spiritual essence, right then the assassins were met with a ferocious sea of flames rushing towards them consuming them, including the old man.
He coughed spitting out a bit of blood. She felt the urge to rush in there and save him.
"Big sister....?"
She looked down and carried the young boy before fleeing.
Old man Feng stood stationary as another cold metallic voice came from behind. "Your sacrifice will be in vain."
The old man smiled, "What would you know about sacrifice?"
The assassin that had addressed him frowned as old man Feng continued, "Jun Xiao Wan."
The old man didn't appreciate his name being called by such a traitor, "go and kill them." Then all of a sudden a group of men in black jumped out from the shadows and chased after the siblings. "Are you still confident old man Feng?"
Unfortunately, the old man couldn't reply as he was soon attacked relentlessly after that.
Qin Li Ai panted breathlessly as she dashed through the rocky terrain, where was that damn powerful fiancé of hers when you need him!?
Completely useless!
