Ren Shou sneakingly traveled from roof to roof. He was hoping to catch on some rumors or talks regarding his wife. He kidnapped two men consecutively, but none of them could tell him where his wife was.
Finally, he saw something suspicious.
A group of men was holding water basins and fruits. The last batch of men were holding high-quality silk in their arms. They all went in one direction.
Ren Shou followed discreetly. Using qigong to silently jump from roof to roof, he arrived in an Auction house. The moment his feet meet the roof the auction house, he heard crashes simultaneously.
!!!
His heart skipped a beat. He quickly uplifted the tiles of the roof.
A golden room met his eyes.
Crash.
"Let go!" The familiar sharp voice of a woman made Ren Shou froze.
T-that..that was his wangfei's voice!
He immediately ran his qigong and directed it with his fist as he punched the tiles below him.
Bang!
A loud bang and clatters of tiles came from above.
The people on the ground looked up at the whole then to the dust everywhere.
Amidst the dust and rubbles, Ren Shou stood up. His black clothes were full of rubble dust, nevertheless, he was beautiful as ever. But his murderous eyes and the deathly aura he gave made one have chills.
The Emperor who saw Ren Shou gasped in horror.
"G-guards!"
Ren Shou did not even look at him. He unsheathed his sword and in a blink, it strikes the crown prince's chest.
The crown prince looked shocked at the sword on his chest. He then lost energy on his body as he fell over to Li Amm.
"..." Li Amm was stunned to the sudden turn of events.
She blinked at the dead body on top of her then to Ren Shou who was exuding murderous aura in the room.
"Wangfei..are you hurt?" Ren Shou walked nearer to her with extreme worries on his eyes.
Blink. Huh?
The murderous aura was gone in an instant like she had just imagined it.
"I'm fi-look out!" Li Amm had not finished her words when she saw the guards entering.
Ren Shou did not glance at them and just helped her up.
He stared at her with gentle and worried eyes.
"I almost lost you.."
"You will lose me if we didn't get out of here. Look-cough! " Li Amm pointed at the ten guards who kept flooding in the room.
Ren Shou still did not move. The hell he cared about the ten so guards, he lifted up Li Amm and put her to bed.
"Don't worry. I'll finish this quickly so we can go home." Ren Shou kissed Li Amm's sweaty forehead.
"I love you, wangfei." He said with his heartfelt feelings.
He was glad he had her now. He was glad he didn't found her standing at the side of the Emperor and smiling cruelly to him or worst, found her dead.
Ren Shou felt the heaviness in his heart slowly vanished. His wangfei was safe now. He let out a sigh of relief. He calmed his heart whom he did not notice pounding so loudly in his nervousness.
After his parents died, this was the first time that he felt so frightened of losing someone.
If he arrived late and his wangfei...
Ren Shou could not think of that painful thought.
He turned around and face the guards who had their number multiplied. He looked behind those guards.
The man in a golden robe.
His murderous aura was unleashed once more. This time, he would not make a mistake and kill this damn Emperor.
The guard was hesitating to attack the mighty general. He was known as the god of war on a battlefield. His prestige was very known among every soldier and guard. He was the very idol that they look up to and the heroes in the stories they tell on their children.
How could the guards fearlessly fight the god of their dreams?
"What are you waiting for! Kill that traitor!" The emperor shouts were like a switch on to these guards.
They closed their distance from Ren Shou and shouted, "Yah!"
Ren Shou took out his sword from the crown prince's body. He also took the crown prince's swords.
Using two swords, he faced the onslaught of the emperor's men.
The three guards at the front were annihilated in mere seconds.
The second batch fearlessly attacked thinking they could overcome him with great number.
Ren Shou slashed with his two swords.
The sounds of metal clashing to each other, the grunt of the soldiers before they were killed, the thudding sounds as bodies fell on the ground, the fishy smell getting stronger as minute passed by, were overwhelming the whole room.
Ren Shou was dancing with his two swords. The mist of red blood enhancing each stroke of his sword.
Li Amm could not help but watched in a daze.
Who would have thought she could think of the word 'beautiful' on this onslaught?
"Dar-cough," Li Amm covered her mouth. She was afraid to disturb Ren Shou's beautiful performance.
She suddenly tasted iron in her mouth. There was warm liquid on her hands.
Li Amm slowly gazed down at her hand.
Blood.
She was coughing blood.
'What the heck?'
Then the pain in her back got more severe.
'Darn.'
On the front, Ren Shou doesn't have any idea of Li Amm's predicament. The fishy smell was all over the place that it was hard to distinguish which one came from.
As the last guard from the fifth batch dropped to the ground, silence came after.
The other group of guard who had just come in the room was flabbergasted. They were fifty or so men killed in the room
"G-get m-me o-out.." The Emperor's ass had fallen to the ground. His face was aghast as he saw the might of General Ren Shou.
Fifty men were annihilated so easily!
The Emperor had never witnessed such blunder. He knew that he need to get out of here quickly and gather thousands of men before him to stop this monster.
He clenched to the nearest guard who had the same horror as him. He ordered,
"G-get m-me out..quickly!"
"Hic. Hic. I don't want to die." The crown princess had vomited twice without the people noticing. She was so scared as she just witnessed her husband being killed. Her lust for Ren Shou instantly vanished as she saw how fifty people were killed by him in an instant.
He, Ren Shou, was such a monster in their eyes.
