Chereads / THE PRINCE OF HERBS / Chapter 210 - GU SHU 1

Chapter 210 - GU SHU 1

Huan Shikang was a truly confident person, one might even say that he was arrogant. When someone used witchcraft to attack enemies in the back, Huan Shikang was instead about to stab Zhu Su directly in the front. However it was a bad idea for him if his attack was in a common way, he preferred to bring down his enemy in an uncommon way - a way that would even shock Heaven and Earth. And Gu Shu, in his opinion, was perfectly fit to satisfy this murderous lust.

"Are you ready to do it, Yun?" He asked a woman in her forties dressed all in black beside him.

Yun, the woman, answered calmly, "Yes, my Lord."

Huan Shikang grinned in satisfaction. He climbed up the podium where he launched the "war".

All of his supporters hailed enthusiastically as Huan Shikang and his supporters (except Rumilie) standing at the center of the podium. Smiling broadly, he raised both of his hands, began to speak.

"All my disciples, right now we are going through a very tough time. We are being slandered! They call you paid masses and say that I am terrorizing the people. They also create a fake Zouyu and set up the fake Kaifeng people to fight against us. It appears that the government begins to use cunning methods. Since they can't go against the Mandate of Heaven, they start to use cunning methods against us!"

Everyone shouted again, but this time they blurted the shout of "booo" full of furious curses.

"Nothing is easy, especially the struggle to bring down the falsehood. Moreover, we are against the government. We are now on the same side as Zhou Wu Wang. Jiang Ziya was sent by Heaven to help him overthrow King Zhou of Shang who was totally falling into Da Ji's jinx. I feel confident, because we are supported by Jiang Ziya. Yes, this time, Miss Yun is also accompanying us."

Zhu Su arrived at the location just when Huan Shikang was introducing Yun. As for Yun, she was a woman who owned a peculiar charm. Mysterious, even terrified. Everyone who saw Yun would immediately get the temptation to run away from her as soon as possible. Yun seemed to own a magnetic pole identical to ours which caused a repulsive force. Perhaps it was because of the black clothes she preferred to wear, but even though she was not dressed in black, the feeling people got would be still the same.

In fact, at that moment a peculiar horror immediately infiltrated the entire mass. The cold air blew unnaturally and froze the skin. Everyone fell silent, they were so quiet that the sound of the blowing wind could be heard clearly. As if the Queen of Wind was drawing her ice sword right at this moment.

"Master Yun will help us fulfill the Mandate of Heaven! The Heaven has incised a very cruel Fate to the Ming Empire - to the entire Ming imperial family! Especially the royal family of Zhou Fan Wang Guo! Disaster will descend upon the entire royal family and they will die horribly!"

"You dare, Huan Shikang?!?"

Zhu Su could not hold back his tension anymore. Standing on the hill not far from the podium, he was now glaring furiously at Huan Shikang and his gang. Wu Qi, Chen Xinyi, and Liu Ku stood behind him, while dozens of mighty San Hu Wei soldiers were brandishing their respective weapons.

Huan Shikang turned his gaze to Zhu Su. His laughter boomed. "Well then! Zhou Wang himself will show us the truth of the Mandate of Heaven! His death will soon prove our victory!"

Wu Qi shouted, "Don't think there are no laws here, Rebels! You think it can be that easy to jinx the royal family?! I tell you, you can't do it even after waiting for a thousand years!"

"Of course I can! Because I am the next ruler of this country!"

He raised his hand. Yun followed his movement, she closed her eyes, put her thumb and index finger in front of her nose, and started mumbling. In front of her was a large transparent jar containing a bunch of black, jumbo-sized spiders. One of Huan Shikang's disciples put the talisman papers into the flames. The wind was harder and louder, and the clouds were coming, more and more.

Zhu Su gasped. He felt something which should not be here had instead appeared. He looked left and right. But he found nothing.

"Don't let him do that!" Chen Xinyi screamed. All of San Hu Wei soldiers immediately ran forward, dashing down the hill and heading directly to the podium.

"Haaahhh!" Huan Shikang yelled. The fire that burned the talisman paper grew bigger in a sudden. The wind was blowing hard, the banners hanging on the podium started to fly, even the wooden podium began to rattling and swaying. The rioters were busy covering their heads and defending themselves to prevent them from being blown away by the wind. Zhu Su and Liu Ku were struggling to maintain their shaky feet as to stand well. However, Wu Qi, Chen Xinyi, and the San Hu Wei soldiers were the real mighty people. No matter how strong the wind whacked, they kept running, and even, this strong wind made them more enthusiastic to attack the enemy.

"Stop them!" Huan Shikang gestured to his subordinates. They thus swiftly drew swords and blocked the royal army.

"Such that little power won't bother us!" Wu Qi fiercely slashed his sword and stabbed one of his enemy's stomach.

"Don't be afraid! We have trained so hard all this time! In the name of Buddha, we will be able to defend the ultimate truth!"

The battle continued. The clash between each other had been so fierce. But Yun was still able to focus on chanting mantra. She seemed very calm and immovable... yet because everyone was busy protecting her.

"Stop that! You won't be able to fight us! Surrender and come with us!" Chen Xinyi was angry with Yun. "Hey, Madame over there, do you hear me?!"
