Novel Bin Chapter 203.1 - The Assassin Headquarters, Carefree Valley
The man smiled happily to himself and went on to swing the bridge more. He was just about to summon up his powers to tread his way over when the steady iron chain bridge suddenly shook and trembled violently.
Tens of withered thin black claws then reached up from under the bridge, grabbing around his ankles in a vice grip. The sharp claws tore through his skin and bright red blood flowed down from his ankles.
The man was so terrified his face drained of all colour, wailing in fright towards the people up there. “Help! Save me! Please save me.....”
That person was a disciple from the Limitless Sect and when they saw him in that situation, one of his companions immediately leapt forward wanting to hack off those claws and rescue the man. But before he could even make a move, he had just touch the man’s body when his own face started to turn black, his body stiffening as he stood frozen in place.
Mu Chi knitted his brows together, like he wanted to do something, but the clear melodious voice of a young lady suddenly reached his ears. “Don’t move. Their bodies are already tainted with the air of death. Nothing you do can save them now.”
It was Qing Yu.
Mu Chi’s heart thumped, and he turned his head to look at her. “Qing Yu, you must surely know of a way to save them. Can you help me rescue them?”
Qing Yu had not even opened her mouth when she suddenly felt someone pinch her on her hip. She raised her eyes and saw the pair of eyes giving her a fierce warning look, seemingly telling her to mind her own business.
Qing Yu gave him a reassuring smile, indicating that she would not be making any moves herself. Her gaze then scanned over the crowd and she then found the person she was searching for. She smiled at him and beckoned for him to come with a hand. “Xing Tong, come on over here.”
When the youth who had been huddled beside Su Li Mo heard his name being called, he immediately got up and ran over to her obediently, before he called out to her happily: “Big Sis Qing Yu.”
Su Li Mo was stunned for a while. [Is he seeing things here?]
[That imp Xing Tong has always been terrified of people and would seldom get so close to anyone else but him, afraid to even speak to others at all. When did he start to become so loving to another person? And it looks like he likes that person more than the boy likes him.]
A slightly bitter feeling rose up inside. [That hollow hearted little imp.]
Xing Tong came obediently before the young lady, feeling a little scared as he glanced at the man who was staring at him with a rather unfriendly gaze. He then carefully shifted his steps to one side and his voice was soft and wary as he asked: “Big Sis Qing Yu, you called me over for something?”
Qing Yu smiled and ruffled the young youth’s head. “Xing Tong, this is your area of expertise. Let those monsters down below go to sleep for half an hour. That should be very easy for you to do isn’t it?”
