Chapter 155 Murong Linger Takes Action
The sounds of fighting here, like surging waves, quickly spread across the valley and soon alarmed the convicts on the other side. They were immersed in the fatigue of work and confusion about their fate, and their peace was suddenly broken by the sudden noise.
Everyone looked up in astonishment and saw huge rocks rolling and whistling down from the top of the cliff, as if the end of the world had come. Each rock carried a tremendous force, and when it hit the ground, it splashed dust and rubble all over the sky, making a deafening roar.
“Uncle Chu!”
Murong Chen's crisp but anxious shout instantly penetrated the noisy fighting and the roar of rolling boulders. His little face flushed red, and his eyes were fixed on Chu Lingfeng, who was surrounded by the black-clothed men in the center of the city. His feet moved forward unconsciously, as if he wanted to rush into the swordplay.
The river here is backed by a mountain, and the terrain is as steep as the open mouth of a giant beast. If you make a mistake, you will fall into the surging river and be swallowed up by the fast-flowing water in an instant, ending up with no trace left.
Seeing her son so reckless and anxious, Murong Ling'er quickly reached out and embraced his slender body, her brows furrowed.
Then, she let out a delicate cry, and her whole body flew up like a light flying swallow. At the same time, she quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A faint blue light bloomed in front of her, and her life-saving magic weapon, the Mysterious Ice Shield, instantly appeared. The shield exuded a biting cold air, like a layer of indestructible ice armor.
Murong Ling'er drove the black ice shield, like a bright meteor, and crashed straight into the huge rock that kept rolling down above her head.
Chu Lingfeng and Zhao Hao stood back to back, surrounded by men in black. Huge rocks kept rolling down their heads, each one like a scythe wielded by the god of death, flying past their scalps.
The soft sword in Chu Lingfeng's hand hummed, his eyes were as cold as ice, staring closely at the man in black in front of him, his feet moving flexibly, as if looking for the enemy's flaws.
Zhao Hao was not to be outdone. The long sword in his hand shone with a cold light, and dragon patterns faintly appeared on the sword, showing its extraordinaryness.
He and Chu Lingfeng cooperated with each other. Whenever a huge rock rolled down, they would tacitly move to the side and swing their swords to resist the attacks of the men in black.
Until Murong Linger took action. She controlled the black ice shield to draw graceful arcs in the air. Every collision was accompanied by a loud noise. The rolling boulders were like a flock of driven sheep, and were knocked into the surging river, splashing huge water.
Seeing this, Chu Lingfeng and Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that the real crisis had not yet been resolved.
Lin Yu and Zhao Wei engaged in a thrilling battle with the men in black on the top of the cliff.
Lin Yu held a spear in his hand, the tip of the spear flashing with silver light. His spear skills were like a dragon emerging from the sea. Every time he thrust out, there was a whistling sound of the wind, heading straight for the vital points of the man in black.
Zhao Wei brandished two swords, which danced in the air into a piece of light and shadow, like two full moons. His moves were fierce and powerful, and every chopped move could make the black-clothed man's weapon buzz.
The two men joined forces, like a pair of war gods descending to earth, and defeated the men in black on the top of the cliff. After dealing with the threat on the top of the cliff, they did not stop at all. They turned around and rushed to the fighting circle where Chu Lingfeng and Zhao Hao were like lightning to provide support.
At this moment, where Chu Lingfeng and Zhao Hao were, swords and sabers flashed and crisscrossed, and figures flashed so fast that it was dazzling, and only vague afterimages could be seen.
Zhao Hao became more and more frightened as the battle went on. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and fear.
During the fierce confrontation, he noticed that the killers' moves were very different from his own country's style. Their attacks were more fierce and strange. He couldn't help but think: These killers are actually foreigners, and looking at their skills, they are all top masters.
His mind was filled with questions. How had his whereabouts, always secretive, been leaked? He had actually attracted such a powerful foreign assassin. Judging from the situation, he was probably in great danger today, and Chu Lingfeng had also been implicated.
Chu Lingfeng was also shocked. He keenly discovered during the battle that the target of this group of people's attack was not only Zhao Hao, but himself was also included. He wondered in his heart, when did he develop such a deep hatred with the foreigners?
After Murong Ling'er resolved the crisis caused by the rocks, she did not immediately go to rescue Chu Lingfeng. Her bright eyes looked towards the top of the distant mountain. There, there was a figure hidden in the clouds and mist, looming.
Murong Ling'er had a strong intuition in her heart that this person must be related to the assassination. Without any hesitation, she twisted her body and rushed towards the mountain like a gust of wind.
The man was hiding on the top of the mountain, thinking that he could control everything without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect that Murong Ling'er would discover his whereabouts. His face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He turned around and wanted to cast a flying spell to fly away.
However, Murong Ling'er was faster. She drove the black ice shield and slammed into the man like a cannonball.
With a scream, the man lost his balance at a height of hundreds of meters and fell straight down like a kite with a broken string. He landed heavily on the top of the mountain and then rolled down the hillside.
Seeing this, Murong Ling'er looked down at the thousand-foot-high mountain, weighing the risks of pursuit in her mind, and finally decided not to pursue for the time being and turn back.
Just as she flew back to Chu Lingfeng, she saw a figure like a fallen leaf suddenly flying backwards and falling towards the river at the foot of the mountain.
"Prince——"
Zhao Wei's urgent cry pierced the sky. He was extremely anxious and quickly pulled himself away without hesitation, chasing after the person who fell into the river.
Murong Ling'er didn't want to pay attention to this sudden situation, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She thought of Zhao Hao's noble status. If something happened to him here today, her side would inevitably be caught up in a huge political whirlpool and would find it difficult to escape.
So, she gritted her teeth and used the Wind Teleportation Technique, and her whole body instantly turned into a blurry light and shadow.
At the critical moment when Zhao Hao was about to fall into the river, she stretched out her hand and, like a gentle flash of lightning, took Zhao Hao into her arms.
A pair of soft arms suddenly wrapped around his waist, and Zhao Hao subconsciously turned his head, only to be met with an extremely seductive face. That face was like an orchid blooming in the dark night, exuding a captivating charm, especially between the eyebrows. A vague sense of familiarity once again surfaced in his mind.
"It's you." Zhao Hao blurted out, and immediately recalled the stunning glimpse in Leizhou City. At that time, he was attracted by the unique temperament of this woman, but he did not expect to meet her again in such a critical situation today.
Murong Ling'er was filled with confusion when she heard Zhao Hao's words. She glanced down at him, wondering: Does this person know her? Or does he know the original owner? She subconsciously glanced at Murong Chen in her arms, then quickly glanced at Zhao Hao. Noticing that the two looked nothing alike, her suspicions vanished like bubbles.
