Chapter 1099: The terrifying sky
The woman was not willing to answer Yu Dong’s question, she tried to break free from the restraints that were bounding her. But no matter how much she struggled, the gnarled roots that were holding her upside down did not break away causing the woman to grit her teeth in anger.
” Who are you? What kind of monster are you?” The woman gritted her teeth as she looked at Yu Dong who stood in front of her. What kind of woman could do something like this? There had to be something wrong with this woman, was she some sort of forest spirit?
Yu Dong raised her hand and then slapped the woman, the force of her slap was rather light as the woman only lost three teeth and was still conscious. ” I am not a patient woman and I really dislike it when someone calls me a monster. So you better tell me who sent you here before I lose my patience and I kill you slowly. If you use your sorry life to become useful for me, I will be kind to you.”
The woman spat out a mouthful of blood after she was slapped, she looked at Yu Dong fearfully and then said, ” W…We are hired killers, I don’t know who asked us to do this job but they sent us here to kill Jiang Yu… the expert poisoner and the woman who tried to rescue us…and…”
” And?” Yu Dong prodded as she narrowed her eyes causing the gnarled roots to squeeze the woman’s body who choked in response, her eyes turned red with despair as she breathed out and then looked at Yu Dong before replying, ” And to burn the Big R..River Village, cough … we were hired to take the two targets down as they were not useful an…anymore.”
Yu Dong’s eyes widened a little as she reached forward and then grabbed the collar of the woman who just finished speaking, ” Why do you want to burn Big River Village?”
” I… I don’t know…. How can I know? I was just handed an order—— My leader separated from us, while she …went to the Big River Village… our resp…responsibility was to kill Jiang Yu.”
” You really don’t know who ordered you?”
” I really… I really don’t…” the woman shook her head, her eyes blurring because of pain and tears, ” I was just following the orders handed to me by my leader. We were asked to ruin the Big Village River and Jiang Yu as they refused…to help.. as for the rest only my leader knows.”
” Is your leader the one who is in charge of killing Lu Huo?”
The woman’s eyes widened when she heard Yu Dong’s question. Was this woman from the Big River Village? If so, how was her leader going to kill this monster?
” Speak!” Yu Dong knew what the woman was thinking but she did not give her any chance to think anything.
” Y..yes, the employer who hired us told us that Lu Huo had something really important and asked us to steal it. But I haven’t heard anything from the leader which means that she did not find it,” replied the woman.
The most important thing? Then didn’t they mean the keys that Lu Huo was hiding, because that was the only thing that Lu Huo could use to ruin his mother and the eldest princess?
But the crux was that the employer asked for the Big River Village to be burned along with the villagers!
Since these people were together it meant that the person who sent them was the eldest princess because she was the only one who was upset about Yu Dong not joining hands with her and helping Li Wan instead.
Yu Dong narrowed her eyes as she clenched her fingers and the roots which were holding the assassins were squeezed to death, with loud bangs they exploded like blood bags dyeing Yu Dong from top to bottom with blood.
” ARGHHHH!”
Yu Dong had taken the entire group of assassins together with her, she turned to look at the coyotes who were watching her with wary eyes. But Yu Dong did not respond, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her face before saying, ” Five minutes eat as much as you want and then follow me properly if you don’t want to die like them, understand ?”
The coyotes shivered, even though they did not know how bad it hurt but upon seeing the entire body of humans turn into nothing but a puddle of blood and flesh, they knew that it must hurt a lot.
They hurried to finish their meal as fast as they could.
Once five minutes were up, Yu Dong climbed up the horse and then dashed forward followed by the coyotes.
Experience the best from m|v|l|e|mp|y|r
The coyotes did not want to follow her but they thought about how they would be killed if they were to refuse thus they chased after Yu Dong without struggling.
Yu Dong nudged the horse even when the horse was tired she did not allow it to breathe and instead gave it spiritual energy, since she was here—— it meant that the leader of the mercenaries was sooner or later going to make another move.
She rushed the horse so fast that the clothes on her legs were torn and her skin was wounded as well causing blood to ooze.
” Hah!” She whipped the horse when it slowed down. Though she hated forcing this muted being … but if she didn’t more than three hundred families would be burned alive!
For eight hours Yu Dong did not stop even for a minute causing her eyes to turn blurry. But when she saw that she had arrived at the familiar fork road which was only two hours away from the village, Yu Dong did not dare to stop.
“Just a bit more,” she whispered. Earlier on she should have really killed that woman even if it meant going down with her!
On the other hand, Chen Mi looked at the dark sky which looked even more terrifying than usual and asked, ” Why does it feel like something is going to happen?”
