Ch. 089.1: She’s One of Moon Water Paradise’s People?! (1) Translator : MoonWhisperer, TWIP I Editor : TWIP

Soon after, another two batches of arrows rained down, and the two people struggled to avoid them.

Du Xiao Li glanced at the ground that was covered in arrows, and a grave expression spread across her face. It seemed that the opposing party had come prepared and specifically waited for the two of them here!

“You’re not hurt, are you?” Beiling Yi Cheng asked.

“No.”

A group of black-clothed people emerged from amidst the forest, perhaps because they had run out of arrows. With machetes or long double-edged swords in hand, these people charged toward the two of them wordlessly. It was unknown if they were targeting Du Xiao Li or Beiling Yi Cheng.

However, Du Xiao Li managed to figure out very quickly that these people were charging toward her. This was because the number of people besieging her was clearly greater than those surrounding Beiling Yi Cheng. Just the two of them were going up against 40 to 50 people.

Moreover, these 40 to 50 people had pretty good martial art skills. This placed great pressure on Du Xiao Li and Beiling Yi Cheng.

Fortunately, Beiling Yi Chengs martial art skills were also pretty good, so he could help Du Xiao Li quite a lot. If he were someone who lacked the strength to even truss a chicken , then the two of them would likely die here today.

Beiling Yi Cheng snatched away a sword from one of the black-clothed people and seized the opportunity to pierce the person who was sneaking up to attack him from behind. Turning his hand over, he pulled out the sword and immediately left that person to die. Then right after extracting the sword, Beiling Yi Cheng lunged it straight through its owner’s heart.

Blood sprayed out in the wake of the sword, dying red the fallen leaves which covered the ground.

Meanwhile, Du Xiao Li threw some poison powder at the people before her. It was normally Xia

Yuan and Ying Ge who carried the poison powder, so Du Xiao Li didn’t have much of it with her. Right now, this small amount of poison powder could only stop the enemies for a while, allowing her to kill her way to Beiling Yi Cheng’s side.

“Let’s go back to back.” Beiling Yi Cheng had already been feeling it was quite difficult to deal with the surrounding enemies. However, now with Du Xiao Li, the two people could protect each other’s back [2] and focus on the enemies before them.

This was Du Xiao Li’s first time killing people in such a manner ever since coming to this dynasty. The wave upon wave of assassins advancing dauntlessly allowed her to set free the evil tendencies she’d kept hidden for so many years, just like that time when the cruel training session turned this once innocent and naive young girl into Asura.

Sensing the killing intent being unleashed behind him, Beiling Yi Cheng turned his head apprehensively and saw Du Xiao Li swiftly eliminating the enemies before her. It was as if those people weren’t humans but prey waiting to be slaughtered!

Such an intense killing intent… Just what kind of experiences would one have to go through in order to develop that?!

Du Xiao Li—a 14-year-old girl and one of Feng Mings most senior officials—got rid of the person before her. Then with her left hand, she snatched away the sword in her opponent’s hand and threw it behind her, coincidentally piercing someone who was behind Beiling Yi Cheng. She cast a glance at Beiling Yi Cheng and then continued facing her enemies.

Regardless, Beiling Yi Cheng knew that now wasn’t the time for him to be astonished. Although the two of them had already dealt with a large portion of the enemies, they were getting increasingly fatigued!

Beiling Yi Cheng’s left arm was pierced by a sword. When Du Xiao Li heard that sound, she turned to look and hurriedly pivoted her body to support him, landing a kick on the perpetrator.

With no time to speak, Du Xiao Li and the opposing party entered a hard battle. Meanwhile, Beiling Yi Cheng forcefully propped himself up to continue fighting. As the number of corpses on the ground continued to increase, the strength of the two people gradually decreased.

Having lost too much blood, Beiling Yi Cheng was already at his limits. If he were to continue on without getting his wound bound, his life might be in danger. Seeing that there was still half the initial number of enemies before her, Du Xiao Li regretted for the first time that she had been too hasty during her departure. She hadn’t brought a musical instrument with her, so even if she wanted to use Sound Arts now, she couldn’t do so!

Yet right at this moment, the melodious notes of a flute rang out. It was an exceptionally strange occurrence in this forest which had been dyed red with blood.

The three people nearest to Du Xiao Li were struck by a force and killed instantly.

This unforeseen event caused all the black-clothed attackers to stop in their tracks, which in turn gave Du Xiao Li and Beiling Yi Cheng the chance to take a breather. Everyone’s gaze followed the sound of the flute to its source and saw a group of white-clothed people fly over. Each person carried a musical instrument, and the person playing the flute was currently the one who was situated in the most central position inside the group.

With astonishment filling their eyes, the black-clothed people said something for the first time:

“Moon Water Paradise!”

Inwardly, Du Xiao Li was also greatly astonished. Although the new group of people had covered up their faces, Du Xiao Li was still able to recognize two of them—Fairy Shui Qing, whom she had seen during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and Feng Li Shang, the vocal music teacher!

Fairy Shui Qing played the flute as she flew over. As she landed on the rock Du Xiao Li had stood on previously, Fairy Shui Qing lowered the flute in her hand.

“Fairy, we and Moon Water Paradise have both always minded our own business. I hope you can please make things easy for us,” one of the black-clothed people said.

Meanwhile, Fairy Shui Qing glanced at Du Xiao Li. Upon seeing that the latter was fine, Fairy Shui Qing then opened her mouth to say: “In the past, we never had much interaction with the Hitman

Pavilion. However, today, this person is someone we want to protect. I wonder if the Hitman Pavilion can make things easy for us?”

“Don’t think that we’ll be afraid of you just because you’re from Moon Water Paradise! We’re definitely going to kill this person today! Otherwise, what reputation will our Hitman Pavilion have left in Jiang Hu?!” The black-clothed person said with great conviction while brandishing the blade in his hand.

However, he didn’t actually feel so sure about being able to do it. In order to ensure that they could take Du Xiao Li’s life, they had sent almost 50 of their members over here. Initially, they even thought they were making a big fuss over a minor issue, but who knew that Du Xiao Li would actually have such powerful martial arts skills? Moreover, the martial arts skills of the man beside

her were also quite good. As such, the Hitman Pavilion lost many of their members before they

were finally close to ending Du Xiao Li. Yet this was when some members of Water Moon Paradise

suddenly arrived!

Everyone knew that Moon Water Paradise was a sect that used Sound Arts as their martial art. There were several great fairies in the sect, and all of them had impressive Sound Arts. With one glance, it was obvious from Fairy Shui Qing’s style of dress that she was one of them. Moreover, everyone had a glimpse of her prowess when they saw her instantly dispose of three people just a moment ago.
