Chapter 1037: Master Takes Action
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sound of the zither was indescribably pleasant, like the sound of nature.
Even though the Ghost Shadow Guard were not proficient in music and was not very interested, he could not help but listen a few more times.
The Ghost Shadow Guard remembered his mission after all and had no intention of stopping.
However, for some reason, his footsteps slowed down.
Xiaohu, who was in his arms, said fiercely, “Big baddie! Let me go quickly! Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
The Ghost Shadow Guard looked at the little fellow in his arms who was as fierce as a little bear cub and clearly did not take his threat seriously.
Xiaohu was also a child knowing no fear and bit him with his small teeth.
The Ghost Shadow Guard would not get bitten again. He turned Xiaohu around, grabbed the clothes on his back, and carried him up. Xiaohu missed his bite and his small arms and legs fluttered.
The zither music continued.
From the melodious tune at first, it gradually became high-pitched and revealed a hint of killing intent.
The Ghost Shadow Guard were stunned on the spot.
The killing intent in the zither music made a trace of fear surge in his heart. His heart trembled slightly. Not long after, fear and the intention to retreat actually arose.
Just as a figure suddenly attacked from behind him, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the shadow on the ground. He stomped his feet and jumped up to avoid the attack.
He spun and landed on the roof at the side.
There was something strange about this zither sound! He had almost been bewitched just now!
He looked at the little packrat in his hand again.
Xiaohu had long stopped moving and let him carry him obediently without saying a word.
This little fellow had caused so much trouble along the way. After the zither sounded, he suddenly stopped moving.
If he moved, he could be woken up in advance…
Xiaohu closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
The Ghost Shadow Guards did not have the time to study a child, and the person who had ambushed him just now was hiding somewhere.
The sound of the zither continued, covering the movements in the surroundings and disturbing the Ghost Shadow Guards’ minds.
He felt his internal breath running amok, and his meridians were reversing uncontrollably.
What kind of zither sound was this?
Why did it make one want to go berserk?
His heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out of his chest. His mind was buzzing, as if a sharp knife had drilled into it and was constantly stirring his brain.
He shook his head and tried to regain consciousness.
He couldn’t go on like this. He had to find the zither player!
He looked at the house in the east and jumped up to the damp alley next door.
There was a carriage parked there. The sound of the zither came from the carriage.
The Ghost Shadow Guard looked coldly at the carriage. “If you dare to play again, I’ll kill this child!”
The zither music stopped abruptly.
However, the Ghost Shadow Guard did not let down his guard. He stared straight at the carriage and was prepared to attack at any time. “Who are you?” The other party did not respond.
“Come out!” the Ghost Shadow Guard said again. “Otherwise, I’ll kill this child!”
If the same thing worked the first time, it wouldn’t be so useful the second time.
No one was a fool.
If he really killed the hostage, how was he going to report back?
“I’ll count to three. If you don’t come out, I’ll break one of his arms!”
As the Ghost Shadow Guard spoke, he walked towards the carriage step by step. As he walked, he guarded the little packrat in front of him.
Seeing that the time was ripe, he struck down the curtain!
However, to his surprise, the carriage was empty. There was no one! The Ghost Shadow Guard was alarmed. He suddenly drew his sword and turned around.
Now!
A pear blossom dart spun over from the side. The strange arc made the pear blossom dart slash at the Ghost Shadow Guard’s neck like a sickle.
The Ghost Shadow Guards could have avoided it. After all, they were experts comparable to the top puppets of the Holy Maiden Temple.
However, the interference caused by the zither music did not completely disappear. His reaction was a step slower. His body trembled and he was nailed to the ground.
Hot blood flowed down his neck.
A secret guard flashed over and caught Xiaohu before he hit the ground.
The secret guard carried Xiaohu out of the alley.
Ling Yun slowly walked over from an abandoned courtyard and looked down at the Ghost Shadow Guard lying in a pool of blood.
Even until his death, he could not believe that he had lost so easily to a zither player.
He was indignant!
Unwilling…
“The little rascal already asked you to let go of him. If you don’t listen, who can you blame?”
With that, Ling Yun turned around calmly and took out a pear blossom dart with two fingers. He shot it back at the pear blossom dart that fell to the ground.
The two pear blossom darts collided and shattered with a bang.
Ling Yun met his little rascal at the snack shop opposite the alley.
The secret guard bought him a bowl of sweet osmanthus balls and Xiaohu was eating them heartlessly.
Seeing that his little evil disciple was not much frightened, Ling Yun snorted calmly. “You only know how to eat.”
At the Cheng family.
When everyone realized that Xiaohu had been caught, they were all furious. onostrear usea all ms strengtn as tne King or aeatn warriors ana Klilea rour Ghost Shadow Guards at all costs!
Yuchi Xiu was no match for the Ghost Shadow Guards alone, but it was not easy for the Ghost Shadow Guard to kill him.
Coupled with the fact that Wei Ting had already set up the medicine and mechanism array in the courtyard,
Yuchi Xiu was in charge of luring them to the mechanism formation. Wei Ting and Wei Liulang attacked from both sides. Mei Ji shot out all her hidden weapons and eliminated three Ghost Shadow Guards.
The last one took Cheng Lian away.
The three brothers stopped chasing.
Wei Liulang hurriedly said, “Go save Xiaohu!”
Wei Ting said, “There’s no need. I heard the sound of the zither. Ling Yun made a move.”
Wei Liulang said anxiously, “He doesn’t know martial arts!”
Wei Ting paused and said, “His zither music can even suppress Big Brother. A
Ghost Shadow Guard is nothing.”
Wei Liulang was confused by his concern. After hearing his brother’s words, he suddenly remembered that his eldest brother had never won a fight with Ling
Yun.
It was all their fault for not fighting recently. They had forgotten Ling Yun’s ability.
Wei Liulang scratched his head. “Little Seven, who do you think this Nalan Yun
Wei Ting pondered and said, “It’s hard to say. Perhaps Nalan Yun is just another identity.”
After eating and drinking his fill, Xiaohu pounced into his master’s arms and smeared his face with osmanthus-flavored saliva.
Ling Yun pushed his little rascal’s face away in disdain. “Get down and walk back yourself.”
Xiaohu did not come down.
“You’re four years old!” Ling Yun reminded his little evil disciple with a cold expression.
“Three years old!” Xiaohu corrected Shi Hu. “I’m not four years old before my birthday!”
Ling Yun gritted his teeth. “Only two months left!”
Xiaohu lay down in his Master’s arms. He didn’t care. He was the baby today!
He was not coming down!
He wanted to be carried!
The secret guard walked over. “Xiaohu, let me carry you.”
Xiaohu refused. “I want to be carried by Master!”
Ling Yun’s face darkened. “I won’t carry you. I’ll count to three. If you don’t come down, I’ll beat you up! Three!” Xiaohu lay on Ling Yun’s chest. “Two!”
Xiaohu continued to cross his feet.
“One!”
Ling Yun stood up and carried Little Brother Steel back expressionlessly!
