Immortal Warriors
IW 72 - Assaulted

After feeling well rested, Ling Zhen and Yue Rou finally decided towards the Chudong Capital. Ling Zhen himself was about to marry Yue Rou in front of Queen Chu.

On the way as usual, Ling Zhen and Yue Rou sparred over trivial matters, even Yue Rou sometimes enjoyed flirting as well as judging Ling Zhen.

“Senior Yue, can you introduce me to your parents? You said from childhood living with Queen Chu, where exactly are your parents?” Ling Zhen asked, however he wanted to ask the blessing of the two old men Yue Rou.

Hearing Yue Rou's question, instantly Yue Rou's smile disappeared. Seeing that Ling Zhen felt guilty.

“Sorry, I shouldn't have-”

“Since I was a kid I didn't know who my parents were. I was taken care of by the Queen's Mother. She was very kind and considerate, but a few years ago I was fifteen years old and the Queen was thirteen years old, the last and greatest Chaos Era in the Chu Empire took the life of the Mother of the Queen...” Yue Rou bit her lower lip and involuntarily shed her tears.

It was only the first time Ling Zhen saw the other figure of Yue Rou that he wiped away the female tears and hugged her body.

However it was not Yue Rou his name if it was protracted in grief. As he felt Ling Zhen's embrace getting tighter, Yue Rou purposely puffed her chest making Ling Zhen relax his embrace.

“Zhenzhen, you're looking for an opportunity by hugging me, aren't you?” Yue Rou stepped on her tip and looked at Ling Zhen's face up close.

Ling Zhen looked down and was surprised to see the White Fox close his eyes sleeping casually on Yue Rou's chest.

Ling Zhen flushed his face, “Senior Yue, don't you have to stand it. Take out all your sorrows-”

“Thank you Zhenzhen, I feel good. I didn't think you were so serious about marrying me anyway. You know, you just made my heart beat so fast.” Yue Rou flushed her face then resumed her journey.

Ling Zhen chased after Yue Rou and recalled the expression of Yue Rou who looked sweet and so seductive in her eyes.

‘White Fox, stop pretending to sleep!’ Through telepathy Ling Zhen spoke to the White Fox.

‘Human boy, do you also want to feel it? It's so soft and warm, I feel like I can sleep as much here.’ The White Fox replied.

‘Cih! My view of you changed after seeing this!’ Ling Zhen clicked his tongue and looked annoyed.

Within two days, Ling Zhen and Yue Rou were already close to the Capital of Chudong.

Before heading straight for the Chudong Capital, Yue Rou explained to Ling Zhen that she hated the Chu Imperial Advisor who was known as the Xiong Adviser.

“Why are you telling me this?” Ling Zhen smiled and deliberately looked unconcerned.

Yue Rou's adorable expression involuntarily came out as the woman puffed her cheeks.

“Sorry, I was just kidding. Why do you hate him?” Ling Zhen asked.

“Entah, at that time I did not understand either. But I could hate the look she had on that moment at the Queen Mother and Queen.” Yue Rou grew increasingly upset about telling the figure of Counselor Xiong to Ling Zhen.

Long story short, before going wandering into the Jia Empire and the Chu Empire, Yue Rou had once seen Counselor Xiong was chatting with some swordsmen who sold some female slaves.

However upon realizing that Yue Rou was observing him, Adviser Xiong killed the warriors. And Adviser Xiong explained to Yue Rou if the warriors who spoke to him threatened him, so he killed them all.

But after seeing the swordsmen's bulging eyes when killed Adviser Xiong made Yue Rou increasingly feel there was an awkwardness. Moreover, the expressions of the frightened slaves did not even have a life spirit anymore.

Ling Zhen nodded his head and understood the reason Yue Rou hated Adviser Xiong.

“Then we immediately headed for Chu Palace, Chudong City was near-” Haven't had Yue Rou finished her words, she listened to the screams of female voices from the direction of the forest.

“Please!”

“Senior Yue!” Ling Zhen immediately increased his alertness as he felt someone observing his movements.

Yue Rou also realized, “Zhenzhen, remember these words of mine. In the Chu Empire there were several high-powered warriors who wanted to awaken the most terrifying black sect in the entire Chu Empire. The name of the sect is Black Demon Flag.”

Ling Zhen had heard this name from Peng Jiusha about the Black Demon Flag. And as Ling Zhen was thinking about Peng Jiusha's words, a whip hit his stomach and made Ling Zhen bounce a few meters away from where Yue Rou was.

“This ability!” Ling Zhen realized the person who whipped him had the ability of an Intermediate Stage Sky Swordsman. Ling Zhen who had now just reached the Peak Stage Earth Swordsman felt the effects of the attack just now.

By using the God Eye Mark, Ling Zhen could be in a condition where he had the ability of an Intermediate Stage Sky Swordsman, but he recalled the words of the White Fox so as not to use the God's Eye Mark to improve his abilities as it would render his body paralyzed.

Realizing that, Ling Zhen took the King of Hell Chain from the King Room and immediately flowed it with deep energy before moving it.

From a distance Yue Rou played her two swords agilely and beautifully, while the man wearing the mask and black cloak continued to attack Yue Rou with his deeply energized whip.

“Who told you to?! You should know who I am, right?!” Everyone in the Chu Empire should know the figure of Yue Rou, so no one dared to look for trouble with her since Yue Rou was the right hand of Queen Chu except for the warriors who survived during the Chaos Era.

The man laughed and let go of the whip filled with embers, “Who told me? Naturally he was the Patriarch of the Black Demon Flag! Looks like I will taste your body first before killing you!”

Yue Rou frowned hearing the name Black Demon Flag, ‘Patriark Black Demon Flag?’

Yue Rou closed her eyes before welcoming every whip that let out that fire.

‘His ability is as high as mine. I can't believe there's a black-flow swordsman still around like him!’ Yue Rou opened her eyes and stared intently at the man.

At a glance he saw the shadow of a chain moving in the air, realizing that the chain belonged to Ling Zhen made Yue Rou decide to take the step of attacking the man who attacked him directly.

The moment Yue Rou's sword slash successfully avoided the black-robed man, the Black King Chain also nearly pierced through his heart.

It was seen Ling Zhen coming from above with Phoenix abilities before attacking the black-robed man.

“Blown Nine Phoenix!”

The dust blocked visibility, Ling Zhen leaped beside Yue Rou and focused his attention on the black-robed man.

“Zhenzhen, he has a higher ability than me! Tetao alert!” Yue Rou gave a warning.

“I understand!” Ling Zhen replied.

Sound of laughter from behind the scene, “Interesting! After recovering my condition for thirteen years with demonic powers, I found an enemy I deserved to kill!”

The black-robed man rang his neck, “Don't die too soon!”

Yue Rou's eyes widened to see an emblem on the man's body as her black robe burned from Ling Zhen's attack.

While Ling Zhen released a large amount of murderous aura while staring at the black flag emblem seen on the man's body.
