Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.54 - Trap

Xiao Jung monitored every tree around the road while the guards were negotiating, and his guess was correct. Xiao Jung's eyes caught several people hiding on top of a tree, each of them at least carrying an arrow.

"Chen'er, you take out the people on the left tree! I'll finish off on the right side of the road. Remember that! Don't make noise and try not to kill them." Xiao Jung patted Fu Chen on the shoulder and jumped high towards the other side of the road.

Fu Chen gritted his teeth, while approaching the enemies that Xiao Jung pointed at. "Ck, how do you knock them out without making any noise?" Fu Chen's tongue clucked furiously.

"Sir, please listen to me first. I'll give you some money if you let us go down this road.." Persuade the bodyguard again, he didn't expect that the robber would instantly kill their catch.

The robber laughed out loud at it. "How much do you offer?" Ask the robber with a kebar grin.

Elsewhere, Xiao Jung began to approach one of the archers from the robber. his whereabouts were not realized so he could easily grab the man and hit the nape of his neck and instantly render the archer unconscious.

"Damn, there are five more!" Xiao Jung then continued his action. Every now and then he also looked at the state of the bodyguards, it seemed like they also realized this was a trap and were stalling for time to look for an opportunity to escape.

On the other hand Fu Chen also started to approach an archer who was preparing to take aim. He as much as possible to not make a sound when jumping.

A moment later Fu Chen appeared behind the archer and closed his mouth tightly.

"Hmmm! Hmmm…!" Erang the archer before his neck was swiveled by Fu Chen.

Fu Chen held the archer back from falling, his hands trembling slightly after doing so. "Sorry senior, I don't know how other than to kill them." Fu Chen muttered then approached the other archers.

The archers on Fu Chen's side were at least three more people left. Fu Chen's breath hunted after he killed the second archer, his breath hunted not out of exhaustion. But his soul felt in shock because this was the first time he had killed a human.

While about to kill the third archer, Fu Chen failed to do the action because the archer realized his existence.

The archer jumped away from Fu Chen after he brushed off Fu Chen's previous attack. Suddenly a whistling sound was heard shrill in the air as the archer left.

"Damn!" Fu Chen became panicked, he pulled the sword at his waist then darted to catch up with the archer.

Surprise turned out to be only naturalized by Fu Chen, even the robbers themselves were also surprised to hear it.

"They're trying to buy time! Quickly surround them!" The chief robber.

Instantly, several men in armor, complete with swords and knives, came out of the carriage that the robbers had taken hostage. They quickly ran up to the merchants in front of him.

"Damn! Just a little more so we can escape." The leader of the bodyguards grumbled then ran over to his comrades.

"Quick get on your horses!" The command of the guard leader when he saw the merchant carriage they were protecting had already turned back.

"Their land!" The chief robber exclaimed loudly, but after a while his forehead became wrinkled as no arrows appeared.

"What are those bastards doing?" The chief robber was furious. "Catch 'em! I don't care if they're dead or alive!"

Without being told even the herd of robbers had managed to approach the entourage of traders.

But their arcs came to a halt as a dark blue-robed young man came in from the front.

At Fu Chen's own place he had to defeat one more archer before joining Xiao Jung. The archer kept firing his arrows despite jumping among the trees.

The distance between the two was thinning, clearly visible if the ability to lighten the archer's body under Fu Chen. The archer was then hit by a sword slash on his back that made him fall from the trees.

"I beg the swordsman! Don't kill me!" said the archer with a frightened face.

However Fu Chen paid no heed to the archer's plea. His face was flat then he swung his sword to slash the archers legs.

"Welloooo!" Shouting the archer in pain, he began to shed tears of powerless pain while holding onto his thigh.

"I have followed your wishes." Behind Fu Chen's flat face, he was actually holding back the hot sensation on his body. The passion to kill the robbers was overflowing, a feeling like this he had experienced when fighting with Bai Yan first.

Fu Chen turned his gaze to where the robbers had started and darted back there. It turned out that he had gone far enough after this one archer.

The reason Xiao Jung had blocked from the front of the merchant entourage was actually not to stop them. He wanted the bodyguards to help him defeat the robbers.

The moment Fu Chen arrived at their location, it turned out that the battle was going on fiercely. Although the robbers won the number, but because of Xiao Jung on the side of the guards made the robbers desperate.

Fu Chen ignored them, with the current ability of Xiao Jung should the perverts be defeated easily. Fu Chen checked the carriage that the robbers were holding hostage.

Fu Chen frowned because inside the carriage was nothing. However, moments later Fu Chen heard a swearing of a woman behind the carriage.

"That damn bastard, he actually slapped me! Just look at it later! I'll chop her up if I don't get a good loot" the woman sighed.

"You…?" Fu Chen was very surprised when he saw the woman who had been slashed by a robber was still alive, even he looked better now.

The woman gasped and immediately turned her head towards the source of the voice. He was misbehaving for a moment. "T-sir... You came to save me?" The woman said stammering.

The frown on Fu Chen's forehead only deepened. Fu Chen's gaze probed into the surroundings, he found that there was no one there, the rope on this woman's body had also been removed. Why didn't he run away immediately?

"Are you okay?" Fu Chen asked wanting to observe this woman's movements further. Xiao Jung had already said before if this woman was one of the herd of robbers, but Fu Chen slightly did not believe a woman like this would be a part of that party.

The woman silently smiled widely in her heart, she praised herself who was so talented in acting. This woman thought she had also managed to trick Fu Chen.

"Yes, sir, thank you for saving me…"

"You better get out of here while the robbers are fighting" Sahut Fu Chen still kept his distance from the woman.

The woman widened her eyes for a moment, before returning mellowly, not wanting to be known by Fu Chen. "What are those bastards doing there? How could they let this kid come?" Put that woman in my heart.

"Can you help me stand up? My legs feel weak.." Pinta woman is weak. He quietly put his right hand in his shirt, like he reached into something.

Fu Chen did not reply, he simply complied with the woman's wishes without taking his eyes off.

When the distance of the two stayed two meters, the woman threw a secret weapon from her right hand. Fu Chen who had previously conducted the test to avoid this kind of thing could fend it off easily.

The woman was surprised, but she was already convinced that this boy had entered into her trap. He then jumped back while throwing other secret weapons, yet the attack could be tackled easily by Fu Chen.

"Who are you?" Ask the woman to panic.

"Is that important?" Fu Chen grinned widely, his every step making the woman's heart beat fast.

Fu Chen could feel the strength of this woman was only a late stage second-rate swordsman, which made wonder in fact why this woman was cursing as if she was the leader of that robber.
