THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 53

Protect young master!” Ling Yi shouted as he jumped in front of the carriage and pulled out his sword. With two swings of the sword, he blocked the two arrows flying towards him.

The Ling family guards were all experienced in combat and were handpicked from the elites of the army. They would naturally not place a mere barrage of arrows like this before their eyes. Some of them guarded the front of the carriage with swords in their hands brandishing to fend off all the poisonous arrows. There are some arrows that cannot be avoided. However, just before the arrow hit the guards, it suddenly lost its target and landed on target. There was actually not a single arrow that landed on the guard. As Ling Tian sat on the carriage, he held a small stone in his hand with an evil grin on his face.

There were at least 50 to 60 of these white-clothed men, at least double the number of guards Ling Tian had. Furthermore, they were all well trained in martial arts with exquisite sword techniques. As they engaged in close quarters, the Ling family guards could no longer defend against them and some of them started to get injured.

Ling Yi was surprised. He quickly waved his sword to force the enemy in front of him away as he shouted, “Ling Er, I will bring some people to block them. Quickly take the young master away!”

The men dressed in white then sneered, “Go? Where are you going to run? You should all go see Hades together!”

Ling Yi was furious as he pounced forward while brandishing his sword. The two then began to engage in a fierce battle.

On the carriage, Ling Tian rolled his eyeballs as he muttered, “I've asked you guys not to call me young master, not to call me young master! You guys don't want to listen and still call me that! Damnit!” Master Qin was frightened until his face paled. After he heard Ling Tian harassing his bodyguards over such a matter at a time like this, Master Qin did not know whether to laugh or cry.

The white-clothed men had forced 20 to 30 Ling Tian guards into a corner as the remaining people stormed at the side of the carriage. The man leading the attack then slashed down and cut the curtain covering the curtain, exposing the old and young men inside.

The man then laughed out loud, “Kill them all!”

Behind him, all the men in white clothes let out a battle cry as they advanced together. But at this moment, the situation changed.

On the carriage beside him, more than 10 men suddenly jumped out. They were all dressed all in black even with their faces black. After they jumped out, they did not say anything but their swords stabbed in unison. Several screams then sounded as three men in white clothes vomited blood from their chests and fell to the floor. The drops of blood dyed the ground as white as snow, as if the ground was filled with blooming flowers.

The gazes of these few men were extremely cold as they had a suppressive and cold aura. It was a bloodthirsty aura born from the battlefield, an aura filled with killing intent!

The man leading the white-clothed man then shouted anxiously, “Not good, this is Iron Blood Warrior Ling Xiao! This is a trap! We had an ambush, RETREAT!”

One of the soldiers then pulled out his blood-stained sword from the chest of the white-clothed man as his face turned into a malicious gaze, “Go? Leave your life first!” He then swung his sword as he charged forward like a tiger!

The men in white clothes whistled as they fled in all directions.

Ling Tian was always sitting on the carriage. Looking at the white-clothed man, his eyes twinkled. If I really let you escape, then won't I disappoint the incredible reward Ling Kong gave me after such careful planning?

His hands then hid in his sleeves as rocks flew out from them without any sign. The stones carried great power and they landed right above the white-clothed people. Most of them hit just behind their knees. Only after the stones landed could one hear the sound of the stones breaking in the air. It was more than enough to know how strong these stones were and how fast they were!

The people who escaped felt a sudden pain in their knees as they stumbled for no reason. The Iron Blood Warrior actually ignored the people on the floor and only chased after everyone who had escaped. There were some of them who even charged towards the direction where Ling Yi was fighting. Their eyes flashed with excitement as if killing was the only thing that could console them in this world!

Ling Tian rolled his eyes, “Not caught that chance, a bunch of idiots!”

Ling Tian was furious, almost wanting to send him flying with a single kick. His face turned black as he shouted, “Don't call me young master!”

Do wrong!

Ling Er touched his forehead in embarrassment. This young master really had a strange temper, worrying about such a thing at a time like this.

Ling Tian then rolled his eyes, “What are you still waiting for? Tie up all the men on this floor!”

Ling Yi then walked over with a few Iron Blood Warriors. His shoulder was bleeding from the slash as he gritted his teeth in pain.

There were a total of 56 people who attacked them. 19 of them were killed on the spot and 24 were arrested while the rest fled.

Only one of the Blood Iron Warriors had minor injuries on his arm and the rest were unharmed. There were over 10 injuries among Ling Tian's guards and three of them died from the battle. Fortunately, most of his injuries were quite light and did not obstruct their movement. There was only one person who was stabbed in the chest and suffered serious injuries. Ling Tian then walked in front of him to check on his injuries. Shortly after, he could not help but shake his head. Like a big bloody hole in his chest. This is beyond saving! With guilt in his heart, Ling Tian knelt down as he asked gently, “I young noble, do you have any other final requests? Tell me and I'll finish it for you!”

The men then stammered as blood flowed out of his mouth continuously, blocking his throat. It was clear that he could no longer speak. He looked towards Ling Tian with his disordered eyes and a deep sense of concern with an anxious tone of attraction.

Ling Tian then turned his head and said softly, “Rest peacefully, I will take care of your family!”

A glimmer of light then shone through his eyes as he tried to move his lips. It was as if he said ‘thank you’, but it was hardly audible.

Ling Tian then stood up and faced the sky as he ordered, “Ling Er!”

Ling Er stepped forward and said, “Your branch is here!”

Ling Tian then ordered without looking back, “Take out your sword! Send this brother on his way!”

Ling Er became startled as his body trembled until he almost fainted on the floor. He then shouted loudly, “NO! He can still be saved! I can't! I can't!” Tears rolled in his eyes.

As the Iron Blood Warrior heard what Ling Tian said, astonishment filled their eyes as they looked towards Ling Tian with understanding. On the battlefield, if a fellow suffered a fatal wound, the best option would be to end his suffering with the sword! This was the most honorable death for a warrior!

They all felt it was strange — if they met with such a thing, it was natural for them to handle such a situation. However, this was the first time Ling Tian had dealt with such a matter and he was actually able to make a firm decision! This made them all surprised!

An Iron Blood Warrior then stepped forward and said, “I will do it.”

He then crouched down beside the guard and used his left hand to cover his eyes. With a heavy mood, he said, “Brother! Rest in peace!”
