Chapter 37: The Difference In Strength

Translator: Paperplane
In shock, all the guards in black in the back stopped in their tracks when they saw the others had fallen swiftly onto the roof!
They all looked down, but all they saw were bloody, palm-sized holes on the fallen mens’ hearts!
“Uh…” The men hesitated. Were they going to continue to attack? Because their difference in strength seemed a little too wide.
Liu Rushuang saw the scared men at a distance in front of her, cowardly afraid to step forward. “What’s wrong? Do you not dare come at me anymore?” She mocked.
Dressed in all white, Liu Rushuang sleeves fluttered and her face glowed blood-red from the reflection of the flames. She was just as terrifying as Asura from Hell!
But as imperial guards in black, they weren’t afraid of Li Rushuang’s outer appearance.
Thinking about the reward of a hundred thousand teals, he immediately summoned his courage. “Kill… Onward…”
“Haha…” Liu Rushuang smiled delightfully and continued sweeping the air with her right hand.
“Ah! Ah! Ah…” In a short amount of time, dozens of men fell onto the roof. Before being able to even touch Liu Rushuang’s clothes, they rolled like stones.
Eventually, the leader’s face was filled with horror. The Liu family’s Third Young Miss was simply too incredible! If someone told him that she was the master of assassins, he would definitely believe them!
However, thinking back to Ouyang Xiu’s command, the leader’s face turned from fear to the determination of a man who pledged his life to complete the mission. “Kill her! Kill that woman and you’ll be rewarded with fifty hundred thousand teals!”
“Charge…” The guards in black rushed towards Liu Rushuang once again, full of energy.
Liu Rushuang saw the several hundred men flying towards her, and a raging, murderous aura flash swiftly across her eyes. Then, she waved her right hand and gathered small fireballs like scattered petals.
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!*
Several hundred fireballs shot towards the men in the sky.
Soon after, the men on the roof shrieked endlessly. “Ahhhhhhh…”
Several hundred guards in black tumbled onto the roof with a loud crash.
*Thump! Thump! Thump…*
“Haha… Why have you stopped now? Come at me again!” Liu Rushuang looked over at the cowering men and reached her right index finger out.
At the same time, her left hand gathered many small fireballs.
“W… what should we do?”
“No matter how high the reward, I don’t want to go get myself killed!”
“How is this woman so powerful! I’ve never seen someone so powerful!”
…
The several hundreds of men leftover retreated to their position and murmured amongst themselves.
“Haha! Didn’t you want to kill me? Hurry up then! It’s been a long time since I got a kick out of killing!” Jeered Liu Rushuang, as she completely didn’t see them as opponents.
For the past few years, she hasn’t run into any enemies like this!
“Q-Quit pretending to be savage!” Exclaimed the leader. Then, he commanded, “Attack with balls of inner breath!”
The men were clearly a little hesitant. Once the inner breath balls released, their inner breath would be depleted.
If they couldn’t attack this woman with outstanding martial art skills, then they’d just be wasting their inner breath balls.
It definitely wasn’t worth it!
They would rather use inner breath swords to attack!
The men’s leader saw his own subordinates were hesitant, so he gritted his teeth and commanded coldly, “Charge onward! Don’t tell me you’re all going to disobey a command?”
The guards in black thought about Ouyang Xiu’s orders to kill the Third Young Miss of the Liu family, and how their own entire families were going to be massacred if they disobeyed an imperial decree.
This was terrifying!
