The Legend of Zhu San
142: The Coming of the Four Swordsmen
Three days ago, at the same time as Song Ruo decided to meet Zhu Han, in Shinzu city, Commander Mao Sheng came rushing to the noble residence of Zhu Han.
A secret letter from the carrier pigeon that had just arrived, was given directly by Commander Mao Sheng to Zhu Han, that afternoon, Zhu Han was talking to some merchants in his residence.
After reading the letter, Zhu Han immediately met his Teacher of the Thousand Faces Swordsman who was training with Tan Kuan in the backyard of his residence.
The face of the Thousand Faces Swordsman looked anxious when he finished reading the letter. He then asked Zhu Han to call Mu Rong and Rei Ji because he would explain what his plan was.
“Teacher are the five of them so great that it makes teachers anxious like this?” Zhu Han asked after the five of them gathered. In the backyard without a single servant who was around the place.
“True, Three Swordsman Huang and Two Slaughterers of the Devil, not just any swordsman. They have abilities no lower than Tan Kuan though.” The thousand-faced swordsman answered Zhu Han's question.
As explained in the letter, their arrival was to kill Zhu Han and regain control of Shinzu City.
This made the Thousand Faces Swordsman ask Zhu Han to send Mu Rong to Baixan City, escorted by Rei Ji and ten members of the Heise Force two of whom were women.
“No Teacher, Me and Mu Rong don't want to be separated anymore. Life and death we will always be together.” Zhu Han replied firmly that Mu Rong approved with a nod of his head.
The Thousand Faces Swordsman smiled at the words of his disciple. He then explained in a quiet voice what he had planned after reading the letter.
Zhu Han initially refused, but after pondering over the words of the Master, Zhu Han was forced to obey. Mu Rong finally agreed with her husband's teacher's plan.
After finishing with the necessary preparations for the next two hours, that afternoon Mu Rong left for Baixan City along with Rei Ji and the ten Heise Troops.
The faces of Rei Ji and Mu Rong, looked extremely sad as they looked at the three people who were looking at them with wide smiles. As if what would happen when the five people came, it was not a scary thing.
Rei Ji took the party, heading towards Baixan city by a different road from the direction of the five warriors. They're going through the west road.
Although the horse-drawn carriage they had brought would take a slightly difficult path due to the many ravines on the side of the road, but right now, it was the safest path.
When the day had just changed the night when the entourage of Mu Rong and Rei Ji, had been since four hours ago leaving the residence of the Noble Zhu Han who now looked lonely.
Zhu Han, Tan Kuan and the Thousand Faces Swordsman, were seen conversing at the front of the magnificent residence. There were no servants living inside the residence.
“Do you two regret being willing to risk your lives for the prosperity of thousands?” Ask the Thousand Faces Swordsman
to the two middle-aged people before him.
“No teacher, we just hope that they didn't really come to this place to kill Han's sister ..”Tan Kuan responded to his teacher's words.
It is because he and his teacher still do not fully trust the information. The plan devised by the Master, only anticipates if the information turns out to be correct.
“Of course not, because ...” Zhu Han had yet to finish his words when suddenly, four people came to the place with extremely high body-lightening knowledge.
“Who are you! And what does it mean to come to my residence in such a way!” Zhu Han snapped at the four of them as if he did not know who and what their goals were.
“So you named Zhu Han, we came here to send you away to hell!” Gao Yu one of the Two Demonic Butchers said while attacking Zhu Han.
But Tan Kuan first moved to fend off the slash of Gao Yu's Sword that aimed at Zhu Han's neck. Gao Yu's sword bounced slightly bounced off. The thing that shows that his inner power is not far below Tan Kuan.
Seeing that, Feng Hu immediately helped his fellow students. He drew his sword and attacked Tan Kuan.
Seeing that his two opponents had started fighting, Two Swordsman Huang immediately charged towards the Thousand Faces Swordsman and Zhu Han. Finally the eight-man fight happened with his excitement.
But Huang Du was too great for Zhu Han, in an instant Zhu Han's body was covered in wounds from the opponent's sword slash. The Long Sword that Zhu Han used, was unable to fight against Huang Du's Sword style.
Even the Thousand Faces swordsman could not do much. He who fought with Huang Jun, had to admit that the man who was around five or sixty years old, was much stronger than him.
The exchange of attacks occurred from dozens to tens and as the fight began to enter a hundred moves, Zhu Han's situation grew even worse.
Other than the wounds on his body multiplying and bleeding continuously, making him unable to withstand the swift attacks from Huang Du.
AARRRGHH
Brother Han!!!
Han’er!!!
The sound of screams rang out from the mouth of Zhu Han whose neck had been slashed by the opponent's sword made the neck almost break.
His body fell to its knees with blood that immediately flowed into the ground in his own courtyard. That's what his opponent saw.
As his attention was distracted, the moves that the Thousand Faces Swordsman used to defend against Huang Jun's formidable attack, revealed a gap that Huang Jun had quickly exploited.
A quick, almost failed puncture was avoided by the martial world figure of the Liu Empire. The puncture only scratched the thin part of his left shoulder.
The Thousand Faces Swordsman immediately went berserk, he managed to urge Huang Jun despite his bare hands. Twice his tread attack managed to hit the opponent's body.
Although wounded in a severe enough, but Huang Jun was still able to give a great attack, Huang du immediately helped the Big Brother and ganged the Thousand Faces Swordsman with a quick and deadly attack.
Getting an attack from two high-ability people whose abilities did not differ much from him, made Teacher Zhu Han start to be desperate.
Tan Kuan became worried seeing that. He did manage to keep up with the Two Demonic Butchers, but due to his split attention, he was almost hit by the slash of two opposing weapons.
The Thousand Faces Swordsman, felt the situation was getting more difficult as the two Huang warriors played out their world-famous joint stance, the Three Eagles Pouncing on the Prey.
