Chapter 113: Each one serves his own master, nothing much to say
The killers of the Nalan clan would usually take some murder orders. The Nalan clan was a well-known killer organization in the underworld. No one knew how many people there were in their organization.
No one knows who the leader of their organization is. The Nalan family has a special way of taking orders, and the leader does not need to show up. Even if there is a big business that requires the eldest young master to discuss in detail, the eldest young master will wear a mask.
For this reason, the Nalan clan has always been the most mysterious organization in the world. Chu Xi knows that instead of persuading them with money, it is better to start from other points...
"Since Yunzhou, you have been chasing me relentlessly, but I believe I have nothing to do with you!" Chu Xi was still relaxed in the face of so many people trying to stop him.
Even while she was talking, she could still easily deal with the sword moves that wanted to kill her.
The killers naturally wouldn't speak. They had no right to speak. They could only obey.
The only person who is qualified to speak now stands far behind and does not interfere.
People of the Nalan family are born with their own responsibilities, and he is given heavy expectations. He has no right to say whether he wants it or not, or likes it or not.
Even though he didn't want to cooperate with the Seventh Prince Zhou Jinye, and didn't want the other party to use the Nalan family's people as pawns and use them however he wanted...
The successive assassinations had already caused some losses to the Nalan clan. Even if these losses could be made up, these were the people that the Nalan clan had carefully cultivated...
Young Master Nalan stared silently at the sky-blue figure in the fight. He was dressed in a long brocade robe, and his appearance was androgynous, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away. His pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be shining.
Especially when that person was swinging the sword, every move seemed like he was dancing with the sword. If it weren't for the assassins around him who occasionally intruded, this scene could be painted and appreciated as a beautiful picture.
"The Nalan clan has tried to kill me several times, so the losses must be considerable. Young Master, are you sure you want to keep working for the Seventh Prince like this? Does he really regard you as his subordinate?"
Chu Xi knew that it was useless to talk to these killers who only followed orders, so he simply used his inner strength to transmit his voice so that the whole forest could hear it.
The eldest son rubbed the hilt of the sword inconspicuously. The two words "Nalan" engraved on the hilt were now rubbed repeatedly by his fingers. The two words were like a brand, always engraved in his heart.
The Seventh Prince...
This time, the Seventh Prince merely sent someone to tell him that Chu Qibai must be killed to prevent future troubles.
Do whatever it takes.
But... this at all costs is not to let the Seventh Prince suffer losses, but to let the Nalan family lose people. How can it be so easy to train a killer with good skills?
The loss of manpower in the several rounds of ambushes has already damaged the foundation of the Nalan clan...
Chu Qibai was not someone who could be killed easily. The fight lasted less than half a cup of tea, and more than one third of the people he brought with him were killed or injured.
The eldest son's eyes turned slightly cold, and seeing this, he couldn't help but close his eyes, trying to suppress all the emotions in his heart.
Deserting from the battlefield is not something a killer would do. He raised the sword in his hand, drew it out without saying a word, and rushed towards Chu Qibai.
After several chases and continuous sword practice in the mornings, Chu Xi is making rapid progress.
Even the sword moves of the Nalan clan, which specialized in assassination organizations, were unable to do anything to Chu Xi for a while when they were matched with her moves.
The eldest son of the Nalan family has always been hailed as the most talented swordsman in the Nalan family in the past hundred years. However, even such a genius still inevitably encountered setbacks when facing Chu Xi's modified sword moves.
No matter from which angle he attacked, Chu Qibai could catch it quickly and accurately, and even seemed to be able to guess his next move.
The sword moves of the eldest son of the Nalan family were known within the Nalan family, and even the senior elders were helpless against him. However, when he faced Chu Qibai, he felt constrained after just a few moves and had no idea where to start.
When the two of them were fighting, the other people from the Nalan family automatically gave way, as if to make way for their eldest son.
Perhaps in their perception, as long as their eldest son takes action, there is no reason why he cannot win.
But after half a cup of tea, all they saw were the flashing of swords and sabers, but no one had yet to decide the winner.
Chu Er went around behind them and started to attack. He really didn't expect that this group of people would act so quickly.
After all, the best time to attack is to wait until they are asleep. Unexpectedly, they couldn't even wait that little bit of time and just took action directly.
Chu Xi has been practicing martial arts hard during this period of time. Whether it is internal strength or sword moves, she has been practicing hard because she knows that the current situation does not wait for anyone, and any time cannot be wasted.
But even if she tried so hard, if she was really attacked by dozens of people, it would be impossible for her to avoid getting hurt unless her internal strength was the best in the world.
After dozens of moves, both Chu Xi and the eldest son of the Nalan family were injured.
Chu Xi had two cuts on his arm, but the eldest son of the Nalan family was not so lucky. He was injured in the right shoulder and back by Chu Xi's quick moves, with seven or eight cuts on his back.
Although there was no visible blood on the nightgown, the bloody smell was getting stronger and stronger.
Chu Xi took a few steps back, her ears moved slightly when she heard the noise behind her, and without turning her head back, she stabbed the other Nalan assassin who wanted to attack her from behind with a very accurate knife.
She only glanced at the fallen assassin calmly, and then turned her gaze back to the eldest son of the Nalan family, and said calmly, "You and I have no hatred, but we each serve our own masters. You don't want the entire Nalan family fortune to be lost on the Seventh Prince, right?"
As she spoke, her injured right hand was still bleeding. The blood flowed down along the sword in her hand, and then dripped onto the ground along the tip of the sword. Chu Xi heard the dripping sound, but was too lazy to care.
"You brought at least fifty or sixty people with you for this operation. Regardless of whether they are elites of your clan or not, they are all assassins that you have spent a lot of effort and financial resources to train. Now nearly half of them have been lost. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Because of Chu Xi's words, the eldest son of the Nalan family turned around to look at the situation around him. He had to say that what the prince Chu said was very pertinent.
The number of people who fell was not just nearly half, but clearly more than half.
Besides, these people were the elites of the Nalan family. They were killers that had been trained with several years of energy, time, and financial resources, and yet they died on this mission.
No, it should be said that, adding up the several times, the Nalan family has lost too many people in the task of killing Chu Qibai.
"As you said, we each serve our own master, there is nothing much to say." The eldest son of the Nalan family closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions.
