The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Chapter 134 The killing moment

Cang Yue State Official Road

The rainy season is nature's gift of moisture and vitality to the earth.

The next morning, the rain was still falling lightly. Because we had been playing Werewolf the night before and had gone crazy, and it didn't end until almost dawn, everyone was sleeping.

Ye Ling woke up because she had to pee. After getting up to do it, she couldn't fall asleep again. She knew that everyone was sleeping at the moment, so it must be very quiet outside, so she thought about going out to see the beautiful scenery.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Ling, holding an umbrella, tiptoed to the river. The river was now significantly higher than before. The entire camp was peaceful and beautiful. The green grass, nurtured by the rain, grew even more lush and lush, and the flowers blossomed with vibrant colors. Besides Ye Ling and his companions, several other families had set up camp not far away. After all, these were desolate mountains, and with wolves roaming, it was safer to camp in a group.

Ye Ling strolled along the river, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. This was the most healing moment in the world of the book.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery, she also noticed something wrong. After a little thought, she returned to the camp and waved to the person on duty.

A guard from the Human Hall, wearing a straw raincoat, trotted up to Ye Ling and asked, "Secretary, what are your instructions?"

Ye Ling pointed to a place not far away: "I remember there was a group of people camping there yesterday evening, about five or six."

"If you remember correctly, there were indeed five or six, both men and women," the guard replied.

"What about people?"

"I left, just left a short while ago"

"It's raining so hard and the road is so slippery, and they left?" Ye Ling had a bad feeling.

"Well... maybe they had something urgent to do and drove their carriage back."

"Returned?"

"Yes, they came from the opposite side of us and returned the same way this morning."

Ye Ling felt increasingly uneasy and quickly walked towards Meng Jing's tent: "Where is your young lady?"

"Sleeping," Taozi replied.

Ye Ling handed the umbrella to the guard and entered the tent, only to find that there was no one on the bed. "Isn't your young lady sleeping?"

"This...I...I took a nap and then..." Taozi was frightened.

"It's over," Ye Ling said as he rushed out the door. Using his Qinggong skills, he flew to his horse and quickly put on the saddle. Before leaving, he shouted, "What are you standing there for? Tell my brother, go..."

Ye Ling spurred her horse forward, chasing after him on the official road. She was terribly anxious, hoping Meng Jing was still alive. Otherwise, Langya Pavilion would be in big trouble this time. Mo Yufeng might even be dismissed, and she would be no exception. Although she was a dispensable official, she couldn't let Langya Pavilion be affected. After all, now that she had broken off relations with the Nangong family, she had to rely on Langya Pavilion. And her master, the one who gave her the ability to survive, was definitely not to be ignored.

Mo Yufeng, Jiuyou and others were awakened from their sleep. They quickly rode on horseback to chase after them and left the camp to Zhuang Yi to take care of.

Ye Ling ran wildly without daring to stop. The horse's hooves kept slipping on the wet ground, but she didn't care.

After running for a while, Ye Ling suddenly braked, looked back, and dismounted. Seeing fresh horse hoof prints on the grass, she thought to herself: The road is so slippery, these people must have known that we would be chased, so they left from here, and the carriage was just a cover.

Thinking of this, Ye Ling followed the horseshoe prints into the grass, and sure enough, after a few steps, she picked up a pure gold hairpin. She was very familiar with this ornament, as it belonged to the nouveau riche Meng Jing. But she was worried that she had found the wrong one. After weighing the pros and cons, she made a decision to throw the hairpin in the middle of the official road, because she knew Mo Yufeng would arrive soon, so she asked them to chase him along the official road, which would be a double insurance.

After throwing the hairpin, Ye Ling immediately mounted her horse and followed the horseshoe prints to chase after him.

As soon as Ye Ling disappeared behind the hill, Mo Yufeng and Jiuyou arrived. They saw the golden hairpin as expected. They did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly chased after her along the official road.

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Yufeng and the others caught up with the carriage.

The Nine Nether Sword was clamped around the driver's neck: "Tell me, where is the person with you?"

The driver was trembling with fear: "They... they got off the carriage before they had gone far and rode into the meadow... told... told me to drive the carriage and not to look back..."

"Who are they? How many people are there?" Mo Yufeng asked.

"I don't know. I'm just a groom. They came to the horse shop fifteen days ago and paid a high price to rent a carriage. They also asked me to drive. There were five of them in total, and it seemed... it seemed that they were all men."

"Are you kidding me? What do you mean by 'looks like a man'?" Mo Yufeng asked sternly.

"Two of them are wearing women's clothes, but...but I think they are men." The driver was almost scared to death.

"Did a woman ride by on horseback just now?" Jiuyou was only concerned about Ye Ling.

“No, I haven’t seen it.”

Mo Yufeng tied the driver to the horse pulling the cart and said, "Take us to where they get off the cart, or I'll kill you."

"Okay, okay," the driver quickly agreed.

The three of them rushed back without stopping.

On the other side, Ye Ling followed the horse hoof prints and kept picking up items dropped by Meng Jing on the way. She came to a forest of huge rocks. In order not to alert the enemy, she tied the horse outside and used the light skill "Dragon Walking on Snow" to search. This light skill was silent when landing and was very suitable for use at this time.

At the same time, in a cave formed by several huge rocks, Meng Jing was trembling with fear, hugging her knees, staring in horror at the five men who were discussing something.

The eldest brother at the entrance of the cave said, "Third brother, let's kill him to avoid any complications."

"That's right, I told you to just do it in the tent, but Third Brother insisted on getting a job done. If we fail, how are we going to explain to the employer?" said the Fourth Brother.

"Shut up!" The third brother said unhappily, "Every time I bring a woman home, you guys are always unhappy. But in the end, don't you just play along?"

"Third brother is right," said the fifth brother. "I thought it would be hard to get her, but those idiots played all night and went to sleep. By the time they found out, we brothers would have had our fun. It wouldn't be too late to kill this little girl!"

"Yes, yes, haha..."

"How dare you?" Meng Jing was almost scared to death: "Do you know what my father does? He won't let you go."

“Haha…” The fifth brother laughed loudly: “Brothers, did you hear me? I won’t let us go, haha… Little girl, when I killed your brother, he said the same thing, and what happened? How powerful is your father? He still needs to be escorted by those self-righteous losers from Langya Pavilion when he goes out, haha…”

"Little girl, your brothers will take good care of you, haha..." The third brother showed a lewd smile.

Meng Jing was so frightened that her face turned pale. At this moment, she really cried out to the heavens and the earth, but no one answered her: "Get out of here."

At the critical moment, there was a loud bang, and Ye Ling broke through the rock from the top of the cave and landed in front of Meng Jing, holding two swords and looking at them with a teasing look on his face.

The five ghosts were also shocked. They didn't expect someone to come so soon.

When "Night Envoy" Meng Jing saw Ye Ling, tears of excitement came to his eyes.

"Hey, here comes another little girl, two are even better." Lao Wu pounced on Ye Ling with a lewd smile.

"Hide." Ye Ling dodged Lao Wu's attack and slashed at him with the knife in his hand.

Lao Wu didn't expect Ye Ling to be so fast, and quickly raised his weapon to resist, but was still kicked away by Ye Ling.

Seeing this, the other four ghosts attacked and surrounded Ye Ling. However, Ye Ling remained calm and fought one against five, surprisingly not losing the upper hand.

"Come on together!" the third brother shouted. The five of them worked in perfect harmony and were indeed very difficult to deal with.

Meng Jing obediently hid behind the innermost stone.

Ye Ling's figure was as elusive as a ghost, and she wielded her two swords with impenetrable force, each strike carrying a fierce killing intent. Her movements were as fast as lightning, making it difficult for the four ghosts to grasp her.

She dodged one ghost's attack by leaning sideways, and at the same time, she swung her two swords and chopped off the arm of another ghost. The ghost screamed, and blood splattered on his arm.

Ye Ling seized the opportunity to pursue the enemy, striking with both swords in rapid succession, forcing the Five Ghosts to retreat. Her eyes were cold, filled with murderous intent, sending shivers down one's spine.

Seeing Ye Ling's formidable strength, the five ghosts felt a little intimidated. But they were evil ghosts after all, and they wouldn't back down easily. They exchanged glances, then attacked simultaneously, hoping to defeat Ye Ling in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Ye Ling's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain. She pushed hard with both feet, leaped high into the air, and her two swords arced in the air, then spun headfirst and slashed towards the Five Ghosts.

The five ghosts quickly raised their weapons to block, but Ye Ling's power was too great for them to resist. With a few "crackling" sounds, the weapons of the four ghosts broke one after another, and they were also hit by Ye Ling's two swords and fell to the ground.

Ye Ling fell to the ground, looked at the five ghosts lying on the ground, and said coldly: "Just you guys think you can kill me? These legendary five ghosts are nothing more than that! They are just a name in vain."

Meng Jing then trembled as she emerged from behind the rock. She came to Ye Ling's side, grabbed her arm, and trembled all over. "Thank you for saving me in time. Thank you, thank you."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Aren't you the daughter of a bandit? Are you afraid of this?"

"Even the daughter of a bandit is afraid of gangsters. I don't know martial arts, so how can I be as powerful as you? I have heard of these five ghosts. My father sent people to kill them a long time ago. Except for Langya Pavilion, no one in the world dares to take on this business," Meng Jing said in a low voice.

"Junior Sister/Senior Sister" Mo Yufeng and Jiuyou entered the cave at the same time, and both were stunned by the scene before them.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, senior brother. Your dart is intact. You owe me another favor!" Ye Ling said with a smile.

"It's whatever amount you say you owe." Mo Yufeng was almost scared to death this time. If something happened to Meng Jing in his hands, it would be like the sky falling.

"Killed in one blow," Jiuyou said after checking the wound.

Mo Yufeng quickly checked the wounds of several people and was immediately shocked: "Junior sister, you killed five people with one move? These are the Five Ghosts! How do you have such strong internal energy?"

"She just spun around headfirst and killed five of them in an instant." Meng Jing sincerely admired Ye Ling. She would be her idol from now on.

"You..." Mo Yufeng stared at Ye Ling for a long time, unable to speak: "Are you on the same level as Master?"

"Well, I'm not sure about that. You'll know after you see Master and compete with him! Let's go, we'll talk about other things when we get back." Ye Ling said with a smile. She knew very well in her heart that just now she was confused and the space suddenly improved its ability. Coupled with the internal force of the Dragon-Traveling Technique that she practiced secretly, the combination of the two is naturally beyond ordinary people.
