Chapter 36
Evenings in the Spring were a little cold and breezy, and the streets were still.
Liu Rushuang stood on the roof with both hands behind her, not moving an inch. Her eyes could pierce the dark clouds, as she looked up at the barely visible moon.
*Phwoosh… Phwoosh…*
The strange and shady sound of the breeze against Liu Rushuang’s clothes rang endlessly.
All of a sudden, Liu Rushuang averted her gaze toward the direction of the imperial palace.
The people sent to assassinate her had finally arrived!
She noticed a large horde of people dressed in black from a distance dart towards her in the sky. Not a single trace of fear lingered in Liu Rushuang’s eyes.
On the contrary, a sinister smile formed in the corner of her mouth, and a glow of excitement surfaced her eyes.
She hasn’t been able to kill unrelentlessly for a while and because of this, her whole body has been feeling a little uncomfortable!
The energy of the men dressed in black rose, as they screamed, “Yes, Captain!”
“Kill…” the men cried enthusiastically. As they flew towards Liu Rushuang on the roof in front of them, they held swords made of blue inner breath in their palms.
The swords were already as ice-cold as water in Spring, but their sizes were adjusted so that its destructive power was greater than an iron sword made by a blacksmith.
This required a strong sense of control over their abilities and sufficient inner breath powers.
Liu Rushuang watched the vicious bee-like swarm of guards in black flew towards her and coldly cried, “You’ve really overestimated yourselves!”
Then, she reached her slender right hand out and raised it up to the side of the countless fireballs. Her fingers gently swiped aside like was playing with the air.
In an instant, a fireball as big as a palm flew forward.
“Ah!!” Shrieked the guards in black furthest ahead, before they dropped onto the roof.
