Chapter 447: No One Backed Down, No One Begged for Mercy!

At that moment when she had heard that Second Elder was injured, Ling Chuxi felt a heart-wrenching pain as if her heart was torn apart. Bandits? Not to mention that this was the suburbs of the capital nearby. Where did these bandits come from? Even if they were really bandits, how was it impossible to withstand them with the cultivation of Second Elder and Fifth Elder? And in the end they were forced to send someone over to ask for help?

Furthermore, the Ling family had long suppressed both the Qin and Luo clans with the help of the Lan family. They had gained a firm foothold at Shi Qu Town. Because of Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen, not to mention within Nan Xia Country, they were relatively reputable in the few neighboring big vassal countries. Their financial situation was also considered quite prosperous. How was it possible that they had not employed an expert to escort two of the elders who were going on a journey? How was it possible that they were really just bandits when even they were powerless?

Her parents were not around since young and her brother had gone on a far journey. The Second Elder was actually the only relative by her side. As she remembered the Second Elder’s face which was full of affection, and as she remembered everything that he had done for her, there was a flicker of tears in her eyes. She was even completely unaware of the streaks of blood stains that were left on her hands from clenching tightly onto the horse reins.

Finally, the sturdy horse that was under Ling Yichen could no longer endure the long distance galloping and collapsed onto the ground with a sad neigh. Ling Yichen flung his body up without waiting for the sturdy horse to collapse on the ground. And he ran ahead with an even greater speed.

It was as if it was infectious. The horses that Ling Chuxi and Fu Chengyu rode on also collapsed from lethargy one after the other. The both of them, like Ling Yichen, had initiated their Battle Qi and rushed ahead at full speed.

The clanging sounds of knives and swords drifted in the night skies and it was so clear in the night. Ling Chuxi and the few of them felt refreshed. As long there were sounds of knives and swords, it meant that it was still not over yet and they were still in time. They followed the sound and pressed on ahead speedily and they could see corpses lying by the road from time to time. At one glance, Ling Chuxi could see that some of them were the disciples of the Ling family, but the figures of both elders were not there.

The winds were howling at the wilderness by the roadside. There were about ten men who had their backs toward the mountain rocks and they were surrounding a carriage by the side. They held knives and swords in their hands and was on full guard to protect the person in the carriage.

The carriage was fragmented and broken. Who knew where the canopy on top went to and there was only a wooden plank that remained slanted on the frame of the carriage which had collapsed into half. An elder lay in the carriage and clasped his chest. His breathe was as if hanging by a thread and fresh blood was oozing out between his fingers. It was the Second Elder. And those who were holding swords and guarding outside were the Fifth Elder and few other disciples of the Ling family.

There were near hundreds of rough looking men in short shirts holding knives and swords in their hands outside slashing at them cruelly. From their clothing, it was indeed the attire of bandits. But were there really bandits with such strong cultivation in this world?

“Old Five, you should leave first. You don’t have to bother about me.” Second Elder propped up his body with much difficulty as Fifth Elder roared. Looking at this situation, they could not retreat any further. Perhaps there might still be somewhat of an opportunity to escape with the skills of the Fifth Elder.

“Second Elder Brother, when have you seen me escaping from the battle front since we were young? We shall either leave together today or I will accompany you to our deaths.” Fifth Elder raised his sword. Although the hair on both of his temples had turned grey, yet his pride was still not reduced even by half a bit.

“Kill!” Fifth Elder shouted loudly and slashed at one of the enemies nearby. A nearby opponent was split into two halves by the sword between the flashes of the cold light. He spat out fresh blood onto the Fifth Elder’s whole body and face. Yet his appearance was even more majestic.

At the same time, ten plus disciples of the Ling family also held their swords respectively and protected the Second Elder from the front. They killed their enemies that had rushed forward into pieces with the help of the cover from the mountain rocks.

Young bodies collapsed onto the ground one after another in the midst of those tragic screams.

There was not even one of them that backed down, and there not even one of them that begged for mercy. Although those young disciples of the Ling family had been shocked till their faces were covered in tear stains, they did not take a single step backward as well.
