Chapter 135: Taken Down with One Slash
A fierce wind cut through the air as Shangguan Qingqing, clad in deep crimson, surged forward with True Qi flowing beneath her feet, her entire figure practically becoming a streaking red afterimage.
Her spirited and pretty face was taut with urgency and cold resolve.
Her throwing knives flew out in a relentless electric stream, and though the True Qi armor condensed on the surface of Sha Wenshan and the other two's bodies continued to deflect them, she kept striking without let-up.
But just then, from beneath the eaves of a nearby shop, a fierce streak of sword light suddenly burst forth.
The young man in white shot out with explosive speed, his gaze ice-cold. The sword edge in his hand thrust out sharply, the blade light condensing into a single white gleam, like the flickering tongue of a viper, sweeping toward Shangguan Qingqing's throat.
Shangguan Qingqing's expression changed in an instant, and she pulled up short, leaning quickly back to dodge the killing strike that had appeared from nowhere.
Then she raised her hand and sent two throwing knives shooting toward the young man in white's face.
The young man in white pulled his sword back to deflect them at once. A jarring clang of metal on metal rang out as the knives were batted away one after the other.
He let out a contemptuous cold laugh, saying, "With your level of ability, you think you can rescue someone from under my father's hands? Stay right here."
