Chapter 38
Chapter 38 The Horsewoman
As the little princess of the Wang family of Beihai and a genius in Martial Arts born with the Wind Vein, Wang Yuetong was truly one of the core people among the younger generation in the family. Her importance, whether in status or potential, was self-evident. She was the person that must be protected under whatever situation.
Before, in Beihai Province, the most stable territory under Wang family of Beihai’s control, Wang Tianzong would send experts to protect his precious daughter. Today, Wang Yuetong was in Huating, a place under chaotic situation with dark forces stirring everywhere. How could he expose his beloved daughter to danger?
In Huating, the person responsible for Wang Yuetong’s safety was Enchantress.
Enchantress was the leader in charge of the curriculum group of disguise and lurk in the Sky Academy. She belonged to the High-level of the academy. Although not as distinguished as the president or director, she had the strength at the Peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm with room for improvement, which was enough to make sure that no one in the Sky Academy dared to ignore her.
As the core expert of the Wang family of Beihai, Enchantress gained absolute trust from Wang Tianzong. When she was in charge of Wang Yuetong’s safety, the entire Wang family of Beihai had nothing to worry about.
Enchantress spared no efforts in her job. It was early morning on the first day of the holiday. Not long after Wang Yuetong and Li Tianlan went out, she followed in a Hyundai. After making sure of their destination, she maintained an unreasonably far protective range. The distance between their cars was nearly one thousand meters.
This distance was far beyond the guarding area of anyone. But with the speed of her car and herself, she could still arrive on the scene in time to protect Wang Yuetong. According to Enchantress, this was the best protective distance.
Soon after Enchantress hit the road, she noticed with her keen observation that someone was following the beige Beetle. She glanced at the plate number. It was a Benz with Huating’s local plate number. The driver was very confident with his or her skill and strength, just like her, and kept a distance of at least seven or eight hundred meters from Wang Yuetong’s Beetle.
Enchantress accelerated for a while, attempting to make clear of the stalker in the Benz. But the film on the car window only allowed her to see a vague outline and long silky blond hair.
Is this someone from outside Zhongzhou State?
Enchantress’ attention was focused immediately, and her mood grew darker. But with second thought, she didn’t inform Wang Xiaoyao at the first time.
Wang Xiaoyao was accompanying Taoist Xuan Xuanzi who came to visit in Huating. This was also a big event with little margin for error. It was said that Xuan Xuanzi had the ability to control, to some degree, the fate of Zhongzhou State. Such a figure was definitely one of those that the outside enemies wanted to kill most.
Today, an assassin from suspicious foreign force was planning to make a move on the younger core of the Wang family of Beihai. What the organization had planned, without a doubt, must be very big. Who knew if their ultimate target was Wang Yuetong or Xuan Xuanzi?
If she informed Wang Xiaoyao right now, there could probably be some trouble. That was unnecessary.
Enchantress was confident with her strength. She believed that as long as it was not an Invincible Realm expert who could kill Wang Yuetong in a second, she was sure of protecting Wang Yuetong from anyone under the Invincible Realm.
She quietly followed closer to Wang Yuetong again, keeping a distance of about five hundred meters, and kept full alert on the Benz following behind.
The beige Beetle drove into the Garden Party. Enchantress parked her Hyundai on another road.
When they were about to enter the Lanshan National Park, the Benz following them all the way disappeared.
Enchantress sneered and didn’t bother to find it because her job was to keep Wang Yuetong safe. After Wang Yuetong returned to the Sky Academy, she could still investigate the stalker. It would waste some time. But after all, this was Zhongzhou State. With the family’s power, she didn’t have to worry about finding them as long as there was any clue.
She parked her car on the roadside not far from the Garden Party, and waited quietly.
Wang Yuetong had the family’s location and warning device on her. While the device was in operation, Enchantress could know about Wang Yuetong’s movement at any time.
Out of Enchantress’ expectation, Wang Yuetong and Li Tianlan came out so soon. Sitting in the car, Enchantress barely had enough time to finish her breakfast. Shortly afterwards, Wang Yuetong left the Garden Party. The car speed was not low.
Enchantress raised her eyebrows surprisingly and started the car.
There was a small forest several hundred meters wide between her location and Wang Yuetong’s road. The two cars would finally meet if she drove to the exit from here. Enchantress controlled the speed and followed not too close or too far.
When the two cars were approaching the intersection, the forest in between became narrower.
Being on full alert all the time, Enchantress finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she finished the breath, a huge bang came abruptly from the other road a hundred meters away.
Meanwhile, a red dot appeared on her wristwatch and was flashing quickly.
Her expression changed dramatically and she kicked open the car door almost instinctively. A vast piece of lightning flashed on the driving seat for a second and then disappeared. Her figure had already rushed into the forest.
A distance of more than a hundred meters was almost no distance at all for a Peak Thunder-shocking Realm expert at full speed.
Vast areas of lightning spread inside the forest, like thunder going through the sky. Enchantress’ body was almost unrecognizable. What was left on the way she passed was only the blinding and dazzling lightning.
A gunshot rose from inside the forest unexpectedly.
At the sound of the shot, Enchantress could tell it came from the streamer. The streamer didn’t have a terrible power, but was the fastest sniper rifle in existence. Its firing speed was almost more than twice that of the ordinary sniper rifle, which meant that even some experts might not have time to react before they were shot in the head.
Such sniper rifles were very handy on the battlefield when used to fight against elites in the Ice-condensing Realm. The willpower of most experts in this Realm was still under training. But it required extremely focused willpower and reaction speed to freeze ice and block bullets from a streamer. The streamer had a horrific firing speed. Such ballistic speed was beyond the reaction of many experts in the Ice-condensing Realm. Therefore, the streamer sniper rifle was also called Ice-condensing killer by the people in the Dark World.
But most ironically, this sniper rifle, which was obviously used to target Wang Yuetong, was developed by the Wang family of Beihai.
“They have no idea of death or danger!”
Enchantress was still advancing at full speed. Her eyes chilled all of a sudden and she accelerated again within a second.
The gunshot came from right ahead. It wouldn’t cause her to run farther. Besides, it wouldn’t take too much time to take care of those hiding in the darkness and shooting from the back. She could kill half dozen snipers with just the effort of waving her hand.
Enchantress had accelerated her speed to the utmost. She almost covered dozens of meters with only one jump. In a blink of an eye, she was in the place where the shot was fired.
But she didn’t make a move.
Her body, which had been sprinting at top speed, suddenly froze on the spot, and her pupils contracted to the utmost.
She looked extremely wild during the sprint, but turned utterly quiet in a second. However, the Enchantress at this moment seemed several times more dangerous than when she was sprinting.
This spot was near the roadside. Standing here, Enchantress could clearly make out Wang Yuetong and Li Tianlan standing on the ice stair, as well as the dozen ice swords howling in the air and the dozen attackers who rushed out from the roadside.
She only threw a quick glance over there and immediately turned all her attention before her.
“Who are you?”
She took a deep breath and asked slowly. Her entire body was tuned to the peak state within a short time, and her willpower was unprecedentedly concentrated.
Right in front of her.
A tall and big woman, plump and full of exotic charm, was standing with her back to her. The long blond hair was blowing lightly in the forest wind. She was carrying a streamer sniper rifle in her hand and watching the nearby battlefield with keen pleasure. She seemed totally unaware of the arrival of Enchantress.
In the battlefield, the ice swords flew back and forth.
The Sword Essence whistled in the air. A stream of thick Sword Essence was quickly taking shape, like tsunamis, like billows or like torrents.
“This is beautiful.”
The tall woman standing with her back at Enchantress admired in English. It was hard to tell whether she was praising Wang Yuetong or the unique technique of the Wang family of Beihai.
Enchantress’ expression grew more peaceful. She narrowed her eyes slightly and marched one step forward.
At this moment, she was in her peak state. Now that the woman didn’t want to turn back, Enchantress wouldn’t bother to talk trash. She planned to break through directly by force.
She was an assassin, a famous one in Zhongzhou State. Her reputation was almost no lower than that of those top assassins in Sigh City. One deadly attack from her was enough to kill anyone under the Invincible Realm instantly!
If the other one survived this attack, Enchantress would disappear from this world.
But if she couldn’t, the tall woman before her would die straight away, and Enchantress could break through without a hitch.
She focused her eyes, and the dazzling lightning was blooming from under her feet and spreading to her whole body. The strong momentum locked the opponent in the front tightly.
She took a second step.
Enchantress was going to attack.
The tall woman ahead, who had been watching the battlefield, seemed to notice the danger. She turned around slowly while carrying the gun, looked at Enchantress behind her and laughed in amazement, “Don’t you remember me? It looks like you’re going to put up a desperate fight with me?”
She said these in Chinese. But her mandarin was a little strange, with a trace of an obscure and exotic accent.
“It’s you?!”
Enchantress subconsciously paused her momentum, which had been accumulated to its peak value. But the next second, her killing intent grew more severe. “Are you going to kill Yuetong?”
“You were distracted just now. I could have killed you.”
The blond was still smiling. Her Chinese was not very good, so her expressions were as possibly simple and short. “But I didn’t.”
Judging from a man’s view, she was completely a real foreign lady. She was more than one hundred and eighty centimeters high, with a plump and curvy figure. Her face, even though not so delicate and attractive, revealed a kind of exotic attraction and charm.
Facing with the terrible momentum from Enchantress, she still didn’t have the slightest killing intent. There was only some playfulness reflected in her light blue eyes.
But Enchantress grew more and more angry. She couldn’t help but snorted. “You are a dignified and majestic heavenly king. How could you make a move on two juniors? Horsewoman, aren’t you shameless? So, are you planning to start a war with the Wang family of Beihai?”
