Chapter 108 Troubled Times - Chaotic Luoyang City
Cai Yan looked at the man who fainted on the ground. There was no hesitation or pity in her eyes. Without thinking much, she chopped his neck with a knife, and the body was separated in an instant.
The head rolled to the side, splashing blood and completely soaking Cai Yan's trouser legs.
Lei Dianzhen looked at Cai Yan, who was covered in a strong smell of blood, and stared at her deeply for a while, then slowly said:
"Let's find a place to wash up."
Cai Yan nodded numbly, then tore off the clothes of the person under her, casually wiped the long knife that was still dripping with blood, and led the way towards the home in her memory without saying a word.
Along the way, everyone saw a man covered in blood walking in the street, holding a long sword half his height in his hand. They hurriedly moved to the sides of the street, staring at Cai Yan with straight eyes and fear.
Not long after, Cai Yan and Lei Dianzhen arrived at a place full of ruins of bricks, tiles and rubble, with only a small half of the broken wall left standing at the entrance.
Cai Yan gazed at the home that once carried countless warmth and memories, but was now shattered by war, leaving only desolation and silence.
A flash of emotion suddenly crossed his originally lifeless eyes, and his thoughts went back to several years ago.
Before Dong Zhuo entered the capital, her father betrothed her to someone else, and she chose to hide secretly. She never expected that within a few months, she would starve the man to death. Later, when she returned home, she was beaten by her father and put in solitary confinement.
Looking at the home in front of me, the past days seem to be right in front of me, but now I am the only one returning alone.
A tear flashed in the corner of Cai Yan's eyes, and then she reached out to wipe it away and walked towards the inner courtyard. Among the brick and tile ruins, a covered well appeared before her eyes.
Just as she was about to take off her clothes to wash off the blood, a cool breeze suddenly blew over her. Looking at the ruins that were exposed all around her, Cai Yan blushed and turned to Lei Dianzhen and said,
"God, Zhao Ji plans to bathe here. Could you please cover her up?"
When Lei Dianzhen heard Cai Yan say this, his mind moved, and the bricks and stones around him instantly floated up. In a few breaths, he built a square small house to block the view of outsiders.
Lei Dianzhen quietly watched Cai Yan wash away the blood on her body. She took out some clean clothes from the cloth bag she carried with her and put them on. Then, Cai Yan walked up to Lei Dianzhen with a flushed face and said crisply:
"Sir God."
Lei Dianzhen stared at Cai Yan and saw that she looked lively. He wondered if she would still have such a lively smile after truly experiencing the cruelty of the world.
Then he also gave up the idea of training Cai Yan to be Man Sui. The two of them were completely different. When Man Sui was still a girl, her heart was already full of the shadow of the master.
Cai Yan grew up alone. When she was over ten years old, she experienced the chaos in the world. After her father's death, she struggled to survive alone.
Cai Yan has much more autonomy than Man Sui.
Then, with an idea in mind, he untied the brick and stone house and said:
"There's no time to lose, let's get going as soon as possible!"
As the rubble hut collapsed, revealing a ruin, Cai Yan took a last, deep look at her home. She then took the last of her dowry, a cloth bag containing only a few gold cakes, tied it to her shoulder, picked up her long knife, and turned to head towards the Nanshi in her memory.
Cai Yan looked at the once prosperous Luoyang, which had now become a ruin. She stepped on pieces of rubble, occasionally revealing bones, which made her take a detour. She couldn't help but hate Dong Zhuo in her heart.
swoosh~
From a corner near a broken wall, a sharp arrow shot out without warning, flying straight towards Cai Yan's arm holding a long sword.
In an instant, a purple ripple appeared in the air, and the arrow shot onto the energy shield formed by the condensed power of lightning.
"pat"
With a crisp sound, the arrow fell to the ground helplessly.
Cai Yan, who was walking in front, noticed the movement coming from the right, and then her face changed. She quickly turned her head to look at the direction where the arrows came from. Four thin men were hiding behind them, one of them holding a bow and arrow and a ring-handled sword, and the others were holding spears.
He looked extremely vicious.
Cai Yan frowned, her heart full of doubts:
"Why are there soldiers here with standard weapons?"
But since the other party has attacked me, I can't stay!
I recall that more than ten years ago, I went to Cao's house and saw my father's disciple Cao Mengde and his cousin teaching martial arts to the eldest son. At that time, I felt that I had nothing to do, so I watched in their backyard for several months.
Recalling the martial arts of the long sword, memories that he had not thought about for more than ten years awakened in his mind. He then grasped the long sword tightly and rushed towards the four people behind the broken wall.
Behind the wall, Zhou Wei, holding a bow and arrow, looked at the fallen arrow in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion:
"I clearly aimed at her arm! Could this woman be wearing inner armor?"
Looking at Cai Yan who was still more than ten steps away from him, he unwillingly put the bowstring on the arrow again, pulled the string, let go and the arrow flew straight towards Cai Yan's chest.
"Clap!"
With another sound, the arrow fell to the ground again. Before Zhou Wei could gather his strength again, Cai Yan had already arrived in front of the four people with a long sword in her hand.
Immediately, three spears stabbed towards Cai Yan fiercely, and with the flash of three purple spots of light, the three spears were blocked in front of her.
At this moment, the man in front of him seized the opportunity and slashed Cai Yan's right arm fiercely with the ring-handled knife. However, the expected damage did not occur. A fourth purple light spot appeared in front of Cai Yan, blocking the four attacks.
"what is this?"
Zhou Wei, holding a ring-handled sword, stared blankly at the scene before him:
"The Yellow Turban warrior? Invulnerable to swords and spears! But Zhang Jue of the Taiping Dao died long ago!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the man in front of her was stunned, Cai Yan's eyes flashed, she raised the long knife in her hand, tensed her forearm, and burst out with amazing strength. She swung the knife, and the knife flashed, and instantly beheaded the man in front of her.
Before Zhou Wei had time to think about anything, he was hit by eternal darkness and completely lost consciousness.
Blood splattered everywhere, splashing a few drops of blood on Cai Yan's face. Then, she turned around and slashed at the other man on the left without hesitation.
puff!
Another round object fell to the ground.
As the two companions died in the blink of an eye, the remaining two men looked at the scene in horror as if they had seen a ghost.
Then he threw away the spear in his hand without hesitation and ran desperately towards the back.
