The Three Spirit Stones

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yu had been in Luoyang for nearly two months. He saw that the disaster relief work was gradually on track and the people were returning to normal life in an orderly manner.

That day, he was just packing his luggage to return to Bianjing when he heard a burst of noise outside.

"Go see what's going on?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis,"

The guard took the order and went out. After a while, he ran back in shock and reported to Cheng Yu, "My Lord, Madam Yue is in trouble, and Shopkeeper Sun is seriously injured."

"What?!!"

When Cheng Yu heard this, he was shocked and angry. He stood up and walked out immediately. He saw a man covered in blood being carried in by a door panel.

His name is Sun Liang. He is a servant of the Sun family and helps Sun Yuechan with the accounting.

Seeing Cheng Yu, Sun Liang became excited and wanted to say something, but his throat was gurgling and he couldn't speak.

Cheng Yu estimated that he had injured his lungs and the blood had rushed up his throat. He slapped him on the back and forced his Qi into his body. Sun Liang spurted out a large mouthful of black blood with a "puff". After taking a few breaths, he cried to Cheng Yu,

"Wow! ... My Lord, please save my lady! My Lord, wow!"

"Don't worry, explain the matter clearly,"

Cheng Yu asked someone to help him sit sideways. He took a breath and said, "Yes, our convoy was returning a few days ago. When we arrived at Wutai, Ah Hu and his men felt something was wrong. Just when we were about to be on guard, nearly a hundred people suddenly rushed out. We immediately drew our weapons and started fighting them."

"But...but I didn't expect that those people were not only powerful in martial arts, but also wore armor under their clothes. We couldn't defeat them at all. Ah Hu and Ah Wei fought desperately to protect the lady...but they were still killed, and the lady was also captured by them...uh,"

"They stabbed me and thought I was dead. Luckily I had a few account books on my chest so I escaped. I sneaked back when it was dark and they were dealing with the bodies and not noticing... woo woo!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, sad and angry.

The victims were their friends and acquaintances. They had been working and joking together a few days ago. Now they were killed. How could this not make people sad?

"My Lord, since everyone is wearing armor, they are probably not ordinary assassins. I suspect they are from the army."

Li Dacao, the chief of the imperial guards, said,

"Um,"

Cheng Yu was also furious. The people he sent to protect Sun Yuechan were all carefully selected top-notch fighters, but now they were all taken down. Just thinking about it, he knew that the person behind this was someone powerful.

But since you dare to provoke me?

No matter how powerful you are, I will make you regret being a human being!

"Come here, ask the doctor to treat Sun Liangliang's injury. I need to go out for a while."

After saying this, he went back to the house, picked up his sword and was about to go out.

The guards were terrified when they saw this and quickly stopped him, saying, "My Lord, are you going to rescue the lady alone?"

"Absolutely not. At least gather all the brothers together. There are hundreds of them."

"Yes, yes,"

Cheng Yu was furious. He said with a dark face, "You don't have to stop me. I want to see which bastard dares to be so bold."

Everyone wanted to stop them, but Cheng Yu shouted "Back off," and a strong wind forced everyone back more than ten steps.

Just when people were at a loss as to what to do, Cheng Yu had disappeared. Li Dachao and his men chased after him and saw that he had ridden on a fast horse and ran away, leaving only his back.

……

……

At the edge of a cliff, a crooked tree grew diagonally. A woman was hanging on the trunk, dangling from it. Below her was a bottomless abyss.

She is Sun Yuechan, she licks her cracked lips,

Her intuition told her that these people's target should be Cheng Yu, and she was just a bait, a bait to lure him into the trap.

She wasn't sure when someone would come to save her. She only knew that she was numb all over, cold and hungry.

She thought, if I died, would this man be sad?

Maybe!

After all, after living together for so many years, it would be sad if a dog at home dies!

But time will dilute everything. In this world, even if there are couples who truly love each other, there are many men who remarry immediately after their wife dies. What's more, he doesn't love me. Men are very realistic!

…Who would be the saddest if I died?

It should be my parents! But my father has so many children, he shouldn't be sad for long.

As for my mother,

...Alas! At his age, he is still thinking about competing for favor with those three concubines. Tsk!

While she was daydreaming, there was a sudden commotion on the opposite cliff. A familiar figure was fighting with the group of black-clad killers who were trying to capture her. She recognized that the figure was Cheng Yu.

Sun Yuechan was extremely surprised!

He actually came to save himself alone?

From a distance, one could only see his figure floating, moving in and out of the crowd like a ghost, so fast that it was hard to see clearly. Wherever he went, several men in black would fall down.

Even so, these men in black continued to charge forward. They were warriors of death and they were not afraid of death.

They cooperated with each other, either in groups of three, attacking Cheng Yu from top, middle and bottom, or in groups of two, attacking from the front and back. The rest would seize the opportunity and rush forward to give him a fatal blow as soon as he showed a flaw. They used all means, including swords, spears and clubs, as well as arrows and hidden weapons.

But Cheng Yu's movements were so fast that before the killers could stab out with their swords, he would suddenly appear in another place to continue reaping lives. After a while, a large number of people fell to the ground.

Sun Yuechan was stunned and her scalp went numb!

Is this his true strength?

How many secrets has he kept from himself?

I've known him for so many years, but I didn't know his martial arts were so terrifying!

He hid it really well!

You have to know that these are death warriors!

Death warriors are more terrifying than killers. Killers kill for money, so you may have a chance of survival if you encounter them, but if you are entangled by death warriors, it is either you or me who will die.

Death warriors are not something that ordinary powerful people can support. They need to select talented people from a large number of children, train and brainwash them from a young age, and through constant elimination, make them develop the habit of unconditional obedience to their masters. This process is extremely cruel and requires a lot of financial and material resources.

Some aristocratic families also have the habit of raising death warriors in case of emergencies, but the number is not too large.

There may not be many people in the entire Song Dynasty who can mobilize so many death warriors. It seems that this person not only has enormous power, but is also determined to kill Cheng Yu today.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came to her ears.

“Tsk tsk!”

"This is amazing! Is this still a human being?"

"Madam Hou! Your master is so scary, aren't you afraid?"

"Anyway, we are scared. We will be restless until he dies."

Sun Yuechan turned her head suddenly when she heard the sound. When she saw clearly, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice kiln.

At some point, a masked man in black stood by the crooked tree. He was holding a gleaming dagger and cutting the rope that bound her with it while speaking...

"Husband..."

With a shrill cry, Sun Yuechan fell into the abyss like a weight. In a flash, Cheng Yu jumped off the cliff right after her and flew towards her like a meteor.

Soon, he caught the rapidly falling Sun Yuechan, while his other hand climbed on the rock.

Just as he was about to take a breath and jump up, there were several explosions from the rocks above.

"Rumble..."

Countless large rocks mixed with gravel rained down on them.

"Fuck,"

He cursed inwardly, hugged Sun Yuechan tightly, and at the same time released his Yuanling Qi to form a protective shield around the two of them, and then fell to the bottom of the cliff along with countless stones.
