Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
chapter-309

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Long’s plan was executed as scheduled.

Liu Suifeng was quite calm, showing no concern about himself, while Ouyang Chuan did worry about Liu Suifeng’s security very much.

The killers in the Eastern Darkness went to absurd lengths to finish their duties and he knew it better than anyone. Therefore, he couldn’t stand by and watch.

However, facing his concern, Lui Suifeng just smiled, “Brother, don’t worry. I won’t risk my life. You know, no one could stop me if I want to leave.”

Ouyang Chuan frowned, and he couldn’t help but roll his eyes to Lui Suifeng, “Just be careful.”

“Fine.” Liu Suifeng compromised, immediately and flatteringly, “Just to make sure that I’m not careless, but I don’t want you to worry so much.”

Ouyang Chuan compressed his lips and didn’t say anything.

Afterward, as Long planned, Liu Suifeng worked with Ouyang Chuan at the beginning, but soon, he sometimes took actions alone. And he usually acted like… he was looking for something!

“Dao Zi, Liu Suifeng keeps the sacred relic on him, right?” One man in black asked his partner in a low voice.

His partner nodded for certain, “Yes, it’s on him. But, Ling Shan, will it be a trap?”

The man, who was called Ling Shan, sneered, “So what? We have to bring the sacred relic back. Otherwise, the princess won’t let us go.”

Dao Zi took a quick think after he heard Ling Shan’s words, “You’re right. We have to keep going on, even though it’s a trap. Besides, it’s a good time right now. As long as we do it as quickly as we can, grab Liu Suifeng, and take the sacred relic away, it doesn’t matter if we get trapped. We have no choice now.”

“Yeah,” Ling Shan took a deep breath, “We have no choice now. So we must go on even it’s a trap!”

Soon, Liu Suifeng suffered an assassination on the way when he went to the outer city alone.

The killers all came furiously!

“Liu Suifeng!” said Dao Zi, who suddenly appeared in front of Liu Suifeng in black, “Give me the sacred relic, or you’ll be killed.”

“Oh?” Liu Suifeng raised his eyebrows chicly, “Who are you? And what’s the sacred relic you’re talking about? I never heard it. How about you tell me more about it, and maybe I will remember something.”

“You already lost your chance!” Dao Zi shouted, loudly. Then, he directly rushed over, trying to attack him.

At this time, no one could help Liu Suifeng. And even Liu never thought that he would meet the siege of around 30 killers. Therefore, after a quick think, Liu Suifeng realized that the only thing he needed to do was to break out as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Liu Suifeng was a great warrior and was pretty good at the lightness skill.

Thus, Liu Suifeng still could spot a flaw and find a way to escape in this case, though they gathered so many superiors to attack him.

Afterward, Liu Suifeng wasted no time fighting, just ran away quickly.

“Catch him!” Dao Zi and Ling Shan ordered at the same time.

Meanwhile, a gloomy and cold smile appeared on Liu Suifeng’s face as he heard their yelling. Then, Liu Suifeng immediately ran toward the place where he had agreed with Ouyang Chuan.

All these days, he was ‘hanging out’ actually on purpose. Many follow-up plans were already prepared. Besides, the place he was heading for had his men lied in ambush waiting to catch them all.

And what he needed to do right now was to lure the enemy in deep.

“Hurry up!” Dao Zi seemed to sense the true intention of Liu Suifeng, so he tried to catch Liu Suifeng as soon as possible.

However, it couldn’t make anyone speed up just by a simple slogan of ‘Hurry up’.

Moreover, Liu Suifeng was a master of lightness skill and he even moved forward not in a straight line but in a curve way like a flash.

Few killers tried to use the concealed weapons to bother him.

But the distance between them was too far to be reached by their concealed weapons. Even some of the concealed weapons had reached Liu Suifeng, he still could easily avoid away.

As the result, Liu Suifeng even moved faster under the threat of the concealed weapons.

Dao Zi and Ling Shan made eye contact. At this time, they already realized that they had fallen into a trap, which was exactly prepared for them earlier. But now, they just got more than 20 people left.

Like an arrow on the bowstring, they had no way to step back.

Thus, they had to move on, although there was a trap waiting for them.

After all, even if they could luckily survive during the battle with Long and his men, they would still be killed by the princess when they came back due to their failure.

As they all know, their princess wasn’t a nice and kind person.

Instead, he would ruthlessly punish the people who couldn’t finish the duty.

The only choice for Dao Zi and Ling Shan was to chase, never looked back.

Finally, Liu Suifeng arrived at the place where an ambush had been made and successfully converged with Ouyang Chuan.

Ouyang Chuan flew up and rushed to Liu Suifeng as soon as they saw each other, so did Liu Suifeng.

Holding Liu’s waist with his arms, Ouyang Chuan asked tensely, “Are you okay?”

Liu Suifeng smiled at him, answered, “Take it easy, dude. I’m okay.”

But Ouyang Chuan still couldn’t rest assured and looked at him up and down until he confirmed that Liu Suifeng didn’t get any hurt.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Guardians who had been waiting for a long time now had also rushed forward.

With their help, it was the time now for Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan to fight against the enemies, having no additional worries.

Suddenly, one of the killers took out a flute blowing.

As the flute sounded, there was a hiss soon echoed around…

“Snake!” someone in the Shadow Guardians shouted.

Liu Suifeng’s eyes became cold, and then, he raised his sword up and quickly cut down. The snake which moved fastest was cut into two pieces.

However, the number of snakes increased faster. Especially, some of them were vipers.

Ouyang Chuan also rushed forward as Liu Suifeng cut the snake, but his target was not the snake but the man who was blowing the flute.

And of course, he was stopped by the other killers.

But obviously, the killers had underestimated Ouyang Chuan’s power.

All the killer who tried to stop him was killed by him as soon as they approached him.

Besides, there were still many Shadow Guardians assisting him. With Shadow Guardians’ help, it took a very short time for Ouyang Chuan to arrive at the flute player, and in quick succession, his sword hacked toward him.

That killer had a quick reaction and he retreated immediately, ran away from Ouyang Chuan’s sword. But he was not lucky enough.

He didn’t steer by when Ouyang Chuan attacked again.

Now Ouyang Chuan had approached him from behind and blocked his way to back up. Soon, he got injured.

But clearly, what Ouyang Chuan wanted was not just to hurt him, but kill him. So, the next second, Ouyang Chuan moved closer to him.

Realizing that he was about to be killed by Ouyang Chuan, that killer decided to give the last struggle.

All at once, he put the flute before his lips and then blew… Soon, a harsher and louder sound was heard. It just lasted for only several seconds before that killer was killed by Ouyang Chuan, but all the snakes who were originally attacking them suddenly became crazier and launched a fiercer attack!

They had no idea that if the snakes were in this place all the time, or attracted by that killer.

Anyway, the suicidal attack of the snakes finally made Shadow Guardians suffer a loss.

To the one who hadn’t been bit on the fatal part of the body, Liu Suifeng could still save his life with the antitoxic pills, but the others would immediately die once they got bit on the fatal part like the blood vessel.

Soon, they lost four Shadow Guardians.

Liu Suifeng got extremely angry at this moment. He raised his sword high and cut to the snakes constantly.

By now, Dao Zi yelled, “Back up!”

“Back up? No way!” Ouyang Chuan had already fallen crazy after he watched the Shadow Guardians die before him. Therefore, he quickly caught up as soon as he heard Dao Zi’s yelling.

In the end, Dao Zi was attacked by Ouyang Chuan’s sword and died.

Ling Shan ran away by luck under several killers’ cover…
