Chapter 368: 201: Self-Rescue! The Kiss of Ashi Liren!_3

This was a girl of about six or seven, who at the moment was helping her parents weed in the wheat field. Seeing the thirteen assassins trampling the wheat sprouts, the adults were so intimidated by their presence that they dared not speak. The child, fearless, called out loud.

The little girl’s face was covered in dirt, her body thin and frail, her eyes large and bright, shining with stubborn defiance.

Upon hearing her scolding the thirteen assassins, her parents were greatly alarmed and quickly covered her mouth and forced her to kneel down.

"Please forgive us, esteemed ones, please forgive us," the little girl’s parents pleaded as they knelt in the wheat field, continually kowtowing.

"I won’t kneel, it’s clearly their fault, they are the bad guys," the little girl said stubbornly.

The leading assassin stopped, rode his horse up to the family of three, and looked down at the little girl with mocking eyes.

"Let me tell you something, weakness is the original sin," the chief assassin said coldly.

"Whoosh, whoosh..." With two lightning-fast slashes of his sword, the chief assassin killed the little girl’s parents.

Then, he placed his sharp sword against the little girl’s neck and said, "You have good potential, kneel and take me as your master, or die like your parents."

The little girl was completely stunned, unable to accept the reality that her parents had been killed.

She bit her lip, holding back tears, glaring at the chief assassin.

She had no idea why he would just kill her parents like that.

Though she was trembling, even to the point of wetting her pants, she still stood there, not moving.

"If you’re unwilling, then die," the chief assassin said, then raised his sword to behead the little girl.

At that moment, Yao Xing’s mental shock hit Suo Lun’s mind, waking him up, and he witnessed the scene.

Immediately, he yelled with all his spiritual power, "Don’t!"

Then, he gathered all his spiritual power and fiercely struck towards the chief assassin’s head.

Suddenly, the chief assassin trembled slightly, looking confusedly in Suo Lun’s direction, then lightly cut with his sword.

The little girl’s tender neck was slit open, and blood gushed out.

However, just as he was about to sever the little girl’s neck completely,

suddenly, the air turned ice-cold in an instant, and a blue phantom, swift as lightning, struck.

The chief assassin was startled and slashed at the incoming concealed weapon with his sword.

"Bang..." The cold, blue phantom, a concealed weapon, collided forcefully with his sword.

Instantly, the sword and the entire arm of the chief assassin froze solid into ice.

At the same time, a stunningly beautiful figure arrived in a flash.

"Swoosh..." Like a sword descending from the heavens, crystal clear like water, it cleaved the supremely powerful assassin from Underworld Society into two halves.

The wound from the cleave was smooth as mirror, frozen in a cool blue, without a single drop of blood spilling out.

The comer, of course, was Ashi Liren.

She could ignore Suo Lun’s plight, but she couldn’t bear to see an innocent and lovable little girl die.

Gently, she held the little girl and swept her jade hand over the wound on her neck, instantly sealing the bleeding with ice.

Then, with a sword in one hand and the little girl in the other, covering the girl’s eyes,

"To strike down innocent civilians is no better than a beast, and to attack an innocent child is even more deserving of death," Ashi Liren said coldly.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Two more Dragon Swordsman assassins moved swiftly, flanking Ashi Liren from both sides.

While the remaining eight archers quickly retreated, firing Chain Arrows at her.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The eight archers released over a hundred sharp arrows almost simultaneously, each as fast as lightning, striking with deadly accuracy, each arrowhead coated with a lethal poison, certain death upon contact.

Ashi Liren’s sword swept through the air.

In an instant, the air in front of her froze, stopping over a hundred incoming arrows in their tracks.

With a light flick of her sword,

instantly, all hundred-plus arrows shattered to pieces.

Seeing this, all the assassins from Underworld Society present were completely astounded.

The two Dragon Swordsman assassins immediately changed their minds, directing their swords at the little girl in her arms.

"Despicable!"

Ashi Liren’s beautiful eyes stared at one of the Dragon Swordsman assassins, and a surge of powerful spiritual power erupted, instantly immobilizing the assassin on the spot, unable to move an inch.

This was a psychic attack, capable of paralyzing a person within a dozen meters.

Immediately after, without even looking, her sword in hand slashed toward another Dragon Samurai assassin.

"Clang clang clang clang..." The two swords crossed paths rapidly.

In an instant, the assassin’s sword completely shattered, followed by his arm, and finally his entire body, from head to toe, was ground into dust.

There was no blood, nor were there any grotesque innards; the entire corpse was ground into dust like sand, all of it solidifying into ice, with not a drop of blood seeping out, scattering across the ground.

Then, still holding the little girl, covering her eyes, Ashi Liren approached the immobilized Dragon Swordsman assassin, the sword blade lightly tapping the top of his head.

In an instant, the assassin’s body exploded violently, disintegrating into fragments.

By now, all three Dragon Swordsman assassins had been killed, leaving only eight Dragon Archers.

"Whiz whiz whiz whiz..." The eight Dragon Archers continued to shoot their Chain Arrows like lightning.

This time, Ashi Liren didn’t even bother to block, walking directly toward the arrows, advancing on the eight Dragon Archers.

In front of her, it was as if there was another barrier of ice, with all arrows, within three feet of her, hitting something sturdy and terrifying, bending and falling to the ground.

With a light tap of her foot, her body flashed, instantly appearing in front of the eight Dragon Archers.

"Miss, we are from the Underworld Society, by doing this you are making yourself an enemy of the entire Underworld Society," one of the Dragon Archers said coldly.

"I, Ashi Liren, am known as the Blue Enchantress," Ashi Liren replied coldly.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

Once Dragon Archers are approached closely, they stand no chance of fighting back.

In a blink, Ashi Liren cleanly killed all eight Dragon Archers, including Batu and the other two from Sky Star Hall.

Thirteen powerful individuals, all above the Warrior Layer, were killed cleanly by Ashi Liren alone, within a matter of minutes.

This power was not only shocking to the heart, but also to the soul.

Such strength was utterly suffocating.

After killing everyone, Ashi Liren still paid no attention to Suo Lun, not even sparing him a glance.

Instead, she squatted down, stroked the little girl’s face, and kissed her on her muddy cheek, saying, "Girl, do you want to come home with auntie?"

To Suo Lun, this kiss shook his heart as if he had witnessed the most beautiful scene in the world.

The little girl couldn’t help but glance toward her parents in the wheat field.

"After we bury daddy and mommy, then we will go home with auntie," Ashi Liren said.

Then, she and the little girl dug a hole in the corner of the wheat field and buried the girl’s parents.

When that was done, she took the little girl’s hand and walked toward the west,

Her horse had been shot and killed, and she disdained to ride any of the others.

And as for Suo Lun inside the carriage, she didn’t even give him a second look.

Suo Lun could only watch her incomparably beautiful figure slowly disappear into the distance.

But by then, the name Ashi Liren was deeply etched into his mind.

She was a woman of unrivaled power and ice-cold resolve, both ruthless and kind – a peerless beauty.

With the sunset before him, just as Suo Lun was about to lose sight of her receding figure,

Suddenly...

In the glow of the setting sun, Ashi Liren stopped in her tracks, her beautiful body trembling slightly, then she fell to the ground, unconscious.

Ashi Liren collapsed like that, unconscious, with no signs and for no apparent reason.

The little girl immediately started crying, pulling on Ashi Liren’s hand and shouting, "Auntie, auntie, wake up!"
