Commanding Wind and Cloud Chapter 204

"Hey, buddy, don’t be moved by me, as I said those words to cheat Uncle Wind." Duren Burg lowered his voice in a mysterious way and whispered to Qian Jin ears, "Indeed I was afraid of finding nowhere to get free cigarettes if you passed away. It is difficult to find out a child like you who isn’t clear on the values of cigarettes."

Hit upon by Qian Jin’s kick, Duren Burg, the Hydra Bloodline Warrior slid to another side and escaped the kick. A naughty smile danced on Duren Burg’s face.

Under the close watch of Qian Jin, Fanta Kunge said unconsciously, "You have promised me to help me become stronger. Now that you haven’t lived up to your promise, I have to follow you."

"I have nowhere to go." Cech Flet said briefly.

Qian Jin chuckled at these three people, "The reasons you fabricated are so clumsy."

"You young people…" Seeing Qian Jin and the other three warriors rushing out to the frontier, General Wind kept shaking his head and then said, "I really hope that these guys will remember what happened today and bear this friendship in their mind for a lifetime."

"Why are these people going to the frontier again?" Watching the four guys disappear in great astonishment, Rayen wore a sneer, "Since the frontier is in chaos, these people asking for death. I will help them this time. Lelayka!"

Two medium-sized gaunt warriors bent over at the Rayen and said to their master’s ears, "Young master, what do you want us to do this time?"

"You, go out and tell Big Sword what has happened here." Rayen put on a vicious look, "Want to destroy my plans? You people are doomed to meet your finale this time! If Big Sword doesn’t react to this matter, you shall publicize it to the public. In the frontier, if a member of a team was killed but the other partners were too timid to take a revenge…"

Lelayka stood straight, and twinkled his blue eyes under the golden brows, indicating that he was pondering on what Rayen has said. It was no wonder that the leader of the family said that Young master Ray would be a venomous serpent if he could get rid of his demerits of lasciviousness and recklessness. So far, this child still possessed an amorous character, but had become much more composed in the face of emergencies, as he came up with such a malicious means of utilizing the law of the jungle to mobilize the Big Sword, the sixth strongest bandit group of the Top Ten Bandit Groups in the Frontier!

In the frontier, if a member of a team was killed but the other partners were too timid to take the revenge, the entire team would be mocked by the other bandit groups. In the meanwhile, the remaining members of the damaged group would feel worried about their own destinies and thus seek refuge with other groups, giving rise to the collapse of such groups.

Once upon a time, the tenth strongest group of the Top Ten Bandit Groups in the Frontier, the Raging Fire Bandit Group, fell apart in a night’s time, as one of their members was killed yet no one stood out to take the revenge.

Many years had passed, yet this event still left an indelible impression on all living bandits’ minds.

"I see, Young master." Lelayka walked toward the stable hurriedly.

"Rob Zelta." Rayen narrowed his peach-like eyes, "You follow those four guys, and make sure not to be discovered by them. Take the female rage-headed pigeon with you, so that you can send messages to Lelayka when the four are taking a long break during their trip."

"You have made such a flawless plan." Rob Zelta bent down reverently, turned around and walked toward the stable.

Rayen turned back and smiled contentedly at the sight of Rob Zelta’s back. This guard was of greater use as he knew the right time to compliment his master.

"Rage-headed pigeon…" Rayen stretched his body and paced, "Is a kind of bird that is able to sense the location of its spouse without any guidance at a distance of one thousand miles. The bloodline warrior couldn’t have imagined my intent of fighting back at him, let alone my capability of getting their location. It seems that I could have finished them off without having to go back to Yulee."

"However…"Rayen frowned and looked up to the sky, "Why are they going to the frontier again? What’s so attracting there? What are they looking for? Haven’t they found out their objects last time?"

"We still haven’t found out him…"

The Torrent Ten Warriors were standing behind Fabreidis silently, hearing the once strongest man of Torrent Battle Fort sigh.

For all these days, he had fought with not only various bandit groups of the frontier, but also the Dark Group twice. However, no news about Qian Jin had been heard. It seemed as if this young warrior who had successfully killed down the Two Star of the Dark Group had disappeared into the void.

"How can I find him?" Fabreidis chanted in a low voice, "How can I search for him? How?"

...

"We can ask the bandits for help." Qian Jin turned back at Duren Burg who posted the question, "According to General Wind, Fabreidis had attracted a lot of attention these days in the frontier. Even if nobody is sure where he is exactly, the rough location might be captured by some of them?"

"That makes sense." Duren Burg sprawled on the horse and said while taking an inhale of the cigarette, "If Fabreidis is really as all-mighty as General Wind had described, the bandits are sure to evade him in moving around, which means that they are in possession of the rough location of him."

"That’s it! So we just need to catch a bandit who is walking alone…" Qian Jin leaned on the horseback, looked to the area behind them where no traces of human inhabitation could be seen and frowned slightly, "Someone is chasing after us."

"You can feel it?" Duren Burg smoked the cigarette hard, "How do you know that?"

Qian Jin pointed to the birds soaring in the sky, "It is normal for there to be several birds flying through the clouds if no one startles them. However, just now a big crowd of birds was pouncing at the sky while chirping, which only happened when they were frightened by some unknown attack."

"Could that be beasts?"

"No." Qian Jin shook his head, "It’s more likely to be the attack of humans."

"So we…" Duren Burg looked to Qian Jin, "Stop here?"

"Definitely." Qian Jin pointed at a hillock far away from them where there were lots of trees, "Let’s go there to see who these stalkers are."

Clip-clop…clip-clop…clip-clop…

Rob Zelta was jolting as the horse was dashing forward. Approaching the hillock, he got off from the horse, felt the grass on the ground which was smashed by horses’ toes, looked to the hillock along the grasses and said to himself, "How could they enter this groove? Are these the things they are looking for?"

Rob Zelta pulled the horse and walked toward the forest. It was not convenient to ride the horse here, and what’s more, it was easy to expose himself by doing so. He had to be extremely watchful before he came to know the location of those four people.

Watchful…Rob Zelta tiptoed on the ground with his soles. And all of a sudden he stood straight motionlessly and was stopped from making any moves.

A sharp arrow blinked amongst the leaves. While compared to this arrow, what was more terrifying was the archer who made this shot. The murderous intent in the surroundings was like a big net, covering Rob Zelta under its enchantment.

Rob Zelta realized that dared he make any move, he would be pierced through by this sharp arrow. Even if he could be lucky enough to escape the arrow, the compelling force generated from three Demon Fighters lurking around could wring him to death in the blink of the eye! Especially the ferocious Level 7 Demon Fighter, who could decide the outcome of a fight on his own! Rob Zelta knew that he could have fled from these warriors’ attack if he hadn’t walked into the forest, but now everything was too late.

"Isn’t this Rob Zelta?" Qian Jin slowly rose up, and the leaves on his body slipped to two sides.

At the sight of Qian Jin, Rob Zelta’s pupils contracted harshly, and he forced a twisted smile with his stiff facial muscles, "What a coincidence that you are also here…"

"Is that a coincidence?" Qian Jin looked at Rob Zelta with a fake smile. Was it not for his recognition of this stalker, Qian Jin could have made the shoot and left a hole in him. "I’m waiting for you."

"Waiting for me?" Still, Rob Zelta daren’t make any move. Looking at Qian Jin whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, he said, "This…"

"Is this interesting?" Qian Jin stopped Rob Zelta in a cold way, "I’m an impatient person. If you still beat around the bush, I will shoot you to death."

Gazing at the ferocious look of Qian Jin, Rob Zelta couldn’t help the shivering of his body and the standing of his hair. As a pungent smell of blood was coupled with Qian Jin’s murderous intent, Rob Zelta knew that Qian Jin was not trying to threaten him－he really meant that.

Rob Zelta was sure that if he kept hiding the truth, Qian Jin would shoot on his head. The bloody murderous intent would slow down one’s reaction. And even if he could see Qian Jin shooting the arrow, he might not be able to escape it.

Rob Zelta raised his head and uttered a sigh, "Our young master sent me here…"

Qian Jin nodded his head lightly, encouraging Rob Zelta to continue speaking.

Rob Zelta smacked his tongue, "In fact, our young master was doing this for your sake as we had left the frontier together. Seeing you coming back again, our young master ordered me to follow you and help you in the case of emergencies…Alas!"

A mournful screech rose through the blocked trees to the sky, which startled the perching birds to soar and hover above the forest.

Rob Zelta was kneeling on one leg, holding his bleeding left knee with his two hands. The terrifying shot was still flashing in front of him!

It was so quick! Shortly after Rob Zelta saw a vague shadow and heard the vibrating of the string, he felt desperately hurting on his left knee. Then he fell to the ground uncontrollably, and found that the limb below his left knee was already gone!

A hole appeared on the grass behind him as the result of the swinging arrow. Only a small part of the arrow tail could be seen, while the remaining of the arrow pricked down to the earth!

His leg was shot off by one arrow! Rob Zelta was sweating all over his shivering body and looking at Qian Jin, the horrible archer! He was even more atrocious than a Level 5 or 6 Demon Fighter! No one could sense his murderous intent before he released his attack as he possessed such a composed temperament.

"You can lie to me again." Qian Jin slowly nocked the arrow, "But I promise that the other leg of yours will be shot off."

Pains were mingling with fear! Rob Zelta couldn’t help the shivering of his body and the grinding of his teeth, "No matter if I tell the truth or not, I will end up dying. Do you take me for a dumbass?"

"You are so clever." Qian Jin nodded his head, "But if you confess to me, I can assure you a quick death. But if you remain silent? I remember having read in one book a method of tormenting, that is, slicing one’s flesh hundreds of times, smearing honey on the scars and then throwing that person into the ants…"

Duren Burg looked to Qian Jin unconsciously, and scratched his tickling scalp, "What the hell is this book…it’s so cruel."

"There is another way." Gazing at Rob Zelta’s fearful look, Qian Jin went on saying quietly, "That is, pouring hot water on one’s body, and brushing his skin off with an iron-made brush little by little…"

"Stop that!" Rob Zelta growled with fear, "You…you…you are even more demonic than the Demons…"

Duren Burg asked in a low voice, "Brother Qian, how could you get to know these appalling punishments?"

Qian Jin raised his eyebrows, "I saw them on the books. In fact there are a lot of other similarly cruel punishments, yet these two gave me the deepest impression…"

"I will say, I will say…"Rob Zelta softened his stiff body and slumped, "The young master ordered me to follow you. He also sent Lelayka to go to the Big Sword Bandit Group while requiring me to release the rage-headed pigeon to get your location… "

"Rayen…"

Qian Jin lowered his eyelids, while Rob Zelta’s hollow eyes suddenly twinkled with a flashing light. He then tapped on the ground with his two hands, pedaled backward with his right leg, and pounced on Cech Flet who was standing close to his right side! Given his fighting experience of more than one decade, Rob Zelta knew that his last chance of survival would come during the several seconds after Qian Jin heard this name!

Rob Zelta poked his right arm, cracked his fingers and tried to seize Cech Flet’s throat with his coarse and fat hand! This person in front of him was the weakest among these four! Rob Zelta knew that he had a seventy-percent chance of succeeding in such a near distance with the Level 2 Demon Fighter who hadn’t fully realized what was going on.

Waiting for the death? Putting on a horribly crooked smile, Rob Zelta felt that he was about to touch the thin skin of Cech Flet’s neck. As long as he succeeded in catching this Level 2 Demon Fighter as his hostage, he didn’t need to wait for his death! Contrarily he could…

For an instant, Cech Flet’s eyes turned as black as the ink, with the power of Fallen Angel Bloodline rushing and roaring inside him! All of a sudden, the compelling force was jetted out of him! His smooth and delicate black feathered wings grew from his back, and then blossomed into full length!

Holy! A stream of ferocious warrior power mingled with evil and holiness started spouting out from Cech Flet. His tenuous fingers appeared like delicate iron hands forged by the greatest artist in the world.

Beautiful…no! It could be called perfect! Rob Zelta saw a consummate palm protruding in front of his neck, and then crashing with his own. He felt as if his palm had tamped on a thick piece of iron, of which the hurting feeling run through his head and entwined with his enormous astonishment.

Fallen Angel Bloodline Demon Warrior! It was rumored that the Lucifer Royal Family the Demons bred a special branch of Fallen Angel Bloodline Demon Warriors! He... he took on the human shape in normal times!

One of these four warriors belonged to the Demon species! A Fallen Angel Bloodline Demon Warrior exclusively bred by the Lucifer Royal Family! What kind of a team was this?

Crack…crack…crack…

Cech Flet seized Rob Zelta’s right hand and used his utmost strength of a Level 9 Demon Fighter to crush Rob Zelta’s bones, as well as his last hope of survival.

"Kill him." Qian Jin waved his hand slightly, and Cech Flet rotated his wrist to crumb Rob Zelta’s throat. The protruding head of Rob Zelta collapsed to one side.

Rob Zelta fell down onto the ground hard, whose eyes were written with sheer astonishment. He couldn’t believe that his enemy would kill right after smashing his sneak attack, instead of giving a grandiloquent speech as a celebration.

Generally, the victor would say brave words before killing his enemy. Rob Zelta had counted on this spell of time to flee. However, his enemy didn’t leave him any time or room to exploit their victory.

Sharp! Incisive! Fanta Kunge looked up Qian Jin up and down again. He hadn’t imagined that someone else was also familiar with the family philosophy he had been infused with and performed it incisively.

"He said it was Rayen?" Qian Jin touched his jaw, "It seems that he comes from a high-status family of Yulee. Since he longs to kill me in the frontier, after seeing me alive in Yulee, I bet he will go on trying to finish me off."

Duren Burg covered Rob Zelta’s corpse with some leaves, lifted his head and said, "Definitely. Don’t you know that the Ray Family is one of the eight powers in Yulee State?"

"No, I don't." Qian Jin shook his head. During his time at Qian Family, he wasn’t required to know about the controlling powers in one region. What he needed to bear in mind were the bloodline warrior families, the three strongest bloodline warrior families, the royal family, the Bloodline Demon Warriors and the warriors of the Barbarians.

"You don’t know this!" Duren Burg stood up straight and patted his back while wearing an extremely exuberant look, "I have known you for a long time, and it’s not until today that I know that there is, after all, something you don't know in this world."

Qian Jin laughed and shrugged his shoulder, wondering what’s so funny about this. In the view of Qian Family, what mattered were the three Demon Warriors who had entered ultimate awakening, and the two bloodline warriors who had also reached the ultimate awakening of the Zence Empire. As for the so-called family powers? Dare they irritate the Qian Family, they would direct unleash a battle against them!

Someone who grew up in such an environment didn’t need to bear in mind these trivial things, as he would be equipped with all kinds of technical servants around him by his family.

Only those offsprings of Qian Family who failed the awakening would learn about such issues in the training before they started to serve the Family.

Qian Jin scratched his head, recalling his memory of leaving the Qian Family upon his failure in the ultimate bloodline awakening. As he hadn’t ever received the family training, he didn’t know about the so-called eight powers of Yulee.

"The Ray Family is influential in Yulee." Fanta Kunge said with a sullen face, "There are several talents rising up from the family, who hold a position in the Union and can summon some powers. They are difficult to deal with."

Seeing Fanta Kunge’s face, Qian Jin realized that the Ray Family was really a compelling power as Fanta, a warrior from the God of Warrior Family had made the above comments.

"Really?" Qian Jin stroked his chin. "If so, let’s go back and wipe out this threat."

"Kill him?" Fanta Kunge was seized by a shock and looked at Qian Jin blankly.

"What else can we do?" Qian Jin turned to Fanta Kunge, "Wait for him to come back to Yulee and mobilize his family power to fight against me? I don't mind the trivial conflicts, however, he is aiming to kill me. He will feel fearful of one failure, but he won’t give up his plans of killing me. On the contrary, he will utilize more powers to attempt killing me."
