Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 466: The Real Gomez Jane

The Frontier was still as quiet as it used to be. Sitting on the horse while rocking his fan, Tence Matten narrowed his eyes at the sun and said, “Qian Jin, shouldn’t create a rescue plan first? I don’t think it a good idea to dive in just like this.”

Weed seconded by nodding. The boss and her buddies were now bottled up! It was hard to break in!

Pulling his horse in, Qian Jin turned around at Tence Matten. Since he said so, he must have something in mind already.

“It’s just a proposal.” Tence Matten shrugged. “I’ve never made a plan before. People make plans for me and I just choose.”

“How about a bandit fight?”

Qian Jin turned to Gomez Jane. “Bandit fight?”

“Yes.” Gomez Jane looked over to the vastness. “We’ve lost two shipments, which is the excuse. We can claim to search and kill the bandits who did it. In the meantime, we leak the information out that we want fortunes only. If Hayen Brianna is strong enough, like Weed said, she is probably fighting with her back against the wall. Then the Black Wind would want some new blood.”

A light shone in upon Qian Jin. The bandits Weed had seen when he escaped were all new recruits the Black Wind had just absorbed. If they could make their name heard in the whole “bandit stand-off”, the Black Wind would definitely approach them and offer them a job.

“Are you saying we pretend to be a mercenary group?” Lucifer Lucy glanced over the crowd. “Then who is the leader?”

Like Lucifer Lucy, Weed also looked around. It was a hard choice! Though Tence Matten always wore an easy grin, he seemed noble. Qian Jin might not possess that extravagance, but he was tough enough! Gomez Jane was like a calm general even though she was female. As for the man who had slept all the way here…

He had to admit that a lion was the ruler even when he was sleeping!

As for Yuan Kylie? Weed shook his head. She always followed Gomez Jane around like a good girl, but she was definitely from a royal family.

“To be honest,” Weed sighed, “Qian Jin looks the closest to a mercenary!”

Tence Matten shrugged. He wasn’t anything like a mercenary but a spoiled son of a rich family who had joined this trip on the spur of the moment.

“I’m fine with that.” Linguan Honzhe murmured as if he were talking in sleep. “As long as he didn’t boss us around!”

Weed landed his eyes on Qian Jin. “Then…”

Squeak…

A harsh whistle interrupted Weed! Over the distance, horses were whinnying and dust was flying! Bandits were shouting and approaching.

Looking up, Qian Jin smiled at the hovering eagle. He had spared it to lure the bandits over. If they came, which turned out to be so, the costumes they needed to put on a defecting set would be just around the corner. But now… It seemed the proposal from Gomez Jane was a much better idea.

By going to Black Wind themselves, they would never be valued as much as if they were invited by Black Wind.

They would be provided with all the resources they needed if they were invited.

Shaking his folding fan, Tence Matten looked over the coming bandits to the distance and secretly pondered why there were barbarians. Aware of that they had no capabilities to seek hegemony on the mainland, the species had always settled themselves with the partial peace.

What were they doing by showing up in the Frontier? The smile on Tence Matten turned dignified. With the barbarians here, the focus now was not to help Qian Jin or to win him over. What were the barbarians up to? Were they out of their mind?

“Boss, I saw two peaches over there! We’re going to have a good time tonight! ”

The bandit ahead of roared in an exciting voice. He put down the whip and waved a saber above his head. “We Linacis Bandit Group today want only the chicks and the money! Dismount unarmed, you will be spared!”

“Linacis Bandit Group?” Weed exclaimed. “The sixth bandit group? Their base is not here… What are they doing here?”

“There are chicks?” A strong fellow in fur took a swallow of wine and then poked his leather cap with a machete: “Oh ho! One of them is single-eyed, just like me! I’ll have that one and the other is yours! Be careful, don’t break her! They worth a hell of a lot of money if we sell them to the Demons brothel!”

Without raising his eyelids, Qian Jin spurred his horse and ordered in a stone-cold tone, “Leave one head, each of you! And… kill the rest!”

Receiving the order, Lucifer Lucy darted out like a flying arrow! She couldn’t contain herself any longer with those dirty words!

“I didn’t expect one day I would take order from an ordinary warrior.” While Tence Matten murmured in a self-deprecating smile, he still moved forward.

Only Linguan Honzhe… That sleepy lion rolled over and now he was lying face up on the horse! It seemed he didn’t even plan to join the fight as if the blood of bandits would soil his hands.

The one-eyed captain put on a pity face as he saw Linguan Honzhe didn’t move a little. Tossing his wine-skin out, he suddenly shouted, “Net!”

Several bandits at the same time raised their hands and each of them cast a black ball out into the sky! The balls stretched out all of a sudden into nets and flew over to Qian Jin!

The captain laughed loudly. After walking on the outskirts for a long time, he had become a leader with good eyesight. Those men here were not intimidated by the name of Linacis Bandit Group at all. So, all he had to do was to provoke them and throw out the net.

The one-eyed boss sat tight on his horse with both arms folded across the chest. His net had never failed before and this time it naturally would not.

Looking at the approaching net, Qian Jin’s eyebrows jumped! Suddenly, he patted the horseback and at the same time forced it by both feet! The strength produced severe leg weakness in the mount that it almost knelt on the ground! By the strong recoil, Qian Jin was pushed towards the sky! By reflected sunlight, he drew a few blinding strikes with the giant Zhanmadao. The black net was cut into pieces.

What the hell? How could it be like this? Who was that man and what was that knife made of? People had tried to cut the net before… But the seeming silk cloth was, in fact, special metal wires.

Before the bandits woke up from the shock, Lucifer Lucy had darted to the single-minded captain. With a strong flick of her wrist, she drew out of a sword stolen from the Torrent Battle Fort in her Warrior Dimension and chopped an arm off that pervert, who was then kicked off the horse.

Tence Matten cracked a grin! The cruelty a woman was capable of! She could have killed that man but she didn’t. She must have spared his life for a more barbaric torture.

Ah … ah …

Soon the sounds of weeping, cursing, and fighting blurred into a chaos of noise. Tence Matten held his horse and stopped Iron who was going to jump into the fight. “See? The heroines have the situation handled.”

Gomez Jane threaded through the crowd with her [Dual-Moon] moving up and down vigorously and rhythmically! Everywhere she went, bandits died with wounds and scars on them, three at least and ten at most.

In a second, she flashed in front of another victim! By a strike, the man was chopped into pieces!

“Golden Warrior Heart? No, it’s more than that…” The symbolic smile of Tence Matten almost died down. Putting on a serious look, he gazed at Gomez Jane. “At such age, Golden Warrior Heart should be the best she could nail no matter what a genius she is. Why did I saw Soul-Power in her?”

Iron shook his huge head again and again. It was definitely Soul-Power although she didn’t activate it! He could smell it in her Warrior Power! People who had condensed Soul-Power couldn’t hide it no matter how badly they wanted to.

How could a female ordinary warrior have her Soul-Power? Linguan Honzhe couldn’t sleep anymore! He sat up and while watching her back, he immersed himself in deep thoughts! How the hell did she do it?

Linguan Honzhe took a long breath at the freak who fought like dancing! Right, he was sure that was Soul-Power! The woman was more like a surprise than Qian Jin!

Warrior Heart, Golden Warrior Heart, Soul-Power… For ordinary warriors, every step was necessary and each was equally difficult. Breakthroughs might be unreachable for most people even they died of an old age!

To Linguan Honzhe, it was time to pay more attention to the ordinary group. This woman there must have a very special background.

“Is it…” Suddenly the man with the folding fan had a shiver and a guess struck him!

The Golden Warrior Heart… Was it a gift?

A warrior couldn’t give his or her Soul-Power to others as a gift, but it didn’t apply to the Warrior Heart and Golden Warrior Heart! Of course, there were conditions and they sometimes could be very demanding. A warrior could only send those treasures to his or her own breed before falling into the sear like a yellow leaf.

The process was highly risky and the cost was unbearable! The donor could at most live another three years and the receiver might die on the spot if there were a rejection!

Although it would usually work with the closest relatives, there were few willing to be a donor in the prime of life knowing he or she would die in three years! Besides, there was a possible death for the receiver; the rate was 10%!

Linguan Honzhe was shocked by his daring guess! But he was sure it must have been so! Gomez Jane must have received the Golden Warrior Heart from someone nearly related and then obtained the Soul-Power on her own afterward!

Tence Matten narrowed his eyes and clicked a search button in his head. Who had died in his or her robust years with a Golden Warrior Heart in the Zence Empire?

No, no, no, no …

Suddenly he stared his eyes wide open and shrank them at the Gomez Jane! Gomez… Gomez… Was it her?
