Chapter 226 - A Fool
The goshawk instinct told the beast to fight or he would be dead so the bird flap his wing he strikes at Zhao Li Xin, at that time Lu Xi Xi think to use this chance to escape, her grandfather plan is not working this kind of man cannot be seduced, she would be dead before she could stand a meter from him, she raised from the ground while clenching her chest but when she turns around Mong Yi already block her way out.
"Going somewhere, Miss Lu?" Mong Yi smirk.
In a meantime the Goshawk let out a loud screech, he aimed his long claw on Zhao Li Xin's face. in a swift movement, he dodged the bird and grab the goshawk neck from behind
"What a stupid beast" he gripping the bird neck and the bird flapping its wings in panic than a flame ignited on his hand and burn the bird body, the beast let out helpless screech but the flame engulfs the beast and a second later the bird turns to ash, the wind blow the ash to the air and the bird remains disappear without trace.
Lu Xi Xi leg turn soft he becomes hyperventilated, his ruthlessness shaken her to her core she feel the demon incarnated is standing in front of her and he would drag her to the deep hell, Lu Xi Xi can't stop cursed her Grandfather stupid plan she realizes they have miss calculated Zhao Li Xin temper.
They all believed a man as his caliber would not succumb in the name of love they though his raged is because they cross his territory or they challenged his authority they are not believed is simply because of love but is not they're fault, no one would believe it either.
"HELP, SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Lu Xi Xi screams in panic-stricken.
Then from behind the bamboo forest dozens of grey figures with grey uniform jump from behind the bamboo tree, and the pack of the beast with ferocious growl run towards them, there's a relief in Lu Xi Xi eyes.
"Finally they stop hiding" Zhao Li Xin scoffed "Get rid of them" he turn around and walk back to the pavilion with a calm pace but suddenly he halted and he turns around again "Make it fast….I'm bored," he said apathetically.
"Understood Milord," said the Mong's brother at the same time, then six more men with black uniforms appear behind Mong Ki and Mong Yi "You hear the Lord, finish them fast!" Mong Ki reprimand them.
The grey and the black figure collide combine with the beast make an earth-shattering sounds echoed to the air, Zhao Li Xin didn't bother to concern with the battle in front of him he back on the long chair he leans his back tiredly, he crossed his arms on his chest no one can see what expression he made only his cold mask remain.
Meanwhile, Lu Xi Xi watched the battle anxiously more of the Lu clan killed even though they outnumber Zhao Li Xin shadow guard and the beast who was ferocious before now is whined in fear, she feel agitated how could the great Lu clan defeated by a few shadow guard this is unbelievable when she shifted her gaze to Zhao Li Xin that man is leisurely sitting on the long chair in indifferent expression.
Suddenly a lifeless body falls in front of her, Lu Xi Xi shriek and fall on her butt but more dead body fall near her, she realizes more casualty on her side meaning the less chance for her to be alive she become panic and shouted indistinctly, suddenly blood splat on her shoes and robes she didn't know if its from human or beast but one by one die in front of her.
It takes fifteen-minute until everything become quiet again, dead body human and beast corpses lay on the ground cover with blood leaving a pungent smelled on the air but no casualty on Hei Shen member although a few of them is wounded slightly.
Lu Xi Xi faces lose the color, her lips tremble her eyes is wet from tears her hand clapped together than she plops on the ground her body shiver tremendously she scared, she is very scared.
Lu Xi Xi might not the most talented in the Lu clan but she is the prettiest among the grandchildren that what her grandfather most valued from her, she sent her because she is the most gorgeous compare with other although her cultivating just mediocre but because Zhao Li Xin fiancée is a wasted they thought he didn't care about that or perhaps he like beautiful and weak dainty woman and that's why they send her.
Zhao Li Xin sigh he closes his eyes for a moment when he opens his dark eyes nothing reflect on his eyes only boredom, the bloody scene in front of him didn't give him satisfaction or thrilled he had hope for, why everything around him becomes dull he can't stand it.
"Milord is done!" they cupped their fist simultaneously.
Zhao Li Xin waved his hand lazily "Bring that woman here" he said calmly.
One of the shadow guards drag the frightened Lu Xi Xi and push her to the ground right in front of the pagoda, Lu Xi Xi is so scared she almost faint on the spot but that might only infuriate him more so she forced herself to stay awake.
"I'm curious, why from all of the woman in Lu clan that old fox send you?" Zhao Li Xin tilted his head slightly, he sees nothing special about the woman in front of him so why that old fox design this preposterously plan.
Lu Xi Xi avoid his icy glare, how can she told him the reason her Grandfather send him because she is the fairest among them, she didn't say a word, she keep her head down and pressed her lips tightly.
"Maybe because her face milord?" Mong Yi casually said.
"What's wrong with her face?" Zhao Li Xin frown.
"She is a beautiful woman, maybe the old Lu think she would seduced if she able to get close to you?" Mong Yi sneers how ridiculous their plan is.
"Beautiful? Her?" he scoffed.
Lu Xi Xi face become red from shammed she never been humiliated like this, she always proud with her look everyone said she is the most beautiful woman in the continent and every man praised her look all the time but today, she was mocked as a duck pretending to be swan for someone vain like her how could she not be furious.
"She not even worth a strand of her hair…..don't you think," Zhao Li Xin said in low voice, for him Lory is the purest and the kindest woman in the world no one can compare to her if 'Love is blind' no one is blinder then him.
"No, she's not milord" Mong Ki agrees with him but he is more inclined to the inside than outside, he like a straightforward person like Lory then a two face like Lu Xi Xi.
"They say Lu clan is filled with excellent, talented and smart people but turned out we can't believe rumor easily" Mong Yi snicker, and the other shadow guard who easily killed Lu clan members chuckles, at first they thought Lu clan will give them a hard time but until now their's no casualty in Hei Shen sect but hundreds of Lu clan members had died in the hand of Hei Shen members.
Lu Xi Xi never heard anyone mocked her family the anger inside of her hit the roof then she glare at Zhao Li Xin "If you so great so why can you save you're owned woman, she even dead without living a corpse!" she laughs at his foolishness, how dare he acted high and mighty when he unable to protect his owned fiancée.
Suddenly everyone silent and the temperature increased rapidly, the shadow guard take a few steps back they can feel they're Lord wrath, blood lust filled his eyes his strong qi surged within him and spread like wildfire, the shadow guard who is more weaker jump away from their stand and they fall on their knee while clenching they're chest and the other who is stronger still stand but their feet are trembling from the high pressure from they're Lord.
Mong Ki and Mong Yi take a deep breath to control their qi to protect their meridian from breaking apart because they stand closer to Zhao Li Xin compare to the others, Lu Xi Xi lay face down pressed to the ground she coughing a lot of blood not just her meridian even her dantian is broke apart she feel excruciating pain all over her body and she has trouble breathing.
She just want to vent her anger but who knew she enraged the 'Demon Lord' and she becomes a waste after this, a woman who can't cultivate didn't have a good future, she can't ever become official wife her value has decreased and she can only become concubine, she regrets her stupidity and cursed her big mouth.
"You right….I'm nothing but a fool" he lifted her chin with his shoes "Let me show you what a fool could do…" he smiled wickedly, his cold eyes pierced through he heart make her blood run cold, her chin trembles in fright and her body become numb, she had make terrible mistake.
