Chapter 96 - Assassins in cave

Ling Xiao had been silent the entire time, he only watched quietly, he wanted to see how Murong Fu would react, and now, Ling Xiao was completely sure that Murong Fu was no longer the Murong Fu from before.

The current Murong Fu had his own soul, so he made his own choice.

Ling Xiao believed that if Murong Fu was not injured, he would definitely kill the person who assaulted him. Even if they knew each other, even if they had deep feelings for him.

But now that Murong Fu was injured, if Ling Xiao did not make a move in time, he would have died a long time ago.

Therefore, Ling Xiao was prepared to be a kind person again.

After seeing Murong Fu respond, Ling Xiao made his move. Following a flash of an afterimage, that person's head fell on the ground and rolled far away along the slope with a few grunts.

Such a vicious method caused the surrounding spectators to feel their hairs stand on end. The other party probably did not even manage to see Ling Xiao's shadow, and just like that, his head inexplicably fell onto the ground.

He did not detect Ling Xiao's attacks twice, and after reacting, Murong Fu subconsciously looked towards cave at the side. He was starting to worry about the extreme assassins in cave.

But when Ling Xiao turned around, he actually saw Murong Fu turning his head away. He thought Murong Fu was sad, but he walked over helplessly and asked: "Are you sad that this person died?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, any connection I have with the Mu Rong family was severed from the moment I thought it through.

"Alright, then let's continue." Ling Xiao nodded, and brought everyone to cave.

Since the matter of Murong Fu's betrayal had already been discovered, then those ambushes in the cave would definitely be even more powerful. Thus, the killing intent that Ling Xiao felt at the beginning was not groundless, but real.

As for Murong Fu, he did not dare believe that someone from the Mu Rong family would secretly follow him. He thought that he had grasped all of the secrets, but in reality, he was only a chess piece of the Mu Rong family.

The moment they stepped into cave, a cold and gloomy wind blew over, causing everyone to uncontrollably shiver.

This kind of cold place could cause one's senses to become numb. This was a huge advantage for assassins who were hiding in the dark.

"Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings. If there's any movement, find a corner and squat down." Ling Xiao instructed in a serious tone.

Feeling the faintly discernible killing intent, Ling Xiao carefully observed his surroundings the entire time. However, he still did not discover any movements, so he had no choice but to let everyone choose the most passive method of protecting their lives.

Because Ling Xiao wasn't sure if these people could avoid this fatal attack, he could only guarantee that he would not be harmed in the slightest. At the same time, he could also find another opportunity to retaliate.

It was so dark inside the cave that he couldn't even see his own fingers. No matter how strong Ling Xiao was, he wouldn't be able to find the right path in the darkness, so he still needed to light the fire.

However, before lighting a torch, Ling Xiao had clearly ordered everyone to stay away from him. This way, the enemies wouldn't notice too much.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a bright spot could be vaguely seen in the endless darkness. Although the light was very weak, it was very obvious in the pure black darkness.

This light brought hope to everyone, but Murong Fu's expression was extremely ugly. According to his knowledge, those assassins should have made their move during the first half of the journey, but even after seeing the direction of the exit, they still did not make any movements. Towards the unknown, Murong Fu showed an instinctive reaction of fear.

"That's the exit!" Duan Yu could not help but exclaim. It was the first time he had experienced such an oppressive process, and when he saw the light, he was so excited that he nearly jumped.

He knew that if this continued, the position of Duan Yu and the rest would be exposed. In this kind of cave where visibility was extremely low, the biggest fear would be that there would be too much of a commotion. This way, the surrounding people would be able to find out your location through the sound.

"Everyone, find a place to hide!" Ling Xiao immediately shouted out when Duan Yu opened his mouth.

Just at that moment, as Ling Xiao's words fell, the sound of a concealed weapon piercing through the air rang out. Swish swish swish.

No one shouted. This made Ling Xiao heave a sigh of relief, which also meant that Duan Yu and the rest were safe to hide in.

Following the trajectory of the concealed weapon, Ling Xiao quickly grasped the position of the assassins.

The enemy would definitely not have thought that their concentrated attacks would be ineffective against them. What was even more unbelievable was that Ling Xiao only needed to activate a wave of hidden weapons to be able to pinpoint their positions.

A cool breeze blew past, and Ling Xiao disappeared. Because the cave was very dark, no one noticed when Ling Xiao had disappeared, and they didn't even know where Ling Xiao was originally at.

However, Duan Yu and the others knew clearly that they were right behind Ling Xiao. After hiding in a safe location, everyone's eyes were focused on Ling Xiao, they wanted to see clearly what kind of shocking performance Ling Xiao would bring them next.

It was a pity that they could not see Ling Xiao's actions clearly either. All they saw was a torch sticking out of a rock.

Everyone could only hear their own breathing and heartbeats, cold sweat continuously flowed down their foreheads, but no one dared to move. They believed that the assassins would definitely be watching them from the shadows, and once they appeared, a hidden weapon would definitely hit their heads.

"Pfft!"

Just as everyone's nerves were at their highest point, a clear and loud voice suddenly rang out, breaking the eerie silence of the cave. However, this voice caused everyone to shiver, as they were all very familiar with this voice.

Because they had heard it before at the entrance of cave!

Following this voice, the same sounds started to appear one after another from within the cave. The intervals between them were also extremely short, as if they were playing a series of musical instruments.

After an unknown period of time, the voice that caused everyone to feel fear no longer sounded. This meant that Ling Xiao had stopped.

"Gulp!"

It was as if something round had fallen out of the darkness. "Pa Da", those round objects collided with something and stopped.
