Chapter 2078: Life-Reaping Peach Blossoms
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This wasn’t some enchanting peach blossom shower!
This was clearly a peach blossom ma.s.sacre that reaped people’s lives!
The b.l.o.o.d.y stench of death suffused the air to the point that it was suffocating!
These peach blossom petals were like sharp weapons that cut open people’s bodies as they fell. If that peach blossom petal slid past a person’s neck, it spelled death!
A good many people around them collapsed!
!!
The Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping, who had activated all the defensive weapons on his fingers, wished for nothing more than to dig a hole and bury himself inside to avoid coming into contact with those death peach blossoms.
At this time, an incomparably ominous air was closing in. The Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping felt from the bottom of his heart that this was the scent of death!
These peculiar thoughts in the Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping’s mind made him shake nonstop. He turned to the Geng Pengcheng couple to seek help, but he saw that the latter simply didn’t even look at him.
Rather, the third young lady of the Mu Family appeared much more calm. She merely activated her defensive barrier and stood quietly by his side. She did not make a fuss and scream like the Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping.
In Mu Rouke’s view, there was simply no point to be screaming right now.
Screaming could only express one’s terror and fright. Would it make the enemy abandon their intention to kill you? Obviously not!
That’s why it didn’t matter whether you screamed or not.
Mu Rouke forced herself to stay calm, and she tugged at the Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping’s sleeve. “Va.s.sal Prince, don’t yell anymore. You have activated three defensive barriers, so pay attention to conserving your spiritual energy and not letting it drain too quickly. Otherwise, the defensive barriers will not last.”
Mu Rouke’s reminder pulled the Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping out of his nervous breakdown.
After pondering over Mu Rouke’s admonition, he thought there was nothing wrong with what she said. He quickly nodded, but he still watched the people inside the peach blossom shower in apprehension.
There were already many people who didn’t get up after falling to the ground. Some had fallen dead after getting their throats slit, but most of them only had their arms or legs cut by the peach blossom petals. At this time, the hall was filled with people rolling back and forth on the floor without care for propriety.
Geng Pengcheng kicked a guard who had fallen beside him with his foot and shouted angrily, “Get up, get up right now.”
Yet that person, whose thigh had gotten hurt by a peach blossom petal, was rolling about while clutching his leg and groaning in pain. He naturally couldn’t follow Geng Pengcheng’s order to get up right away.
The Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping couldn’t help but panic when he saw that even Geng Pengcheng had his hands tied in this situation. He quickly turned to look at Mu Rouke. “Ke’er, should we be retreating first!”
Mu Rouke involuntarily showed a bitter smile.
Retreat?
Where could they retreat to?
From when that man with extremely high cultivation started his attack, the entire hall had been placed under a restriction. It was impossible to flee.
The Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping’s rambling entered her ears. “I-I am the Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping. Sin-Since that person i-is my cousin, h-he shouldn’t be treating me this way right? Ke’er, y-you think if we go ack… acknowledge him, would he let us off?”
Mu Rouke couldn’t help but smile bitterly again.
Did this young lord not understand? If His Highness the Crown Prince did care about that bit of familial relation, would he have treated him so mercilessly earlier?
“Stop, stop. Quickly stop!” Evidently, the Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping had a screw loose and moved first when he didn’t get an answer from her.
Mu Rouke couldn’t even stop him.
She saw the Va.s.sal Prince of Jianping kneel down onto the floor with a flump.
