CHAPTER 217: Spared? (2)

The other black robe men didn't stand on ceremony anymore, they draw their weapons and started attacking. Thankfully, although there are hundreds of them, they aren't that hard to deal with. With the help of the variant spirit plants and their high grade weapons and skills they aren't in a disadvantage.

Captain shadow was even more surprised of their growth, these kids were just timid and crybabies when he first meets them. Now they could even withstand hundreds of their junior assassins.  He wondered if the person he betrayed was still alive too, but he didn't dare to asked out loud in fear of hearing the answer he didn't want to hear the most.

"is he---" he finally gathered enough courage to asked but was cut off short when little lavender coiled his leg, his eyes widened when his left leg instantly lost all feeling. He barely dodged the gleaming butterfly dagger flying swiftly to his face.

"what's wrong captain? Didn't you always scolded us for being timid?" little yu yi teased coldly as her small figure back flip, her legs were caught by little lavender and she uses it as a leverage to thrust herself forward like a butterfly agilely bouncing in a boomerang.

Captain shadow stumbled as he fell to the ground forcefully in order to avoid little yu yi's attack, however his eyes widened when he saw little yu si's little figure holding a black incense burner looking down at him. Before he knew it the incense burner emitted white foggy smoke with sweet fragrance, when he inhaled it his senses calmed down and he felt drowsy instantly.

'bad news' he thought before his eyes close tiredly. The last thing he saw is the white smoke like a fog swallowed the entire palace. He then heard loud thuds of bodies falling down one by one as he loses his consciousness. After that he was having the best dream of his entire lifetime that makes him not to wake up anymore.

…

At the same time in jade empire. Troops suddenly appeared just a few miles from their borders, intercepting the advancing troops from jade empire. They're on their way to launch an attack to jade moon kingdom.

General chang didn't make an eye catching entrance like huang xin and yu yue. They waited until the advancing troops from jade empire pass through the narrow valley, they laid traps in the way.

The jade empire would have never expected something like this. General chang is a veteran general after all, he was known for his methods of using topography to their advantage. He was really looking forward to meet an old acquaintance.

He clenched his raging sword tightly as he recalled what happened to him before, he was send by the jade empire to invade the borders of phoenix empire. In the end he loses more than half of his troops and his legs ends up getting crippled.

He was then deemed useless, one of the generals is always envious of him so he dug a pit for him. The emperor just watched him coldly as the heart voodoo cursed was implanted on him. He was then forced to become a spy; his clan was even exiled from the empire.

He always thought of seeking vengeance, but who would have thought it came so soon.
