Forsaken Immortals Chapter 120 - The Bai Family

Chapter 120 - The Bai Family

Seeing the Fire Horses that were charging right at them, Bai Rouyun did not panic. She grasped the sword handle tightly and changed her stance.

Flowing Feather Step!

Lightning Sword Strike!

The sword was like a lightning strike that came crashing down. The speed was outstanding, and the swordlight that was emitted caused the Fire Horses to neigh in shock.

The strike filled with swordlight landed on one of the Fire Horses. While it did not manage to sever the head, a long and deep gash appeared on one of the beasts' neck, causing blood to flood out, and the beast collapsed on the ground. The last of its breath began dissipating.

The remaining four Fire Horses were completely enraged, their hoofs were stomping on the ground as flames began erupting on their body, emanating extreme heat in their surroundings.

It was not without a reason that the horses were referred to as Fire Horses. They had a little control over flames, and the more enraged they were, the more flames they could summon. Right now, the four remaining beasts almost had all their fur shrouded in a coat of fire.

Bai Rouyun did not panic. She had not slowed down her advance after unleashing the Lightning Sword Strike; she had already lifted the sword, getting ready for the next attack.

Cloudsky Sword!

This sword was not as swift as the Lightning Sword Strike, but it was better when facing a group of beasts.

Qi rolled out of Bai Rouyun's body and crashed onto the Fire Horses in waves. They came one after another, and due to the help of the martial art technique, each wave was heavier than the previous, causing the group of beasts to be pushed back.

Traceless Kill!

This was Bai Rouyun's certain kill technique. It had many downsides, but it was also the best ability to ensure that the enemy did not survive. It was ruthless, swift, and deadly.

As she executed the Traceless Kill technique, one more Fire Horse was unable to stay alive. There was a deep wound on the chest, which had pierced the heart directly, causing the beast to collapse, never to stand up again.

Bai Rouyun's expression was devoid of emotions. She had killed numerous people in her past life for the sake of survival; what did it matter to kill a few beasts now?

These beasts were not too intelligent. It was true that beasts could become as smart as humans, and sometimes even smarter, but that required them to be at a higher rank.

Bai Rouyun never saw herself as a saint. She could kill humans and beasts alike if necessary. She would do anything to protect her life and her loved ones.

The teacher was looking at her fighting against the Fire Horses with a gleam in his eyes. She did not look like anyone he knew, but the feeling was so similar.

Although her age was wrong, everything pointed towards her being the woman he had been tasked with finding.

Bai Rouyun was not unaware that she was being stared at by the teacher, but she knew that she could not afford to lose her focus while fighting. Although these Fire Horses mainly attacked on instinct, they still outnumbered her, and their strength was equal to hers.

She needed to use her martial art techniques and her agility to avoid their attacks.

The more she fought, the easier the battle became. She used a few attacks to kill the Fire Horses one after another.

Every move she made was deadly, and while she was alert and cautious, she did not waste any time either and was capable of killing the beasts in a very short time.

When she finished, she began cleaning the corpses of their treasured materials. She took the manes and tails, and wrapped them up in a bundle before placing them in her Qiankun bag.

After this, she began to dig out the Beast Cores, which she also stored, and then she considered what else might be worth something.

She was completely ignoring the teacher, but her actions did not enrage him. Instead, he felt more and more confident that he had found the right figure.

But he was hesitating. He had read the file for the Ice Phoenix Bai Rouyun and how she had died. If he went up to this woman and claimed that he knew her ident.i.ty, wouldn't she become unusually paranoid and guarded against him?

Although he had a good reason to look for her, and although he could determine her location due to the soul jade he had been given before coming to this continent, he knew that she might never approve of what he had to say, so he had to be careful.

Not to mention, he had investigated the life of the current Bai Rouyun too, and knew that not only was she married, she was also just recently cured of her disabilities.

"My name is Bai Mulan," the man said as he looked at the young woman in front of him, and a gentle light shone in his eyes.

"I am the son of the housekeeper of the Bai Manor on Wushi Continent. I came to this continent in search of someone who went missing around thirty-four years ago.

"She was the young miss of the Bai family, but there was unrest in the family back then. Two different sons fought to take over the role as the family patriarch, and the younger son kidnapped the rightful heir's daughter.

"The loss of their daughter was a significant blow to the Patriarch and his wife; they have been searching for her throughout these thirty-four years, but they found no traces before ten years ago.
