The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara - Chapter 140

“Ahk!”

He spat a mouthful of fresh blood and as he was dropping back to the ground, he saw one arm and one leg descending just above him, and from what he could see, they looked pretty much like his, and it was in that moment he looked at himself and realized that the acrobatic limbs he was seeing were actually his…

‘Am I truly going to die here?’ He thought to himself, and in the next instant, all the pain from the massive blast caught up and assaulted all his senses as he instantaneously blacked out, before landing with a very loud ‘Bang!’

Meanwhile…

The third dynamite dropped just between the thighs of the unconscious King Tian, and just as the Old Scribe saw this, he managed to narrowly extricate himself by jabbing his dagger towards Elder Dong’s face;

Then as Elder Dong raised his sword to block the attack, he saw the leg of Old Scribes heading straight for his groin, and since he could not maneuver in time to block the incoming shameless attack, he was forced to leap backwards about four steps…

The Old Scribe quickly used that opening and bolted towards King Tian, or to be more precise, the dynamite between his thighs whose wick had almost burn out;

Chink!

The sound of metal cutting into concrete floor resounded within the courtyard as the Old Scribe sighed in relief whilst looking at the dynamite wick in his hand which he had managed to sever on time, but just as his sigh ended;

Krruuu!

The sound of something rolling on the concrete floor floated into the Old Scribe’s ears, and just as he looked down at what it was, he instantly blanched in fear when he realized that it was a dynamite that the wick just burnt out right in front of him;

“Next time, make sure not to forget your opponent except if they are already dead…” Elder Dong spoke with a grin as the Old Scribe bellowed;

“You-”

Kaboom!

The dynamite gave him no time for long speech as blood and gore was sent flying into the air before splattering to the ground like rain; but strangely, when everything came down, there were two left arms and pieces of two different cloths on the ground;

“Eh… Did that old goat wear one cloth on top of another?”

Elder Dong asked himself in bewilderment as he made to head over to the formation, but just after he took a single step, his leg froze to the spot as he fearfully turned his head to look behind him where only the lower half of what was formerly King Tian sat, with blood spurting out;

‘What did I just do!?’

Elder Dong’s mind was in chaos as the rest of the Elders waiting outside and the guards they were holding back all rushed in and were also stunned silly when they saw the sheer amount of blood and gore splattered everywhere;

What used to be a very serene, relaxing and peaceful courtyard was now looking like the very bowels of hell;

“Is that King Tian!?”

One of the Elders that just stormed in blurted as his colleagues also looked over and all of a sudden;

Blergh! Blergh! Blergh!

Several of these Elders bowed their heads as they retched their guts out shooting projectiles disgust ion the ground;

“Who did this!?”

Vice Captain Mo of the Royal Guards asked with a solemn expression as Elder Dong instantly realized the repercussion of what just happened as he instantly pointed to Fu who was just helping his comrades into the formation which was just only about three seconds away from activating;

“Hmph! Get them!”

Vice Mo bellowed as he led the way by launching himself towards Fu who gazed towards the incoming Vice Mo with a murderous expression;

“Hmph! Lowly worms…”

“When I return to master, I will surely have my revenge!”

He spat through gritted teeth as Vice Mo realized that he might not get to them on time, but then a smirk crept onto his mouth as he plunged his hands into his robes and swung his hands towards Fu just in time for the formation to activate;

Fu blanched in fear as he saw about six dynamites heading for them and with the way things were panning out, he was sure the teleportation wouldn’t happen before the dynamites arrive…

Thus, he took a quick glance at Chen and gritted his teeth as he decided to take one for his team, but just as he took his first step, a hand grabbed him from behind and yanked him backwards;

Then the figure who yanked him bolted towards the incoming dynamites; Fu’s eyes widened in terror as he screamed;

“Cheng, noooo!” But Cheng simply looked back with a smile and winked back;

“Team leader, you have always been the one to take one for the team, let me also shine this time around!”

Kaboom! Boom!

The first dynamite blew a hole into Cheng’s chest as the rippling explosion set of the remaining five tearing Cheng into chunk sized bits that could be fed to a newborn child…

Fu sat beside Su with his eyes wide in shock, terror and innumerable other emotions as the teleportation finally initiated, cocooning the duo in a bright white ball of light before vanishing with a ‘Swoosh!’ sound…

Vice Mo arrived at the teleportation formation and saw that a part of the rune had been burnt off…

Pata! Pala!

Paka! Pata!

The sound of rushing footsteps floated into the courtyard from the chamber area as the group of Elders saw the Royal Maid rushing in with three other figures in tow, all dressed in white cheongsam…

They were all women and just as they arrived at the courtyard, they frantically asked;

“Where’s his highness, we need to treat him now!?”

They were all women and just as they arrived at the courtyard, they frantically asked; “Where’s his highness, we need to treat him now!?”

The Elders didn’t want to say anything because they didn’t want to be the first to speak of the King’s death;

But at the same time, their eyes kept moving from the women to the unmoving torso on the ground;

Suspicious of their odd gazes, the women traced the Elders’ gazes to the corner of the courtyard beside a huge flower vase where they saw something from their wildest horrors…
