When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds

Chapter 56: Wu Yu 08 (3)

Like a stream of dense black liquid, the birds came in through the window before gathering behind Yan Yuan, forming what looked like a pair of black devil wings.

A terrifying scene unfolded before me as the birds waited eagerly for their masters orders.

My heart sank as I confronted this ominous view. Yet, I knew I had to mentally shock him so as to waste time. I nodded in reply and said, Thats right. I was also on that ship. Are you not curious about what had happened to us after that day? Or how you gained these powers?

Unexpectedly, he shook his head and said, I dont care. What I know is that I gained this power after that trip. With them, its as if I had gained a sensory boost an army of obedient soldiers that everyone ignores. I used them to slowly find out what had happened to me. How I was abandoned all those years ago. I was able to patiently and carefully orchestrate my flawless punishment, my revenge

Right then, his expression became stern as he pointed at me while the birds behind him called out as if they were furious. If it werent for the two of you, Zifeng wouldnt have died, and they would be suffering now. Suffer for the sins theyve committed and that selfish blood which runs in them! But its fine. I can deal with them in the end. Killing them is a piece of cake.

The second he finished saying that, the birds arranged themselves in an offensive position while staring at me with their vicious, yellowish-brown eyes. I tightened my fists and readied myself for battle. However, a cute image of Tan Jiao wrapping her head up in a T-shirt, putting up a strong front on that hill, surfaced in my mind. I calmed down a lot thinking about that, and my fears went away.

What about the note? The note left at Tan Jiaos home? I fixed my gaze on his face intently, looking for any changes in his expression.

With a calm and nonchalant expression, he replied, What note?

A smile developed on his face, and he said, Youre stalling for time? Unfortunately, I dont have time for you.

I readied myself to rush him. Only by charging him and taking the offensive could I control him. Otherwise, the birds would hinder me, and I would ultimately end up killed by Yan Yuan.

At that critical moment, the sounds of stumbling footsteps echoed from upstairs, catching Yan Yuan by surprise. He lowered his hand, and the flock of birds responded by calming down. I looked toward the stairs and saw Zhu Jirui in a skirt. She was standing there staring at Yan Yuan with sorrow and disappointment. Somehow, she had escaped. Her hair was messy, and there was blood on her lips and tied-up hands.

Yan Yuan was also staring at her.

Zhu Jirui scrambled down the stairs. Although Zhu Zhongling groaned at her for help, she completely ignored him and came before Yan Yuan. Without saying anything, she let out a heart-wrenching cry and grabbed the corner of Yan Yuans shirt.

Veins appeared on Yan Yuans forehead as his eyes widened with anger. Go back upstairs if you dont want to die! Yan Yuan placed the dagger firmly on Zhu Jiruis neck.

However, the latter did not care and only kept hitting Yan Yuan on the chest while crying out, You monster! Were engaged! Engaged!

Yan Yuan pushed her away.

At that moment, I sprung forward and dealt a heavy blow to Yan Yuans head. The latter was caught off guard and fell to the ground hard. I yelled at Zhu Jirui to run; she responded quickly by staggering to her feet and running toward the door.

Unfortunately, a livid Yan Yuan had raised his hand, instructing the birds to block Zhu Jiruis path. I grabbed Yan Yuans hand and twisted it, trying to subdue him. However, he was able to resist me and threw a punch toward my already injured abdomen. I let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground.

Immediately, a group of birds surrounded me. I grabbed a chair and tossed it at them and was able to peek through the dense pack of birds. Behind this curtain of birds, I saw Yan Yuan walking toward Zhu Zhongling with a dagger in hand.
