The Princess of Northern Land

Chapter 235 - 235 235 Human Debt(1)_1

?Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Human Debt(1)_1 Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Human Debt(1)_1 “Protect Master Lin and return to the market.” Jue Ming acted decisively, pulling out his sword.

Jue Hui and others also immediately stood in front of Lin Ziyin. Qiaoqiao guarded her on horseback, her face pale. The girl had trained in martial arts, but she had never actually killed anyone before.

But on the battlefield ahead, several black-clothed figures had already been killed or injured, the strong smell of blood was overpowering.

“We cannot delay any longer.” Jue Hui reminded Lin Ziyin in a low voice.

Lin Ziyin nodded, turned her horse around, and prepared to enter the market. There were too many black-clothed figures, only in the market would she truly be safe. Moreover, even with Jue Ming and others defending her, she could be a liability.

“It seems we can’t get in.” But when they actually turned their horses around intending to abandon their rescue efforts, they found that the market entrance was blocked by another group of black-clothed figures. Sensing the danger, the gates of the market had been closed.

“Let us enter.” Some people dressed in commoners’ clothes cried out loudly. Judging by their attire, they were ordinary people from the Northern Land.

“Kill them.” An order was given by the black-clothed figures blocking the market entrance, they immediately charged forward on their horses.

Lin Ziyin and her party suddenly found themselves at the center, surrounded on all sides, like a lamb to the slaughter.

“We’re truly out of luck.” Lin Ziyin gave a bitter smile, “Jue Hui, the safety of those people is in your hands.”

Seeing that amongst the commoners was a child who appeared to be only seven or eight years old, Lin Ziyin couldn’t bear to see them get killed.

“Young Brother, it seems our fates are tied together.” While fighting against the black-clothed figures, Alhatu surprisingly found the inclination to jest with those on Lin Ziyin’s side.

Lin Ziyin stayed silent, her eyes fixed warily on the black-clothed figures.

She had made up her mind; as long as the black-clothed figures did not provoke her team, she would choose to remain a bystander, to watch the unfolding chaos.

“Be careful.” Suddenly, Alhatu, who was fighting fiercely, cried out, charging towards the commoners on his horse.

Following his movement, Lin Ziyin and her group turned to see that some black-clothed figures were charging towards the commoners as well. The commoners cried out in fear, the child crying most severely as a black-clad figure lifted a mighty blade over his head.

Lin Ziyin frowned. Hui Ming and others, anxious to rescue them, were still worried about Lin Ziyin’s safety.

With a clang, Alhatu blocked the attack against the child with his own sword in the nick of time.

“Hurry up and run with the child.” While angrily killing his enemies, Alhatu also reminded the commoners.

The rescued commoners looked at the closed gate, and the black-clothed figures guarding it, clenched their teeth, picked up the child and bolted towards the outskirts.

But the black-clothed figures did not give them an opportunity, as Alhatu was held back, more black-clothed figures moved in.

“Master, watch out.” At the same time, black-clothed figures attacked from Lin Ziyin’s side as well.

Jue Hui galloped towards the commoners on his horse, he had to ensure the safety of the commoners.

Jue Ming and others weren’t idle either; they were engaged in a fierce battle with the black-clothed figures in no time.

Lin Ziyin remained calm and composed, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qiaoqiao, evaluating the situation on the battlefield.

“Master, catch.” Snatching a sword from an enemy, Jue Ming tossed it to Lin Ziyin.

Lin Ziyin caught it effortlessly, continuing to stand motionless.

Despite their numbers, it seemed that the black-clothed figures were not targeting Lin Ziyin or the commoners. Seeing that Lin Ziyin’s group was not to be trifled with, they soon abandoned the idea of attacking Lin Ziyin and focused on engaging Alhatu and his group.
