I Am This Type of Woman

Chapter 100

Bang!

The sturdy courtyard door slammed against the wall. It voiced a desperate protest, but in the end plummeted weakly.

“Hua Hua!” Rong Xia’s hands on the bow halted, he sharply yelled, “Why are you here. Go!”

“Shut up!” Ban Hua roared back.

With her hair and body drenched in rain, the outer robe became cumbersome. Ignoring Rong Xia, she pulled the hem of her skirt and stucked it around her waist. This was all done in a flash of lightning, while at the same time dodging the attack of two assassins.

The assassins did not expect that a woman would come charging at them. When they managed to be see who she was, they tried to stop her without killing. Obviously they knew her and had some reservation.

Their hesitation gave Ban Hua the chance to crash through the siege and came to Du Jiu.

“Injured?” Ban Hua wiped the water from her face. Her sword tilted, crimson blood mixed with rain water dripped along the blade, splashed on the green stone floor.

Ban Hua’s sword was very light and sharp. Each of her moves was acute, fast and silent, blinding the eyes.

Du Jiu covered his wound, he was still unable to digest what has just happened.

Just when he thought tonight was the day of his death, here came Fule Junzhu and her two female guards breaking through the siege. The way she wielded the sword, the swift motion of her tying up the skirt, it was as if he was in a fierce battlefield watching the display of a heroic aura.

In this night of lightning and thunder, Du Jiu started to believe what the old Duke Jingting once said.

Fule Junzhu was the one who resembled him the most, and her martial arts skill was astonishing.

Outsiders watch the show, insiders see the way. Many in Daye knew swordplay, but most did it just to train the body, much like his own master. Fule Junzhu was different, her every move was delivered with a sharp edge, with that air of oppressive chillness.

T/N – Outsiders watch the show, insiders see the way外行看热闹,内行看门道 = only if you really get into something that you learn the knack, as opposed to those who can only see the surface.

The only thing she lacked was a killing aura. Only those who had experienced the battlefield could earn a killing aura.

In the flash moment of a lightning strike, an arrow shot out of the sleeve, it was targetting Rong Xia who was standing behind Du Jiu and Ban Hua. Rong Xia moved and avoided it, but the assassins were prepared, another one soon took aim at him.

“Master!” Du Jiu’s eyes were almost rolled out of the sockets. In desperation, his sword flew and stabbed the assassin’s chest. At that instant, an assassin who looked to have fallen suddenly raised a hand towards Rong Xia.

“Master!”

Du Jiu’s body chilled, a bottomless fear shook the bones.

“Ding!” A silver blade blocked the arrow, the tip of the blade shuddered and the arrow dropped. Ban Hua leapt up, her one feet stomped on the assassin’s chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood, the eyes rolled white and he passed out.
