Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 532: Awakening of the Elder Liu

The three guards slipped inside the bedchambers which belonged to Liu Hui Ying. They were quieter than the rustle of the wind as they stepped inside the room, with their agile feet they jumped past the decorations that were scattered all over the place.

The leader of the three guards looked around, his eyes darting back and forth as he turned his attention to the bed where Liu Hui Ying was asleep. He looked at his colleagues before nodding as he signed them to move closer to bed. His underlings followed behind, their eyes focused on the figure that lay on the bed and their hands reached for the daggers that they were hiding under their clothes.

They were ordered to kill Liu Hui Ying cleanly, thus they wanted to slit her throat without spilling blood and then have her body hung from the ceiling to make it look like she committed suicide.

Thus, the leader silently ordered his subordinate who was skilled in killing without spilling blood before falling back. The assassin on the left nodded before walking ahead of his leader. His eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he gripped his dagger in his hand tightly and then swiped it on the curtain, his speed was so fast that even the sound of the fabric being slashed did not echo in the room.

Thrilled by his success, the assassin slowly climbed up the bed. His feet landed on the mattress without dipping it even the slightest. He was using his martial arts skills to make sure that his body was lighter than a feather and Liu Hui Ying would not feel a thing.

He slowly approached the body lying in the middle of the bed before turning and looking at his two partners who nodded at him.

Only then did the assassin reach out and then snatch the blanket that was covering the body. However ——

As soon as he pulled the thick blanket that was covering Liu Hui Ying's body, he found that there was nothing under it. Instead of Liu Hui Ying, there was a thick pillow lying inside the blanket!

So where did Liu Hui Ying go?

The assassin's eyes widened when he realized that their plan had been discovered, he turned on his feet wanting to tell his partners but before he could even open his mouth, something cold and sharp embedded inside his body causing blood to rush into his mouth.

As pain shot through his body, the assassin's eyes trembled. He spat a mouthful of blood. A blotch of blood appeared on the newly set bedsheet on the bed as the light in the eyes of the assassin who tried to kill Liu Hui Ying vanished and he fell on the bed with a thump.

"Who is there?" When the leader saw that his underling had fallen, he felt that something was amiss. He immediately took out a smoke bomb to throw and escape but before he could do it, a sharp dagger came flying and slit his wrist before he could drop the bomb.

It was the same dagger that the other assassin was holding earlier and wanted to use it to deal with Liu Hui Ying.

The leader's eyes widened when he realized that his right hand was lying limply on his side. He did not think that someone could slit his wrist so accurately and that too to the point that he would not be able to use it.

His subordinate also felt that something was amiss which was why he pounced on the smoke bomb. He wanted to throw it and escape, his fingers almost touched the smoke bomb but then suddenly his vision twisted and he felt something amiss.

The subordinate's eyes flickered as he turned to look at the figure behind him and was stunned when he saw that it was none other than Liu Hui Ying. Didn't they say that she was just a useless woman who did not know anything? How come she could match their martial arts skills, no it could be said that she was even better than him, maybe even better than his leader!

His gaze however did not linger on Liu Hui Ying for long instead his gaze fell on his body that was stumbling back. Blood spouted out of his neck from where his head had been detached. The assassin's eyes widened at the sight of his decapitated body but then his life vanished from his eyes as well. freēwēbnovel.com

His head which had been cut off flew in an arch and then swept past the room before it reached the sliding door. The impact caused the paper of the sliding door to tear up and a second later, his head flew past the door and smashed against the wall.

Blood and flesh splattered all over the wall before trickling down the wall.

Nanny Gong and Xiao Ai who were sleeping outside the door woke up when they heard the sound. They thought that Liu Hui Ying had dropped something but when they recovered from the haze that was surrounding their eyes they saw the head of the assassin lying on the floor.

"AHHHH!" Xiao Ai let out a scream when she saw the head of the assassin lying in front of her. She did not expect to see something like this upon opening her eyes. Even Nanny Gong was stunned when she saw the detached head, however, she did not waste her time screaming as she realized that something was wrong.

"YOUR MAJESTY!" Nanny Gong shouted in panic, she scrambled to her feet and then rushed to open the door. As soon as Xiao Ai heard Nanny Gong's scream, she realized that Liu Hui Ying was in danger and she too stopped screaming before scrambling on her feet and then rushing inside the room.

However, as soon as she rushed inside the room, Xiao Ai paused as she looked at Liu Hui Ying who was battling with the last assassin. However that was not what made her stop, it was Liu Hui Ying's eyes. They were pitch black with glowing red pupils, like a demon.

------------------------

"What…what is happening?" Xiao Ai was scared stiff when she saw that Liu Hui Ying's eyes had turned into one of that of a demon. She could not understand what was happening with her missy, this was not something that happened because of allergy right?

Nanny Gong was also surprised but she was still in a better condition than Xiao Ai. As she was more experienced than Xiao Ai and thus she knew better than to lose her mind while facing such a situation. She turned to look at Xiao Ai and then said, "What are you looking at? Go and bring someone for help!"

She did not know what was happening with her missy but she knew one thing and that was, her missy was in pain!

Xiao Ai snapped out of her daze and then nodded before rushing out of the courtyard. As soon as she turned away and ran out of the courtyard, Nanny Gong turned to look at the woman who was holding a sword in her hand and moving back and forth on her feet. She was overwhelming the assassin who was now lying on the floor with his abdomen bleeding as he covered his wound with his hand.

He was crawling while trying to get away from the woman who seemed like the reincarnation of the demon. The leader of the assassins could not understand how was it possible for a woman to be this strong, she was so skilled that he felt like he was fighting with the God of War.

"L...Let me go…" the leader begged. Though he was trained to give up his life, when he was staring at the doors of death, he could not help but plead for his life. The leader did not want to die, he was really afraid of death at the very moment but more than that he was afraid of dying in the hands of this woman who was not only ruthless but she was also playing with them as if they were her toys.

Even in his death, she was not allowing him to die peacefully, how could he not be troubled?

Liu Hui Ying smiled upon hearing his words, however, it was not Liu Hui Ying who was awake but her elder sister who had woken up upon seeing danger approach her sister. She reached out and pressed her foot on the back of the man who was trying to kill her sister when she was sleeping, she raised the sword and then brought it down at the back of the leader. But she did not puncture any vital organs.

Instead, she hit the spot which was most vulnerable in the human body causing the man to cough out blood as he opened his mouth to scream but he was in so much pain that even moving his mouth took him a lot of effort.

He closed his eyes and then rolled them many times before grunting and saying, "I…will speak…I will speak just..let me go."
