Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1471

Chapter 1471: Chapter 1466: Hurry, Go

The messenger was walking alongside a general about to don a helmet, babbling as he walked in the direction of Liu Shucheng and his men. Upon seeing the energetic Liu Shucheng and then noticing their own soldiers chasing Liu Hong’s four companions, the messenger and the general were taken aback and stopped.

In just an instant, Liu Shucheng realized that person... was none other than Gao Liujun, the newly appointed commander of the Dongyi Navy.

Liu Shucheng’s eyes darkened, and he shouted, "Kill!"

The four locked onto their target.

The Dongyi Navy’s Commander Gao Liujun saw four men brimming with murderous intent looking his way, inexplicably filled with dread, and instinctively took a step back.

"General, we’ll hold them off!" Two Elite Soldiers of Zhou drew their soft swords from their waists, turned to face the Dongyi Kingdom’s sailors rushing at them with knives, determined to stop those fierce Dongyi sailors in the narrow passage, buying Liu Shucheng and his men time to kill the Dongyi Navy Commander Gao Liujun.

As shadows flickered on the wooden walls of the ship’s cabin, the clash of swords and knives suddenly erupted.

Liu Shucheng and a highly skilled Zhou naval officer drew their slender swords from their waists, a cold light piercing through, filled with malevolence, charging straight towards Gao Liujun.

Seeing this, Gao Liujun retreated anxiously. The messenger, unarmed, used his body to shield Gao Liujun, shouting, "Help! Someone is trying to assassinate the general!"

The moment those words left his mouth, Liu Shucheng pierced the messenger’s throat with a sword, while another excellent Zhou naval soldier following Liu Shucheng stepped on the wooden wall, and as Liu Shucheng withdrew his sword after killing the Dongyi messenger... in the spray of blood mist, his form like a swimming dragon, leapt forward from behind Liu Shucheng, his soft sword buzzing through the air, the blade shimmered like water ripples before straightening out to attack Gao Liujun.

The sharp blade, coated with poison, reflected a chilling dark light in the flickering firelight, the menace reaching even before the blade.

Gao Liujun, unable to don his helmet, steadied himself, retreating while drawing the saber from his waist. Two Hidden Guards who had been guarding him from behind also emerged, one blocking the attack from the Zhou naval soldiers with a heavy black sword, the other thrusting a Longsword towards the chest of the soaked Zhou naval officer.

Seeing this, Liu Shucheng’s eyes widened, stepping swiftly over the Dongyi messenger’s corpse, dodging the Hidden Guard’s sword, pushing aside his soldier, sidestepping... barely passing through the gap between two blades. The soft sword emitted an extraordinarily light sound as it broke through the air, the Hidden Guard’s head, aimed at the naval officer’s chest, fell from the still upright body, the blood hitting the ground... astonishingly black.

The Zhou naval officer pushed back by Liu Shucheng stepped back three paces, looking up to see Liu Shucheng already entangled with Gao Liujun’s other Hidden Guard. Behind him, the two Zhou naval soldiers struggled against the overwhelming Dongyi sailors, their bodies pierced by multiple knives, unsure if the blood on the ground was theirs or the seawater they carried onto the ship.

This best-skilled Zhou naval soldier knew the time was running out; this time... having risked their lives, they must take the enemy nation’s commander’s head.

For some reason, the naval soldier’s mind was suddenly filled with images of his mother sitting at the doorstep, before the sunset had completely fallen, making shoe soles for him.

He roared, charging at the escaping Gao Liujun, his soft sword as flexible as his body, brushing past Liu Shucheng and the Hidden Guard, piercing Gao Liujun’s throat with a sword. But simultaneously, his body was also pierced by the Hidden Guard’s black sword, blood flowing swiftly along the ridges of the black sword, forming a hot, wet red beneath his feet.

Liu Shucheng acted swiftly, and the Hidden Guard did not escape his fate of being killed.

Liu Shucheng gritted his teeth, rushing over to grab his injured companion, pierced by the Hidden Guard’s sword, running toward the other end of the ship. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
