12 Savings Twins Princesses

(Really? Was that really okay?)

While Ling Tian was mulling over those matters, by coincidence, it really was a coincidence, one coincidence on top of another, the girl's line of sight matched Ling Tian's.

Noticing him, her face distorted with fear and anger. Seeing that, Ling Tian felt he could no longer run away.

Another man came over with a sack.

The man suddenly started moving; he focused his line of sight on the young girl and let go of the sack.

"Ah!"

With a thud, a soft resigned voice resounded from inside the sack.

"Kya~"

From inside the bag, a young girl similar in age was kicked letting out a similar voice.

"Che— Oi, she's not injured right?"

In a tired voice, the leader asked the man carrying to sack to verify the content's safety.

With an evil grin, the subordinate opened the bag to confirm.

They were distracted, it was now or never.

(Damn it all!)

Ling Tian wrapped his entire body in Spiritual Qi in an instant and launched himself like a bullet. No other human being his age would be able to achieve the same speed.

He was shocked at the acceleration and resistance he never felt before. Even with his flesh reinforced, his body was still that of a child's and should not be able to produce something to this extent.

The success of failure would be decided in an instant so immediately Ling Tian seized the initiative.

"huh?"

The first to notice Ling Tian was the leader and he immediately drew his blade. But in that short moment, Ling Tian was already in front of him.

"Gu ha."

Without letting the chance slip by, he twisted the leader's elbow dislocating his joints before throwing him.

He flawlessly executed techniques learned from the Ling House.

By reinforcing his body, he was able to throw a grown man twice his size.

The leader did not know anything about how he spectacularly hit the ground with a loud sound.

(Next!)

Ling Tian was already moving his body.

"Eh?"

He gathered all his power and drove a kick into the abdomen of the man standing beside him. Using that force and his opponent's own weight, Ling Tian slammed the thug into the ground.

"GAH!"

Confirming his opponent was unconscious, he prepared to face the remaining thugs.

"This brat!"

Enraged by the loss of their companions, the remaining two chose to face Ling Tian together.

If they took the girl hostage, the situation would be hopeless.

Multiple opponents meant they had more choices than him.

Ling Tian was afraid of that.

However, the men were suffocated by their emotions that they forgot to adopt the most effective means.

"Dieeeee!"

Brandishing a 50 cm long sword, one of the thugs rushed and slashed at Ling Tian.

He avoided the blade by sidestepping and launched a counter with his palm aimed at his opponent's chin.

The counter connected with the thug's chin and instantly knocked out him out.

"Y-You bastard!"

The last thug desperately brandished his blade but could not even come close to landing a hit on Ling Tian.

Avoiding the poor swordsmanship, Ling Tian slipped into the man's bosom, grabbed the thug's hand and forcefully twisted, disarming and making him unable to hold the weapon. He then knocked the thug out with a throw.

"Haa… Ha…"

I did it.

I ended up doing it.

Before he realized it, his body moved on its own.

It was strange for him to risk his life to save a young girl he never even met before.

Ling Tian did not move an inch from where he was standing, because he was out of breath.

He felt his body temperature rising and his heart beating so wildly that he could hear it resounding throughout his body.

"SHUT UP", he nearly screamed those words.

He was unable to deliver the final blow to the thugs.

He could not bring himself to kill them.

But he still had the skill and strength to overpower them and lightly damage their internal organs.

The damage was only to the extent where they lost consciousness.

Given the current situation, it would not be strange if they were fatally injured and died.

All kinds of terrible outcomes flooded Ling Tian's mind.

If by some chance the thugs died from their injuries, Ling Tian would be unable to cope with the sense of guilt.

He currently lacked the resolution to kill another human being.

No problems would exist if he could calmly kill a person.

But he was not that kind of person.

And undoubtedly, none of the thugs were dead.

So he did not kill anyone yet.

Still all kinds of excuses for killing them popped up in his mind. Realising the kind of thoughts he was harboring made him feel disgusted.

What's done is done.

At least he would not be blamed for helping the two young girls.

Ling Tian fought down the emotions he was feeling to prevent them from showing on his face. He suddenly remembered the existence of the two girls and noticed one of them was watching him in awe.

The two girls resembled each other in appearance.

One of them was still trying to free herself from the sack while the one that got herself kicked was already freed.

From their violet-blonde hair and identical faces, Ling Tian concluded the two were sisters.

The one who was causing a ruckus earlier was the elder sister while the one still trying to free herself was the younger sister.

"Are… you alright?"

Still breathing roughly, Ling Tian timidly greeted the sisters.

The elder sister glared sharply at Ling Tian.

From her glare, Ling Tian found it difficult to believe they were the same age.

Ling Tian's train of thought halted for a second.
