202: 202 Chapter: A Trap or a Self-Inflicted Snare?_1 202: 202 Chapter: A Trap or a Self-Inflicted Snare?_1 Even if no one mocked the Long Family. But the people of the Long Family were very clear that, in the matter of Lord Long, they had definitely made a huge fool of themselves. The once absolutely top-tier aristocratic clan of the Capital City, even though it had fallen now. Had already dropped out of the ranks of the first-class families. But they were still not weak, so how come they were severely injured by a dog they looked down upon? Not only were more than a dozen family experts killed. Even the Family Head was wiped out. This person, really lost big face. The key issue was that up to now, they hadn’t even caught Ghost Blade, which was the most frustrating thing. Today’s Ghost Blade was like a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Long Family members! It could fall at any moment. It could make them pay a price at any moment. This kind of stifling and unpleasant feeling was almost driving people mad. “Isn’t the trap ready yet?” Long Musheng looked at Long Chen and said indifferently. He still had a lot of respect for this number one expert of the Long Family. Although his own strength was not bad, he was still young, and at least for now, he couldn’t compare with Long Chen. “It’s ready, but some Elders are unwilling to let you take the risk, so they’ve been dragging their feet!” Long Chen said. “There’s no need to delay any longer, if we drag on, our Long Family truly becomes a joke! Still the same words, even if I die, I must slaughter that Ghost Blade.” Long Musheng said coldly, “What’s more, it won’t be so easy for him to kill me!” Long Musheng being able to become the new Family Head of the Long Family wasn’t just because he was the son of the previous patriarch. It was also because he excelled in various aspects. Good at managing complex alliances, with strong tactics. His martial arts were not weak either. The Long Family’s trap was well-prepared. And there was an absolutely reasonable excuse. That was to send the ashes of the former Family Head to the burial ground. This was something that had to be done by Long Musheng personally. The news spread quickly. Many people were guessing whether this was a plot by the Long Family, or if they had no choice? After all, the ashes couldn’t be kept at home forever, they need to be laid to rest. Everyone was watching this event, wanting to see if Ghost Blade would make a move. After all, this was a rare opportunity. Not many people could enter the burial grounds. This might be the time when the number of bodyguards around the Long Family Patriarch was the least. Some people felt that Ghost Blade would definitely show up. After all, this was his style. Even if he knew it was a trap, he would still step right into it, because he had lived long enough. Only ten people followed Long Musheng into the burial grounds. Including Long Chen. They had checked the surroundings, found no one, and detected no situations. The ashes were buried. But Ghost Blade never showed up. Long Chen let out a sigh of relief, but also felt some disappointment. If Ghost Blade had shown up this time, he would definitely have killed him. Otherwise, he couldn’t hold onto his status as the best martial artist of the Long Family. Everyone was very solemn. Very vigilant. Even though Ghost Blade did not appear, they were still as serious as always. “Let everyone withdraw!” Long Musheng suddenly said. “With so many people around, even if he wanted to make a move, he probably wouldn’t have a chance. If we want to lure him out, we have to give him an opportunity!” “But Family Head, that’s too dangerous!” Long Chen shook his head and said, “Ghost Blade’s concealed weapon mastery is very superb, the old Family Head exactly fell victim to it!” “Listen to me!” Long Musheng said coldly. Long Chen reluctantly waved his hand, not knowing what Long Musheng was thinking. All ten bodyguards retreated. In the whole burial ground, only Long Musheng and Long Chen were left. For a long while, Ghost Blade still didn’t appear. Long Chen shook his head and said, “He probably won’t come!” “Yes, maybe he is already dead, or perhaps he feels it’s about enough and has given up?” Long Musheng sighed. He was actually quite looking forward to the appearance of Ghost Blade. After all, it marked the beginning of his tenure as the Long Family Patriarch, and if he could personally slay Ghost Blade, his prestige would soar to great heights. “I’ll kowtow to the old Family Head, and then we can go!” Long Musheng knelt down. However, in that instant, he suddenly felt the hairs on his neck stand on end, a sense of deadly threat he had never experienced before descended upon him. He instinctively leaned backward. A cold gleam shot up from beneath the ground, shearing off his nose, and blood poured out. “Long Chen!” Long Musheng cried out without care for taking to the air. Although he was very calm before Ghost Blade appeared, even thinking he could kill Ghost Blade himself, the moment Ghost Blade showed up, he was truly scared. He felt like a devil crawling out of hell, his whole body emanating a terrifying aura of killing intent. It paralyzed him, preventing any movement. He was formidable. But before Ghost Blade, he was nothing but a maggot! Ghost Blade, his attack having missed, leapt directly out from the dirt. He had waited here for Long Musheng for a whole day and night. Without eating, without drinking. All for this moment. The sharp edge of the blade thrust out once again. But by this time, Long Chen had already arrived. Iron Fist blocked Ghost Blade’s cold gleam, ringing out with a crisp sound. “Help, somebody help!” Long Musheng had completely lost his earlier courage. He screamed frantically. The bodyguards outside, upon hearing this, rushed towards the mausoleum. Ghost Blade’s gaze was icy cold, fixed only on Long Musheng. Because he knew he couldn’t kill Long Chen. He chose to dodge all of Long Chen’s attacks with evasive maneuvers. In preparation for this assassination, he had even studied the surrounding environment. Including every brick, every heap of incense ash. All of it could be utilized. He suddenly kicked up the incense ash at his feet. The ash flew up, and Long Chen had to retreat. Even if he was strong, if his eyes were blinded, he wouldn’t escape Ghost Blade’s fatal strike. “Hiss!” The sound of Black Blade piercing flesh rang out. Long Chen was terrified. If Long Musheng were killed under his protection, then it would indeed be his duty to apologize with his life. Although he also carried the surname Long, that surname was bestowed upon him by the Long Family, not his original one. He wasn’t a true member of the Long Family. He twisted his head in panic to look. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was one of the Long Family’s bodyguards who had been stabbed. The bodyguard had shielded Long Musheng, taking the deadly strike meant for him, but at the cost of his own life. Ghost Blade’s strike having missed, he continued to maneuver around. He flicked something from his hand. It struck Long Musheng’s leg. Long Musheng tried to flee but collapsed straight to the ground. Taking advantage of the mound’s height, Ghost Blade vaulted into the air, Black Blade swinging down. “Save me–!” Unable to move, Long Musheng screamed in terror. At this moment, Long Chen had already lunged over, but it was simply too late to save him. This was what he most feared. He was stronger than Ghost Blade, but protecting someone made things complicated. He wasn’t skilled with hidden weapons. He couldn’t break things from a distance. He could only fight up close.

Of course, they too were cut down. Ghost Blade truly seemed like a devil! No surprise, no emotion. In the face of those bodyguards, his Black Blade continuously slashed out.
