"Brother Xiao Yu, you should leave now, don't worry about us!"

Yang Niannian grabbed Xiao Yu's hand, stopping him from rushing forward, and said urgently, "They have knives, you should leave!"

"Ersha, you take Niannian and go, I'll fight them to the death!"

Big Fool's eyes widened, and he roared, ready to fight to the death.

"Indeed, I made the wrong friends."

Xiao Yu smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, these chickens and dogs are no match for me, Xiao Shilang. I can crush them like cutting melons and vegetables."

After saying that, he gently pried open Yang Niannian's slender fingers. Because of her long-term farm work, her hands were not so smooth.

It was already hard enough for her and Da Sha to survive in this world, but there were still people who wanted to cause them trouble!

Even if they were just two strangers... Xiao Yu would take action when necessary in such a situation, let alone when they were his good friends.

"Brother Xiao Yu!"

Yang Niannian's fingers were gently pried open, and a look of panic flashed across her pretty face.

Another knife was already slashing towards Xiao Yu's shoulder!

You deserve to die!

A murderous glint flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes as he easily dodged the attack and then grabbed the blade with his other hand.

"You...you, let go!"

The soldier gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands and tugged hard a few times, only to find that Xiao Yu was holding the blade firmly. He panicked.

The next second, Xiao Yu released the blade and lightly flicked it with his finger.

"Bang!"

The blade trembled violently, and the internal force passed through it, tearing the soldier's hand and forcing him to release the blade.

"Do you think you can just take my arm so easily?"

Xiao Yu reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife, then casually swung it once.

Whoosh!

A dazzling blade of light flashed past.

The soldier was stunned, seemingly not realizing what was happening, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

Then he realized that his arm had fallen to the ground, severed at the shoulder, with bright red blood spraying several meters high, directly staining the ground red.

"Ah! My arm... Ahhhhh!"

The soldier writhed on the ground in agony, letting out piercing screams.

"Even if he doesn't die, he'll be crippled."

Xiao Yu said coldly.

With advanced medical skills in this era, such severe injuries would most likely result in death from excessive blood loss.

Even if you don't die from excessive blood loss, a knife wound on your arm can become infected and kill you if not treated properly!

"ah!"

Yang Niannian, who was behind her, was so frightened that she took several steps back. When had she ever seen such a bloody scene?

While feeling scared, Yang Niannian also breathed a sigh of relief... Brother Xiao Yu really wasn't bragging, he really is amazing, maybe we can really break through this time!

Yang Niannian is kind, but she doesn't have a saintly heart. When faced with people who want to hurt her, she feels no pity, but only thinks they deserve it.

"Well done, you silly goose!"

Big Fool shouted excitedly, "I knew you were good at fighting, hehehe!"

You're making me sound stupid by shouting like that!

Xiao Yu disliked being called "Er Sha" (meaning "idiot"), but he had no choice but to pretend he hadn't heard it. He held the knife he was carrying and coldly looked at the other soldiers.

"Those who don't want to die, step back within three breaths!"

Xiao Yu coldly shouted.

The soldiers hesitated for a moment, but they did not retreat, still holding their swords.

Xiao Yu's performance was impressive, but these soldiers were not inexperienced killers. After being caught off guard and shocked, they quickly regained their composure.

They gripped their knives tightly, and when they looked at Xiao Yu again, their eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent!

"He dares to kill the Duke's soldiers?"

Lin's mother was so frightened by this scene that she covered her eyes.

"Xiao Yu, how dare you kill the Duke's soldiers?!"

Liu Yunfei's eyes widened, and he roared, "What are you all standing there for? Chop him down!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers fixed their eyes on Xiao Yu and began their attack.

There were more than twenty soldiers who surrounded Xiao Yu and his group, approaching step by step with their knives raised as if they were about to strike at any moment.

"Brother... what should we do?"

Yang Niannian was so frightened that she kept backing away. Looking at the gleaming knife, she held back her tears and said, "They really dare to kill people."

"I will protect you and Ersha."

Big Fool looked at the knives, gritted his teeth, and prepared to charge forward.

"Don't be afraid."

Xiao Yu comforted the two in a low voice, then a smile suddenly appeared on his lips as he said, "Someone has come to rescue us."

Originally, Xiao Yu was prepared to go on a killing spree, but then... he suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away. With her there, Liu Yunfei wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Is someone coming to rescue us?"

Yang Niannian was completely confused and didn't understand what Xiao Yu was talking about.

"stop!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.

Xiao Yu recognized the voice; it was Jin Mulan, whom he hadn't seen for several days.

Jin Mulan, dressed in a dashing bodysuit with a long black and gold sword at her waist, was walking towards them step by step.

Jin Mulan gripped the hilt of her sword with one hand and held a golden token in the other, shouting, "Who is in charge? How dare they gather a crowd and cause trouble in the capital?!"

"Jin Mulan?"

Upon seeing the golden token in Jin Mulan's hand, Liu Yunfei's expression changed. He quickly dismounted and said, "General Jin, we are arresting three criminals. They caused a disturbance at Baoyue Tower without cause and injured soldiers from the Duke's mansion. I am preparing to take them back for questioning."
