"Brother, Dad, Mom..."

She closed her eyes in despair.

In that instant, the clouds parted and the moon appeared, and Xiaoxi heard the clear sound of iron rings. She opened her eyes.

A ray of moonlight shone through the bright tiles of the roof of the opposite hall and landed on the crescent-shaped sword enshrined on the altar.

That beam of light then refracted from the crescent blade onto the diamonds on Xiaoxi's dress.

"My eyes!"

The diamond reflected a blinding light, stinging the assassin's eyes.

The light from the crescent moon seemed to give Xiaoxi a bit of power. Her consciousness was briefly restored, and she picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the source of the sound.

The sniper was hit between the eyebrows and fell off the wall.

Just as Xiaoxi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another infrared light spot, invisible to the naked eye but perceptible, aimed at her.

She rolled on the spot to dodge the gunfire and instinctively ran towards the main hall that gave her a sense of security.

Xiaoxi jumped onto the altar and stood right in the moonlight. She saw the third assassin already lying on the screen wall, his gun pointed at her.

The instant the assassin pulled the trigger, Xiaoxi picked up the crescent moon from the altar.

With the crescent moon in her hand, she was suddenly infused with immense power. She could even see the trajectory of the bullet as it flew, and she slashed at the incoming bullet with her blade.

The bullet exploded in mid-air, and Xiaoxi quickly swung her crescent moon sword to deflect the flying shrapnel.

A shrapnel bullet struck the crescent moon with a "clang," and the crescent moon's rebound force sent the shrapnel directly hitting the assassin. The assassin, his mouth slightly agape, was killed in shock and resentment.

Xiaoxi then realized that she had broken through her limits the moment she wielded the Crescent Moon Blade.

Breakthroughs in the late stage of Qi Refining are incredibly perilous. At this moment, the Crescent Blade continues to transmit a steady stream of spiritual energy until her damaged consciousness is repaired.

At this moment, all was quiet, and there were no more assassins.

Xiao Xi put down the crescent moon and slumped onto the altar.

Just now, at the critical moment of life and death, she heard the crisp sound of iron rings. It was this crescent blade that was automatically adjusting its angle to receive the moonlight and then reflecting it onto the diamonds on her dress.

Because this crescent blade has three iron rings on it.

"Thank you, Crescent Blade."

The crescent moon shone brightly once more in response to Xiaoxi.

Next, we need to deal with the scene quickly.

Xiaoxi dragged the three assassins' bodies together, and then she came to her senses.

"What?! I killed someone!"

Xiaoxi never imagined that one day she would kill someone; her mind suddenly went blank.

She grasped the crescent moon again with both hands, seeking a sliver of comfort.

The crescent moon rang in her mind, as if encouraging her.

Yes, if I don't kill them, they will kill me. I can't die; I still have my brother, my father, and my mother.

Xiaoxi stood up with unwavering resolve, walked towards the killers' corpses, and pulled off their masks.

Huh? The assassin who came to finish her off was actually the older brother who had deliberately lured her there.

Xiao Xi remained expressionless as she took out a talisman from her small bag. This was one of the talismans she could only use after her breakthrough.

The crimson flames quickly reduced the two assassins to ashes, as if nothing had ever happened.

Xiaoxi carefully inspected the Wang family ancestral temple again.

Their ancestral temple was quite impressive; the first hall was adorned with this crescent moon sword, and the next hall was filled with ancestral tablets.

What happened today couldn't have been the Wang family. They're not that stupid to carry out an assassination in their own ancestral home or family temple. There must be someone else behind it.

Is it worth sending out three snipers at the same time to kill a little girl?

This matter is definitely not simple.

But no matter what, it all happened at the Wang family's place. Humph, we haven't settled the score for Wang Qian hiring someone to kidnap her yet.

The crescent moon sword resonated once more within her consciousness, sending out a plea for help like the beams of the Dong family's house.

The Crescent Moon saved her and helped her heal, proving that the Crescent Moon had reconnected with its master.

Lost in thought, Xiaoxi suddenly heard many people outside searching for her.
