Before Su Lijin could finish her scream, the knife in the hand of the blood-soaked killer had already slashed in front of Xianxian.
Xianxian was so frightened that her face turned pale. She screamed and subconsciously closed her eyes, waiting for death to come: "Help!"
"Hahaha, prepare to die!" The murderer laughed cruelly and chopped the blade towards Xianxian's neck!
"Bang!" Su Lijin leaped over quickly and kicked the knife aside. The murderer's knife was kicked one meter away and he was also kicked on the body.
Protecting the person on the ground behind her, Su Lijin frowned and looked at the man.
The imagined death did not come. Xianxian opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw Su Lijin's back, and then tears came to her eyes.
"Wuwuwu...help me..."
She looked back at Xianxian and saw that she was not in danger of death except for some scratches on her body. Only then did she feel relieved.
"Put down your butcher knife and surrender!" Su Lijin shouted.
Hearing this, a twisted and cruel smile appeared on the killer's face: "Come two, kill a pair, die together!"
After saying that, without giving anyone time to react, Dao Feng looked hard at Su Lijin's neck. His eyes were red, with a murderous, perverted smile that made people frown.
Su Lijin did not dare to be careless. She drew out her sword and faced the blade head-on. Suddenly, there was a sound of metal clashing.
Fortunately, she was quite strong. After a few fights, the killer's face was full of anger, but he couldn't get close to her at all.
A sword pierced the murderer's arm, and the arm was immediately covered in blood.
Just as Su Lijin was about to capture the man, the killer made a feint and suddenly jumped out of the alley and disappeared.
"Damn it, he ran away!" Su Lijin said angrily, gritting her teeth while holding the sword.
"Sister, the brothel in Red Street was slaughtered! Wuuuuu..." Suddenly, Xianxian behind her looked devastated and shouted.
The brothel was massacred?
Su Lijin's grip on the sword suddenly tightened.
She immediately took her to the back door of the brothel.
As soon as she approached the backyard, Su Lijin's brows jumped, and the strong smell of blood in the air made her shudder!
Oh no, the situation inside is probably...
She turned her head to glance at Xianxian, whose face was pale. She pushed open the backyard door suddenly. As soon as she entered and looked at the scene in front of her, her face turned pale and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Even though Xianxian had known that the brothel had been massacred, the despair and collapse on her face only increased when she saw it again.
"Wuwuwu... They are all dead... All dead..." Xianxian's throat was shaking, and it was hard to tell whether it was fear or pain in her voice.
Su Lijin stepped in. Even though she was mentally prepared, her lips turned pale when she saw the hellish scene in front of her.
The backyard, which was originally lush with flowers and leaves and very tidy, was now a river of blood. The sight swept across the ground where corpses were scattered. The girls from the brothel were lying on the ground with twisted bodies, their bodies covered in glaring red blood, and most of them had their eyes wide open with fear, as if they died with their eyes open.
"What on earth is going on?" Su Lijin clenched the sword in his hand, feeling a sense of suffocation in his heart. He really couldn't accept the fact before him.
So many times before, when she came to the brothel, the madam would greet her with a smile, and the girls here were also very cooperative with her, with everyone having a smile on their face.
Now, the images in her mind immediately turned into scenes of hell on earth with rivers of blood, which stimulated her so much that her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Su Lijin walked a few steps inside.
She wanted to investigate and look for clues. The people here couldn't just die for no reason!
However, just as she was about to investigate, she heard rapid footsteps outside, and it seemed that a lot of people were rushing towards here.
"Everyone, hurry up and surround this place!"
Su Lijin glanced at the soldiers' uniforms and frowned slightly.
"No, we can't stay here for long."
Last time, she was taken away by the Dali Temple and was considered a murderer. This time, the brothel was littered with corpses, and she was at the scene again. She simply couldn't explain herself.
Thinking of this, Su Lijin no longer hesitated. She immediately grabbed Xianxian's collar, lifted up the person who had collapsed and was stunned with despair, and flew out of the brothel in a few jumps.
Xianxian must also be taken away; she cannot be left there alone.
However, Xianxian’s situation is special at the moment, and Su Lijin cannot keep her with her. In the end, she has to temporarily arrange for her to stay in someone else’s home.
After settling her down, Su Lijin glanced at the sky. Her beautiful face was tightly pursed with lips, and her complexion was still a little pale, still not recovering from the tragedy just now.
After a pause, she quietly returned to the palace.
As soon as I returned to the palace, I heard people in the inner courtyard of the palace discussing the horrific murder that had happened outside.
"I heard that all the girls in that brothel are dead, not a single one is left alive!"
"It was so tragic! There was blood everywhere, and the soldiers had no place to step!"
"I heard that they were basically all slaughtered. The smell of blood could be smelled from miles away."
Everyone was talking about what they had heard, some true, some exaggerated.
Although they all had some curiosity on their faces, this matter was too cruel. When talking about the horrific places, everyone's face couldn't help but show some fear.
After listening to this, Su Lijin closed her eyes, changed her clothes, and went to the imperial kitchen.
"I wonder if the officers and soldiers have found any useful clues." She pondered.
If the officers and soldiers had not arrived at that time, she would have had to avoid suspicion and escape quickly, and would have looked for clues on her own.
However, the one who currently has first-hand knowledge of the case is the Emperor.
