"kill."
With this one word.
A chilling murderous aura permeated the air.
Cheng Shanshan did not sit idly by and wait for her death. Instead, she rushed over and launched a fierce attack on Ye Xi. Ye Xi was obviously not expected that she would take the initiative and was initially defeated.
But he quickly realized that with so many men under his command, how could he be defeated by a mere girl?
So he shouted loudly, "Brothers, let's go!"
Under the cover of night, eight men in black immediately sprang into action, and the sounds of clashing weapons echoed through the dark alley. It was unclear how long it lasted before silence finally returned.
At this moment, Cheng Shanshan was already injured.
Her plain clothes were stained red with blood, and even her face was cut open, with blood beads flowing out. She had just used all her strength to take down four people, but including Ye Xi, there were still five people left in front of her who were eyeing her covetously.
However, they didn't gain any advantage either, and all of them had injuries of varying degrees. Under these circumstances, Ye Xi was furious: "I didn't expect you, you brat, to have some skills. Today, I refuse to believe that we brothers can't beat you!"
"Just give it a try."
Cheng Shanshan's eyes were cold as she launched a counterattack, unwilling to back down.
Although she didn't want to reveal that she had a spatial dimension, now that she had been forced into this situation, she could only prepare to save her life and quickly start looking for heavy items in her space to use!
Ye Xi waved his hand: "Let's go together!"
Cheng Shanshan narrowed her eyes slightly.
This time she didn't dodge, but waited for the other person to get closer.
That way she can smash everything out at once, leaving the fate of the dead or maimed to them. Of course, if all else fails, she won't hesitate to deliver the final blow.
Unexpectedly, her composure made the other party feel that something was wrong, so instead of stepping forward, they took several steps back.
Ye Xi was somewhat surprised: "What are you doing?"
"This girl's eyes are strange; she might be setting a trap for us!"
"Exactly, I feel chilly too."
"Or...isn't that good enough?"
Ye Xi gritted her teeth, her tone anything but friendly: "What a joke! She's not some kind of immortal being. Are you all afraid of a brat like her? Do you have to be so cowardly?"
"You're calling us cowards?"
These words immediately changed the expressions of the four men: "Ye Xi, you've gone too far! You said before that this girl was easy to deal with, but she's caused the deaths of four of us brothers!"
"That's right, you only gave us a few taels of silver. It's not worth risking your life. You can play by yourself."
The four of them threw down their swords, intending to quit.
How could Ye Xi let them leave? He quickly shouted, "I know what you mean. As long as this matter is settled today, I can give you more money."
That was exactly what I wanted to hear.
The four people exchanged a glance.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Shanshan frowned slightly: "Ye Xi, we have no grudges against each other. Out of respect for your elder brother, I can spare your life if you leave now."
"Oh my, what a big mouth you have!" Ye Xi felt like he had heard the biggest joke in the world. He had already decided to kill Cheng Shanshan: "Even a god couldn't save you today, you must die!"
"good."
Cheng Shanshan didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Since they were determined to kill her, why should she show them any mercy?
As she thought this, she secretly prepared herself, waiting for those people to rush towards her before waving her hand.
Crackle! Crackle!
Bags filled with rice fell from the sky, burying Ye Xi and the others underneath. At first, their struggles and cries could be heard, but soon the four of them fell silent forever.
Only Ye Xilu had half his body exposed. He wanted to escape, but the weight on his body made him look like a lamb to the slaughter: "Cheng Shanshan, you really are a vixen, just as he said!"
"he?"
Cheng Shanshan leaned down to look at Ye Xi, a hint of murderous intent in her eyes: "Who are you talking about?"
Ye Xi gritted her teeth: "Do you think I'd tell you?"
“It’s okay if you don’t tell me.” Cheng Shanshan tapped his head a few times before continuing, “After all, you’re about to die.”
"..."
Ye Xi stared wide-eyed.
He knew Cheng Shanshan wasn't joking.
The fear of death made his voice tremble slightly: "You...you won't kill me."
These words brought a hint of mockery to Cheng Shanshan's eyes: "Then I'd like to know, if I fell into your hands, would you kill me?"
Ye Xi was speechless.
Of course he would kill her.
And they would kill without any mercy, otherwise tonight's events wouldn't have happened.
But he still made a last-ditch effort: "For my elder brother's sake, why don't we just pretend that nothing happened today?"
Cheng Shanshan silently pointed at his neck, exuding a chilling murderous aura: "Instead of bringing up your older brother, tell me who ordered you to come. That way, I might consider it a little."
"I... of course I did it for my sister."
"You'd better believe that, your silly little sister." As Cheng Shanshan finished speaking, she slightly scratched Ye Xi's skin with her fingertips: "How about I guess, tonight you're not just trying to kill me, are you also targeting Huo Mingchen?"
Although she hadn't spent much time with Ye Xi, she could tell from his impulsive behavior that if he really wanted to do something for his sister, he wouldn't make any preparations at all; he would just rush over to her when his temper flared up.
But not only did he hire people, he even devised a plan to lure her into this secluded and hidden alley. It all seemed like a pre-planned scheme, and Ye Xi clearly didn't have the brains for it.
Ye Xi's expression changed: "How did you know?"
He realized he'd fallen into a trap as soon as he said that, but it was too late.
With a wave of her hand, Cheng Shanshan caused all the heavy objects that had been pressing down on him to vanish into thin air. The bizarre sight made Ye Xi instinctively want to run, but unfortunately, he couldn't move his legs.
Cheng Shanshan got up and looked at Ye Xi lying on the ground. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a token with the character "Dong" written on it that had fallen out of his sleeve. She immediately understood everything: "So that Prefect Dong is not dead after all."
“Yes, he’s still alive.” Ye Xi was also going all out: “So what if you kill me? That Huo guy will definitely die, and then Ping’an City will still belong to Prefect Dong. None of you will be able to escape.”
Cheng Shanshan was startled.
Tonight might be when Huo Mingchen is least on guard. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to him.
While she was worrying, Ye Xi suddenly had a murderous glint in his eyes, and then a dagger appeared in his hand, which he thrust straight toward Cheng Shanshan's heart!
