Chapter 44 Mutation
The voice was sharp and abrupt, like a sharp sword, splitting the leisurely expressions of everyone.
Along with the commotion and sharp sounds, screams and wails could be heard one after another, and people surged over as if they were being chased by someone.
Everyone looked panicked and anxiously looked in the direction of the sound. What they saw was shocking. They were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they froze on the spot.
What caught everyone's eyes were a dozen or so masked men in black. These men in black were holding daggers in their hands and running towards this side, chopping people frantically as if they were cutting melons or vegetables.
The originally festive and lively Lantern Festival was torn into pieces by this incident. People were constantly being chopped down, falling down and being trampled. The blood spread, dyeing Chong'an Street red and also dyeing people's eyes red.
People had no power to resist those men in black and were like lambs to be slaughtered.
When they came to their senses, the people in front of Yanxiangzhai realized that it was too late to run away.
"Yingfeng, go stop those people!" Xuan Shaoqing shouted urgently, and was the first to jump out of the window.
"Prince!" Yinfeng exclaimed and followed closely behind.
Ji Huaixuan's eyes widened: "Xuan Shaoqing, your injuries haven't healed yet! Are you trying to kill yourself? Hurry up, let's hurry up, Bajiao, protect the prince!"
However, Xuan Shaoqing and his four companions were unable to stop all the men in black.
Panic spread in people's hearts.
"Ah!" Miss Fang let out a sharp scream. Looking at the men in black who were getting closer and closer, her eyes widened with fear and she fell to the ground. She looked at their approaching figures in despair, shaking like a sieve!
"Miss! Miss, what happened to you?" Miss Fang's maid was also weak and tried to help her up while crying, but she also fell down.
It wasn't just Miss Fang. Most of the people present were girls and maids. They had never seen such a scene before. They were all frail and had already collapsed to the ground with pale faces and tears streaming down their faces. Even those who still had the strength to escape didn't care about others. They only regretted that their parents hadn't given them a few more legs.
"Qingying, Qingzhi, protect Wan'er!" Seeing this, Yuan Ziyu pulled out the dagger tied to his calf, gave a warning, and rushed towards the men in black.
"Yes, Second Miss!" Qingying and Qingzhi responded quickly, protecting Huo Wan: "Second Miss, please be careful!"
"Don't worry!" Yuan Ziyu had not finished speaking when he started fighting with the man in black.
"Sister You, I want to go too!" When Huo Wan saw Yuan Ziyu rushing forward, she wanted to follow without thinking!
"Ms. Wan, no!" Qingying and Qingzhi hurriedly stopped Huo Wan.
Wu Ying and Wu Hen also hurriedly grabbed Huo Wan's hand: "My girl, you must not do this!"
"Hey, let me go!" Huo Wan was still young, and after struggling for a long time, she couldn't break free from the shackles of the four maids. She could only anxiously watch Yuan Ziyu and the man in black fighting, her face full of worry: "Sister You, you must be careful!"
Everyone present was also shocked by Yuan Ziyu's rushing action. Watching Yuan Ziyu moving among the men in black, they couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that Yuan Ziyu would suddenly be injured. At this time, Yuan Ziyu was like a god in their hearts.
Only Yuan Zitong stared at Yuan Ziyu's back with resentment, cursing viciously in her heart, hoping that the man in black could help her solve this big problem.
As soon as he started fighting with these men in black, Yuan Ziyu realized something was wrong. Judging from the moves of these people, they were definitely not from the Dali Dynasty.
The dozen or so men in black were in the mood for killing, but unexpectedly a few people rushed out to stop them. They immediately became angry and started fighting with the newcomers. Before they could subdue those people, a very young girl came, and her moves and posture were extremely fierce.
"Kill without mercy!" One of them seemed to be the leader of the men in black. He made a fatal gesture and spoke in clumsy Dali language.
"Yes!" The men in black responded in unison, and then two of them were sent to fight with Yuan Ziyu!
Yuan Ziyu waved his dagger with a solemn expression, and every move was aimed at the fatal spot of the man in black.
For a moment, the two men in black were unable to do anything to Yuan Ziyu, and they couldn't help but become anxious. If it got out that two grown men couldn't even beat a little girl, wouldn't that be a huge shame?
Thinking of this, the man in black became more fierce in his moves, and the two sides were fighting hard for a while.
Suddenly, one of the men in black took a blow from Yuan Ziyu's sword, and with a wave of his hand, he sprinkled the powder in his hand onto Yuan Ziyu's face. The overwhelming powder almost covered Yuan Ziyu's entire face!
"Sister You, be careful!" Huo Wan's heart was pounding when she saw this. She opened her eyes wide and screamed, trying to break free.
"Qingzhi, protect Miss Wan!" Qingying instructed, then drew out the whip from her waist and rushed forward!
Qingzhi's voice was tinged with tears as she followed, "Sister Qingying, I'm going too!"
Wu Ying and Wu Hen desperately held back Huo Wan who was about to rush forward: "Eighth Miss, no, you can't go!"
"You two bastards, bastards!" Huo Wan couldn't break free and could only cry and curse.
Everyone thought that Yuan Ziyu would be injured by the man in black. After all, how could the powder scattered by such a murderer who kills anyone he sees be harmless?
Yuan Zitong leaned on Lian Qiao's body and looked at Yuan Ziyu with a look of relief. In her opinion, Yuan Ziyu was bound to be injured at the hands of the man in black.
When the man in black sprinkled the powder over, Yuan Ziyu immediately smelled the scent of the heartbreak grass and knew that the powder must be an extremely poisonous drug. She couldn't dodge it and thought she could not escape. However, she didn't know that even if she inhaled the poisonous powder, nothing would happen. She immediately made up her mind and chopped down the man in black who sprinkled the powder with a sword.
"Why are you here? Go back!" Yuan Ziyu wiped his face casually, and then saw Qingying and Qingzhi rushing up, and immediately said anxiously!
"Second Miss, we are here to help you!" Qingying and Qingzhi waved their whips and hit the other man in black.
"Go back quickly, I'm fine here!" Yuan Ziyu drew her sword to block the attack of the man in black, and pushed Qingying and Qingzhi backwards. She was able to deal with these men in black because she had good skills and drank spring water, but these men in black were not something Qingying and Qingzhi could resist.
"Second Miss!" Qingying and Qingzhi were about to rush forward, but someone held them down by the shoulders: "Protect Wan'er, I'll do it!"
"Prince!" Qingying and Qingzhi were overjoyed!
Even Huo Wan shouted happily, "Brother, go and save Sister You!"
Yuan Ziyu was delighted when he heard Huo Xifei's voice, but he accidentally revealed a flaw and was caught by the man in black.
"Puchi" sound was the sound of a sharp sword entering the body.
