"So it was you?"
Feng Jiu recognized Zuo Shandiao, and Zuo Shandiao naturally recognized Feng Jiu as well.
Tao Hong's expression changed slightly. "Gou Sheng, do you know these two people?"
Zuo Shandiao glanced at Feng Jiu and sneered, "When I kidnapped the Shen family's girl before, I encountered this person's obstruction. I didn't expect them to actually come to our door. But you should be careful, this kid is a martial arts grandmaster!"
"What? A martial arts grandmaster?"
Tao Hongxin's heart pounded twice.
But then he sneered disdainfully, "So what if he's a martial arts master? In my eyes, he's nothing but an ant!"
She gave Lin Yu a cold look and said, "Boy, I know you're here for the Shen family girl, but I advise you, that girl is someone Second Master Huang wants. If you don't want to die, you'd better leave obediently, otherwise, Second Master Huang won't let you off the hook!"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, "That hairy beast deliberately kidnapped Miss Shen to lure me here, didn't he? Now that I'm here, you'd better hand Miss Shen over to me right now!"
"What?"
Tao Hong's expression changed.
That's exactly what Huang's mother told her before. She wanted to use Shen Manshu to lure out the murderer who killed Huang Erye's godson.
Unexpectedly, the murderer was this kid?
"Young Marshal, don't waste your breath on this woman. Let me break her arms and see if she confesses. If she still doesn't confess, I'll break both her legs too!"
After Feng Jiu finished speaking, she walked towards Tao Hong, clenching her fists.
"Gousheng! Gousheng!!"
Tao Hong was so frightened that she immediately shouted.
"You little brat, you dare touch my wife? You're asking for it!!"
Zuo Shandiao snorted coldly and immediately led his men to charge forward.
"Attack him together and kill him!"
Although he had sensed that the young man possessed the ability to project his true energy, he still harbored some doubts.
How could someone so young be a martial arts master?
"Kid, I don't believe you're a martial arts grandmaster. I'll beat you to death today!!"
Zuo Shandiao took the lead and charged over in the blink of an eye.
Duang!
Before they could even get close, Feng Jiu stretched out her hand and froze Zuo Shandiao in mid-air.
Then he suddenly swung his hand, smashing Zuo Shandiao to the ground from a distance.
Zuo Shandiao was stunned by the fall. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning ashen. "You, you really are a martial arts master..."
He simply couldn't understand what kind of drug this young man had taken to achieve the cultivation level of a grandmaster at such a young age!
"Gou Sheng!"
Tao Hong rushed over and hugged her husband tightly, asking, "Gousheng, are you alright, Gousheng?"
"Wife, we can't beat this kid. You, you run! I'll hold him off for you!" Zuo Shandiao said through gritted teeth.
Tao Hong shook her head. "No, we'll go together. I won't abandon you!"
As Tao Hong spoke, she suddenly pulled a pipe from her bosom.
Feng Jiu's expression changed. Wasn't this the very same pipe that Zuo Shandiao had used before? He hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late. Tao Hong had already blew hard into the pipe.
Waaah!
A large cloud of black smoke suddenly billowed out of the pipe, spreading rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the entire courtyard became dark and nothing could be seen clearly!
"Hmph! You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, and without any haste, he also took out a piece of wood from his pocket, which was the Dragon Subduing Wood.
As one of the four sacred woods, Dragon-Subduing Wood has the effects of calming the mind and spirit, and exorcising evil spirits. It is a natural counter to this kind of dark magic weapon.
brush!
As he cast his spell, rays of golden light shot out from the Dragon-Subduing Wood, and the black energy, upon encountering this golden light, vanished as quickly as mice encountering a cat.
As their vision gradually cleared, they looked closely and saw Tao Hong and Zuo Shandiao supporting each other as they tried to run out of the courtyard.
Feng Jiu snorted coldly, grabbed the couple from a distance with her large hand, and they landed heavily on the ground.
The couple cried out in pain, and when they looked up, they saw Lin Yu's cold and stern face.
Tao Hong immediately shuddered, "Immortal, spare us! Immortal, spare us! We are just insignificant people, please spare us!"
These two people's methods were unpredictable and terrifying; she was truly afraid and regarded Lin Yu as a real shaman.
Lin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. "Stop talking nonsense. I'll ask you one last time: where is Shen Manshu? Hand her over right now, or I'll make you two a pair of doomed lovers!"
"No! No! I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Tao Hong trembled with fear and dared not hide anything any longer. She quickly said, "Immortal, please calm down. I was just following Madam Huang's instructions! When we brought her back, Madam Huang appeared in the shrine and told us to take her to the barren mountain five miles east of the village. There is a big willow tree there, and Madam Huang told us to put her under the willow tree!"
Five li east of the village?
Big willow tree?
Lin Yu frowned, and said in a sinister tone, "You're not lying to me? You should know that if you dare to lie to me..."
Tao Hong waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't lie to you, I absolutely didn't lie to you! Immortal, why don't you go there and see for yourself? With your magical power, are you afraid of those mountain spirits and wild beasts?"
Tao Hong's words had a somewhat encouraging tone.
Lin Yu scoffed, "Fine, I'll trust you this once. I'll go check it out right now. If I don't find them, neither of you will see the sun rise tomorrow!"
"Feng Jiu, let's go!"
Lin Yu immediately led Feng Jiu out of the courtyard and headed towards the location Tao Hong had indicated.
Tao Hong and her husband breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Yu and his companion leave.
