Chapter 136 He's Gone Mad
Qin Feng drew his sword and flashed in front of Qin Yurong, slashing away the flying knife with a clang!
The throwing knife pierced the nearby pillar, embedding itself deeply into the wood.
Qin Yurong was shocked. If Qin Feng hadn't blocked it for her, the flying knife would have pierced her forehead.
She stomped her foot in anger, “Ah! That damned bitch! Go kill her! If you kill her for me, I’ll get my father promoted to a high-ranking official position in the capital.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was filled with energy. He stepped onto a stool, leaped up, and cleaved them down with a single stroke of his sword.
Yun Zhaoxue struggled to break free from Xiao Xuance's grasp, saying, "I'll leave him to you; I'll deal with Qin Yurong."
Xiao Xuance instructed, "Alright! Then be careful."
Yun Zhaoxue replied casually, "Don't worry."
He had already dealt with the most troublesome bandits, and these few servants were his defeated foe before.
As she walked toward Qin Yurong, she picked up a knife and held it in her hand. It wasn't very handy, but it was enough to deal with those few people.
When Qin Yurong saw him approaching, she quickly shrank behind the servants.
The six guards behind her rushed forward and surrounded Yun Zhaoxue. They were not ordinary servants, but guards from the Qin Prime Minister's residence.
Yun Zhaoxue wasn't afraid. At worst, she would poison them while fighting, letting them bully the few with their numbers.
The guards drew their swords in unison, their cold glints flashing, and all six swords slashed towards her.
Yun Zhaoxue parried with her sword in a backhand motion, the metal clashing and sparks flying, "Clang!"
With a forceful jerk, several guards were no match for her and were sent flying.
The group was filled with shock.
Yun Zhaoxue didn't give them a chance to think. She spun around and slashed, the blade drawing a silver arc, quickly knocking away the weapons of the two men. She then struck one of the guards in the back of the knee with the back of the blade, before leaping up onto the table through a gap in the wall.
Three throwing knives flew out, taking down three more.
Qin Yurong was furious and cursed inwardly, "Useless thing, I have to step up myself when it matters."
He raised the hidden arrow and aimed it at Yun Zhaoxue.
Because Yun Zhaoxue was moving around during the fight, she couldn't aim accurately.
Xiao Mingshu and the other women, who were not skilled in martial arts, huddled in a corner and hid while the bandits were unconscious, covering their mouths and not daring to scream.
Seeing Qin Yurong's intention to sabotage someone, she felt a pang of anxiety, "Third Sister-in-law..."
Worried that Yun Zhaoxue might be ambushed, Xiao Mingshu grabbed a stool and rushed over to help.
Qin Yurong aimed for a while, and finally seized the opportunity. She pressed the mechanism and fired a hidden arrow. "Whoosh!"
The first shot missed.
Damn it!
He had a hidden dart in his other hand, and just as he raised it, he noticed someone behind him and quickly turned around.
Xiao Mingshu tried to launch a sneak attack but was startled by her sudden turn, so she threw the chair she was holding at her with a loud bang!
"Ah!" Qin Yurong was knocked back and fell to the ground. She cursed angrily, "Damn it! Who are you? Why did you hit me?"
Xiao Mingshu kicked him again, saying, "If you want to kill my third sister-in-law, I'll kill you."
Qin Yurong, who had been kicked to the ground, lay there groaning in pain, "Ouch!"
She grabbed a long knife, gripped it tightly, and was about to stab Xiao Mingshu in the abdomen when she roared ferociously, "Die!"
The sword tip just touched Xiao Mingshu's abdomen.
At the critical moment, a long knife flew from behind and pierced her abdomen, "Thud!"
Xiao Xuance lowered his hand.
He killed Qin Feng with a single blow and then helped Yun Zhaoxue eliminate a guard.
Yun Zhaoxue reminded him that Xiao Mingshu was in danger, which is why he stepped in to save her in time. He never expected that Xiao Mingshu, who didn't know martial arts, would be so brave.
The guards dealt with the bandits' henchmen in the backyard and rushed to the front yard.
Zhu Feng and Zhui Ying also attacked from the back of the mountain and rushed into the front hall first. They wore human skin masks and pretended to be members of a caravan.
Meanwhile, another group of people attacked from the front. They were dressed in black night clothes and had their faces covered by masks, like secret guards, and were the Third Prince's men.
Neither of them knew the other.
He watched with apprehension as the other side drew their swords. However, upon seeing the escorts rush in, he quickly slipped away.
When Lao Liao and the others saw the bandits lying on the ground, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They had struggled to deal with the bandits in the backyard, and after eating only a few cornbread buns this morning, they were too exhausted to fight another battle.
The convicts followed the guards to the front hall, huddled in a corner, and only dared to follow the guards in after seeing all the bandits lying on the ground.
Someone recognized Qin Yurong, who was kneeling on the ground and was not quite dead yet.
They were curious about how she could do this, but they were even more afraid that Prime Minister Qin would come after them.
Duan Qingyun exclaimed in shock, "She...she is Prime Minister Qin's legitimate daughter. If you kill her, your Xiao family is doomed this time!"
On the other side, Yun Zhaoxue had already dealt with the last guard.
Dressed in flowing red, with blood dripping from the tip of a knife, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, her eyes radiating a terrifying killing intent that intimidated everyone.
Her red lips parted slightly, "Those who cannot kill me will be killed by me."
She walked behind Qin Yurong, gently raised her hand, and a flash of blood appeared.
"Smack!"
Blood splattered onto Duan Qingyun's face and dripped into his mouth. He felt nauseous and quickly spat it out, yelling, "Pah!"
At this moment, Xiao Xuance walked up to the leader's corpse with his sword and brought it down.
A head rolled to the ground at everyone's feet.
The crowd screamed in panic, "Ahhh!!!"
They rushed in because they thought the person was already dead.
Some people fainted from fright as soon as their eyes rolled back.
The women closed their eyes, too afraid to look, and screamed, "Ah!"
Xiao Xuance's mind was filled with the filthy eyes of these people looking at Yun Zhaoxue with lust and wishing they could strip her naked. A violent killing intent gnawed at his heart and lungs, and only killing could quell it.
Then, without mercy, he pierced the second-in-command's heart, drew his sword, and slashed the necks of the third and fourth-in-commands.
Xiao Xuance swiftly and decisively dispatched them one by one, finishing off dozens in less than half an incense stick's time, without even blinking.
The convicts, witnessing his slaughter, were terrified, their eyes wide with horror. They let out strange cries of "Heh heh!!" before their eyes rolled back and they fainted from fright.
Some rushed out, while others vomited on the spot, "vomit vomit vomit..."
After killing the last one, Xiao Xuance looked up at the crowd.
The crowd screamed and ran around in panic.
"He's gone mad! He's gone mad! It's terrifying! Run! No, don't kill me! Ahhh!!!"
Yun Zhaoxue stepped forward and took the knife from Xiang's hand.
He gripped it tightly.
"They're all dead. Give me the knife." Yun Zhaoxue pried his hands open, forcibly snatched the knife, and threw it to the ground with a clang.
A group of people were so frightened that they crouched down, covering their heads, crying out, "Ah! Don't kill me!"
"Shut up, all of you! What are you yelling about? If they don't die, you'll be the ones who die." Yun Zhaoxue shouted angrily at the crowd, then pulled the man to the backyard. "Come with me."
Walking into the backyard, I took his hand and checked his pulse. "What happened to you just now? Did you get mushroom poisoning?"
Xiao Xuance lowered his head and shook his head slightly. The fierce aura around him faded, leaving only a pale and weak expression. His voice was hoarse and broken: "I'm useless... I'm a piece of trash."
She was forced to fawn over those scumbags and almost got defiled by that damned man.
He deserves to die!
He slammed his fist into a nearby pillar. "Bang!"
