Chapter 272 The Mad Couple 36
Not long after, a series of hurried footsteps and low shouts of killing suddenly came from outside the mansion.
Ji Xiaosong's divine sense had already detected the abnormality. She frowned slightly and thought to herself, "Sure enough, someone broke in during the chaos."
Just then, several dark figures flashed across the high wall of the backyard. Several soldiers in armor scaled the wall and entered, wielding swords and carrying knives, their eyes fierce.
They were clearly not ordinary soldiers; they moved swiftly and with a clear objective, heading straight for the core area of the mansion.
Upon seeing this, the captain of the guard immediately shouted, "A thief has broken in! Everyone on alert!"
The guards inside the mansion quickly assembled and blocked the intruders.
The two sides clashed instantly, their swords flashing in the night, shouts of battle and the clash of weapons intertwined.
Ji Xiaosong stood at the entrance of the main hall, her gaze cold and stern.
She did not take action, but secretly manipulated the barrier she had set up to ensure that the guards inside the mansion would not suffer fatal injuries.
Her divine sense, like invisible threads, quietly wrapped around each guard, providing them with an invisible layer of protection.
However, the intruders were clearly well-trained and launched a fierce attack.
Although Wu Daniu's guards on the estate fought hard, they were outnumbered and gradually began to falter.
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the direction of the backyard.
Startled by the commotion outside, Wang Cuihua rushed out of the room despite Lao Li's attempts to stop her.
She ran while crying out, "Master! Master! Where are you? Our family is finished!"
Upon seeing this, Ji Xiaosong felt a pang of anxiety.
She knew that if Wang Cuihua ran around recklessly, she might get into danger.
Wu Daniu cared about her; he couldn't let Wu Daniu, who was away from home, come back without a companion.
She quickly said to Ji Dan beside her, "Quickly stop Aunt Wang and don't let her run around!"
Ji Dan nodded and hurriedly chased after him.
However, Wang Cuihua had already run to the front yard when she bumped into several soldiers who had broken in.
Upon seeing someone appear, the soldiers immediately swung their swords and attacked.
Wang Cuihua was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, forgetting even to cry out.
At the critical moment, Ji Dan flashed and quickly stood in front of Wang Cuihua.
Holding a short knife in her hand, her eyes sharp, she fearlessly met the soldiers who had broken in.
Amidst the flashing blades, Ji Dan moved with agility, forcing back the soldiers charging at the forefront in just a few moves.
At the same time, Xiaohe rushed out from the side.
She held a long stick in her hand, wielding it with great force, and stood protectively beside Wang Cuihua, blocking the attack of another soldier.
"Aunt Wang, step back!" Xiao He shouted anxiously as she defended herself.
Wang Cuihua was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Upon seeing this, Ji Dan quickly turned around and shouted to the guards not far away, "Someone! Quickly take Consort Wang to a safe place!"
Several guards rushed over upon hearing the commotion, quickly helped Wang Cuihua up, and escorted her to the backyard.
Wang Cuihua's face was pale, her lips trembled, and she murmured, "Master...where is Master? Our family is finished..."
Ji Dan and Xiao He continued to deal with the soldiers who had broken in.
Her swordsmanship was fierce and deadly, while Xiao He's long staff was also wielded with impenetrable skill. The two worked together seamlessly, forcing the soldiers into a retreat.
However, the number of soldiers who broke in was large, and several more quickly flanked them from the side.
Looking at the scene before her, Ji Xiaosong moved her fingers and knocked everyone except the robot unconscious.
"Ji Dan, take them away."
Ji Dan accepted the order and left with a team of robot guards, taking Wang Cuihua and the others with him.
The thugs disguised as government soldiers who were attacking were stunned when they saw this scene.
Their previously fierce expressions froze instantly, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
The mansion, which had been fiercely fighting just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent, leaving only the intruders standing there, while some of the guards and women inside the mansion had inexplicably fainted on the ground.
"What...what's going on?" One of the thugs, the leader of the group, stared wide-eyed, his voice tinged with panic.
"Could it be sorcery?" another person muttered under his breath, his knife unconsciously drooping.
Just as they were stunned, a clear, cold voice came from the entrance of the main hall: "You shouldn't have come here."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ji Xiaosong walking out slowly, holding a long sword with a cold, sharp glint in her hand.
Her expression was calm as still water, but her gaze was as cold as ice, as if the people in front of her were nothing more than ants.
"Young lady, what kind of sorcery is this?"
The leader of the thugs tried to appear calm, gripping his knife tightly, and attempting to mask his inner fear with a fierce tone.
Ji Xiaosong did not answer, but simply raised the sword in her hand, the tip pointing at the other party, her tone indifferent:
"Trespassers shall die."
Before she finished speaking, her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next instant, the sword flashed like lightning, slicing through the night sky.
Before the rioters could react, they felt a chill on their necks and immediately collapsed to the ground.
Ji Xiaosong's movements were so fast they were dazzling; it seemed like only a moment had passed before all the soldiers who had broken in had fallen.
Her swordsmanship was sharp and elegant, every move precise and without any superfluous movements.
The remaining thugs were terrified and retreated in panic.
Some even dropped their weapons and tried to run away.
However, Ji Xiaosong did not give them a chance. Her figure moved like a ghost through the crowd, and no one could stop her sword light.
"Run! This woman is a monster!" one of the thugs shouted in terror, turning to climb over the wall to escape.
Ji Xiaosong snorted coldly, swung his long sword, and a sword aura swept out, knocking the man off the wall.
She stood still, her gaze sweeping over the remaining thugs, her tone icy: "None of you will escape."
The thugs completely broke down and knelt down, begging for mercy: "Heroine, spare our lives! We were just following orders, please have mercy!"
Ji Xiaosong ignored their pleas for mercy and simply said, "Tell me who's behind this, and I can give you a quick death."
The leader of the thugs gritted his teeth, seemingly still hesitant.
However, when he saw Ji Xiaosong's icy gaze, he immediately shivered and quickly said:
"It's...it's Black Wind Stronghold outside the city! They gave us silver and told us to impersonate government soldiers, create chaos, and take the opportunity to rob people!"
Ji Xiaosong frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Black Wind Stronghold? It seems this chaos is not simple."
She sheathed her sword and said coldly, "Your mission is complete. Now, it's time to pay the price."
Before she finished speaking, her figure flashed again, her sword flashing like a rainbow, instantly eliminating all the remaining thugs.
The mansion returned to silence, leaving only the corpses lying scattered on the ground and the unconscious guards.
Ji Xiaosong stood in the courtyard, gently exhaled, and slowly lowered the long sword in her hand.
Ji Dan stepped forward and handed her a disinfectant wipe.
"Miss Ji, should these people be disposed of in a harmless manner?"
"Keep them. Just say you took care of them later. They might not be from Black Wind Stronghold. If I'm not mistaken, they broke in this time because they were after Wu Daniu."
