Chapter 160 (1/2)

”Grasping the weakness of the girl, we had to sacrifice a few of our brothers to tie her down while the rest go on to take the la.s.s away. However, at this time, the Ling residence’s guards noticed our presence, and started to give chase. Only after the rest of our brothers pitted their lives to halt them did the three of us manage to escape the battle!” The youth had already lowered his head, guilt written all over his face.

”This doesn’t make sense!” As the saying went, ‘an old ginger is spicier compared to the young ginger’, the elders immediately found a flaw in the entire story, ”If the lady was as strong as what you described, then how could you people even slip past her, after all the Ling residence’s guards spotted you guys? Where did she go after the guards came out?”

Xiao’wu furrowed his brows and thought for a long while, before he replied with some uncertainty, ”From the looks of it, after the guards spotted us, the female expert never appeared again. The three of us were also exceedingly careful, following the set route and taking a large detour before slipping back here. We did not find out that we were being followed.” Xiao’wu was no fool, and immediately guessed what the elders were worried about.

Hearing this, the group of people furrowed their brows once again, exchanging glances. They simultaneously came to the same conclusion, ”Don’t tell me… the female was not part of the Xiao family nor the Ling family?” This was the only plausible reason! If it was not for the fact that she belonged to neither party, and only met them by chance, she would have definitely attempted to save Xiao YanXue!

At this point, the four of them heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking about how they had lost 17 good fighters in a single mission, the four of them could not help but feel heavy and hurt at the loss.

Gu XiYan looked at the gunny sack held by Xiao’wu, and her gaze sharpened, ”Let her out. I want to see how the little princess of the Xiao family looks like.”

With a grunt of acknowledgement, Xiao’wu opened the gunny sack, exposing the graceful and svelte body of a woman. Clothed in back, along with a face of peerless beauty, that was precisely Xiao YanXue! She resembled a bewitching begonia at this moment, her face filled with a charming flush. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her long lashes enchanted everyone present!

Examining this city-toppling beauty who men would go crazy for, the violence and hatred in Gu XiYan’s eyes grew all the more intense!

”Go! Bring her over to Mama Yang, and let her get a good lesson! Just for this little s.l.u.t, I actually lost seventeen of my brother-in-arms. If I don’t let the Xiao Family be completely humiliated, how can I answer to them? How can I answer to the various members of the ShangGuan Family, who have been plotted to death by the Xiao family!” A ferocious look appeared on Gu XiYan’s face. Riled up by her emotions, her chest heaved up and down violently, and a hint of blood appeared on the corners of her mouth, where she had forcefully bit down.

”Yes! Elder sister!” A cruel smile appeared on the face of the bloke named Xiao’wu, a sort of crazed l.u.s.t surfacing at his eyes. At this point, the death of his seventeen brothers — who had sacrificed their lives to save him — had long been thrown to the back of his mind!

No doubt, this was the nature of men!

Seeing his face, Gu XiYan seemed to have her reservations. In the end, she did not say anything, and only weakly dismissed him with a wave.

Xiao’wu bent his waist, grabbing onto Xiao YanXue’s dainty waist and prepared to carry her down; looks of envy appeared on the faces of the other two men standing guard.

At this point, the window of the tower suddenly exploded into smithereens, and a black shadow — that seemed to have come from the ninth level of h.e.l.l — appeared, carrying with him a wave of killing intent as he walked over leisurely. Even when stepping into an expert’s territory, the a.s.sailant’s att.i.tude was just as though he was taking a stroll in his own backyard, his entire presence exuding an elegant and relaxed aura of cruelty.

The movements of the black robed shadow seemed leisurely, but was immeasurably quick. Before anyone could react, he had already reached the side of the unconscious Xiao YanXue.

Everyone gaped at the scene! The three elders had the fastest reaction, and shouted threateningly as they threw themselves forward. Six palms from the trio were pushed out, aiming for the black shadow. All three of them had the same thought: this man cannot leave alive, or the ten-odd years of conserving the ShangGuan Family’s strength will go down the drain! In that moment, they unleashed their full strength!

The black robed figure merely spun on the spot, returning all their attacks with his own palms!

”Peng peng peng peng peng peng!” Six loud sounds were heard, as though six claps of thunder sounded in succession!
