791 Layers of Deployments
Jiang Zhengjun’s expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, “Madam Zhang, last night, the Qiu family was secretly attacked, and we did not even see the demon’s face. I know that tonight must be extremely dangerous, but Madam, please trust us wholeheartedly. I, Jiang Zhengjun, swear that I will definitely protect your two daughters with my life.”
He was a soldier. It was his duty to protect the people. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of not being trusted.
Last night, they were ready to attack, but in the end, they ended up like that. The anger in their hearts was really indescribable.
Madam Zhang’s eyes were misty with tears. She nodded repeatedly and said, “I believe you. Please definitely protect my two daughters.”!!
News of the Qiu family had already spread today.
Even if Minister Zhang and Madam Zhang had other thoughts, they didn’t dare to do it.
It was good to be protected by so many people, the probability of survival was higher. After all, it did not end well for Old Master Qiu. Who knew how that demon came out? Since they were going to die either way, it was better to choose the option with a higher probability.
“Father, mother, I don’t want to die…” Zhang Xueyu’s face was filled with fear. Tears rolled out of her eyes. She grabbed Madam Zhang’s sleeve tightly. The joints on the back of her hand were white. It was obvious how much strength she had used.
Madam Zhang’s heart ached. She hugged her two daughters and cried.
How could her daughters encounter such a dangerous thing? Her heart ached so much.
Zhang Xuerou was also trembling as she approached her mother’s arms. She subconsciously grabbed her mother’s clothes tightly.
Minister Zhang sighed softly.
There was nothing they could do because they were facing a demon.
Jiang Zhengjun began to deploy his men.
Su Xiaolu said to Jiang Zhengjun, “General, can I stay with the two ladies?”
As long as Zhang Xuerou and Zhang Xueyu did not leave their sight, they would definitely be better protected.
Jiang Zhengjun knew that Su Xiaolu was skilled in martial arts and nodded. “Thank you. With so many men around, it’s indeed inconvenient. It’s much better with your help.”
Su Xiaolu accompanied Minister Zhang and Madam Zhang to guard Zhang Xuerou and Zhang Xueyu.
Their family was close to each other, so Su Xiaolu sat down to rest.
Fa Yin and Fa Le cooperated with Jiang Zhengjun’s arrangements.
As the sky outside darkened and night fell, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
The ground was already covered in a layer of dust. It was impossible to become invisible. As long as he walked over, he would definitely leave footprints.
The residence was brightly lit. Minister Zhang’s family stayed close to each other in the house. Su Xiaolu was sitting in front of them. Outside, there were soldiers, archers, and so on. This small boudoir had already been surrounded by an impenetrable wall.
Su Xiaolu was a little curious. Would that demon come again today? If he did, how would he come?
The house was heavily guarded. Even the slightest movement could alarm them.
Su Xiaolu held the silver needles in her hand. As midnight passed, everyone’s hearts tightened. Su Xiaolu closed her eyes and released her five senses.
Because her five senses were released, Minister Zhang’s family’s sobs seemed especially loud. She even smelled an indescribable smell.
Thinking of Zhang Xueyu’s pale face, she must be extremely afraid. Even if she was embarrassed, she endured it and did not say anything. As her biological father, mother, and sister, even if they smelled it, they would not say anything.
Su Xiaolu ignored the smell, the smell of the house, the fragrance, and so on.
Her ears were also listening for movement.
The spies panted nervously and yawned tiredly. They had all been waiting attentively for a few hours. The demons had not arrived for a long time, so no one could suppress the fatigue in their bodies.
There was a soft sound on the roof tiles. If one did not pay attention, they would not be able to hear it.
Here we go.
Su Xiaolu frowned slightly. She felt the demon stop above the heads of Zhang Xuerou’s family. Su Xiaolu did not hesitate. A huge water ball gathered in her palm and instantly enveloped Minister Zhang’s family.
With a loud bang, a heavy object hit the water ball with a muffled sound.
Minister Zhang’s family screamed in shock. Minister Zhang’s voice was sharp. “He’s here—”
Outside the house, all the people lying in ambush were alarmed.
Footsteps came from the roof and from the outside of the house.
Su Xiaolu sent the water ball covering Minister Zhang’s family outside. She took out her sword and pointed it at the terrifying demon.
The demon failed to break the water ball. He rolled on the ground and locked his fierce gaze on Su Xiaolu. He said sinisterly, “You again? If you ruin my plans, I’ll take your life.”
He chuckled sinisterly and instantly turned invisible and attacked Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu did not hesitate. She closed her eyes and sensed that the demon had nowhere to hide. Su Xiaolu flipped her sword nimbly and instantly stabbed him several times. Every time, she heard a ding. She did not smell blood, which meant that she did not hurt the demon.
The impenetrable body was also real.
Su Xiaolu also felt that it was troublesome. She turned around. In the eyes of others, she was fighting the air, but no one would really think that she was fighting the air.
Jiang Zhengjun gave a serious order. The oil was ready. Jiang Zhengjun looked in Su Xiaolu’s direction and shouted, “Miss, move aside.”
Su Xiaolu dodged and all the oil spilled on the demon.
Jiang Zhengjun threw out the fireball. Soon, a fiery figure appeared under everyone’s gaze.
Su Xiaolu’s countless sword stabs could not find a weakness.
This did not make sense. How could he not have any weaknesses?
Fa Yin and Fa Le also joined in. The sticks in their hands hit the demons, making muffled sounds.
He didn’t feel any pain from being burned by the fire. It made their hearts sink.
As the clothes were burned, part of the demon’s body disappeared into nothingness again.
“Hahahaha, what can you do to me? So what if you invited an expert? You still can’t catch me.”
The demon laughed loudly and rampantly.
“I’m going to kill you.”
“You’re a superpower user. Your heart must be delicious.”
His cold gaze landed on Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu looked straight at him.
The silver needle in her hand was ready. She sneered and said arrogantly, “Do you know who I am? How dare you boast shamelessly and eat me?”
“Who are you?”
The demon was used to seeing people who were afraid of him, but he had never seen someone as arrogant and fearless as Su Xiaolu. He was a little curious.
“Hmph, I’m the divine doctor of Minggu’s true disciple, the final disciple of the number one swordsman in the world. How dare a thing like you, who’s neither human, ghost, nor demon, try to eat me? Do you believe that I’ll use the knife in my hand to disintegrate you into pieces?”
Su Xiaolu pointed her sword. She was arrogant, confident, and complacent.
The demon seemed to have heard a joke and laughed. “Hahahahaha—uh—”
As he laughed wildly, the silver needles in Su Xiaolu’s hand were shot out and pierced into his mouth. In an instant, he could not smile anymore. He instantly shut up and covered his neck.
“So you do have a weakness.” Su Xiaolu smiled sarcastically.
