Chapter 2598: Rescue
“Grandfather, the coachman was killed!” Xie Yutang’s expression darkened. He sprang to his feet and leapt from the carriage to join the fight.
“Come back! Don’t run around! ” The elderly man shouted with dread on his face. Seeing that his grandson had already left the carriage, he immediately pulled Xie Shisi from the carriage.
Feng Jiu, who was still inside the carriage, followed them out and swept her gaze around. She observed the twenty or so men in black who had attacked the Xie family, as well as the ten or so dark guards who had followed them secretly to protect them.
Their strengths may be comparable, but their opponents were more numerous, so the situation was dire.
Apart from the dark guards, the elderly man and the middle-aged man were the only ones with strengths in the two carriages. The elderly man was now responsible for protecting his two grandchildren, while the middle-aged man was responsible for protecting his wife, who was weak and lacked fighting skills.
The beautiful woman hid beside the middle-aged man, obviously terrified and dumbstruck. Feng Jiu could not help but wonder how the Xie family, which seemed to be a large influential clan, could marry a woman with no cultivation. That is odd.
“Hiss, aah!”
Xie Yutang was unable to dodge. The long sword in the hand of a man in black pierced his arm with its sword intent. His blood spurted instantly, causing him to scream and wobble backwards, but the man in black’s blade shot straight up, aimed for his life, and appeared prepared to end him with a single thrust.
“Yutang!”
“Yutang, be careful!”
The elderly man was unable to come forward because he was protecting his granddaughter, while the middle-aged man was unable to leave because he was protecting the beautiful woman. Seeing that Xie Yutang was about to be killed, the two men’s eyes were red with rage, their killing intent was palpable, and their swords struck more viciously than before. Both men wished they could rush over to help him.
However, Feng Jiu, who was standing beside the carriage, moved at this precise moment. She charged forward, grabbing Xie Yutang’s collar and pulled him behind her.
The sword was also stabbed at them at the same time. The fierce sword intent roared past, startling Xie Yutang to the point where his face turned pale and his movement stiffened.
The Xie family breathed a sigh of relief as they saw him avoid the fatal blow and tried to huddle together to protect the weak behind them.
Feng Jiu pulled Xie Yutang to avoid the attack. However, because he was terrified and his reaction time slowed, the two were separated by a short distance when the blade wielded by a man in black thrust between them.
Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed when she saw two men in black attacking from behind.
She could easily dodge the blows and even kill the two men in black if she used her true strength. It would, however, reveal her strength and might make it difficult to approach the Xie family.
Her emotions were shaken by the thought. She hastened to take Xie Yutang in her arms and roll down towards the elderly man when she spotted the two men in black coming to attack.
Just as the two rolled away, Feng Jiu noticed the reflection of a cold blade. She was about to avoid it instinctively, but when it got close, she changed her mind and raised a hand to block it.
The sword intent slashed her arm, leaving behind a bloodstain. Xie Yutang was taken aback when he saw the shed blood. He looked at Feng Jiu, stunned. He couldn’t believe this little mute stranger was injured in order to save him…
