Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 352 The visitor

He wanted to move, but he didn't dare to move easily.

Now, at least he has Guard Liu blocking his way, and since he is holding Jiang Xian hostage, Guard Liu will not dare to make any rash moves and will not easily dodge away.

"Don't move, or you'll lose your life."

Her voice was soft, yet it revealed not a trace of emotion.

As the words fell into his ears, the key figure holding the dagger was suddenly startled and stared at the person beside him in disbelief.

"You! You are... a woman?" The leader took a step back, his eyes wide, and asked in astonishment.

The next moment, before he could get a reply from Jiang Xian, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Before this, he had felt his body becoming increasingly stiff and increasingly out of control.

Aside from that, it didn't hurt or itch, so he thought about dealing with the immediate matter first. He even thought it was because he was too nervous.

It wasn't until he heard what Jiang Xian had just said that he began to understand.

The person lying on the ground was deathly pale, covered in sweat, and clutching his abdomen tightly with both arms, convulsing in agony.

The one with only one arm seemed to have heard the commotion behind him and, upon seeing the key figure lying on the ground, immediately rushed over.

Guard Liu frowned, a hint of regret in his eyes, but his short sword was relentless, and with a swift stroke, he didn't let the man get past him.

Jiang Xian moved his feet and slowly squatted down next to the backbone, looking at the person in front of him.

"What...what did you do? What did you do to me!" He was full of doubt, and although he was weak, he shouted loudly with almost all his strength, his eyes filled with anger and ferocity.

Finally, he could no longer hide it, and he no longer needed to be humble and insincere in his politeness to the others.

"I warned you. Now, if you don't want to die right now, just bear with it and don't move."

It was another light, indifferent remark, as if it were none of his business, but to the core leader, it was extremely painful.

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering." He mumbled something at first, then asked Jiang Xian more formally, "So, what do you want to do?"

He seemed to have calmed down a bit, grumbling to himself, but his body betrayed him by no longer moving.

His face showed undisguised pain, and the fine lines of sweat streaming down his face, along with the large beads of sweat dripping down, were the best proof of that.

This time, he didn't ask Jiang Xian what he had done to him, but only what Jiang Xian wanted him to do.

Li, the bodyguard, shook off the men and went straight for the steward's head.

The steward, whose strength was waning, could not withstand the full force of Li's attack and could no longer hold on.

The dagger was right between his neck and his arms, but Li changed his mind and immediately turned around.

For him, facing such a troublesome person who constantly posed a danger to them, he naturally felt somewhat annoyed and wanted to eliminate him quickly. However, he knew in his heart that he could not do so and could not act on his own initiative.

In a short while, Guard Li pulled out the arrows stuck in the ground one by one, fixing the men in one place and restricting their movement.

Liu, the guard, no longer needed to worry about dealing with the arrows fired from the mechanism, and the two returned to Jiang Xian's side one after the other.

Although Guard Liu could not turn around when Jiang Xian spoke, he heard him clearly.

The two guards' gazes darted back and forth between Jiang Xian and their leader, hesitant and ultimately refraining from asking any further questions.

"Are you okay?"

"What to do with these people?"

Guard Li and Guard Liu spoke almost simultaneously.

"It's alright. Leave those two behind," Jiang Xian said calmly.

Guard Li hadn't heard Jiang Xian speak in front of these villains before, so he was somewhat incredulous when he suddenly heard Jiang Xian's voice. "Yes!"

Just as Guard Liu was about to turn around, Guard Li patted him on the shoulder and said, "You stay here, I'll go."

After saying that, Guard Li returned to the group and quickly made arrangements for them.

The pillar of the organization lying on the ground at this moment looked utterly desperate.

Jiang Xian took out a medicine bottle from his body, waved it in front of his leader, and then clenched it tightly in his hand.

“Tell me, you know,” Jiang Xian said slowly.

He coughed a few times, but still remained defiant, saying to Jiang Xian, "I know a lot more than I can handle; it would probably take me several days to explain."

“A few days, I can wait, can you?” After saying that, Jiang Xian remained unhurried, glanced at the increasingly dejected leader, and said, “You know what I’m talking about.”

"Stop being sly and speak quickly!" Guard Li stepped forward with his short knife, stabbed it behind the leader's ear, and squatted down beside him with Jiang Xian.

The leader glanced at the short knife stuck in the ground out of the corner of his eye, swallowed hard, and then looked at Jiang Xian.

He stared intently at Jiang Xian, his eyes unwavering, and said, "I can say it, but I'll only say half of it."

“You have no right to bargain,” Guard Li said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the leader did not spare any energy to pay attention to Guard Li; his gaze remained fixed on Jiang Xian, staring intently at him.

"Yes, if what you say is valuable."

……

"Wait! There's movement!" Guard Liu turned his head sharply, interrupting his leader's words.

As he spoke, Guard Li also turned his head and looked towards the doorway.

The two guards immediately sensed something was wrong, exchanged a glance, and looked at Jiang Xian.

"The person you've been waiting for has arrived, right?"

As soon as Jiang Xian spoke, the three of them looked at her simultaneously, their faces showing varying degrees of confusion.

Among them, the backbone lying on the ground was even more startled, seemingly not expecting Jiang Xian to ask him this question.

Upon hearing this, he immediately turned pale with fright and blurted out, "How...how did you know!" His voice wasn't loud, but his tone was anxious and he sounded somewhat unsure of himself.

The question asked by the leader was exactly what the two guards wanted to ask as well.

Jiang Xianming had not mentioned it to them, so how could they know that someone was coming at this time?

“You won’t leave us with only one way out, and you don’t trust the manager, which is why you brought us to him,” Jiang Xian said to him.

She slowly rose and picked up the large bow: "The steward is still alive, yet you are not nervous, which means that the person who came is someone you trust, not one of your boss's men."

The leader burst into laughter a few times and replied, "But what I said is true, believe it or not."

“What you said is true, of course, otherwise how could we buy time?” She adjusted the bow and arrow in her hand, and added, “You didn’t expect that we would leave here alive.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader immediately suppressed his smile and frowned deeply.

Jiang Xian ignored the leader and said to Guard Liu, "Go and take a look."

Guard Liu nodded and went to the door to scout the way.

Soon, Guard Liu replied, "More than ten people will be here soon."
