When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

On the other side of the barren mountain, several dark shadows were lurking silently in the dense bushes.

A skinny man who looked like a monkey whispered to a burly leader in black, "Brother, that woman is here as expected, and she brought a maid with her. She doesn't seem to be on guard at all."

The black-clad leader narrowed his eyes and asked, "Really? Have you explored the surroundings? Nothing unusual?"

"We've investigated everything clearly, big brother. Usually, not many people come to this desolate mountain area, and today there's not even a ghost. If we take action, no one will notice." The skinny man looked confident.

"I mean, have you checked everything carefully? We have to be on guard against some expert sent by the Xie family to secretly protect us."

The leader in black was very alert and obviously did not want to make any mistakes at such a critical moment.

He looked around, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, trying to penetrate every leaf and every shadow, looking for possible hidden threats.

"Don't worry, big brother. I did as you instructed and searched everywhere. I didn't spare a single bird."

The skinny man chuckled, revealing a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth.

"Besides, even if the Xie family wanted to send someone to protect us, they can't do it so secretly. We've chosen a perfect location, unless they grow wings and fly over here."

"Boss, aren't they just two little girls? There are so many of us, and we can't deal with them? We might as well just take action directly to avoid any more trouble."

Another slightly impatient fat man interrupted, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, looking impatient.

"Boss, I just saw that those two girls are pretty, especially the young lady from the main family, who has delicate skin and tender flesh. Let's move quickly, and after we're done, we can still..."

Before the skinny man could finish his words, the leader in black slapped him on the back of the head, interrupting his reverie.

"Shut up! You perverted idiot. Once you're done with this and get the bounty, there'll be plenty of places for you to have fun. But if you dare mess things up, I'll be the first one to see you through!"

The skinny man covered his head with his hands, looking aggrieved but not daring to refute. He could only retreat aside in disappointment.

The black-clad leader looked around again, confirmed everything was correct, and gave orders in a deep voice.

"Second brother, take Sixth Brother and flank from the left. Third and Fourth Brothers, sneak up from the right. Remember to keep your distance and don't alert the enemy."

"Monkey, you and I will coordinate in the middle. Once we take action, we must be swift and silent. Do you understand?"

"Yes, big brother!" Everyone responded and quickly dispersed.

Jiang Song was throwing the last handful of paper money into the fire. Sparks danced in the wind, just like thoughts drifting from one end to the other, gradually blending into the vast sky.

At this moment, a slight sound of branches rubbing against each other came from the bushes not far away, but it was almost completely covered up on the top of the mountain where the wind was howling.

However, Jiang Song had already entered the Qi Refining stage and had extraordinary hearing, so the subtle sound still aroused her vigilance.

She suddenly turned around and scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze. Seeing this, Xiuyun immediately became nervous and held Jiang Song's hand tightly.

"Young Madam, what's wrong?" Xiuyun asked in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

"There's movement, be careful." Jiang Song responded in a low voice, while secretly cheering and preparing to deal with possible emergencies.

Just as they were looking around vigilantly, two masked gangsters suddenly jumped out from the bushes on the left, holding sharp knives, and rushed towards Jiang Song.

At the same time, rustling sounds were heard from the right, and it was obvious that there were accomplices approaching.

Jiang Song reacted quickly, pushing Xiuyun to the side, and then dodged the sudden attack from the gangster on the left.

At the same time, he raised his right hand, and gathered spiritual power in his palm, which turned into a sharp air blade and slashed towards the gangster in front.

The air blade cut through the air, with a sharp whistling sound, and went straight to the opponent's forehead.

In an instant, the man's head exploded like a watermelon, blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, the scene was horrifying.

There was also a strong fishy smell that froze the air around it.

This scene happened so suddenly that the other fat gangster who was traveling with him was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief and fear.

How can this be some weak woman who only knows a little embroidery skills?

It's clearly the deadly female Shura!

Xiuyun was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, as she was about to scream. She curled up to the side and trembled.

However, she reacted quickly and hid behind a huge rock to avoid becoming a burden to Jiang Song.

The fat gangster turned around and tried to escape, but Jiang Song would never give him this chance.

She used her Cloud Piercing Skill to approach the fat criminal instantly, took out her short sword "Double Stars", and pointed the sword light at the fat criminal's vest like lightning.

The fat gangster waved his sword to block in panic, but Jiang Song's swordsmanship was superb. The Double Star Sword easily bypassed the opponent's weapon and went straight to his vital point.

With a "puff" sound, the dagger pierced the fat gangster's chest. He fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and a look of astonishment on his face, and his blood dyed the snow red.

Hearing that there was no movement here, two more masked gangsters rushed out from behind the pine tree on the right.

"Second brother, is that woman..."

Before one of them could finish his words, he saw the miserable state of his companion on the ground and was stunned with shock.

Jiang Song stared at the two men coldly, the double-star sword in his hand flashing with cold light, as if announcing the arrival of the god of death.

These two gangsters were obviously much more cunning than their previous companions. They did not attack immediately, but looked at each other, and then one of them suddenly turned around and ran away.

The other man brandished a big knife in his hand and rushed towards Jiang Song in a bluffing manner, trying to buy her time to escape.

However, Jiang Song would never let them escape so easily.

She dodged the swinging sword with a flash of her body, and at the same time, she waved her left hand and a spiritual rope flew out, instantly tying up the fleeing man tightly.

Then she turned around and stabbed the gangster who was fighting with her with a sword.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man wanted to withdraw, but it was too late.

Jiang Song's sword instantly pierced his chest, blood gushed out, staining his clothes red.

After dealing with the two men, Jiang Song quickly turned around and walked towards the tied-up criminals.

The man was tightly bound by the spiritual ropes and could not move. He could only watch Jiang Song approach step by step.

Jiang Song picked up one of the daggers, made a beautiful sword flower, and then raised his sword and cut the tendons of the gangster's leg.

"Ah--" The gangster let out a shrill scream, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

Jiang Song looked at him coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes: "Tell me, are there any other accomplices around?"

The criminal trembled in pain, but gritted his teeth and refused to utter a word.

Seeing this, Jiang Song sneered and gently scratched the gangster's cheek with the tip of the sword in his hand, leaving a shallow blood mark.

"Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't speak?" Her tone was cold and authoritative. "I have plenty of ways to make you speak."

As she spoke, the tip of the sword in her hand moved closer again, and the criminal's psychological defenses collapsed instantly.

"I say! I say! There are two more, he, they are over there..." The gangster pointed tremblingly at a bush not far away.

Jiang Song looked in the direction he pointed and found a dense bush there, which seemed to be hiding something.

She smiled coldly, killed the gangster with a sword, and turned to walk towards the bushes.
