Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Chapter 488 Su Yu took the woman away.

As the dust and mist dissipated slightly, a graceful figure in black slowly emerged from within.

This person exuded a chilling aura, as if he were a killing god from the deepest hell.

The guard held the woman tightly in his arms, his body involuntarily taking a step back.

As the dust and mist gradually dissipated, what appeared before them were rows of corpses lying haphazardly, blood staining the ground red, and a strong stench of blood permeating the air.

A chill ran down the guard's spine. His eyes widened in terror as he stared at Su Yu before him, his voice trembling as he asked, "Who...who are you?!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Yu sent out an incredibly sharp dagger that flew straight into the ground near the guard's feet.

She slightly raised her beautiful eyebrows, her eyes cold and sharp, and said in a chilling tone, "I should be the one asking you, who exactly are you people!"

The guard didn't answer; instead, he focused all his attention on the unconscious woman in his arms, anxiously calling out, "Miss Sang! Miss Sang! Wake up!"

Judging from the appearance, the woman known as Miss Sang is the leader of their group.

Su Yu crossed her arms and stood still, no longer moving forward. Instead, she said in a negotiating tone, "Let's make a deal. If you tell me who's behind you, I'll spare your lives. How about it?"

The guards didn't listen to Su Yu at all, and didn't even glance at her.

He placed the woman on the ground, then swiftly drew his long sword from his waist, roared, and pounced on Su Yu.

Su Yu dodged to the side, avoiding the guard's fierce attack.

She then moved nimbly and managed to exchange a few blows with the guard.

During the fight, she didn't forget to continue persuading the guard: "Why are you so stubborn? Is this deal to save your life really that good? Aren't you going to consider it?"

The guard completely ignored Su Yu's words, his moves were extremely fierce, each move aimed directly at Su Yu's vital points, clearly intending to kill him!

It seems hopeless to get any useful information out of this person.

Since it was clear that no clues could be obtained from the guard, Su Yu decided to stop holding back.

With a sudden swing of his longsword, a flash of cold light appeared, and the guard's life was instantly ended.

At this moment, apart from the unconscious woman, there was no other living person in the entire courtyard.

Those who had previously opposed Su Yu showed no fear no matter how he questioned them; they were determined to die rather than surrender, and would fight to the last moment.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming stench of blood that caused the woman to slowly awaken.

Seeing this, Su Yu immediately squatted down, quietly gazing at the woman's gradually opening eyes, and softly asked, "Awake?"

As soon as the woman opened her eyes, she was greeted by a scene of corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, their blood staining the earth red – a truly horrifying sight.

She gasped in shock, her face filled with astonishment. She struggled to sit up, but her gaze remained vacant, as if she had not yet recovered from the horrific scene before her.

After a long while, her eyes had turned bloodshot.

She stared intently at Su Yu, her eyes filled with anger, and her voice trembled as she demanded, "Who exactly are you?!"

Su Yu revealed a strange smile and said softly, "Didn't you already guess that?"

The woman's body trembled violently, and she staggered to her feet with difficulty.

She slowly turned her head and looked around.

Corpses lay scattered haphazardly throughout the courtyard, the ground stained crimson with blood, and the air thick with the stench of blood.

She shook her head blankly, muttering to herself, "This can't be, this is simply impossible..."

Judging from her appearance, someone who didn't know her might really think she had been so frightened that she had gone insane.

But Su Yu knew very well that this seemingly weak woman was actually very shrewd.

Suddenly, the woman's eyes flashed, and taking advantage of Su Yu's slight lapse in concentration, she quickly made a move, intending to ambush Su Yu and take the opportunity to escape.

But before she could launch her hidden weapon, a strange fragrance wafted over.

Then, everything went black before her eyes, and she lost consciousness, collapsing limply to the ground.

Su Yu was prepared, and she released a sleeping potion without making a sound.

Looking at the woman who had fainted on the ground, Su Yu sighed softly, then waved his hand and put her into his spatial storage.

After dealing with the woman, Su Yu turned and walked out of the courtyard, mounted his horse, and galloped away.

Not long after, Su Yu returned to Jizhou City.

At this moment, the city gates were tightly closed, and the guards on the city towers were vigilantly watching the movements outside the city.

Su Yu dismounted and walked to the base of the wall. He took out a claw rope gun from his spatial storage, aimed at the city wall, and fired it with all his might.

The grappling hook gripped the city wall accurately, and Su Yu held onto the rope with both hands, climbing up the wall.

Despite it being late at night, the patrol teams inside Jizhou City remained very tight.

Holding torches, they traversed the streets and alleys, leaving no suspicious place unchecked.

None of these posed a significant threat to Su Yu. She avoided the patrol team's sight and moved among the rooftops.

Having just arrived at the inn, and before even leaping off its towering roof, one could hear a series of chaotic and heavy breathing sounds coming from the room below.

Mo Liu and Yan'er stood on either side, each holding a sharp blade, their eyes fixed on Baili Yan, who was clutching his chest.

Mo Liu said with a serious expression, "Don't bother! The princess has her own plans. Besides, you are seriously injured now. If you act rashly, it will only cause more trouble."

As he spoke, Mo Liu reached out and rubbed his left eye, which was red and swollen from a hard punch, and muttered a complaint, "I have to say, you little rascal, you really know how to hit hard!"

A trace of bright red blood clung to the corner of Yan'er's lips, clearly indicating that she had been injured by Baili Jiyan earlier.

After Baili Jiyan awoke from his coma, he heard that Su Yu had ventured alone into the lion's den. He was extremely anxious and immediately set off to search for her.

Yan'er knew the danger involved and insisted on stopping him from going.

So the two started fighting.

After a fierce battle, although the poison in Baili Jiyan's body had been neutralized, his injuries were still severe and had not yet healed.

It was already quite an achievement to have injured Yan'er to this extent, considering that he was already exhausted.

Mo Liu happened to rush back and, seeing the situation, immediately offered his help.

Baili Jiyan mustered all his strength, seized the opportunity, and threw a punch at him, but he was already at his limit.

This has led to the current stalemate, with none of the three willing to give in.

The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense and heavy.
