The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

Xiao Ji gave them no chance to recover. His long sword plunged straight in, like a dragon entering the sea with earth-shattering power. Wherever the sharp sword energy went, sand and stones flew.

The three Blood Night Protectors barely managed to gain their footing before Xiao Ji's sword energy was already at their faces.

The three could only scatter, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Xiao Ji.

Such fast swordsmanship.

In order to finish the battle quickly, the three of them charged towards Xiao Ji together.

The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them.

Once Xiao Ji's secret guards arrive, this mission will definitely fail.

Xiao Ji felt the same way. If it weren't for Song Wenjun and the child, he could have dragged the three elders down with him and slowly worn them down.

But Song Wenjun didn't know martial arts; she was just a weak woman holding a child.

Xiao Tao was clearly also held back and unable to come over to protect her.

He could only quickly and severely injure one of the three guardians before rushing over to protect Song Wenjun.

Xiao Ji's speed increased, and his sword energy created afterimages that were both real and illusory, making it difficult to see clearly.

What surprised the three protectors even more was that Xiao Ji was fighting with a reckless, suicidal style.

His moves are fast, accurate, and ruthless.

However, the defenses were riddled with flaws, as if the enemy truly intended to perish together with them.

Thinking he had found an opportunity, the Third Protector lunged at Xiao Ji's back. However, Xiao Ji swiftly returned the thrust with his sword while simultaneously dodging the attack with agility. Not only did the Third Protector fail to injure him, but he himself was stabbed through the shoulder.

When the other two protectors saw that the third brother was injured, they cursed, "What a despicable tactic! You deliberately exposed a flaw to lure us into a trap. You call yourself a pure and upright person? Bah!"

Xiao Ji was handsome and upright.

When he usually travels around the martial arts world, he is always dressed in white with his hair tied up with a jade crown.

In addition, his agile lightness skill was like a gentle breeze, so people in the martial arts world called him the Gentleman Gentle Breeze.

He rarely showed his face in the martial arts world, and very few people had ever seen him, so these protectors had no idea what his temperament was like.

I thought he was like those upright swordsmen, disdaining to use tricks.

Unexpectedly, they learned something new today.

Xiao Ji sheathed his sword, giving them no chance to speak, and his sword energy swept across the ground, exploding instantly.

The three protectors hurriedly retreated, but by the time the smoke cleared, Xiao Ji had already disappeared.

"Damn it, is this Xiao Ji? He runs faster than a rabbit!" The Great Protector cursed angrily.

They lost many men in this assassination attempt, but they didn't even manage to touch the hem of Xiao Ji's clothes.

More importantly, Xiao Ji completely surprised him.

One prince not only cheated, but he also ran away.

The other two protectors were equally bewildered: "Could it be that we've found the wrong person?"

"Impossible, he is Xiao Ji." The Second Protector angrily rubbed his bald head and said to the two men, "Chase him! We can't explain to the Pavilion Master if we don't kill him today."

The three nodded and chased after Xiao Jifei in the direction he had gone.

……

Song Wenjun carried the child and fled all the way. She was not running aimlessly, but was running towards the Jingwei Command Post.

As long as she sends out the message in time, the Imperial Guard will definitely send someone over, and then Xiao Ji will be able to escape his predicament.

However, she had only run two blocks when two men in black blocked her way, one in front and one behind.

Song Wenjun stopped and looked at the two people approaching. She couldn't help but hug her child tighter.

She wasn't afraid of dying, but her child absolutely could not be harmed.

As the two drew closer, Song Wenjun spoke up: "Who instructed you? What benefits did they give you? I'll pay three times the price."

The man in black was clearly taken aback, feeling somewhat incredulous.

This was the first time they had ever encountered such a calm woman who not only didn't panic and beg for mercy, but also offered a high price to buy her off.

Seeing that their expressions had softened somewhat, Song Wenjun spoke again: "You live on the edge of a knife, isn't it all for money? I can give you a sum of money that will ensure you have enough to eat and wear for the rest of your lives. Fifty thousand taels, how about it?"

The man in black stopped, and the two exchanged a glance, both seeing the conflict in each other's eyes.

Fifty thousand taels! They only get five hundred taels for each mission.

This young woman asked for 50,000 right off the bat. Is she that extravagant?

“I’m just an unrelated person who only wants to live a good life with my child. Your employer probably doesn’t want to kill just a woman and a child like me. I’ll give you 50,000 taels of silver. Just pretend you never saw me and you’re not disobeying orders. Isn’t that better?”

Song Wenjun's words made the men in black ponder for a moment. One of them, unable to resist the temptation, asked her, "Where's the silver?"

Seeing that his companion had relented, the other person quickly tugged at him: "Are you crazy?"

“She’s right. We could work ourselves to the bone and never earn that much money in our entire lives. With this money, we can rest easy.” The other person was clearly moved by Song Wenjun’s sincerity and was determined to get the money.

Seeing that the other party was so willing, his companion agreed: "Take us to get the silver."

“I’ll take you to my shop.” Song Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief; thank goodness.

She nodded and walked forward, carrying the child.

Suddenly a gust of wind came from behind, and with two muffled thuds, the two men in black slowly fell to the ground.

Song Wenjun didn't dare turn around and ran away. A figure flashed before her eyes, and she saw a stunningly handsome man standing in front of her.

Like a ghost or a demon, it bewitches all beings.

Mei opened her blood-covered hand, inhaling the bloody scent from her fingertips with a fascination, and looked at Song Wenjun with seductive eyes: "Where do you think you're going?"

Fear finally showed in Song Wenjun's eyes. It was this monster who had just shattered the hearts of two men in black.

At this moment, he slowly walked towards him like a vengeful ghost.

Song Wenjun, holding the child, retreated step by step.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" She was finally afraid, and for the first time in her life, she felt the breath of death.

"Hahaha..." Mei seemed to enjoy her trembling appearance, and laughed loudly, "What do you think?"

He took a step forward, and Song Wenjun took a step back.

Just as Mei was about to reach out and end Song Wenjun's life, a soft, baby-like voice rang out: "Ya ya, pfft..."

Yan Yan waved her two chubby little fists and spat at Mei.

Mei froze on the spot as if petrified. He stared at Yan Yan as if he had seen something terrifying, muttering, "Sword Bone, a person born with Sword Bone?"

He took two steps forward as if in a trance, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Jinyan's arm, touching it.

Song Wenjun was so frightened that she dared not breathe, fearing that he might kill her and her child with a single forceful movement.

"My God, what a promising talent! I never expected that I would actually find someone with a natural talent for swordsmanship."

Song Wenjun forcefully pushed Mei away, hugged Gu Jinyan tightly, and turned to run away.

Mei blocked her path like a ghost, her brows furrowed with impatience: "Woman, you're such a nuisance. I want this child, you can die in peace now."
