Yan Dong led the team forward, her eyes locking onto Jiu Zhu and Mu Jinkun as they attempted to escape. She shouted, "Kill!"
Equipped with a Compound Bow and an Oil Saw, the Imperial Guards charged in like wolves.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the Oil Saw echoed through the night, shattering the silence completely. Ten Celestial Maidens stood guard, moving closer as they heard the commotion. Four of them, resolute, turned and rushed toward the Imperial Guards.
They had to buy time for Jiu Zhu and Zhuang Yuan Ye to retreat!
The four Ten Celestial Maidens wielded Eight-Sided Han Swords as they charged forward. These swords were trophies taken from the Imperial Guards they had slain; their original weapons had long been broken.
As they approached the Royal Guard, they saw a figure clad in fifty pounds of Heavy Armor, wielding an Oil Saw with an air of arrogance, charging toward them with a thunderous roar that resembled a demon.
The four women had never encountered such a terrifying scene before, and the sound of the Oil Saw sent tremors through their bodies. In truth, facing a Heavy Armor infantryman wielding an Oil Saw was enough to scare anyone into fleeing!
However, these women were elite fighters personally trained by Jiu Zhu. After a brief internal struggle, they steeled themselves and charged at the Royal Guard with their Eight-Sided Han Swords.
The first eight Imperial Guards swung their Oil Saws as they advanced.
Crack! Crack!
A series of shattering sounds erupted!
The eight Eight-Sided Han Swords were simultaneously knocked away. The eight Oil Saws descended upon the four women, instantly tearing them into dozens of pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere, splattering all over the eight Imperial Guards.
No!
Ah!
Jiu Zhu watched in horror as her four trusted subordinates were killed in an instant, her heart filled with rage as she screamed in despair.
The four Ten Celestial Maidens unleashed their skills and forced their way through to create a path. The other two grabbed Jiu Zhu and Mu Jinkun, pushing toward the back door.
Ah, my subordinates trained by the palace!
Jiang Han is my sworn enemy!
Jiu Zhu's eyes reddened with fury as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Mu Jinkun had been slashed on his right leg and back multiple times, his hands also bearing wounds. Half-limping out, he shouted, "Master! Those who know when to retreat are wise! We must leave quickly; only by escaping can we have a chance! We cannot be captured by the Great Zhou Dynasty's army!"
Otherwise, we are doomed!
Hearing this, Jiu Zhu could only hold back her tears and ordered the remaining six Ten Celestial Maidens to block the Imperial Guards.
She dragged Mu Jinkun and plunged into the jungle. The Great Zhou Dynasty would definitely know that she was responsible for this. She would also know that the Great Zhou Dynasty knew she was responsible. However, since the Great Zhou Dynasty did not capture her on the spot and lacked ironclad evidence, there was nothing they could do.
Jiu Zhu and Mu Jinkun tumbled down the hillside, fleeing in a panic. Six of the Ten Celestial Maidens each seized two Eight-Sided Han Swords, unleashing their might and swiftly killing over thirty special forces soldiers. With the Eight-Sided Han Sword made of high carbon steel, their terrifying strength allowed them to pierce through heavy armor with a single thrust.
The Imperial Guard mostly consisted of heavy infantry, but before these six women, they were slaughtered like unarmored soldiers. Yet, it had only been a short while since the six women began their rampage! Yan Dong led a troop equipped with oil saws and compound bows, charging from behind.
She stepped forward a few paces and glanced at the jungle below the hillside, realizing that capturing Jiu Zhu and Mu Jinkun was impossible; she could only focus on those six. "Surrender and come back with us; explain everything clearly! You can save your lives."
The six women exchanged cold laughs but did not respond. Gripping their Eight-Sided Han Swords, they charged forward. Yan Dong waved her hand, and a dozen compound bow soldiers stepped up, aiming at them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows flew out! One arrow struck one of the Ten Celestial Maidens, pinning her to the ground. The other Ten Celestial Maidens were also hit one after another, their bodies nailed to the earth. Each arrow was specially made, weighing a pound. Each compound bow had a draw weight of a thousand pounds, far surpassing other bows.
In a flurry of shots, all six Ten Celestial Maidens were pinned to the ground. These fierce warriors were thus shot down.
Seeing this scene, Yan Dong finally approached the hillside. She looked down at the jungle and coldly said, "Do you still want to capture us Jiang? You are simply dreaming! Today will serve as a little lesson for you!"
She turned around and drew her sword outside Hongfu Temple. As she watched the troops pursuing Che Chengyun return, she asked, "How did it go?"
"Reporting to Commander Yan Dong! The other group ran too fast; we couldn't catch up!" replied an Imperial Guard soldier.
"Che Chengyun... Che Shizi," Yan Dong said coldly as she gazed at the mountain across from her. "You two share the same temperament."
Looking around decisively, she added, "Clean up the battlefield and change into new gear to adapt better; I will go ahead!"
Half an hour later, in the Jiang Han Tavern, Yan Dong had removed her armor and changed into a long skirt. She gently massaged Jiang Han's temples while recounting the events at Hongfu Temple.
Jiang Han chuckled and said, "Che Chengyun is quite amusing. The father and son duo both fell for Mu Jinkun's tricks!"
"Indeed, Shopkeeper Jiang! I suspect that Jiu Zhu will be the first to cause trouble for Langya Wangfu once he returns," Yan Dong replied softly, feeding Jiang Han grapes with tender affection.
Beside them, Piao Xue Zhu and Cen Ya watched Ling Xue with crossed arms. When Ling Xue learned that it was a trap, she felt as if the sky had fallen. She was even afraid to return to Langya Wangfu. She knew she had been exposed; otherwise, Heir and Jiu Zhu wouldn't have fallen into the trap.
At this moment, Ling Xue hung her head low, appearing resigned to whatever Jiang Han and the others decided to do with her. The beauty's charm couldn't compare to being set up in such a scheme!
"Ling Xue, come here. I have something to discuss with you!" Jiang Han called out from the sofa, waving her hand. "Don't worry; I won't harm you. I just want to talk."
Ling Xue lowered her head like a little girl who had done something wrong and walked over to Jiang Han.
Jiang Han scrutinized Ling Xue and asked with a smile, "You're not the biological daughter of Langya Prince, are you?"
Ling Xue nodded.
"Langya Prince sent you to get close to me, likely instructing you to become my woman! Then you were supposed to find a way to extract some information from me?" Jiang Han continued questioning.
Ling Xue nodded again and suddenly knelt down with a thud, presenting herself as someone who would let Jiang Han do as he pleased.
Jiang Han instead sat up calmly, chuckling as she helped Ling Xue back to her feet and seated her beside herself. Then she returned to her own position, planning to thoroughly win over Ling Xue's heart so that Ling Xue would belong to her.
