Chapter 1165 A sword cleaved the axe.
As he said this, Chang Da's legs felt like they were made of lead. With each movement, his heart trembled as he listened to the now completely silent room.
Minglang had been waiting at the door since she heard the commotion. As soon as Chang Da's head popped out, she was ready to knock him out with a hammer.
Unexpectedly, this kid turned out to be so timid at this moment.
It frantically tried to probe into the house, but wouldn't stick its head in.
Fortunately, Minglang didn't strike directly with his fist.
Otherwise, she would have been exposed before she was even physically assaulted.
Minglang stood between the door and the window. It was too dark inside the house for people outside to see in.
She was able to see the situation outside clearly by the moonlight.
Chang Da tested the waters several times. The people who were supposed to go to the other two rooms stopped moving when they heard that the dog was silent. They all huddled at the door, waiting for Chang Da's reaction.
Minglang sheathed his sword, fearing that he might accidentally stab Chang Da through the sword.
Zhuang Tou is getting old, and sometimes he can't handle external matters as well as Chang Da does.
It's more effective to target the head of the village than to target the village head.
Minglang endured Chang Da's probing attempts nearly a dozen times.
Chang Da stood at the doorway. The dog closest to him was lying on the ground, and only its lower body was visible.
His upper body was hidden in the dark room; he stood at the doorway, and that was all he could see.
"How is it? What's going on inside? Did the dog kill the woman?"
There have been instances before where all the family dogs rushed in, but that time it was a couple with their two children.
The man fought desperately to protect his wife and child, battling the dog for a long time.
When they went inside, several dogs were dead.
Those stupid dogs, a family of four, didn't leave them a single one to sell for money.
This time, although the men in the group were dressed in fine clothes, they were clearly the women's guards.
They must have some tricks up their sleeve.
This group, including Chang Da, had prepared for the worst. At worst, their dogs would die, as long as they could capture the person safely.
Once they're sold, we can afford to raise not only these dogs, but also seventy or eighty more.
Thinking of this, Chang Da patted his chest to bolster his courage and finally bravely took one step forward.
He stretched the torch into the house, trying to illuminate as much area as possible.
However, the room was pitch black, and Chang Da looked around several times but could only see two dogs lying on the ground.
There was no other way but to keep going in. Minglang had seen him many times before, like a turtle hiding its head, peeking out every now and then.
He didn't rush to take action. After he had fully entered the room, he saw clearly the dogs lying on the ground.
"Damn it! This is bad! Quick, go find Uncle Nine and tell him these women are really weird, even the dogs are dead!"
Upon seeing the dogs lying on the ground, Chang Da immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
After he leaned out and shouted that, a long sword slowly rose from his side.
Chang Da seemed to have a premonition and glanced to the side.
The next second, the scabbard of the longsword struck his head, and Chang Dalian didn't even have time to utter a final scream before collapsing to the ground.
"Chang Da is dead! Chang Da is dead!"
Chang Da's front half was exposed, and the torch in his hand rolled twice on the ground before rolling to the feet of the group of people.
"Ah! Run quickly!"
Chang Da was gone as soon as he finished speaking. These people had done such beastly things, and in the middle of the night they were afraid that the women they had sold would turn into vengeful ghosts and come to claim their lives.
He immediately turned around and ran outside.
The group of people closest to the courtyard gate had already rushed out the moment Chang Da shouted that.
By the time those further away realized what was happening, they hadn't even had a chance to take a step back.
The heads of the fastest runners had already rolled to their feet.
Xiang Ke's guards stood watch at the courtyard gate, their two long swords still dripping blood.
Seeing these people looking at him, he smiled coldly at them.
That alone had terrified the group so much that they nearly lost their minds.
"There's...there's a ghost!"
There were ghosts outside, and these people dared not rush out again, retreating in fear of Qu Fu.
Qu Fu closed the courtyard gate and, hearing the horrific screams inside, stood guard outside with his knife.
Anyone who dares to climb over the wall and run away will have their hand chopped off before they even land.
Xiang Ke, who was in the yard, couldn't wait any longer. As soon as the door closed, she was ready.
I saw His Highness wearing a mask by the window, looking like a vengeful ghost in the night, carrying a sword as he came out.
Each step felt like walking on the fragile, yet unfrightened, hearts of these people.
The courtyard wasn't large, and His Highness slashed down two with his sword.
The others scattered in the yard to escape, begging for their lives.
"Hero, spare us! Hero, spare us! It was the head of the manor and Chang Da who decided to kidnap you. We really didn't know anything about it. We were forced into this situation. Hero, spare us!"
Minglang ignored these vested interests; they were all criminals, and even if they were sentenced, the lowest they would get was a suspended death sentence, allowing them to starve for a couple more days and become starving ghosts before being reincarnated.
The right wing was right across from the left wing. In their haste to escape, the group of people opened every door they could find to see if there was any way out.
Minglang was still following closely behind.
As soon as the door to the right wing opened, these people rushed in, before Qin Xiaosi could even make a move.
He simply placed the sword behind the door, at an angle where the moonlight couldn't reach, and these people were already terrified.
He ran right into Qin Xiaosi's sword without even looking.
When Qin Xiaosi went out with his sword, there was already a string of people hanging from it.
Now only the door to the main room remains. Although they know there might be people inside, two swords are chasing after them.
Even if hell lies ahead, as long as I can die a few seconds later than those around me.
These people will press on relentlessly until they open the door to the room where Xiang Ke is.
Xiang Ke's twin blades looked even more frightening than those two swords.
Xiang Ke couldn't wait for these people to run into her knife, so she raised her knife and rushed out.
He wreaked havoc on the outside world.
"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death! Today it's either you or me! I don't believe that we can't take down the three of you with so many of us."
Seeing that they couldn't escape, these people simply stopped running and remained in the courtyard littered with corpses.
A group of people huddled together, holding large knives or farm tools, all raised. Anyone who took one step closer to their circle of unity would be struck down with a farm tool.
Minglang directly cleaved an axe in half with his sword right in front of the group, instantly shocking everyone.
