Chapter 294 Going into danger alone
At this time, on Ganzhou Island, hundreds of miles away, Huo Jianjie was recuperating from his injuries, completely unaware of the thrilling drama that was about to be staged at the He Family Villa on Donghai Island.
The He family villa was brightly lit, just like daytime.
He Jinyan stood in the corridor, playing with an exquisite folding fan in his hand, with a smug look on his face.
He sent people to get rid of Huo Jianjie, knowing that this action would inevitably lead to revenge, so he transferred a large number of elite personnel from the He family's main residence early on, set up a tight net, and waited for the revenge seeker to fall into the trap.
"Hmph! I don't believe they can endure it." He Jinyan sneered, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
He waited for two nights, but there was no movement. He couldn't help feeling annoyed and even began to suspect that Chu Lingfeng and others were frightened by his methods.
Just when he thought that Chu Lingfeng and the others were nothing special, there was finally movement.
When He Jinyan learned that the person who sneaked in was Murong Ling'er, the most powerful person around Chu Lingfeng, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The news he had received before only emphasized that this woman was a skilled martial artist and had repeatedly disrupted the He family's assassination plans, but did not describe her appearance.
When Murong Linger, wearing a light blue dress, stepped into the He family's villa alone, He Jinyan's eyes were instantly attracted to her. Her beauty was like the brightest star in the night sky, and it became even more dazzling under the light.
He Jinyan was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that a woman with great martial arts skills could have such a moving face, which was much more beautiful than his new concubines.
However, He Jinyan was the young master of the He family after all, and had seen a lot of the world. He was stunned for only a moment and then quickly came to his senses.
A cynical smile then appeared on his face, as if announcing to Murong Ling'er that this was his territory and everything was under his control.
Murong Ling'er's eyes were cold, like a sharp blade, staring straight at He Jinyan in the corridor. There was no fear in her eyes, only endless anger and firm determination.
"Young Master He, are you waiting for me?" Her voice was crisp yet chilling, as if it could penetrate the sultry air.
"To be exact, I'm waiting for Chu Lingfeng."
He Jinyan gently waved his folding fan and said slowly, "But it is reasonable that I can wait for Miss Murong." His eyes looked over Murong Ling'er wantonly, as if he was admiring a rare treasure.
He Jinyan then changed the subject, his tone filled with sarcasm. "But come to think of it, how dare that coward Chu Lingfeng let his woman go into such a dangerous place alone? Isn't he afraid that you'll fall into my hands? You should know that in Longmen City, and even in the entire East China Sea, anyone who dares to oppose the He family will never have a good end."
As he spoke, he laughed wildly, and his laughter echoed in the night sky, sounding particularly harsh.
"But! My treatment of beauties is a different matter."
He Jinyan's lips curled up into a wicked smile, his eyes flashing with ill intent, "As long as Miss Murong is willing to obey, I promise that not only will I not embarrass you, but I will also let you enjoy all the glory and wealth."
As he spoke, he slowly took a step forward, as if wanting to get closer to Murong Ling'er.
He Jinyan looked at the graceful Murong Ling'er in front of him with a greedy and obscene smile on his face. He was secretly calculating the prey that was about to be caught, as if everything was under his control.
Murong Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly, a subtle hint of disgust flashing across her eyes. Then, the corners of her mouth curved into an unruly arc, and her voice, like a silver bell, carried a hint of heroism: "Do you think you can capture me with your mediocre skills? After tonight, I'm afraid you will be the one being held captive!"
Her words were full of provocation, and her tone was as if He Jinyan in front of her was just an ant, not worth her attention at all.
After hearing this, He Jinyan was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed even more wantonly and arrogantly: "Murong Ling'er, stop being stubborn. Since you have stepped into this courtyard today, don't even think about leaving alive. If you are smart, obey me obediently, and maybe I can still give you a chance to live."
After saying this, he waved his hand triumphantly, signaling his men to prepare to take action.
At this moment, the villa, which was originally brightly lit, suddenly fell into darkness. Dozens of lanterns hanging high in the wind suddenly caught fire on their own. The flames were blazing, and in an instant they turned into a pile of ashes.
This sudden change made He Jinyan's heart tighten, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. But he quickly calmed down, thinking it was just Murong Ling'er's trick, and immediately gave a fierce order: "Go, take her down, dead or alive!"
In an instant, dark shadows gathered quickly from all directions like ghosts, surrounding Murong Ling'er.
These people were all death warriors carefully trained by He Jinyan. They were all agile and had cold murderous intent in their eyes. They held sharp blades with cold light flashing, blocking Murong Ling'er's retreat tightly and airtightly.
Murong Ling'er was not afraid at all. She raised her jade hand lightly, and a long sword instantly appeared in her hand. The sword was crystal clear and flickered with a strange light under the faint moonlight.
Her eyebrows were raised, her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she shouted delicately: "Then let you see how powerful I am!" Before she finished speaking, her body was as fast as lightning, and she rushed towards the assassins like a blue lightning.
For a moment, the yard was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.
Murong Ling'er held a long sword in her hand, and the sword's power was sharp. Every time she swung the sword, it brought up a bloody storm. The sword energy surged and spread from her body. Anyone who was touched by the sword energy would lose limbs and be knocked away by the powerful force.
Her swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water and as violent as a storm, dazzling and impossible to resist.
Although the assassins were numerous, they seemed vulnerable under Murong Ling'er's sword. They rushed forward again and again, but fell in a pool of blood again and again.
Murong Ling'er moved among the crowd as if she was in an empty space. Every movement she made was full of strength and beauty. Her eyes were cold and firm, as if these dead men were nothing more than a pile of lifeless dolls in her eyes.
He Jinyan, who was hiding in the house, couldn't help feeling uneasy when hearing the fierce fighting sounds coming from the yard.
He originally thought that Murong Ling'er was just a weak woman who was powerless and could be easily subdued by sending a few assassins.
But he didn't expect that this woman's martial arts skills were so powerful, far beyond his imagination.
As the sounds of people falling in the yard became more frequent and rapid, He Jinyan's originally relaxed and playful expression gradually became solemn, and a layer of fine beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.
"How is this possible? How could seventy or eighty elite soldiers..." He Jinyan muttered to himself, his heart full of confusion and fear.
He began to regret his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, and should not have acted so rashly against Murong Ling'er.
But at this moment, he was already in a difficult situation and could only hope that his assassins could get rid of Murong Ling'er as soon as possible.
However, his hopes were soon dashed.
In less than an incense stick of time, the fighting in the yard stopped abruptly and fell into dead silence.
He Jinyan was startled. He thought the assassins had succeeded. Just as he was about to let go of his worry, he suddenly heard Murong Ling'er's cold voice: "What are you doing hiding in there? Are you afraid to come out?"
The sound was like a thunder, exploding in He Jinyan's ears, making him terrified.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" He Jinyan widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
