Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 230 No rescue!

Gradually, the servants who had escaped the pursuit began to flee towards the west courtyard in panic, and of course, they brought pursuers with them.

Several servants did run away, but there was one who was not so lucky. He was caught and chopped to the ground with a knife, but he was not killed. His miserable screams were creepy, and blood was all over the ground.

Although Cui Xiaoyi was considered brave, he was still frightened when he encountered such a thing. He lowered his voice and said to Gong Tianwu:
"Qi, Qi brother, what are we still doing here? Quickly sneak out the back door and report to the police!!"

Gong Tianwu shook his head and said:
"If we leave now, it's too late. The other party came here with a plan. They must have placed people blocking the back door. If we rush out, we will die."

As if to verify the correctness of Gong Tianwu's words, two minutes later, Mrs. Zhong from next door took her daughter and went out like a thief, carrying large and small bags on their backs.

The two men were shaking like sieves, but they were able to hold it in and tiptoed along the path towards the back door.

As a result, a few minutes later, Mrs. Zhong disappeared, and her daughter staggered back in. The package behind her was gone, and she suddenly fell to the ground. Two more arrows could be seen behind her, still shaking slightly.

After more than ten seconds, blood could be seen flowing out from under his body, and he was no longer moving.

After seeing this scene, Cui Xiaoyi felt even colder and stammered:

"Seventh brother, Seventh brother, why did such a disaster suddenly happen in your house? Are we going to die here today?"

Speaking of this, Cui Xiaoyi couldn't help but shed tears.

Gong Tianwu smiled and said:

"Mom, don't worry, we will be fine today. It's not that we don't have enough manpower in the mansion, but most of the forces have been sent out, so we were caught off guard."

"But when they come to their senses and come back to help, we will be safe."

Cui Xiaoyi felt relieved when he heard his son's promise.

Gong Tianwu patted her shoulder and said:
"Mom, it's okay, don't worry, I promise."

Just as the mother and son were talking, there was a commotion at the entrance of the west courtyard, and then a dozen soldiers holding torches quickly walked over.

It can be seen that these ten or so soldiers all have obvious traces of blood on their bodies, unique tattoos, and ferocious looks. They also have a bloodstained package on their waists and hold cold steel knives in their hands. It is obvious that they have no good intentions.

After they arrived at the west courtyard, they immediately divided into groups of three or four and began to search house by house. Soon, continuous screams were heard.

Seeing this scene, Cui Xiaoyi was so frightened that he trembled all over. He tightly grasped Gong Tianwu's hand and said:

"Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother, what should we do?"

Gong Tianwu patted her hands and comforted her:

"Don't worry, it's okay."

At this time, there was a loud clang from the front door, and then it was kicked open in no time. Then four soldiers rushed in brutally, their faces distorted by the excitement of killing, with bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes, and the packages around their waists were still dripping with blood.

To these four people, this courtyard was no different from the others. The people living in it were just civilians who could be tortured and killed at will.

The leading soldier shook off the blood on his hands, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and laughed softly:

"Brothers, let's have some more fun tonight!"

However, they did not know that this seemingly ordinary courtyard was the place with the strongest defense in the entire marquis' mansion!
The four soldiers had just stepped into the yard and had not yet gained a firm foothold when two dark shadows silently jumped out from the shadows - they were the two fierce dogs raised by Gong Tianwu, Red Hair and Big Ears.

At this time, they were as strong as calves, with extremely terrifying impact force and lightning speed.

Before the leading soldier could react, the red-haired man had already hit his right leg.

You have to know that the red-haired guy was also wearing soft armor at this time. With a weight of nearly 70 kilograms and an astonishing speed, the impact force was very terrifying. He immediately lost his balance and fell down.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Big Ears pounced on him and bit him with a "grunt". The sharp fangs directly pierced his throat.

The soldier opened his eyes wide and wanted to shout, but only a faint "ho ho" sound came out of his throat, and then he collapsed to the ground.

It was dark at the time, and the situation was so chaotic that the other three soldiers didn't realize that their companion was dying. They just thought he had tripped and fallen.

So someone immediately rushed over to check, while the other two drew their swords and were on guard.

However, Big Ears had quietly circled behind them, bit the ankle of a soldier, and pulled him to the ground again, and Red Hair bit him hard.

There is no doubt that at this time the attention of the other soldiers was focused on Big Ears, so Tan De had already taken action in time.

Before the leading soldier could react, he felt a chill on his neck. Tan De had appeared behind him like a ghost, and with a sharp dagger, he cut his throat with a light stroke.

He widened his eyes and wanted to shout, but he could only make a faint sound of "hoho" and then collapsed to the ground, with a large amount of blood flowing out from under him.

Another soldier retreated in fear and tried to escape, but Tan De stepped forward again to block his way.

The two men were standing almost face to face. Tan De slashed his throat with his palm. His internal energy easily penetrated his body and shattered his throat.

The soldier didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground, writhing in pain and strangling his throat. After a while, he became motionless.

Four elite warriors who had fought in hundreds of battles were completely killed in just five or six breaths!

Then Tan De squatted down and conducted a simple search of the four people, and then came up to Gong Tianwu with a bloody package:
"My Lord, this is the property we found on them."

Gong Tianwu said casually:
"You keep half, and give the rest to the others to share equally."

The ones they were referring to were the Wulouwei who were guarding nearby.

Tan De then said:
"My Lord, the armor on these people shows traces of water forging, and the bell prints are in the shape of axes. It is almost certain that they are from the country of Cheming. They should be the elite of the border army."

Gong Tianwu was a little surprised after hearing this:
"We finally figured out their identity. It turns out to be this group of guys. Then let's follow the original plan." After this group of people were wiped out, they didn't have time to attract the attention of the rest of their companions at first, but soon someone realized something was wrong and shouted a few times outside before searching over.

There is no doubt that the guys who entered the yard again were killed like chopping melons and vegetables in a short time.

In fact, the combat power of these guys is quite amazing. If they fight to the death on flat ground, the ten of them can replace Tan De, the innate master.

It's a pity that they all entered in groups of three or five, and they were fighting at night and in separate battles inside buildings. This was completely using their own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, so it was normal for them to fail.

After all, Gong Tianwu is not a person who likes to take risks. He adheres to the principle of doing things with all his strength even if a lion fights a rabbit.

In extreme cases, with the people around Gong Tianwu and his True Feather Heart Technique, it would be impossible to take this place down without one or two hundred elite soldiers.

Soon, a fire broke out in the mansion. It was obvious that the fire was set by one of their own people in order to notify the elite troops who were out to return for help.

Gong Tianwu stood in the shadow on the attic, watching the chaotic situation outside with sharp eyes.

Listening to the shouts, the clashing of swords, and the screams in the distance, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if even the wind was dyed red.

Suddenly, Gong Tianwu's pupils shrank slightly, because a large group of people suddenly rushed over from a distance.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this group of people was actually divided into two groups. The four or five people in the front were already in a miserable state, and it seemed that they could not hold on for too long. The person protecting the middle was none other than Gong Tianwu's fifth brother Chen Feiqing, the guy who had plotted against him before.

At this time, Chen Feiqing's face was pale, and there were many wounds on his body that were bleeding. He seemed to be staggering when he walked. His personal guards were also all injured, but they still fought hard to protect him and tried to fight a way out for him.

Cui Xiaoyi was standing next to Gong Tianwu. When he saw this scene, his face turned pale instantly.

She held her son's arm tightly, her voice trembling:
"Seventh Brother, that's your fifth brother! Quick, save him!"

Gong Tianwu did not move, his eyes remained cold, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Soon, Chen Feiqing and his bodyguards were forced into the corner by the pursuers. Amid the flash of swords and sabers, the bodyguards fell one after another, and blood splattered on the wall, staining the blue bricks red.

Witnessing all this, Gong Tianwu remained indifferent.

Cui Xiaoyi was anxious, with tears in her voice:

"Kid, he's your brother! You can't just stand by and watch him die! Hurry up!!"

Cui Xiaoyi's last words were directed to Wulouwei and Tan De next to him.

But Wulouwei did not move, while Tan De bowed slightly and said softly:
"Madam, the Lord has said one word, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation."

The implication of his words was very direct. If the master did not give the order, he would not move.

Cui Xiaoyi was anxious, and hurriedly pulled her son and cried:

"Save people, save people quickly!"

Gong Tianwu remained silent, but he turned his head slightly and glanced at his mother. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if the killing in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Half a minute later, Chen Feiqing's screams were heard. He fell in a pool of blood after being hacked by a mad knife. His eyes were wide open and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he could not believe until his death that he, who had such a bright future, would die here.

Those vicious enemies were not willing to take any risks. Even after confirming that Chen Feiqing was dead, they cut off his head and then quickly withdrew, leaving behind only corpses and a strong smell of blood.

Witnessing this cruel scene, Cui Xiaoyi collapsed on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs:
"Seventh Brother, how could you...how could you be so cruel?"

Gong Tianwu slowly turned around and looked down at his mother, his voice low and cold:
"You think he is my brother, but in the past ten years, he has never considered me a brother. He has called many slaves and prostitutes."

Cui Xiaoyi was stunned, and looked up at her son, as if she didn't know him. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't say a word.

Gong Tianwu's eyes swept over Chen Feiqing's body, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Besides, if saving him is just a piece of cake, then I can still consider it, but there were so many enemies just now. If I take action, it might attract a large number of enemies!"

"By then, we might as well die here, mother. Do you want to see this?"

Cui Xiaoyi covered her face and burst into tears:
"How could this happen? How could this happen? This is such a damned world..."

After the Marquis's Mansion was attacked, the arrival of reinforcements took much longer than expected, simply because the level of chaos in the entire city was beyond imagination.

However, the Marquis' Mansion eventually began to show its profound heritage. It turned out that there was a real person who had been practicing in the mansion for a long time under an assumed name.

However, this real person seemed to have an agreement with the Marquis' Mansion. He simply used the Green Wood Growth Technique to directly transform the flowers and plants outside the study of the Marquis of Zhenbei into tree goblins, wood spirits, and mountain ghosts that jumped and climbed among them, and did not allow outsiders to break in.

Then he just let the killing go on outside while he sat inside with his eyes closed.

As long as someone can escape into the study area, then they can basically be safe.

This happened to Mrs. Wang's maid, who escaped into the study area but was shot to death on the spot. However, a mandrill chased her out and killed the person who shot the arrow.

The thirteenth son of the Marquis's Mansion was held in his mother's arms and finally rushed to a place half a step away from the study door, but was caught up and hacked to death. However, this immortal sat there, indifferent.

Mrs. Wang was even more anxious, and even begged the immortal to come out to clean up the mess, promising her enormous wealth. However, the immortal said nothing and turned a deaf ear to her words.

Finally, the elite troops of the Marquis' Mansion who had been away returned, but the invading group had already been notified and evacuated in time.

When the elite troops of the Marquis' Mansion rushed back, the enemy had already disappeared into the darkness for half a pack of cigarettes. If it were daytime, they would still have time to give chase, but it was two or three in the morning and the night provided perfect cover for them.

At this time, the Marquis' Mansion was filled with grief and sorrow, and people were rushing to put out the fire. The survivors were all working woodenly.

Next, the Marquis' Mansion began to count and report the losses. Looking at the mess left after the battle, Mrs. Wang was so sad that she wanted to cry but had no tears. She even wanted to die.

At this moment, she suddenly regretted supporting her eldest son to go to the grassland and take a gamble. If he had not taken away most of the remaining strength, the Marquis' Mansion would not have ended up in this state.
