Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 225 You guys also want to harm my brother-in-law? (1)

A painful sound came from outside the window.

Luo Tianyi quietly walked to the window, pushed it open, and saw a man outside.

His dark eyes held an icy indifference: "You, you also want to harm my brother-in-law?"

"Uh!"

The man outside the window stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth but couldn't utter a sound. He clutched his throat with both hands, struggling to breathe, but all his efforts were in vain. Blood seeped from between his hands, and a few breaths later, his body fell straight to the ground with a dull thud.

The sword light was as fast as lightning, and it sealed the throat with a single strike.

Amidst the swirling snow, Luo Tianyi stood silently on the ground, motionless, only a single drop of crimson blood slowly dripping from the long sword in her hand. Until the man's corpse fell onto the snow, blood gushing from his throat, staining the white ground a deep crimson.

Perhaps because the weather was too cold, it didn't take long for the man's throat to stop bleeding. His eyes were wide open, and he died without ever understanding how Luo Tianyi had discovered him.

He was, after all, an eighth-rank martial artist.

Looking across the entire Ning Kingdom, they are among the top experts.

He is especially skilled in lightness techniques, and can be described as walking on snow without leaving a trace.

He thought it would be easy to drug the person in the room in the dead of night, but who would have thought that the woman in the room would turn into a vengeful ghost in the blink of an eye.

Luo Tianyi gently raised her head and looked towards a place not far away. On the roof of the back house of the county government, there were also two figures standing.

"Third brother..."

Seeing their brothers, with whom they had spent every day, die tragically under Luo Tianyi's sword, they didn't even have time to stop him; their faces were filled with extreme grief and indignation.

Of the remaining two, one is a ninth-rank martial artist and the other is an eighth-rank martial artist.

They were all acquaintances; Luo Tianyi knew them.

It was on the day Song Yan was kidnapped that the expert who entangled Luo Tianyi and the others was.

Perhaps their initial goal wasn't to entangle Luo Tianyi, but rather to swagger into Xinhou County and attempt to kill Song Yan directly.

As for that fourth-rank martial artist, he was really just a coachman.

They simply hadn't expected that Song Yan would have a master like Luo Tianyi by his side, as well as sixth and seventh-rank martial artists like Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Bu Yu, and even a reckless man like Luo Tianyang. That's why they were forced to get entangled and had no choice but to entrust the assassination mission to the fourth-rank martial artist's groom.

However, a groom is ultimately just a groom.

My third brother's lightness skill was unparalleled. I thought that with his lightness skill and the sleeping potion, I could easily succeed. Who would have thought that even my third brother would die?

Luo Tianyi's figure silently floated out of the window, her long sword pointing straight into the air:

"You also want to kill my brother-in-law?"

"If it weren't for you..."

"If it weren't for you..."

Luo Tianyi's voice contained suppressed anger and hatred. She was no match for a grandmaster martial artist, but if she hadn't been entangled by these people that day, she might have been able to give her brother-in-law a chance to escape.

Just then, the ninth-rank martial artist let out a deep roar, suddenly drew his long sword from his waist, took a few steps, and as if flying through the air, slashed down at Luo Tianyi.

This move was a full-force, sweeping attack.

Even the air itself made a sound like tearing silk.

Over the past thirty years, he has lost count of how many people have been cleaved in two by this great sword.

"Die to me."

The roar was like thunder.

The long sword appeared above Luo Tianyi's head in an instant.

The night wind rustled by.

Before the blade arrives, the spirit precedes it.

In the darkness, the branches of the trees in the back courtyard trembled slightly, and the snow on the ground instantly parted to both sides, being swept into the storm and dancing wildly.

Luo Tianyi finally raised his right hand, his long sword held horizontally in the air.

Ding!
The sound of metal clashing was extremely piercing.

It was as if one could see the sound waves spreading through the air.

Despite her slender figure, Luo Tianyi managed to block the powerful blow. The blade energy fell along both sides of Luo Tianyi's body, and with a loud bang, two cracks appeared in the ground.

Even the snowflakes that were flying all over the sky were shredded into pieces.

laugh.

Just then, another sharp sound rang out, and a longsword slashed along the blade, its target the man's fingers holding the knife.

The man's expression changed slightly. Although he was in mid-air, he retreated in mid-air, narrowly avoiding Luo Tianyi's attack. Before he could even stand firmly on the ground, he shifted his feet and unleashed another sweeping attack, his blade slicing towards Luo Tianyi's abdomen.

storm.

Snowflakes. A long knife.

A sharp sword.

This is a confrontation between two ninth-rank martial artists.

Clang clang clang clang.

The sound of metal exploding was continuous.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves.

The martial artist was tall and his attack methods were simple, but his destructive power was extremely terrifying. Occasionally, if a move was dodged, he would fall heavily onto the artificial mountain, and the poor, heavy artificial mountain would be reduced to fragments in an instant.

Even those ancient trees, whose age is unknown, were simply cut in half as easily as cutting tofu.

It seems that Luo Tianyi has been completely suppressed.

"Mother-in-law, aren't you going to help?" In the bedroom of the inner courtyard, Gao Yang frowned, looking at the battle in front of her with some worry in her eyes.

The old woman, who had appeared once before, appeared again behind Princess Gaoyang.

Occasionally, he would raise his cane and point it out the window.

With a bang, the blade energy flying towards them shattered instantly.

With just this one move, he demonstrated a remarkably high level of cultivation; his strength was certainly no less than that of Luo Tianyi or that mysterious ninth-rank martial artist.

“Mountain-splitting knife, Yang Lie…” the old woman spoke slowly, clearly having recognized the man’s identity through his moves.

"The Yang family?"

The old woman shook her head: "The Yang in Yang Lie's name is not the same as the Yang in the Yang family."

"This is a master who has been famous for many years. In his early years, he roamed the martial arts world. Because of his superb skill in wielding a heavy knife, no one could stop him, so he earned the nickname 'Mountain-Splitting Knife'."

"As for the other two, they should be Yang Xiong and Yang Fei."

"I heard that he suffered hardship in his childhood, which is why he has a morbid obsession with money. He only cares about money and not people. Because of his many evil deeds, he was later knocked off a cliff by a virtuous monk from Shaolin. I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him to still be alive. He even raised his cultivation level to the ninth rank. Could it be that he had some kind of extraordinary encounter?" The old woman's eyes were filled with envy.

Breaking through from the eighth rank to the ninth rank is a significant hurdle.

Breaking through from the ninth rank to the grandmaster is also a hurdle.

To pass the level, strength, talent, and opportunity are all indispensable.

She has been immersed in the ninth-grade realm for over thirty years, yet she has never been able to seize the opportunity to break through to the grandmaster level.

This is probably the only way I can go in my life.

"Grandma Gui, aren't you going up to help? My cousin looks like she can't hold on much longer," Princess Gaoyang said anxiously.

Song Yan has already disappeared, so my cousin absolutely cannot be allowed to get hurt too.

"Don't worry, that girl is very strong." Granny Gui sighed, with a hint of envy in her eyes: "Didn't you notice that although that machete was powerful, it never managed to cause the slightest harm to the girl? On the contrary, the occasional counterattack from that girl made Yang Lie very flustered."

"Compared to all that, I'm more curious about who could possibly get Yang Lie to commit murder."

Just then, it seemed that seeing that his elder brother could not defeat Luo Tianyi for a long time, and noticing that the martial artists who had been entangled with him had not appeared, he could not care about that now, even though it was very dangerous to rashly intervene in the conflict between the ninth-rank martial artists.

With a determined effort, he leaped down from mid-air.

With his hands outstretched, all his fingers were covered with metal finger sleeves.

The finger cots have sharp ends, resembling eagle claws.

With a hiss, it flashed behind Luo Tianyi, its sharp claws reaching for Luo Tianyi's head.

Look at that speed, look at that force, and look at those sharp claws. Once they land, there will probably be several bloody holes in its head immediately.

"Mother-in-law..."

"It's alright, just watch over her." Granny Gui shook her head again. Her task was to protect Gao Yang. She didn't like to get involved in other situations. After all, she was getting old, and if she fell and hurt her old arms and legs, she would probably have to rest for many years. "That girl doesn't need help."

"She has a lot of pent-up feelings inside, so this is a good opportunity for her to vent them."

Just as Granny Gui was speaking, Yang Lie swung his machete down again.

The longsword blocked the machete as before, but this time the situation was slightly different.

Just as he blocked the machete, Luo Tianyi's wrist suddenly twitched nimbly, and in a daze, the tip of the sword seemed to draw a perfect circle. Then Yang Lie was surprised to find that the weapon in his hand seemed to be drawn by some special force, and for a moment it was out of his control, and it stabbed straight towards Luo Tianyi's chest.

In that instant, Luo Tianyi shifted his feet and moved aside to give way.

The machete then stabbed towards Luo Tianyi's back.

puff.

A dull, muffled sound of a knife cutting into flesh.
