Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 228 Annihilation of the Entire Family (Many thanks to Yong Su for being the Alliance Leader)

Luo Tianyi knew that she was very stupid.

I can't even recite the Analects, and I can't understand the principles Confucius taught. They always seem so profound. Let alone understanding their meaning, it's difficult to even memorize those words completely.

But my brother-in-law is different.

The eldest brother and second brother, who already held official positions, both said that their brother-in-law was very good at studying, and unlike those teachers who spoke in classical Chinese, his words were always easy to understand. Therefore, Luo Tianyi took what her brother-in-law said as truth. What her brother-in-law said must be right. If her brother-in-law said that to cut weeds, you must pull them out by the roots, then not a single root should be left.

Thinking this, Luo Tianyi lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her body floated to the side, where two of Fan Dabiao's sons were also there. Her cold gaze fell upon the two figures as if they were dead men.

Seeing that the mysterious woman had set her sights on her other two sons, Fan Dabiao turned pale and his chubby body trembled. He couldn't understand what the Fan family had done to offend this woman, that she could commit such a heinous crime against the Fan family.

"Fire arrows."

Fan Dabiao shouted sternly.

The guard, who had been gripping his longsword and preparing to charge, paled upon hearing this. He gritted his teeth and reached behind him with both hands. A series of military crossbows, already loaded with bolts, appeared in his grasp.

It's a military crossbow.

The imperial court doesn't care about swords and knives, but military crossbows are strictly controlled weapons. Each of the three hundred guards has one. Possessing so many weapons is treason, a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

At this moment, Fan Dabiao had no time to care about these things. With a command, the trigger was pulled, and accompanied by a piercing sound, three hundred crossbow bolts rained down on Luo Tianyi like a dense raindrop.

Just then, two more people died under Luo Tianyi's sword. The sound of the sword cutting through the air entered Luo Tianyi's ears, and a warning suddenly arose in her heart. Without the slightest hesitation, she flashed into the room.

Bang bang bang bang... Boom!

The dull sound even carried a violent roar. Suddenly, crossbow bolts appeared on the doors, windows, and even the walls, their tails vibrating and buzzing violently.

If this were to happen to Luo Tianyi, her slender body would immediately have several holes in it.

A brief silence fell over the courtyard, broken only by the unusually jarring sound of Fan Dabiao's rapid breathing.

At this moment, no one knew what was happening inside the bedroom. The scene had just unfolded too quickly; even these skilled guards couldn't determine whether Luo Tianyi had been hit by an arrow. Fan Da Biao gave a signal, and several guards, carrying military crossbows, cautiously approached the bedroom. Once there, they aimed the crossbows at the window, and another guard boldly pushed the window open.

The bedroom was empty.

Apart from a young master who died in his bed, there was no one else in sight. At the back wall, a huge gap had appeared in the red brick wall, and smoke and dust filled the air.

The guards' expressions changed drastically instantly, and they suddenly turned around: "Oh no, that person has already escaped."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tianyi's figure appeared silently from behind and disappeared into a large group of servants. Amidst the chaos, more than a dozen corpses lay scattered on the ground, each with a small wound on its neck. Finally, a palm struck a servant in the chest, and the figure was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing to the ground, bleeding profusely, clearly beyond saving.

By the time everyone looked over, the woman in white had already used the force of the recoil from her palm strike to float away silently and disappear into the night.

The winter wind was bleak and desolate.

"Kill him, kill him, kill him..."

A frantic, hysterical scream came from Fan Dabiao's mouth as he waved his arms wildly, looking like a madman.

However, this voice did not receive much response.

Three hundred guards were gradually gathering together, their eyes fixed on the direction where the woman in white had disappeared.

That woman was at least a ninth-rank martial artist. Many of these guards had experience in the martial world and were extremely powerful, including some experts trained by the Fan family themselves. Yet, even with such strength, they couldn't track down the woman's figure.

Some members of the Fan family were shouting orders to their servants to search for the woman in white.

But most of these servants were terrified.

In their eyes, the woman in white was a vengeful ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Besides, they were just servants, their monthly wages were less than those of maids, and their strength and status were inferior to those of guards. Sending them to search for the white-clad woman was no different from courting death. They only earned a few hundred copper coins a month; why risk their lives?

Coupled with the corpses lying scattered on the ground and the heavy stench of blood in the air, some of the servants were already considering retreating, wanting to get as far away from the Fan family as possible.

At the same time, Luo Tianyi's figure appeared silently behind a wall, his indifferent gaze secretly observing the people in the courtyard. With a light tap of his toes, he swiftly approached the guards from behind.

Some of the stronger guards seemed to sense something, but when they turned around, it was too late. All they saw was a dense barrage of sword light, and heads flying into the sky.

As the distance closed, the military crossbows were no longer suitable, and since Luo Tianyi had already charged into the crowd, crossbow bolts could easily cause friendly fire. Some of the guards then drew their scimitars.

The swords clashed, crisp and chaotic.

Many guards rushed over, but the next moment, one of them clutched his neck and staggered backward, while another was cut in two, his internal organs scattered all over the ground.

With his legs bent, he charged towards a couple on the left with a bang. The two seemed to be a married couple, one wielding a knife and the other a sword. Both were seventh-rank martial artists, among the top experts in the guards. Perhaps relying on their numbers, they showed no fear even when facing a ninth-rank martial artist, and charged forward with a knife and a sword.

Click.

The swords and blades broke in mid-air.

Luo Tianyi's lips curled into a slight smile. The weapon in her hand was specially forged by her brother-in-law using the finest steel, far superior to ordinary iron weapons.

Hand trembled.

The sword tip touched the woman's brow. A bloody hole appeared; her skull had been pierced.

"You wretch, how dare you!" Seeing his wife die, the man roared angrily, his voice echoing throughout the Fan family compound. With that roar, he lunged forward.

Luo Tianyi's feet barely paused. At this moment, she was completely surrounded, and any slight pause could result in several swords falling on her.

He stepped forward, his longsword blocking the sneak attacking spear from the side. With his free left hand raised, he slashed the man's neck with a cracking sound, and the man spat out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately, his palm slid down and landed on the man's chest.

With a bang, the man's body flew more than ten meters away, his chest caved in, clearly dead.

The internal energy of hundreds of martial artists mingled together, becoming extremely chaotic. Even the snow on the ground was swept into the air, and in an instant, the world was a vast expanse of white.

The sounds of clashing weapons, gushing blood, angry roars, and agonizing screams...

Luo Tianyi had no idea how long the battle had lasted. She seemed to have become a tireless machine, mechanically swinging her sword, swinging her sword, swinging her sword. More and more corpses lay on the ground, and her snow-white dress had been stained crimson at some point.

The sounds of clashing weapons began to fade.

After some time, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

The once bustling and noisy Fan family home was now filled with only heavy breathing.

A blood-red figure knelt on one knee, a sword embedded in the ground, his hands gripping the hilt, supporting his exhausted body.

Even her long hair was dyed red, as if it had just been soaked in a pool of blood.

Thick blood slowly dripped down her cheeks and the hem of her clothes.

so tired.

Even with Luo Tianyi's strength, he felt that his internal energy and strength were almost completely exhausted at this moment.

Looking around, all that remained in the backyard were piles of corpses.

Luo Tianyi knew that many of the guards had fled, probably because they were frightened by her fierce and terrifying appearance and were unwilling to risk their lives for the Fan family.

Otherwise, she might not have survived.

Even though a ninth-rank martial artist is powerful, there are still limits.

If he could become a grandmaster, he probably wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

"Why..."

Suddenly, a faint voice reached Luo Tianyi's ears.

Looking up, one could see a portly old man clutching his chest, blood gushing out.

It was Fan Dabiao, who probably wouldn't live much longer, but the anger he held in his heart kept the old man going until now.

This woman is not an assassin.

The killer wouldn't be that crazy.

"Why did you exterminate my entire family?" Fan Dabiao asked again in a hoarse voice, a gurgling sound as a clump of black blood gushed from his mouth.

He cherished having many children and grandchildren, and he was very particular about his actions, rarely offending others. He simply couldn't understand why he had provoked this woman.

He didn't even know this woman, let alone what grudge or resentment existed between them.

Luo Tianyi stood up, drew her sword from the ground, and stared at the old man. As the old man was about to die, she showed him her final mercy: "Your grandson, Fan Jiu'en... wants to kill my brother-in-law."

Fan Jiu'en?
Oh, you wretched child! Oh, you wretched child!

A bitter smile appeared on Fan Dabiao's face. That was his most beloved, youngest grandson. Who could have imagined that this most favored grandson would bring such a disaster to the family?

puff.

The long sword pierced Fan Dabiao's throat.

Thus, this branch of the Fan family was wiped out.

……

A large number of maids, servants, and even some guards fled out of the Fan family compound.

Upon entering, they found a row of soldiers clad in chainmail who had already sealed off the area.

longbow.

Sharp arrow.

Military formation!
