Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

The firelight illuminated the entire front courtyard of Dingbei Prefecture in a blinding red.

It also illuminated Chen Wanjin's twisted and ferocious face.

But when he saw that there was only Qin Ruxue and a mere thirty people behind her in the courtyard, he was shocked.

First stunned.

He then burst into extremely arrogant laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"I thought there was some kind of ambush, but after all this time, it's just this few people?"

Chen Wanjin's laughter was sharp, full of contempt and disdain.

It seems my judgment was completely correct!

That brat Lin Mo really did send out all his capable subordinates!

Now, the old lair is left with only one woman and a few dozen guards.

This is nowhere near Dingbei Prefecture.

It's clearly an undefended bathhouse!

More than 300 members of the Black Tiger Gang flooded in like a tidal wave, taking over most of the front yard.

The gleaming steel blade reflected a chilling light in the firelight.

Compared to this sea of ​​dark people,

Qin Ruxue and the thirty guards behind her were like a small reef in a stormy sea, which could be crushed at any moment.

Qin Ruxue's expression was somewhat solemn, but she showed no fear whatsoever.

She was still dressed in a smart red outfit today, with her long hair tied up high, exuding a striking and heroic aura.

Surrounded by more than 300 people, she raised her long sword, the tip pointing directly at Chen Wanjin.

"Brothers!"

A clear, cold voice rang out, reaching everyone's ears.

"This battle will be a bloody one!"

"Those who are afraid of death, drop your weapons now and kneel down to surrender!"

"Those who aren't afraid to die, heed my command!"

"yes!"

The thirty elite soldiers shouted in unison.

They stared intently at the surging enemy, not one of them lowering their weapons.

Not a single person wavered in the slightest.

Their eyes were like steel that had been tempered in fire.

These thirty people were not ordinary guards.

They were all comrades who had followed Qin Ruxue's father, the Tiger General, and crawled out of piles of corpses back then.

They had seen a real sea of ​​blood.

Their lives were given to them by the old general.

Now that the old general is gone, they will use their lives to protect his daughter.

Qin Ruxue is not a high and mighty master, but the young general in their hearts.

Fighting for the Qin family and dying for the Lin family is their glory!

One of the guards suddenly raised his hand and slammed the hilt of his knife into his chest.

"Thump."

A deep, resounding sound.

With a hoarse voice, he roared out the slogans he had practiced day and night in the border military camp back then.

"The Qin Family Army!"

Everyone, including Qin Ruxue, subconsciously straightened their backs.

"We swear we will never surrender!"

The roar of thirty people was as powerful as that of three hundred, shaking the surrounding area.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!!"

"Fight to the death!!!"

The three words, like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami, crashed into the ears of all the Black Tiger Gang members, causing them to pause in their forward momentum.

Chen Wanjin was also momentarily stunned by the overwhelming murderous aura.

But he quickly regained his composure, and an even stronger sense of sarcasm and cruelty appeared on his face.

"The Qin Family Army?"

"Swearing to never surrender?"

Chen Wanjin's voice pierced the night sky as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Just the lamentations of a group of dying people!"

"Charge! Finish this quickly!"

"kill--!"

Three hundred members of the Black Tiger Gang, like a floodgate opened, roared and brandished their steel knives as they rushed toward the small "reef" in the courtyard.

Facing an enemy ten times its size, Qin Ruxue remained completely calm.

Her eyes were as cold as ice.

The commands uttered were clear and concise.

"Form ranks!"

"First!"

At a command, the thirty guards moved in perfect unison, as if they had practiced it a thousand times.

The ten men on the outermost edge slammed their iron shields into the ground with a loud thud.

The shields fit together perfectly, instantly forming an impenetrable circular iron wall.

In the next instant, ten spears gleaming with cold light suddenly thrust out from the gaps in the shields, aiming straight for the enemy's throat.

At the heart of the formation stood Qin Ruxue and ten other elite warriors wielding broadswords.

Their eyes were sharp, like tigers poised to pounce, ready to kill any enemy who managed to break through the defenses.

Pfft! Pfft!

The dozen or so Black Tiger gang members at the forefront didn't even have time to react.

They only saw an iron wall rise up in front of them, and then the cold tip of a gun pierced their necks and chests.

Warm blood splattered onto the cold iron shield like a fountain.

The first wave of attack left more than a dozen corpses before they even touched the edge of the shields.

The gang members behind them tripped over the corpses, and their momentum was abruptly halted.

Chen Wanjin's pupils suddenly contracted.

wrong.

"A bunch of useless trash! Break through their shields!"

One of the leaders roared and charged forward with his knife.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Countless steel blades struck the iron shield, sparks flying everywhere.

The sound of metal clashing was deafening.

The guards behind the shield were so shaken by the enormous impact that their arms went numb and blood seeped from their tiger's mouth.

But their feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and not one of them retreated an inch.

"change!"

Qin Ruxue issued her second order!

The entire circular shield array, like a giant gear, began to slowly rotate counterclockwise.

The shield bearers on the perimeter absorbed most of the impact as they moved, while the spears thrusting out from the gaps in the shields relentlessly reaped the lives of the enemy.

Just as a member of the Black Tiger Gang was about to raise his sword with both hands and cleave Mount Hua in two, he was violently knocked away by a shield that suddenly turned around from the side.

As soon as he landed, three spears pierced through his body from different angles.

This is no longer a battle.

This is a massacre.

A highly efficient and ruthless meat grinder comprised of thirty people.

No matter which direction the Black Tiger Gang attacks from, they will always face an impenetrable wall of iron and precise, deadly spear tips.

The advantage in numbers was diminished to the extreme in the face of this small formation.

Qin Ruxue stood at the center of the formation, her clear eyes sparkling with shock and ecstasy.

This is the complete version of the "Ten Directions Annihilation Formation" that Lin Mo gave her!

After obtaining the formation diagram, she studied it day and night, and practiced it repeatedly with thirty trusted confidants.

She knew the formation was ingenious, but she never expected its power in actual combat to be so terrifying!

That guy...

How many secrets is he still hiding?

The excitement fueled the guards' morale to its peak.

They roared, displaying the skills they had practiced in their daily training to the fullest.

Every shield bash, every thrust, was precise and deadly.

The corpses in the yard had already piled up into a thin layer.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of rust stimulated everyone's nerves.

"Boss! This formation is too sinister!"

"Brothers, we can't get in! This thing's like a porcupine!"

The wails of his men turned Chen Wanjin's face ashen.

His small eyes were fixed on the constantly rotating array that devoured lives, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

He finally realized he was wrong.

Big mistake!

This is not a group of defeated soldiers.

This is a well-trained army!

In the short span of half an incense stick's time, nearly a third of the men he brought had been lost.

Apart from a few shield-bearers who seemed unsteady on their feet, not a single one of the opposing side fell!

If this drags on, his three hundred men will probably be worn down to death here.

"Return it!!"

Chen Wanjin let out a hysterical roar, interrupting his men's pointless attack.

The shrewd smile on his face had long since vanished.

Instead, there was a furious outburst following extreme humiliation.

"Ignore them!!"

Chen Wanjin stretched out a trembling finger and pointed to the moon gate leading to the backyard.

His voice was filled with venom, each word sounding as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Go around them! Charge into the backyard!"

"Kill everyone inside, regardless of age or gender!"

"I will use the blood of the entire Lin family to break her formation!"
