Chapter 53: Fighting Back
"Strict steward!"
Zhao Wan'er saw that Steward Yan, who had been working hard in the Zhao Mansion for decades, died in front of her eyes, and she burst into tears for a moment, and shouted in a heart-rending voice.
And Xiao Ling on the side was also surprised by Steward Yan's loyal behavior, and he was also moved by Steward Yan's loyalty, but he knew that this was not the time for children to grow up, in order not to let Steward Yan sacrifice in vain, Xiao Ling couldn't help but break up, forcibly pulled Zhao Wan'er, who was about to step forward, and walked around the back of the kitchen.
"What are you doing, let me go, I'm going to save Steward Yan!" Zhao Wan'er turned back to Xiao Ling and scolded angrily.
Xiao Ling knew that Zhao Wan'er was very emotional, and she didn't have time to reason with her, so she had to raise her voice and said indifferently: "Shut up, if you don't want Steward Yan to die, just follow me." ”
"You ......" Zhao Wan'er had been scolded so face-to-face, especially Xiao Ling's identity was nominally a subordinate of her Zhao Mansion, and she was speechless for a while.
When Xiao Ling saw Zhao Wan'er shut up, she didn't pay attention to it, and hurriedly took her away.
At this time, the screams of other subordinates continued to sound outside, and Xiao Ling felt very uncomfortable listening to it.
These people usually say that they have a good and bad relationship with him, but when they think of a group of people who talked and laughed before, they became the souls of others in a blink of an eye, Xiao Ling's body couldn't help but tremble, and an inexplicable anger continued to ignite, those are all fresh lives!
More than two dozen screams rang out one after another, and soon they were calm again.
Xiao Ling knew that those guards who killed people without blinking were afraid that they would soon catch up.
was very anxious in his heart, but the more he was at this juncture, the calmer Xiao Ling's thoughts became.
It's been a while since I came to Zhao's Mansion, and Xiao Ling is also familiar with this kitchen.
In the blink of an eye, the two came to the backyard of the kitchen, but before Xiao Ling stepped out of the creaky door, a slight strong wind whistled behind him.
Xiao Ling's heart was alarmed, and Ling Xiao reminded him urgently, and suddenly, Xiao Ling rushed to Zhao Wan'er on the side, and the two rolled into a ball.
At this moment, in the dark night, a cold light flew from behind Xiao Ling, and a one-inch-wide crack suddenly cracked on the position where Xiao Ling was standing.
Xiao Ling was not hit by this cold light, but a cold sweat couldn't help but rise behind her back.
If it weren't for Ling Xiao's timely reminder just now, I'm afraid that it would not be the ground but his body that would be cracked now.
It turned out that when Xiao Ling and Zhao Wan'er were about to leave from the back door of the kitchen, the guard commander who had been hugged by Steward Yan had already taken the lead in chasing them.
At this moment, seeing that Xiao Ling actually avoided his sword, his originally stagnant eyes also revealed a strange color.
However, this did not affect his movements, and with a slight wave of the saber in his hand, he changed his trajectory and stabbed towards the two of them again.
As soon as Xiao Ling turned around, he saw a cold light dazzling, and instinctively wanted to raise his hand to resist, but at this time, Ling Xiao shouted urgently: "Be careful!"
Xiao Ling was vigilant, knowing that Ling Xiao would not harm him, so Xiao Ling rolled over with Zhao Wan'er, which was able to avoid the sword light.
The commander of the guard was also annoyed when he saw that this little subordinate had dodged his attacks twice.
And at this moment, Xiao Ling, who fell to the ground, suddenly jumped up from the ground with the momentum of thunder, and punched the wrist of the guard.
Xiao Ling's sudden outburst was obviously also greatly unexpected by the guard commander, and he wanted to turn around and draw his sword in a hurry.
However, Xiao Ling struck first, and the fist infused with all his strength smashed impartially into the joint of the guard commander's wrist.
It stands to reason that Xiao Ling can't use Xuan Qi at the moment, although his strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, he is afraid that he will not be able to cause damage to a Yin Xuan Xiu's guard leader.
However, from his violent attack just now to the series of actions that hit the guard commander, they were all guided by Ling Xiao, and the actions were completed in one go, and the position he hit was also the weakness of the guard leader.
Suddenly, the guard commander felt a tingling pain in his wrist, and the palm holding the sword uncontrollably released.
Xiao Ling saw the opportunity, and under Ling Xiao's guidance, he snatched the sword from the enemy's hand, without any pause, and stabbed the long sword with his backhand at the guard commander.
The commander of the guards had experienced a hundred battles, and although he was preemptively overtaken by Xiao Ling, it was not so easy to deal with.
The footsteps kicked back sharply, and he pulled away from Xiao Ling, dodging Xiao Ling's sword.
But after a while, the commander of the guards was in a cold sweat, but he didn't expect that his carelessness would suffer at the hands of a subordinate who didn't understand Xuanqi.
The anger and shame in his heart instantly filled his brain.
Without saying a word, with a low shout, the whole person was like a goshawk pounceing on a rabbit, rushing towards Xiao Ling like lightning.
Xiao Ling saw that the guard commander was approaching, and his heart froze, and he didn't know what to do.
"Leaning to the right, the long sword stabs him in the face!" Ling Xiao's low shout instantly sounded.
Xiao Ling knew that if she couldn't solve this guard leader, her and Zhao Wan'er's surnames would be difficult to protect, and she was calm and strict for a while.
Almost as soon as Ling Xiao's words sounded, Xiao Ling's body moved.
The left foot bent back, the upper body quickly deviated slightly like the right, and the right hand holding the sword stabbed forward with all his strength.
The guard commander who was full of annoyance suddenly saw Xiao Ling's hand, and his heart was shocked.
But he never thought that a small subordinate would block all his offensive routes as soon as he made a move.
If it weren't for Xiao Ling's lack of Xuanqi, I was afraid that this sword would even seal all his retreats.
Shocked in his heart, the commander of the guards instantly put away his contempt, and shouted violently, his body did not retreat but advanced, and his rather burly figure turned around in mid-air with a strange turn, directly avoiding Xiao Ling's long sword, spreading his hands in front of him, turning his palm into a fist, and a fierce energy instantly swept towards Xiao Ling's face.
At this time, although Xiao Ling was frightened in his heart, his face remained calm, and when the energy rushed straight in, his knees were bent, his head was raised back, and the sword in his hand turned from offensive to defensive, just blocking the position of the guard commander's punch.
"Bang!"
A burst of power came, Xiao Ling only felt that his arm was numb for a while, and the long sword in his hand almost fell off.
Fortunately, his strong desire for business made him firmly grasp the hilt of his sword, but his body was also shocked back several steps by the power of the escort commander, and he almost stumbled to the ground.
The commander of the guard struck a blow, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. Obviously, in his mind, no matter how exquisite Xiao Ling's moves were, how could an ordinary person be worthy of the battle-hardened guard commander.
Just as he relied on his cultivation to far surpass Xiao Ling and pursued after the victory, preparing to understand Xiao Ling with one move, he didn't notice that a trace of perseverance flashed in the latter's eyes.
"Poof!"
The Guardian Commander's face froze, and he looked down at his chest in disbelief, a look of unconfidence erupted in his eyes.
Until he died, he never understood, obviously he had the absolute upper hand, and the other party had no backhand power at all, but why he was stabbed in the heart by this little subordinate's sword.
Even, he didn't see where Xiao Ling's sword came from.
Xiao Ling kicked the corpse of the guard leader away, and a stream of blood slowly dripped down the sword.
In fact, everything he did just now was completely in accordance with Ling Xiao's instructions, and even he didn't understand why he did it.
It's just that he believed that Ling Xiao wouldn't watch him die, so he did as he was told.
What kind of character Ling Xiao is, although he can't make a move to defend against the enemy, but the vision of the Tianxuan powerhouse still exists, and the series of actions that guided Xiao Ling before were the strategies he formulated according to Xiao Ling's physical condition.
He naturally knew that although the guard was just a small silver martial artist, if he fought head-on, Xiao Ling would definitely not be his opponent, so he first showed the enemy weakness, and finally took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guard commander and revealed his flaws, so that Xiao Ling could sacrifice a killing move, and the other party was killed with a sword.
And this is extremely risky, the most important thing is that if Xiao Ling reacts slowly, or is afraid of the other party's strength and hesitates in his heart, then it will be Xiao Ling who will die.
Fortunately, Xiao Ling did not disappoint him, and he was able to successfully kill the guard leader.
Panting heavily, Xiao Ling's face turned pale.
Looking at the corpse without any sound in front of him, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a little sluggish.
In his previous life, he was just a chef in a high-end hotel, and he used to slaughter many chickens and ducks with his own hands, but this was the first time in his life that he killed people.
Seeing a person who was still alive before, and died under his sword in a blink of an eye, Xiao Ling suddenly felt a tumbling gastric juice.
"I'm stunned, but I'm just leaving, I can already feel someone approaching this way. Ling Xiao shouted softly.
When Xiao Ling heard this, she suddenly woke up, forcibly pressed the tumbling gastric juice in her stomach, and pulled Zhao Wan'er to leave quickly.
It's just that he didn't run a few steps, but there was an angry shout behind him: "Stop!"
Apparently, there was another guard behind him.
When he came to the kitchen yard, he found that his companion had died, and he was so frightened and horrified that he could not care about anything else, so he hurriedly took up his sword and chased after him.
The cultivation of these guards is in the Silver Xuan Realm with each other, and their speed can not be compared to Xiao Ling and Zhao Wan'er.
It was only a few breaths of time, and the guard was already close to Xiao Ling's back.
Xiao Ling and Zhao Wan'er heard the murderous shouts behind them, and their faces became extremely ugly.
"I can't run away, turn around to meet the enemy!" Ling Xiao's voice sounded again.
After that moment just now, Xiao Ling believed in Ling Xiao 100% at the moment.
There was hardly any stagnation, Xiao Ling paused, turned around and raised his sword in front of him.
At the same time, the guard's long sword had already come and stabbed over, just intertwined with Xiao Ling's sword body, making a piercing crashing sound.
It's just that the guard shot out angrily at the speed of galloping, how could Xiao Ling resist, the moment the swords collided, Xiao Ling and his sword were completely knocked away, and it happened to hit Zhao Wan'er behind him.
