Song Gang's words were cold and heartless.
Song Panyang stood there dumbfounded, looking at his father in disbelief.
"What... what did you say? I'm... I'm a bastard?"
Song Panyang couldn't believe it.
Song Gang didn't even bother to look at him, the disgust in his eyes so obvious: "The only reason this City Lord kept you, a bastard, was to keep the peace. All these years, this City Lord has let you taste all the wealth and honor."
"This City Lord has treated you well enough. Today... if these people hadn't insisted on coming to their deaths, this City Lord wouldn't have wanted to kill you directly. As for you, although you're brainless and stupid, you're still an obedient dog. Keeping you in the manor to do my bidding, this City Lord is quite at ease."
But... you good-for-nothing, you can only do those few things. Keeping you is useless.
With that, Song Gang commanded the dozen or so guards around him: "Kill everyone here, including that useless Song Panyang!"
At the command.
The guards who obeyed Song Gang immediately charged forward with their swords.
Amidst the glint of blades.
Baili Jingxuan protected Baili Su while grabbing Song Panyang by the collar, his sword slashing horizontally.
Three guards fell simultaneously, blood gushing from their necks and abdomens, each killed with a single strike.
"Brother, I'll cover you, you go quickly!"
Song Panyang, still in the midst of his grief, was kicked flying by Baili Jingxuan.
His back hit a rock, causing sweat to break out on his forehead from the pain.
He lay on the ground motionless, his expression dazed.
The several guards who had surrounded him saw their second young master, Song Panyang, lying on the ground, unmoving.
These people all thought their second young master had gone mad.
Baili Jingxuan, protecting Baili Su, tried to break out of the Song manor.
However, the number of guards with swords surrounding them was too great. He couldn't cope, so he could only let his brother go first.
"No, I can't leave you. Jingxuan, brother was wrong. I thought Song Gang would hand over Divine Doctor Gu out of consideration for Song Panyang, his son, but I didn't expect... it was brother who dragged you down."
Baili Su picked up a sword from the ground, imitating Baili Jingxuan's grip, and said, "Brother, you go quickly, I'll cover you."
Baili Su held the sword and imitated Baili Jingxuan, hacking away. Well, he had never succeeded in killing anyone.
Just like now, he swung the sword several times but couldn't even wound anyone.
But Baili Su only wanted his brother, Baili Jingxuan, to escape first.
Baili Jingxuan's eyes welled up.
He had always thought his brother, Baili Su, was useless at home, constantly relying on medicinal soup to survive, a typical pampered young master.
No matter what he did, Baili Su would always advise him to endure it, to take a step back for a broader view.
But he felt that whether it was in life or in deeds, one could always back down.
And all along, Baili Su had left him with such a bad impression.
But now, seeing his brother, who clearly knew no martial arts, yet tried his best and was constantly concerned for him.
Baili Jingxuan's eyes turned red.
"Die!"
Among the guards who rushed forward, one of them, with a large saber, knocked the sword from Baili Su's hand.
As the sword fell.
The guard, holding his saber, fiercely thrust it towards Baili Su's chest.
"Brother, be careful!"
Baili Jingxuan's gaze turned cold. At the critical moment, he grabbed Baili Su by the collar of his back and yanked him backward.
The attacking saber landed beside Baili Su.
Baili Jingxuan kicked out.
The saber in the guard's hand slowly fell to the ground.
"Sss..."
Baili Jingxuan pulled Baili Su behind him, gripped his long sword, and fought with the surrounding guards.
Outnumbered.
Unsuspectingly, Baili Jingxuan was cut by a guard who attacked from behind.
His arm bled, his sword fell, but he picked it up again.
"Puff!"
A guard who attacked him from behind plunged a saber into his heart.
"Jingxuan!"
Baili Su was shocked.
He picked up a saber from the ground, belonging to someone unknown, and used it to kill the guard who had attacked Baili Jingxuan.
As the man fell.
Baili Jingxuan's body began to sway precariously.
A large patch of blood spread from his chest.
As Baili Jingxuan was about to fall, Baili Su stepped forward and caught him.
He fell into Baili Su's arms.
Blood stained his back.
"Brother! Jingxuan! Brother!"
Baili Su touched his blood-stained hands, looking at the pale-faced Baili Jingxuan, his eyes reddening.
Baili Jingxuan had fallen.
And at this moment, the several guards who had surrounded them, holding long sabers, without Song Gang's command.
No one would stop the killing.
As one of them swung his saber towards Baili Su's head.
Suddenly, the wind picked up, and a powerful force erupted from not far away.
The moment the saber tip touched Baili Su, the guard holding it was sent flying by a powerful force.
The saber fell, and he was smashed against a tree, instantly losing his life.
Sitting on the ground, holding the severely injured Baili Su, he still didn't know what had happened.
But this made Song Gang, who was standing there, change his expression.
He looked at the beautiful woman in red standing before him.
His words, due to her sudden appearance, were somewhat hesitant: "Gu... Miss Gu... you...?"
As Song Gang uttered these words, Baili Su looked up and finally noticed the woman standing before him.
"Divine Doctor Gu?"
Gu Qianying stood before Baili Su.
Her clear eyes moved from Baili Jingxuan, who lay in his arms, to Baili Su's face.
Baili Su's hands were still stained with blood.
His face was also smeared with blood at some point.
"Are you alright?"
This was the first question Gu Qianying asked Baili Su.
This meeting made Baili Su suddenly feel that the person before him seemed to have changed.
"I... I'm fine, but Jingxuan, he..."
Baili Su's voice carried a rare tension.
He was very worried about Baili Jingxuan.
And Baili Jingxuan's injuries were indeed very serious at this moment.
The blood had soaked through the robes he was wearing.
His face was devoid of color.
The saber that had stabbed him lay at his feet.
There was a lot of blood on the saber's tip.
Seeing this, Gu Qianying walked forward and squatted in front of Baili Su.
Her slender fingers landed on Baili Jingxuan's wound.
"The heart meridian is injured, the heart meridian is damaged, the injury is very serious and requires immediate attention."
She took out a pill from the medicine bag she carried and handed it to Baili Su.
"Give this medicine to him."
As she spoke, Gu Qianying used acupoint-pressing techniques to stop Baili Jingxuan's bleeding.
After taking the pill, Baili Jingxuan's complexion eased slightly.
He looked up at Gu Qianying, wanting to express his gratitude.
Gu Qianying, however, stood up at this moment, facing Song Gang, her voice clear and cold: "City Lord Song, are you going to start a massacre in your manor today?"
