"Ah!"
Gazing at the gleaming treasure blade, Liu Qing closed her eyes and cried out loudly. She never imagined that Er Zhu had been telling the truth!
If only she had believed Er Zhu earlier, she wouldn't have returned home alone and wouldn't have died here!
Her life was over!
"Ayah!"
Just as Liu Qing thought she was doomed, she suddenly heard a wail. She opened her eyes, and the scene before her filled her with immense gratitude.
Er Zhu, seemingly out of nowhere, was standing in front of her, his hand tightly gripping the golden armored guard's wrist. The guard's face had turned pale with pain!
"Brother Er Zhu, thank you!"
Liu Qing's eyes glowed with excitement as she thanked him profusely. Er Zhu, however, said nothing, only waving his hand, signaling her to leave.
Liu Qing quickly ran inside, peeking through the crack in the door, her gaze fixed worriedly on the situation outside.
At this moment, Er Zhu was still firmly gripping the golden armored guard's wrist, and the guard was trembling with pain!
Swoosh...
Bang!
Boom!
But just then, the other golden armored guards reacted. With fists, palms, or their treasure blades, they charged at Er Zhu at near-supersonic speeds!
And Er Zhu, still standing calmly in place, looked at the attacking guards as if they were mere ants.
He admitted that these golden armored guards were strong, but that was only for ordinary bodyguards. For him, they were still no match!
With a sudden forceful grip, Er Zhu snapped the golden armored guard's wrist, then quickly snatched the treasure blade from his hand. As the guards behind him prepared to attack, Er Zhu turned his head, and the cold tip of the blade was already at one guard's throat!
The entire movement was incredibly fast. Before the guard could react, he already felt the chill against his neck!
Instantly, the scene fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that even breathing could be heard!
Liu Qing's wide eyes, filled with shock, held a flicker of admiration. Her cousin had mentioned Er Zhu's exceptional skills, but she never expected him to be this good!
Such prowess, she had only seen in old martial arts dramas!
No, it was even faster than what she saw in the dramas!
"Get lost if you don't want to die, otherwise, you will die!"
Er Zhu scanned the golden armored guards who were glaring at him. His tone was calm, and the treasure blade in his hand was held steadily.
He wouldn't kill indiscriminately, but if these fools insisted on seeking death, he wouldn't mind sending them on their way!
The golden armored guards exchanged glances. After only a few seconds, they charged at Er Zhu again!
They were the legendary Golden Armored Guards, not cowards who clung to life. Even if they were to die, they would die on the battlefield!
"Ah!"
The dagger, gleaming with cold light, was instantly stained red. The tip pierced the throat of the golden armored guard, and he fell to the ground with a groan!
Er Zhu directly pulled out the treasure blade, and blood splattered all over his face, yet Er Zhu remained composed!
With a series of swift "swooshes," the blood-stained treasure blade accurately sliced through the necks of one golden armored guard after another, and those guards didn't even get a chance to retaliate!
The golden armored guards, who had undergone extremely rigorous training, were like ordinary people unable to even lift a chicken in front of Er Zhu. In just a few seconds, they were all eliminated!
Er Zhu was covered in blood, but not a single drop was his own!
Silence fell upon the scene once more, the air thick with the pungent smell of blood!
Liu Qing and Liu Changfa, who had just arrived, were stunned by the sight. Liu Changfa, in particular, was surprised that things had ended so quickly!
"Liu Qing, you handle these corpses. Brother Liu, let's go in and see Xiao Xuan."
Er Zhu wiped the blood from the treasure blade, a faint smile playing on his lips as he gazed at the spiritual light emanating from the weapon.
He had been lacking a suitable weapon, so he would reluctantly accept this antique treasure blade!
"Oh... alright, alright, I'll handle these..."
Only after Er Zhu entered the courtyard did Liu Qing react. Pinching her nose with a look of distaste, she waved her hand at the servants behind her and began to get busy.
Liu Changfa followed Er Zhu into the house. After Er Zhu washed up, he went to Xiao Xuan's bedside.
"Big Brother, it's so noisy outside. Is someone coming to kill me?"
As soon as Er Zhu sat down, Xiao Xuan, frowning, pointed towards the window and asked with anger and worry.
Although he was only five years old, he could sense that his father's family didn't like him, and their attitude had worsened even more after his father's death!
"It's fine, these little matters can be handled by Big Brother. You just focus on recovering."
Er Zhu gently stroked Xiao Xuan's head, coaxing him with affection. Xiao Xuan nodded as if he understood, then closed his eyes again.
"Alas, poor child!"
Seeing Xiao Xuan's obedient and adorable appearance, Liu Changfa sighed, his eyes filled with heartache and helplessness.
"Brother Liu, don't worry. From now on, I will protect Xiao Xuan!"
As Er Zhu performed acupuncture on Xiao Xuan, he looked at the boy dotingly and spoke slowly.
"Thank you, Er Zhu. With your words, I can rest in peace even if I die!"
Liu Changfa was stunned. With tears in his eyes, he repeatedly thanked Er Zhu. In this life, he owed Er Zhu far too much!
"Brother Er Zhu, I misunderstood you earlier. But how did you know the Chang family's bodyguards were coming?"
Liu Qing's voice broke the silence in the room. She was blushing furiously as she apologized to Er Zhu, then suddenly seemed to recall something and asked.
Hearing this question, Liu Changfa also looked at Er Zhu with curiosity. Er Zhu naturally felt their intense gazes and slowly replied, "I didn't figure it out. I had already sent people to observe the movements of the Chang family and your side."
Er Zhu naturally wouldn't reveal his Heavenly Eye ability, so he could only use such an excuse to fob them off. The two of them, hearing Er Zhu's explanation, nodded in realization.
"Cousin, Brother Er Zhu is still so smart. No wonder he can develop his business in Huabei City. He's truly capable!"
Suddenly, Liu Qing remembered the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood at the entrance. Her eyes sparkled as she chattered praises for Er Zhu.
Nowadays, influential figures like Er Zhu were rare. She had to hold onto his leg tightly!
And the best way to hold onto this leg was through a marriage alliance!
Of course, Liu Qing herself wasn't planning to marry Er Zhu. She intended to introduce her sister, Liu Mi, to Er Zhu!
Just as Liu Qing was about to speak, Liu Changfa frowned and signaled her with his eyes. Liu Qing could only reluctantly step back.
"I'm telling you, cousin, don't have any improper thoughts. Er Zhu isn't looking to date right now. You'd best behave yourself!"
As Liu Qing's cousin, Liu Changfa naturally understood her little schemes. He lowered his voice and sternly warned her.
"Oh, alright then." Liu Qing nodded with disappointment, but as soon as Liu Changfa left, her eyes glowed green again!
