Chapter 451: 451

Whoosh!

From the tiled roof of the dilapidated temple, someone descended, long sword in hand, thrusting straight towards the teenager.

The two accompanying the teenager were not to be trifled with, either. They quickly drew their own weapons and engaged in combat, while the teenager himself also pulled out his Soft Sword from his waist and charged forward to meet the attack.

Just as Wufu had predicted, a fierce battle unfolded on this snowy night.

Wufu glanced at Ah Jiu, his eyes conveying, see, I was right again, wasn’t I?

Ah Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, giving a thumbs-up.

The people nearby who accidentally caught sight of this couldn’t help but twitch their mouths. There they were, fighting a life or death struggle, and these two were exchanging meaningful glances, showing no respect for the fierce battle. Shouldn’t they at least be tense to avoid unintended disasters?

The incoming attackers in black clothes numbered at least ten, yet the teenager only had four people. Despite their exceptional martial arts skills, they couldn’t withstand the onslaught of greater numbers and gradually began to lose ground, sustaining injuries one after another.

"Young master, run!" The man the teenager called Uncle Qian tapped the tip of his foot and, like a swallow in flight, landed in front of the youngster, blocking a deadly move for him.

The teenager’s eyes reddened with fury, and with a flourish of his sword, the Soft Sword quivered, impaling one of the men in black through the abdomen.

From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Wufu and the other bystanders huddled in a corner, watching the battle. Irritation flared within him.

With a tap of his toe, the teenager spun around and charged towards Wufu and the others.

"Damn it, how shameless, diverting trouble to us!" Wufu saw through the teenager’s intent and uttered a soft scoff.

Ah Jiu commented, "He’s smart."

Clearly at a disadvantage, but with Ah Jiu and the others just spectating, the teenager thought of drawing them in. Whatever happened, it would create a distraction. For their own safety, Ah Jiu and company would be compelled to take action.

Wufu’s eyes darted around and he said, "Do you want to earn some Silver?"

"You..." Ah Jiu looked at her. These were all dead soldiers.

Wufu let out a cunning smile and tossed her Butterfly Knife forward, blocking a hidden weapon for the teenager, then spun towards him.

"Hey, got any Silver?" Wufu asked.

The teenager paused briefly.

"Twenty thousand taels to hire us to help you," Wufu caught her Butterfly Knife.

Seeing two of his men already down, no sign of life in them, the teenager’s eyes bulged with rage and agreed, "Alright!"

Only then did Wufu move, her figure exceedingly swift as she rushed towards the nearest man in black.

Ah Jiu and the rest were momentarily stunned—twenty thousand taels, she was really profiteering from their plight!

But Wufu didn’t care. Between Silver and life, which was more important? The teenager should understand this distinction. As for the reason she set the price that high, it was because she had noticed the fabric of the teenager’s trousers—such material was not for the poor.

So, highway robbery it was.

Wufu gripped her Butterfly Knife, her movements were crafty yet straightforward, targeting the man in black’s death points, the carotid artery on the neck—a clean slice with every strike.

"Watch out for hidden weapons!" Wufu saw a man ejecting a green-glowing dart towards the teenager and cried out, twisting in mid-air to kick the assailant away.

A poisoned dart approached the forehead of the teenager, who widened his eyes, resigned to his impending fate.

Clang!

Another hidden weapon knocked the dart away—it was Xiao Li bursting forth, holding several plum flower-shaped iron pieces in his hand.

Before the teenager could catch a breath of relief, another man in black attacked, slashing his hand. Pain shot through him, and his sword clattered to the ground.

"Su Luo." Ah Jiu finally spoke.

Su Luo had been ready. Upon hearing his master, the guards that surrounded Ah Jiu swooped towards the assailants in the temple.
