Chapter 287 Rout
Chapter 287 Rout
The two men who harassed Miss Yun did not mention being beaten at all when they returned home.
I came out today to gather information, but I almost messed things up because of my recklessness. If the boss finds out, he will definitely not let them off easily.
To avoid punishment, they chose to remain silent about harassing the girl.
Therefore, the bandit leader and his men were unaware that the manor had increased its security.
It's certainly better if it's discovered later.
Even if they were discovered, they wouldn't be afraid, since they knew beforehand that there were guards in the manor, and this conflict was unavoidable.
Because the guards notified Nangong Ming immediately, Liu Yu rushed to the guest room upon receiving the message.
Liu Yu was familiar with the terrain and took a shortcut to arrive at the guest room before the bandit leader.
Just then, the bandit leader and his gang bypassed the guards and arrived downstairs.
Liu Yu brought only two guards, while the bandit leader brought more than a dozen men.
When the bandit leader saw the men standing guard in front of the building with swords, and confirmed that there were only three of them, he was very disdainful and did not take Liu Yu seriously at all.
His eyes flashed with a cold light as he brandished his broadsword, signaling his men to come forward and deal with the three men.
Upon receiving orders, several bandits charged towards Liu Yu and his two companions, brandishing knives and shouting.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
In no time, Liu Yu kicked the bandits to the ground.
Liu Yu's martial arts skills were quite high, while those bandits only had brute strength and ruthlessness. Their mediocre skills made their fight chaotic and they were easily defeated.
Their skills might be enough to deal with ordinary civilians and wealthy merchants who lack martial arts skills, but they wouldn't be sufficient against truly skilled martial artists.
The bandit leader realized that a formidable opponent had arrived, and knew that none of his men were a match for him.
He whispered a few words to his men, then brandished his broadsword and charged forward to confront Liu Yu.
The bandit leader was no ordinary person; Liu Yu could sense his strength when they sparred.
The bandit leader had a strong and robust physique and was extremely strong.
While most other bandits just hack and slash randomly, he was skilled in martial arts, and quite skilled at it.
They were also extremely ruthless when they struck.
The two guards accompanying Liu Yu were also held back by several bandits, while the other bandits took the opportunity to bypass the fighting scene and head towards the guest rooms.
At this moment, the guests staying in the room also heard the commotion outside.
Some guests who had already gone to sleep were also awakened from their dreams by the sound of swords clashing.
At first, they were completely bewildered, but after careful observation, they were filled with terror.
The sound of swords clashing?
Sounds of fighting?
Intense fighting?
What... happened?
Although they did not know what the situation was outside, most people closed their doors and windows when they sensed danger.
Hiding inside the room, they were too scared to make a sound.
Those guests who had bodyguards with them were sent out to investigate what had happened.
The bodyguard noticed a group of people wielding machetes approaching and quickly realized something was wrong.
One can guess a thing or two from their clothing and the menacing aura they exude.
Seeing the enemy's aggressive approach, they had no choice but to pick up their weapons and fight back.
Some doors and windows were smashed during the fight, and the guests inside screamed in fright and hurriedly sought cover to hide.
Or they might hide in the closet.
Or hide under the bed.
The area in front of the guest rooms was instantly filled with the sounds of clashing weapons and shouts.
Yang Jing and Yang Yi arrived quickly as well.
With the help of Yang Jing and Yang Yi, the dozen or so bandits were quickly subdued.
Yang Jing's punches were quite powerful, and the bandits were all knocked to the ground.
For a time, cries of agony filled the air.
Yang Yi clapped his hands, crossed his arms, and stepped on the chest of a bandit.
"I wasn't done fighting yet! They're all down already, they're really easy to beat." Yang Yi said with a look of disdain. "With skills like this, you dare to call yourself a bandit? All show and no substance."
Seeing his men being beaten to the ground one by one, the bandit leader was startled and sensed something was wrong.
But by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late to get everyone to evacuate.
The opponent moved swiftly and attacked even more ruthlessly than they did.
In no time at all, he had knocked down all of his dozen or so men; it was a complete annihilation.
I thought there were only some ordinary guards in the manor, but I didn't expect that the people who came would be more and more powerful than the last.
That was a real miscalculation.
Now, not only have we not gained a single penny, but we've also lost so many brothers.
I wonder how things are going at the warehouse? Did they succeed?
He had to escape quickly, or he would also be doomed here.
The bandit leader shouted and used his broadsword to desperately deflect Liu Yu's sword.
Liu Yu took a step back, and the bandit leader seized the opportunity to turn around and run away.
Liu Yu was about to give chase when Yang Jing called out to him.
"I'll go after them. You stay here and handle the scene," Yang Jing said. "Tie them all up, and then properly appease the guests."
"Alright, young general, be careful." Liu Yu replied.
-
The group of bandits who intercepted and guarded the area was the largest, numbering nearly twenty.
When Xiao Han and the others arrived, there were casualties on both sides.
Although the guards in the manor were not bad in martial arts, their daily lives were mostly peaceful, and their previous tasks were just to patrol the surrounding area.
The most serious incidents I've dealt with were just arguments between guests; all I had to do was separate them and offer some advice.
Under such comfort, one naturally becomes lax and lazy in terms of strengthening one's own abilities.
With so many bandits suddenly appearing, they were thrown into disarray.
The bandits were all desperate criminals, and they were extremely ruthless when they fought.
When faced with ordinary robbers who have no means of resistance, they might spare their lives, steal the money, and then leave.
As for those opponents who resist, they will show no mercy.
More than a dozen guards have been either wounded or killed.
Even in the dark and with poor visibility, one could still see the crimson bloodstains scattered across the pristine white snow.
The remaining guards felt that saving their own lives was the priority and were about to run away when Xiao Han and his group arrived.
Seeing that someone had come to help, and that this person was highly skilled in martial arts, the guards gave up their idea of escaping.
The bandits, who had initially gained the upper hand, were quickly routed after Xiao Han and his group arrived.
The second-in-command of the bandits realized that the operation had failed, and he called on the three remaining survivors to prepare for their escape.
"Stop them."
Xiao Han held a sharp sword to the neck of a bandit and said in a deep voice.
Qingying and Qingshan leaped forward to block the four people's retreat.
"You killed someone, committed a crime, and now you want to run away?" Qingying said coldly, holding a sharp sword.
The second-in-command of the bandits looked around with his broadsword in hand, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
I'm afraid we're doomed here today.
He furrowed his thick eyebrows, a look of resentful anger hidden beneath his beard.
"Ah, I'll fight you to the death..."
With a loud shout, the second-in-command of the bandits charged at Qingying and Qingshan with a large knife.
Seeing their leader's reaction, the other three bandits also drew their knives and joined him in the attack.
