Chapter 261 It Was a Trap
The leader of the masked men shouted angrily, "Su Yinyin, today is your death day, and this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
The sound was like the hooting of an owl, seemingly capable of tearing apart the deep night sky, containing endless killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.
Su Yinyin merely smiled coldly, a smile full of contempt and fearlessness.
She replied, "Then let's see if you have the ability. If you do, then bring it on."
Her gaze was as firm as a rock, without a trace of fear, shining like a brilliant star in the cold night.
Meanwhile, Lin Jie and his wife, who were in the other carriage, had never seen such a breathtaking scene before.
He was already trembling with fear, his teeth chattering, and the clattering sound of his teeth hitting each other was particularly clear in the silence.
Lin Jie's sister-in-law was deathly pale, her eyes filled with terror and panic.
He thought viciously to himself: I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to come here and suffer like this. I should never have come!
Her body trembled violently, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her back soaked with cold sweat.
If she hadn't been trembling with fear, she probably would have already started cursing at the masked men.
Lin Jie and Su Nian'an stood side by side beside Su Yinyin, and a gleaming sword had appeared in their hands without them noticing.
The gem on the hilt gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and the blade trembled slightly, as if it couldn't wait to drink the enemy's blood.
Su Yinyin looked at the two of them, her gaze lingering on them for a moment, her eyes revealing relief and warmth, as if a warm current was flowing through her heart.
The two were no longer as timid as before.
To say they are calm and fearless now would be an understatement; their eyes reveal a firm and strategic mind, as if they are ready for a desperate battle.
The fifth brother rushed forward first, his sword flashing coldly. A thin but fatal bloodstain appeared on the masked man's neck. His eyes widened in disbelief, and the light of his life vanished in an instant. His body fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Seeing how brave the fifth brother was, the other masked men became enraged and rushed towards Su Yinyin like a tidal wave, forming a siege.
Their footsteps thundered like muffled thunder, their weapons gleaming coldly in the moonlight, and they roared in low voices.
Su Yinyin hurriedly instructed Su Nian'an and Lin Jie: "Take good care of yourselves."
Her voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority, as if it could penetrate the chaotic battlefield and reach the depths of their hearts.
Seeing this, the fifth brother moved like a ghost, darting through the enemy ranks at a speed too fast for anyone to see. Every move he made was sharp and deadly, radiating killing intent.
His figure was like a phantom, leaving a trail of blood wherever he went, and the air was thick with the stench of blood. His movements were fluid and graceful, each sword strike carrying a resolute and chilling aura.
In the blink of an eye, all the masked men collapsed and died, lying haphazardly on the ground in a bloody and gruesome scene.
Blood stained the earth, forming tiny streams that gleamed eerily in the moonlight. The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood, making one's stomach churn.
The fifth brother walked up to Su Yinyin and lowered his voice, saying, "Miss, do you think that person will show up?"
His breathing was slightly disordered, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat that slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
Su Yinyin smiled and looked into the distance, her gaze deep and resolute, and said, "Yes, she's throwing a tantrum not far away."
Her lips curled slightly upward, and her eyes radiated confidence and composure, as if everything was under her control.
Su Nian'an frowned and asked, "Big sister, could this be a trap they've set?"
Su Nian'an's eyes were filled with worry and doubt, her brows were furrowed, and the veins on her forehead throbbed slightly.
Su Yinyin teased, "Nian'an has improved! That's right, this is a trap, a carefully designed trap to kill me."
Su Yinyin gently patted Su Nian'an's shoulder, a relaxed smile on her face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
Lin Jie said guiltily, "Big sister, then we've harmed you."
Lin Jie's face was full of self-reproach, his voice was filled with deep regret, and his eyes were glistening with tears.
Su Yinyin said solemnly, "You can't say that. Even without you, they will still set other traps."
Her gaze was firm, her tone serious, revealing an unwavering determination.
"Can……!"
Su Yinyin interrupted, "Alright, Lin Jie, go check on your parents. If they're alright, we can continue our journey."
Su Yinyin waved her hand, signaling Lin Jie to hurry up, her eyes filled with concern.
After Lin Jie checked on his parents and brother and confirmed that they were all fine, the group resumed their journey to the capital.
Although there were occasional bumps along the way, it went very quickly...
In a nearby tent, the beautiful woman trembled with rage and turned ashen-faced upon hearing her subordinate's report.
Her eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire, her chest heaved violently, and her breathing was rapid and disordered.
A beautiful woman slammed her delicate cup directly onto the head of the person giving the report, shouting angrily, "You bitch, I don't believe I can't kill you. I'm going to meet her myself."
The cup shattered instantly, shards flying everywhere. The subordinate shrank back in fright and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy.
His subordinates quickly advised, "Master, you mustn't show yourself."
The subordinate looked terrified and immediately knelt down to beg, his forehead pressed tightly to the ground, not daring to lift it.
The beautiful woman was furious and slapped her subordinate hard, yelling, "What use are you all?"
The subordinate, struck by the beautiful woman's palm, flew out like a kite with a broken string, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and lay on the ground, not daring to utter another word.
"Useless trash." After uttering these two words, the beautiful woman moved like a phantom, instantly appearing in front of Su Yinyin and the others' carriage.
The horse, struck by the beautiful woman's sudden knife, lurched violently. Its eyes were filled with terror, and its hooves kicked wildly. The carriage shook violently, as if it were about to fall apart.
Su Yinyin and Lao Wu quickly struck out with their palms, their powerful internal energy surging, forcibly separating the carriage from the horses.
The people in the carriage were finally safe.
After stabilizing the carriage, Su Yinyin looked up and saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a veil. Her eyes were filled with resentment, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, which made people shudder.
"Su Yinyin, today is your burial ground," the beautiful woman said viciously, her voice seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth.
Su Yinyin smiled calmly, her expression unhurried. "Why are you so determined to take my life?"
