C9 He Had Made a Comeback
Cui Wei did not expect Sikou Nianxi to suddenly pull her back and almost fall. Sikou Nianxi saw the situation and quickly helped her up. Only then did Cui Wei not fall to the ground. But before she could stabilize herself, a dart suddenly flew towards where Sikou Nianxi was standing and nailed onto a pillar in the house.
Cui Wei could not help but suck in a breath of cold air when she saw this, and she thought to herself that if Sikou Nianxi did not bring her to look behind her just now, she would not be able to avoid it. From the looks of it, the dart just now had accurately struck Sikou Nianxi's forehead.
When she thought of this, Cui Wei still had lingering fear in her heart until now. She could not help but turn her head to look at Sikou Nianxi, only to see that she was calmly sizing up her surroundings, as if the soul-stirring scene earlier did not happen.
Forcefully calming her mind, Cui Wei also carefully sized up the movements in the surroundings. That dart earlier could not have flown towards Sikou Nianxi for no reason. It was likely that the group of masked men from a few days ago had made a comeback.
Thinking of this, Cui Wei carefully pulled the corner of Sikou Nianxi's clothes. Her voice was so low that it was suppressed. "Miss, do you think that the group of men in black a few days ago had already discovered our hiding place and rushed over to capture us?"
Sikou Nianxi did not answer. She only made a silent gesture to Cui Wei, indicating that she should not speak. When Cui Wei saw this, she very sensibly closed her mouth. Sikou Nianxi's brows were tightly knitted.
How could she not know what Cui Wei said? What she did not expect was that the group of black-clothed people's movements were actually so swift. Just as they moved over to Si Kou Manor, that group of black-clothed people followed. They moved so quickly that Sikou Nianxi could not help but admire them.
What Sikou Nianxi could not understand was why they did not show themselves since they had already chased them to this place. Could it be that they were just bluffing with a dart? Sikou Nianxi gave Zhao Lee a look, but Zhao Lee shook his head gently.
Sure enough, after a moment, three to five men in black jumped in from the window. Cui Wei was shocked and quickly moved in front of Sikou Nianxi. She pulled out her sword from her waist and protected Sikou Nianxi.
Zhao Lee quickly got entangled with a few men in black. Those men in black did not have outstanding martial arts, but their stamina and endurance were surprisingly good for some unknown reason. Zhao Lee had clearly stabbed one of the men in black, but the man in black only paused for a moment before he immediately raised his blade and hacked at Zhao Lee. The sharpness of his blade technique was no less than before.
Zhao Lee's martial arts skills were far superior to theirs. But there was nothing to do with their desperate entanglement. His movements gradually slowed down. As for Cui Wei's side, although they were still temporarily at the upper hand, Those men in black who tried to assassinate Sikou Nianxi could not get close to Sikou Nianxi at all, but Sikou Nianxi also noticed. Treev's breathing is getting heavier and heavier, and although the men in black have been wounded, big and small, Sikou Nianxi could not help but frown. According to this trend, Cui Wei and the rest could only hold on for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Sikou Nianxi took a few steps back and subconsciously tightened her grip on her backpack with her right hand. At this moment, Sikou Nianxi suddenly heard a muffled groan. She thought that it was not good. She raised her head and looked forward. Sure enough, Zhao Lee was injured. His right arm was cut open by the group of men in black.
"Zhao Lee!" Cui Wei saw Zhao Lee's hand was injured and her heart was in chaos. "How are you?" Zhao Lee barely managed to deal with a few more attacks before replying. "I'm fine." His voice was muffled. It was obvious that apart from the wound on his right arm, Zhao Lee had also sustained serious internal injuries.
As the saying goes, when one is concerned, one is at a loss. How could Cui Wei have the time to deal with the man in black? She only wanted to go to Zhao Lee's side and help him. When she was not careful, she also got stabbed in the right side of her ribs. Fresh blood slowly flowed out from the wound.
That place was precisely Cui Wei's vital point. Cui Wei immediately softened her body and fell to the ground. "Cui Wei!" Zhao Lee roared and used all of his strength to block the group of men in black. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Cui Wei's side.
Looking at Cui Wei's pale face, Zhao Lee's mind was thrown into chaos. He kept asking, "Cui Wei, how are you? Can you still take it?" Cui Wei forced a smile. Weak: "My injury is not light, that knife just stabbed three inches below my right ribs. I... I was severely injured here when I was practicing martial arts with Young Master. I... I'm afraid I can't take it anymore. Hurry up and take Miss away... "
"I will not!" Zhao Lee shook his head and held Cui Wei in his arms. He blocked the attacks of the men in black. More and more wounds appeared on his body. However, he didn't seem to notice it. He just stared at Cui Wei and said, "Don't say such sad words. Don't you remember that the young master told us before he left? What do you want us to do? What do you want us to do? Don't you even listen to Young Master's words? Besides, Miss Sikou's medical skills were superb. "She definitely has a way to save you..."
Cui Wei's injury had almost robbed Zhao Lee of all his thoughts. Zhao Lee had probably completely forgotten that the group of men in black came here for Sikou Nianxi. The wounds on Zhao Lee's body also increased. The men in black gave each other a look and pulled the two men towards Sikou Nianxi.
Seeing the two men in black getting closer and closer to her, Sikou Nianxi had no choice but to retreat step by step. Until there was no way to retreat, Sikou Nianxi's back was pressed against the wall while the men in black were still approaching step by step.
Cold sweat continuously appeared on Sikou Nianxi's palm. She looked at Zhao Lee who was in a daze. She knew that she could not count on him at this moment no matter what. Calming herself down, Sikou Nianxi's eyes met the blood red eyes of the black-clothed man. She took a deep breath. At this moment, there was only one thought in Sikou Nianxi's heart, and that was no matter what. She had yet to find the murderer of her entire family. She had yet to take revenge for her father and mother. She had yet to find her brother. How could she die?
The man in black walked closer and closer. He surrounded Sikou Nianxi and slowly raised the knife in his hand. There was still blood on the knife. It was unknown if it was Zhao Lee or Cui Wei's blood. There was still warmth left on the knife. It was dripping onto the ground one drop at a time. It was as if it had a life of its own.
Drops of blood dripped onto the gray ground, forming a pool of blood. Under the flickering candlelight, it gave off a strange light. Sikou Nianxi's pupils contracted. The massacre that happened many years ago seemed to have come back to her. Her eyes were full of blood and boundless darkness. Sikou Nianxi's breathing gradually became heavy.
The black clothed man raised his knife higher and higher, and the smell of blood in the surrounding air became heavier and heavier. As if he suddenly woke up, Zhao Lee suddenly looked in Sikou Nianxi's direction and could not help but shout, "Miss Sikou!"
