3509 Rescue
When Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze emerged from the small forest, they saw the scene on the mountain road even before they got close. Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed as she saw those men in black ferociously slash their swords at the few children and their mother. With a flick of her sleeve, a gust of air burst out, and the figure in azure darted out at the same time.

Just before the sharp blades could take the lives of the mother and child, Feng Jiu saved them. Her action sent the attacking men in black flying away, slamming heavily into the trees by the roadside.

“Pfft!”

Blood sprayed out. The bodies of those who were sent flying twitched for a moment before lying motionless.

“Who dares to interfere in our affairs?” The gloomy gaze of the leader landed on Feng Jiu. The sword, which had been aimed at the middle-aged man, was now levelled at her.

Standing not far away, Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s eyes turned cold when he saw these men daring to attack his wife. His figure suddenly shot out like a ghost. No one saw him make his move except for Feng Jiu. All they knew was that his figure flashed through the crowd, and dozens of men in black fell to the ground, each with a small cut on his throat.

As those men fell, the wounded guards stopped and stared in disbelief at the two people who had suddenly appeared. They glanced at the dead bodies of the men in black and for a little while they were unable to speak.

Even those few children stopped crying and stared with wide eyes at Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who was standing next to Feng Jiu without a single drop of blood on him.
“Are you alright?”

Xuanyuan Mo Ze checked Feng Jiu over thoroughly, relieved to see that she was not injured by the sword intent. Although he knew that she could handle them, he was still surprised to see her charging out like that.

Feng Jiu glanced at him and smiled, “I’m fine.”

At this point, the pale middle-aged man finally came to his senses. He led his wife and children to the two, “Thank you both for saving our lives. Please accept our family’s deep gratitude.” Saying so, he knelt down without hesitation.

Without their intervention, they likely would have all perished today.

Feng Jiu didn’t stop them from bowing, only said, “You all are seriously injured; treat your wounds quickly!”

As she spoke, she turned away from them and looked at the dozens of dead bodies on the ground. “Husband, these people should have some valuable belongings. It looks like our travel expenses are covered.”

When Xuanyuan Mo Ze heard this, his lips curved up and his deep eyes filled with affection as he looked at her. “Then let’s collect the valuables and later find a place to exchange them for money.”

“Yes, ” Feng Jiu agreed with a twinkle in her eyes and said, “Wait for a moment. I’ll be done shortly.” She began searching the bodies of the men in black for their valuables as she spoke.

The guards and the middle-aged couple were all taken aback by what they saw. These two seemed profoundly skilled, killing those men in black with a single blow. They initially thought of them as great masters, but this behaviour somewhat overturned their perceptions.

After a moment of hesitation, the middle-aged man exchanged glances with his wife and began to speak, “I wonder if the two of you can…”
