Chapter 67 - 67 Unbridled Rage
67 Unbridled Rage
Su Ying charged forward on her horse and waved the electric baton in her hand, hitting the mercenaries viciously.
The bodies of the mercenaries convulsed momentarily before they fell down one by one.
Xiao Jin turned around and saw Su Ying, who was overwhelmed by fury. She was like a rampaging war god from hell, brandishing a scythe that harvested evil spirits. Her almond-shaped eyes, which were filled with hostile, murderous intent, were consumed by wrath.
Xiao Jin felt a powerful force charging at him from behind. The mercenary that had wanted to attack him from behind was sent flying by the electric shock, and his body hit a tree trunk like a piece of tattered rag.
Su Ying came to Xiao Jin’s side, and the electric baton in her hand continued to make the mercenaries’ lives a living hell.
After Su Ying appeared, the tight encirclement around Xiao Jin’s group gradually expanded, until the other party no longer dared to approach recklessly.
The rest of the mercenaries exchanged looks with each other and saw the shock in their comrades’ eyes.
Su Ying’s combat power had far exceeded their expectations.
“Retreat first. Retreat!”
“Leader, the mission isn’t completed yet!”
“Retreat first. We’ll talk later!” The rest of the mercenaries turned to run, but not surprisingly, Su Ying wouldn’t give them any chance to escape.
“You want to escape? Dream on!”
Su Ying mounted her horse and went after them on a killing spree.
These mercenaries would never have imagined in their whole lives that they would be chased by a woman on a mad killing spree.
For a while, cries of pain filled the entire sky above the plain.
The mercenaries were like wimps who did not even have the strength to capture a chicken. They were beaten up by Su Ying so badly until they had no strength to fight back!
“Spare me! Spare me, mighty heroine! I beg you to let us go. We’re only doing this for money… Argh!”
Su Ying’s baton struck him, and he fell to the ground in a fit of violent convulsions.
She looked around and saw that all the mercenaries had fallen. Only then did she return to Xiao Jin’s side. Looking at the wounds on his body, she quickly pulled off her sleeves and made simple bandages for his bigger wounds.
“Where are Ji and the others?”
“They are inside. Those people have already gone after them.”
Su Ying frowned as her anger flared up again. “You wait here.”
With that, she rushed inside without looking back.
There weren’t many mercenaries who pursued the carriages into the northern wilderness. There were only about ten. By the time Su Ying arrived, the remaining two mercenaries had already been subdued by the gatekeepers.
The rest of the mercenaries were either lying on the ground or hanging on tree branches.
“Ji! Ling!”
The two children stood up from Aunt Zhao’s arms when they heard Su Ying’s voice.
When they saw Su Ying standing not too far away, the fear that the twins had been suppressing exploded suddenly. They started bawling and ran toward Su Ying.
“Mother! Boo hoo hoo…”
Su Ying squatted down and pulled them into her arms. “Let me see if you’re hurt.”
Su Ying anxiously checked the kids all over.
The two little ones shook their heads while sobbing. “Mother… Mother’s weapon is so powerful. Protected… protected us.”
Su Ying picked up their bracelets and looked at them. There were signs that they had been used. She was very relieved that she had arrived here in time. After all, the bracelet’s power had a time limit. Once the time limit was up, its function would vanish.
“Aunt Zhao, Bai Shuang, are you guys alright?”
Aunt Zhao took out a dress from the carriage and helped Bai Shuang put it on. When the two of them saw Su Ying, they couldn’t contain themselves anymore and started crying. They were weeping tears of relief at surviving a disaster and tears of joy on seeing Su Ying’s return.
“Mistress, we… we’re fine. This thing you left for us is very useful. We’re all fine…” Aunt Zhao didn’t dare to think of the consequences. If it weren’t for the bracelets that Su Ying had given them, they would have been beheaded by now.
Su Ying then went to check on Hea Shouyi and the others. Before she left, she handed bracelets to all of them, except for Madam Sun’s family.
Therefore, even if everyone was injured, they only suffered superficial wounds. Back then, when the mercenaries discovered the power of their bracelets, they did not dare to rashly approach them anymore. After that, Wang Su and his companion arrived and took down the remaining mercenaries.
Madam Sun and the others were still trembling with a lingering fear. They thought they were going to die!
They staggered down from the carriage and glared at Su Ying resentfully. They had heard from Hea Shouyi and the others in the carriage that they had self-defense weapons, but Su Ying did not give them any weapons. She had clearly done it on purpose!
Madam Sun was so angry that she wanted to curse a few times to vent her anger, but she was firmly held back by Madam Zhou. “Mother, I beg you. Please don’t kick up a fuss with her. No matter how much you hate her, in the current situation, whether it’s Husband or us, we all need her. If she gets angry and drives us away, do you think we can survive in the northern wilderness?”
Wang Furong also grabbed Madam Sun’s hand. “Grandma, Mother is right. You have to think for Father. Father hasn’t recovered yet.”
Madam Sun didn’t really dare to approach Su Ying to make a scene. At most, she would only say a few words of criticism, but when she thought of the scene just now, she was indeed afraid, so she kept quiet eventually.
Su Ying was worried about Xiao Jin’s condition. After comforting the two children, she went back to him. However, on the way there, she avoided the crowd and entered the interspatial store. She brought Jiang Yang, Chu Yun, and the horse out. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself if people inquired later.
Su Ying ran back to Xiao Jin’s side and discovered that he was covered in blood again.
“How are the children?” Xiao Jin asked.
“They are fine.” Su Ying grabbed his hand to check the bracelet on his wrist. Sure enough, he didn’t use it.
“Why didn’t you use this?”
Xiao Jin looked at his bracelet and said, “I could still hold on at the time.” He didn’t understand the bracelet’s power and only wanted to retain it and use it as a last resort.
Su Ying thought about how he had been surrounded by the mercenaries and fought a bloody battle, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. This feeling spread throughout her body until it reached her heart. It made her feel somewhat suffocated.
Su Ying didn’t know what was wrong with her.
“I’ll deal with your injuries first.” She had taken out the medicine when she entered the interspatial store just now.
“Where are Jiang Yang and the others? Did you find them?”
Su Ying replied without looking up, “I found them. That fellow encountered a pack of wolves. That was why he didn’t come back after so long.”
Xiao Jin turned and glanced at the pack of wolves not far behind Su Ying. They were sniffing the mercenaries on the ground, and after a few sniffs, they raised their heads to take a look in Su Ying’s direction. It was as if they didn’t dare to eat them without Su Ying’s permission.
They appeared more docile than domesticated dogs!
“It’s going to hurt a little. Bear with it.”
As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, Xiao Jin felt a burning pain from his wound. He gave a muffled grunt, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Su Ying looked at the knife wounds on Xiao Jin’s body. Several of them were very deep. She could only think of a way to stop the bleeding for now. Later on, after they found a place to settle down, she would have to stitch up the wounds properly.
Every wound on his flesh showed how intense the battle had been.
The more Su Ying looked at him, the angrier she became. After bandaging Xiao Jin’s wounds, she stood up in a huff and punched the mercenary who had collapsed to the ground.
The alpha wolf leader, who was about to bite him furtively, was so frightened that all the fur on its body stood up!
