"What's wrong with the door? It won’t open. Did someone lock it from the inside?"
"It can't be. Let me try!"
The soldier's companion forcefully pushed open the door, and a sudden blaze of fire greeted his eyes. He was briefly stunned, but before he could process why there was fire inside, Gu Chengfeng had already shot two concealed weapons at them.
He stiffened before falling forward.
The soldier didn't collapse heavily to the ground as Gu Chengfeng swiftly flashed over to catch him.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The other soldier didn’t have time to react as the second concealed weapon from Gu Chengfeng cut his throat.
Gu Chengfeng caught both of them, dragging them into the room without making a sound. He quickly yet carefully closed the door without the slightest noise.
He placed the bodies on the ground and then slumped against the room's door, trembling slightly as he caught his breath.
He was a thief, not an assassin.
No matter how many times he did it, he could never fully adapt to taking a life.
But he couldn't afford not to kill in this situation.
The one referred to as Chief Guard Liu by the two soldiers led a squad of patrolling soldiers as they passed near the courtyard. Gu Chengfeng held his breath, minimizing his presence.
Gu Jiao had finished shaping all the wooden boards, and now they only needed to be secured, hopefully without making too much noise.
However, just as they were trying to be discreet, Old Marquis showed signs of awakening. In a daze, he suddenly coughed.
"What's that noise?"
"Responding to Chief Guard Liu, it seems to have come from the wine cellar. There's a hostage being held there."
Chief Guard Liu asked, "Is it the Old Marquis of the Gu Family Army?"
One of his subordinates replied, "Yes, it's him. He was interrogated this afternoon and got injured."
Chief Guard Liu questioned, "Why is he locked in the wine cellar?"
The subordinate hesitated and awkwardly smiled.
The reason Old Marquis was kept in the wine cellar instead of the dungeon was that someone had defied the higher-ups and subjected him to torture privately. They were afraid that if they took him to the dungeon, it would be discovered, so they locked him in the wine cellar first.
Chief Guard Liu wasn't foolish, and he quickly grasped the crucial details. He was just a minor captain of the guards and couldn’t offend the person who used private torture on the Old Marquis. But tonight, he was on duty, and if anything happened to the hostage, he would also be held accountable.
"Go check on the hostage." He ordered.
Two of his subordinates promptly headed towards the wine cellar.
At this moment, Gu Jiao had finished stabilizing Old Marquis's left arm and was now securing his right arm.
Gu Chengfeng took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
What had to happen was happening...
Gu Chengfeng didn't give the two men a chance to push the door open. He burst out of the room, using two concealed weapons to take down the two soldiers in front of him.
"Assassin!" Chief Guard Liu drew his sword from his waist and led the rest of his men charging towards Gu Chengfeng.
This group, including Chief Guard Liu, were just regular soldiers and were not exceptionally skilled. Gu Chengfeng handled them without much difficulty. However, Chief Guard Liu also seemed to recognize Gu Chengfeng's impressive skills. Without hesitation, he blew the wooden whistle hanging from his waist.
A tall and mighty figure descended from the sky, landing a powerful kick to Gu Chengfeng's chest. He fell heavily at the wine cellar's entrance, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Gu Chengfeng clutched his chest in pain and recognized the black-clad man as one of the experts he and Gu Jiao had been tracking all the way here.
His companions also descended from the sky, one on the left and one on the right, blocking the courtyard's entrance.
No wonder he failed to notice it when they drugged him. Their skills were almost on par with the Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guards.
Gu Chengfeng clutched his aching chest with one hand and propped himself up with a sword in the other, his gaze filled with a fierce determination as he stood up.
"Archers, prepare!" Chief Guard Liu shouted.
A line of archers entered and knelt on one knee, aligning their bows and arrows, aiming at Gu Chengfeng.
Old Marquis, who had his right leg fixed in place, seemed to sense that his grandson was in trouble. He slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look towards the door.
His vision was somewhat blurry from the long slumber, but he vaguely recognized a familiar figure who stubbornly picked up the longsword at his side, determined to protect those inside the room.
Old Marquis's eyes welled up with moisture.
Gu Chengfeng had lost count of how many times the black-clad expert had kicked him to the ground. Each time he fell, he spat out a mouthful of blood, but every time, he got back up.
The black-clad expert seemed to be growing tired of the fight. After knocking Gu Chengfeng down in the snow for the final time, he planted his icy boot on Gu Chengfeng's chest.
He gestured to his companion.
His companion understood and headed quickly towards the wine cellar.
Gu Chengfeng clutched a concealed weapon in his palm, but before he could shoot it, the black-clad expert trampled on his hand, shattering the bone.
It was time to end everything.
The black-clad expert raised his cold boot and ruthlessly stomped down on Gu Chengfeng's head.
Suddenly, the sky started to snow heavily, and snowflakes began to fall.
"Ahh——"
With a sudden scream, the black-clad man's companion outside the wine cellar was forcefully pulled inside.
At almost the same moment, a red-tasseled spear shot out from the wine cellar with a chilling whistling sound, piercing through the floating snow. It went through the heart of the black-clad expert stomping on Gu Chengfeng, lifting him off the ground and pinning him forcefully to the hard wall!
Everyone stood still in shock, and in the next moment, they all looked towards the wine cellar, where they saw a slender figure at the door.
In the midst of the falling snow, the youth had long, ink-black hair, a pair of cold eyes, and a menacing aura, as if she was an Asura who had walked out of hell.
In her fair and slender right hand, she held a lifeless body, which belonged to the other black-clad expert who had been dragged into the wine cellar. He was already devoid of life and was tossed into the snowy courtyard by the youth as if he were a sack.
The youth’s throw might not have been very forceful, but it exuded an air of wildness, disdain, arrogance, and dominance that they all could feel clearly.
No one knew how the youth had done it. Just now, their attention had been completely focused on the first black-clad expert as he was about to crush Gu Chengfeng's head. It was a scene that was bloody, brutal, and exhilarating.
When the second black-clad expert went to the wine cellar to search for possibly another intruder, they only heard a sharp scream, but they didn't think even for a second that the scream came from their own people.
Instead, they thought it was their own black-clad expert who quickly entered the room and apprehended another assassin inside, and the scream was made by this accomplice.
Now, their two experts were both dead—— one pinned to the wall by a long spear and the other lifeless in the courtyard, tossed aside by the youth.
The scene was shocking and bewildering.
Everyone's voices were stuck in their throats, and even their breaths seemed to unconsciously pause.
Only Gu Chengfeng, lying in the snowy and blood-soaked ground, felt his body relax.
Had this girl finally finished the surgery?
He thought he wouldn't make it.
Good thing she was out now... Thank goodness...
Gu Chengfeng, coughing up blood and trembling, broke into relieved laughter.Raz P.'s Thoughts
