Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*???*)

The remaining four black-clad men worked together to kill Gu Jiao. After exchanging over a hundred moves with them, Gu Jiao's body was already covered in blood.

The opponents had the advantage in both skill and numbers, and their injuries were less severe compared to Gu Jiao’s.

It seemed that the four of them were gaining the upper hand.

In reality though, the four of them were all quite astonished.

Where did this kid come from? How could he still keep on fighting?

They thought he might be a military archer, but he wielded the red-tasseled spear so well, and yet they couldn't recall any young man this skilled in any military camp in Shengdu.

More importantly, every time they thought he was about to be defeated, he managed to stand up again.

“Leader, how does he still have strength?” One embroidered-uniform guard asked quietly.

Another embroidered-uniform guard added, “Yeah, leader, after enduring so many sword strikes, shouldn’t he have died from exhaustion by now?”

The leader cast a complex look at the youth whose clothes were already soaked with blood. The youth’s mask had fallen off during the fight, but his face was unrecognizable due to all the blood.

The leader suddenly felt reluctant to kill him.

"Kid, I don't care who sent you. That person clearly has bad intentions. You are no match for us, yet they sent you alone, obviously wanting you to die. If you are willing to join our master, I can spare your life and even nurture you in the future!"

“Leader!” The remaining three simultaneously changed their expressions.

“He killed Liu Dong and Zhang Qiang!” One of the embroidered-uniform guards reproached.

The leader did not respond but stared fixedly at the youth who, despite being exhausted, remained as unyielding as a blood-soaked wolf. "Either die or surrender. The choice is yours."

"I choose..." Gu Jiao, through his blood-blurred vision, coldly looked at them, "to kill you all!"

The leader gritted his teeth and said, “It seems there’s no need to hold back any longer. Kill him!”

The three advanced towards Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao raised her hand to grasp the protective amulet around her neck.

"If you can't beat them, run! Don't take off your safety amulet, you hear me!?"

Gu Jiao slowly lowered back her hand, her gaze piercing as she watched the three rushing towards her. She swung the red-tasseled spear, meeting them head-on in a near-suicidal manner without dodging.

The three widened their eyes.

This kid!

Gu Jiao’s spear pierced the embroidered-uniform guard on her right. The embroidered-uniform guard on her left, being separated by another person, couldn't easily harm her, but the one in the middle managed to slash her leg with his sword.

She also managed to pierce the middle opponent, kicking him and using the force to withdraw her spear and perform a backflip, landing seven feet away.

This scene was completely unexpected by everyone.

Despite being on the brink of collapse, she had still managed to kill more of them.

The leader's entire body surged with murderous intent, "Among the young people I've seen, the most skilled in martial arts is the Han Family's shizi. Your current skills may not surpass his, but your potential definitely does. It's a shame to have to kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he wielded his longsword and slashed fiercely at Gu Jiao!

This strike, she couldn't block.

The safety amulet couldn't be removed either.

Her entire body was numb.

Xiao Heng, I still haven't found out about your origins.

She fell face down, eyes open, staring blankly as she hit the ground.

"Prepare to die——" The leader's longsword swung toward Gu Jiao's neck.

Clang!

The longsword was suddenly deflected by something, flying out of his hand and embedding itself in a nearby tree, the hilt swaying violently, demonstrating the strength of the previous strike.

“Who?!” The leader shouted angrily, turning to the side.

“Tsk, a bunch of grown men ganging up on a young girl. Has the Crown Prince’s embroidered-uniform guards become so shameless?”

In the moonlit night, a monk dressed in gray robes, holding a string of prayer beads in one hand, approached them step by step, his pace unhurried.

The monk was strikingly handsome, with alluring eyes that seemed out of place for a man who had taken religious vows.

A memorable tear mole was situated beneath his right eye.

The monk's appearance was so striking that it took the remaining two embroidered-uniform guards a long time to recover from their shock.

Only to be even more astonished.

What did he just say?

The youth they fought for so long and who managed to kill four of their embroidered-uniform guards... was actually a girl?

And how did the other party know they were embroidered-uniform guards from the Crown Prince Estate?

Where did this monk come from? Was he following them all along or just passing by?

"Who exactly are you?" The leader gripped his longsword tightly.

He couldn't sense any aura from the monk, meaning either he had no martial arts skills or his skills had reached an extraordinary level, surpassing theirs. He glanced at his longsword embedded in the tree after being struck away.

The sword blade had a notch.

He then looked at the clearing around them and saw a leaf embedded in the ground.

The leader's pupils constricted in shock.

Could it be? Did this monk just use a leaf to knock away his sword?

And even put a notch in it?

What kind of terrifying internal force would that require?

The monk smiled and said, "A monk’s name is not worth mentioning."

Under the moonlight, his smile inexplicably exuded a sinister and eerie feeling, causing the remaining embroidered-uniform guards to feel a chill in their hearts.

What nonsense about being a monk!

They had never seen such a sinister-looking monk!

The leader couldn't help but feel a surge of apprehension. He gripped his sword hilt, steadied his mind, and coldly threatened, "Monk! This has nothing to do with you! If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave quickly!"

"Sigh." The monk sighed softly, his lips barely moving as he said, "Monks are compassionate. Why do you benefactors have to fight and kill people? Can't we talk things out peacefully?"

The other embroidered-uniform guard pointed his longsword at him and shouted angrily, "Who the hell wants to talk peacefully with you! Either get lost or we'll kill you along with that brat!"

"Oh?" The monk smiled faintly and then raised the hand holding the prayer beads. He tapped his delicate chin with his slender fingers as if in thought, "You want to kill me?"

Hearing this, the leader felt an increasing sense of unease.

He couldn't see through this monk's strength at all!

The embroidered-uniform guard sneered, "Leader, don't waste words with him! I'll handle this guy! Since he knows our identity, we must silence him anyway!"

As he spoke, he looked fiercely at the monk, who looked otherworldly under the moonlight, and said viciously, "Remember not to meddle in others' business in your next life! Go to hell——"

He swiftly charged at the monk, and when he was ten steps away, he leaped into the air. Gripping the sword hilt with both hands, he fiercely slashed down at the monk from above!

This move was intended to split the monk in half!

"Stop—" The leader reached out to stop him, but it was too late. His sword had already struck.

The monk looked up at the attacking embroidered-uniform guard from the air, lightly curled his lips, and raised his left hand, which wasn't holding the prayer beads. With a light flick of his fingertip——

"What’s happening? My sword..." The embroidered-uniform guard felt an immense force as vast as the ocean strike his sword. Then half of his body instantly went numb as he was violently thrown away by the terrifying force!

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
