Suddenly, a flash of white gleamed in her hand.
A sharp dagger.
"Slash."
Tang Lu easily brushed the dagger in her hand.
The guardsâ eyes widened as they clasped their throats tightly.
Blood spurted out in torrents, their mouths opening as if to say something, but in the end, no words came out. They collapsed to the ground.
Dead!
All four guards were dead.
The thick scent of blood permeated the air.
Outside the Tang Manor, some guests were preparing to enter the estate.
No one could have imagined witnessing the bloody scene of Tang Lu killing people with their own eyes.
Screams instantly rang out from all directions.
Many panicked, retreating frantically.
Still, some recognized Tang Lu and her sibling.
"Crazy, absolutely crazyâitâs Tang Lu."
"Thatâs right, Miss Tang Lu. Sheâs the proud daughter of Master Tang, but didnât the fourth master of the Tang Family try to exterminate both siblings to seize control of the Tang Family? So why is Tang Lu here now?"
"Not only Tang Luâbut also the young master of the Tang Family. Tang Lu must be here for revenge."
"But sheâs just a frail woman. Even if sheâs learned some combat skills and can kill a handful, the Tang Manor has dozens of skilled fighters and hundreds of servants. Tang Lu alone likely stands no chance."
Many began heated discussions.
The affairs of the Tang Family were not exactly a best-kept secret.
Everyone knew the ins and outs behind it all.
Back then, Master Tang had a good reputation, earning sympathy for Tang Lu and her sibling.
But sympathy alone was futile.
No one could actually intervene to help Tang Lu.
Now that Tang Lu had returned to the Tang Manor for revenge, it indeed shocked everyone.
With Lu Changshengâs help, Tang Luâs physical capabilities had improved two to three times over, combined with her superb martial arts skillsâa truly terrifying force.
Every swing of her dagger guaranteed another life lost.
In just a moment, the Tang Manor was awash in blood, bodies lying lifeless everywhere.
"Hurry, hurry, archers, kill her!"
Finally, the fourth master of the Tang Family appeared.
His face was filled with terror as he stared at Tang Lu, who seemed like the Killing God incarnate.
Even among layers of protection from servants, the fourth master was still gripped by fear.
He had even brought along a group of archers.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
Arrows sliced through the air, speeding toward Tang Lu.
Bows and arrowsâsuch deadly weaponsâposed a real threat to Tang Lu.
Her movements were nimble.
Swift dodges and agile leaps amidst the rain of arrows. Yet the sheer number of arrows, wave after wave, poured down like relentless rainstorms.
No matter how greatly her physical capabilities had been enhanced, dodging all was impossible.
Even an enhanced body could not rival iron skin impervious to blades or bullets.
"Swish."
A faint tearing sound.
An arrow grazed Tang Luâs arm, bringing forth a cascade of blood.
Tang Lu quickly retreated several yards away.
Tang Lu was injured!
The fourth master of the Tang Family straightened, his expression lighting up with a gleam of a cold smile. "Tang Lu, dear niece, I truly didnât expect your skills to be so exceptional. But if youâd already escaped, you should have hidden your name forever and never shown yourself againâfor perhaps you might have eked out a pitiful existence."
"But you just had to be foolish enough to launch a solitary attack on the Tang Manor. Did Big Brother teach you despise caution and embrace recklessness?"
"Still, whatâs done is done. With you showing up here, youâll stay forever on this ground. When you die, your fourth uncle will ensure youâre given a grand burial!"
The fourth masterâs face contorted in a vicious, feral snarl.
He had feared that the escaped siblings would loom as a future threat.
Unexpectedly, Tang Lu served herself up like a gift, foolhardy in her return.
Truly, it was like searching high and low only to find what you sought without effort!
Tang Lu and her siblingâin their own doomed folly!
"Drip, drip."
Blood streamed down Tang Luâs arm, droplets hitting the ground with the soft rhythm of water dripping.
Facing dozens of archers, several guards armed to the teeth, Tang Luâs face grew dark as night.
She clenched her teeth tightly, her bitterness palpable.
Yet, despite her unwillingness to surrender, Tang Lu understood the reality clearly.
By herselfâeven with her physical enhancements ramped up by some two to three timesârevenge was an impossible feat.
"Master."
"Tang Lu is powerless... I must trouble Master to intervene..."
Suddenly, Tang Lu pivoted and knelt on one knee before a young man.
The young man held the hand of a small boy.
The boy was none other than the young master of the Tang Family!
This scene left many puzzled, slightly taken aback.
Even the fourth master of the Tang Family was stunned, his mouth gaping, his face filled with confusion.
"Master?"
The Tang Family members were utterly shocked.
Could it be that their esteemed eldest daughter Tang Lu had sold herself into servitude?
Or was this man someone extraordinary?
Yet upon closer examination, there were none following this young man.
He appeared alone.
"Fourth Master, what do you think..."
One of the guards hesitated.
He couldnât quite fathom the identity of this young man.
The fourth master steeled his resolve. He knew full well that if he didnât eliminate the Tang siblings today, he was the one who would fall victim next.
With this realization, the fourth master barked an order: "Fire! Kill Tang Lu and her sibling! And take down that young man. Iâll take full responsibility for whatever happens!"
No matter who the young man was.
Since he had dared meddle with Tang Family business, he would face the wrath of the fourth master without mercy!
Once again, the archers drew their bows without hesitation, unleashing another wave of arrows.
A dense cluster of arrows raining down, overwhelming everything, converged toward Lu Changsheng and Tang Lu.
Such concentrated showers of arrows were impossible for even the swiftest to evade.
