Chapter 24: Risking one's life (Part 2)

Compared to a hairpin with too low attack power, a knife is of course better. After all, she had not practiced enough, and her original target was the carotid artery in her neck, but she missed by an inch.

The man covered his bleeding neck with his hands, furious. He pulled out the hairpin, took a look at it and threw it on the ground, laughing angrily, "The good daughter of the Hua family, not bad, very courageous!"

At this point, how could he not know to turn on the light in the house? It was a planned plan for the master and servant to come out of the house, but he actually capsized in the gutter.

"Do you think you can escape with just this little trick of yours?" The man's face was full of hostility, and he walked towards Hua Zhi step by step.

Hua Zhi stepped back step by step and led people into the yard.

Before she saw the man's face, she guessed that he was injured, and it turned out to be true.

The rain would obstruct her vision, but it would also speed up a man's bleeding. As long as she delayed it a little longer, and when he was no longer able to cope with the attack, she could call on the three guards for help, and she might be able to kill him.

But before that, she had to make sure she stayed alive.

The man attacked her quickly. She didn't dare to confront him head-on, let alone take his attack.

She couldn't catch it.

She had to find a way to get the knife out of the opponent's hand. She had learned close combat skills, which could only be used at close range. However, she was weak, and one attack was her limit, and she had to pay a price for it.

However, the opponent was obviously not going to give her a chance to live any longer. No matter how fast she retreated, she could not be as fast as the opponent's attack. Every attack of the dagger was meant to take her life.

Hua Zhi had to try her best every time she took the attack, and soon her breathing became heavy.

This body had never been trained, and it lacked strength, with its hands and feet unable to keep up with the brain's commands. After the dagger cut her arm, she became ruthless and, risking getting injured again, attacked him in the face. While the other party subconsciously used the dagger to parry, she used all her strength to pierce the wound on the man's waist with the silver hairpin hidden in her other hand, and the man screamed in pain.

This was not over yet. Hua Zhi suddenly withdrew her previous attack, and the knife penetrated straight into the opponent's wound. She twisted it forcefully, and without any obstruction, the man's dagger fell on her shoulder. If she had not reacted quickly and moved away a little, the dagger would have been stuck in her throat.

Even so, she remembered to pull out her knife when she retreated, but the opponent's dagger remained on her, and the man finally had no weapon in his hand.

She had always been cruel to herself. While the man was still recovering, she lifted up his shirt, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth. She then grabbed the dagger and pulled it out forcefully, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Even though she was shaking with pain all over, it seemed like it had no effect on her. She attacked the man with a knife in one hand and a dagger in the other. The man rolled twice on the ground, stood up quickly, and looked at Hua Zhi with a fierce look as if he wanted to eat her.

Hua Zhi continued to attack without stopping. She couldn't stop because she was afraid that if she stopped, she would fall down.

The man bent his body, like a bow ready to strike. Hua Zhi knew that she had underestimated the man and his resilience. Perhaps she would have to die here today.

But even if she dies, she will make the other party pay the price. As long as she gives him another heavy blow, Wu Da and the others will be able to deal with him.

Baoxia and the others are protective of their master. After today's life-saving grace, they will definitely protect Berlin in the future. The only person she can take care of now is Berlin.

Just... I'm sorry, Grandpa.

With the determination to die, Hua Zhi increased her speed by two points, but the disparity in strength still caused her to be thrown out.

But even so, she held on to the knife and dagger and did not let go.

The man walked towards Hua Zhi with a cruel grin on his face. Seeing that the other party wanted to stand up but couldn't, he became even more excited as if he had taken an aphrodisiac.

"Miss!"

The maids were crying and were about to rush into the yard, but Wu Da and a few others stood in front of them and pushed them back. After looking at each other, they grabbed sticks and bricks that could be used as weapons and walked into the yard.

They ate the Hua family's food, and as bodyguards, even if they were afraid, there was no reason for them to hide behind and wait for others to protect them while Miss Hua was fighting in the front.

After all, if they died here, the Hua family would not treat the old and young in the family unfairly. If the young lady of the Hua family died here while they were fine, they could not imagine what would be waiting for them.

The three men who had prepared themselves for death seemed to have gained confidence in their hearts. They quickened their pace and rushed forward, trying to stop the criminals.

But what was faster than them were the arrows that broke through the air.

The arrow pierced through the gangster who was only three steps away from Hua Zhi. The powerful force made the gangster retreat several steps and fall to the ground.

A team of people wearing raincoats and rain hats with black scarves covering their faces appeared silently in the yard. The man in the lead was holding a bow in his hand, and it was obvious that he was the one who shot the arrow before.

The villain's face changed drastically, he got up and was about to run, but a long whip came towards him as if it had life, wrapped him up and slammed him to the ground. The man screamed in pain, and felt that the hairpin that was originally pierced in his wound was completely nailed into his body.

Wu Da and the other two took advantage of this opportunity to come to Hua Zhi, surrounded her, and looked at the sudden group of people with vigilance.

Baoxia and others didn't care about anything else and wanted to break through the blockade of the men in black to get to the young lady. They now had only one thought in their minds, even if they died, they wanted to die before the young lady!

The man in black would naturally not let anyone pass without receiving an order. Without any extra moves, he just stretched out his hand to make them helpless.

Bao Xia knelt down heavily and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please let us pass, I beg you."

Several other maids followed her, and the sound of their kowtows could not even cover the sound of the rain.

The man in black just remained silent and did not move.

The leader dropped his bow and walked towards Hua Zhi. Wu Da and the other two tried to stop him, but he kicked them away one by one and looked at the woman who had barely sat up.

Her wet hair was draped over her body, her shirt was stained red with blood, her face and mouth were pale, and she was clearly at the end of her strength. Her hand holding the dagger was shaking, but she still held the knife across her chest. She believed that if she made the slightest movement, she would fight to the death.

So he didn't come closer, but took out two porcelain bottles from his arms and put them on the ground, then led everyone away without saying a word.

Baoxia ran and crawled over, tears streaming down her face along with the rain. She and Nianqiu each helped the man up and walked into the house.

Fu Dong sat on the ground several times and couldn't get up. Liu Xiang hurried forward to help him.

"Go to the kitchen, help me to the kitchen." Fu Dong's voice was choked with sobs, "The others should change into dry clothes first, the young lady will need someone to serve her later."

"yes."

Baoxia and Nianqiu changed the young lady's clothes while crying, and their tears flowed even faster when they saw the three bloody wounds.
