Chapter 494: The Too Cruel Powder
Chapter 494: The Too Cruel Powder
Jin Sanniang emerged from the dark corridor with a dozen or so men. She sneered, "Where are you going?"
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others stopped in their tracks upon hearing this. Jin Sanniang appeared in front of them, while Pei Yan and Ouyang Tuoba stood in front of them, telling them not to be afraid.
Jin Sanniang said sarcastically, "Fang Xiaoxiao is indeed much more capable than I imagined, but no matter how capable she is, she is only a little bit clever."
Fang Xiaoxiao stepped forward, looked directly at Jin Sanniang, and said, "Jin Sanniang, don't be too smug. The outcome is still uncertain!"
Jin Sanniang laughed loudly: "You few dare to spout such nonsense?"
Pei Yan said, "Jin San Niang, you have committed many evils, today is your end!"
Jin Sanniang snorted: "Doomsday? I think it's your doomsday! Attack!"
Her men swarmed forward, but Pei Yan and Ouyang Tuoba were fearless and engaged in a fierce battle with them.
Fang Xiaoxiao, Li Wan'er, and Hongxiu watched anxiously from the side.
Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and she said to Li Wan'er and Hongxiu, "We can't just sit idly by. Let's see if there's anything we can do to help."
The three began searching the surrounding area.
Although Pei Yan and Ouyang Tuoba were highly skilled in martial arts, they gradually found themselves struggling due to the large number of opponents.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoxiao noticed a pile of miscellaneous items nearby, including several wooden sticks.
"Come quickly!" she called to Li Wan'er and Hongxiu.
They picked up wooden sticks and rushed to the battlefield.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Fang Xiaoxiao threw a wooden stick at an enemy, thus rescuing Pei Yan from danger.
Li Wan'er and Hongxiu also mustered their courage and fought against the enemy.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Sanniang took action herself.
She attacked Fang Xiaoxiao, who nimbly dodged.
"Little girl, today is your death day!" Jin Sanniang said viciously.
Just then, Ouyang Tuoba broke free from the enemies who were entangled with him, flew over, and began to fight Jin Sanniang.
For a moment, the situation became deadlocked.
While dealing with the enemy, Fang Xiaoxiao observed the situation and thought of a solution.
Suddenly, she noticed that there seemed to be a mechanism on one side of the corridor.
"Pei Yan, cover me!" Fang Xiao shouted.
Pei Yan fought off the enemies around him, creating an opportunity for Fang Xiaoxiao.
Fang Xiaoxiao rushed towards the mechanism and pressed a button.
Instantly, an iron gate fell down in the corridor, separating Jin San Niang and some of her men.
"Not good!" Jin San Niang's expression changed drastically.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others took the opportunity to concentrate their forces to deal with the remaining enemies.
After a fierce battle, the enemy was finally subdued.
Trapped on the other side, Jin Sanniang roared angrily, "Fang Xiaoxiao, you wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
Fang Xiaoxiao said, "If you've got the guts, then come out!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss their next plan.
"We need to get out of here quickly, or more enemies might be coming," Fang Xiaoxiao said.
Everyone nodded and continued along the corridor.
After they escaped, they found themselves in a deserted village. Before they could even react, they heard Jin Sanniang and her gang shouting behind them, "Catch them! Kill them all!"
Fang Xiaoxiao cried out in alarm, and Pei Yan immediately grabbed Fang Xiaoxiao's hand and ran for their lives. The others did not dare to slack off and followed closely behind.
Just as they were running for their lives, Jin San Niang's men gradually caught up.
Fang Xiaoxiao calmly took out a pink glass bottle from her bosom. Pei Yan looked surprised; he had never seen this before and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"
A smug smile instantly spread across Fang Xiaoxiao's face, her expression one of absolute certainty. She said mysteriously, "You'll see in a moment."
Looking at her confident demeanor, Pei Yan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
Li Wan'er and Hongxiu caught up, panting, and asked Fang Xiaoxiao what she was holding.
Fang Xiaoxiao's lips curled up, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes as she said, "It's a good thing. I wasn't planning on using it anymore."
Hongxiu asked curiously, "Why?"
Fang Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression somewhat solemn: "This medicine powder is too cruel."
Pei Yan seemed to have guessed something and couldn't help but interject, "Isn't that a bit too inhumane?"
Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly turned cold, and she said decisively, "What need is there for humanity when dealing with these villains!"
After saying that, she turned to Ouyang Tuoba and decisively ordered, "Ouyang Tuoba, sprinkle this powder over Jin Sanniang's side to block their way!"
Ouyang Tuoba took the bottle and turned to run towards Jin Sanniang without hesitation.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others quickly found a secluded spot to hide, keeping a close eye on Jin Sanniang's movements.
Ouyang Tuoba stood like a war god in the middle of the road, blocking Jin Sanniang and the others from pursuing him.
Jin Sanniang roared angrily, "Boy, how dare you block my way? Don't you want to live?"
Ouyang Tuoba showed no fear and coldly replied, "With me here, you won't get past me!"
Jin Sanniang was furious and waved her hand to order her men to attack.
Just then, following Fang Xiaoxiao's instructions, Ouyang Tuoba opened the bottle of medicine powder and suddenly sprinkled the powder at Jin Sanniang and the others.
Fang Xiaoxiao grinned wickedly, while Li Wan'er and Hongxiu curiously leaned closer to ask what kind of powder it was. Fang Xiaoxiao made a shushing gesture, indicating that they would find out soon.
Pei Yan felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that what was about to happen was probably extremely terrible.
As everyone was discussing the matter, Ouyang Tuoba, covering his nose, quickly walked towards Fang Xiaoxiao and the others. However, before he could reach Fang Xiaoxiao, a deafening scream erupted behind him. Jin Sanniang roared, "What are you doing? This is rebellion!" Then, Jin Sanniang burst into tears, followed by the sound of tearing clothes and a man's furious roar.
Pei Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and leaned closer to Fang Xiaoxiao, saying, "Wife, your methods are too terrifying. You should never use this pink powder indiscriminately in the future. It's too inhumane."
Fang Xiaoxiao answered very sincerely: "It is indeed too cruel. Next time, we need to reduce the dosage of the medicine powder."
At this moment, Li Wan'er and Hongxiu's faces were filled with embarrassment and fear.
Ouyang Tuoba stood there, completely numb, because he had witnessed what he considered the most cruel scene of his life. Jin Sanniang was surrounded by a group of burly men, who kept piling on top of her like a human pyramid—a truly unbelievable sight.
Unable to bear watching any longer, Ouyang Tuoba turned and walked towards Fang Xiaoxiao and the others like a robot.
When he walked up to Fang Xiaoxiao, his voice trembled as he said, "This, this is too..."
Fang Xiaoxiao said, "They have committed many evils, and this is the punishment they deserve."
Li Wan'er said somewhat fearfully, "But this is too..."
Fang Xiaoxiao sighed: "I know it's a bit excessive, but conventional methods are useless against these people."
Hongxiu asked, "Then what do we do now?"
Fang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment: "Let's leave here first; we shouldn't stay here any longer."
Everyone nodded in agreement and were about to leave when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
"Oh no, there might be new trouble ahead," Pei Yan said.
Fang Xiaoxiao's expression turned serious: "Everyone, be careful."
A group of men in black on horseback appeared before them, the leader of whom looked at them coldly.
"Who are you people?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked.
The man in black didn't speak, but simply waved his hand, and his men rushed towards them.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others had no choice but to fight again.
During the fierce fight, Fang Xiaoxiao discovered that these men in black were highly skilled in martial arts, and they gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.
“This can’t go on,” Ouyang Tuoba said.
Fang Xiaoxiao bit her lip: "Find an opportunity to break through."
Just as they were struggling to hold on, a bugle call came from afar.
Upon hearing the horn, the man in black suddenly stopped attacking, turned around, and rode away.
Fang Xiaoxiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on now?" Li Wan'er asked, puzzled.
Fang Xiaoxiao looked in the direction the man in black had left: "I don't know, but there's definitely a bigger conspiracy waiting for us."
Everyone looked exhausted as they groped their way forward in the dark.
