Chapter 249 - 249 Double Stab



He spoke to Prince Min, “Did you see that? You risked your life with Duke Lang, but he didn’t care if your son died.”

Prince Min looked at Duke Lang with pleading eyes.

“Xiao Juan, Ah Xu is my only child. He’s my lifeblood. Please, save him.”

Xiao Juan looked back at Yu Niaoniao.

Although he did not say anything, Yu Niaoniao suddenly understood his thoughts.

She took a silent step to the side as she reached for the bow she was carrying.

Xiao Juan was silent for a while as if he had made a huge decision.

“I can surrender, but you have to let Shen Xu go first.”

Shen Xu thought that Duke Lang would disregard his life like last time. He had already prepared for the worst. At most, he would die. As long as his father could escape alive, he would be relieved.

Unexpectedly, Duke Lang was willing to compromise in order to save his life. Shen Xu was immediately moved to tears.

Brother! He risked his life to save him. This was a real brother!

In the future, if anyone dared to say anything bad about Duke Lang, he would twist that person’s head off and kick it like a ball!

Du Tao said sarcastically, “Do you think you still have the capital to negotiate with me?”

Xiao Juan said coldly, “If I risk everything to fight you, you might not be able to escape unscathed. This is my capital.”

Du Tao had fought him before, so he naturally knew how strong he was. If he really had to risk his life, he would definitely not end up well.

This was also the main reason why Du Tao used Shen Xu as a hostage to force Duke Lang to surrender.

Du Tao thought for a moment. “I can let him go. Throw your saber over first.”

As long as he did not have any weapons, Duke Lang’s strength would be greatly reduced.

Xiao Juan untied the No Return Saber at his waist.

His well-defined fingers moved slowly across the sheath as if he were bidding farewell.

He bent down, put the knife on the ground, and pushed it forward. The No Return Saber slid forward against the ground.

Du Tao laughed proudly.

“Hahaha! Duke Lang, you deserve this!”

Xiao Juan stood up. “You should let him go now, right?”

“Alright, I’ll let the heir go now.”

Du Tao let go of Shen Xu and signaled to the personal guards to attack immediately.

No one in this house could escape today. They had to die!

Shen Xu staggered towards Prince Min.

“Father!”

At the same time, the personal guards rushed forward and pounced on Xiao Juan.

Du Tao thought that Xiao Juan would definitely die this time and was extremely pleased. When people were smug, they tended to forget.

Yu Niaoniao had been waiting for this moment when the other party let down his guard. She quickly pulled back the bowstring and shot a sharp arrow straight at Du Tao’s heart!

When Du Tao saw the approaching arrow, his heart stopped and his pupils trembled.

However, he was a veteran of the battlefield and had struggled on the line several times. His reaction was naturally not slow.

He forcefully twisted his upper body to avoid vital parts. The arrow grazed his arm, sending out a trail of blood.

Du Tao paled in pain and staggered back a step. The personal guards were shocked by this sudden change.

They involuntarily stopped in their tracks and looked at Du Tao in unison, afraid that something would happen to him.

Xiao Juan took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and pick up the No Return Saber at lightning speed.

With a whoosh, the blade was unsheathed and swept out. The soldier closest to him had his throat slit and died on the spot.

Blood splattered on Xiao Juan’s face, like small red plums blooming on cold white rice paper. Coupled with his cold gaze, it made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. It was bone-chilling.

Everyone present was shocked.

Even Yu Niaoniao was stunned.

Usually, when Xiao Juan faced her, he appeared very restrained and calm. He was also very respectful to her. He was completely different from the rumored living King of Hell who killed people like flies.

As time passed, Yu Niaoniao gradually felt that the rumors were exaggerated. Xiao Juan was not a ruthless person at all.

But at this moment, seeing Xiao Juan end a person’s life without blinking, she was jolted to reality.

The rumors might not be exaggerated. The Xiao Juan who usually lived with her had just deliberately restrained his edge. The current Xiao Juan might be the real him.

Du Tao was shocked and furious. He roared, “Bitch! You actually plotted against me! What are you waiting for? Kill them!”

The personal guards suddenly came back to their senses. They suppressed the fear in their hearts and pounced at Duke Lang!

Xiao Juan fought ten people alone, but he was not at a disadvantage at all.

The No Return Saber in his hand was wrapped in a biting cold air. Wherever it passed, no one lived.

In just a moment, more than a dozen soldiers fell.

Blood slowly spread under them.

The rich smell of blood filled the entire room.

...

Everyone was stunned. They didn’t even dare to breathe.

They looked at Xiao Juan with fear. It was not like they were looking at a living person, but a terrifying monster.

Xiao Juan walked towards Du Tao with the No Return Saber.

Dark red blood dripped down the tip of the knife.

Tick, tick.

Every drop hit Du Tao’s heart, making his scalp tingle and his fear double.

He hurriedly retreated and shouted fiercely, “I’m warning you, don’t come over. I still have people here!”

With that, he shouted.

He wasn’t speaking the official Dayan language. It was a string of words that no one understood.

Only Lu Yaoguang could vaguely understand a few words.

He hurriedly said, “Du Tao is speaking the Chen language!”

...

As Liaodong County was bordering the Chen Country, Lu Yaoguang had captured many spies sent by the Chen Country in his capacity as the county governor of Liaodong County. In order to better interrogate the Chen Country’s spies, he had learned the Chen Country’s language for a period of time, so he had a good understanding of it.

Prince Min was puzzled. “Why does Du Tao speak the Chen language?”

Apart from Du Tao himself, no one present could give an accurate answer.

A man jumped off the roof and landed steadily in front of Du Tao.

This person was wearing ordinary dark gray rough clothes. His face was dark, and his facial features were rough. There was a scar at the corner of his eye.

When he looked at Xiao Juan, his eyes flashed with bloodlust.

In the next moment, he pulled out the short dagger hidden in his sleeve and rushed towards Xiao Juan like a ghost!

Xiao Juan raised his saber to fight.

The two of them were as fast as lightning. Sparks flew as their weapons kept colliding.

When experts fought, others could not interfere at all and could only stand at the side and watch.

To someone like Yu Niaoniao, who had no training in martial arts at all, she could only see two shadows flying around. She could not see their exact movements at all.

However, from the current situation, Xiao Juan should have the upper hand.
