Chapter 678 216: The Jinyi Guard's Plot Unravels – Shi Feiyang's Counterattack (Part 4)
Shi Feiyang turned around, his posture upright like an ancient pine tree rooted in the ground, standing unyieldingly, embodying the spirit of a hero.
His gaze resolutely swept over the heroes of Xiongying, with an undeniable authority and confidence in his eyes.
His voice was steady and powerful, like the ringing of a grand bell, reverberating within the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall: "Brothers, quickly attend to the wounded, don't delay their treatment. At the same time, help the Lu Family pack their things meticulously and thoroughly. Shan Zhi, Xie Wen, you two immediately escort the Lu Family to the Shi Mansion in Suzhou Prefecture; be cautious along the way and ensure their safety."
His words flowed like a warm current through everyone's hearts, making them feel the strength of a guiding pillar.
Everyone clasped their fists in acknowledgment and moved with synchronized precision.
They quickly sprang into action, and in an instant, the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall was bustling with activity.
Everyone performed their duties, some busy bandaging the wounds of the injured, others meticulously packing the Lu Family's belongings, while some stood guard around the perimeter, preventing the enemy from attacking again, making full preparations for the Lu Family's relocation.
The moment of farewell arrived in a blink, and Lu Hongye couldn't bear to part with Shi Feiyang.
She quietly walked up to Shi Feiyang, her eyes filled with tender affection, as if about to transform into a clear spring to drown him.
Though she knew Shi Feiyang already had six wives and that Yang Xue'Er was deeply in love with him, she didn't mind at all.
On the contrary, she believed that so many beauties being enamored with Shi Feiyang was precisely because of his extraordinary charm.
He was handsome and dashing, with his black attire accentuating his upright posture and elegance; his martial arts prowess and renowned reputation in Jianghu made countless petty villains tremble in fear; his compassion for the world meant he always held the people's safety in his heart, like the brightest star in the night sky attracting many ladies' gazes. To Lu Hongye, being able to admire Shi Feiyang alongside many other remarkable women was a blessing.
She slightly lowered her head and said softly, "Young Master Shi, take care on your journey to the capital. Hongye hopes for our early reunion."
Her voice was gentle and melodious, like an oriole leaving the valley, filled with endless concern and longing. After speaking, she lifted her head, her eyes full of expectation and longing, giving Shi Feiyang a deep look, wanting to etch his image in her heart forever.
Then, Lu Hongye turned around and, with her family, embarked on the road to Suzhou Prefecture under the escort of Shan Zhi and Xie Wen.
Her figure gradually receded, disappearing into the hazy night.
However, danger lurked like a venomous snake hidden in the dark abyss, flicking its tongue, ready to strike, not yet departing.
Xie Zhichuan's wicked intentions remained, his triangular eyes glinting with a sinister light as he conspired with Lan Xiaodie and Dugu Yan.
The three of them sat in a dark corner, Xie Zhichuan speaking first, his voice low and insidious, "That Shi Feiyang is sure to bring Lu's father and daughter back to Jiangnan to settle. We must seize this opportunity to properly deal with him."
Lan Xiaodie frowned slightly, a hint of complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She had an entangled relationship with Shi Feiyang, with both fond memories of him saving her and resentment for her father being killed by him.
At this moment, she bit her lip and said softly, "But that Shi Feiyang is skilled in martial arts, we must act with caution."
Dugu Yan, with a shameless look, grinned and said, "What are we afraid of? We've meticulously planned, we're not afraid of taking him on? We'll make sure he pays dearly this time." The three exchanged words like three cunning foxes, scheming a vile plot.
Thus, Xie Zhichuan and his companions devised an elaborate disguise as a wedding escort team, lurking outside Luoyang City. They hid in a dense forest, eyes fixed on the only route, like hungry wolves waiting to pounce on their prey.
The sky was clear, and the sun shone unreservedly upon the earth, promising a peaceful and tranquil day.
Shan Zhi and Xie Wen escorted the Lu Family, moving slowly along.
The sound of hooves clattered, and the wheels rolled; the wedding procession appeared festive and lively. The flower carriage was lavishly decorated, red silk fluttering in the wind like a sea of red. Yet, it was merely the calm before the storm, with danger silently approaching.
As the flower carriage reached the crowd, the atmosphere suddenly turned eerie.
The previously bright sky seemed shrouded by this strange aura, making even the sunlight appear somewhat sinister.
Suddenly, the carriage door creaked open, as if it came from the depths of Hell, akin to a demon opening its bloody mouth.
In an instant, seventy-two deadly nails shot out like a torrential rain, with faint traces of toxic mist. The mist shimmered eerily under the sunlight, as though countless vengeful spirits were passing through it. The deadly nails whistled towards the crowd, the air filled with a strong scent of death.
Xie Wen reacted swiftly, like a meteor streaking through the night sky. He quickly flung out the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net; this was his unique hidden weapon. The Celestial Silkworm Silk Net instantly unfurled in the air, like a blossoming silver flower, beautiful yet hiding lethal intent.
With a series of "ding ding dang dang" sounds, the toxic nails were blocked by the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net. However, some nails still broke through the defense, continuing their assault.
In this critical moment, Lu Qiao's only concern was his daughter's safety.
Without hesitation, he reached out and pushed Lu Hongye behind him, moving swiftly and resolutely, erecting an unbreakable wall for his daughter.
The deadly nails heartlessly pierced through, puncturing his body with countless holes, black blood gushing out, looking particularly appalling under the sunlight. He let out a scream, his voice piercing, his body swayed a few times, and then slowly fell.
