Chapter 1296: A Woman With Guts
"Woman, you’re brave!" the man praised, then shouted to the others, "Everyone, get her together!"
To complete the mission, they wouldn’t care about gaining an advantage with numbers or any other rules. They just wanted to finish the job so they could report back.
The assassins made their move together, and Jiang Xue didn’t dodge. She directly confronted them head-on, although she alone faced five opponents.
Yet, Jiang Xue was unafraid. Courage prevails when heroes meet on the narrow path. Besides, these people wanted to take her life.
She was still so young, having already faced death once, but she valued her life greatly. Thus, she couldn’t die at the hands of these people; she had to win.
With this in mind, Jiang Xue immediately used her Spiritual Power. Although her hand-to-hand skills were decent, they were far less powerful than Spiritual Power. So, to win and save her life, she had to wield her Spiritual Power.
Once her Spiritual Power emerged, those people were momentarily dumbfounded. Only then did they understand why the ones sent out last night didn’t return. Jiang Xue might look like a fragile girl, but she was anything but weak. Moreover, in solo combat, none of them were a match for her.
Now, with their group of five against Jiang Xue, it was barely a draw. If one of them got injured, they’d quickly fall behind.
Just as they thought this, a shriek broke out as one of their own got hurt. Seeing their companion wounded, the assassins felt incredibly vexed and furious.
They were assassins, carefully selected from thousands, yet they were harmed by a young girl. How shameful that was!
The one who screamed was badly injured by Jiang Xue, collapsing on the ground unable to get up. Jiang Xue had struck hard, intending to ensure they couldn’t continue fighting. With their numbers reduced, her burden diminished significantly.
With one down, Jiang Xue felt much relieved and started searching for her next target. However, the assassins, mindful of their companion’s injury, exercised much more caution, avoiding letting Jiang Xue get close.
But Jiang Xue paid no mind to such things. If the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain. If she started passively reacting, now with these people deliberately avoiding her, she turned from defensive to offensive.
She infused Spiritual Power throughout her body, then moved like a ghost, swiftly closing in on the assassins, striking fast, giving the assassins quite a headache.
Because before they could clearly see her, they’d already been struck and injured. This made the assassins incredibly vexed, anxious, and resentful, yet they couldn’t do anything about Jiang Xue.
As time went by, nearly all the assassins sustained injuries, though some worse than others, with some hit in vital spots, others in limbs.
Due to injuries, the assassins slowed down, while Jiang Xue also reduced her speed, targeting those who were severely wounded.
Thus, more and more of them were battered and sprawled on the ground, unable to rise. From the beginning, one, then two, then four. Out of the total of five, four were already down, leaving only one struggling on.
He wanted to flee, but Jiang Xue, being who she was, wouldn’t let him escape. Moreover, Jiang Xue was quick, no matter which direction he tried to run, he’d always find Jiang Xue blocking his path when he raised his head.
Unable to flee, the man was enraged, looking at Jiang Xue with hatred, as if he wanted to devour her.
