Chapter 365: Chapter 189: Capture_3

This series of changes, though intricate to narrate, took place in the blink of an eye.
After pulling down that man, Su Mo looked up and saw the moonlight cascading down from the sky, illuminating several thieves who were already pierced by numerous swords.
It was Wei Ziyi who had rushed out from the house, her longsword sweeping through the air, displaying its mighty power.
Elsewhere, there was someone hidden among the crowd, being escorted away by them.
But as they reached the edge of the roof, they saw another group on the rooftop opposite.
Four girls were carrying a soft sedan chair, upon which a young man in white was sitting.
A gentle breeze swept past, fluttering the long hair of the young man in white; his sleeves fluttered with the wind too, but only the large steamed bun in his hand exuded an enticing aroma, oddly juxtaposing the scene.
Subconsciously, everyone’s attention turned to the individual in the middle, who then softly said:
"Let’s go!"
These people seemed to trust him immensely, not even considering that the group before them might obstruct their path.
But just as they approached, the man in the middle suddenly had a whimsical idea:
"The girls are pretty; take two with us."
"Understood."
Someone responded, and as he leaped forward, he attempted to seize the two girls.
But at that moment, the sword tips were raised, and two splashes of blood painted the night sky.
The two attackers were dead on the spot.
"This is impossible!"
The leader of the group’s face suddenly changed.
"There’s nothing impossible about this... Ah!"
Little Situ’s words were cut off by a sharp exclaim, all because the four girls smoothly put down the sedan chair, not caring whether he would fall off the roof, and directly dashed forward.
The sedan slid down the roof, hanging precariously at an angle.
Fortunately, it came to a stop just before falling off.
Little Situ, terrified, shifted his balance backward and peeked nervously at the steepness of the rooftop and the wall across.
Then he glanced at the four girls who drew their swords in deadly arcs, feeling indignation but not daring to speak.
He could only vent his frustration on the steamed bun, biting into it forcefully as if to relieve his anger.
Meanwhile, the four girls had already lunged into the crowd.
The martial arts they employed belonged to a coordinated group attack technique.
Su Mo initially thought to step forward and lend a hand, but after observing for a while, he dismissed the thought and chose to watch with arms folded.
Each of these girls was a skilled fighter. Although they seemed to falter easily during the earlier encounter in the teahouse, it was due to the eldest of the Huai Mountain Five Tigers using an extremely vicious poison that couldn’t be allowed to contaminate them even slightly.
However, at present, even in individual combat, these boys were probably no match for the girls.
Not to mention when they were attacking together.
Su Mo’s martial arts insights were far superior to what they had been initially.
He noticed how the four girls took positions, each guarding one of the cardinal directions - east, west, south, north.
Although it seemed like they fought independently, their sword movements were intricately linked, continuous without break.
Their swords enclosed those who attempted to escape, forcing them back.
With four people, they surrounded seven or eight. freёweɓnovel.com
Beneath their sword edges, occasionally someone would fall off the rooftop, only to be captured by the staff of the escort agency.
"The Four Symbols Formation; quite interesting,"
Su Mo nodded slightly, just as the one surrounded in the middle seemed to shake his hand, possibly using some tactic.
However, the next moment, Little Situ’s voice could be heard coughing:
"It’s choking, really choking, you play dirty with your poisons.
"The taste is too pungent; tonight’s meal was the same, you didn’t even need chili for your poison.
"The harmony of the ministers and the balance of Yin Yang Five Elements, you can’t even master those, how dare you use poison?"
"You...?"
The man in the middle turned around abruptly, but by then, all his comrades had been taken down by the girls. Just as he turned back, four swords from four directions pointed at his neck, forming a lock made of blades.
"Brilliant!"
Applause came from one side; it was Wei Ziyi who had sheathed her sword by now:
"The skills of you sisters are indeed impressive; I too have studied swordsmanship somewhat. When I’m free later, I wonder if I could discuss and learn a thing or two from you?"
The girls glanced at her but said nothing.
But after merely pressing a few acupoints on the man, they returned to Little Situ and lifted his sedan chair.
Little Situ let out a long breath:
"Thank goodness you still have some conscience."
As soon as he said this, the four girls turned to look at him, their gazes cold.
He paled, forced a smile, and said: "The sisters have always taken good care of me."
"Humph."
All four scoffed at once, then leapt back into the courtyard.
Su Mo watched the back of Little Situ and others, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Quite stern."
Wei Ziyi came over to Su Mo, casually sheathing her sword, and said with a grin, "Actually, when I was young, I always wanted to be this kind of stoic female hero. It feels very... um, very powerful!"
"...Then why are you always so frivolous now?"
Su Mo gave her a look.
"Being frivolous depends on the person, okay? When we first met, I was still a bit stern."
"...Didn’t notice that."
Su Mo shook his head and whistled, before leaping down from the roof.
Manager He stood on one side, uneasy as he watched Su Mo.
Su Mo smiled. "Manager He, what’s wrong? Please, take a seat and rest."
"Su... Lord Su, the Chief, please, have mercy, don’t take it hard on an old man like me."
Manager He hurriedly said, "It was really helpless... I could only... only help them harm others.
"Today, seeing you all come, I thought there was a chance to escape the tiger’s mouth.
"Lord Su, please don’t... don’t blame... don’t blame me."
While speaking, he was about to kneel and kowtow.
Su Mo flicked his hand, and a gust of Inner Strength lifted him up, shaking his head slightly:
"Why would I, Manager He? If you hadn’t deliberately leaked information tonight, I might not have noticed anything amiss. How could I blame you?
"Besides, from everything I’ve heard tonight, I know Manager He had no choice.
"But there’s one thing I don’t understand and I’d like to ask for your guidance."
"Please ask!"
Manager He hastily said, "This old man will spare no words."
"Do you know when this group came here? From where?"
