Transmigrated to Ancient Times as a Female Prison Guard

Chapter 59

Gong Xiaohua asked Yu Wei, "Head Yu, how are your injuries? Can you still fight?"

"Don't worry, I won't die."

"Then I'll leave Lord Li's safety to you first."

"You can rest assured that I definitely won't let them harm a hair on Lord Li."

"Hmm, then you all be careful."

"Still having time to worry about others, you should worry about yourself first!" The leader of the assassins sneered to the side.

"You talk too much. If I were an assassin, I wouldn't give the enemy any chance to catch their breath, but you made a fatal mistake common to assassins. So today you'll have to pay a painful price for it."

"Little girl, you're quite full of yourself despite being so young!"

"Less nonsense, let's make it quick."

As soon as she finished speaking, a short knife with a chain attached directly tore through the air towards the opponent's face.

The assassin leader calmly blocked the knife that flew towards him from ten steps away with his long sword in hand, while he himself was forced back several steps by the impact force of the short knife.

The assassin leader dismissed his contempt, as experts exchanging moves could expose the other's skill from the very first blow. Clearly, although the young woman in front of him was young, her fierce and vicious moves were no less than those killers.

Seeing that the opponent had just dodged the attack, Gong Xiaohua quickly retracted the short knife and swiftly combined it with another short knife in her other hand to form a double-edged dagger.

"Not bad, young lady. I haven't met a decent opponent for a long time. Come on!"

The assassin leader leapt up with his long sword stabbing towards Gong Xiaohua.

Gong Xiaohua held her short dagger and went forward to meet him. The long sword and short dagger collided quickly, clanging loudly with sparks flying everywhere.

The assassin leader was one of the top assassins in the jianghu. His long sword was as fast as the wind, leaving behind afterimages. But Gong Xiaohua's short dagger was swifter, easily fending off his long sword.

After a few exchanges, Gong Xiaohua's body flashed and her short dagger swept away the opponent's long sword. Her left wrist flicked and grabbed his right hand while her right hand stabbed towards his neck with the short dagger.

The assassin leader rolled sideways to break free of her grip on his wrist, but she still managed to leave a gash on his neck despite his superb skills, blood flowing freely.

"What the hell are you?" The assassin leader covered his neck in shock and fear.

He had fought many top dagger masters in jianghu before without falling behind. But now this little girl actually had such ghostly speed and formidable bladework that was unbelievable.

"A monster specifically targeting you." The girl said coldly.

"Everyone, go kill her!"

Nearly dozens of people behind the assassin leader rushed at Gong Xiaohua. Gong Xiaohua's body leapt up as her whirlwind legs lashed out kicks while her short dagger cut through the air. In an instant, four to five assassins dropped to the ground.

She then rolled on the ground and her dagger quickly slashed about. Screams filled the air all around.

At this moment, the assassin leader slashed at Gong Xiaohua from behind. Sensing it, Gong Xiaohua tilted her body forward and spun around. Her right hand stretched out with the short dagger stabbing into the assassin leader's abdomen. With another side roll, her dagger sliced open a huge wound across the assassin leader's belly.

Before the assassin leader could react, his body fell back with eyes wide open and dead.

The sudden change stunned everyone. The fight hadn't lasted long before Gong Xiaohua killed the leader of the assassins in such a grisly manner.

The assassins on the scene looked at their fallen leader on the ground, guts spilled open from belly to chest. Horrified, they fled frantically from there.

Seeing the assassins retreating, Xiao Fu and the others prepared to chase, but were stopped by Gong Xiaohua.

"Xiao Fu, don't pursue desperate enemies. Treating our own injuries is more important now."

"Yes, Master."

Everyone was wounded more or less, especially Head Yu Wei. After exchanging moves with the assassin leader at the start, he suffered a few sword wounds. The stab in his chest was most serious, nearly piercing his heart. He would have died and descended to the netherworld if it went any deeper.

Later, in guarding Lord Li's safety loyally without budging an inch, his blood loss became too heavy and caused him to faint unconscious.

Gong Xiaohua took out some self-made Hemostatic Powder from her body and applied it on Yu Wei's continuously bleeding wounds. Visibly the bleeding stopped under its effect.

She then wrapped bandages around Yu Wei's wounds.

"Master, what is this medicine? How can it stop bleeding so powerfully?"

"This is my self-made Hemostatic Powder for treating external injuries. Here, you and the others treat your wounds with it."

"Master, you're giving the medicine to us. What about your injuries then?"

"Just minor wounds, nothing to worry about." Saying so, she revealed a small cut on the back of her hand.

Seeing Master's only a tiny cut, Xiao Fu felt relieved. He took the Hemostatic Powder she handed over, but still applied some on the small cut on Gong Xiaohua's hand before leaving.

Seeing that the place was basically handled, Gong Xiaohua kept her dagger and went to the horse carriage. "My Lord, the enemies have retreated, it's safe now."

Lord Li got off the carriage and looked around. Corpses of assassins lay everywhere on the floor, while his side only had Yu Wei lying unconscious on the ground. The rest stood nearby tending to their wounds.

"Thanks for your hard work. Yu Wei's fine, right?"

"Please rest assured, my Lord. Head Yu Wei merely fainted from blood loss."

"Good then."

"Yes, my Lord. But it's no longer safe here. We should leave this place quickly before the enemies counterattack."

"You're all injured. Can you still travel, especially Yu Wei?"

"Don't worry, my Lord. Our injuries are insignificant. It'll just trouble my Lord to share the carriage with Head Yu Wei from now on."

"It's fine. Bring Yu Wei into the carriage and we'll depart immediately."

In a secret chamber of a manor in the countryside far away, a man sitting highest smashed the armrests beside him with a palm strike.

"I thought dispatching Fifth Brother and over twenty assassins would be more than enough to kill them."

"Who knew a young girl not only easily killed Wuji Sect's Fifth ranked assassin, but nearly wiped out the over twenty assassins sent together!"

"Door Master, the messenger said the girl wielded a short blade as fierce as a tiger, killing more ruthlessly and decisively than them. Making Fifth Brother last merely over ten moves against her was like a vicious demon from hell that scared them witless."

"So incredible..."

"Summon Second Master from Nanlong."

"Yes, Door Master. About that, should we ask them to raise the price with Second Master dispatching personally, considering the huge loss of so many brothers this time?"

"They must account for such damages on their heads. Along with Second Master's fee, negotiate the compensation to five times the original, otherwise we won't entertain them."

"Understood, I'll handle it now."

"Let's see how they can keep living after pitting Second Brother, even stronger than that palace girl, against them."
