Chapter 436: Chapter 432: Bad guy_1
Yingbao rushed out of the courtyard, reaching the mansion’s gate in one breath.
There were quite a few carriages outside the gate, as well as horses that hadn’t been unsaddled yet.
Grabbing a horse from a servant, she leapt onto its back and galloped toward the location described in the book.
People didn’t understand why but instinctively felt something serious had occurred.
More people then rushed out from the mansion. Among them were Jiang Sanlang, Jiang Quan, and Huzi.
Scrambling onto horses, they chased in the direction Yingbao had taken.
However, the streets were crowded with people, leaving them no choice but to rein in their horses.
Watching Yingbao’s figure disappear around a corner, Jiang Sanlang was burning with anxiety.
In a separate courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
Xiao Chengjun and a veiled Chen Tiantian entered a room.
Inside the room, a frightened seven-year-old Jiang Dali retreated, hiding behind a little boy and Xiao Chengyu.
Xiao Chengyu barked at Xiao Chengjun, “Brother! Have you gone mad? Why did you knock out Brother Jiang?”
Xiao Chengjun’s gaze was ice-cold. With a small nod, two men came forward, bound Xiao Chengyu, gagged him, and tossed him aside.
The fat little boy cried out and kicked wildly. His own legs were soon bound and he was thrown to one side.
The little boy merely blinked, watching the scene unfold, not moving a muscle.
Chen Tiantian stroked his head, her voice warm, “Yuanlang, you did well. When we’ve dealt with the Jiang family, we’ll go find your father.”
The little boy glanced at Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu, lying on the ground covered in blood, then at Xiao Chengyu with a guilty look, and nodded.
“Yuanlang, go outside for now. Go to your mother.” Chen Tiantian added, even giving the little boy a light push. “You don’t need to feel guilty. The Jiang family deserves to die. They’ve caused our family to become broken and disintegrated. This is just their retribution.”
The little boy left the room silently, head bowed.
That morning, he’d lured Xiao Chengyu to the Jiang household, deceived the Jiang family kids out of the city and sent a message to Jiang Jie that Jiang Dali had sprained his ankle on the outskirts of town and needed help.
Not only did Jiang Jie arrive, but so did Jiang Wu, both bringing four bodyguards.
That group was nothing to them and was captured without a fight.
The four bodyguards of the Jiang family had been slain, Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu wounded and now lay unconscious.
The little boy did not feel guilty but regretted that he would no longer be able to come to the Jiang house to drink juice.
When the boy left, Chen Tiantian gave Xiao Chengjun a faint smile, “Chengjun, let’s start.”
She’d recently acquired a secret formula from a sorcerer, claiming that using the blood and personal effects of an enemy could break a curse.
She had a lock of hair from Jiang Yingbao and a voodoo doll inscribed with Yingbao’s name. Along with the blood from the Jiang boys, they should be able to lift the curse.
Xiao Chengjun nodded, asking, “We really don’t need that sorcerer to do it?”
“No, we have the yellow talisman given by the Taoist. We just need to recite the spell.” And if it didn’t work, they would find a way to kill Jiang Yingbao.
Chen Tiantian touched her face.
It was peeling and quite frightful.
Had there been a chance to kill Yingbao, she wouldn’t have had to hurriedly use the boy as a substitute.
The truth was, she couldn’t wait any longer.
Death loomed like a sword hanging over her head. She felt tortured every second, fearing she might drop dead at any moment.
In desperation, she sought help from a folk healer, learning how to exchange lives.
The Taoist gave her a talisman, suggesting she could use the fresh blood of Jiang Yingbao’s relatives instead of her own, which might also work.
Chen Tiantian took out the Yellow Talisman and ordered Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu’s blood to be drawn.
She also demanded the servants to drain all the blood from the two men.
“Evil people! Evil people!” Upon seeing someone with a knife and bucket approaching his uncle, Jiang Dali screamed in fright and threw himself onto Jiang Wu in an attempt to wake him up.
In reality, Jiang Wu was awake, but both he and Jiang Jie were tightly bound and could not move at all.
“Don’t worry, soon it will be your turn.” Chen Tiantian laughed cheerfully, ordered her men to hang Jiang Dali aside, and said in a soft voice, “Little thing, watch carefully, they were all killed by that disaster, Jiang Yingbao. If it were not for your Jiang Family adopting her, how could you have met with such disaster?”
Upon hearing her say this, Jiang Dali suddenly stopped crying and shouted loudly, “You are the disaster! My aunt will come to rescue us soon, you liar! My father will never forgive you!”
Chen Tiantian covered her mouth and chuckled, “Your aunt is busy getting married, she has no time to save you. Boy, don’t believe it? Just wait and see, even when your uncles turn into mummies and get burned to ashes, she won’t even take a look at you.”
Jiang Dali turned terribly pale, his lips trembling. He turned his gaze to his uncles lying on the ground and couldn’t stop the tears from falling.
It was his fault that his uncles were in this predicament. If he hadn’t been so playful, he wouldn’t have been lured to the outskirts of the city by the children and his uncles wouldn’t have come to find him.
“I’m sorry, Uncle Jie, Uncle Wu… sob… sob…” Jiang Dali could not stop crying.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling noise from outside, as if the house had collapsed.
Xiao Chengjun frowned and went out to check.
Chen Tiantian suddenly felt a bit nervous and quickly urged the servants, “Hurry up! Cut deeper!”
The servant’s hands were shaking, he hesitated at Jiang Jie’s neck, then turned him over and stabbed Jiang Jie’s wrist, causing blood to spray out.
Jiang Dali cried out louder, “Uncle, wake up and fight them! Wake up and fight them!”
At this moment, Jiang Jie’s vision was getting darker and he quickly lost consciousness.
Jiang Wu’s eyes were blood-red, he roared and struggled to loosen the rope a bit using his great strength, quickly drawing out one arm, but before he could get up, he was pinned down again by several people.
Jiang Wu’s struggled violently, and the skin and flesh on his arms writhed, revealing the bones underneath.
Suddenly, constant screams came from outside, accompanied by deafening rumbles, it was terrifying.
Chen Tiantian was also getting scared, she instructed the servants to tie up the Jiang brothers properly and ran out to check by herself.
When she looked out, it almost caused her jaw to drop.
There she saw, Jiang Yingbao wielding a long blade, killing anyone who blocked her path. She had already killed more than a dozen assassins and was heading towards them.
Xiao Chengjun led a group of people to surround her, sneering continuously, “Jiang Yingbao, you’re seeking your own death!”
Yingbao didn’t utter a word and raised her long blade to slash him.
The long blade seemed to carry the power of thunder, directly crushing several servants and bodyguards.
Xiao Chengjun avoided it quickly since he was in the back, and narrowly escaped the blade. He was utterly terrified.
When did Jiang Yingbao learn the Unparalleled Divine Power? All his guards couldn’t stop a single woman.
“Fire arrows!” Xiao Chengjun retreated behind a rockery and yelled loud commands.
But the archers had not even had a chance to draw their bows fully when they were slashed by Yingbao who was rushing forward.
Not only that, but she leapt in front of Xiao Chengjun and cleaved him in two with one stroke, leaving him no chance to escape.
As Xiao Chengjun fell to the ground, Yingbao suddenly felt a severe pain all over her body. She looked down at her arm and saw thin, dense scratches spreading across it like a spider web.
She wrinkled her eyebrows, without time to think why, and turned her gaze towards Chen Tiantian who was not far away.
Frightened, Chen Tiantian screamed and turned around to run back inside.
