Chapter 95
95 Unlucky Thieves
They waited. Before, there had been no movement at all.
Now, the two men who had gone over to help turned to look at Ma Zhao and the others with puzzled expressions.
“Aunt Cui, what do you think we should do?” Ma Zhao asked.
Aunt Cui thought for a moment and said, “Maybe the other party has already discovered you guys! There’s no need to climb over the wall. Just barge in!”
Ma Zhao felt that this was the case. Now that one of the nine of them had already been caught, they couldn’t lose any more.
“Let’s go! Unlock the door!” Ma Zhao said and led the remaining buddies straight up to the door.
However, as soon as they approached, they slipped and fell.
Ma Zhao and Lu An walked behind, so they were very lucky to escape.
“Heavens, the ground is so slippery!” Sun Wukong’s butt hurt from the fall and he immediately roared angrily.
“Shut up! Are you trying to alarm them?!” Ma Zhao immediately scolded in a low voice.
Before Sun Wukong could respond, something red suddenly floated out of the wall.
The group were caught off guard. Instantly, tears flowed down their faces.
“Damn, this is chili powder! It hurts. My eyes!” someone wailed.
This time, Ma Zhao was the first to be hit because he was standing.
At this moment, his tears kept flowing and they couldn’t stop.
Before they could react, another wave of small stones was thrown from the wall and hit these people.
Ma Zhao quickly ran away, but those who slipped on the ground were implicated.
They tried to get up, but fell again.
One fell, leaving two behind. Then it had a snowball effect.
It went on until everyone had learned their lesson and didn’t dare to stand up. They lay on the ground and slid down. When they reached a place where it wasn’t slippery, they slowly sat up and quickly fled the place.
Seeing this, Aunt Cui’s eyes were filled with disdain.
“Look at you. A bunch of useless men!”
With that, Aunt Cui tied the rope to the top of a tree and called Lu An over to guard the girl in the veiled hat.
Seeing that Aunt Cui was about to attack, the girl in the veiled hat immediately shouted, “The old witch is about to attack. Be careful!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Cui turned around and flicked a stone over. She tapped the girl’s mute acupoint and jumped onto the wall.
As soon as she landed on the wall, she saw a rock shooting at her.
Aunt Cui snorted and flicked her sleeve, easily slapping the stone to the ground.
“Hmph, it’s just a small trick! The people inside, listen up. If you know what’s good for you, come out and open the door yourself! I can let bygones be bygones, and I’ll spare you this time! If you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
The house was silent. No one made a sound.
When Aunt Cui saw this, she knew that the other party wouldn’t give in. She simply jumped off the wall and came to the door.
With a slap, the door was opened. Ma Zhao and the others walked over.
However, when he saw the smooth ground, Ma Zhao called for someone to take out a scimitar or sickle. He dug a few holes and cleared a path.
This time, the group of people finally entered the courtyard safely.
However, before they could think of anything, there was a sudden commotion. A fishing net appeared and instantly caught a group of people.
As Aunt Cui was standing at the edge, she quickly jumped into the grass on the other side when she heard the commotion.
However, as soon as she landed, she felt an intense pain in her feet.
She looked down and saw that the trap had caught her foot.
In pain, Aunt Cui furiously took out the whip hidden at her waist and wrapped it around the side to open the trap.
As the saying went, take advantage of one’s weakness to take one’s life. After Luo Cheng observed from the dark, he flew out and stabbed Aunt Cui…
Before the group of people trapped by the fishing net could struggle to break free, they had strength-weakening powder scattered on them by Li Xiaoran and the others. In the end, they couldn’t use any strength.
Big Yellow also rushed out with its companions and surrounded Ma Zhao and the others.
On the other side, Luo Cheng was already fighting with Aunt Cui. The trap was also broken by Aunt Cui.
However, Madam Cui was also injured and wasn’t as agile as before.
Luo Cheng attacked very calmly and secretly observed the woman’s flaws.
Due to Luo Cheng’s caution, he had never underestimated anyone, so he had always been careful and didn’t attack rashly.
Even though the other party was already exhausted, Luo Cheng still didn’t let his guard down.
“I didn’t expect to meet an opponent today. The younger generation will really surpass us! It seems that you’re not a simple hunter!” Aunt Cui stared at Luo Cheng and probed.
Luo Cheng didn’t reply at all and couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on Aunt Cui.
With Aunt Cui’s stamina, she probably wouldn’t be able to last long, not to mention that the other party’s right foot was injured!
Therefore, Luo Cheng wasn’t in a hurry at all. He attacked at a moderate speed, as if he was teasing his prey.
“Hmph, you’re so young, but you’re actually so vicious. You want to exhaust me to death!” Aunt Cui seemed to have seen through Luo Cheng’s thoughts and snorted coldly.
Luo Cheng remained silent and continued to attack.
Seeing this, Aunt Cui knew that if she didn’t escape today, she would be doomed.
After making up her mind, Aunt Cui used one hand to deal with Luo Cheng while taking out some powder from her pocket with the other.
But before she could move, she heard a voice.
“Cui Yueli, do you still want to see your son, Ah-Nan?”
As soon as she said this, Aunt Cui stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.
The person who said this was none other than Li Xiaoran.
Before Aunt Cui could ask anything, a cold sword pierced through her chest. Then, she fell to the ground.
Luo Cheng knew very well that his sword had pierced the other party’s vital points. The other party probably no longer had the ability to cause trouble.
However, these people were used to danger and always had backup plans, so they had to be on guard.
Therefore, Luo Cheng didn’t walk to Aunt Cui’s side. Instead, he walked towards Li Xiaoran and the others.
“How did you know? Where’s my Ah-Nan?” Aunt Cui knew that her days were numbered. Her eyes were filled with pleading as she looked at Li Xiaoran.
It was as if if Li Xiaoran didn’t give her an answer, she wouldn’t let her off even if she became a ghost!
