Chapter 654 - 654 Counterattack (2)
Zhou Ying was worried about Gu Chenglin. So, she entered the room and brought Gu Chenglin, who was already sitting on the ground, along with her.
At this moment, Gu Chengrui stood before a window and shouted, “Retreat and defend! Split up as soon as possible!”
Zhou Huaiming heard his shout and paused momentarily before ordering his soldiers, “Listen up, fight while retreating! Pull away as soon as possible!”
The other party wasn’t stupid. They knew immediately that without mixing with the enemy, something bad might befall them.
Therefore, they closed the distance and stuck closely together.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he did not get angry. He did not mean to force them to separate. Instead, he wanted his people to retreat to the opposite side of him as far as possible.
Then, he marked a few of the stronger assassins and started shooting them with his crossbow.
After five assassins died in a row, the assassins’ leader was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He immediately shouted, “Send five people to kill him!”
Five people immediately left the team and ran toward the small building as soon as they heard his orders.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being ambushed, the few of them ran separately and entered the building before gathering together.
Gu Chengrui turned to Zhou Ying and said, “I’ll leave it to you.”
Zhou Ying nodded and went forward to grab her knife. She also held two bags of knockout powder and two bags of itching powder and went out. When Gu Chenglin saw this, he took two deep breaths and chased after her. “Cousin-in-law, I’ll go with you.”
“Good kid, let’s go together.” Zhou Ying patted his shoulder.
However, she did not dare to let him fight head-on. Instead, she told him to hide behind the wall. If someone came up, he could launch a sneak attack.
Gu Chenglin had just hidden when the five men in black rushed in. They did not take her to heart when they saw that there was only Zhou Ying.
They quickly rushed up.
Gu Chenglin was so frightened that his eyes were tightly shut, but his hand tightly gripped the knife.
Zhou Ying smiled. After the men in black went up the stairs, she threw out the itching powder. She also quickly tore the paper bag with her spiritual sense and scattered it among the five people as much as possible.
The five of them stopped in their tracks, but it was already impossible for them to retreat. They braced themselves and charged forward.
But after a moment, the five of them were so itchy that they couldn’t even hold their knives steadily.
However, the first men had rushed up. No matter what, he had to kill the couple.
“Chenglin!” Zhou Ying shouted.
Gu Chenglin subconsciously slashed his knife.
That assassin was shocked. He thought that he had been ambushed and immediately dodged.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she quickly moved forward, stabbed him in the heart, and kicked him down.
Two of the other four assassins fell, too. The itch was so piercing that they couldn’t even move.
The remaining two people were shocked and trembled, as it was too itchy. They looked at Zhou Ying and did not know whether to retreat or advance.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying smiled and rushed into the room quickly. She pulled out the washbasin and shelf to block the door.
At the same time, the two men in black also took the opportunity to rush up.
Gu Chenglin was about to step forward to stop them, but Zhou Ying threw him to the side. She raised the wooden basin in her hand and smashed it down onto a head.
The man subconsciously dodged.
The assassin behind him immediately hid in the same direction as him.
At this moment, Zhou Ying once again dashed out and finally hit one of the men with her wooden basin.
She stabbed the other with her knife, and the two men fell, screaming.
Zhou Ying heaved a sigh of relief and turned her head to ask, “Chenglin, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Gu Chenglin replied excitedly.
“Very good. Bring a few oil lamps over.” Zhou Ying patted his shoulder and said..
