I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 297 Battle Against Human Traffickers

Upon hearing this, the human traffickers didn't seem afraid at all; instead, a hint of excitement appeared on their faces.

They seem quite confident.

That's incredibly arrogant.

One of the traffickers drew a large knife from his waist and charged towards Lei Chong, roaring, "Hmph, where did this fool come from, daring to ruin our plans? Prepare to die!"

Lei snorted coldly as he watched the person rushing towards him, his body remaining as still as a mountain, waiting for the large sword to strike.

He suddenly shifted his body to the side, slipping out of the opponent's attack range like a fish swimming.

At the same time, his longsword flashed out like lightning, and with a flash of cold light, the trafficker's wrist was cleanly severed.

That speed was incredibly fast and precise!

The broadsword clattered to the ground, and the human trafficker let out a pitiful scream.

But he only managed to utter one sound before being struck unconscious by lightning.

It's so late at night, if they attract people, things will get complicated. Not a single one of them will be able to escape tonight.

Seeing this, the other human traffickers threw off the sacks on their shoulders, took out their weapons, and roared as they charged toward Lei, Feng, and Gu Chenglin, attempting to overwhelm them with their numbers.

But the wind moved through them like a ghost, and with each swing of the longsword, every move was precise and ruthless.

He would sometimes leap up, his long sword descending from the sky like a dragon soaring through the heavens;

He would sometimes bend down, the tip of his sword slicing across the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

A human trafficker tried to ambush Gu Chenglin from behind, but the guy seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

He suddenly turned around, swung his longsword in the backhand, and a deep gash was slashed open in the chest of the trafficker, who screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Another human trafficker brandished an iron bar and charged at Feng, but Feng flashed and appeared beside him. With a flick of his longsword, the iron bar flew several feet away.

Dongfang Jin and the others watched the three of them fight with the human traffickers, their blood boiling with excitement, their eyes glued to their every move.

"This is the power of real combat."

Fang Shiyu nodded: "I've seen it for myself."

Xie Wenke: "What we lack is real combat experience."

Dongfang Jin: "They have guts. No matter who it is, they both have people on their hands."

Does that mean you guys can do it?

Gu Chenglin, on the other hand, exuded such murderous aura that it almost materialized, and his attacks were ruthless and vicious.

Needless to say, Feng and Lei, as secret guards, had survived countless battles.

That move struck right at the vital points, not fatal, but enough to spare the lives of these human traffickers.

The battle continued, and Lei, Feng, and Gu Chenglin's movements became increasingly fierce. Their longswords seemed to come alive, each swing accompanied by a whistling sound.

The twelve human traffickers were all skilled in martial arts, and they were all defeated by the three of them.

Some were pierced through the chest by longswords, some had their limbs severed, some were kicked away and slammed heavily against the wall, and others...

Finally, when the last human trafficker fell, Lei, Feng, and Gu Chenglin sheathed their swords.

Lei and Feng acted as if nothing had happened, but Gu Chenglin's breathing became somewhat rapid, though his eyes were even more determined.

As Lei looked toward where they were hiding, Dongfang Jin immediately led Fang Shiyu and the other four out.

She could see the murderous intent in Lei's eyes and the way he touched his waist.

They arrived at the sacks lying haphazardly, quickly untied them, and rescued the children.

The children looked at them in horror and saw that the human traffickers were lying on the ground in a sorry state.

The children's eyes held both fear and gratitude as they looked at the group, as if they were seeing a ray of salvation in their lives.

When Lei saw that the person who rushed out was Dongfang Jin, he couldn't help but look at Gu Chenglin.

Gu Chenglin was stunned to see Dongfang Jin and the other six standing there stiffly, somewhat at a loss.

Did your wife see what just happened?

Is she afraid?

Will you look down on him?

Feng glanced at Lei, and the two of them tacitly slipped away.

The lady didn't seem to like them very much, so they didn't need to stay here.

They had just met their master and were looking forward to getting acquainted with the family, but instead encountered several dogs chasing after them. They also saw several dogs that had been stabbed to death along the way.

At the same time, they heard the sounds coming from inside the sack, which is why they chased after them.

Ma Wencai's chubby face was full of smiles as he said to the children, "Don't be afraid, you are safe now."

Is your home in the prefectural city?

If you're all in the prefectural city, we'll send you home.

At this moment, the black cat noticed Dongfang Jin staring at it and said, "Hmm, this human's scent is so familiar. I think I smelled it in the He family's courtyard earlier."

Xiao Hua also looked at Dongfang Jin: "She just moved into the He family's house today. I saw her at the He family's house when I was looking for you. She seems like a nice person."

"Xiaohua, I was wondering how she ended up here."

A large black dog ran through the human traffickers lying on the ground and towards Dongfang Jin, shouting, "Oh no, that human trafficker is going to throw drugs again!"

Dongfang Jin looked and saw that it was the first one Lei had knocked down, and he saw him throwing a packet of medicine in this direction.

Dongfang Jin channeled his inner strength and unleashed a palm strike, smearing the packet of powder directly onto the trafficker's face.

"Cough cough...you..." A cough suddenly rang out, but he only coughed twice, said the word "you," and then his head tilted to the side and he fell down.

Ruyi, [Oh my god, danger!]

[You've failed in your duty!] Dongfang Jin was somewhat displeased.

Ruyi explained, "Isn't this what I'm looking for—the homes of those children?"

Don't try to justify it; it's still your dereliction of duty!

I don't have three heads and six arms!

You are using your divine sense, not your hands and feet.

【…】

Dongfang Jin walked over, kicked the human trafficker hard, and bent down to look at the big black dog: "Thank you, if you hadn't reminded us, we would have been in danger."

That packet of sleeping pills contained quite a lot.

The big black dog and the other dogs, along with the cats on the wall, were all stunned by her words.

The big yellow dog walked over and said, "Old Black, this human is talking to you again."

The big black dog tried to take a step forward and looked up at Dongfang Jin: "Are you talking to me?"

Dongfang Jin watched them interact and asked, "Yes, are you all taken?"

She couldn't accept them if they were all taken, but these guys weren't bad.

The big black dog shook its head: "No, apart from that cat named Xiaohua, we are all stray dogs and cats from Anyang City."

Dongfang Jin smiled and introduced herself to them: "Hello, my name is Dongfang Jin, but everyone calls me Sister Jin. I live in the old house of the He family."

"I just bought those today. If you'd like, you're welcome to come to my house anytime, and I'll prepare something for you to eat."

Dahuang took a step back, looking at Dongfang Jin warily: "How can you, a human, understand our language? Are you a monster in disguise?"

Dongfang Jin: "..." Speechless!

how to explain?

She was a lonely soul from another world.

"I am human, but I had a stroke of luck that allowed me to understand your language."

Ruyi, [you really can make things up.]

Dongfang Jin, [Tell me, how am I supposed to talk to them? Should I say you taught them this?]

She's now so used to having so many debts that she doesn't worry, so many lice that she doesn't itch, and so many lies that she starts to believe them.

As one wishes……

[It’s really hard to say. 】

[What you're saying, isn't it just that the timing wasn't right?]

Yes, I was wrong.

The big black cat then perched on the wall, looking down at her: "Why are you being nice to us? Tell me! Do you have some ulterior motive?"

Or will they, like those humans, pretend to be kind to us, then poison our food, kill us, and sell our flesh for money?

"Is that so?" Dongfang Jin was shocked.
