Chapter 34 The Masked Man
The little maidservant was so frightened that her face turned pale and she instinctively wanted to scream.

But before she could make a sound, a rough and strong hand covered her mouth in time.

"Don't make any noise. If you make any noise, I will kill you. Do you understand?"

Xu Yunfan lowered his voice and spoke in a low tone, trying to sound as ferocious as possible as he threatened the little maid in her ear.

When the little maid heard this, tears instantly welled up in her eyes and she nodded repeatedly in horror.

"Okay, let me ask you."

Xu Yunfan still lowered his voice, and his voice was so low that it seemed to come from the darkness.

"Where is the warehouse where the Hu family stores their valuables?"

The little maidservant didn't dare to hesitate at all, and pointed out the direction quickly and tremblingly.

Xu Yunfan looked up at the place the maid pointed to, only to see the building ablaze with lights, as bright as day. He thought to himself, after all, the warehouse is a prime location, so it's understandable that it's heavily guarded. But now that someone has infiltrated the Hu Mansion, and the black-clad figure has attracted a lot of attention, the warehouse should be relatively empty.

Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, Xu Yunfan suddenly frowned slightly and subconsciously sniffed lightly with his nose.

Why does it smell like urine?

Full of doubts, he looked down at the little maidservant in front of him who was only 1.55 meters tall.

The other person was shivering like a quail, looking extremely pitiful.

"Frightened?"

Xu Yunfan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Hearing Xu Yunfan's straightforward words, the little maid's fear was instantly replaced by great shame and anger.

She buried her head in shame and anger, clenched her teeth, no longer panicked, and said nothing. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, and she wanted to die.

Seeing that Xu Yunfan did not move again, the little maid slowly raised her head, but found that there was no figure in front of her.

She opened her mouth, but closed it in an instant, remembering how miserable she looked now.

If other maids knew about this, she would never be able to hold her head up high in her life. If the master of the house knew about this, he might even despise her and kick her out. This had happened before.

The little maid looked around cautiously, and after making sure that there was no one around, she quickly lowered her head and left in a panic.

Xu Yunfan in the shadows saw it all and said nothing.

In this ancient feudal society, although foot binding was not as popular in the Zhou Dynasty as in some previous dynasties, where women would commit suicide if their legs were seen, no one dared to speak out about such an ugly thing as wetting one's pants.

When he was in Jiang's house in his previous life, he had witnessed with his own eyes a maid who was threatened by a martial artist with a punch. She was so scared that she couldn't control herself and wet her pants.

Jiang Yu was naturally disgusted and sent the maid directly to the Jiaofangsi.

Those wealthy families have very dirty backgrounds.

Xu Yunfan no longer hesitated, and quickly moved forward, sticking to the dark corners and quietly moving towards the warehouse.

Now the entire Hu Mansion was attracted by the woman in black. There were only a few people seen along the way, and those who were there were either maids or servants.

When he approached the warehouse, he found that the guards patrolling around were indeed very dense. These people walked steadily and looked alert, and they were obviously armed. But he could see that their eyes were uncertain, and it was obvious that the warehouse was not as calm as it seemed.

Xu Yunfan crouched down, his hunting skills making him difficult to detect. He used the surrounding debris and shadows to cleverly avoid the guards' sight.

You've hidden yourself, skillfully using cover to conceal your form, preventing your prey from detecting your movements. Your hunting proficiency has improved.

He held his breath, glanced at the proficiency increase prompt that popped up in his vision, and waited quietly for the opportunity.

This hunting skill proved to be more effective than he had anticipated. However, after about ten minutes, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the Hu Mansion.

"There are strong men invading, come and protect Master Hu!"

It was the voice of the middle-aged man who chased out of the Hu Mansion.

Upon hearing this, the leader ordered most of the warehouse guards to leave, and the entire warehouse was suddenly empty.

It was like I was falling asleep and the pillow came to me.

Xu Yunfan was delighted. Sometimes, if you just wait a little longer, good things might happen.

There were only four or five guards who had just started practicing martial arts. Although the young leader was strong in build, his vitality was a little lacking and he looked like he was only at the small success stage.

Xu Yunfan no longer hid his figure and walked out from the darkness in the corner in full view of the guards.

No longer concealing his steps, the slightly heavy sound of his footsteps seemed to step on the hearts of the guards, attracting their attention.

The leading guard was shocked when he saw this. The man was wearing black clothes and a mask, and looked very aggressive. He was definitely not here for tea.

He drew the long sword from his waist and shouted, "Stop!"

Seeing this, the other guards also drew their swords and became fully alert.

Xu Yunfan, however, seemed not to hear and continued walking. His muscles bulged slightly, his bones made a slight popping sound, and his clothes were stretched tight by the bulging muscles.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yunfan strode up to a guard.

The guard widened his eyes in horror and subconsciously swung the machete in his hand towards Xu Yunfan.

Xu Yunfan did not dodge or evade, but raised the back of his hand and pushed forward.

There was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and the guard's machete was knocked out of his hand. There was nothing unusual on Xu Yunfan's arm except a barely perceptible white mark.

And within a few breaths, the white mark quickly disappeared.

"Horizontal training!?"

The leader screamed in surprise. He really didn't expect to meet someone who practiced horizontal training kung fu.

Xu Yunfan threw a punch, the tip of his fist tearing through the air with a hissing sound. It was so heavy and fast that the guard had no time to react and was hit in the chest.

The guard screamed and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hitting the wall heavily, spitting blood from his mouth and falling unconscious on the spot.

Seeing this, the other guards showed fear on their faces, but they still plucked up their courage, waving their weapons and rushing forward.

Seeing this, Xu Yunfan was not at all flustered. With the power of his flying kick, his body was as fast as lightning, shuttling back and forth in the crowd. Every punch he threw was accompanied by a muffled sound and a scream.

The fists hit the guards like heavy hammers, and the sound of broken bones rang out one after another.

The little leader was horrified and waved his long sword wildly, trying to block Xu Yunfan's attack.

However, Xu Yunfan rushed to him in a flash, flicked away the long knife with one finger, and then dropped his palm to grab the wrist holding the knife. With a little force, he heard a "click" and the wrist made a sound of bone breaking.

The little leader screamed and his long sword fell to the ground.

Xu Yunfan took advantage of the situation and kicked him in the lower abdomen. The little leader flew out and fell to the ground, fainting from the pain.

However, in just a few breaths, four or five guards had all fallen to the ground, losing their ability to resist.
