Feng Kun's men! They've arrived so quickly!

And to do it so blatantly, launching a direct attack under the pretext of "capturing the traitor"! He's really desperate!

"Father!" Qin Hongyu gritted her teeth.

Qin Yulin waved his hand and said in a deep voice to a guard captain beside him, "Qin Wu, tell the outsiders that my Qin family is innocent and upright. How can we be called traitors? Feng Kun has no evidence and has privately mobilized troops to besiege civilian houses, which is tantamount to rebellion! Tell them to retreat, or they will bear the consequences!"

"Yes!" Commander Qin Wu replied and strode towards the front yard.

The pounding on the door grew louder, accompanied by the dull thud of battering wood slamming against the gate: "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Listen up, you people inside! If you don't open the door, we'll break in! Leave no one alive!"

Qin Wu's angry shouts came from the front yard: "Insolence! This is the residence of a fifth-rank imperial merchant, how dare you, a ragtag army, run rampant! If you dare to ram the gate again, don't blame us for being merciless with our arrows!"

"Fire!" A cold command came from outside the door.

Immediately following, a chilling twang of bowstrings and the whooshing of arrows filled the air! Countless arrows flew over the wall like locusts and into the courtyard!

The arrows pierced the eaves, pillars, and ground with dull thuds! The muffled groans and screams of guards struck by arrows echoed through the air!

"Shield!" Qin Wu roared.

The dull thud of shields clashing and the angry roars of the guards echoed from the front yard. The Qin family guards, well-trained, quickly formed a defensive formation.

"They actually dared to make a move!" Qin Hongyu's eyes widened in fury, and she was about to rush out.

"Don't rush." ​​Lin Feng pressed down on her shoulder.

"This is a feint, creating chaos and drawing our attention. The real killing move is yet to come."

No sooner had he finished speaking than several shrill screams and the sharp clash of weapons suddenly rang out from the backyard, near the warehouse!

Immediately following was a loud "boom" of an explosion!

"Warehouse!" Qin Yulin's expression changed drastically.

"A feint! They want to destroy the warehouse and erase the 'evidence'!" Qin Hongyu understood instantly.

"Miss Qin, take some men to the front yard and help Qin Wu guard the gate! Xiao He, protect Master Qin and Miss Su, and retreat into the secret room!"

As Lin Feng gave the order, he himself shot off like an arrow towards the direction of the fire in the backyard.

In the backyard, near the warehouse, a breach has been blown in the wall!

A dozen or so masked men dressed in black, with agile movements, were wielding swords and fighting against the Qin family guards who were protecting the warehouse!

These men were clearly skilled soldiers or desperate criminals hired for a hefty sum; their attacks were ruthless, each move deadly. Seven or eight Qin family guards lay dead on the ground.

Two men were carrying earthenware pots, pouring the kerosene inside onto the goods! Another man, holding a torch, grinned maliciously as he prepared to set it on fire!

"Stop them!" Lin Feng's voice preceded his arrival, and at the same time, two iron caltrops flew out of his hand, aiming straight for the wrists of the two men who had splashed oil!

"Pfft! Pfft!" The two screamed as the earthenware pot slipped from their hands, spilling kerosene all over the ground.

The man holding the torch was startled and threw the torch at Lin Feng!

Lin Feng dodged to the side, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure cut into the battle like a ghost. His long sword was drawn, bringing with it a flash of bright light!

He ignored the men in black who were still fighting and rushed straight for the hole in the wall that had been blown open! Because there, four or five more dark figures were trying to rush in!

"Those who block my way shall die!" Lin Feng roared, his blade flashing like a streak of light, sweeping across the cave entrance!

The two men in black at the front raised their knives to block, but with two loud clangs, they felt an irresistible force. Their hands were split open, their knives slipped from their grasp, and they felt a chill on their chests as the blades sliced ​​through them. Blood gushed out, and they fell backward, knocking over the two men behind them.

Lin Feng, alone with his sword, managed to seal off the several-foot-wide hole in the wall!

His swordsmanship was simple and ruthless, without any fancy moves. Every strike was aimed at the enemy's defenses, forcing the black-clad men who tried to rush in to retreat repeatedly. For a time, no one could cross the line!

"Use crossbows! Shoot him dead!" someone outside the wall shouted angrily.

Several men in black immediately took out crossbows from their backs and aimed them at Lin Feng.

But would Lin Feng give them a chance? He flashed through the hole in the wall and retreated back into the courtyard, grabbing a rattan shield left behind by a Qin family guard and holding it in front of him.

At the same time, he shouted to the Qin family guards who were struggling to hold out, "Retreat to the warehouse entrance, form a circular formation! Return fire with your bows and arrows!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining six or seven Qin family guards perked up. They fought and retreated, forming a small circle with their backs to the warehouse door. They drew their short crossbows and fired outwards.

Despite being outnumbered, they managed to hold their ground by using the warehouse walls and their circular formation.

Lin Feng moved like a ghost through the shadows and firelight of the courtyard, his long knife appearing and disappearing unpredictably, specifically targeting lone men in black or those attempting to approach the warehouse to set it on fire.

His movements were too fast and his swordsmanship too ruthless. In just a moment, three more men in black fell down with screams.

"Useless trash! Attack him together, kill this brat first!"

The man who appeared to be the leader outside the wall roared and led the remaining dozen or so men in black, who rushed in through the hole in the wall and surrounded Lin Feng and the Qin family guards.

"Captain Lin!" The Qin family guards looked on in despair.

Lin Feng remained expressionless, tossed the rattan shield to a guard with an injured arm, stood with his sword drawn, and glanced at the black-clad men who surrounded him, finally settling on the leader.

The leader was tall and imposing, carrying a heavy demon-headed knife in his hand, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Lin Feng of Shuofeng? He does have some skill."

The leader grinned maliciously, "Tonight you can't protect the Qin family, nor can you protect yourself. Brothers, chop him down! The general will reward you handsomely!"

"Kill!" the men in black shouted, raising their swords and rushing in from all directions!

A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his body suddenly accelerating as he charged straight at the three men in black!

Just as the swords were about to strike, he suddenly ducked and swept his long sword across the ground! With two "thuds," two men in black were struck in the calves and fell to the ground screaming in pain.

The third man's knife grazed Lin Feng's scalp. Lin Feng, like an eel, slipped under his armpit, and with a backhand slash, plunged the knife into his back.

But the swords and spears from the sides and rear have also arrived!
