Chapter 2596: Chapter 2596: Playing Guerrilla Warfare with Them
"Ah!" The man screamed miserably, pouncing forward, and the two in front of him were knocked down, all rolling down the stairs.
In a short while, Ruan Tianling had already incapacitated four men.
The first one who was kicked down the stairs, plus the three just now.
Out of nine, there were only five left.
At this moment, they certainly wouldn’t dare to make a move again.
"Let’s go." Ruan Tianling extended his hand to Jian Yufei.
"Wait a moment."
Jian Yufei ran to pick up another steel pipe, just as the man stabbed in the chest opened his eyes.
He propped himself up, glaring viciously at Jian Yufei.
The steel pipe in Jian Yufei’s hand struck his forehead without hesitation.
The man instantly had his head cracked and bleeding, falling to the ground and unable to get up.
Jian Yufei turned around with a cold face, holding Ruan Tianling’s hand and going downstairs.
The ones who had previously fallen down the stairs had already hidden.
Even the two who were injured had been carried away by them.
Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling stood in the living room, surrounded by emptiness, not a single person in sight.
But they knew those people were just hiding in some corner.
Jian Yufei gripped the steel pipe, "Shall we go find them?"
Ruan Tianling smiled coldly, "No need."
"Are you tired? Sit down and rest." He pressed Jian Yufei to sit on the sofa.
Then he went to open all the windows to let the smoke disperse.
The castle was built with stones, and there wasn’t much furniture here.
So the fire upstairs wasn’t enough to set the castle ablaze. Once things were burned up, the fire would naturally go out.
It’s just the smoke was quite thick, making it not only suffocating but also impacting visibility.
If he rashly attacked now, things could go wrong easily.
He might be fine, but Jian Yufei might not be.
So it’s best to wait and see how the situation changes.
"Cough cough..." After sitting for a while, Jian Yufei couldn’t help but cough slightly, even tearing up from the smoke.
"Is it very uncomfortable?" Ruan Tianling quickly asked with concern.
Jian Yufei wiped away her tears, "No... cough cough..."
She was clearly uncomfortable, and he was also feeling it.
Ruan Tianling remembered there was a bathroom on the first floor, not far away.
"Follow me!"
He pulled Jian Yufei up, heading towards the bathroom.
He kicked open the bathroom door, quickly scanned it, and seeing no one, let Jian Yufei go in to wash her face while he kept guard outside.
Standing at the washbasin, Jian Yufei turned on the faucet, washed her face vigorously, and drank a few mouthfuls of water.
She took two towels, wet them, and walked out.
"Do you want to wash your face?" She asked Ruan Tianling.
"No need!"
"Here, take this." Jian Yufei handed him a towel.
With the towels over their mouths, they returned to the living room.
The others remained silent, it was unclear whether they were afraid or plotting something else.
But as long as they didn’t make a move, Ruan Tianling wouldn’t either.
His enemies weren’t just them, there was also Nangong Xu.
Nangong Xu wanted them to kill each other.
If he solved these people now, it would probably be Nangong Xu’s turn to deal with him.
So with the remaining ones, he would just engage in guerrilla warfare with them.
As long as he persisted like this, Nangong Xu wouldn’t have other schemes for now.
Ruan Tianling wiped his eyes with the wet towel, his gaze becoming clearer.
...
An hour later, the fire upstairs died out too.
As the smoke cleared, Jian Yufei and the others felt much better.
The people hiding in the shadows still hadn’t shown themselves.
After being exposed to the smoke for too long, Jian Yufei felt her eyes were sore and her whole body was utterly exhausted.
