The injuries on Feng Qi's body was a masterpiece by Xiao Jiu'an, he knew better than anyone else how weak Feng Qi's current fighting strength was. When Feng Qi attacked, Xiao Jiu'an moved.

"Yes!" When the three maids heard the order, they immediately thought of a way to escape from Feng Qi's grasp, but how could Feng Qi give them the chance to do so?

"Yes, Sir!" One of the maids suddenly gave up her attack and retreated a step. Following that, she pounced towards Feng Qi with lightning speed.

Two fists were barely able to contend against four hands, Feng Qi was, after all, only one person. In the face of their attack, Feng Qi tried to dodge, but the maid that rushed toward him suddenly grabbed onto his legs, refusing to let go.

"Apologies!" Feng Qi raised his leg to kick her, but no matter how much strength he used, the maid just held onto his leg tightly, not moving at all.

Feng Qi was forcefully held back. When the other two maids saw the situation, they looked at each other and nodded. One of them, once again, attacked Feng Qi, stopping him, while the other one rushed back into the house, to prevent Xiao Jiu'an from taking Ji Yunkai away.

Inside the house, Xiao Jiu'an was looking for a mechanism that would move the metal box, but he could not find anything. Helpless, Xiao Jiu'an could only use the stupidest method to move the metal box.

The black metal box was not made of thin iron, but was made of a thick iron plate. It was at least a thousand jin in weight, and it would not be easy for a single person to move it.

Xiao Jiu'an tried to push it, but after confirming that he could not push it, he gave up. Instead, he took out the dagger attached to his leg and dug a hole outside the metal box, in order to create a gap.

When the maid came in, Xiao Jiu'an had already dug out a small hole and used a stone to block it, so that the metal box would not sink down.

The maid, without saying a word, stabbed her sword toward Xiao Jiu'an, who did not bother to turn his head. He carefully continued digging, as though he did not see her movements.

The maid was ecstatic. Just as she was about to stab Xiao Jiu'an, Xiao Jiu'an suddenly grabbed onto a handful of dirt and threw it behind him.

*Pah! Pah! Pah!* The soil dispersed and a majority of the dirt hit the maid's face, forcing her to continuously retreat. At the same time, a silver-gold needle shot out and pierced the maid's back. She let out a cry and fell to the ground.

Seeing the maid's fall to the ground and her plan to stop Xiao Jiu'an failing, Ye Cang Qiong was so angry that his eyes turned red: "Fei Xiao Chai!"

That's right, that silver-gold needle was shot out by Fei Xiao Chai.

"Why are you calling this master?" Fei Xiao Chai said, "Ye Cang Qiong, it's not too late for you to run. Prince Yanbei's Mansion's Steel Cavalry is about to arrive, when that time comes, even if you want to run, you won't be able to."

Fei Xiao Chai was dreaming. He knew better than anyone else that Prince Yanbei's Steel Cavalry would not arrive.

"Ye Cang Qiong, you can be stubborn." Seeing Xiao Jiu'an seriously trying to save his Little Junior Sister, Fei Xiao Chai was too lazy to talk to Ye Cang Qiong anymore and could only try his best to keep him busy so that he would not disturb Xiao Jiu'an. In that way, he would not have to risk his life.

Feng Qi was also the same. Originally, it was inevitable that it would be difficult for him to take on three of the maids by himself. Now, that there were only two maids left, it would not take Feng Qi much effort to suppress them.

Everything was progressing in a good direction, and it was the same for Ji Yunkai. Xiao Jiu'an had already dug a hole in the ground and successfully raised a part of the metal box, allowing air and light to flow into it.

Fresh air gushed in, allowing Ji Yunkai, who was on the verge of suffocating, to catch her breath. The rays of light caused Ji Yunkai's unease to be eased. Except for her trembling fingers and swollen red eyes, no one could tell that she had almost collapsed in this small, sealed iron box.

The metal box was opened at a corner, allowing air and light to flow inside, but she had no way of getting out. When the box was opened, Xiao Jiu'an threw the dagger in: "Ji Yunkai, do it yourself!" He wasn't here to dig.

"I know." Ji Yunkai had already regained her composure and immediately crawled over. Using the weak rays of light to search for the dagger, she dug with all her might.

After Xiao Jiu'an handed the work of digging to Ji Yunkai, he went to find a rod that could pry open a metal box. Logically speaking, an iron rod would be the best, but right now, in Ye Cang Qiong's territory, where could he go to find an iron rod?

After looking around, Xiao Jiu'an's gaze fell on the house. The wood used for the beams must be strong and of the right size, and even if one of them was cut off, the house would not collapse for a while.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Jiu'an pulled out the longsword on his waist, gently leaped, and jumped onto the roof beam. With both hands holding onto the sword, he swung downwards.

*Shua!* The cuts were evenly matched, as if he was cutting tofu, Xiao Jiu'an swung his sword and cut the wooden beam that was as thick as his calf.

Seeing this sword work, one could not tell that Xiao Jiu'an was so weak that he could barely hold onto his sword. But it was a fact, he really was almost unable to hold on to his sword.

With that sword strike, Xiao Jiu'an felt a sweet taste in his throat. If not for him closing his mouth and swallowing the blood that rushed into his throat, he would have vomited blood.

Inhale, exhale....

Xiao Jiu'an held onto his sword tightly with both of hands, as he closed his eyes to calm his churning aura. After the time it took for half-an-incense stick to burn, he slowly opened his eyes and aimed his sword at the other side of the roof.

*Huff.* Xiao Jiu'an took a deep breath. He still held onto his sword with both of his hands, and swung down!

This was Xiao Jiu'an. Even if he only had one last breath left, he would still be able to hold on and raise the world above his head.

Similarly, with a *swoosh*, he only used one move to cut off the wooden beam.

*BOOM!* The wood lost its support and fell from the roof and to the ground.

Xiao Jiu'an did not immediately get down, but slowly wiped the sword clean and put it back around his waist and slowly jumped down.

Fei Xiao Chai was outside, just to distract Ye Cang Qiong. It was not as hard as before, and it gave him more energy to pay attention to Xiao Jiu'an's every move. Seeing Xiao Jiu'an standing on the roof while leisurely wiping his sword, Fei Xiao Chai almost vomited blood.

"Boss, this time we must take our Little Junior Sister away! Marrying her to a man like this is simply ten lifetimes of bad luck!" Fei Xiao Chai stomped his feet in anger. He wished he could send Ye Cang Qiong flying with a kick and run in to save her.

His Little Junior Sister had already been locked up for a long time, yet Xiao Jiu'an wasn't anxious at all!

The moment Xiao Jiu'an landed, he heard Fei Xiao Chai's words. He did not say anything, but he only turned his head to look at Fei Xiao Chai. With one glance, he scared Fei Xiao Chai to the point that he did not dare to speak anymore.

There was no other reason, the murderous intent in Xiao Jiu'an's eyes was too strong....
