About the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the three men in brocade robes were at a disadvantage.
Leng Ruo Li took out two scalpels from her system space, holding one in each hand, and directly joined the fray, engaging in battle with the masked men in black.
Leng Ruo Li felt she could no longer stand by and watch. If these masked men in black won, the innocent people in the medical hall would all be slaughtered by these ruthless figures. Therefore, she had to help the men in brocade defeat them.
Although Leng Ruo Li had no internal energy or qinggong, she was skilled in close-quarters combat. She decided to play to her strengths, leveraging her advantages to attack their weaknesses, thereby increasing her chances of victory.
To her surprise, this method was indeed very effective.
Haha...
Oli ge!!!
Leng Ruo Li, a woman without internal energy, actually fought over ten exchanges with these men in black, leaving them utterly astonished. This quickly drew the attention of several men in black, and soon, she found herself surrounded and attacked by them.
However, Leng Ruo Li remained calm. Her cold, apricot-shaped eyes held a bloodthirsty ferocity. With a swift movement, she easily dodged an attack from a man in black and appeared before another, then delivered a powerful kick to the groin.
"Ah..." A scream echoed throughout the entire medical hall.
All the men in the medical hall glanced at the man Leng Ruo Li had kicked in the groin. They instinctively tightened their own vital areas, thinking to themselves, "This woman is truly ruthless, daring to injure a man's ancestral seed."
While they were momentarily distracted, Leng Ruo Li swept a scalpel across the neck of a man in black. The man collapsed and died on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, Leng Ruo Li efficiently dispatched two more men in black.
The leader of the men in black looked at Leng Ruo Li coldly, his gaze sinister, wishing he could cut her into a thousand pieces. This woman was too sharp and knew how to capitalize on her strengths.
Despite her delicate and slender frame, and her strength being less than a tenth of a man's, her moves were fierce, her speed was astonishing, and her targeting was precise. They could not afford to be careless.
"Brothers, everyone guard against this woman," the leader of the men in black warned.
As soon as he spoke, two men in black lunged at Leng Ruo Li from behind. Leng Ruo Li held her scalpels tightly in both hands, bent her body backward, and instantly dodged the attack from the two men in black.
Then, seizing the opportune moment, she suddenly extended her slender hands and fiercely plunged her sharp scalpels into the abdomens of the two men in black who had attacked her, causing their swords to clatter to the ground.
"Aow—"
"Aow—"
They cried out in pain, clutching their abdomens, their killing intent diminished. Afterward, Leng Ruo Li again sliced across their necks with a scalpel, showing no mercy.
Even the three men in brocade were stunned. This woman was truly formidable, leaving them awestruck and further igniting their fighting spirit. They pushed the group of men in black back step by step, quickly gaining the upper hand. Before long, the four of them had captured all the men in black.
Outside, the night was hazy, starless and moonless. Inside the medical hall, the three men in brocade were busy disposing of the bodies.
At this moment, Doctor Huang rushed over to ask Leng Ruo Li about her well-being. The medical hall's apprentices and helpers also emerged from beneath the medicine cabinets.
Everyone looked at Leng Ruo Li with admiration. Their grand-disciple had been so cool while fighting the men in black.
"Master, are you alright?" Doctor Huang approached, asking with concern.
"I'm fine," Leng Ruo Li replied, shaking her head.
Suddenly—
A voice came from within the room.
"Help, someone!" the injured man in the room called out.
A sharp-eared man in brocade quickly recognized it as his master's voice and darted into the room.
"Master, you're finally awake," the man in brocade said.
In fact, he had been awakened during the fight between the three men in brocade and the men in black and had been listening to the commotion outside the room, not daring to make a sound that might distract the three men in brocade.
"Mu Bai, quickly transport these bodies out of the medical hall and clear the scene of the fight. We must leave the medical hall immediately to avoid bringing disaster upon it," the injured man said, his face pale and his body extremely weak, his voice hoarse.
"But, Master... your leg injury isn't healed yet," Mu Bai said with a look of difficulty.
"We must leave here. Those people are ruthless; they won't care who is innocent. I... I don't want to implicate them," the injured man said helplessly.
He, the dignified Fifth Prince of Bei Rong, was pursued like a stray dog every day, a truly pathetic existence.
Afterward, Mu Bai and the other two, following their master's orders, quickly cleared the scene of the fight and, carrying their master, prepared to leave the medical hall.
Before leaving, the man sincerely thanked Leng Ruo Li, who had treated his leg injury.
Leng Ruo Li, out of her medical practitioner's compassion, gave him some painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicine to carry with him, explaining how to take them.
Then, the injured man was swiftly carried away by his three subordinates.
However, a strong smell of blood still permeated the medical hall.
Leng Ruo Li took out two bottles of disinfectant from her medical kit and instructed Doctor Huang to thoroughly disinfect the entire medical hall before she stepped out.
Tonight, the sky was like a black curtain blocking people's desire to search. Gusts of wind blew past Leng Ruo Li's ears. Perhaps it was due to the impending storm, as there were very few pedestrians on the street.
Leng Ruo Li planned to take a shortcut back to her residence. As she walked alone down a deserted street, two men suddenly sprang from an alley and began following her.
She knew Leng Ruo Shuang would not give up so easily and would surely find people to deal with her.
With a thought, she took another scalpel from her system space and hid it in her sleeve.
Leng Ruo Li deliberately took several turns, leading herself into a remote and narrow alleyway. The two men followed her in. They were two burly middle-aged men with ferocious expressions.
"Big brother, is this woman crazy? Knowing two big men are following her, she still dares to go into a dead-end alley," one of the men muttered.
"Who cares about her? As long as we brothers rape and kill her tonight, we'll each get fifty taels of silver."
The two men continued to follow Leng Ruo Li, not far behind. Suddenly, Leng Ruo Li vanished in the blink of an eye, almost terrifying the two burly men into peeing themselves on the spot.
"Big brother, that woman is gone. This is truly like encountering a ghost."
"Let's search further inside."
The older man frowned. He was also bewildered. After doing so many bad deeds for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Hi there, are you looking for me?"
The two men were greatly startled and turned around. Leng Ruo Li stood not far behind them.
"Are... are you a human or a ghost?" one of the men asked her in terror. This woman was truly too eerie!
"What do you think?"
Leng Ruo Li walked towards the two men with a sinister smile, her apricot eyes flashing a cold glint.
"You dare to appear before us again? Good, you're brave. Do you know who we are?" the older man said with a hint of admiration.
"If I didn't come out, how would you two report back to your employer and collect your money?"
"Then just come with us obediently," the younger man chuckled upon hearing Leng Ruo Li's words, thinking to himself: This woman's brain must be damaged, otherwise, she wouldn't be so foolish as to walk into a trap.
Leng Ruo Li looked at the two middle-aged men and smiled slightly, waving her index finger in front of them.
"No, no, no. I want to make a deal with you tonight as well. If you tell me who wants to kill me, I'll give you five hundred taels of silver."
Upon saying this, the two men exchanged glances.
The older man decisively refused, "No, this is the rule of the trade; we cannot reveal the client's identity."
"Then I can only send you on your way."
Leng Ruo Li swiftly charged towards the two middle-aged men, kicking one of them in the stomach. In one hand, she held a scalpel and stabbed it into the abdomen of the other middle-aged man, instantly drawing blood.
