However, the opponent seems to never tire of it, rushing towards us in a steady stream.
We were back to back, struggling to hold on, but the attacks of the imps became more and more fierce, and I felt that my strength was gradually being depleted.
Li Yunxi was also sweating profusely and his face was pale.
At this critical moment, the ancient mansion suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave emanated from it. Something seemed to have awakened in it.
The imps suddenly stopped attacking and turned to look at the house, their expressions full of fear and awe.
Li Yunxi and I also felt the powerful force, and we couldn't help but stop our attacks and stared at the ancient house with bated breath.
In the house, the energy fluctuations became more and more intense, and the entire night sky was enveloped in its light.
As the energy in the ancient mansion continued to increase, the night sky was suddenly pierced by a dazzling light.
A woman in red with a terrifying face flew out of the house. Her face was distorted, her eyes were as red as blood, and the corners of her mouth were torn to her ears, revealing sharp fangs.
Her eyes locked on mine, she let out a piercing scream and rushed towards me with red eyes.
Her movements were as fast as lightning, and Li Yunxi and I barely had time to react.
Just when the female ghost in red was about to pounce in front of us, in the night, a figure suddenly flew from a distance at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
That was the woman dressed by Zhong Kui in ancient times last night. Her movements were as fast as lightning, as if she grew out of the night.
She suddenly appeared between us and the female ghost in red like a ghost, the long knife in her hand shining coldly in the moonlight.
Every time she swung the knife, she took away a piece of imp. Her figure shuttled among the group of imps, like a cheetah in the dark night.
Soon, a fierce battle broke out between the female Zhong Kui and the female ghost in red.
The attacks of the female ghost in red were wild and fierce, but every response of the female ghost Zhong Kui was extremely precise, and the blade always hit the opponent's vital part accurately.
Finally, after a fierce confrontation, the female Zhong Kui successfully chopped the female ghost in red into ashes and dissipated in the night wind.
After the battle, the female Zhong Kui stood there, looked at us deeply, and then disappeared into the night again, just as she appeared, leaving no trace.
After the female Zhong Kui left, the surroundings returned to calm, but the traces of the battle left behind were still clearly visible.
I cautiously walked forward and looked carefully around the place where the two were fighting, and soon noticed a piece of clothing on the ground.
The style of this fragment is simple, the fabric is embroidered with complex and exquisite patterns, and the materials are excellent. It is obviously from a wealthy family.
This discovery surprised both Li Yunxi and me. The identity of the female Zhong Kui seems to have some connection with the Su family.
Could she be a member of the Su family? Or does it have an unknown past with the Su family?
The next day, we took this piece of clothing and started asking around the village, hoping to find more clues about the Su family and the female Zhong Kui.
We visited many villagers, but most of them avoided talking about the Su family's affairs or pretended to know nothing about it.
Finally, in a corner of the village, we met an aunt in her forties.
Her eyes visibly moved when she saw the piece of clothing, which seemed to have touched a certain memory in her.
"This is a style unique to the Su family." She whispered, with a hint of fear in her voice.
“A few years ago, I saw a girl from the Su family wearing similar clothes.
She is always alone, mysterious and seldom communicates with others. "
Li Yunxi and I looked at each other, feeling even more confused.
Is this girl from the Su family the mysterious female Zhong Kui? Why did she appear at this time, and why did she choose to help us?
"What happened to that girl?" I asked.
The woman shook her head, "Soon after, she disappeared and no one saw her again.
Rumor has it that something happened to her, but no one knows exactly what happened. "
We thanked the woman profusely and left filled with doubts.
The secrets of the Su family seem to be deeper than imagined, and the appearance of female Zhong Kui undoubtedly adds more uncertainty to the mystery.
In the evening, Li Yunxi and I sat in the hotel room and sorted out the information we got today one by one.
The history of Sujiazhuang, the identity of the mysterious girl, and the appearance of the female Zhong Kui, all seem to point to one center - the Su family.
I said helplessly: "It seems that I have to go to the Su family!"
"I'll be with you!" Li Yunxi heard this and smiled.
Early the next morning, Li Yunxi and I set out for the Su family.
As we gradually approached Sujiazhuang, I felt an inexplicable tension and expectation.
Sujiazhuang is magnificent, and the simple buildings look more solemn and solemn in the morning sun.
When we arrived at the gate, I took a deep breath and told the servant at the gate my identity: "I am Ma Laosan's grandson, Ma Keke.
I came here this time to discuss something with the head of the Su family. "
The servants were obviously surprised by my sudden appearance, but they immediately became respectful after hearing that I claimed to be Ma Laosan's grandson.
They led us into the house and to a lightly decorated living room.
After waiting in the living room for more than half an hour, the head of the Su family, Su Mingli, finally appeared.
He looks old, but he has an extraordinary bearing and sharp eyes.
I didn't beat around the bush and told him directly: "Uncle Su, I am here to complete a marriage that my grandfather made with the Su family many years ago."
After hearing this, Su Mingli's expression changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect that I would directly raise this matter.
He was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "So you are the child back then. Time flies so fast. So many years have passed. I will naturally remember what happened back then."
Su Mingli's expression showed a hint of complicated emotions. He did not directly respond to the question about marriage, but instead asked about my grandfather.
"Your grandfather, Ma Laosan, how is he now?" he asked.
I took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice: "Grandpa has passed away."
After Su Mingli heard this, a trace of sadness and sigh flashed across his face, as if he had a close relationship with my grandfather.
"Ma Laosan, such a powerful person left so quickly." He murmured to himself, lifted the teacup on the table and took a sip.
After a moment of silence, Su Mingli raised his head and his eyesight became clear again: "But don't worry, I, Su Mingli, will naturally fulfill the promise I made back then.
In a week, I will officiate the marriage between you and Huanxing. "
I was shocked. I didn't expect Su Mingli to agree so quickly.
I nodded and said seriously: "Then I'll thank Uncle Su first."
