The carriage bumped more and more violently.
Liu Sisi firmly protected the three children as the carriage swayed continuously. The sounds of fighting, screams, and clashing weapons were incessant around her ears.
As the carriage suddenly made a sharp turn, there was a loud "bang" as a heavy object collided with the carriage, followed by a horrifying scream. A warm liquid sprayed onto the carriage curtain, and some specks reached Liu Sisi's face. She instinctively wiped it off, only realizing what the liquid was when she smelled a fishy odor.
Before she could express her horror, a sudden "hissing" sound came from the carriage. A gleaming sword tip pierced through the damaged spot.
Liu Sisi was shocked! As an instinct, she lunged forward, pressing the three children beneath her.
The sword tip failed to reach them in time, and another muffled groan sounded outside. The wielder of the long sword had already rolled away and disappeared.
