Chapter 14: This Swordsmanship is Too Amazing

Everyone was curious about Wen Yao’s appearance, but they didn’t know whether it was because they found it strange or because they were afraid of the long sword in her hand. For a while, no one dared to step forward, only gathering in groups of three or two, discussing from a distance of several meters.

Wen Yao didn’t think she was mistaken. She turned a corner and walked a few steps forward, finally finding her target.

It was four men with black tattoos on their arms. They looked like they had just finished fighting, with injuries on their necks and arms. One was riding a tricycle, two were carrying a large bag of stolen food onto the tricycle, and the other was standing guard by the road, wary of anyone coming to steal their things.

Wen Yao put her sword behind her back and walked forward slowly.

The tall, thin man on guard caught a glimpse of her, as if he didn’t feel any danger, and even whistled at her lightly.

Wen Yao smiled back, her youthful apricot eyes curved, her bright eyes and white teeth, her smile as beautiful as a flower blooming on a snowy mountain, pure, brilliant, and moving.

The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed even more obscenely: “What, you want to sleep with your brother… uh!”

“Clack—”

With the blood splattering, the man’s words were not finished, and his head had already fallen to the ground. The skull rolled far away in the puddle, the eyeballs bulging, completely unwilling to die.

In a brief moment, everyone around gasped.

“Damn… what kind of background does that little girl have, she actually killed someone like that?”

“Did you see her sword move? Did she kill him?”

“It was just her standing there, who else could it be?”

“Tsk, you can’t judge people by their appearance. She looks like a girl who can’t even lift a chicken, but she cuts off a person’s head with one knife, like cutting a watermelon. This…”

Mei Yasha rushed to the intersection, turned around and patted Di Dahu’s head: “Hurry up! Don’t you see the good man watching the boss, don’t you get punished?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the two were dazzled by the light of the Silver Moon Sword. They saw Wen Yao in front of them again, slashing two more heads, the swordsmanship fast, fierce, and accurate, without any hesitation.

Even the bystanders hadn’t reacted, and the two heads had already rolled into the ditch, the strong smell of blood permeating the humid air, the scene absurd and eerie.

Now, not only the bystanders, but also Mei Yasha and Di Dahu were speechless.

After a while, Di Dahu swallowed and said, “… her skills, without any abilities, how many people here are her opponents?”

Mei Yasha didn’t say anything, she had to admit that this swordsmanship was really too amazing…

Whether it was the speed, strength, or accuracy of the sword, it was perfectly amazing. In just a second, she cut off the heads of two big men. There were not many people in the Dongzhou’s Fourteenth District who had such skills.

It was probably because Wen Yao’s introverted personality and sweet and soft appearance were too deceptive, making both of them mistakenly think that she was just a weak and pitiful little girl who needed someone to watch over and protect her.

In the blink of an eye, three out of the four men were dead. The man riding the tricycle was completely terrified by Wen Yao’s killing intent.

He didn’t care about his companions’ bodies and supplies, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and pedaled the tricycle frantically, running wildly towards the road ahead…

Wen Yao chased after him for a few steps but couldn’t catch up. Seeing the distance getting farther and farther, she simply raised her hand and threw the long sword in her hand.

With a “whoosh,” the Silver Moon long sword broke through countless fine water mist, drew an arc in the air, and pierced straight into the man’s back, “poof” through the heart.

The body fell heavily from the tricycle, the tricycle rolled a long way due to inertia, until it hit a concrete wall and disintegrated.

Wen Yao’s eyelashes were covered with water mist. Seeing that all four men were dead, she took a breath and walked forward to pick up her Silver Moon Sword.

In just a few minutes, the bystanders had already learned of her prowess. The initial ill-intentioned glances were all retracted, and even because of her approaching, the people blocking the way all stepped back a long way, fearing that they would be cut off their heads if they displeased her.

Wen Yao was in a bad mood as she pulled the sword out of the corpse and casually cut a piece of cloth from the corpse to wipe the blade.

When she finished wiping the Silver Moon Sword and was about to go back, she looked up and saw Ji Mingchen at the end of the road.

At this moment, the bystanders had all wisely made way, so the man’s appearance was particularly conspicuous. He was dressed in immaculate white, his body was spotless, and he was holding a transparent umbrella, making him look elegant and noble, out of place in this dilapidated and chaotic gray city.

Through the misty rain, Wen Yao walked back with her sword, and Ji Mingchen also strolled forward.

When the two met, Ji Mingchen tilted the umbrella in his hand, covering Wen Yao, and at the same time bent his waist slightly, smiling and asking her: “What deep hatred do you have, that you have to chase them out so hard and kill them all?”

Wen Yao was still immersed in her emotions and didn’t speak.

Ji Mingchen raised his finger to wipe the blood off her face, noticing the hatred in her eyes, he wiped the blood off his fingertips on her sleeve: “It’s really made my Wen Miss so unhappy, just leave it to me, a quick death is too good for them.”

Looking at the man’s actions, Wen Yao: “…”

She didn’t say anything, just looked away and said, “Sorry, I wasted your time.”

Back in the car, Wen Yao was stared at by Ji Mingchen’s probing gaze, so she simply confessed: “I didn’t kill anyone for no reason, they deserved to die.”

This matter has to be traced back to two months ago. Two months ago, Shen Yichuan gave her a small task, to lead a team of a dozen people to this city to exchange some crop seeds.

On the way, they encountered mutated zombies, and two female team members’ legs were injured and they couldn’t move. So she left a male team member to look after them, while she led the team to transport the seeds.

As a result, when she returned with a team of a dozen people, there was only the male team member’s body left in the dilapidated shack, and the two female team members were nowhere to be found.

It was already evening at that time, and everyone advised her to prioritize the mission, saying that this place was dangerous and it was not advisable to stay long, but she was unwilling. She led her men from dusk to the next morning.

In the end, they finally found them under a shed next to a concrete building. They were naked, and there were four men around them. It was not difficult to guess what the two injured women had suffered that night.

She immediately knocked the four men down and tied them up, then went to check their injuries. Unfortunately, one of them had been tortured to death, and the other, although unconscious, was covered in bruises and died on the way back to the base.

Because the rules of the Beizhou did not allow the use of private violence, no matter how angry or hateful she was, she could only bring them back to be interrogated and then dealt with.

However, the four men were very cunning. While taking a break on the way, they broke free from their restraints and escaped, and they also murdered a team member who was on watch.

She had regretted this matter for two whole months, and repeatedly requested Shen Yichuan to allow her to come back again. She wanted to personally execute these four people, but Shen Yichuan not only refused, but also rebuked her for being indecisive and emotional.

Shen Yichuan said that if she had been able to immediately abandon the two team members and not search for them, the mission time would not have been delayed, and the team member on watch later would not have died as a result.

But how could she be willing?

How could she be willing…

The two team members had been in the base for three years, following her for two years. They had been close to her like sisters. They were only nineteen or twenty years old. Why should they be tortured for no reason, why should they die miserably in a dark corner, unasked and unburied?

And why should those beasts who killed them get away with it and not be held accountable…

When talking about this matter, Wen Yao tried to hold back, but still couldn’t help but turn red-eyed. To avoid being too embarrassed, she turned her face to the window, her voice muffled: “I apologize for making you laugh.”
