Chapter 1 A Twist
Without the slightest surprise, when the middle-aged cultivator probed the newcomer's cultivation level, he immediately grabbed a woman, drew a treasured blade, and held it to her neck.
With no preparation, and without a care, you just appeared in my world, bringing me surprise...
Man Yaoyao was stunned.
Huh? Didn't expect this move.
Lei Shao sighed and leaned weakly against the wall, resembling Xia Dayu in the Golden Immortal Secret Realm.
Back then, Xia Dayu observed him doing tasks in stealth.
And now, he was observing Man Yaoyao doing tasks in stealth.
Same mood, same helplessness.
"Who are you? Take another step forward, and I'll kill her!"
"Hmph, release her now, and I might leave you a whole corpse. Otherwise, if you fall into my hands, I'll... I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!"
Alas, such idiotic dialogue. Are you reading the same Wuxia novel?
Big brother, it's obvious that she's here to kill you and save people. Why are you asking who she is? Are you crazy?
And you, you're about to kill him, why would he release the person? He's about to die, why would he care about a whole corpse?
Damn author, give me the pen, let me design the lines!!!
But clearly, the author's level isn't high, and can only design such idiotic lines. The pen can't be given to Lei Shao, so he can only write it this way.
"Stop talking nonsense. None of you from the Han Sword Sect are good people. Everyone should kill you. My greatest wish in this life is to kill all of you from the Han Sword Sect. Killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus!"
Big brother, please stop talking, or you really won't be able to leave.
"Han Sword Sect? What's that? I'm not from the Han Sword Sect."
Big sister, you stop talking too. Just fight. If you chat any longer, you'll be exchanging birthdates.
"Nonsense, if you're not from the Han Sword Sect, why are you here to save these two villains? Stop talking nonsense and immediately drop your weapon and surrender. Abolish your cultivation, or I'll kill one right away."
Why don't you just kill me? I really can't stand these embarrassing lines.
You're even asking her to drop her weapon and surrender. Please, she's here to kill you, not to deliver food. What are you dreaming of?
Man Yaoyao is a bit slow, but she's not stupid. Naturally, she wouldn't obediently drop her weapon and abolish her cultivation.
"Hmph, someone like you, a lecherous thief, doesn't deserve to live in this world. I'm here to punish you on behalf of heaven. Prepare to die."
If I have sinned, please let heaven punish me, instead of making me listen to these two idiots acting out this awkward scene.
Lei Shao's toes curled up in embarrassment, digging out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground.
Man Yaoyao strode forward with her sword, which was already surrounded by lightning.
"Don't come over. Take another step forward, and I'll kill someone."
The middle-aged cultivator's eyes were filled with horror, but even more so with hatred.
He hated the woman he was holding hostage, and even more so the Qi Man Yao in front of him. Clearly, he regarded Qi Man Yao as someone from the same faction as that woman.
"I suddenly remember that my mission is to kill you, not to save them. Kill them if you want. It's none of my business."
Lei Shao nodded in satisfaction. Man Yaoyao had finally learned to pretend, feigning indifference to the hostages to elevate herself and intimidate the enemy.
Qi Man Yao shouted softly and swung her sword, rushing forward. Before she arrived, a bolt of lightning struck first.
Seeing this, the cultivator's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and the treasured blade in his hand began to exert its power.
Seeing that Man Yaoyao was about to complete the glorious feat of killing the hostage and rescuing the bandits, Lei Shao finally couldn't sit still.
He lightly tapped his toes on the ground, and a bolt of lightning entered the ground.
The speed of this lightning was faster than Qi Man Yao's lightning and the middle-aged cultivator's throat-slitting motion. It truly achieved the speed of lightning, entering the middle-aged cultivator's feet from the ground in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, the middle-aged cultivator screamed and fell to the ground, convulsing.
Wan Lei controlled the strength of this strike, enough to seriously injure the enemy and deprive him of his ability to resist, but not enough to kill him immediately.
After all, killing the opponent was Man Yaoyao's task, and he couldn't steal her kill.
"Oh? Am I that powerful?"
Man Yaoyao didn't know that someone had helped her, and thought she was able to defeat the opponent before he killed the hostage.
She immediately ran to the two women. Seeing that the clothes next to them had been torn to pieces, she took out two of her own robes from her storage bag and handed them over.
"Put these on quickly. You're safe now."
"Thank you, female hero. May we ask your honorable name? We will definitely repay your great kindness in the future."
"I do good deeds without leaving a name. You can call me the Scourge of Heaven."
Lei Shao almost thought she was going to say she was Lei Feng.
"You... are you from the Scourge of Heaven organization?!"
The middle-aged cultivator stopped convulsing, struggling to sit up from the ground, staring at Qi Man Yao in shock and anger.
"That's right. We are the messengers of justice, the incarnations of heavenly punishment, the Scourge of Heaven!"
Should we just kill Man Yaoyao? Or sew her mouth shut.
"You..."
The cultivator was instantly consumed by anger, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Hmph, now you know fear? It's too late. Prepare to die!"
Big sister, which eye of yours saw that he was afraid? He was clearly just angry.
"You are the Scourge of Heaven... you are the Scourge of Heaven..."
The middle-aged cultivator muttered to himself twice, his eyes bloodshot, and suddenly glared at Qi Man Yao.
"Then kill them! Why kill me? Aren't you the incarnation of justice? Then go kill these two villains! Why kill me!"
Oh ho, there's something hidden.
Lei Shao finally perked up.
"What do you mean? You're the one doing bad things, why should I kill them?"
No matter how you look at it, these two women are victims, being bullied and ravaged. This middle-aged cultivator is the villain, the perpetrator, the one who should be punished.
Anyone who isn't blind can see that.
"You don't know anything. You think what you see is everything. Why don't you ask why I captured them and tortured them, why I didn't choose others but chose them!"
"That's blaming the victim!"
"Bah, they are guilty!
They are guilty and you don't punish them. I'm avenging my daughter and you come to kill me. Are you the Scourge of Heaven or feminist warriors? Do you only care about whether women are being bullied? Then why don't you avenge my daughter?!"
"They... what did they do?"
Qi Man Yao couldn't help but look at the two women, but their eyes were somewhat evasive, not daring to meet Qi Man Yao's gaze.
"My daughter, she..."
The middle-aged cultivator leaned against the wall, tears flashing in his eyes, filled with longing, pain, and endless hatred.
"Her mother died early, and I single-handedly raised her with great difficulty..."
