Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Female Demon Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Female Demon The two men named by Bald, were the very two who had just declared that Zhan Lan wouldn’t be able to walk out of there. They glanced at their brother’s head, then at the sword in Zhan Lan’s hand, and charged with trembling legs. Puh! Before they could get close, two arcs of fresh blood sprayed in mid-air from their necks, and the two men fell down simultaneously. “Ah...” Clutching their gushing bloody necks, they were so terrified that they couldn’t make any sound. Zhan Lan dismounted and stepped over the bodies, walking up to Bald. Bald’s eyes turned cold, he released his foot, and the man on the ground got up like a zombie, looking numbly at the burnt-out frame of the straw hut. His face was gaunt, but he possessed an ambiguously androgynous beauty. Because of his sharp facial contours that didn’t seem feminine, one would just think that he was a masterpiece meticulously carved by Nuwa. Zhan Lan only glanced at his profile, feeling a tightness in her throat and a sting in her eyes. It was Xiao Chen! Seeing him again felt like a lifetime had passed. Xiao Chen didn’t notice Zhan Lan; he seemed to be nothing more than a shell, completely lifeless. Behind Bald was a carriage, and the kidnappers were so scared that they wet their pants. They shouted, “Big brother, let’s hurry... and escape!” Bald stepped back and roared, “Aren’t you going to call for backup!” Just as the two men were about to leave, Zhan Lan was quicker; with her sword, she cornered them at the wall. The two girls tied up in the carriage didn’t dare to move for fear, and Zhan Lan untied the ropes binding them. Without even thanking her, the two girls ran home in terror. Bald drew a knife from his waist and pointed it at Zhan Lan, “Little Miss, we have no grudge, do you know whose men we are to dare to kill? Who are you?” Zhan Lan gripped her Soft Sword tightly, she didn’t know this Bald, but she was clear on one thing. The appearance of refugees allowed these vermin from the gutters to pose as refugees and loot. In her previous life, a gang pretending to be refugees were sent to the Capital Government. One of them was the Bald Tyrant. If Zhan Lan wasn’t mistaken, this man should be the Bald Tyrant. “You don’t deserve to know who I am!” Zhan Lan’s sword met Bald’s knife head-on. Bald’s arm trembled under the shock of Zhan Lan’s weapon. In three moves, Zhan Lan’s sword was already at Bald’s neck. After disarming Bald’s dagger, the light in his eyes dimmed as he whispered shakily, “Miss, we merely robbed a bit of food, kidnapped some women, it doesn’t need to be so absolute, right?” Bald’s gaze shifted to the two subordinates crouched in the corner. Thinking Zhan Lan wasn’t paying attention, they attempted to sneak off to get help. “Today, whoever dares to leave, dies!” Zhan Lan’s gaze casually swept over them, and they were frightened enough to crouch back down, hugging their heads. “Miss, please spare our lives!” Seeing no one coming to the rescue, Bald’s eyes shifted as he swallowed nervously, feigning civility, “Miss, we won’t leave; we’ll return the grain to the villagers!” Zhan Lan scoffed internally; did Bald take her for a fool! As he spoke, Bald’s eyes gradually turned vicious, he quietly pulled out a dagger coated with poison from his sleeve and viciously stabbed toward Zhan Lan’s abdomen. Zhan Lan, already prepared, stepped back and kicked the dagger in Bald’s hand away. The forceful dagger flew and directly pierced into the eyes of the man in the corner with his face covered; black blood flowed out instantly, and he fell to the ground, dead. “Ah!” The other man screamed, his eyes and mouth splashed with his companion’s poisonous black blood. Desperately rubbing his eyes with his sleeve. Today, he had already witnessed the tragic deaths of four people who came with him. This girl is nothing but a female demon who specializes in taking lives! Before long, he too spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the two died head-to-head together. “Idiots!” Bald did not feel the slightest guilty as he looked upon his dead brothers; he only blamed them for not being capable enough to save him! Bald was swiftly subdued by Zhan Lan, and the tendons in his feet were severed by the soft sword in her hand! “No!” Bald let out a terrible scream. Amidst the thick smoke, the villagers couldn’t see the horrors occurring at the entrance to the village. But just by hearing the agonized screams of several people, they could imagine the terrible scene. They felt both fear and a sense of satisfaction. The children had already been taken back to their homes by the adults who locked the doors, too afraid to come out. The village chief, although old, was worldly and spoke to the dozen or so young men armed with sticks behind him: “Go help Miss Zhan, those people can’t be left alive.” He knew that these ruffians would continue to harass them until they’d squeezed Xiaohe Village dry of its last bit of value. Children and women would be sold off, while the fate of the elders might be to die in a fire one night. “Yes, Chief!” These dozen young men, refugees starved and no longer looking youthful. Hearing the commotion at the entrance of the village, it was as if a fire had ignited in their chests. If Zhan Lan, a girl in her teens, could handle so many hoodlums, why couldn’t they, grown men over six feet tall? Why were they still afraid to step up, hiding like cowards! “Let’s go!” The leader, armed with a stick and a rope, called out as he raised his arm. By the time they arrived, Bald was already pinned under Zhan Lan’s feet, trembling all over, lying limp on the ground like a spineless creature. Zhan Lan calmly wiped the blood from her soft sword using Bald’s clothes. Each wipe would make Bald close his eyes and shudder. To him, this fear was even worse than a quick death. “Ah, this!” The refugee’s pupils dilated with horror as they looked at the bodies on the ground. Even the men felt their legs go weak at the sight before them. The girl who had just helped them during the day was so kind and beautiful. But come night, she seemed to turn into another person. The murderous aura and the indifference radiating from her chilled their bones, deterring them from approaching. Miss Zhan stood there in a red outfit, with the soft sword in hand. The expression she wore while she spoke was that of an innocent girl oblivious to the world. However, the content of her speech made their hands tremble. Zhan Lan turned back and smiled slightly, “I’ll trouble you brothers to burn these bodies.” Burn the bodies? They couldn’t believe their ears. Zhan Lan’s smile faded, and she spoke in a grave tone: “They bullied your women, children, and even wanted to burn down your homes. It’s impossible to reason with such people. Some are simply born evil; if you back away, they will advance, leaving you no room for survival until they corner you to a dead end. Rather than lead an ignoble existence, it’s better to fight for a living chance for yourself and your family!” “Aren’t you men supposed to take up arms and protect those you wish to protect?” Question after question from Zhan Lan shamed the men. They hung their heads, and after a moment, they gradually looked up at Zhan Lan. “Yes, the lady is right!” Zhan Lan looked again towards Xiao Chen and asked him, “Sir, they’ve bullied you, are you just going to endure it?”
