Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"Brother Ling!"

Zhang Ling raised his head and saw Liu Ruoyun, who was holding a submachine gun in her hand, with cold eyes and murderous intent.

"Ruoyun..." Zhang Ling called weakly.

Liu Ruoyun didn't say anything. She raised her submachine gun and fired at the murderer's men...

The sound of gunfire echoed in the abandoned factory...

Blood dyed the ground red...

Zhang Ling looked at this scene and was shocked...

He knew that Liu Ruoyun was no longer the gentle and virtuous woman...

She has become a goddess of vengeance...

......

Zhang Ling woke up suddenly and found himself still lying on the bed, sweating profusely.

He turned his head to look at the bed, but found that Liu Ruoyun was gone.

He was startled and quickly got up from the bed, looking around for Liu Ruoyun.

"Ruoyun! Ruoyun!" he shouted loudly.

Suddenly, he heard a slight sound. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Liu Ruoyun standing by the window, holding a dagger in her hand and staring out the window with cold eyes.

There was a man standing outside the window, it was Li Yunlong.

"Li Yunlong...what...what are you going to do..." Zhang Ling asked vigilantly.

Li Yunlong did not answer. He just looked at Zhang Ling coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent...

Liu Ruoyun was quick-witted and quick-handed. She pushed Zhang Ling away, but she failed to dodge the attack completely. The bayonet cut her left arm and blood gushed out instantly.

"Ruoyun!" Zhang Ling's eyes were bloodshot. He tried his best to grab the Japanese soldier's leg and yanked him to the ground. The Japanese soldier lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Liu Ruoyun endured the severe pain, raised her submachine gun, and fired a volley of bullets at the Japanese soldier's head.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

The Japanese soldier's head was beaten into a sieve, and blood and brain matter were splattered all over the ground.

"Cough cough..." Zhang Ling started coughing violently again, and blood kept flowing out from the corners of his mouth.

Liu Ruoyun threw away her submachine gun, rushed to Zhang Ling, tore off her clothes and helped him bandage his wounds.

"Brother Ling, hold on, I'll take you away from here!" Liu Ruoyun's voice was choked with sobs.

"It's... it's useless... I... I'm almost dying..." Zhang Ling said weakly, "You... you go away... don't worry about me..."

"No! I won't abandon you!" Liu Ruoyun burst into tears, "I promised you that I would be with you... forever..."

She carried Zhang Ling on her back and walked down the hillside with difficulty.

The night was getting darker and darker, the mountain road was rugged and uneven, and every step Liu Ruoyun took was extremely difficult.

"Ruoyun...let...let me go...you...save your life on your own..." Zhang Ling said intermittently.

"Shut up!" Liu Ruoyun gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, "I won't give up!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Liu Ruoyun looked back vigilantly and saw a group of Japanese soldiers chasing them.

"Damn it!" Liu Ruoyun cursed inwardly, she knew she had no way to escape.

She gently placed Zhang Ling on the ground, picked up the submachine gun, aimed at the charging Japanese soldiers, and pulled the trigger.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

Tongues of fire spurted out from the submachine gun, and several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

But more Japanese soldiers rushed up and surrounded Liu Ruoyun and Zhang Ling like a group of bloodthirsty beasts.

"Hahaha... now let's see where you can run!" said a Japanese officer with a grin.

Liu Ruoyun had run out of bullets. She threw away her submachine gun, pulled out her dagger, and prepared for a final fight.

"Ruoyun...don't...don't worry about me...just go away..." Zhang Ling said with his last bit of strength.

Liu Ruoyun ignored Zhang Ling. She held the dagger tightly, her eyes full of determination.

"Come on! You beasts!" She roared and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers.

......

"No! Ruoyun——"

Zhang Ling roared in despair. Everything in front of his eyes was blurry. He could only see Liu Ruoyun's figure dashing left and right among the Japanese troops, like a wounded butterfly making her last struggle.

How much he wanted to stand up and fight alongside Liu Ruoyun, but he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

He could only watch as Liu Ruoyun was surrounded by Japanese soldiers, as she was stabbed with a bayonet, and as she fell in a pool of blood...

"what--"

Zhang Ling let out a heart-wrenching roar, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was filled with endless hatred.

"You...all deserve to die!"

......

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ling slowly opened his eyes.

He found himself lying on a patch of soft grass, surrounded by a dense forest.

"I...I'm not dead?" Zhang Ling was a little confused.

He struggled to sit up and found that his injuries had healed.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ling looked around, his heart full of doubts.

Just then, a voice sounded in his mind.

"Welcome to...another world..."

Zhang Ling was startled. He looked around but couldn't see anyone.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I am... the system..." the voice sounded again, "You... have been chosen..."

"System? Selected?" Zhang Ling was even more confused.

"Yes...you will have...great power..." the voice continued, "you...will become...the Avenger..."

"Avenger?" Zhang Ling murmured to himself, and the scene of Liu Ruoyun being killed by Japanese soldiers emerged in his mind.

There was a cold light in his eyes and he clenched his fists tightly.

"I want revenge..." He gritted his teeth and said, "I want those beasts to pay with blood!"

"Very good..." the voice said with satisfaction, "Now... start your... journey of revenge..."

A white light flashed, and a virtual panel appeared in front of Zhang Ling.

The panel shows his various attributes:

Power: 10

Agility: 10

Intelligence: 10

Stamina: 10

Spirit: 10

Skills: None

Equipment: none

"What...is this?" Zhang Ling looked at the panel, his heart full of curiosity.

"This is... your attribute panel..." the voice explained, "You can improve your attributes by completing tasks..."

"Mission?" Zhang Ling asked.

"Yes...your first mission...is...to find...the Sword of Vengeance..."

"Sword of Vengeance?"

"Yes...it...will give you...great power..."

"Where...can I find it?"

"It's... deep in this forest..."

Zhang Ling took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the depths of the forest...

Liu Ruoyun was quick to push Zhang Ling away, but she herself failed to dodge the devil's bayonet. The sharp blade pierced her left shoulder, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Ruoyun!" Zhang Ling's eyes were bloodshot. He tried his best to grab the Japanese's rifle and pulled it back fiercely. The Japanese was caught off guard and staggered, and the bayonet was pulled out of Liu Ruoyun's shoulder.

Liu Ruoyun groaned, staggered back a few steps, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Zhang Ling endured the severe pain in his body, turned over, snatched the Japanese's rifle, and shot him in the head.

"boom!"

The devil fell to the ground, blood and brains splattered all over the ground.

"Ruoyun! How are you?" Zhang Ling threw away his rifle, hugged Liu Ruoyun, and asked anxiously.

Liu Ruoyun gritted her teeth, shook her head, and said, "I... I'm fine..."

"You say it's okay! You've lost so much blood!" Zhang Ling checked Liu Ruoyun's wound with heartache. The blood had dyed half of her body red.

"Really...it's okay...just...a little injury..." Liu Ruoyun tried to remain calm, but her trembling voice exposed her weakness at the moment.

Zhang Ling said no more. He tore off the only piece of clean cloth left on his body and wrapped it tightly around Liu Ruoyun's wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Hiss..." Liu Ruoyun took a breath of cold air.

"Hold on!" Zhang Ling said, "We have to get out of here quickly!"

He supported Liu Ruoyun and stood up with difficulty. He looked around and found that the Japanese had been defeated and the remaining few were fleeing everywhere.

"It seems...we...won..." Liu Ruoyun said weakly.

"Yes, we won..." Zhang Ling looked at Liu Ruoyun's pale face, feeling mixed emotions. This victory was not easy to come by, and they paid too much.

He supported Liu Ruoyun and walked down the mountain step by step.

......

A month later, in a small town clinic.

Zhang Ling was lying on the bed, his injuries had mostly healed. Liu Ruoyun was sitting beside the bed, holding a book in her hand, reading a story to Zhang Ling.

"Once upon a time, there was a scholar..." Liu Ruoyun's voice was gentle and sweet, like a spring breeze, blowing across Zhang Ling's heart.

Zhang Ling listened quietly, his eyes fell on Liu Ruoyun's face, his eyes full of tenderness.

Liu Ruoyun's complexion has returned to its rosy color, but the scar on her left shoulder is still clearly visible.

"Are you... still in pain?" Zhang Ling asked.

Liu Ruoyun put down the book, gently stroked the scar on her shoulder, and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore... just... a little itchy..."

"That's good..." Zhang Ling smiled and said, "When we...return to Beiping...I will...marry you..."

Liu Ruoyun's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head and whispered, "Hmm..."

"Are you...willing to marry me?" Zhang Ling asked again, his tone full of anticipation.

"I... am willing..." Liu Ruoyun raised her head, looked into Zhang Ling's eyes, and said firmly.

A happy smile appeared on Zhang Ling's face. He reached out and gently stroked Liu Ruoyun's cheek.

"Ruoyun..."

"Um..."

"I love you..."

Liu Ruoyun's eyes were moist. She held Zhang Ling's hand tightly and said, "I... love you too..."

The two looked at each other affectionately, as if time had stood still.

At this moment, the door of the clinic was suddenly pushed open, and a man in military uniform walked in.

"Zhang Ling! You are hiding here and enjoying your life!" the man said with a big laugh.

Zhang Ling and Liu Ruoyun were both stunned. They looked at the person who came and didn't react for a while.

"Old... Old Li?" Zhang Ling looked at the man in disbelief. "Why...why are you here?"

The person who came was Li Yunlong.

"Why can't I be here?" Li Yunlong walked to the bedside, patted Zhang Ling on the shoulder, and said, "You are lucky, kid. I thought you would never wake up again!"

"I...I'm fine..." Zhang Ling said, "By the way...how did you know I was here?"

"Ruoyun told me," Li Yunlong said, "She came to me and told me you were missing, so I sent people to look for you everywhere, and finally found you."

Zhang Ling looked at Liu Ruoyun, who smiled at him and said, "I...I'm worried about you..."
