I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 45: The Demise of the Black Forest Gang

Sword drawn, shadow flashes!

Before the henchmen who rushed up could react, they were already screaming and falling to the ground.

Qin Yiyao's sword was too fast. They could only feel a chill brush against their necks before their bodies went out of control and they fell straight down.

The bright red blood stained the mountain road in Black Forest Mountain.

She rose again with graceful steps, like a ghost, her sword flashing incessantly. With each swing, she reaped a life. In just a few breaths, more than a dozen corpses of henchmen lay at her feet, their eyes wide open in death.

And that light blue and white dress was not stained with a single stain.

Qin Yiyao coldly flicked her longsword, then slowly and gracefully walked upstairs.

"What kind of evil magic is this?!"

The deputy gang leader stared in shock, his eyes widening as Qin Yiyao drew closer, he kept backing away.

These gang members were all cultivators; even the weakest among them had at least five or six at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment! Yet they were killed by that young girl?

She's only at the second level of Foundation Establishment!

Could it be another prodigy from some powerful faction? But the Black Forest Gang has never offended such a person before, so how did they suddenly suffer such a devastating disaster?

Qin Yiyao ignored his shock and confusion; killing a few ants was nothing to be proud of.

"Since you want to block my way, then prepare to die."

She spoke coldly, and before she finished, she suddenly sprang up, her Cold Moon Sword transforming into a shooting star as she flew away! The vice-leader roared and swung his hammer in a wide arc, attempting to block the attack!

There was no sound of collision as expected.

Because the Cold Moon Sword was directly cut in half by the giant hammer, as if it had only sliced ​​through a lump of mud.

She pressed her advantage, her slender arm suddenly exerting force, and the sword flashed down overhead!

"How...how could this be...No, it's impossible—"

A mocking smile appeared on Qin Yiyao's lips. Behind her, the headless corpse swayed and fell, the words that were about to be uttered were thus silenced.

Of all the Black Forest Gang members, only the gang leader might be able to put pressure on her.

It is said that Huang Su is at the tenth level of Core Formation, but perhaps he has already made a breakthrough. In any case, Qin Yiyao is determined to take his life today.

She walked step by step up the mountain path, while over at Shizhai, as many of her followers escaped back, Huang Su received a series of bad news and finally could no longer sit still!

Inside the main hall of Shizhai.

After listening to his subordinate's report with a gloomy face, Huang Su slammed his fist on the table, shattering it with a deafening sound that echoed in the empty hall.

He roared, "Useless! A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

"Master! That little girl's kung fu is amazing! Seventy or eighty percent of our men have been killed or wounded!" his subordinate said with a mournful face.

"Being killed like this by a Foundation Establishment Stage 2 girl, it's more useful to raise a few pigs than to raise you bunch of bastards!"

Huang Su roared, seemingly unable to quell his anger, and kicked out with tremendous force, sending his trembling subordinate crashing through the wall. His head lolled to the side, and he died instantly.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

The rest of his men remained silent, not daring to utter a single word. Huang Su stood up, his face contorted with rage. He pointed at the group and roared, "What are you all standing there for? Get out there and gather information! I want to capture that damned brat alive, break her arms and legs, and sell her to a brothel so all the men can have their way with her!"

His men trembled; none dared to defy him, nor did they have the strength to do so. They could only obey and leave.

After they left, the ferocity on Huang Su's face lessened slightly. He took a deep breath and muttered, "This girl was able to kill three hundred of my elite gang members. Just who is she?"

He wondered if his men had recently offended someone they shouldn't have, otherwise why would a young girl suddenly attack the Black Forest Gang?

But the idea was quickly dismissed.

It wasn't that he couldn't understand, but rather that he could hear sounds coming from outside the stone stronghold... the chaotic sounds of his gang being slaughtered.

Then, the main entrance to the hall was smashed open by two corpses that flew out backwards!

Qin Yiyao slowly walked in, the sword in her hand gleaming coldly, blood beads flowing down the blade. Her gaze was fixed on the middle-aged fat man sitting in the main seat of the hall.

"You're Huang Su, the leader of the Black Forest Gang?"

Seeing that the man had a fierce face, a thick beard, and a menacing aura, she knew that he was a bloodthirsty and ruthless person.

Looking at Qin Yiyao's charming and beautiful face, Huang Su felt a surge of desire.

He had never seen such a beauty before. Compared to this young lady, his own mistresses were like withered flowers and fallen willows.

But he had never met anyone at the second level of Foundation Establishment who could treat his Black Forest Gang's numerous members as nothing!

This girl doesn't look like a simple character, but the Black Forest Gang has been standing outside Yunling City for over ten years. How could they be intimidated by a mere immature girl!

"That's right, it is indeed this leader." He arrogantly raised his chin and said with a fierce expression.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyao curled her lips into a mocking smile: "I'll give you a chance, fight me, or I'll behead you!"

But Huang Su didn't move; his whole body was tense, and he slowly leaned forward.

"May I ask which faction you belong to, and why you are attacking my Black Forest Gang?"

Qin Yiyao scoffed lightly, reached into her collar, and pulled out the purple-gold spirit pendant.

"Your lackeys seem to really enjoy bullying me." Her tone was somewhat mocking, but her eyes remained as cold as knives.

"You, you are..."

Huang Su's pupils suddenly contracted. "So you're a woman?"

Upon seeing the spirit pendant, Huang Su remembered that Hong Ba had died because he was chasing after a mortal boy, only to be intercepted and killed halfway. This girl in front of him was not some mortal without any cultivation, but a cultivator at the second level of Foundation Establishment!

Moreover, it can even fight opponents of higher levels!

"Give me your life."

Qin Yiyao didn't want to waste any more words with this guy.

With that, she swung her Cold Moon Sword, the chilling sword energy like a sharp arrow, aimed straight at Huang Su's throat!

Huang Su had anticipated her move and immediately leaped aside to avoid her attack. However, the chair he was sitting on shattered with a crash.

"Heh, you do have some skill, no wonder you're so arrogant."

"Too bad, you're too green!"

He let out a low shout, and a powerful spiritual force surged from his dantian into his right palm. Then he thrust out a palm with a thunderous wind, aiming straight for Qin Yiyao's vitals!

Her attack was a killing blow! But Qin Yiyao didn't retreat; instead, she advanced, thrusting her Cold Moon Sword repeatedly, unleashing the first move of the Moon Frost Sword Technique!

Moon Kill!

An extremely sharp sword aura rushed towards Huang Su!

"Hmph, a mere trick!" Huang Su sneered.

But when the two forces collided and the gusts of wind from the explosion swept in all directions, Huang Su's expression finally froze!

The true power contained in that sword move made him feel a sense of danger.

Huang Su took a few steps back, and there were crisscrossing bloodstains on his palm, bright red and glaring!

"Damn, how can this girl be so amazing?"

The other party was just a young girl, yet she managed to hurt him?

Qin Yiyao had a cold smile on her lips, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

She continued to draw her sword, and Huang Su was also forced to retaliate. The battle became chaotic in the main hall of the stone village, with their qi and sword shadows clashing and fighting. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged more than ten blows!

Qin Yiyao didn't intend to continue this protracted struggle.

After all, she was only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, with a weak foundation, which was a natural disadvantage. In the end, Huang Su would definitely have more strength left over.

Huang Su thought so too.

"Don't push your luck!"

He roared, and with a thrust of his palms, he sent Qin Yiyao staggering back ten steps. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he flicked his wrist and a brown pill appeared between his fingers. Huang Su swallowed it without hesitation!

In an instant, his muscles swelled up and his bones cracked.

His skin swelled up rapidly, his whole body became thicker, and his facial features became distorted and ferocious!

Huang Su roared wildly, his body emitting white smoke, clearly having taken some kind of pill to stimulate his potential. Such a secret technique requires paying a heavy price for each use, unless absolutely necessary.

Qin Yiyao glanced at him, then looked away.

This guy was forced to use his trump card by her!

"You've pushed me to this point, so you'll die a worthwhile death! Prepare to die!"

Huang Su's eyes had turned bloodshot, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent, like a bloodthirsty beast. His movements were as fast as lightning, and his strength had also increased a lot. When he threw a punch, even the air trembled and made a whistling sound.

Qin Yiyao snorted coldly, neither dodging nor flinching.

"Since you are looking for death, then I will help you!"

Having said that, she also brandished her longsword and charged forward to meet the attack.

The second move of the Moon Frost Sword Technique has been released!

In an instant, the force of the fist roared and the sword shadows crisscrossed. The entire hall was filled with terrifying pressure. No one could have imagined that a girl at the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage, who had not even had any cultivation a few days ago, had forced the Black Forest Gang, the tyrant of the south of the city, into such a state.

"boom--"

With a muffled thud, the sword shadow pierced through the fist's force, heading straight for Huang Su's neck. The chilling blade was only an inch away from him, and Huang Su's pupils contracted violently.

"No!" he roared, raising his arm with all his might to defend himself!

Poof——

As soon as the sword was drawn, blood splattered.

Qin Yiyao gasped for breath as she watched Huang Su clutch his neck and collapse, his eyes filled with resentment.

Do not look down.

Her upper body was indeed spotless, without a single drop of blood on it, though it looked somewhat disheveled, with a few traces of blood on the hem of her dress.

She glanced coldly at the corpse lying on the ground, showing little reaction, as if she had just done something utterly ordinary.

The "Holy Yao Emperor" has conquered half the world's territory, and she has long been the calm and ruthless empress. Even if she is reborn, this will not change.

She then walked out of the lobby.

From this day forward, the Black Forest Gang will be destroyed. Qin Yiyao deliberately spared some gang members, who will embellish the story and spread it around, giving busybodies plenty of fodder for gossip.

Everyone would surely assume that this was done by a prodigy from some powerful force.

They would never have guessed that she actually lived in the south of Yunling City, mingling among the ordinary people in the city.
