The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Yi Zhuxuan was startled, her heart skipped a beat. Seeing the burly man with a knife walking towards her, she instinctively shrank back, shaking her head repeatedly, "No...don't kill me...don't..."

Yi Zhuxuan looked pleadingly at the man who had so easily decided the life and death of her and even the entire village. The cruelty and bloodlust in his eyes were exceptionally obvious. Yi Zhuxuan seemed to realize something and was suddenly startled, as if she had caught something. Yes, she had to take a gamble. No matter what the outcome, she had to try her best!

With a determined look in her heart, Yi Zhuxuan said urgently in a loud voice, "Wait..."

The man snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide his disdain. He had already decided to kill, so what did it matter if he waited? In the end, he couldn't escape his fate of death!

Yi Zhuxuan bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with cruelty and bloodlust. The man sitting in the chair was stunned, his eyes narrowing. This woman, did she still want to fight him? Hmph, overestimating herself!

Just as he was about to order his subordinates to hurry up, the woman, as if she had gone mad, rushed toward the boy who was lying on the corpse and crying. With a strength that seemed to come from nowhere, she grabbed his clothes and shoved him hard, sitting on top of him. It all happened so fast that no one had time to realize what was going on. When everyone came to their senses, they saw the woman pinning the boy to the ground and burying her head in his neck.

"Ah..." The boy's shrill scream echoed through the night sky, and soon after, he fell silent.

Yi Zhuxuan looked up, her mouth already full of blood. The smell of blood filled the air, making the atmosphere even more eerie.

Yi Zhuxuan stared at the man sitting in the chair, issuing orders, her eyes red, as if waiting for his reaction.

Her actions startled even the man. When he came to his senses and looked at the woman with blood all over her mouth, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Ha! Did this woman actually bite the boy to death?

Hmph, how cruel!

Perhaps sensing the light in the man's eyes, Yi Zhuxuan quickly said, "Don't kill me. I will willingly become your weapon and be at your command from now on."

The man raised an eyebrow but didn't answer. Yi Zhuxuan felt a pang of panic. Was he dissatisfied? But just now...

"Show me!" the man's voice suddenly rang out.

Yi Zhuxuan was slightly taken aback, but after a moment she understood. Did he mean to see how useful her weapon was?

A glimmer of hope arose in her heart, and Yi Zhuxuan suddenly stood up, walked to one of the burly men, and took the knife from his hand. Her subordinates, who had received their master's gaze, did not stop her and let her take the knife.

Having obtained the knife, Yi Zhuxuan's bloodlust intensified. Without the slightest hesitation, she brandished the knife and began slashing at the crowd...

"Ah..." With each slash, there were cries of agony and blood everywhere. At this moment, Yi Zhuxuan was like a killing machine. The villagers' fear as they watched this woman approach was even more intense than when they faced the man who wanted their lives. Even though they tried to escape, they ultimately died tragically under the blade of this female demon.

Yi Zhuxuan was in a bloodthirsty frenzy. Towards the end, she killed with a single blow, her actions exceptionally swift. Even the men watching were stunned for a while, wondering to themselves, "Has this woman really gone mad?"

Everyone looked at their master, only to see him still sitting there, his eyes seemingly showing more interest. No one dared to say anything. After an unknown amount of time, the last cry of pleading for mercy abruptly stopped under the blade, and the whole world seemed to fall silent.

The stench of blood permeated the air was exceptionally strong. Yi Zhuxuan seemed to have exhausted all her strength, kneeling on the ground and using the knife she had wiped on the floor for support. She looked as if she would collapse at any moment, but she knew she couldn't fall. She had done all this for only one purpose...

Yi Zhuxuan looked at the man sitting in the chair, her eyes still burning red, "Master, I...I just want to live..."

The man frowned, then abruptly stood up and slowly walked towards Yi Zhuxuan, looking down at her. "You just wanted to live... Ha! Just to live, you killed so many people. Truly a ruthless woman, but..."

The man paused, his eyes narrowing slightly, and continued, "Do you know if you can survive?"

Yi Zhuxuan gritted her teeth, "Please, young master, spare my life, I...I..."

"Haha..." The man suddenly burst into laughter, staring at Yi Zhuxuan for a long time. He hadn't encountered someone so afraid of death in a long time. Afraid of death? That was exactly what he needed. Suddenly, the man's laughter stopped, and he coldly said, "Men, take her back!"

"Yes!" the subordinates replied.

Yi Zhuxuan's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, her face buried in the blood-soaked mud. The pungent smell of blood surrounded her. Take her back? Could she not die?

Yi Zhuxuan dared not breathe a sigh of relief. Even if she didn't die now, she didn't dare to imagine what the future held. She let others drag her body away...

The man's gaze swept over the village, his eyes cold and filled with disgust. "The smell of blood is awful. It seems we can't rest here for the night. Fine, let's set off immediately. Is the Crown Prince... still waiting for us?"

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves, turned, and walked out of the village...

The entire village returned to peace, but it was no longer as vibrant as before. It was shrouded in a deep, deathly silence, which made people feel uneasy in the darkness of the night.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Zhan, who was hiding, finally made a move. At this moment, after witnessing the brutal massacre, the shock and fear in Liu Zhan's heart were still lingering, and he was even a little scared.

Fortunately, fortunately he was a step too slow, fortunately there was another woman here with him. If he had been the one who went out, he would probably be nothing but a corpse now.

Thinking of the scene of that woman killing with bloodshot eyes, Liu Zhan couldn't help but tremble. That woman was truly cruel!

Taking a few deep breaths, Liu Zhan tried to calm himself down. After confirming that it was safe outside, Liu Zhan came out from his hiding place. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, a smile appeared on Liu Zhan's lips.

"Haha... Miss Yan, Miss Yan... It seems that without my personal intervention, all your embroiderers are gone. If you knew this news, you would probably be so angry that you would vomit blood! The Flourishing Flame Sect is now severely weakened. Hmph, you're still too green to fight me, Liu Zhan!" Liu Zhan pointed at the village and spoke frantically. Now, he was spared the trouble of scheming.

Yes, I must tell Mother this news as soon as possible. Mother will be very happy to hear it. Thinking this, Liu Zhan turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something, and the sinister look in his eyes became even more intense.
