Chapter 22 "The Slitthroat" (Additional Update)

The headless body fell down along with the silver tray held in its hands.

The raging storm stirred up a weak cyclone, and scarlet blood flowed down the neck of the headless body, instantly dyeing the white ground blood red.

Faced with this sudden scene, all the soldiers on the patrol team were stunned.

They were unable to react for a moment, whether it was their companions who were laughing and talking just a second ago, or Fan Yu who suddenly appeared, everything happened too fast.

"Snapped!"

When Fan Yu used his fingers to pry open a corner of the broken wooden bowl, a new blade was formed. A green cyclone emerged from his palm and began to cover the blade.

swoosh...

In the atmosphere, the air flow roared as Fan Yu displayed his power, distorting the surrounding environment.

"Magic?!" The patrol captain's pupils shrank, and he instinctively wanted to draw his sword to block in front of himself.

But the target that Fan Yu was aiming at was not him at close range.

Fan Yu flicked his finger, and the blade gathered in his hand, ready to be launched, suddenly rushed out with a whoosh. Similar to the blurry and terrifying perspective of the first blade, the second blade was thrown at a much faster speed.

shhhhhh!

The blade was wrapped in a turquoise cyclone, which flashed three times in the atmosphere with the sound of breaking through the air, and went straight towards the second patrol member in the field.

"Be careful!" The patrol captain immediately warned the crowd beside him.

The second soldier on the field was the one who had previously eaten the cheese and complained about its taste. He had just heard his captain's loud call and subconsciously turned his head. His neck was perfectly aligned with the weapon thrown by Fan Yu.

puff!

Compared with the first attack, a sharper slash passed through the throat of the second patrol member. As the cutting brought by high-frequency technology penetrated into the human body, the blade wrapped in a turquoise light cut the soldier's throat with almost no damage, and cut off along the gap.

The second head broke away from the body again and rolled into the snow, staining the ground red.

Many soldiers watched this scene and finally reacted.

There was a look of astonishment in their eyes, which then gradually began to change. When the unknown puzzle was answered at this moment, what they felt was an even deeper fear!

The attack blade held by Fan Yu fell to the ground, and the sharpness maintained by the green cyclone disappeared.

The patrol captain looked down at the blade at close range. He didn't even need to test the material. He already knew that it was just the cheapest material from the lush trees around.

They were not worth mentioning at first, but in Fan Yu's hands they became deadly weapons.

"Snapped!"

Aside from the sound of the wind, the clearest sound resounded through the quiet cedar forest. The power flowing through Fan Yu's palm surged into the air, transforming the previously ordinary attack into a deadly one.

The patrol team members had experienced this scene twice in a row. The sharp sounds brought by the wrapped blades seemed like a fatal death warrant to them.

And the final result is indeed true!

The blade turned into a sharp blade and flew out with a whoosh, directly targeting the third patrol member in the field.

This time, abandoning the members who had just appeared, Fan Yu lightly slashed his palm, and the head of the third patrol team member exploded on the spot.

Bang!

A pool of blood exploded with a sound, and the body, which was no longer in human form, fell to the ground.

Then Fan Yu took out another blade and poured his own strength into his hand to give it a sharp and violent power.

puff!

Fourth place...

"Snapped!"

puff!

Fifth, sixth, seventh...

In the cedar forest in the morning, a horrific throat-cutting ceremony was taking place.

More than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground in the forest one after another under the broken wooden bowl blade in Fan Yu's hand.

From being caught off guard at first to finally seeing through it, the series of bizarre killings made them not even think of actively resisting.

The power displayed by Fan Yu was so overwhelming that some, faced with the headless bodies of their companions surrounding the cedar forest, were so terrified that they abandoned everything and prepared to flee. These patrol members were often Fan Yu's first targets.

As time passed, a series of "pop", "pop", and "pop" sounds were heard in the field.

The broken wooden bowl that Fan Yu was carrying had been broken into only two pieces.

The large area of ​​pure white on the original site has been soaked in red, turning the forest here into blood red. More than a dozen headless bodies in patrol uniforms fell in it, emitting a strong smell of blood.

The patrol captain and the only two remaining members stood opposite Fan Yu. They looked at the last two bullets in Fan Yu's hand, and a panic was evident on their faces.

Such a man...

It shouldn't have appeared in a small village. When the patrol captain was young and studying in the imperial capital, he had seen the magical abilities displayed by the wandering Sarkaz. Even those modules that specialized in this field rarely achieved the scene they were facing now.

They also looked down upon the actual objects of the severed heads, which were just a few pieces of wood broken off from a broken wooden bowl, but under the blessing, they were as sharp as flying knives.

And this method of attack...

The patrol captain said in a deep voice, "Are you the 'Slitthroat' who destroyed those elite troops at the mine a few months ago?"

Fan Yu was startled for a moment, then said calmly, "Is that what you call it? That's right."

The patrol captain's hope for the outcome was completely shattered. He knew there was no way he would be let off. His gaze fell on the three blades already divided in Fan Yu's hand. He immediately swung his sword and charged at Fan Yu.

At the same time, he shouted to his men, "Kill him!"

The two infected team members woke up from their dream with fear.

They each drew their weapons and prepared to move forward...

But when he saw the patrol captain's attacking action, he suddenly changed direction. He pushed his two subordinates out and turned to run towards the direction of more trees in the forest.

"Eh? Captain?"

The two patrol members were stunned.

"Don't worry, he can't run away." Fan Yu glanced at him expressionlessly and took a deep breath.

There was a golden light flashing in his eyes, and he snapped his fingers on the spot.

Pole!

Puff (the sound of something exploding)

In an instant, golden ripples rippled in the atmosphere. The patrol captain, who was running, felt an impact on his brain and fell to the ground.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at the two team members in front of him who were blocking the knife, but found that their heads had been separated from their original places.

Chapter 23 "Annihilation"

The patrol captain seemed to sense something terrifying, his pupils trembling non-stop: "What... is this?"

The way the two team members were killed could no longer cause him to have any emotional fluctuations. Instead, the power he felt in his body at this moment, the deterrent force that made him unable to move, made him feel terrified.

This is not a physical threat, but a mental one.

At this moment, he felt that his body was out of control and was no longer under the control of his master.

"Just think of it as a source stone skill!" Fan Yu said lightly.

He picked up the last piece of wood and walked closer to the patrol captain.

There was a trembling sense of fear in the latter's eyes. He tried hard to control his body to retreat, but found that he could not move at all.

As Fan Yu squatted down and spoke, the piece of wood in his hand was covered with a layer of green cyclone and then stuffed into his throat.

"Gu..."

The patrol captain's face was filled with fear, and he made a whining sound in his throat.

Fan Yu's golden pupils stared at him indifferently: "It's rare for someone to be so kind as to interrupt my journey. You... deserve to die!"

Crack!

He exerted force with one hand and stuffed the blade wrapped in Kuang Lan into the patrol captain's mouth, and completely strangled his throat in the next second.

puff!

A pool of blood mist exploded from the patrol captain's head, and blood spilled all over the sky.

……

Tens of minutes later.

Fan Yu tidied himself up and returned to the village entrance.

Tallulah and Alina stood at the intersection waiting for his arrival. As Fan Yu approached, even though Fan Yu had cleaned up on the road, the strong smell of blood on his body could not be concealed.

Tallulah and Alina looked at each other. They both roughly understood what Fan Yu had done during this period.

"Has this been tidied up?" Fan Yu asked curiously.

His gaze fell on the area around the village entrance. The area, once a mess after being looted by the infected patrol, was now empty. Each household seemed to have cleaned up the broken items.

Tallulah put one hand on her waist and nodded. "Yes, almost every household had their belongings looted. Sasha's house was almost completely destroyed. All the furniture will have to be remade by the Augu craftsmen in the next village."

"But that's not the problem right now." Alina looked at the two of them with concern.

Fan Yu understood the meaning of that look and looked at Tallulah.

The latter nodded. "I think it's about time. Ever since the patrol was killed that night, more and more people have been coming from the imperial capital. I'm not sure if the war situation in the Ursus Empire has changed, or if it's simply due to sensitivity here."

But we can’t take any more risks.”

"Then who will talk to grandma?" Fan Yu asked curiously.

Tallulah held her forehead, feeling a headache. "That's what I'm worried about, too. It's not easy to lie to Grandma. Alina...if I tell her I eloped with this guy, will Grandma bless me?"

Alina's mouth twitched, and she hesitated to speak: "I can't help you with this kind of thing. And leaving the village..."

"You said you would take me with you."

Tallulah held her chin in her hand. "Indeed, we agreed on this. If a small boss came over and said he liked you, you might have been taken away without us. Alina, you're a beauty who brings disaster!"

Alina: “…”

"Forget it, let's take a break for a few days. Organize your thoughts, and then find a time to make a decision," said Tallulah.

Alina hummed.

Here...

Time passes quietly.

a few days later.

The brief peace in the small mountain village was broken one evening.

Tallulah and Alina sat in front of the candles. Alina helped Tallulah mend the torn parts of her uniform while they chatted leisurely. The warmth in the room was in stark contrast to the window outside.

Until the wooden door of their house was suddenly pushed open with a clang.

Sasha, the middle-aged man from a few days ago, stood at the door, gasping for breath. "Talulah, this is bad. Those guys from the Empire have found us here, and they're searching for you specifically."

Tallulah's expression froze, and she stood up without even caring about Alina's mending clothes. "Where are they?"

Just then, the window at their side door was opened, and a cold wind blew in their faces, forcing Alina and Tallulah to cover their faces.

"At the entrance of the village, and the guys who came this time are more troublesome. They are elite vanguards coming from the imperial capital, and there are two magicians." Fan Yu stood outside the windowsill and leaned his head in.

Tallulah's face darkened.

Fan Yu looked at her playfully: "After all the thinking over the past few days, now is the time to make a decision."

Tallulah hummed, her expression complicated: "I have to go say goodbye first."

At this point, Tallulah made a request to Fan Yu: "Can you help me intercept for a while? I know you have the ability."

"This, I had already done when I came here. The group of imperial soldiers were facing a storm at the village entrance." Fan Yu said lightly.

Villager Sasha was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, in the direction of the village. A bad wind blew from the forest, and we thought it was the work of the sorcerers."

but……
