The Villain Saint is my secondary account

However, the man merely gave a disdainful smile, then flicked his arm, and the sharp hook sickle, gleaming with a cold light, flew towards Ye Xiao once more.

"You're not worthy."

"Tsk."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of negotiating, Ye Xiao could only sigh, holding the dead infant that had fallen from the stone statue in his left hand, and gripping the hilt of the sword on his back with his right hand again.

……

At the same time, at a tavern near the edge of the lower city.

Mingya, who was lying in her room waiting idly, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Brother Ye, you're back?"

Mingya got up and instinctively walked to the door to open it.

But just as he placed his hand on the doorknob, he suddenly remembered that Ye Xiao, being the kind person he was, never knocked before entering his room.

This suddenly made him wary, and he immediately took half a step back.

It was this half-step that brought him close to death.

Almost instantly, a gleaming blade suddenly pierced through the solid door panel, coming within half an inch of Mingya's chest, who was dressed in plain clothes.

"Fuck!"

Mingya cursed, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat, but before he could react, the door to the room was suddenly smashed open.

Amidst the flying wood chips, a short figure wielding a long sword and wearing a cloth robe appeared and charged at Mingya without saying a word.

Chapter 85 Ambush from All Sides

What's going on! ?

Seeing the gleaming longsword coming at him, Mingya's eyes widened, and he dodged in a sorry state.

Perhaps it was good luck, or perhaps he did possess some kind of talent, but he actually managed to dodge that fierce sword strike right past him.

The sword sliced ​​open his clothes, leaving only a faint bloodstain on his chest before disappearing into the wall behind him.

After missing his target twice, the attacker's eyes, peeking out from under his hood, flashed with a hint of doubt. It was during this brief moment that Mingya managed to roll to the bedside, pick up the hilt of the sword leaning against the bedside table, and hastily draw it.

After arriving in the main city, Ye Xiao spent some gold coins on the way to exchange Mingya's previous beginner sword. Although he hadn't gotten used to it yet, the killing intent revealed by the sword's blade, forged from orcish-crafted steel, was indeed much fiercer than the previous sword.

Then, a flash of cold light appeared, and Mingya decisively swung his sword at the attacker by the window.

The other party was clearly there to kill him, so there was no point in saying anything at this point.

Having survived a week of battling monsters on a deserted island, Mingya's swift reaction to crisis was already ingrained in his very being.

Even if players in the early stages of the game don't have honed their sword skills, the skills provided by the system will not be biased.

Therefore, in the attacker's eyes, this guy clearly did not have any swordsman's rules in terms of footwork and breathing, but the sword strike he casually slashed was surprisingly stable.

What kind of number is this?

The attacker was surprised and, out of caution, did not take Mingya's sword strike head-on. He did not even remove the weapon stuck in the wall before simply dodging to the side.

Seeing that his opponent had merely dodged and was unarmed, Mingya was immediately overjoyed and quickly followed up with another skill to press his advantage.

Even though he staggered and swayed as if he were drunk in his haste, the double slashes he unleashed with his sword were surprisingly fierce and skillful.

The attacker had never seen such strange swordsmanship that was so uncoordinated, and he dodged again, retreating to the corridor outside the door.

But this guy wasn't just dodging. After observing Mingya's attacks twice, he found that apart from his swordsmanship being more proficient than his footwork, he didn't demonstrate anything truly threatening.

The corridor was a suspended walkway with railings, with the bustling lobby below. This commotion naturally attracted the attention of many others, who all looked up.

One of the girls, who was furtively wrapped in a black robe, also looked up and saw this scene. When she saw Mingya's familiar face, she showed a surprised expression.

"How did they get here? Weren't they supposed to be going out to sea?"

Back on Mingya's side, seeing his opponent drop his weapon and dodge several times in a disheveled manner, he thought he had finally gained the upper hand and was about to strike with his sword when he saw his opponent suddenly make a strange hand gesture in front of his chest with one hand.

Mingya's pupils trembled as he recalled the move that the koi girl had used earlier.

An ominous premonition arose in his heart, but then a sudden gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, lifting his body up and throwing him along the walkway like a leaf.

The surrounding wooden railings were torn to shreds, and Mingya's body rolled several meters on the ground, his longsword falling from his hand.

"You're cheating..."

Mingya, lying on the ground, coughed up blood and watched as the black-clad figure casually made a grasping motion in the air, and the sword that had been stuck in the wall of the room was swept away by a strong wind and flew into the other party's hand.

Seriously, bro? This isn't swordsmanship; it's practically magic!

Mingya's eyes widened. This incredible wind-controlling technique completely destroyed his confidence in fighting the opponent. However, the fall he had just taken was too hard, and his body felt like it was falling apart. He was unable to get up from the ground immediately.

The orcs and goblins who had been watching the spectacle on the walkway naturally dispersed upon seeing this commotion, not wanting to be dragged into this undeserved disaster.

Seeing the other party approaching step by step, Mingya endured the excruciating pain and tried to grit her teeth and get up, but her limbs would not obey her commands.

The figure in the cloth robe gave no chance to catch his breath, manipulating the wind and wielding the long sword in his hand, directly drawing a cold, gleaming straight line towards Mingya's head.

But at this critical moment, a stream of azure water suddenly appeared in front of Mingya, swirling and coiling into a flowing water curtain that instantly blocked the incoming sword.

"Roar!!!"

A deep dragon roar reverberated through the hall. To the astonishment of the orcs and goblins, a lifelike water dragon opened its massive jaws and charged towards the figure in a robe on the corridor.

With a deafening roar, the dragon head's impact triggered a waterfall that submerged the suspended walkway and several rooms, not to mention the tiny figure who was completely swallowed up.

Mingya, still lying on the ground in a daze, hadn't even had time to react when a girl with waist-length black hair landed beside him, grabbed his arm, and dragged him to the side.

"Come on!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!! I can get up by myself!!..."

Mingya cried out and struggled with all her might to get up from the ground, following the girl's steps toward the wooden stairs leading downstairs.

Although most of the girl's pretty face was hidden by her hood, Mingya recognized her at a glance as the girl who had come to save him—Jinli, whom they had parted ways with earlier.

However, the situation was urgent, and despite having a bellyful of questions, Mingya could only keep them to himself; escaping was the priority.

They had barely reached the lobby entrance when a gust of wind suddenly arose behind them, and the submerged figure broke through the surrounding water curtain, emerging from the collapsed wooden ruins.

The other person looked somewhat disheveled. The water dragon that had carelessly bumped into them was obviously unexpected, and they were caught off guard. As a result, their robe and hood, which were meant to cover them, were torn apart, revealing their fair skin.

It turned out to be a short girl with jet-black hair like a koi fish, but she looked even younger. Her delicate face was expressionless, but the murderous aura rising in her eyes was quite dazzling.

"hiss……"

Mingya only needed to glance back to know that the guy was completely angry. Feeling the overwhelming killing intent, he felt a little scared for having dared to slash the other party twice.

Fortunately, they had already escaped the tavern. The crooked orc residential buildings along the crowded streets squeezed out of the winding, maze-like alleys. As long as they went into one of them, it would be difficult for the girl behind them to catch them, no matter how angry she was.

But Mingya had only run a few steps when he bumped into the back of the girl in front of him. His already injured body felt even worse after the collision, and he let out a wail.

"Oh dear... why are you not running again?"

He clutched his chest, looking at the girl who had suddenly stopped in front of him, feeling surprised. Out of the corner of his eye, he immediately caught sight of a burly man in a long robe and mandarin jacket across the street, his hands folded in front of him, staring at them with a solemn expression.

The muscles bulging on his thick arms were so solid they were almost blinding. Just by standing there, his overwhelming aura seemed to tangibly assault your senses.

There's another one?

Mingya looked bewildered. He thought he was lucky to have met a lucky charm who saved him, but he didn't expect that the other party had also ambushed them at the entrance of the tavern.

It's unbelievable! What did he do to deserve that the other side would send two assassins to surround and intercept him?

"Be careful to the left and right as well."

In her despair, Mingya heard a reminder from the koi fish, and was startled. She then turned her head to look at both sides.

But then, from the alleys on either side of the street, two figures dressed in cloth slowly emerged, one holding a long stick and the other with three thin, flat throwing knives between his fingers.

They're surrounded on all sides; they're not even giving us a way out.

"...This is a new account, don't mess with it."

Mingya felt like she was about to split open.

Chapter Eighty-Six: Battle

"Hey, I thought I was just doing some small chores for the prince, but I've caught a big fish."

A strange voice drifted over, but it was the figure holding the throwing knife who spoke with a grin.

"Alright, let's finish this troublesome business and go back as soon as possible. It's one thing for these barbarian beastmen in the West to be smelly, but even those noble humans have a strong body odor that they have to cover up with a lot of perfume. It's really unbearable."

This time it was the guy wielding the stick who sighed.

"Third and fourth brothers, don't mutter unnecessary words. It's impolite if the master hears you."

This time, it was the burly man in the very center, who carried no weapons but had only his fists, who spoke, uttering a deep and powerful voice.

"it is good."

"As ordered."

The other two immediately answered in unison.

As the four approached, Mingya, surrounded in the middle, swallowed hard. "No, killing someone in the street? Doesn't this orc city-state even have a single guard to maintain order?"

Yes, there are.

Koi gestured with its eyes, "Look over there, aren't the guards driving away the onlookers?"

"...So they were all in cahoots."

Mingya looked dejected. "So, the most painful week on the deserted island was my newbie protection period?"

Jinli didn't know what Mingya was talking about in the second half of his sentence, but she still reminded him, "When the fight starts, find a chance to escape, and I'll try my best to hold them off."

"No way, am I that kind of person?"

"I'm afraid you'll hold me back."

"Ok."

Mingya wore a bitter face; sometimes, the truth is the quickest way to cut through obstacles.

"Don't you all interfere, I'll handle these two."

Meanwhile, a ragged young woman emerged from the tavern, exuding a murderous aura.

After being fooled by Mingya's two swords, and then being hit by the water dragon summoned by the koi, she was completely disoriented.

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu, no one will take it from you."

The burly boxer, who seemed to be the leader of the group, stood with his hands in front of him and stopped moving forward. "But just in case, we'll cover you."

Each of the three guarded a direction. The goblins and orcs who had been curiously looking this way on the street were all driven away by the arriving wolf riders. Not far away, orcs carried wooden stakes over and erected a cordon, turning this place into a clear battlefield.

Seeing that the three people didn't move, Jinli's expression became even more serious, because it meant that she couldn't take advantage of the chaos to find a way to escape.

But in any case, a battle is inevitable.

She glanced at the girl at the tavern entrance and took out a flute from her bosom.

The flute appears to be made of jade, its entire body a pale white, its crystal-clear surface gleaming with a faint, cold light.

Upon seeing the flute, Xiao Wu, the girl standing at the tavern entrance, paused in her tracks, while the leader of the boxers on the other side of the street also warned, "Pay attention to the tune of that flute."

"I know, you don't need to tell me."

Xiao Wu raises his sword in a stance, the tip pointing forward, his murderous gaze meeting Jinli's across the distance.

The auras emanating from both sides collided imperceptibly, causing leaves to fall. After a standoff of about two or three seconds, Xiao Wu's figure suddenly flashed, and he launched the first attack.

A simple, unadorned thrust drew a sharp straight line, and at the same time, Koi placed the flute to his lips, pressed his slender fingers against the tone holes, and blew out a melodious tune.

The water vapor in the air seemed to be drawn by the invisible sound waves and quickly condensed, then instantly turned into countless sharp ice shards, sweeping towards Xiao Wu's figure in an overwhelming manner.

The latter's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately stopped in his tracks. With a flick of his sword, a whirlwind rose from the ground to block the small ice shards rushing towards him.

But as the koi fish's fingers danced between the holes of the jade flute, the melody shifted in pitch, and the scattered icicles seemed to come alive, swirling and adjusting their positions in the air, splitting into several strands before turning back to pierce through the air.

Like several long snakes slithering in mid-air, no matter how the gale disperses them, they always manage to skillfully bypass the shops or trucks on the street and accurately pounce on Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu let out a soft chuckle, his left hand forming a hand seal. The gust of wind generated beneath his feet transformed into white silk ribbons that wrapped around his body, allowing him to dodge several icicles that attacked from tricky angles.

"Hey, you can't kill anyone by just running."
