"Ssss...that's spirit weapon!..."
"This aura..tsk, tsk."
"Aah....it's a Grade-2 spirit weapon! My God! This little boy was sure to lose his life here!"
"Yeah...that's no doubt. He should have kept himself not poking his nose into other's business."
"....."
People were whispering among themselves, some looking solemn and some interested. But they all sighed in awe at the terrifying aura displayed in the weapon.
The blade of the sword gave a chilling glint sending a shiver into Jiang Ying Yue's heart.
She gulped inwardly and for the umpteenth time started her ranting again, " I want to go back! These people are so violent here!... Baby Dumpling can't you send me back? This is not a place suited for me to live..."
Abhram rolled his eyes and responded in an adult-like manner, " Master, you want to go back...but I have never really seen you working hard on your cultivation. Look,! Now you are suffering for being a lazy bum. Hmph!!"
Jiang Ying Yue couldn't get any comfort from the boy in the end and could only embrace her fate of fighting this maniac to death while secretly scolding these people for being such a nuisance.
These people only had an eye for this crappy Spirit Weapon. Couldn't they see his crazy look?!
This man was a psychopath for goodness sake! Shouldn't they catch him and put him in asylum or something?!
.....Then again, did they even have such a thing here? If there were, Jiang Ying Yue reckoned that most of the population of this continent would have ended up in that place.
So many bizarre thoughts were crossing her mind but the expression on her face never changed.
She didn't flinch nor did she back down. The only change that appeared was in her gaze: It was turning more chilling even more chilling than that of the glint of the opponent's sword. It was as if frost was gathering at the depth of her eyes making her ever-lively eyes still, like the frozen surface of a deep lake.
It wasn't that she was scared. It wouldn't be truthful if she said she wasn't scared at all.
She was scared. She was in a strange land, coming in contact with these strange things. However, she wasn't going to show that on her face...not now.
The man before her was a psychopath. This kind of people enjoyed when their victims showed fear and begged them for their mercy. It made them gain a sense of accomplishment.
So, there was no way she was go going to do it. Besides, she had her Wei, that mysteriously strong guy. Even if she ended up losing the one who would be turning into a meat patty would be this mean, ugly guy. Hmph!
Jiang Ying Yue was never one to play by the rule. She was a master when it came to cheating and manipulating...And she was proud of it.
Man...she needed something to stay alive in this treacherous land. So, according to her, she wasn't cheating. She was just using the resources provided to her more cleverly and practically.
She wasn't cheating at all!...
Jiang Ying Yue also took out her dagger seeing that the man was done showing off his.." Grade-2 SPIRIT WEAPON".
"Alright...let's start. Be done with your showing off!" Jiang Ying Yue waved her dagger at the man.
The man flushed red at this.
" You brat! Let me show you what is called!.." He thrust his sword toward Jiang Ying Yue's shoulder with all his might. His intent was clear. He wasn't aiming for her vital points instead he wanted to torture her slowly, cutting her body piece by piece.
He was a vicious person indeed!
He wanted to see fear in the boy's eyes, he wanted to hear his painful screams, he wanted to torture him slowly until he begged for his mercy.
....And he of course won't grant that. He would let him die a slow and terrible death.
He couldn't be blamed. Who asked that bastard to reveal his scars, his darkest and humiliating secrets?
He deserved it! Every bit of it he deserved it!
The man was already imagining the scene of the boy begging him for mercy, his blood was pumping hard in exhilaration.
He was dreaming this, he was dreaming that.
However.....
Ding!!
A dagger came in the way of the sword and collided with it with all its might forcing it away.
Jiang Ying Yue's fair thin wrist was exposed as she held the dagger against that menacing sword. Her wrist looked thin and weak, and her dagger couldn't be more ordinary yet at that moment it looked like they both held great strength within them.
The ugly man's eyes flickered he lifted his sword high and went on her again.
Ding!
Ding!
The man wasn't the one to be merciful, especially when he was so enraged. His attacks were incessant and all lethal. After repeated failures to strike her he wasn't looking for fun by torturing her anymore. He somehow seemed to realize it was best to kill the boy swiftly.
His strikes were now all aiming either for her head or heart or her stomach. And it was like the ceaseless pouring of rain- endless.
Sharp edges of sword and dagger were hissing in the air as the crowd stared at the duel almost breathless.
Jiang Ying Yue realized this man was trying to wear her off. Her cultivation was already lower than him and with the addition of his Spirit weapon it was getting very difficult to keep up with his incessant attacks. Many times she escaped many close shaves as hair's breadth. Her arms were starting to turn numb.
Seeing that his tactic seemed to be working he kept going at it.
And he finally seemed to have succeeded.
Puchi!
" Xiao You!!.." Tian Shan and others gave an alarming cry. And Wei was like a wind, in a blink of an eye, he rushed over.
His aura turned murderous. A suffocating pressure enveloped the man who was about to deal her final blow and froze where he stood.
" I am fine..." Jiang Ying Yue pressed her right shoulder which was bleeding heavily and shook her head, " Let me finish this. Since I started this let me finish it..."
Then she looked deeply into Wei's cold and emotionless which somehow seemed to show some worry and said softly, " Please..."
Looking at the determination in her eyes Wei could only step behind but he didn't stand far. He stood behind her as close as he could.
" Hey, ugly man! come back from dreamland." Even at this moment, Jiang Ying Yue didn't forget to taunt him. That was how she was when she was lazy she would be running far away from troubles and when she was up for causing trouble she would be wild and unrestrained without limit.
The frozen man who was woken up from his dream was enraged beyond any limit. Steams seemed coming to be coming out of his nostrils as he charged at Jiang Ying Yue like a raging bull.
Jiang Ying Yue gave an enchanting smile suggesting she was up to no good.
....And this happened.
She was done playing and her foundation was stabilized. Now it was time to end the game and kill this psychopath monster.
Her heart was quivering at the thought of this. A thin veil of mist seemed to appear before her eyes and she had the illusion that she could see a few moving figures in it. It was just like a projection screen.
When she blinked her eyes, they disappeared into nothingness.
Not thinking about it anymore, she started the finale of her game. A game that she played with her own rules.
Swish....
Ding!
Blades collided again and both sides didn't seem to be backing off.
However, unknown to all..... result was already decided.
Thump!
A body fell on the ground soon after, convulsing heavily.
" My game, my rules!.." Jiang Ying Yue smiled at the man who had disbelief written all over his face.
