Chapter 77 The Battle Ends in One Second
Master Ding wanted to see what the female bodyguard his father hired for his sister looked like. After lunch, he did not go back to the study to review his lessons. Instead, he sat in the flower hall with his sister Ding Xiang, waiting for the housekeeper to bring her over.
Miss Ding is twelve years old this year. She has grown into a very good-looking girl. She wears a light pink satin skirt with narrow sleeves. Her hair is combed into two buns on both sides, adorned with a pair of pearl hairpins. Her earlobes are pierced and she wears a pair of silver earrings.
This outfit makes her look pure and playful, with a pair of bright and lively almond-shaped eyes. She looks like a simple little girl who is loved by her father and brother and is ignorant of the world.
When they met for the first time, Qin Yao felt that Mr. Ding was too generous to leave such a little girl alone at home.
"Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding, Miss Ding." Qin Yao walked into the flower hall, stood in front of the father and his two sons, and bowed slightly.
Master Ding raised his hand to signal her not to be polite, and said with a smile, "Madam Qin, you are finally here."
Then he looked at his daughter Ding Xiang and said, "This is Madam Qin. Daddy told you before that Daddy and brother will go to the capital city in two days. You will stay at home alone. With Madam Qin guarding you, we will be relieved."
Ding Xiang looked at Qin Yao curiously. Qin Yao raised her head and lowered her eyes slightly to look at her. This sudden eye contact made her feel novel.
He took two steps forward and came to Qin Yao, and asked her in surprise: "Are you the Qin lady who cut down 16 logs a day? How do you have such great strength?"
Qin Yao replied politely with a smile, "I was born strong."
"Oh~" the girl nodded, and saw her knife and bow and arrow again, "You can also use the knife and shoot arrows?"
Qin Yao shook her head and corrected herself: "It's not a joke, it's a weapon for self-defense."
"You mean you use this for self-defense?" Ding Xiang turned behind her in disbelief, looked at her weapon carefully, and wanted to reach out and touch it.
Qin Yao dodged to the side and avoided the curious hand.
"Ah Xiang!"
Mr. Ding shouted, signaling her to come back quickly and not lose her composure.
Ding Xiang did not go back immediately, but asked Qin Yao again: "Madam Qin, have you ever killed a thief?"
Qin Yao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, glanced at Master Ding, but did not answer.
Ding Xiang didn't get an answer, so she assumed that she had never killed the thief, pouted her lips, and then returned to her father and brother.
Master Ding raised his chin and asked Qin Yao arrogantly: "What skills do you have? Can you practice them for me to see?"
This person should stay with my sister to protect her. If he doesn't have the ability, it's better to replace him early.
He cut down sixteen logs a day. Since he had never experienced the hardship of felling trees, in the eyes of the boy, this was nothing impressive.
Qin Yao looked at Master Ding, "Young Master, do you want to test my skills?"
Ding Shi did not try to hide it and directly said that he doubted that she knew no martial arts.
Although Mr. Ding criticized him, "Stop talking nonsense."
But he also agreed to his son's request because he also wanted to see what other surprises Qin Yao had that he didn't know about.
Qin Yao thought that when applying for a bodyguard position, it was normal to take a look at the applicant's kung fu skills.
He said to the housekeeper, "Call out all the guards in the mansion to compete with me."
Hearing this, the Ding family brothers and sisters showed surprised expressions. Do you have to be so arrogant?
The housekeeper's heart also skipped a beat. It's okay to call people over, but it would be embarrassing if you can't beat them.
His eyes reminded Qin Yao that it was not too late to change her words, but Qin Yao pretended not to see it. She had already stood in the yard outside the flower hall, took off her bow and arrows and knife, and temporarily placed them under the corridor.
"With bare hands?" Ding Xiang asked excitedly.
Qin Yao smiled at her faintly, "To avoid accidental injury."
Having been in the apocalypse for too long, she has developed the habit of using a killing move every time she attacks, and she is really afraid of hurting others by mistake.
Okay, the butler said nothing more and went to bring all the guards in the mansion over.
There were eight people in total, all of them were tall and strong, and looked very intimidating at first glance.
These days, personal safety is not guaranteed when you go out, so Mr. Ding specially recruited them to protect himself and his son when traveling.
The world was in turmoil in the past few years. The eight guards survived the turbulent times and have rich practical experience.
The guards kept by the rich are well-fed and equipped with weapons and protective gear. Most thieves would avoid them when they see them.
However, Qin Yao did not use any weapons, so naturally they had to take off their protective gear and weapons to be fair.
Warriors are sensitive to the aura around them. When they saw Qin Yao, the eight guards did not look down on her just because she was a woman.
On the contrary, the powerful sense of oppression coming from Qin Yao made them feel uneasy as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast.
There was a faint smile on her lips, and she looked gentle and calm.
This is a person who is very good at hiding and disguising.
The eight guards looked at each other and chose the strongest among them to challenge Qin Yao.
Mr. Ding and his family of three saw the guards' reactions and saw that they directly chose the most powerful person to fight Qin Yao. The father and his two sons could not help but look at each other in surprise.
The housekeeper shouted "start", and the father and his two sons immediately looked towards the yard.
The two men were seen standing in the yard, walking slowly in a circle facing each other, their eyes fixed on each other, guarding against the other's moves.
Qin Yao is an active offensive type, especially when she judges that the opponent is weaker than herself, she will suddenly launch a full-strength attack when the opponent is least expecting it, leaving the opponent no chance to counterattack.
The guard suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Just when he didn't know why he was so nervous, the woman in front of him suddenly rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed like a cheetah.
"Bang!" A dull sound of a fist hitting flesh passed through the yard, followed by a groan as two figures collided with each other and quickly fell to the ground.
The fight ended in a second and Qin Yao quickly stood up and stood aside.
The tall and strong guard was lying on the ground with his limbs spread out, in a coma.
At this moment, even if he was stabbed, he would be unconscious.
Because Qin Yao's first attack just hit the cervical vertebrae on the side of his neck.
This place was very fragile, and her strength was beyond that of an ordinary person. After she struck, she restrained her strength, which only caused the other party to faint briefly.
If it was a normal fight, the person would have been dead by now.
Killing a person with one punch is a very normal thing for Qin Yao.
Seeing that the guard didn't get up, the remaining seven people hurried forward to check. They shook their bodies and slapped him in the face, and pressed his philtrum. The man finally opened his eyes vaguely, and was groggy and didn't know what had happened. He just felt a lot of pain in his neck.
"Hiss!" He couldn't bear it anymore and curled up with his head covered. It took him a while to recover. He stood up and looked at Qin Yao in fear.
She is so fast!
Moreover, her strength was beyond that of an ordinary person. Even the eight of them put together were no match for her.
"Are you coming again?" Qin Yao asked them with a smile. Beneath her seemingly gentle expression, there was a raging fighting spirit.
One person wanted to try it, but was quickly pulled back by the guard who had just been knocked down by Qin Yao.
He clasped his fists towards Qin Yao and said, "Thank you for showing mercy, young lady. We are convinced. You are really amazing!"
The latter sentence was said to Mr. Ding and his two sons.
The father and his two sons were all a little confused. There was no move at all and they didn't even see it clearly. The battle ended abruptly.
How come the duel between masters is completely different from what I imagined?
However, Master Ding is very clear about the abilities of the guard leader. He is the most powerful among the eight guards in terms of martial arts. If such a person says that Qin Yao is powerful, then it must be true.
At least one thing is beyond doubt, he is really strong.
Qin Yao turned around and asked with a smile, "Master, are you satisfied?"
Ding Shi snorted, turned and left, reluctantly allowing her to be his sister's bodyguard.
