Chapter 10, Congratulations on Acquiring the Title of Headless Witch
Li Hanmo still needs to set up traps, so he can't act together with Zhong Bingxuan.
"Okay, I'll be careful. You should also stay hidden and not let other monsters find us."
Zhong Bingxuan bid farewell to Li Hanmo and headed towards the headquarters of the Faceless Mudman, a special ability she had discovered.
The soil along the way had turned black and charred, no longer clean as before, and smelled of decay.
The surroundings were quiet, deathly silent, until Zhong Bingxuan walked for a while and a charming voice came from ahead.
"Brother Tian, I'm so bored. This guy is so stubborn and has wasted so much of my time."
"Meimei, don't worry, it will be fine soon. Be patient and wait a while. Once your face is healed, I'll take you out to play."
Just by listening to her voice, you might think she's a stunningly beautiful woman, acting cute and affectionate with her boyfriend. But as soon as you look at her face, the hairs on your body will stand on end.
The spots on her face were mostly made of mud, lacking the skin tone that humans should have. The few spots with normal human skin tone did not give the woman any sense of normalcy; instead, they made her seem even more eerie, making people afraid to look directly at her.
Zhong Bingxuan knew that this was a faceless clay figure in the process of transformation, and that it was not strong in combat and easy to deal with.
If it weren't for the faceless clay figure named Brother Wang who had successfully transformed, she could have easily taken care of Mei Mei in less than a minute.
Unfortunately, with Brother Wang protecting her, it will be a bit more troublesome for Zhong Bingxuan to deal with the situation.
Of course, it was just a little troublesome. Zhong Bingxuan threw a dart at Mei Mei, and unsurprisingly, it missed again. The dart hit the bushes next to Mei Mei, but instead alerted Mei Mei and Brother Wang. Mei Mei let out a piercing scream.
"Ah, Brother Wang, save me! Someone is trying to kill me!"
"Meimei, don't be afraid. With Brother Wang here, no one can hurt you. Who's there? Come out here."
As soon as Brother Wang finished speaking, he was hit by another transparent dart thrown by Zhong Bingxuan, and his body flew backward and was pinned to the wall behind him.
Zhong Bingxuan's strength was as formidable as ever, never faltering once. It was even better than the top-tier weapons provided by the system, and it never needed to be airdropped, steadily striking the enemy.
"What kind of weird thing is this? If you're so capable, come out and fight me one-on-one. What kind of hero ambushes others by hiding in the shadows?"
Zhong Bingxuan's weapon is a transparent dart, which is invisible to ordinary people and monsters.
Wang Ge was sent flying far away by Zhong Bingxuan's transparent darts without noticing anything amiss. He assumed someone was using supernatural powers to do something sneaky and cursed angrily.
Seeing that her attempt to seduce a powerful man had backfired, Mei Mei secretly decided to run away.
Zhong Bingxuan would never let a tiger return to the mountain. Ignoring Brother Wang's curses, she flashed forward and twisted Mei Mei's head off. She then took out a mirror and finished off Mei Mei.
"It's the headless witch, haha, you have a way to heaven but you choose to barge into hell."
Zhong Bingxuan had already taken care of Wang Ge's girlfriend, but Wang Ge didn't show any sign of embarrassment; instead, he laughed wildly.
Something unusual must be amiss. Zhong Bingxuan cautiously looked around, then took out the mirror and Fu Yuchen's dagger, intending to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
"My king, come quickly! The witch has come to us willingly."
After hearing what Brother Wang said, Zhong Bingxuan realized that there was a trap here. Without bothering to deal with Brother Wang, she turned around and ran away.
"Witch, don't run! You killed my woman, and I'll make you pay with your blood!"
Brother Wang's loud voice summoned his three capable lieutenants, who then chased after Zhong Bingxuan.
Then Wang and the remaining capable henchman came out and asked what had just happened.
"It's because that arrogant and domineering headless witch recently appeared and killed my little Meimei. Your Majesty, you must avenge me and torture that headless witch to death."
"You're just a useless piece of trash. If you want a woman, just find another one."
Wang didn't take the matter to heart and dismissed it.
"But... that person also said that Your Majesty is a coward, always scheming behind people's backs, has no real skills, and is not worthy of Your Majesty's status and position."
After saying this, Brother Wang was kicked hard by his trusted confidant who stayed behind, causing him to vomit blood.
"Wang Tian, don't think that just because you're a distant relative of the king, you can be disrespectful to him. If it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless and showing no brotherly affection."
“But cousin, those are all things that woman said, they have nothing to do with me. I just wanted to stand up for you and confront her, but I was too weak and got shot into the wall by her hidden weapon, and I can’t move an inch. I’ve embarrassed you, cousin.”
"It's good to know you're a piece of trash."
"Hai, don't take offense at my words. Considering its pure and innocent heart towards me, put it down, have its wounds treated, and take it back to recuperate."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
...
Recently, in order to complete the monster-killing mission, Zhong Bingxuan has been doing whatever is convenient. Compared to other parts of her body, the powerful regenerative ability of the Faceless Mudman makes it very difficult to kill the monsters in the first place.
The best way to deal with monsters and bring them back to their original form is to break their necks. Last time, she accidentally investigated this special ability of the faceless mudman and was seen by them. As a result, the faceless mudman jokingly called her the "headless witch".
The name was too awful for Zhong Bingxuan to accept. Fortunately, apart from the unexpectedly unpleasant name, everything else was under her control. She wondered how that Brother Wang had managed to do it.
Surprisingly, the faceless mudman with the special ability to be afraid of death was allowed to follow behind the main force. Although it was some distance from the front line of the battle and there were many underlings blocking its way, at least its traces could be seen, and there was hope of wiping out this group of monsters.
To lure the monsters away, Zhong Bingxuan didn't deal with the three faceless mud figures behind her. She would occasionally show off her terrible dart-shooting skills, her eyes filled with mockery, as if silently saying, "A bunch of trash are not worthy of my seriousness. Let me have a good game with you."
The three people behind him were furious and chased after Zhong Bingxuan frantically. Apart from the leader, the faceless mudman, none of the other faceless mudmen noticed that something was wrong.
"Beast, butterfly, and insect, stop chasing. Something's wrong. Stay put and wait for my orders."
The dynasty issued orders to its trusted subordinates, for the infamous Headless Witch had killed many Faceless Mud People, including many powerful and high-ranking ones, so it was necessary to be on guard.
These three generals were all recruited by it with great effort. Although they were all in animal form, their combat power was ridiculously high. It was unwilling to lose three top combatants for the sake of a mere human.
The beasts, butterflies, and insects all heard the king's shout, and the three brothers reacted differently.
The beast was impulsive and couldn't suppress its anger at being toyed with by a mere human. Ignoring the king's orders, it continued to chase after Zhong Bingxuan.
As for the insect, it was rather lazy. If the king hadn't said to capture the woman in front of it, it wouldn't have bothered to move an inch. Now that the king had told it to stop, the insect naturally wasn't going to waste its energy killing a mere human. It stayed put and waited for the king's next command.
