The burly man initially didn't believe it, but since there was indeed no sound inside, he let go of Du Cheng'er and handed her to another subordinate. He then dragged the scholar inside, threatening the scholar with his eyes to go first!
The scholar was terrified, but even more so by the burly man's brutality, so he could only cautiously walk inside, his face pale...
Du Cheng'er stared at his back, increasingly shocked. Was this cowardly, panicked, bullying man really the strong, unyielding, and impoverished scholar she knew?
The scholar looked around nervously, fearing that Qin Qing would suddenly appear and kill him with a stick. The burly leader behind him also became cautious. When he saw that there was no one on the ground, he finally realized that something was wrong!
The next second! A sharp, cold light flashed past his face, and a murderous intent surged forth. The burly man seemed to sense it and quickly stepped back, slightly turning his body to the side. He felt a silver light flash across his face, and a figure suddenly appeared beside him!
He steadied himself in a panic, utterly astonished! He opened his mouth to say something, but then felt a sharp pain on his face. He reached up, suppressing his shock, and touched a wet liquid.
Now he had to admit that the woman in front of him was no ordinary person. What kind of hidden weapon was that silver light? How could it be so sharp? Judging from its position, it was aimed at his neck. If he hadn't sensed the killing intent and retreated quickly, he would probably be meeting the King of Hell by now!
"thump!"
"Wait! Madam, we were blind and didn't recognize your greatness. We have offended you. Please be magnanimous and let us go!"
The burly leader immediately knelt on the ground, his face filled with tension and regret, his words practically begging for mercy!
The sudden turn of events startled Qin Qing. She remained motionless in the darkness, and then, thinking of the children hiding nearby watching everything, she hesitated slightly.
At this moment, the burly man on the ground suddenly sprang up, revealing his ferocious nature. He reached out and pulled out the axe from his waist and slashed. Despite his large size, he was incredibly fast. Perhaps because of the close distance, his weight, strength, and momentum allowed him to accelerate to his maximum speed in an instant!
In an instant! Qin Qing felt that intense killing intent for the first time. Seeing the axe aimed directly at her head, her heart tightened, and she instinctively took a few steps back…
The axe sliced directly across her collar, instantly tearing two gashes.
Seeing that his first strike had missed, the burly man panicked slightly. He quickly took two steps forward and raised his arm to strike a second time, but Qin Qing had already reacted and still wouldn't give him that chance. Moreover, the second strike lacked the momentum of the first one and was much slower.
Her eyes turned cold, a faint blue light flashed, and with a powerful leap, she rushed towards the burly man, slashing forward with the blade in her hand…
Within two breaths, the burly man suddenly froze, and the axe in his hand fell swiftly to the ground with a dull thud!
"Pfft!"
With his major artery severed, Qin Qing quickly retreated, the blue light in his eyes fading instantly, followed by a spray of blood that splattered all over the ground!
The scene was extremely gruesome and bloody. Qin Qing's hand holding the blade trembled uncontrollably. After the burly man's body fell completely, the scholar came to his senses and screamed. He looked at Qin Qing in terror and frantically scrambled into the corner, his legs as weak as noodles!
The stench of blood was extremely foul and quickly filled the entire dilapidated temple. Fortunately, the fire had already gone out, so it was not very clear.
Hearing the noise, the man outside dragged Du Cheng'er inside, calling out in confusion.
"Big brother? What happened?"
As soon as he stepped into the dilapidated temple, a strong, unpleasant smell of rust filled his nostrils, and his feet quickly became sticky. Thinking it was someone else's blood, he was about to walk further in when Qin Qing knocked him unconscious with a stick, causing him to fall directly into a pool of blood…
Du Cheng'er was left at the door, her face ashen. She couldn't believe that a woman and a few children could kill those strong men! Her heart was filled with regret and despair…
Just then, Qin Qing came out. Du Cheng'er's heart tightened when she saw the newcomer, but she felt inexplicably relieved when she saw Qin Qing's face in the dim moonlight, even though she didn't recognize the woman in front of her.
A moment later, Qin Qing untied Du Cheng'er's ropes and then dragged out a terrified man and threw him directly in front of her!
"I don't care what happened between you, but those people have a grudge against me. This scholar is yours!"
After saying that, Qin Qing handed the dagger that the scholar had dropped to the ground to Du Cheng'er, the meaning of which was self-evident!
Seeing Qin Qing leave, the scholar instantly understood her meaning. He immediately knelt before Du Cheng'er, his face covered in tears and snot, and frantically grabbed Du Cheng'er's skirt.
"Cheng'er, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Let's go back, let's go back and beg your father for forgiveness, okay? I don't want to die, Cheng'er, please! I really love you, and you love me too, right?"
Du Cheng'er looked at him, her face full of anger and sorrow, her hands gripping the dagger, her whole body trembling, her eyes filled with turmoil and fear.
"How can you expect me to forgive you? I gave up my loving father, my life of wealth and luxury, and my dignity as a daughter for you, and yet you treat me so cruelly and even want to kill my father and me! Xu Yi! Do you have any conscience at all?!"
As she spoke, Du Cheng'er burst into tears, heartbroken for her own foolishness and her lack of filial piety!
Just then, the scholar on the ground glanced at Qin Qing, who was speaking to the children on the other side in the distance, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Finally, he focused his gaze on the dagger in Du Cheng'er's hand!
Suddenly, the scholar stood up and reached out to snatch Du Cheng'er's dagger. Startled, Du Cheng'er panicked and almost injured herself in the process, but she still held onto the dagger tightly.
I couldn't help but hate myself for my cowardice just now!
"bump!"
A wooden stick flew from a distance and struck the scholar's legs directly. He howled in pain, and the feeling of weightlessness in his legs caused his whole body to tilt forward. Du Cheng'er was still holding the dagger tightly, and just watched helplessly as the scholar fell on her and his body was directly stabbed into the dagger!
Du Cheng'er was stunned...
The dying scholar was also stunned, looking at Du Cheng'er in disbelief. Before dying, he actually said something!
"You...poisonous woman!"
Startled, Du Cheng'er quickly let go and retreated, causing the dagger to pierce the scholar's body, killing him instantly!
Qin Qing stood at a distance, watching the girl under the moonlight with a look of horror and fear on her face, unsure whether she was regretting it or being afraid.
"He brought this on himself; it has nothing to do with you!"
