The leading man had a lewd expression on his face.
"Young lady, don't meddle in other people's business. Since you're here, don't leave. Staying and keeping us brothers company is the right thing to do."
"If you serve us brothers well, I might even take you back to the village. You could even be my concubine."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyan
"So, you're bandits? You've come here specifically to rob and commit evil?"
"Young lady, why are you saying such unpleasant things?"
We're called outlaws of the greenwood. It's just that today we've run into some ignorant fools who've offended me.
It wouldn't be unreasonable for me to wipe out his entire family. The fact that I didn't exterminate the whole village is already a great act of kindness.
The man in the lead quickly corrected Zhao Qingyan's statement.
Zhao Qingyan nodded, "I understand."
Immediately afterwards, he took out a handful of stones from his bag and threw them at the bandits.
This time, Zhao Qingyan held back, and the flying stones sank into the bandits' thighs, arms, and genitals.
Keeping him around is just a waste of his time; it's better to just make him a useless person.
Just to be on the safe side, Zhao Qingyan dismounted, grabbed her knife, and severed the tendons in the hands and feet of the bandits who had just been shouting.
If the fire isn't put out soon, the house will be completely burned down.
Zhao Qingyan alone could not save them.
After making a quick decision, Zhao Qingyan rushed to the nearest house.
As soon as I kicked open the door of this house, I smelled a strange odor.
I quickly held my breath and stepped back.
He took a piece of cotton cloth from his storage space, wet it, and used it to cover his mouth and nose. He went into the kitchen of the house, took a gourd ladle, filled it with cold water, and went back into the house.
Upon seeing the water splashed over someone's head, the person on the bed clearly regained consciousness, shouting, "Who splashed me with water?"
The person in bed was furious.
“If you’re awake, get up quickly and go put out the fire. Your whole village has been poisoned.”
Zhao Qingyan threw down a sentence and ran to the next store, repeating the same method.
Soon, more and more people woke up, going from initial confusion to fear and then panic.
While the villagers were putting out the fire, Zhao Qingyan searched the area again but found no other bandits.
He walked up to the bandit, squatted down, and tore the rag that had been ripped from the tattooed bandit's body out of his mouth.
"Come on, tell me, where is your mountain stronghold? How many people live on the mountain?"
Do you often commit such evil deeds? Besides today, how many lives have you taken on your hands?
The tattooed man trembled as he looked at the Rakshasa before him.
The demoness was incredibly skilled when she severed his tendons.
In order to save his life, he wanted to threaten Zhao Qingyan again.
"You'd be terrified if I told you, but our Black Wind Stronghold has over a hundred people. Our leader is a peerless martial artist."
I advise you to release me as soon as possible.
Otherwise, even if you go to the ends of the earth, our boss will still hunt you down. Hmph, scared now?
Zhao Qingyan suddenly had a bamboo paddle in her hand. She slapped the tattooed man across the face, causing half of his face to swell up.
"Where did all this nonsense come from? I asked you where your stronghold is, so answer me now. I don't have time to waste with you."
The tattooed man continued to argue, so Zhao Qingyan got up and kicked him several times.
The egg was already broken; a few more kicks and it was completely severed.
The tattooed man also completely lost consciousness.
Whether he will wake up again, no one knows.
The bandits nearby witnessed this scene clearly; this Rakshasa was truly ruthless.
A wise person knows when to yield, and soon someone offered the location of the house, along with the number of people in the village.
However, the man was cunning and did not reveal that there were traps everywhere in the mountain stronghold.
He refused to believe that this young woman could avoid the traps on the mountain.
"Hmph, you dare treat me like this? I'll make sure you're reduced to dust."
The man with the crooked mouth thought to himself.
Judging from his expression, Zhao Qingyan knew that the boy had a bad idea in mind, but she didn't care at all.
One slap with a bamboo stick not only swelled the man's face, but also knocked out several teeth.
She summoned the village chief, explained everything, and before the village chief and others could kneel and thank her, Zhao Qingyan had already mounted her horse and headed straight for the bandits' lair, Black Wind Village.
If things hadn't gone wrong just now, Zhao Qingyan would have almost burst out laughing when she heard the name. She just didn't know if there was a Black Bear Spirit in Black Wind Village.
Fortunately, Black Wind Stronghold was located on Zhao Qingyan's only route, and it wasn't too far from here.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, she stored the horse in her spatial storage. Zhao Qingyan then used her lightness skill to leap up to the treetops in a few bounds.
They traveled swiftly and soon found Black Wind Village.
Looking at the brightly lit Black Wind Stronghold, Zhao Qingyan smiled.
"This nightlife is quite vibrant." With a leap, he arrived at the Black Wind Stronghold's lookout tower.
He kicked the guard inside away. Then, with another leap, he landed inside Black Wind Stronghold.
He took out a gong, and it rang out several times.
All the bandits in Black Wind Stronghold came out.
Some weren't even wearing clothes, and some were even running forward while fastening their belts.
The bandits quickly surrounded Zhao Qingyan.
"Where did this stinking woman come from, daring to break into Black Wind Stronghold at night? Didn't you even know the reputation of Black Wind Stronghold?"
This man's attire was noticeably different from the other bandits; he was clearly someone who enjoyed dressing up. A grown man, yet he liked to wear a headband.
The gemstone in the center, the size of a pigeon's egg, gleamed brilliantly in the firelight.
Zhao Qingyan was delighted; her favorite things were all kinds of gemstones. Natural gold was also one of her favorites.
"I only came because I knew your reputation. I just passed through Fengping Village, and it was almost wiped out by your Black Wind Stronghold bastards."
So, I came up here to see what kind of wildcats and beasts in Black Wind Stronghold are behaving so inhumanly.
The leader was unhappy.
"How dare you insult our Black Wind Stronghold like this! You're asking for trouble! Brothers, charge!"
Grab this chick, she's yours tonight.
"I'd like to see if your words are tougher than the words of the brothers of Black Wind Stronghold."
The bandits of Black Wind Stronghold burst into laughter.
Zhao Qingyan, who came from the future, naturally realized that the leader was making a suggestive joke.
But does she care?
Suddenly, while the bandits were laughing uproariously, they had already kicked their leader so hard that he was embedded in the wall.
It's the kind of thing that you can't even button off.
The changes happened so fast that the bandits hadn't even had time to react before Zhao Qingyan had already taken down more than a dozen bandits in the same way.
Some of the bandits who reacted drew their knives to fight, but before they could even raise their knives high, they were struck in vital areas by stones. They rolled on the ground in pain.
I wonder if Zhao Qingyan worked in the palace's eunuch ward in her previous life, because her pebbles were specifically designed to attack the bandits' groin.
