Evil of all ages

Chapter 113 White-haired Witch
Huang Yunyou's expression was unusually grave. Just now, the aura emanating from the leader of the three bandits had been leaked.

He wasn't a first-rate martial artist as Chen Xiaohei claimed, but rather a third-rate one.

The other two bandits were not entirely ordinary people either; one of them was a skilled martial artist.

Lin Zhan and his group of four, including the one called Da Jiao, were all mid-level martial artists.

There were seven people present: two third-rate martial artists and three first-rate martial artists.

This made Huang Yunyou break out in a cold sweat. Is this what the martial arts world is like?

Are they all so good at hiding their true abilities and so adept at scheming?

Seeing the situation on the scene, Huang Yunyou felt that he was doomed today.

He was just a newcomer to the martial arts world, with no combat experience and had never even killed anyone.

Even if he were to fight seven opponents, he would most likely lose even against one of the third-rate martial artists, let alone two third-rate and three mid-rate martial artists.

"Is this my destined tribulation?"

Recalling what his sister had told him, Huang Yunyou suspected that what his sister meant by his death was that he would die right here.

Even ants try to survive, so Huang Yunyou naturally refused to accept his fate. He shook off his distracting thoughts and stared intently at Lin Zhan and the others.

"Aren't you afraid of being removed from the list and hunted down by the other ghostwriters?"

Ghostwriters are not allowed to do evil. Once discovered, they will be removed from the Zhenwu Division and become wanted criminals, hunted down by other ghostwriters.

Because those who act as ghostwriters are breaking the law knowingly, and the consequences are significant, those who dare to commit such crimes will be subject to the most severe punishment.

Often, those who act as ghostwriters become wanted criminals, with bounties and points significantly higher than those for other wanted criminals of the same rank.

"Hahaha... Why are you so naive? In this godforsaken place, who knows if we killed you or if the robbers did?"

Chen Xiaohei couldn't help but burst into laughter, thinking that Huang Yunyou was truly adorably naive.

"You clearly have the ability, why don't you do something else instead of doing this kind of thing?"

Huang Yunyou knew that his question was unnecessary, but he needed some time to observe the seven people and the surrounding situation.

See which area is the weakest and easiest to break through.

"Of course it's for the money!"

"Although we ghostwriters are people who lick blood off the edge of a knife, we only have one life, and who doesn't cherish their life?"

"When it comes to hunting down wanted criminals, don't you even look at those who become wanted criminals? Aren't they all vicious and ruthless? Do you think they'd be stupid enough to let you cut off their heads?"

"Fighting with them is risky; you're likely to get injured, and there's a possibility of being killed in return."

"If we don't pursue wanted criminals, taking on other missions takes a long time and the money comes in slowly. Who can stand that?"

"You're not as easy to slaughter as fat sheep like you. If you have something to blame, blame yourself for being too conspicuous."

"As a trainee ghostwriter, you can afford a horse. Aren't you just blatantly telling everyone that you're rich?"

Perhaps influenced by the "villain dies from talking too much" principle, Chen Xiaohei, seeing that Huang Yunyou was already fish on the chopping block, couldn't help but talk too much.

"Stop talking nonsense, kill him."

Lin Zhan didn't want to waste time on a dying man, but he also didn't want to lower himself to attack a mid-level martial artist, so he had three mid-level martial artists on the scene attack Huang Yunyou.

“Peng”

Seeing three mid-level martial artists swinging their swords at him, Huang Yunyou no longer concealed his abilities and unleashed the combat power of a third-rate martial artist.

Because he lacked combat experience, he missed the chance to kill one person in the instant of the attack. He only managed to knock down one of the three opponents, sending him flying back, and knock down two others, who then retreated.

"Third rate warrior"

Lin Zhan and the other six were quite surprised to see that Huang Yunyou was a third-rate martial artist, after all, Huang Yunyou was too young, he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

At such a young age, being a third-rate martial artist likely means one has a powerful background and status.

This made Lin Zhan and his group look slightly unpleasant, as they were most afraid of encountering people with powerful backgrounds.

This kind of person means trouble!

They assumed that in such a small place, the apprentice swordsmen on horseback were all wealthy young men who wanted to experience the world of martial arts.

Unexpectedly, a person who appeared to come from a powerful force or a martial arts family arrived.

"Let me go, and I swear I won't tell anyone about what happened here, or I'll take a few more people down with me when I die."

Huang Yunyou blamed himself for his lack of combat experience; he hadn't even managed to injure anyone, let alone kill anyone, resulting in a seven-on-one situation. Chen Xiaohei, seeing that Huang Yunyou was merely a third-rate martial artist, lost all his previous arrogance.

When he heard Huang Yunyou say that he would take as many people as possible down with him even if he died, he immediately shrank back.

Lin Zhan and another third-rate martial artist exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning, and drew their weapons, radiating killing intent.

They cannot let Huang Yunyou go.

If Huang Yunyou is allowed to leave, he will reveal what happened here, and they will be wanted by the Zhenwu Division and hunted down by countless sword-wielding men.

Furthermore, Huang Yunyou's identity is unknown. If he comes from a powerful family and wants to take revenge on them, they will live in a nightmare.

Therefore, Huang Yunyou must die, preferably without leaving any trace.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to let him go, Huang Yunyou also became ruthless. Even if he died here, he would take a few people with him, especially this Chen Xiaohei.

Chen Xiaohei felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Huang Yunyou staring at him.

He was just an ordinary person, and a third-rate martial artist insisted on dragging him down with him; he would have a hard time escaping.

Now he regrets it. How can he find Huang Yunyou when he's looking for a fat sheep?

Why did he still act so arrogantly in front of Huang Yunyou? Now look what's happened, he's being targeted.

Just as Lin Zhan and his men were about to make their move, a commotion was heard.

"drive"

"drive"

"..."

Someone rode up at full speed on horseback.

This made Lin Zhan and his companions frown. Why would someone come to a place like this?
Huang Yunyou was secretly delighted; someone was coming, and perhaps he could escape alive.

Hearing the frequent whipping of horses and the anxious, panicked hooves of the approaching riders, Lin Zhan and his six companions, along with Huang Yunyou, couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhan and the other six, along with Huang Yunyou, panicked.

The man on horseback looked like a martial arts master.

After seeing his badge, I confirmed that he was indeed a master.

Because that was a silver-plated swordsman's waist tag, meaning that this person was a martial artist who had acquired his skills later in life.

If it were just this, Huang Yunyou would naturally not panic along with Lin Zhan and the other seven.

Someone is hunting down this silver-ranked swordsman.

A woman with a full head of white hair was incredibly beautiful, like an ice queen, someone you could only admire from afar and never approach.

The woman is leaping up from the treetops to catch up.

The ability to move so gracefully and nimbly on the treetops suggests that the opponent is a master of innate strength.

She possesses the innate realm of immortality, a full head of white hair, and is still incredibly beautiful.

Her identity was revealed, and she was listed as the seventh most wanted person on Ghostwriter's wanted list: the White-Haired Witch.

Huang Yunyou was a little confused. This wasn't the beginner activity area for Ghostwriters, so how could a wanted criminal of this level appear here?

Seeing the silver-ranked swordsman fleeing in their direction, it was obvious that he had teamed up to cause trouble for the white-haired witch, which led to him being hunted down.

Given the White-Haired Witch's fearsome reputation, and considering that they were all hired guns, they would most likely be killed by her as well.

Especially since the silver-medal swordsman was fleeing in their direction, it was clear that he intended to use them as tools to hold off the white-haired witch.

"jump"

Lin Zhan and another third-rate martial artist turned and fled without hesitation, ignoring even Huang Yunyou.

Chen Xiaohei and the others realized what was happening and immediately fled in the direction of their eldest brother.

Huang Yunyou did not lag behind and also chased after Chen Xiaohei and the others.

Because he was a third-rate martial artist, he quickly surpassed Chen Xiaohei and the others. Only Lin Zhan and another third-rate martial artist were ahead of him.

Why not run to other places? Because their horses are in this direction, and he doesn't want Chen Xiaohei and his group to have an easy time.

If you outrun others, then those others will suffer.
