Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 8: Bloodbath Against Villains, Killing the Leader
"Go open the door!"

Because it was right outside the door, the voice reached Chen Xiuyuan's ears. The dimly lit street was littered with corpses.

Chen Xiuyuan glanced at the doorway out of the corner of his eye and saw that a woman had opened it—a naked woman. His gaze flickered slightly, and then he sat down against the wall. The cloth strip on his right hand was already soaked with blood. He wiped it haphazardly at the corner of his mouth, then slowly closed his eyes, leaving only a slit.

"Crack!!"

A flash of lightning startled the woman, causing her to collapse to the ground. The man behind the door, seeing that no one was at the door, spat twice more.

"Get out of my way!"

Another sound came from beside him. Chen Xiuyuan glanced over and saw that the woman seemed to have been kicked again and fell to the ground. However, she dared not speak at this moment and could only sob softly.

Then Chen Xiuyuan saw a foot step out first, followed by the tip of a long knife, and then an arm.

Clearly, the leader was still on high alert and was moving very cautiously as he cautiously stepped out.

Chen Xiuyuan stood motionless to the side, his clothes stained red from the earlier fight, and the hole in the chest of his clothes made him look like a corpse.

The leader slowly walked out of the room, his gaze sweeping across the courtyard. Looking at the corpses outside, he didn't notice anything amiss.

After all, the whole village is exactly the same.

They left no one behind—the old, the young, and the women—so they didn't suspect Chen Xiuyuan, who was disguised as a corpse.

After leaving the house, the leader looked towards the room diagonally opposite and frowned when he saw that the door was still closed.

"Second brother, is everything alright on your end?"

After thinking for a moment, he raised his voice and shouted twice.

However, at this point, his questions were destined to go unanswered, because the man had already been killed by Chen Xiuyuan.

After waiting for a while, there was still no response from the other side. The leader began to panic and took two more steps toward the main street of the village.

The group of six went down the mountain, slaughtered three villages, and encountered heavy rain on their way back. They then turned back to Sanyang Village. In just half a day, how did everything change?

"Blind Man, Erhu."

Standing still, the man called out twice more, this time to someone else, but again, there was no response.

The streets were deserted, littered with corpses. Thunder rumbled incessantly in the sky, and the rain continued to fall heavily, quickly soaking the man's clothes.

His gaze involuntarily swept around. The houses across the street were quiet, but for some reason, a chill ran down his spine.

The dark clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed, and the light was dim. Apart from him standing on the street, there was no one else to be seen. The village was small, and you could see the end of it at a glance.

"Damn it, is this some kind of ghost?!"

The man reached up and wiped his face. The rain was so heavy that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. After confirming that there was no danger around, he stuck his long knife into the ground, put one hand in front of his forehead to shield himself from the rain, and wiped his face haphazardly with the other hand, seemingly trying to wipe the rain off.

Before anyone knew it, Chen Xiuyuan, who had been leaning against the wall, had stood up. His movements were incredibly nimble. Just as the man was plunging his knife into the ground and observing the house opposite, he made his move.

The short knife in his hand was thrust straight into the leader's lower back. The movement was fast and powerful, but the aim was perfect.

This leader was truly extraordinary. The moment the short knife was about to reach him, he seemed to sense something was wrong and his body instinctively tried to roll forward. In the blink of an eye, Chen Xiuyuan pushed off with his feet, increasing his speed by three points.

Furthermore, he wasn't aiming at the leader's body, but rather at a point twenty centimeters in front of him. The leader's attempt to escape forward had no effect. Instead, he was knocked off balance by Chen Xiuyuan's sudden slash. Chen Xiuyuan possessed immense strength, and this slash was delivered with full force; almost instantly, the short sword tore through his flesh.

"Ah~~~"

A piercing scream rang out, and the man was instantly severely injured.

In the instant the opponent staggered, Chen Xiuyuan grabbed the long knife from the ground and stabbed it fiercely behind the opponent.

The long sword slashed through the air, splashing up a spray of raindrops. Before he could recover, the man felt another sharp pain in his back. He stared in disbelief at the tip of the sword in his chest, his neck lolled to the side, and he fell silent.

After dealing with the last person, Chen Xiuyuan's anger dissipated instantly. He plopped down in front of the door, panting heavily, his heart pounding as if it were about to jump out of his throat.

This was the first time he had ever planned such an attack in his two lifetimes. If he hadn't been in a relatively good mental state, things would not have gone so smoothly today.

After a while, once his strength returned, he stood up, pulled out the short knife that was stuck in the leader's waist, and turned to walk into the house behind him.

At this moment, the woman who had opened the door earlier was huddled in a corner of the room, trembling even more as she watched Chen Xiuyuan enter.

Having witnessed the ferocity of the child before her, she dared not look at Chen Xiuyuan with the same eyes one would use to look at a child.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Chen Xiuyuan couldn't help but shake his head.

“I’m from Sanyang Village, and I killed them to avenge them.”

The childish voice and calm tone created a sense of disconnect, but upon hearing these words, the woman quieted down.

"Whose child are you? My aunt's family is also from Sanyang Village."

The voice was very soft, and the person sounded quite young.

The moment the other party spoke, some guesses flashed through Chen Xiuyuan's mind.

"The third house from the very back of the village. When I woke up, I was in a room where firewood was stored."

The woman responded softly to the answer.

"Oh~"

Turning his gaze away, Chen Xiuyuan looked around the room again. He had been to this room before; he had come here to look for something and had practically turned the room upside down. He remembered that there were two pieces of clothing in this room.

His clothes were soaked through and he needed to change quickly, otherwise he would easily catch a cold. So he walked to the west, rummaged through a box, pulled out a piece of clothing, and put it on deftly under the woman's suspicious gaze.

"May I have your name??"

As he put on his clothes, Chen Xiuyuan asked.

The girl huddled to the side seemed a little uneasy, constantly observing Chen Xiuyuan. After he asked her a question, she hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Yao Yi."

"The person in the other room is also from our village, her name is Xiaolin."

"Young benefactor, may I ask your esteemed name?"
