Swordholder

Chen Zhaoning suddenly felt that the way the other party shoved the knife at him was far too crude.

But this rudeness seemed to ignite the pent-up anger in her heart, making her instinctively nod emphatically!

The fear in her eyes instantly transformed into overwhelming murderous intent!

thump!

thump!

Chen Yuan's speed was extremely fast. He first killed the goatee-bearded man, then beheaded three government officials. Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

Only after he pulled Chen Zhaoning up did the corpses crash heavily to the ground.

The guards brought by the goatee had already turned away and did not see what had just happened.

At that moment, someone heard the noise and was still joking.

"Wow, that sounds like a lot of force being used to cut the flesh."

"Be careful, leave some soup for us, don't drink it all."

Many people chuckled, their faces full of lewdness.

Some people sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but turn around.

The next instant, their pupils contracted sharply, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Several officers collapsed in pools of blood.

At the same time, Chen Yuan wrapped his palm with a piece of cloth to prevent it from slipping.

He then forcefully pulled out the iron spikes and dashed out like an arrow!

Swish!

He suddenly leaped into the air, bent his knees, and slammed hard into the chest of a burly man who was turning around!

boom!

With a loud crash, he slammed the man to the ground and began frantically stabbing him in the chest with the iron spike in his hand!

One, two, three, four...

Puff puff puff!!

As blood spurted out, Chen Yuan pierced the big man's chest, turning it into a hornet's nest!

The burly man's eyes were bloodshot, and before he could even react, he died on the spot!

Chen Yuan, however, pounced on the others like a bloodthirsty tiger!

puff!

The iron spike pierced a man's waist and abdomen, and amidst the man's terrified gaze, he dodged away!

He had already leaped onto the shoulder of another charging man, his iron spikes aimed straight at the man's eyes!

puff!

The iron spike pierced through his eye and protruded from the back of his head!

"ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the scene!

The remaining people finally reacted, their faces filled with fear, yet they still drew their knives and charged at Chen Yuan!

"This is... the Dragon Binding and Slaughtering Technique???"

"Isn't that... the legendary swordsman's fighting technique?"

Chen Zhaoning snapped out of her shock and saw that Chen Yuan had already killed five or six people!

His fighting style was exactly the same as that of a swordsman she had once seen!

"Yes, kill them!"

Chen Zhaoning finally realized what was happening and completely erupted!

The humiliation and anger from before burned in his eyes!

She swung her long sword and charged out!

Fueled by rage, her combat power surged.

The remaining men were terrified by Chen Yuan and were powerless to resist. They were killed one by one by her.

thump!

thump!

Corpses fell one by one, blood splattering everywhere!

"Ahhhhh!"

Chen Zhaoning chopped up heads like a madwoman, blood and brain matter splattering all over her, the mixture of brain matter and blood, red and white, a horrifying sight.

The last person was chopped into mincemeat by Chen Zhaoning before he could barely suppress the overwhelming hatred in his heart.

"Alright..."

After glancing around and seeing that all the enemies were dead, Chen Yuan looked at Chen Zhaoning and hesitated before speaking.

He dared not approach her, fearing that she might lose control of her emotions and even harm her own people.

He's not the kind of overly kind guy who'd kill me just because I'm a brother.

Chen Zhaoning suddenly looked at Chen Yuan, her eyes bloodshot and her face growing colder!

Chen Yuan's heart tightened slightly. He took a few steps back without making a sound, and the sharp point of the iron spike in his hand was slightly raised, gleaming with a chilling blood-red light in the dim sunlight.

If this girl goes crazy and attacks him, he won't show any mercy.

His gaze was already fixed on the other person's neck and heart.

He was confident that he could kill Chen Zhaoning in just two strikes.

The two stared at each other, surrounded by mangled corpses lying haphazardly.

The two men were covered in blood, looking like two blood-soaked figures.

Li Wei squatted to the side, staring blankly at the severed limbs scattered on the ground, completely dumbfounded.

Li Wei simply couldn't reconcile the ruthless young man before him with the smiling, sunny childhood friend from his past life.

"No, I also need to adapt to this world quickly..."

Li Wei took a deep breath, his gaze hardening.

Within his sleeve, the five fingers of his right hand had quietly turned golden... Despite his trembling body, his gaze had become much calmer.

"Oh, what happened?"

Just then, Nuomi, with her messy hair as if she had been woken up, walked over.

She glanced at the corpses around her, then at Chen Yuan and Chen Zhaoning, who exuded a murderous aura. She blinked her big eyes, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Aren't you...aren't you afraid?"

Li Wei noticed the unusual thing about Nuomi and asked curiously.

"Why be afraid?"

Nuomi tilted her head and said in a clear voice, "I've seen too many dead people since I was a child. The village chief killed people, the slave camp owner killed people, the yamen runners, the officials, the nobles killed people. You can see killing everywhere... It's all commonplace. After seeing so many, it doesn't seem strange anymore."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's expression froze, and he stood up woodenly.

He then gently patted Nuomi's head, sighing inwardly.

In this world, even children are used to life and death, so what is there to be afraid of?

Not far away, Chen Yuan's expression remained cold and wary.

He deliberately crept closer just now in order to kill the leaders first.

With the leader dead, the rest is a disorganized mess, which is easy to manage.

He took a deep breath, looked at Chen Zhaoning, who was also panting heavily and had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, about two or three meters away, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively approached.

"Are you...are you alright?"

Seeing that she showed no murderous intent when she looked at him, Chen Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then put away the iron spikes, reversed his grip on them, and pointed the sharp spikes behind him.

Clang!

Chen Zhaoning's strength suddenly gave way, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

She stared blankly at Chen Yuan, and the thought of the boy's gaze earlier, looking at her neck and even her heart, sent chills down her spine.

She knew very well that when that gaze fell on her heart, it wasn't a romantic gaze, but rather a weighing of whether it could pierce through her chest in one go!

"you······"

Chen Zhaoning staggered and involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Don't worry, everything's alright now."

Chen Yuan took two steps forward, grinned, and the lingering childishness on his face made Chen Zhaoning breathe a sigh of relief.

The initial feeling of unease had completely vanished, and the thought of how the other person had saved her filled her with gratitude.

"I...I just now..."

Chen Zhaoning wanted to say that she was fine, but the strength she had been maintaining suddenly crumbled like a burst dam, and the grievances she could no longer control welled up in her heart, making her nose sting and her throat feel congested.

Especially when she thought about the humiliation she had almost suffered just now, she could no longer suppress her emotions and suddenly threw herself into Chen Yuan's arms, bursting into tears.

"Well……"

Chen Yuan froze, then had no choice but to throw away the iron spikes, gently pat her back, and say softly, "It's alright, it's all alright. We've killed all those beasts."

But his words of comfort only made her cry even harder.

Chen Yuan looked at Li Wei and Nuomi in the distance, gesturing for them to come over and help comfort them.

Li Wei chuckled, clearly indicating that he wanted Nuomi to handle it herself. He pulled Nuomi along and began searching the corpse for valuables.

Soon, Nuomi saw pieces of star copper and moon silver, and her little face was full of surprise.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan could only smile at the girl in his arms and say, "Since you're so moved, why don't you repay me with your body?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaoning's crying stopped abruptly.

She quickly pushed Chen Yuan away, wiped away her tears and snot, and stared intently at him with her bloodshot eyes.

"Well……"

Chen Yuan quickly waved his hand, "I was just joking."

"Waaaaahh ...

"Ouch!"

Chen Yuan, wincing in pain, squatted down, feigning agony, and pointed at her angrily, saying:

"You woman, just because you're pretty doesn't mean you're all that! I saved your life, and you still attack me?!"

Chen Zhaoning: "..."

She was startled by Chen Yuan's exaggerated expression and hesitated, "Ah, I'm sorry, are you...are you alright? I didn't mean to, I..."

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Chen Yuan's slightly upturned lips and threw another punch at him.

"Hey, that's settled, we're even!"

Chen Yuan hurriedly begged for mercy, then caught sight of Li Wei looting the corpse in the distance, and let out a howl:

"Damn it, Ah Wei's about to loot all the loot! I have to go loot his bag!"

After saying that, he immediately ran over.

Watching the figure disappear like the wind, Chen Zhaoning chuckled, the gloom in her heart vanishing.

After the three of them had looted all the valuables from the corpse, they called Chen Zhaoning and returned to Nuomi's house together.

···············

In the very center of the hall, Lu Chengfeng sat with an air of nonchalance.

Seeing the group return, he sighed softly, "We should leave; we can't stay here any longer."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

He killed the officials; everyone in the village saw it, and it couldn't be kept secret.

The group quickly washed off the blood, packed their belongings, and left in a hurry.

Standing outside the door, Nuomi looked at the little house with some reluctance.

"Come on, little Nuomi, I'll buy you a bigger and more beautiful house in the future."

Chen Yuan pulled her along, smiling as he made his promise.

"Brother Yuan, where...are we going?"

Nuomi tilted her head back and asked in confusion.

Chen Yuan sighed.

The world is vast, and he has no idea where to go, so he can only look at Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng, however, looked dazed, as if he had crashed again, losing all reason and seemingly only knowing how to follow him and Nuomi.

"How about you send me back to Tianqing County, to my Chen family?"

Chen Zhaoning looked at Chen Yuan and hesitated before speaking.

Is your house big?

Nuomi's eyes lit up, sparkling with curiosity.

"It's huge, very huge, I guarantee you'll love it."

Chen Zhaoning patted Nuomi's head, and said with a wry smile.

"That's the only way."

Chen Yuan nodded helplessly, understanding in his heart that seeking refuge with a thousand-year-old human family was perhaps the best way to survive at present.

"You can't leave!"

Just then, a timid yet unusually firm voice suddenly rang out.
