"Fuck, why are you still not moving? Are you going to let her insult your Boss?" The Bandit Boss cursed as he pulled out a giant, two-handed sword with three round holes in its blade.

No one said anything, nor did they move. They were still standing there in shock, with their minds ultimately confused.

"So you want us to fight a God Stage woman who challenges you to a fair fight? Aren’t you an Immortal Stage Cultivator, Boss? It should be an easy battle for you," Blake suddenly pointed out, siding with the girls. If they could kill him without even moving a finger, how powerful were they really?

Blake already uncovered his hood, his black locks falling gently on his sides. The smirk on his face pissed his Boss off even more.

"Blake, why would I fucking fight some weaklings and waste my Qi?! Did you bang your head against the wall this morning or what?!" The Boss shouted, threatening with his sword. It seemed really heavy but the Boss swung it around with just one of his hands, showing his superior arm strength.

"Don’t we all want a strong Boss that can fight anyone and stay victorious? Are you scared that you will lose to this Miss?" Blake questioned as he stepped back, hiding behind Wuying. Just because he sided with the girls, doesn’t mean he wanted to face his Boss’ anger.

"I’m not scared of anyone! I just can’t be bothered! What the fuck is wrong— " The Boss called out angrily only to be cut off by Maw.

"I agree with Blake," Maw said with knitted brows. "Boss, why are you bothered with the usage of your Qi? You don’t use it often anyway. To be our Boss, you need to lead us. I respect you for your strength but you have been lazying around while doing nothing this whole time. I take care of everything for you while you play around with your girls."

The Boss glared at Maw but he didn’t comment on that. Everyone knew Maw was right.

"Fine! Let’s fight then!" Boss said as his gaze fell on Wuying with his sword following as well. "You are a beauty so it’s a shame you will die today but it was your wish."

"Cut your bullshit and fight," Wuying silenced him, her daggers shining with red Qi.

"Give us space," she ordered without turning her gaze away and soon everyone walked away, giving the street for them to use as an arena.

The two stared at each other for a second before the blond thug moved, dashing forward like a hurricane. He was so swift the blade was by Wuying’s neck in a blink, slicing mercilessly through her neck. Her skin cut and the head flew up the sky, shocking everyone. Though, they immediately noticed something didn’t add up.

There was no blood.

Poof!

Wuying’s body suddenly exploded with crimson Qi, surrounding the blond thud with like a mist.

"You don’t even know my full strength yet you attack me so boldly. How can you lead people while being so irresponsible?" Wuying questioned as she reappeared behind him, all intact with her neck in the right place.

She slowly walked to the Boss with her Blood Daggers ready to slice his throat yet the Boss didn’t even move, shivering as if trying hard to resist. Blake also trembled when he saw it, recalling the previous encounter with Miss Wuying. He felt like his body was no longer under his control, as if every blood vessel and vain suddenly stiffened, freezing the blood inside. His heart tightened before his organs squeezed to the point they bleed out.

Cough!

The Boss coughed out blood, spilling it all over the street, yet he regained his movement, bursting out with Air Qi that pushed the Blood Mist away from him.

"Y-you bitch..." the Boss cursed as blood trailed down his lips, then onto his neck and naked chest. "You are dead!"

Despite yelling, he didn’t launch an immediate attack but instead jumped away while popping a few pills into his mouth, crunching and swallowing them whole.

It was obvious the Boss was planning to go all out.

"Berserk Pills!" Someone called out from the crowd but Wuying didn’t seem to care, slowly walking up to him.

"So the great Boss has to use supplements to fight a simple God Stage Cultivator? Such a nice example you show to your subordinates," Wuying commented, playing with her daggers skillfully, making them spin around her fingers as if she wasn’t even serious with him.

"Do you need help from pills to awaken your little friend as well? I guess I should ask your woman," Wuying added as she kept one of her swords and extended her arm to the side.

"Ahh!" the Boss’ woman cried out as her body raised from the ground, her whole body tightened.

"Does he use them, or not? Can you share?" Wuying questioned coldly, causing the woman to visually panic.

"He does! He does!" she exclaimed right away and her body regained function, falling down to the ground.

The Boss’ face turned red as a blood vessel popped on his forehead but he wasn’t provoked to attack just yet.

historical

"So I was right," Wuying announced, continuing to walk towards the boss. "Your little friend is so limp you can’t even satisfy a woman. What a shame."

"Shut up and fight me! If you are so strong then why don’t you—" the Boss shouted only to stop midway as Wuying’s body disappeared.

Swoosh!

The Boss tilted his head back right when a dagger appeared right next to his head and he slashed with his own sword.

Ding!

A loud metallic ping resounded in the air as two blades clashed together with sparks flying in front of Wuying’s face. Her arm didn’t even budge as she blocked the sword at an unbelievable angle.

The power of fighting with double daggers!

Though, even with double daggers, how strong she had to be to block such a powerful strike. Many wondered but the battle continued in swift fashion.

Wuying first strike missed but that was just the first attempt. Her arm quickly withdrew and stabbed once again.

Even though his head fled to the side, blood spilled from his neck, forcing him to duck back. The blade was inches away from his neck, then how did that hit him?!

Blake couldn’t even stop for a second to ponder what just happened as another wonder happened.

Wuying didn’t chase after the Boss but instead waited, forming thin lines of blood in the air, creating them directly from the Boss’ blood. They instantly danced around her as if alive and she dashed after the Boss who was attending to his wound a few meters away.

"Fuck off!" Boss cried out as his sword swing created a massive wind shockwave, blowing in Wuying’s direction but only her bloodlines were struck as she disappeared from her spot, reappearing behind him.

Aaaargh!!

Two Blood Daggers pierced into his back yet he turned around forcefully, cutting in her direction.

Too bad, she was nowhere in sight.

Wuying’s jumped using Boss’ shoulders as support, grabbed the handles of her daggers that stayed stuck in his back, and pulled them out without mercy while bouncing off his back with her legs.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

The Boss’ scream and the fragments of his flesh flying in the air made even Blake shudder.

Thud.

The Boss fell onto his knees while his back got coated with streams of blood. All drops didn’t fall to the ground but instead flew towards Wuying who gathered them around her right arm. It covered her forearm when the stream got suddenly cut and Boss’s wounds closed.

Boom!

The pressure coming from Boss exploded forth as he stood up abruptly, his muscles bulging and body growing taller. It didn’t look like a natural growth as his muscles deformed from normal appearance.

"YOU BITCH! GO DIE NOW!" Boss screamed, saliva spitting all over his mouth. The pills seemed to begin working as his power began to raise, his pressure multiplying with each second.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two Air Qi Swords appeared on his sides, aiming at Wuying as he glared at her with red eyes.

"Wuying, how about you end him already? I know you are having fun but we are waiting."

Just as the last clash was about to enroll, Xiao Wen called out to hurry the battle.

Wuying snickered and shrugged.

"Tsk, fine."

She kept her Blood Daggers and extended her arm.

Swoosh!

The blood on her arm transformed and a chain burst out from her palm with its tip sharp and steady.

Air Qi Swords burst into nothingness at the contact, unable to provide any defense to the Boss.

Splash!

The chain pierced straight through the Boss’s chest, poking his overblown muscles like a balloon.

"Ooof!" the bandits gasped, watching their Boss look down at the chain and suddenly fall to the ground.

Thud.

His body was like a bag of potatoes falling.

"Thank you, love~" Xiao Wen called out as the girls approached the body, only to see it dry up, its blood sucked by Wuying’s chain.

"Boss!" Blake came forward first, cupping his fists as he bowed to Wuying. "Please take good care of us!"

Others realized what just happened and quickly followed suit. Only Maw was hesitant but eventually, he gave in.

"Boss, if there is anything I can help you with, please, tell me."

"Actually, there is," Wuying nodded, gazing at Blake first. "You, gather every expert at the peak of God-Stage and above. I need to assess our forces."

Switching back to Maw, she called out a full list.

"I want a full list of citizens in this city, all the resources you have, including food and all treasures. I also want to know the list of your enemies, your connections, allies, and any trading routes you have. If you can do that, you can keep your role as the vice-leader."

"Of course, Boss."

"Good. I need it down by today. We have big plans for tomorrow."
