World-Termination-Armour was an extremely rare item on earth. Anyone who donned it would possess extraordinary powers and the wielders of such armor were known as terminators. A terminator was the main battling force of a kingdom and had a high social status. Just like the original owner of this body.
Even though she was only a 14-year-old child, she was directly assigned the role of a City Lord at such a young age after she had inherited her father's World-Termination-Armour, making her the envy of everyone around her.
Unfortunately, because her parents were not around to take care of her since a young age, she was the constant target of bullying from her siblings and cousins. Enduring such treatment for a long time, she naturally became very weak. Despite being known as a Miss, her life was worse than the servants in her family clan.
This time, after her father died on the battlefield and left the World-Termination-Armour to her, her uncles forced her to hand over the World-Termination-Armour. Being used to bullying and oppression, she did not have the courage to fight back at all, and agreed to handing over the World-Termination-Armour to her uncles after her succession ceremony is over.
However, someone must have been unable to wait!
The burly man looked at Ji Fengyan with reverence. While instructing those bodyguards who had less severe injuries to carry the ones who were badly injured, he hugged the sword that was used by Ji Fengyan. Then, when Ji Fengyan was not looking, he felt around the place where she originally collapsed, secretly picked up the cloth she used to clean her wounds and carefully hid it.
A bodyguard at the side was perplexed as he watched his chief pick up a piece of bloodstained cloth and hid it as if he found a treasure.
"Chief, why did you pick up this useless cloth?" asked the bodyguard.
The burly man froze, turned covertly and said softly, "What useless cloth! This is a treasured object because it is stained with Miss's blood!"
"…" The bodyguard was stunned. He thought, had his chief's brain been struck by lightning too?
The burly man saw that the bodyguard did not understand, so he decisively whispered to him and told him about Ji Fengyan being able to summon lightning by drawing symbols using her blood.
The bodyguard was instantly shocked and he no longer mocked at the burly man. Then, he kept the sword he was holding at the side of his waist and started to bend down and search among the crushed rocks too.
"Chief don't just think about yourself. Help me find one piece too!"
"As if! I only managed to find this piece after so long," the burly man muttered.
"Then share a bit with me!"
"Scram!"
…
Ji Fengyan did not notice what they were doing. Her mind was already preoccupied with figuring out ways to retry her immortal cultivation in this new world.
Even if she had a replacement of body, it did not diminish her determination for immortal ascension!
The bodyguards were all almost done packing up. Luckily, their horse carriage could still be used, although it was already badly damaged from the explosion. The burly man let Ji Fengyan get onto the carriage, while the others walked outside towards their destination.
After Ji Fengyan entered the carriage, the burly man could not help but sigh.
"If Master had known that Miss was bullied in the family during those days when he was away protecting the nation who knows how heartbroken he would be."
All these bodyguards had followed Ji Fengyan's father to the battlefield and fought alongside together. Only after her father died did they come looking for Ji Fengyan with the World-Termination-Armour according to the Emperor's decree.
They could not forget the first time when they saw Ji Fengyan, she was wearing clothes that had been washed colourless and was as skinny as a sheet of paper, which differed totally from the look they had expected of a Miss.
They also could not forget how her brothers had ordered her around and had such greedy looks after they had taken out the World-Termination-Armour.
"I think this incident is definitely related to Miss's uncles. Miss had already agreed to handing them the armour, yet they still did not spare her; they are just inhumane!" A bodyguard clenched his fist in a rage.
"In any case, we owe Master a favour those years, we definitely cannot stand and watch as Miss faces trouble. I believe that even if Miss had indeed handed the armour over, those people will still not let her continue living, so we must not let Miss return. Once we have reached the city and Miss has succeeded as City Lord, we must think of a way to make her stay and not be soft-hearted and return," the burly man said and frowned.
Despite being a 14-year-old, Ji Fengyan looked like only 11 or 12 years old. God knows how miserable her life was when she was living with her family clan.
"Chief, fret not! We only survived this time thanks to Miss, so our lives are also saved by her and we will definitely protect her!" the bodyguards each expressed their loyalty.
"Fine, just keep these words to yourselves, don't let Miss overhear them. Miss has always been kind; Even if her family had mistreated her, she was still soft-hearted. Knowing these will only hurt her," the burly man said.
"Yes!"
Suddenly, at a distance of less than 20 meters ahead of the horse carriage, a black figure rolled down from a hill at the side and landed in front of the horses. The startled group of bodyguards were immediately on their guards as they thought they were ambushed again. However, when they looked at the person, they were dumbstruck.
Ji Fengyan felt the horse carriage stopping and thought something had happened. She stuck her neck out to look.
Only a young child was seen on the ground in front of the horse carriage. The child's back was badly mutilated and his blood had stained the entire path that he had rolled down from.
"What is wrong with this child?" the burly man stepped forward to look. Ji Fengyan also came down from the horse carriage and moved towards the child.
That child seemed at most 13 or 14-year-old;He was facing the ground and his injuries were quite severe. After seeing the burnt wounds on his back, Ji Fengyan's face darkened.
No one understood the effects of Five-Blow-Thunderstruck more than Ji Fengyan and the injuries on the child's back clearly showed that he was hit by her Five-Blow-Thunderstruck. Moreover, from where he had rolled down from, it was within the range of her second wave of Five-Blow-Thunderstruck.
Ji Fengyan was lost for words.
Indeed, she had only wanted to strike those killers, but she never had the intention to harm the innocent!
Seeing the boy's torn skin and gaping flesh due to her Five-Blow-Thunderstruck, the guilt in Ji Fengyan's heart… it was a feeling that could not be easily described.
"Miss, this child's wounds…" the burly man broke the silence after being lost in thought and he looked at Ji Fengyan with an intriguing look.
Ji Fengyan felt ashamed, as an immortal cultivator, even though she could use violence, she had never harmed the innocent, otherwise she would be punished by the Heavenly Dao.
But how could she have known that this child was hiding in this remote hill?
