"Ahhh...Ahh...Ah.. the boss is dead..."
After the silence, a trembling voice of terror sounded, breaking the silence.
They never expected that their boss would perish like this, in such a short time. In addition, two second-rank Soul Masters also died.
This situation completely exceeded their expectations.
"Run...run!"
Someone shouted in panic, and then others resonated with it, fleeing in all directions.
Continue fighting this monster? Seek revenge for the boss? Are you kidding? Their boss, a Soul Elder, was killed with a single sword strike. What can they, first-rank Soul Masters and second-rank Great Soul Masters, do? Go serve as cannon fodder? Besides, with their boss dead, they won't even get paid in the future. Why should they risk their lives for someone who's already dead? Should he still give them money? Ghost money?
Zeng Yi's silver eyes looked indifferently at the fleeing thieves. He was not surprised by this situation. These remnants would naturally crumble when their leader was gone.
However, he did not intend to let them go. From their disgusting aura, Zeng Yi knew that there were countless people who died by their hands, most of whom were ordinary people.
A while ago, Zeng Yi passed by a village where all the villagers had been brutally killed. Even the elderly, weak, women, and children were not spared. It was extremely cruel.
Whether these bandits were the same ones, Zeng Yi didn't know. But if he let them go, similar incidents would happen again.
Towards evildoers, Zeng Yi would not hesitate to draw his sword. He couldn't save the innocent who had already perished, nor could he make these villains change their ways. But he could avenge the innocent and send these evildoers to hell to be reborn.
Perhaps someone would ask, by what right do you judge others?
Because this is a world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong. The strong have the right to judge the weak. Here, Zeng Yi was the strong one, and these fleeing individuals were the weak.
The wind stirred, Zeng Yi's figure disappeared from its original position, like the wind flowing and brushing beside every escaping thief.
His figure appeared ghostly beside the thieves, a sword light flashed, and then an evil life disappeared from this world.
"No...please, spare me! I won't do evil anymore!"
"No!"
"You demon...you demon..."
Every scream accompanied a flash of a sword, and it went on until the last scream rang out. Then the entire space became quiet, with only the gentle whistling of the wind brushing over the blood-soaked ground, like a requiem, purifying the souls tainted with sin.
The icy girl stood under a tree, quietly watching this hell-like scene, expressionless. But deep inside, it was like an upheaval, full of astonishment.
This was an unquestionable massacre!
At this moment, the girl had already left the state of Martial Soul possession. Her lifeless black pupils shrank when the man suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her.
Looking at the man in front of her, his silver eyes revealed a sense of indifference, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him, unaffected by emotions, detached from everything.
The girl took a step back, cautiously watching him. If this person had any ill intentions towards her, she knew she had no chance of escaping. She had witnessed the man's strength and speed, far beyond her level. She had no power to resist.
It seems like I scared her!
Seeing the girl retreat a step, wary of him, Zeng Yi wondered about this. Then he left the state of Sword of Selflessness and his eyes turned black, filled with vitality.
Looking at the girl in front of him, she was really beautiful! Even more beautiful than Miss Kali, tall and curvaceous, taller than him by about half a head. She must be about 1.7 meters tall. But her temperament felt cold, giving the impression of being difficult to get along with, like an ice queen.
As he looked at the Xiao Ju in her arms, it was being held between the two big mountains and wore an expression of enjoyment, not even sparing a glance at him. Zeng Yi felt angry.
I risked my life out there, and you are just enjoying yourself in the embrace of a beautiful girl. It's really infuriating! You're clearly a female cat!
"Cough, cough... Xiao Ju, come here." Seeing the cold beauty like this, Zeng Yi felt embarrassed to talk to her, so he called out to the Xiao Ju in her arms.
Then...
He looked away and saw that the Xiao Ju was still closing its eyes, its head nestled against the girl's chest, completely ignoring him.
Ha...haha...
Zeng Yi's mouth twitched. Damn it, it seems like it's quarreling with me, this brat.
"You little rascal..."
Zeng Yi instantly felt unhappy. Who do you think you are? If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be here arguing with me!
He quickly reached out, intending to grab the Xiao Ju from the girl's embrace, but he stopped halfway.
This seems impolite! It feels like I'm touching someone's chest, like a pervert. No, I am a positive soul master. How can I do such a creepy thing?
Then he looked at the girl and found she had been staring at him the whole time. Although her gaze was cold, Zeng Yi felt like it was a contemptuous look towards a pervert. But I saved you!
"Ahem...sorry." Zeng Yi awkwardly apologized to her and withdrew his hand.
"Well...well, miss, can...can you give the Xiao Ju back to me?" Zeng Yi asked cautiously.
No way! It's clearly my cat. Why do I have to request it like this? I saved her, and if she can't even say thank you, what's the meaning of her cold expression? Is she sick? Didn't take her medication before going out?
"It is called Yumi," the girl lowered her head and said lightly while looking at the Xiao Ju in her arms.
"Hehe, I already said its name is... what?"
Hearing the girl's words, Zeng Yi was instantly dumbfounded.
Damn it! I was only separated from Xiao Ju for about an hour, and she changed its name for me.
"Hehehe..." With this, Zeng Yi didn't know what to say and just laughed awkwardly.
"Cough...miss, this is my cat. Its name is Xiao Ju." Zeng Yi coughed twice lightly, then said seriously to her.
"Um, its name is Yumi."
"Hehe, I said, its name is Xiao Ju."
"Its name is Yumi."
What the hell! What's going on? Can't you understand human language? Are you planning to openly steal my cat? If you like cats, go and buy one yourself! What's with tightly holding onto mine?
This situation made Zeng Yi dumbfounded, and his heart exploded with madness.
Don't think that just because you're a beauty, I'll give Xiao Ju to you. We've gone through many life-and-death situations together and formed an unbreakable bond. Don't judge it by its current behavior; it's just throwing a tantrum, it'll be fine later!
"Okay! Its name is Yumi, so can you give it back to me now?" Zeng Yi said helplessly.
Everyone is just ridiculous, randomly naming other people's pets. Don't you know how meaningful the name Xiao Ju is? It symbolizes its rebirth. Xiao Ju sounds so nice, what is this Yumi? Sounds foreign.
