In just one blink, Jiang Pengji had already taken off several heads without hesitation. The decisive and merciless look on her face shocked even the real assassins.

They were no match to an opponent like Jiang Pengji, and they had the intention to withdraw because they wouldn’t be able to fight against her. Without hesitation, their heads were separated from their bodies.

There were dozens of dead bodies lying around Jiang Pengji. Without exception, they were all killed with only one strike. Some died from their throats being slashed open and others were decapitated. Their heads flew into the air and their blood splashed all over. Some of the heads were still partly attached to their necks; they weren’t going to come off entirely.

Compared to the heavy losses of the assassins, Jiang Pengji didn’t even have a scratch on her. There was sticky blood dripping from her blade nonstop.

“Let’s go! What are you afraid of? Let’s all go!” one of the “bandits” yelled at the others furiously. But his accomplices didn’t feel encouraged at all. Instead, they were more frightened.

They paused their forward steps and took a step backward. Their faces were full of confusion and fright. They were nearly scared to death. No one wanted to risk coming near her, even though they still had the preponderance in people.

Who would take the frontline? The ones who just did all became dead bodies lying on the ground. Their blood was still hot.

The longer the stalemate they were in, the more scared they were. The big swords in their hands wouldn’t bring them any sense of security at all.

Watching them act in such a way, Jiang Pengji couldn’t help but sneer at them. “You bunch of guys are as timid as mice.”

If they left everything behind and focused on defeating her, she might take them seriously. She would even look up to them.

After all, no matter how excellent her martial skills were, she wouldn’t be able to dodge the swarm of blades coming towards her.

However, they flashed their fear to her just after a few dozen of their accomplices had their heads cut off and they attempted to retreat. People like them would always be “power level fives,” even if they had the most advanced laser weapons in their hands instead of plain swords. Jiang Pengji wouldn’t waste much time on slaughtering them.

Just because they showed the desire to retreat didn’t mean Jiang Pengji would do the same.

She walked closer to her enemies by stomping hard against the ground. She shortened the distance between them quickly.

In the “bandits’” eyes, it seemed like Jiang Pengji took off from the spot she was at and moved right in front of their faces in a second. She was crazy fast.

“Ghost!” A “bandit” was so terrified that he couldn’t help but scream that out. Before he got the next word out, he felt something cold against his throat and the next second something hot surged out of the opening. His brain stopped and everything he saw faded and turned to grey.

It was not a matched kill. But the one who had the advantage was not the “bandits,” who had the numbers, but Jiang Pengji, who was soaked with blood.

Cheng Cheng and his wife were stunned where they were standing. They thought it was going to be a firm death for them, but it turned out they could be snatched from the jaws of death.

Mrs. Cheng pressed her lips together and supported her injured husband on the side so they wouldn’t get involved in the fight. Cheng Cheng didn’t forget what Jiang Pengji said to him earlier. He grasped his wife’s hands hard as thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

“Husband…” Mrs. Cheng looked up to her husband and inquired about his thoughts with her eyes.

“Don’t worry. Let’s wait a little longer.” He tapped the back of her hands to ease her anxiety.

While they were talking, Jiang Pengji had taken some more lives without hesitation. It seemed like she had taken a blood bath and it was impossible to tell the original color of her clothes. She was no different from a demon who stepped out of hell. This time, the “bandits” were truly scared to death. They couldn’t control their legs.

But they never forgot their mission. They didn’t have to do harm to Jiang Pengji if they were not able to, but they could kill Cheng Cheng anyway. If they didn’t, their families would be killed and the would never find their bodies.

With that realization, they decided to work together to stall Jiang Pengji and send the others to finish off Cheng Cheng and his wife.

“Husband!” Mrs. Cheng noticed the two people rushing out of the crowd. It was such an emergency that she had to stand up to block her husband.

Everything happened so fast. Cheng Cheng saw them, but his wounds stopped him from avoiding the sword. His last bit of energy could only help him stand up. When he realized what was happening, he quickly reacted to shove the enemies away. The two swords were almost at his head.

Cheng Cheng was so frightened and shouted, “Wife!”

However, neither him nor his wife, who had her eyes closed were waiting for the pain, got the swords they expected.

The huge swords stopped in the air and it seemed like there was a pause of time. The facial expressions on the two “bandits’” faces paused at the moment of ecstasy. They saw that Cheng Cheng and his wife were dead, but it only turned out to be an illusion.

“I told you, just come and fight however you want. It will be my loss if you can’t cross the line.” Jiang Pengji’s sword was no longer in her hands. It seemed like that the two pausing “bandits” lives were taken by the “disappearing sword.” Except the viewers in the streaming room, no one had any clue how she did that.

The two “bandits” didn’t stand abreast, or front and back. How did she finish them both with one strike?

Jiang Pengji had her back to the two “bandits” and she had her hands tied up by the other enemies. How did she do that?

Everyone was at an important juncture of life and death. They didn’t have much time to pay attention to that. From their current perspective, they weren’t able to see the whole picture. But the viewers in the streaming saw what exactly had happened in that moment very clearly.

Laosiji Lianmeng: “It’s so cool. I noticed that the sword curved when our host threw it.”

Yin Yuejia Zhuge Qinmo: “Beautiful double kill!”

Da Zhuangzhu Furen: “I screamed out just now. My roommate really worried about me for a second. It’s so thrilling.”

Yueye Huangye: “What our host just did made me fall in love with her. I really want to give you a whole pile of likes.”

The viewers gave her a series of likes and Jiang Pengji was nearly drowned by all kinds of rewards from her viewers.

The System normally would have bugged her when she received such a big surge of rewards like that, but it remained weirdly silent like it didn’t exist anymore. No one understood, but Jiang Pengji was well aware why it reacted like that.

Kekou Kele: “Wait up, our host doesn’t have any weapon in her hands. What will she do???”

This bullet screen stood out and the viewers who sent all the likes to Jiang Pengji quivered at the idea.

Jiang Pengji had sneakily attacked the two “bandits” with her sword in order to save the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Cheng. She rescued Cheng Cheng and his wife from the dilemma but she trapped herself in a dead end. She no longer had possession of a weapon except for her own fists, while all the “bandits” surrounding her had big, sharp swords.

Cheng Cheng put his arms around his wife in fear. He spotted Jiang Pengji’s situation, moved his lips, but didn’t say a word to remind her.
