She thought that after winning, the other party would still be unwilling to give in and fight her.
I also thought that it would be difficult to kill it, so my goal was to repel it.
In the end, the opponent abandoned the Black Spirit Blade Master and retreated without even fighting...
After a while, even the bald monk's breath could no longer be sensed.
"There are still a lot of things left to do." Xi Heng came back to his senses and turned around.
Looking at the Black Ling Sword Master who was still on the ground, he had used up all his energy to maintain his injuries and was unable to move his body anymore.
The sword is held backwards, ready to stab.
On the way, she recalled the scene in the palace in her previous life and asked, "Are there any last words?"
After a few seconds of silence, the opponent suddenly pushed his hand and flipped his body upwards, ignoring the huge crack on his waist with his internal organs flowing out. He grabbed a dagger that was emitting a cold light and a chilling aura, and suddenly made a final counterattack upwards.
However, this trick is only effective against ordinary people with Hua Jin, but it is completely hopeless against Xi Heng, who has excellent reaction speed.
She dodged it easily, raised her sword and cut the enemy's wrist again, then cut off the dagger and the entire right hand at the same time.
The five thick white fingers, which had lost their strength and turned into pieces of meat, fell to the ground and were crushed by her foot, making a series of cracking sounds.
At the same time, the blade turned and pressed down, piercing the heart.
When it was pulled out again, blood gurgled out almost like boiling water.
The Black Spirit Blade Master's full body energy could no longer be circulated, his body twitched and spurted blood, and blood also came out of his mouth. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in fact he no longer had the breath to sustain it.
After his heart was pierced, he twitched for half a minute before he barely lost consciousness and his eyes turned gray.
Probably dead...
Xi Heng stayed there and watched for a while, then stabbed the head with his sword again. He relaxed his mind only after making sure that the man was not pretending to be dead.
"Is this revenge?" she said to herself.
However, perhaps because the enemies are too weak, it feels a little bland.
"I didn't even use any real killing moves. I just relied on my strength to crush him... I didn't have a good time." She shook her head and stared at the bloody blade in her hand.
"If you can fight with me for a few more moves, it might be more interesting."
Looking around again, because the people from this Liang family fled very quickly, the ground was not covered with corpses and blood like the previous ones.
However, Xuezi had already chased the fleeing person and probably left a pool of blood somewhere else.
Xi Heng turned his gaze and looked towards another larger family courtyard in the distance.
The white-browed monk had been persuaded to retreat by Xi Heng just now. The Cai family should no longer have any Hua Jin warriors guarding them, so she can kill them at will.
But before that, we should wait for the blood sons to return.
Xi Heng randomly found a corpse on the ground and wiped the blood and brain matter off the sword with his outer clothes.
He sheathed his sword and walked towards the mahogany round table which was still steaming and filled with delicacies from land and sea.
Among all the precious ingredients, she just picked up a small piece of osmanthus cake and put it into her lips.
A moment later, the Bloody Killer, his body splattered with blood, returned from outside the yard.
When they landed, the blades in their hands were still dripping with blood.
"There are still three more families to kill. Do you want to take a break?"
Xi Heng pointed at the round table in front of him. The fine clothes and delicious food placed on it were comparable to those of the royal family. I wonder how much gold and silver they cost.
"No need." The leader of the four blood sons shook his head and whispered, "We should fight quickly and end it quickly."
After saying that, he led the group towards the next target.
However, the petite one among the blood killers hesitated in his steps.
Staring at the feast in the pavilion, his throat moved slightly, as if he swallowed his saliva.
Xi Heng smiled slightly, picked up a piece of Poria cocos cake and took a bite of it, then followed the blood sons out of the courtyard and continued to slaughter the other three families.
……
Afterwards, they wreaked havoc on the territories of the two powerful families and never encountered any strong resistance again.
At most, he was attacked by three people who had mastered the dark power, and was killed by a wave of blood-red sword energy that Xi Heng slashed out.
Because she had often been enemies with Hua Jin warriors in recent months, she mistakenly believed that Hua Jin warriors were not too rare. She might encounter them again tonight, so she was already prepared.
But when he entered the two treacherous families of Cai and Wang, he realized that he could not hire enough Hua Jin warriors to stop her in a short period of time, and they would only be slaughtered wantonly. Only then did he realize that Hua Jin warriors are indeed rare in the world.
Several treacherous officials in the capital could only hire a mercenary like the Black Spirit Sword Master, and they could not get the stronger White Eyebrow Monk to join the battle wholeheartedly.
After beheading the deaf and blind former prime minister Cai Yuan, Xi Heng led his blood sons to the last Li family.
But on the way, he met an imperial guard under Chu Xiao, who stood in front of him.
"What's the matter?" she asked, tilting her head.
"When Li Shimei heard what the princess had done, he went to see Your Majesty and promised to give away all his property and help plunder the other traitors' property. He would use all his resources to protect Your Majesty's safety, and only asked for his life." The other party said, "Your Majesty then issued an order that the Li family would not be killed."
"..." Xi Heng didn't expect this guy to be intimidated so quickly. He said with a sigh, "If I had known earlier, I would have killed him first."
However, now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to be busy anymore.
She is not a real demon who would feel excited and happy from killing people.
She killed people only as a means to achieve her goal.
Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to kill again deliberately.
……
The next morning, a notice was suddenly posted on the notice board in the inner city, with black words written on white paper, and every word was clear.
There is a sense of anger in the text, but the main meaning is very simple:
The so-called Saint of the Dark Sky Sect killed five elders and important ministers overnight. The clan was slaughtered and blood flowed like a river. She must be killed, so a reward was issued...
Hundreds of onlookers were speechless at first, but after a moment, a loud cheer came from somewhere.
……
Chapter 117: Gently twist and slowly gather
In the clear autumn night sky, apart from many vaguely visible stars, there is only a conspicuous bright moon that looks like a round jade plate.
There are only a few barely noticeable remnants of cloud in the sky, giving people a sense of clarity.
The night wind in late autumn was growing colder, making the mulberry trees in the courtyard where Xi Heng was rustling.
A withered yellow leaf slowly fell and landed on the blood-stained soil below.
The sky above was clear, but the air in the family courtyard below was quite turbid.
Countless bodies, some intact and some broken, lay on the ground, with thick dark blood oozing from the wounds.
The blood gathered into a pool on the stone floor beneath his body, and ripples appeared slightly as the autumn wind blew past.
The blood-stained sleeves swayed, and the hair gently stroked Xi Heng's face.
"There shouldn't be any more, right?" The girl looked at the dozens of corpses scattered around.
……
It should have ended sooner.
She had already dismissed the four blood killers who had accompanied her in today's incident, and was about to return to Qin Xie Changxiang and Hua Manlou along the same route, without wasting time to make use of the many corpses killed today.
I have been wandering for so long tonight, and I wonder how many souls have died at the hands of my sword.
If we concentrate the corpses to activate the method of absorbing spirits and transform all the people killed tonight into spiritual energy, perhaps we can get a rough number.
But this is the capital city after all. The annihilation of five major families overnight is shocking enough. If they are all turned into skinny mummies without a trace of blood on their bodies, it will probably cause panic among the people of the entire capital city and make them even more repulsive to the Dark Sky Sect.
She thought, forget it.
However, what happened tonight did not end as easily as she had imagined.
Under the moonlight, Xi Heng returned along the same route using Qinggong. When he passed by the Liang family courtyard where he had killed people before, he heard the sound of commotion coming from there.
As you get closer, you can see that some servants or housekeepers dressed in simple cloth have suddenly returned to the Liang family and are crowding into the family's main house.
These people collected all kinds of valuable things in the room like ants carrying food, hugged them tightly and took them away.
On the way, some people quarreled over the same item, and the fat butler next to them yelled:
"What are you arguing about? There are so many things here. It's better to move more than wasting time here! The more you move, the more money I'll give you!"
Then a gold and silver hairpin was dropped at their feet, and the servants stopped their quarrels and got down to work.
"Move?" Xi Heng felt even more murderous.
It should be stealing, right?
After making the decision, she immediately returned to the courtyard, drew out her newly sheathed sword, and easily cut off several heads around her.
All the housekeepers and servants were terrified when they saw her again, the demon who destroyed the whole family.
Before the fat butler could utter a word, many servants had already run away.
But how could Xi Heng allow that? He immediately pulled out a flying sword from behind and scratched its rough surface with the spirit stone.
With just a sudden movement, the spirit stone drew out a blazing fire, and the flying sword seemed to come alive and chased after every fleeing mortal.
The speed of the flaming flying sword is faster than that of a warrior's martial arts, and ordinary mortals around it cannot escape.
However, in just a few moments, many hideous bloody holes appeared on the fleeing person's body.
Gradually, people no longer dared to flee and huddled together. The butler in front had already knelt down and begged for mercy.
Xi Heng no longer wanted to kill anyone tonight. Having seen enough blood and gore, he no longer had the heart to raise his sword and kill. He just said indifferently:
"Put your stuff down and get out of here."
The servants shouted yes hurriedly, dropped what they were carrying and ran away in panic.
But she saw that several of them were still holding jade pendants and hairpins in their hands, so she immediately mobilized her flying sword to kill them.
When there was no one around and all was quiet again, she put away the two swords and relaxed her mind.
"…Looks like we need to do some more inspections."
Xi Heng then performed Qinggong and circled the ancestral lands of the Zhu, Li, Wang and Cai families, the big families in the inner city.
In the end, it was discovered that only the survivors of the Liang family had the courage and ability to ask the servants to return and take away the property.
The other destroyed families were all silent.
Maybe it was because most of the Liang family members were only hunted by the blood sons, and she herself did not actually participate in the massacre, so she missed some...
Xi Heng thought silently, looking at the dozens of corpses scattered around him, letting the cool late autumn breeze blow his hair.
After an incense stick or two, he heard the faint shouts of the palace guards in the distance, and then he continued to run away.
……
In the silent and deserted night, the girl's toes touched the tiled house, flying as smoothly as a swallow.
Xi Heng finally left the inner city clan land that still smelled of blood and returned to Qin Xie Chang Lane.
The outside world was pitch black and silent, but in Qin Xie Chang Lane, the night party had not yet ended.
The lanterns hanging on all sides seemed to be swaying gently like candied haws. Xi Hengxing was walking under the light, and his red outfit like a knight was particularly eye-catching.
Although the surface of the red clothes was stained with a lot of blood, it did not attract the attention of others because its base color was bright red.
As she walked, she would occasionally hear a woman laughing beside her, inviting her, the female knight who was strolling at night, to come into the building.
Whenever Xi Heng was invited, he would subconsciously take a look and see the lights and wine in the building, as well as the luxurious decorations that would intoxicate people.
The aroma of flowers and wine wafted from it, and even made her wonder whether she should go in and take a look while she had some free time, and experience a little different hospitality...
However, such thoughts only flashed through her mind for a moment before she put them aside.
Xi Heng has used up half of his energy and blood tonight and feels a little tired.
Besides, it was not in her character to go to such a place and deliberately socialize with strange women.
