Chapter 38
"I warned you," Huang Quan released her grip, slowly standing up, and looked at the retreating Qin family members with a cold expression. "Don't provoke me."
Huang Quan, the "Evil Spirit."
Her moniker of 'Evil Spirit' wasn’t just a joke.
"One at a time, I kill one; come in pairs, I kill pairs. So today…" Huang Quan swept her gaze over the remaining people. "Since there are ten of you, I will kill ten."
The words she spoke were almost casual, but combined with witnessing her easily dispatch their leader, the remaining nine spiritualists grew fearful and continued to back away.
If someone unfamiliar with the situation were present, they might laugh at the Qin family members' reaction. Nine eighth-grade spiritualists were acting like they were scared of a ghost, all because of a young girl with no spiritual power.
"We…" One of the Qin family members started to speak.
Huang Quan acted swiftly. Without a doubt, the nine individuals believed she would kill them. While they retreated, they spoke, "We were just following orders from the Prime Minister. You see…"
"Are you trying to say that it's not your desire to kill me, but the Prime Minister's wish, so that I don't come after you for revenge?"
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
"Have you ever considered that if I weren't this powerful and unable to kill you, you might have killed me today?" Huang Quan continued walking forward with a smile. "Perhaps you should try looking at things from your perspective. Would you have shown mercy if you could defeat me?"
"Right now, you're begging for mercy because you know you can't beat me. But if you were strong enough, would you be begging?"
"We..."
"You wouldn't," Huang Quan moved swiftly, appearing right in front of the closest person, and with a sudden motion, she grabbed the person's neck and twisted it. With a snap, the person's neck was broken.
She let go of him and watched the lifeless body fall. Huang Quan turned her attention to the remaining eight people, calmly saying, "You won't beg for mercy; you'd want to kill me. If I weren't this strong, I'd be the one begging for mercy. But let me ask you, would you have shown mercy?"
"Nangong Miss, we had no choice. We also have to earn a living. We had to obey the orders of our family head. Please, spare us," one of the remaining Qin family members pleaded.
After seeing Huang Quan eliminate one more person with a single strike, the remaining eight were overwhelmed. They had no intention of resisting any longer.
They couldn't even see how Huang Quan attacked; how could they fight back?
"Using someone else's lives to make a living?" Huang Quan sneered. "And you have the audacity to plead for mercy?"
"So, Nangong Miss won't spare us?" someone asked.
"That's right, I won't," Huang Quan grinned. "What, are you thinking of joining forces against me?"
The remaining eight people didn't respond with words but simultaneously launched their attacks.
Given that they saw no way out, they chose to fight. Perhaps, just perhaps, they might win?
Their self-consoling thoughts were futile, and even when eight people joined forces, it ended up just like the previous two - none of them could land a blow, and Huang Quan swiftly took their lives.
In a short moment, all ten people lay lifeless on the ground.
Huang Quan took out a handkerchief, wiping her fingers slowly, her eyes lowered.
Behind her, Ye Qin observed with deep-set eyes.
Huang Quan had a natural indifference towards people, not displayed on her face but deep within her being.
For those she cared about, like Nangong Mian, she would protect them, and anyone who harmed her loved ones would face her wrath, as seen with Qin San Ye, who was severely injured for just a slap.
But for those who meant nothing to her or sought to harm her, she was ruthless and unyielding. She possessed a profound apathy towards everything in the world.
