Nine Chapters of Strange Cases

Chapter 235 The Moment of Slaughter

"I must say, you have some skill. But unfortunately, as the old saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Today is your death anniversary."

The voice of the burly man in the pink robe was exceptionally harsh, sounding like scratching a pot with fingernails, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Zhao clicked his tongue twice, "Even a dead eunuch is trying to be a womanizer. He really does whatever he's lacking! If he does too many immoral things, he'll surely be childless."

The burly man in the pink robe's face contorted instantly upon hearing this. His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at Zhou Zhao, and the Gu worms above his head began to stir restlessly. "You're about to die, and you're still being stubborn. Do you think you can get off this island?"

Zhou Zhao chuckled as he listened.

“Who wants to go down? None of you are all dead, how could I bear to go down? This boat has been scuttled, so I have no choice but to cross the lake by stepping on your corpses. I just don’t know if stepping on you will dirty my shoes…”

As Zhou Zhao spoke, he simultaneously twisted both wrists, sending eight copper coins flying out with a whirl.

"A petty trick!"

The eunuch Gongsun Yi didn't move. Several guards around him simultaneously drew their swords and slashed at Zhou Zhao's copper coins. Amidst the crackling sounds, a scream suddenly rang out...

"what!"

Gongsun Yi's composure suddenly cracked. He gritted his teeth and looked to the side, only to see one of the guards on his right clutching his pants and rolling on the ground, groaning in pain!
Gongsun Yi was instantly enraged; this was an insult from Zhou Zhao!

This person is too good at killing someone by destroying their spirit!

However, Gongsun Yi had no way to retort to Zhou Zhao at this moment. To his surprise, Su Changying had already arrived. He was holding Zhou Zhao with one hand and gripping a long sword with the other, his eyes filled with ferocity.

Gongsun Yi only stared into those eyes for a moment before immediately giving up.

His heart skipped a beat, as if the aura of death, like the fog of a maze, had enveloped him completely. The killing intent was so dense it seemed to drip water, making it impossible for a living person to breathe.

Su Changying was like a murderous demon; he didn't want anyone to live.

Just as he froze, he suddenly felt a heat on his face, and blood splattered all over his face. Many of the Gu worms on his head were knocked down. He subconsciously looked to the side and saw the guard standing next to him staring blankly at his arm.

After a while, the man realized with a start that his arm had fallen to the ground, and his fingers were still twitching.

He screamed in agony, "My hand!"

What a fast person! What a fast sword!
Gongsun Yi felt as if the blood in his body had almost frozen into a ball. He had heard the legend of Su Changying and knew that he was highly skilled in martial arts, but he thought that even if a living person was powerful, how powerful could he be?
Even if he were the best in the world, could he withstand an army of thousands?

But now he knows he was wrong.

Killing them would be incredibly easy for Su Changying! The only reason he hasn't acted is to maintain a dignified facade and gain more.

There really are people in this world who can chop people up as easily as chopping melons!
As Gongsun Yi was thinking, Su Changying's sword was already in front of him. He suddenly came to his senses and raised his hand to block it. The red Gu worms then pounced on Zhou Zhaotong and Su Changying.

The moment the rain of insects fell, Su Changying and Zhou Zhao disappeared from the spot, and Liu Huang, who was behind them, suddenly turned around and threw a handful of powder.

The yellow powder not only covered the red blood mist, but the guards who didn't have time to close their eyes were also instantly blinded by this unexpected move.

The north wind is blowing now!

They were all standing downwind!

The powder burned the eyes like fire, and many cried out in agony. The red Gu worms fell to the ground one after another, like rain. Just then, Zhou Zhao launched a second wave of copper coins, aiming at the blinded guards.

Gongsun Yi was shocked to see this. When exactly did these three people agree on this tactic?
They hadn't even spoken to each other!
Thinking this, he suddenly retreated, widening the distance between himself and Su Changying. With a wave of his hand, a row of guards drew their bows and fired arrows, which instantly flew towards the three people in the middle. "You help Ah Huang."

Zhou Zhao was taken aback by Su Changying's words. Without hesitation, he threw the copper coin in his hand toward Liu Huang's guards.

With cover, Ah Huang wielded his broadsword with fierce power, holding off the approaching group of guards. With a loud shout, he sent them all flying.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhao took advantage of their illness and killed them.

The copper coins were knocked out one by one, like dates being plucked, until the person was unconscious.

Seeing that more pursuers were coming, Liu Huang noticed a large tree nearby, took a deep breath, squatted down, and pulled out a large tree, sweeping it across the approaching men.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhao couldn't help but exclaim, "Well done, Ah Huang!"

Seeing that Liu Huang had the upper hand, she turned around and hugged Su Changying. Under Su Changying's impenetrable swordsmanship, not a single arrow hit them. On the contrary, many of the arrows that were deflected struck the archers.

"To catch the thief, catch the king," Zhou Zhao whispered.

Almost the instant she finished speaking, Su Changying flashed forward, instantly increasing his speed to an explosive level. In the blink of an eye, his long sword had pierced through Gongsun Yi's robes. Gongsun Yi was horrified and summoned a green Gu worm, which flew towards Su Changying's face.

Zhou Zhao sneered, as if she thought he was dead!

With a swift motion of her blue fish dagger, she sent the Gu worm flying. The worm exploded in front of one of the guards, its green liquid splattering all over his face. The man's face instantly contorted into a terrifying, grotesque shape, like a melting candle.

"what!"

Hearing the cries of agony all around, Zhou Zhao felt no pity whatsoever. These pathetic scum were the ones who had turned their blades on those weaker than themselves. How many people like Wei Ruo and Sun San Niang had been ruined by them?

As Zhou Zhao was thinking, Su Changying's longsword had already met Gongsun Yi's dagger, and the two exchanged thirteen blows in an instant.

Gongsun Yi was skilled in light-footedness, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to lead his "guest" to catch "prey." However, no matter how fast he was, Su Changying was always faster.

His gaze fell on his right hand, where three cuts had been made on his arm by the longsword, and his pink sleeve was stained with blood. His fingertips trembled incessantly, and he could barely hold the dagger in his hand.

Back then, he used this very dagger to easily kill Li Youzhi.

Gongsun Yi felt a chill in his heart. He considered himself a master, but there was always someone better, and he was no match for Su Changying.

Just then, Su Changying moved again. As his longsword flew toward Gongsun Yi's throat, a black coffin nail silently shot out from Su Changying's waist. In an instant, Gongsun Yi felt his knees buckle and was struck by excruciating pain.

He suddenly knelt down, and looking down, he saw that the black coffin nails had pierced through his knees, and Su Changying's longsword was unceremoniously held to his neck.

"Stop! Otherwise, we'll kill Gongsun Yi first, then massacre the island."

Upon hearing Zhou Zhao's voice, the guards looked at each other, gripping their weapons, unsure of what to do.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out, "Surrender immediately! You are surrounded by the Northern Army!"

Zhou Zhao looked towards the back of the crowd and saw Han Ze standing there, panting, with his hands on his hips, holding a large flag with a huge character "Su" written on it!

Seeing Zhou Zhao looking at him, Han Ze jumped up and gave a fawning smile!

Seeing that all was lost, the people on the island instantly threw their swords to the ground, covered their heads, and knelt down.

Zhou Zhao, however, remained vigilant. She whispered in Su Changying's ear, "I didn't see Chen Jiyuan."
