Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 14 - Judgment

Emerging from the dark alley, Qian Renxue walked slowly toward the city guard's headquarters. Upon seeing this, the soldiers standing at the gate hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Hey, little girl, what are you doing here? This is the city guard's headquarters! Anyone not involved..."

Before the leading soldier could finish speaking, he was struck hard in the abdomen. His eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backward, immediately losing consciousness.

"Who...who are you?!" The remaining people stared in fear at the girl with superhuman strength who had knocked down an adult man with a single punch, too afraid to move.

"Shut up!" Qian Renxue flicked her wrist, glanced down at the group, and under her powerful soul force and miraculous control, the soldiers went limp and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness instantly.

"Just went out to buy some things, but encountered all this trouble, what a hassle!" Qian Renxue walked into the headquarters, turned around and closed the gate, ignoring the astonished looks of the people around her, and kicked open a yellow wooden door that stood out from the crowd.

"Damn it, who is this? Daring to disturb my sleep? Don't they have a death wish?!"

The person snoring loudly in the recliner was startled awake by the noise, flew into a rage, jumped up from the recliner, and started cursing at the person who had entered.

But when he saw who it was, he revealed an ugly smile. He slammed his hand on the table and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I searched for you all night and couldn't find you. That woman was as stubborn as a rock and wouldn't say a word. Who would have thought that you would deliver yourself to my door right after she died?"

"Oh! Looks like I didn't go to the wrong room." Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction, summoned the Angelic Holy Sword, and in a flash, crossed most of the room to arrive at the man's side.

With a twist of her wrist, the Angelic Sword drew a strange arc in mid-air, slashing directly at the city guard captain's throat at a tricky angle.

"What? How could a child be so fast..."

Qian Renxue arrived too fast. The city defense team captain couldn't dodge in time and didn't even have time to summon his own martial spirit. He could only reflexively raise his hand to block.

A flash of golden light, followed by a spray of blood, and the man's right arm was instantly severed by Qian Renxue's incomparably sharp angelic holy sword, falling to the ground with a thud, spilling out a large amount of blood.

"Huh, it veered off course. Didn't it hit the head?"

The sword strike failed to achieve its purpose, and Qian Renxue was somewhat frustrated. Looking at her small and cute body, she said helplessly, "Looks like I need to find a way to grow taller! If I'm short, I can't even chop people's heads off."

"Ahhh! My hand, my hand! Ahhh! Someone, help me!" The city defense team captain knelt on the ground, his face ashen. Seeing no one coming to his aid, he could only pick up his severed arm and force a grim smile as he pleaded with Qian Renxue:

"Girl, hero, great knight, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I'm very rich! Spare my life, and I'll give you all my money!"

"Oh!" Qian Renxue looked at the man who had been so arrogant just moments before, now begging her so humbly. She silently lowered her sword and questioned, "Now you're begging me to spare your life, but why couldn't you spare that woman's life just now?!"

"This...this is different. You look like a promising Soul Master, while she's just a lowly Technician..."

"That's... disgusting..."

Qian Renxue couldn't listen to it anymore. She raised her hand and cleaved the disgusting man in two with her sword, letting his internal organs and blood splatter all over the ground.

"The ringleader has been eliminated; now it's your turn." Qian Renxue stepped out of the room, looking at the crowd thronging the entrance trying to escape, and roared, "Those four lackeys who killed that woman this morning, and that Wang Er, get out here! The rest of you can leave!"

Everyone: "..."

"He's Wang Er!" A guard, desperate to survive, kicked a disheveled man out of the crowd. The others followed suit, pushing several of the city guard captain's cronies out of the crowd.

"Let me in, let me in."

Wang Er realized something was wrong and scrambled back into the crowd, only to be kicked away by those who wanted to distance themselves from him.

The angry crowd began hurling insults at him: "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you! Who's on your side?!"

"Exactly!"

"I've been wanting to get back at you for a long time!"

The crowd erupted in a flurry of chatter.

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Wang Er stumbled over to Qian Renxue, kowtowing and crying, "It has nothing to do with me! I didn't sleep with her, I'm just an ordinary person, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"Heh." Qian Renxue chuckled coldly, her eyes devoid of any emotion. She used the blade of the Angelic Holy Sword to force Wang Er to raise his head, and said softly, "I don't blame you. I just want you to go down there and ask her if she can forgive you!"

After speaking, Qian Renxue no longer wanted to waste time on these scumbags. She sighed softly, swept her right hand horizontally, and finished with a gorgeous move from the Angel Sword Technique.

A flash of golden light appeared, blood streaked everywhere, and five heads fell to the ground. Qian Renxue ignored the trembling crowd and strode towards the door.

...

In a messy courtyard deep in the alley of tender feelings, Qian Lingyun simply cleared out a space and used her sickle-like arm blade to dig a large pit large enough to place a coffin.

"I'm so sorry! Because of us, you lost your life."

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun staggered to her feet from the pit and struggled to pull the stiff corpse out of the sack. She lifted one of the female corpse's arms, placed it on her shoulder, and moved with difficulty, dragging the body into the dark coffin.

After filling the tombstone with soil, Qian Lingyun, holding a stone chisel and a smooth stone slab, fell into deep thought. They had only met by chance, and she didn't know the woman's real name, so this tombstone...

Finally, a neighbor who lived nearby happened to pass by and, upon hearing the tragic news, kindly told Qian Lingyun the real name of this poor woman…

After erecting the tombstone, Qian Lingyun walked out the door. Just as she locked the door, she heard Rakshasa Demon Scythe's seductive whisper again: "Look! She thinks you've lost your life. Don't you want to avenge her? Let me help you! You'll thank me for my power."

"I will avenge her," Qian Lingyun said calmly, "but I will absolutely not use you! Using a divine artifact against a Soul Master would be such a waste."

After saying that, Qian Lingyun ignored the Rakshasa Demon Scythe's seduction, spread her six purple wings on her back, and transformed into a purple stream of light, swiftly heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.

A few minutes later, screams of terror echoed from the city lord's mansion.

"What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, I am the city lord!" The fat man scrambled to the corner, looking at the people lying on the ground around him, and said in a fierce but weak voice, "If I die, the Douling Empire will send high-level soul masters to thoroughly investigate this matter. At that time, you can expect to be hunted down and wanted."

"No, no, no, don't think too highly of yourself. You're a useless pig, a filthy maggot, a filthy piece of trash. Even if someone like you dies, few people will care," Qian Lingyun said, staring intently at the fat man huddled in the corner and pointing to the crowd lying on the ground.

"You see, I'm a very reasonable person. I would never harm the innocent. They've just had a normal fainting spell; they'll wake up soon!"

"The only person I want to kill is you."

"Kill me? Why?" the city lord asked in a panic. "You injured my son first! I was just conducting a routine search, and I didn't find you!"

"You didn't find me, but you killed an innocent person!" Qian Lingyun shook her head, her eyes clear, and said very seriously.

"You're going to kill a city lord just for a courtesan!" The fat man stared at Qian Lingyun in disbelief, feeling that there must be something wrong with this girl's mind.

"In the face of death, all beings are equal. Even a titled Douluo has only one life, just like an ant."

"Besides, in my eyes, her life is more valuable than a fat, strong pig like you who only knows how to bully others," Qian Lingyun said impatiently, sharpening the blades of her sickle. "Any last words? I can help you convey them to your family!"

"You madman, you'll get what's coming to you sooner or later..."

"The last words were wrong!" Qian Lingyun sighed and shook her head.

The purple arm blade swiftly sliced ​​open his throat, and the city lord's obese body rotted at a visible speed due to the potent poison.

In the end, only a puddle of bubbling black pus on the ground proved that he had once existed.
