Chapter 15: The Lolita’s Battle Might is Great

The group of hooligans varied from young to old in age. The older ones were already around fifty to sixty, but the younger ones were too afraid to move. The leader was around seventeen to eighteen, and the man behind him was in his 20s or 30s.

Long Shiyan stared at the thirty to forty people, and her cute face became solemn. She understood that these people had already been tainted by greed and it was impossible for her to defeat them all. She was currently a third-level magician and a second-level warrior. Furthermore, her body was small. Against so many people, she did not know if she could win.

Zi Linglong saw Long Shiyan grasping the woman’s hand. Long Shiyan’s body quickly moved. Dark Douqi gathered on her thigh as she resolutely kicked the woman.

“Bang!”

The woman slammed into the crowd, knocking the other people into the air. Long Shiyan rotated her body and kicked the tall man at her side. As he grunted, his body struck into a wall. From the impact, the wall completely collapsed.

After listening to the sound of breaking bones, the leader fell down from Long Shiyan’s blow. And then, a roundhouse kick directly struck the lanky man as he flew over the wall.

Long Shiyan retreated and kept Zi Linglong behind her.

“Dou…Douqi!”

“She…wasn’t…stupid; she was actually…a powerful warrior…”

“Ah, the leader is dead…”

“Ah, ah, Long is also dead…”

The crowd panicked. Long was such a large and strong man, yet he was killed by a single child. Her movements were quick and accurate, also exceptionally ruthless. Truly… frightening.

However, Long Shiyan’s heartbeat sped up, and she was panting heavily. She glanced around for ways to escape. Lightly speaking, she was just scaring them. She was only a second-level fighter. These few moves had almost exhausted all of her Douqi. If she continued to be entangled in this battle, then she did not know if she could survive.

“Sister…Sister Yan Yan!” Zi Linglong was moved, emotionally crying out. This… this group of people was scary.

“Don’t be afraid!” Long Shiyan stepped back and grabbed Zi Linglong’s hand. “Don’t be afraid, Sister is here with you.”

“Yes… yes.” Zi Linglong held her hand tightly and settled down. Looking at Long Shiyan’s face, she did not feel scared.

She did not fear those men who were bleeding to death on the ground even a tiny bit.

Their people had suddenly died. Fear rapidly spread within the crowd. They began to see Long Shiyan as a monster. They wanted to escape, yet they didn’t dare to move…

The leader died, Big Long had died, the woman broke her foot, and the fainted lanky man had yet to awaken.

“Don’t court death, hurry and go away.” From Long Shiyan’s hand, a thin and sharp one-handed sword appeared. The blade was long and was illuminating a blue light; it doesn’t look like a product that was bought just anywhere.

When the crowd watched her whip out a sword from thin air, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

“We won’t be able to run from her family!” The lanky man who was seriously injured suddenly shouted, “She is just a child. Even if she knows Douqi, she could only use two strokes and nothing else. If she is allowed to run away, then everyone’s life will forfeit.”

Strong winds rose, the black clouds were surging, and the two moons in the sky were quickly hidden by clouds. The sky was completely dark, and only the fire surrounding them continued to light up the darkness.

As soon as this was said, everyone was enlightened. They picked up wooden sticks and stones. When Long Shiyan saw this situation, she decided to no longer be merciful. She launched several wind blades that have already been prepared earlier. In an instant, several heads were decapitated.

There was no mercy.

In this standstill, the crowd became ready for battle. Most of them were just ordinary people, so they had never seen such bloody scenes. Although they had seen death before, this time…

Moreover, those who died were relatively strong people.

“Magician, she is a magician…,” someone suddenly shouted.

“Aaahh, I refuse to die!” Some people tried to escape, however, their legs became soft, and they could not stand.

“Magician, please spare us!”

“Magician, please spare us! These lowly ones no longer dare to go against you!” Once they heard the word “magician”, several people were too scared to move, crying constantly without daring to get up.

Going against a swordsman was no problem, but magicians were another story. They could attack at a distance before anyone could see their attacks. Now that five or six people died due to magic, none of them had the courage to face her.

Long Shiyan’s face was pale, but she braced herself and laughed. “Do you want to try the bloody taste of death?”

“No! I don’t want it!”

“Please spare us!”

“Please spare us!”

No one dared to question the soft and cute voice of Long Shiyan. In their hearts, this little girl was a demon.

“Then, hurry up and leave!” Zi Linglong suddenly stood up, calmly supporting Long Shiyan while shouting angrily to the group.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The crowd rioted for a while; they supported each other and quickly left this bloody purgatory. Long Shiyan finally could not support herself and stumbled into Zi Linglong’s arms.

“Elder…Sister Yan Yan, are you…okay?” Zi Linglong wiped her tears with one hand and held Long Shiyan in her other as she sat on a worn down wooden box.

Long Shiyan looked at several corpses on the ground. From using too much magic, her face was deathly pale. Zi Linglong only paid attention to Long Shiyan, seemingly ignoring the scene of carnage before them.

“Great! Powerful!” At this moment, a loud applause suddenly echoed from the darkness. “I didn’t think that a child from the Long Family could kill so many people at such a young age. Yet, she wasn’t afraid at all, completely remaining calm. Her cold rationality was quite frightening. She definitely understands how to scare people!”

Zi Linglong unconsciously held onto Long Shiyan’s hand. Her blood red eyes stared at the source of the footsteps from around the dark corner.

Long Shiyan’s blinked. With a smile, she said, “My mother once told me that in this world, girls without skill are just commodities.”

“Your mother is very smart!” A woman in a red dress came out from the corner, behind her was an androgynous figure wrapped in a black robe.

The woman in the red dress held a staff among her pale and bloodless fingers. On one was an emerald ring as much more jewelry decorated her hair, like a noble lady.

Nouveau riche!

Zi Linglong looked Long Shiyan’s pale face as her mind seemed distracted. The air seemed to solidify, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and gusts of wind rushed forward. The remaining flames screamed as they burned through more of the surroundings.

The skies were surging, violet lightning was tumbling, and the thunderous rumbling could be heard. However, even in such bad weather, the blood-red star, similar to a certain pair of red blood eyes, could not be hidden.

“Linglong, stay here.” Long Shiyan quickly pulled her back. Right now, Zi Linglong didn’t know how to fight and she was weak, but Long Shiyan herself was obviously not strong enough either. Even in her prime, it would be impossible for her to defeat the two in front of her.

Because they were at least sixth or eighth-level illusionists or warriors. Catching two children would be a breeze to them, unless…

“Little girl, your master isn’t a good person. As you have seen, she had killed so many civilians at a young age without any guilt. I don’t know what she will become when she grows up.” The woman smiled softly, laughing. “Are you sure you still want to follow her in spite of this?”

Her eyes were staring at the color of Zi Linglong’s eyes with confusion. It was really strange. This little girl clearly did not have any magic nor Douqi, yet she wasn’t affected by her illusions. What was odder were the girl’s eyes…even she didn’t dare to look at them.

What was also unusual was how calm Long Shiyan acted in front of this bloody scene. Her expression never changed, not even a tiny bit. Ordinary people would normally cry as their legs go soft when they witnessed this kind of thing, right?

“Wretched woman, don’t disparage Elder Sister Yan Yan,” Zi Linglong said without hesitation, but she also moved back, gently rubbing the blood off of Long Shiyan. However, her eyes were fixed on the duo.

Long Shiyan did not say anything, thinking about what should be done in order to escape.

The woman suddenly smiled at Long Shiyan. “Miss Yan Yan, how about you come with me?”

“Okay,” Long Shiyan nodded. “But I want to know what happened to my cousin first.”

“It’s slightly regrettable.” The woman shrugged. “He was saved by his hidden guards. But unfortunately, they thought that our goal was only Long Pingtian, and focused all of their fighting power in order to protect him. Little did they know, we were also aiming for the Long Family’s little princess.”

“From the start, your goal was me?” Long Shiyan was surprised. As a girl, it was impossible for her to inherit the family business in the future. She shouldn’t be the primary assassination target.

“Originally, we weren’t aiming for you. It was nothing more than a convenient turn of events. But who knew that you were able to maintain consciousness and see through my illusion.” The woman lifted her chin and smiled. 

After Long Pingtian escaped, their original plan failed and they were preparing to give up. But she soon remembered that she accidentally got another prey.

It was a pity that their prey didn’t walk straight towards them while under the illusion, but instead, wandered off. Because of that, she had to go search for Long Shiyan.

However, she was able to see something interesting.
