Chapter 14: Killing the Qin King, Revenge
“Cough, cough.” Behind you, Su Yao could not help but cough twice, her injuries beginning to act up.
The Embroidered Guard below had also begun to move, searching room by room. It would not be long before they reached your booth.
Su Yao knew she could not escape death. She withdrew the dagger from your neck and said with a bitter smile, “You should go. I won’t kill you.”
“It’s just a pity I can’t personally kill my enemy, for… Huh? Young Master, why are you here?” Halfway through her final words, Su Yao saw your true face, and her tone carried some surprise.
“We meet again, Lady Su.” You smiled faintly in greeting.
Su Yao smiled, but her eyes suddenly dimmed. She turned to leave. “Young Master, I cannot implicate you. Let us part forever!”
She had only taken two steps when she directly collapsed to the ground, her internal injuries erupting in full.
You walked to Su Yao’s side and handed her a pill. “Eat it. It will help your injuries recover.”
“Th-thank you.” Su Yao was stunned for a moment, then without a shred of hesitation swallowed it in one bite, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and began circulating her technique.
“Aren’t you afraid I gave you a poison pill?” A flicker of surprise passed through your eyes.
“I was already a dead woman. Even if it were a poison pill, I would accept it.” As her technique began to circulate, Su Yao felt her internal injuries recovering at an extremely fast rate. In the time it took to say a single sentence, she was mostly healed.
“Young Master, what kind of pill did you give me? The effect is actually so good!” Su Yao was very happy. She stood up and asked you.
“Just an ordinary healing pill.” Compared to this, you were more curious why she wanted to assassinate the King of Qin.
Su Yao let out a bitter laugh and told you the whole story from beginning to end.
Ten years ago, the King of Qin toured the world and passed through the village where Su Yao lived.
The villagers had never experienced such a thing. They hurriedly brought out the best things in the village and served the King of Qin with the highest possible hospitality.
Who would have thought that the King of Qin at the time, on the grounds of “I do not eat beef,” actually ordered the village massacred!
At the time, aside from Su Yao, who had been out playing, no one escaped. All one hundred and thirty people of Su Family Village died without exception!
The young Su Yao had never experienced such a thing. She was scared out of her mind.
It just so happened that the Absurd Daoist passed by Su Family Village, saw that young Su Yao had no one to care for her, and took her away to raise to adulthood.
After growing up, Su Yao learned a full set of skills. To avenge her one hundred and thirty fellow villagers, she entered to assassinate the King of Qin!
“I was about to succeed. Who would have thought there was such a powerful cultivator by the King of Qin’s side? My dagger had already stabbed in at the time, just a tiny bit short!” As she spoke, Su Yao could not help but cry.
“But it’s all right. Now that my injuries have recovered, as long as I can escape, there will still be chances to assassinate him sooner or later!” Wiping her tears, Su Yao spoke optimistically.
After hearing the crimes committed by the King of Qin and looking at Su Yao forcing a smile, you made a decision in your heart.
“Search it!” Outside the booth, a voice suddenly came. The Embroidered Guard had already reached the second floor.
“Great kindness needs no thanks. If this little woman can escape, I will definitely repay the Young Master for saving my life today!” With that, Su Yao circulated her technique and turned to leave.
“Evil woman, halt!” The Embroidered Guard suddenly appeared, directly charging into the booth.
Seeing the assassin about to escape through the window, the lead commander actually pointed his blade at you and loudly threatened, “If you dare run, I will kill your accomplice!”
Hearing this, you had just been about to act when you noticed Su Yao stop in her tracks and cast a spell at the Embroidered Guard commander.
As Su Yao attacked, she loudly shouted, “This matter has nothing to do with him. The assassination of the King of Qin was all my doing alone!”
“Whether it is related or not, this King is the one who decides!” The King of Qin quickly arrived upon hearing the commotion, the Immortal Master at his side following close behind.
The Immortal Master first glanced at Su Yao. Discovering that Su Yao’s injuries had already recovered, he frowned. Then, when he looked at you, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
The Immortal Master rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked at you again, and was instantly shocked.
“Senior Brother, why are you here?”
After hearing the voice transmission, you looked around and quickly confirmed the target. You looked at the Immortal Master and sent a voice transmission. “You are… an Outer Sect disciple of the Body-Refining Sect?”
“Senior Brother still remembers me?” Li Goudan was very excited and hurriedly introduced himself. “Senior Brother, I am Li Goudan. When you were still the Outer Sect Deacon, you even helped me before!”
“Mm, I have some impression.” You looked at Su Yao, who was locked in a hard fight with the Embroidered Guard commander, and said casually, “That female assassin is my friend.”
“A small matter like this, leave it to your Junior Brother to handle.” Li Goudan was full of excitement. His chance to perform had come.
“Everyone, stop!” Li Goudan released the full extent of his ninth-layer Qi Refinement cultivation, intimidating everyone present except you and Su Yao.
“Immortal Master, I am a bit short of breath. Please retract your divine ability.” The King of Qin beside him hurriedly begged for mercy. Being close, he suffered the strongest pressure, making his originally just-recovered injuries even worse.
Despite this, the King of Qin still did not dare show the slightest complaint, and could only beg for mercy.
Hearing this, Li Goudan instinctively withdrew his pressure.
The King of Qin, having obtained relief, gave his thanks, then pointed at Su Yao. “Please, Immortal Master, act and capture this female assassin.”
Su Yao, who had been about to take you and flee, suddenly paused upon hearing this, then grabbed your hand to run.
You stood there, letting Su Yao tug however she wished without moving at all, only the look in your eyes as you watched Li Goudan growing dangerous.
“Fuck your mother, what female assassin? That’s my Senior Sister!” Sensing your somewhat dangerous gaze, Li Goudan suddenly snapped to his senses, directly kicked the King of Qin to the ground, and cursed.
“Huh? Me? Senior Sister?” Su Yao’s tugging paused. She pointed at herself, a face full of disbelief.
Li Goudan hurriedly lifted the King of Qin and brought him before Su Yao. “Senior Sister, this bullshit King of Qin is yours to deal with however you want. Weren’t you going to kill him? Kill him however you like!”
At this moment, Su Yao’s mind was still blank. Things had changed too quickly, and she had not yet grasped the situation.
“Immortal Master, spare my life! As long as you let me go, I will agree to whatever you want!” Although the King of Qin had not figured out what exactly was happening, that did not stop him from kneeling and begging for mercy.
Seeing this, the Embroidered Guard beside him had just been about to act when Li Goudan slapped them all into serious injury. He glanced at the King of Qin and lightly reminded, “Begging me is useless.”
Hearing this, the King of Qin could no longer care about face and knelt before Su Yao, begging for mercy.
You drew the dagger Su Yao had dropped on the ground up through the air and handed it to Su Yao. “Kill him!”
Su Yao took the dagger. Under the King of Qin’s terrified gaze, she drove it straight into his heart.
Pulled out, stabbed again, pulled out again, stabbed in again, over and over.
Only when the King of Qin had completely stopped breathing did Su Yao fall to her knees, unable to hold back her loud sobbing.
“Father, Mother, and the villagers of Su Family Village, little Yao has avenged you!!!”
