Chapter 27: Underground (2/2)

“Let me ask you again, why did you guys ambush this young master?” Qin Yu’s face sunk as his expression turned cold.

The dwarves trembled and the dwarf leader hastily explained, “Earlier in the world above, you wounded one of our comrades. He was the one who dragged you down here and had us ambush you. This matter is unrelated to us and it’s all his fault.”

Qin Yu raised his voice as he asked, “Who is he and where is he right now?”

“He was the first person you killed.”

“He’s already dead?” Qin Yu looked at the area where the dwarf had been killed. Apart from the blood around the crevice, the dwarf had already been buried underground.

Naturally, the dead couldn’t be questioned, so he could only question a living person.

Qin Yu locked his icy gaze on the dwarf leader and demanded in a stern voice, “Speak! Earlier on the surface, there was a girl around the same age as this young master. Was she kidnapped by you?”

“A girl…? This…” The dwarf leader hesitated to reply.

“You’re courting death!” Qin Yu was furious as his blood saber slashed one of the weaponless dwarves.

“Ah!!!” There was a blood-curdling scream as the dwarf was chopped in half. Blood splattered over three feet high and splashed all over the dwarf standing beside him. It frightened the dwarf so much that he directly fell on the floor trembling with fear.

“This young master’s patience is limited! If you still don’t give this young master a satisfactory answer this time, I’ll just directly kill you!” Qin Yu’s eyes flashed ominously as he threatened the dwarf leader.

The dwarf leader’s body trembled as his originally pale face turned deathly pale.

“Alright, I’ll say it. She was taken away by our young master.”

“Who is your young master?!” Qin Yu’s killing intent suddenly exploded as he pointed his blood saber at the dwarves who trembled in fear.

“Our young master is the young master of the Demonic City’s Yi Family and is called Yi Suo. It was him who carried away that woman! This has nothing to do with us so please don—don’t kill me!” The dwarf leader finally collapsed with fear as he stared at the bloody sword pointed at him.

“Very good. Now take me there,” Qin Yu ordered.

The dwarf leader’s face was filled with fear as he said, “N—no, if Young Master Yi Suo found out we betrayed him, he will definitely have us killed!”

“Then are you not afraid of Laozi killing you?” Qin Yu threatened with a shake his sword. 。

“No! Wait!” A drop of sweat rolled down the dwarf’s face. “I can bring you there, but only if…only if…” As he spoke, he glanced around at his comrades.

Qin Yu paused and immediately understood what he was trying to say. He couldn’t help but admire how ruthless this guy was. But of course, he was even more ruthless. The blood saber streaked through the air as the dwarves standing next to the dwarf leader released a miserable shriek. Their heads rolled onto the ground as they died not knowing why.

After killing them, Qin Yu apathetically said, “Alright. Now nobody will know that you betrayed your young master.”

“Fine, but I’m only taking you to the entrance of Yi Suo’s family manor. You absolutely cannot let them see me! Otherwise, I’ll definitely die!”

“Sure,” Qin Yu readily agreed as he sneered in his heart. After they arrived at his destination, the dwarf would be unneeded.

After the two negotiated, they started walking in tandem with one taking the lead and the other walking behind.

Qin Yu was eager to find out what the underground city was like. In his previous life, he had seen an underground palace, but this was his first time seeing an actual city underground.

As they traveled, Qin Yu tried to ease the tension by asking “What’s your name?”

“Replying to young master, this humble servant’s 2 name is Ruo Ji3,” Ruo Ji respectfully replied.

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. His name really sounded strange.

“@#￥!” Just as the two were walking, three people wearing devil masks suddenly rushed out from a fork on the road. They obstructed Qin Yu and Ruo Ji’s path, shouting something Qin Yu couldn’t understand.

Ruo Ji hastily stopped and his expression changed slightly. “Looters.”

Qin Yu saw Ruo Ji’s expression change and couldn’t help but curiously ask, “What are looters?”

“Simply put, they’re robbers. However, they aren’t ordinary robbers.” After Ruo Ji briefly explained, he muttered, “How could they show up here?”

Since they were robbers, then there wasn’t any more reason for superfluous words to be said.

“Attack!” Qin Yu held his blood saber and suddenly attacked. How dare they try to rob him?! They were simply courting death!

“Wait!” Ruo Ji shouted. He wanted to block Qin Yu, however, he was too late. In that split second, Qin Yu’s saber had already cleaved through one of them. His speed was simply too fast.。

“We’re finished.” Ruo Ji saw that Qin Yu had already sliced one in half and his face filled with fear and despair.

Qin Yu didn’t know the terrifying consequences of killing a looter.

1.Qi blade can also be read as energy blade. Imagine an energy blade shooting forward.

2.Ruo Ji refers to himself using “小人” here, which is a way to humbly say “I.”

3.Ruo Ji’s name literally translates to “so strange” (偌奇).
