Chapter 273 : You Rock, Highgod! 23 (1/2)

‘God-Killer? An ancient demon sword?’

Yue Yao was shaken from the answer. ‘How come I’ve never heard of it before?’

But Shi Sheng didn’t give Yue Yao time to digest this as she suddenly shot towards Yue Yao, her sword bringing up gusts of wind. In that moment, it was as if a destructive energy capable of destroying the heavens and earth had gathered around her.

Shi Sheng slashed her sword down towards Yue Yao, who panicked and subconsciously used Verdance to block. The clashing of blades caused dazzling sparks to appear.

Shi Sheng swiftly hacked and slashed at her. As she did so, she cussed, “Dare to come and show off in front of me(lz)?! Shoulda taken a good look who it was first! When I(lz) was showing off, you were still playing with mud who knows where! Is that Verdance so amazing? Think you’re awesome now you got an ancient divine weapon?!”

It was likely that Verdance did live up to its reputation—after all, it hadn’t broken even after taking so many blows from Shi Sheng’s sword. But it probably wasn’t even able to release a tenth of its true potential with Yue Yao wielding it.

Shi Sheng aimed for Yue Yao’s wrist and stabbed. The latter felt a sharp pain burst through her wrist. “Ah!”

Her hand suddenly lost the strength to maintain a grip on Verdance, causing it to fall from the air. Without the assistance of Verdance, Shi Sheng managed to kick Yue Yao out of the air fairly easily. “There’s a road in heaven for you to go through, yet you insist on opening up hell[1]? Think I’m(lz) dead?! Kill her.”

Shi Sheng kicked Verdance over to the devil beasts who had come running out of the city.

“Sure thing, Boss. You want her in slices or chunks?” Having managed to snatch the sword, the burly Er-Er’s bearded face was all smiles.

The other devil beasts forced Yue Yao to her knees, blood still flowing from her wrist.

“Qing Guan, you can’t do this to me!” Yue Yao shouted in alarm.

Shi Sheng turned a deaf ear to her cries. “Do it.”

‘Don’t wanna see her skipping about one second longer than I have to.’

“Got it, Boss!”

“Qing Guan, you’ll regret this! Don’t forget your red string is still tied to Dong Jing’s!” As the burly man closed in on her, Yue Yao could only take out her final trump card.

“Do it.” ‘Worst thing that could happen is dying. I’ll just respawn, so what’s there to be afraid of?’

“Qing Guan you bitch!”

“Dared to insult out Boss! Cut out her tongue! And you still dared to glare at Boss?! Gouge out her eyes!”

“Aaaah—”

……

Shi Sheng didn’t watch them kill Yue Yao, instead turning to return to the city. Dong Jing was standing beneath the city gates, his gaze falling on an empty space outside the city.

“You really killed her,” Dong Jing spoke up.

‘There was almost no hesitation, she followed through on killing her quickly.

This girl…doesn’t seem like someone descended from gods.’

There was a wicked aura on her. Yet at the same time, that wickedness was different to the wickedness he felt from those people who had committed many atrocities.

Wildly arrogant and antagonistic, yet not murderous.

She held ill-will for others, yet no killing intent.

She would make all sorts of guesses about your ulterior motives, but wouldn’t attack you because of them. Only once she had confirmed your malice was intentionally targeted towards her would she attack with no mercy. Her attacks aimed to kill in a single strike, leaving you not a single chance of life.

“Gonna die anyway, might as well reincarnate earlier.” Shi Sheng hadn’t completely vented yet, so her tone wasn’t pleasant. “I’m not going to see you off.”

Dong Jing, “…”

He thought for a bit before catching up to her. “Is your sword really called God-Killer?”

He knew about Verdance and had witnessed its might before.

But it was inferior when faced with that sword of hers. Even if the person wielding Verdance wasn’t powerful enough to unleash its true potential, it shouldn’t have been suppressed to that extent.

“What? You’re eyeing it?” Shi Sheng turned to direct her placid eyes that could cause one’s scalp to crawl at him.

‘This malice again… I was just asking! There really wasn’t any other meaning behind that question!’

“Already have one.”
