Chapter 397 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (7) (2/2)

‘System, fuck your great grandpa!’

Having been truly infuriated, Shi Sheng pulled her sword back and started smacking Jiang Zhan with it.

“Wu Zheng! Ow—!” Jiang Zhan jumped around in pain from being beaten. “You crazy witch! Stop! The hell are you guys just watching for?! Stop her!”

The surrounding audience, “…”

‘We didn’t see anything. Nothing at all.’

Meanwhile, Shi Sheng continued whacking him to her heart’s content.

‘That’s for having rookie protection! And that’s for colluding with that idiot system! And this one’s for trying to hack me(lz)!’

Jiang Zhan shouted for someone to stop her, but no one listened to him. Even the subordinates he’d brought with him kept their distance, out of fear that Shi Sheng would wallop them too.

“Wu Zheng! Enough already!”

Jiang Zhan was enraged from being smacked so many times and suddenly reached out to grab the sword.

Due to its speed, a normal person’s hand would’ve been cut in half if they dared to try and catch it like he did. But Jiang Zhan managed to catch the sword, though fresh blood began to seep out of the wound on his palm and trickled down onto the blade…

The section of the sword Jiang Zhan was holding onto was dyed red, but the shade was an even brighter red than fresh blood ought to warrant. A faint red light flashed.

Shi Sheng’s eyes darkened.

She jerked her sword back. It buzzed, but she held it down and chucked it back into her space before anyone else got a good look at it.

‘Someone who was born under the Four Yins[2]? How rare!’

Jiang Zhan looked at his hand. The wound was deep and quite terrifying to look at. Just now, he felt his blood swiftly leaving his body.

He lifted his head to look at Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng watched him with a ridiculing expression, her arms crossed.

“Wu Zheng, you—”

“Say anything you shouldn’t, and I’ll kill you.” Shi Sheng cut him off. It was clearly a threat, yet her eyes were completely calm, making her true emotions unreadable.

Her sword couldn’t touch the blood of someone who had been born under the Four Yins. Otherwise, there’d be severe consequences.

Shi Sheng wasn’t really clear about the reason why—she just knew it couldn’t.

“I’ll spare you this time. Dare to attack me(lz) again, and I’ll(lz) cripple you!” Shi Sheng glared fiercely at Jiang Zhan.

‘Son of a goddamn bitch! The leads have the heavenly dao protecting them, while the villains have System protecting them!

I am the only one! Fighting alone! Simply intolerable! This loonie definitely isn’t Feng Ci!’

Shi Sheng scoffed coldly before turning to find a chair to sit in, ignoring the reactions of both the stunned spectators and Jiang Zhi.

She just needed to calm down right now.

The Village Head stepped forward. “Sect Head Jiang, do you wish to continue the competition?”

Jiang Zhan had taken a cloth strip out from somewhere and was currently bandaging his hand. His temper flared as he harrumphed, “Of course! Why not?”

“Sect Head Jiang, do you wish to rest for a b—”

Jiang Zhan pointed at him with Scarlet Heaven and shouted, “Are you looking down on me?! We fight now!”

The Village Head, “…” ‘Am I wrong for trying to make it a fair fight? Truly a case of an ungrateful person turning on someone with good intentions ah.’

“Sir Fu, Sect Head Jiang, let us begin.”

Jiang Zhan swaggered over to the middle of the arena.

Fu Yiyun got up, whereupon Bai Luo grabbed his hand and urged him, “Fu-dage, be careful.”

Fu Yiyun patted her head. “I’ll be fine.”

Fu Yiyun’s sword was called Meteor. It was ranked third on the list of top weapons. But for Fu Yiyun to be called the number one swordsman, one could tell how good his swordsmanship was.

Now that Shi Sheng had drained some of Jiang Zhan’s stamina and inner energy, and that Fu Yiyun couldn’t possibly have fully recovered in three days, the two were evenly matched.

The outcome of the match was now uncertain.

[1] I don’t know how to describe it other than it’s like when a girl acts mad at a guy, but she’s not really, maybe, kinda?

[2] I have no idea about the common terminology for this in other novels, but in other words: this person was born in a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour. I’ve heard of Pure Yin Physique but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was for, so I’m not risking it. Also if you want examples, you can just search it up.
