“That’s right. We kept persuading her not to go out just now. It was all because of her stubbornness that led us to this bloody scene!”
Xiaohua looked amused. “Who in our village doesn’t know that you two are the most stingy and selfish? Do you think you’ll be able to survive if she doesn’t save us? Stop dreaming. Don’t you know why these people are doing this? How many children in our village have been taken away this month? It’s only a matter of time before our whole village is gone. Even if she didn’t appear, everything that happened today would still happen. It might even be worse!”
She continued, “All of you didn’t even thank her for everything she did, but instead insulted her. Let me tell you something, you bunch of ingrates. That includes all of you who are standing by the sidelines! All of you will receive retribution!”
When the old lady’s son and daughter-in-law heard these words, they were instantly at a loss for words!
Because Xiaohua was right. Even without Mu Yao, the villagers would have faced this situation sooner or later. In fact, more people would probably die!
Yet, they could afford to back down now. If they did, they would definitely be killed by the boss not far away!
Suddenly, a voice sounded, “Shut up! You’re talking nonsense!”
Before her son could finish speaking, the old lady suddenly slapped him.
A loud slap sounded and half of the man’s face turned red. He looked at his mother, who was furious, in shock and said in an aggrieved tone, “Mother, you hit me!”
The daughter-in-law was in shock too. “Mother, why did you hit him?”
A cold glint flashed across the old lady’s deep eyes as she said, “B*stard! What have I taught you since you were young? You’ve been swallowed up by your own selfishness! You’ve become so indiscriminate that you’re afraid of death! You know very well who our savior is! Shut your mouths! Just pretend you don’t have a mother like me!”
When Xia He heard this, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed. She frowned and glanced at Mu Yao, who was still motionless on the ground.
She thought to herself, ‘Sure. Mu Yao, I see that you’re not faking it. That makes things easier.’
Xia He raised her eyes and looked at all her subordinates in the village. She immediately shouted, “Kill them all, including the demoness, but keep the children alive!”
“Yes, Boss!” the men in black replied obediently.
They quickly picked up their weapons and raised them.
With this order, all the villagers subconsciously trembled. Immediately, they fled in all directions, and the silence was broken.
Xiaohua shouted, “Look, you understand now! No matter what you do, we will all die! But if you didn’t do that to the Heavenly God earlier, she might not have fallen!”
Immediately, the villagers by the side began to cry as they tried to flee. “Hurry up and run!! We were really wrong! We were absolutely wrong. We were stupid to have placed our hope in the wicked. The reason the wicked are wicked is because they have no conscience!”
“Don’t kill me! I’m begging you!”
“Heavenly God, please save us. We didn’t do that on purpose just now. We only said those words to survive. Xiaohua, speak up for us, or you will be killed too!”
The biggest reaction naturally came from the son and daughter-in-law of the old lady. When they heard Xia He’s order, they immediately kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy.
“My Lord, please don’t kill us. You promised us that you wouldn’t kill us as long as she put down the silver sword. Didn’t we do it? She put down the silver sword!”
“Yes, yes. Let us go. We can give you the child. Please let my husband and me go!” the man begged.
Upon hearing this, the old lady roared, “You two ingrates! You’ll give up your own child to save your own lives?!”
At that moment, Xia He suddenly burst into laughter. She raised his eyebrows as she witnessed the scene before her. She then threw Zichun and Zimo aside, and walked toward the couple with a knife.
Soon, two small knives were placed against their necks.
The two of them immediately shut their mouths as they trembled in fear!
Xia He then exclaimed fiercely, “You two are really noisy. My ears are buzzing with your annoying voices. I promised you? When did I make that promise? You don’t even understand human language. You really don’t deserve to live in this world.”
The moment she finished her sentence, Xia He raised her knife and was about to stab the two of them when they shouted in unison, “Help! Miss Mu!”
Just then, Xia He was surrounded by a ball of black fog. She felt as though she was being bitten by small insects. The pain was simply unbearable.
Behind her, a familiar voice sounded. “Xia He, have you had your fun?”
In an instant, Xia He felt as though her entire body had disintegrated. She fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood as she rolled back and forth on the ground!
She gritted his teeth and shouted, “It hurts! It hurts! What’s happening to me?!”
It wasn’t just her, but even the other men in black were forced to throw their weapons away as they unconsciously fell onto the ground, rolling around in pain.
Black shadows surrounded each one of them.
Meanwhile, the villagers who had been fleeing and crying moments earlier were all stunned when they saw this sight!
“What?! What’s going on?!” one of the villagers shouted.
“Could it be… Miss Mu?!” another wondered.
Everyone looked in Mu Yao’s direction.
The moment they did so, their faces and eyes were filled with shock and utter disbelief! That was because Mu Yao was standing in the same spot, surrounded by a cluster of black shadows that darted out of her body like arrows, striking all the men in black!
On closer inspection, Mu Yao seemed to be watching the scene with wide eyes and a smile on her face, as if she could control everything at will.
At this moment, she finally opened her mouth and said, “Xia He, are you done playing? If you are, it’s my turn!”
