EBE Chapter 137 Diao Wu
Chapter 137 Diao Wu
The remaining thugs, having witnessed their leader's tragic end, trembled uncontrollably and tried to escape this death trap in the chaos.
Daya and Xiaoyue were not about to let them escape so easily. They flashed away and chased after them like two gusts of wind.
Daya's movements were lightning fast, her fists whistling through the air, instantly knocking the three thugs to the ground.
They groaned in pain, rolled on the ground, and cried out in agony, as if paying the price for their crimes.
Xiaoyue, on the other hand, was even more resolute and decisive; the long sword in her hand was like the brightest lightning in the night sky.
Each swing was accompanied by a flash of cold light, accurately reaping the lives of the wicked.
The sword light flashed like silk, disappearing in an instant. None of the remaining villains escaped; they all fell under her sword.
After Xiaoyue finished dealing with the villains, she turned around and returned to her original spot, only to see Daya staring at her with a complex and indescribable look.
His eyes held anger, helplessness, and a hint of barely perceptible sadness.
"Xiaoyue, why did you kill them all? You're getting more and more ruthless."
Daya's tone was reproachful, yet it also revealed deep worry.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue's face turned pale instantly. She hurriedly explained, "Sister Daya, they have committed such heinous crimes, killing innocent refugees. How can they not be eliminated?"
If we let them go today, they will continue to do evil and harm even more people in the future.
Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Da Ya's eyes.
She knew that what Xiaoyue said was true, but her inner principles made it difficult for her to accept this method of fighting violence with violence.
"Even so, you shouldn't take people's lives so easily. I don't want to see you become a bloodthirsty killer."
Daya's words carried a hint of sternness, yet also revealed deep concern.
Looking at Daya's complicated expression, Xiaoyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She understood Daya's worries and expectations.
She nodded gently, her voice soft yet firm.
"Big Sister, I understand. I promise you, I will never kill anyone easily again, unless absolutely necessary."
Upon hearing this, Da Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then she turned her gaze to the three thugs on the ground who had been injured by her.
They huddled together, their faces filled with fear and pain, as if they were repenting for their sins.
Daya approached them and shouted angrily, "Speak! Why are you harming these innocent people?"
Are you not citizens of the Kingdom of Spirits? Do you have no conscience at all?
Her voice was filled with anger and disappointment.
The three thugs trembled with fear upon hearing this, and one of them begged for mercy in a trembling voice.
"Girl, spare us! We didn't want to do this, but the boss forced us to come out and rob."
If we disobey, we will be severely beaten; we are forced into this situation.
Listening to the villain's lament, Daya frowned.
She knew all too well that in this chaotic world, everyone had their own hardships and helplessness.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
Then he said, "Don't you have family? Don't you have relatives?"
If someone were more skilled in martial arts than you and treated them the way you do, wouldn't you feel pain and despair?
Why can't you think about and understand the suffering of others?
Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt and remorse flashed in the eyes of the three thugs.
They knew they had committed an unforgivable crime.
But in this chaotic world, they were forced onto this path simply to survive.
Looking at them, Da Ya felt a surge of pity.
She knew that although these people had made mistakes, it didn't mean they had no chance to reform themselves.
She waved for them to leave: "Go on, but don't do anything wrong again."
If you don't repent and change your ways, the next time you encounter someone with even greater martial arts skills than me, I might not be so easy to talk to.
Upon hearing this, the three thugs showed expressions of surprise and gratitude.
They kowtowed repeatedly, expressing their gratitude: "Thank you, young lady! Thank you, young lady! Our leader is dead, and we will no longer kill indiscriminately."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the scene.
As Da Ya watched their retreating figures, she was filled with mixed emotions.
She knew that in this chaotic world, everyone had their own choices and destiny.
But she also believes that as long as everyone can understand and tolerate each other and work together, they will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty and usher in a better future.
After the three left, Daya and Xiaoyue came to their senses.
They looked silently at the people lying on the ground, who had lost their vital signs, their eyes filled with deep helplessness and sorrow.
They now understand this chaotic and war-torn era.
Such tragedies happen almost every day in different corners of the world.
Although they were powerless to change the entire Spirit Kingdom, they could not stand idly by now that they had encountered it.
At the very least, we must do our utmost to fight for that slim chance of survival for these helpless refugees.
Just moments ago, a middle-aged man staggered up to Daya and Xiaoyue from the group that had been robbed by the villains.
His face was covered in dust and weariness, but his eyes shone with gratitude.
"Thank you both for your help. If it weren't for your timely arrival, we would probably all have died at the hands of these bandits."
The middle-aged man's voice was choked with emotion, clearly deeply moved by what he had just witnessed.
Upon hearing this, Daya and Xiaoyue both gently shook their heads, their eyes filled with tenderness and determination.
"No need to be so polite. Since we've happened to run into you, we certainly won't just stand by and do nothing."
Their voices, though soft, conveyed an undeniable determination.
However, human nature is always complex and changeable.
Not everyone in this group of refugees was grateful for Daya and Xiaoyue's help.
Suddenly, two sharp-tongued women rushed out from the crowd, each grabbing one of Daya and Xiaoyue's arms tightly and starting to berate them loudly.
One of the women even shouted angrily, "You damned bastards! Why didn't you show up sooner?"
"My husband is already dead, and you only just came to rescue us? Why don't you all die and bring my husband back?"
Another woman echoed her sentiments, her words filled with anger and discontent.
Just as the appearance of Daya and Xiaoyue did not bring them hope, but instead exacerbated their pain and despair.
Faced with the two women's unreasonable demands, Daya and Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a mix of anger and helplessness.
They also knew why the two women were so agitated.
It is because they had already endured too much suffering and despair during their long journey of fleeing famine.
Even so, this is not a reason for them to blame the two of them.
"Aunties, we are also very sorry for not arriving sooner." Daya's voice carried a hint of firmness and sincerity.
"But please believe that we have been trying our best to protect everyone who needs help. Please forgive our powerlessness and belated efforts."
But the two women didn't seem to appreciate it, still holding onto Daya and Xiaoyue's arms tightly and continuing to yell at them.
Just then, an old man suddenly stepped out from the crowd.
He took shaky, unsteady steps, each one seemingly a struggle.
He gripped the cane tightly in his hand, as if it were the source of strength that supported him to move forward.
As he approached the two women, his cane slammed heavily into the ground, producing a series of dull, loud thuds.
When he finally stood in front of the two women, he looked up.
He stared at them sternly and said loudly, "What exactly do you two want to do? Put your hands down right now."
Don't you know that these two girls just saved so many lives here?
They risked great danger to help, and you did the opposite.
Instead of being grateful, they blamed the two girls.
If it weren't for these two girls appearing in time and lending a helping hand, pulling us all back from the brink of death...
"Can you two still act so recklessly and unreasonably here?"
The old man's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of authority, resounding like a great bell in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing these words, the two women were slightly taken aback, and a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
They instinctively looked at the old man, but when they met his unwavering and angry eyes, they involuntarily looked away, unable to meet his gaze.
Under the old man's righteous and stern rebuke, the two women who had been aggressively grabbing Daya and Xiaoyue's arms stopped.
At this moment, like a deflated balloon, he gradually loosened his grip.
Although their faces were still full of anger and dissatisfaction, and they were muttering complaints under their breath.
But in the end, they didn't have the courage to continue the entanglement.
As Daya and Xiaoyue watched all that was happening before their eyes, the huge weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted, and they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
For them, such a scene was far too unfamiliar and terrifying.
They had never encountered such unreasonable and rude people before.
