63: Chapter 63 In my eyes, you're not even as good as a dog.

Great Zhou Empire.

Yang City.

"You people of Yang City are all animals! You stand by and watch people die; you have the hearts of snakes and scorpions!"

A group of refugees entering the city roared in anger, their eyes filled with resentment.

"Brothers, loot! Let the people of Yang City also experience the taste of pain."

Following this shout, the group of refugees, like a swarm of locusts passing through, surged crazily into the city. Everywhere they went, they robbed people they encountered and smashed shops, creating a scene of utter chaos.

The commoners of Yang City, watching this sudden disaster, were all seething with rage, their eyes wide with fury.

"You lunatics, are you not afraid of the Investigation Bureau holding you accountable!" a commoner roared loudly.

"The Investigation Bureau? We believe in the True God; only the True God can judge us in this world!"

The leading refugee shouted frantically.

After speaking, he raised the heavy iron rod in his hand and, without hesitation, struck it viciously toward the man in front of him.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream rang out, blood splattered everywhere, and the man fell to the ground in pain.

The surrounding commoners were terrified, yet helpless.

At this moment, more refugees surged into other streets and alleys, with atrocities unfolding continuously.

The order of Yang City collapsed in an instant; shouts, cries, and the sounds of smashing intertwined, resembling a living hell.

And those refugees, under the guise of faith, became increasingly unscrupulous.

They seemed to want to vent all the resentment in their hearts upon this city that had once treated them with indifference.

Not far away, a young girl stood quietly.

She wore a black baseball cap, which perfectly covered part of her forehead, revealing only a pair of large, star-bright eyes.

Xiaomai gazed at the unscrupulous atrocities of the refugees, a deep sorrow revealing itself in her eyes, and then she sighed softly.

She could not help this city.

Because she herself was barely able to protect herself.

The most urgent priority was to find Team Leader Xie as soon as possible and tell her everything that had happened at the city walls.

Only in this way could this city have a glimmer of hope.

Xiaomai tightened the baseball cap on her head with a solemn expression, just as she was about to step away hurriedly.

"Xiaomai..." Suddenly, a voice incomparably familiar to her drifted up.

Xiaomai's heart jumped violently, and she hurriedly turned to look back.

She saw Feng Tao with a heavy expression, her gaze locked tightly onto her, and that look seemed to contain many complex emotions.

Xiaomai's face instantly lit up with surprise, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister Tao! You actually didn't die?!"

After speaking, Xiaomai couldn't wait to run in the direction where Feng Tao was.

Her face was overflowing with excitement, and her pace unconsciously quickened quite a bit.

However, just at this moment, Feng Tao looked anxious and hurriedly called out to stop her: "Don't come over!"

Her voice was filled with tension. Hearing Feng Tao's prohibition, Xiaomai immediately stopped her steps.

She tilted her small head slightly, her face full of confusion, and looked straight at Feng Tao.

Immediately following, she saw a tall man slowly walk out from the dim shadows beside Feng Tao.

The moment Xiaomai saw this man, her pupils constricted violently, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

Her face instantly turned deathly pale, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Xiaomai subconsciously licked her slightly dry lips, and whispered with a slightly trembling voice.

"Gan Xiaoqin..."

Qin Xiaogan was expressionless, his eyes cold and sharp, glancing coldly at Xiaomai like a freezing blade.

Afterward, he turned slightly to the side, his expression still without any ripples, and said to Feng Tao in a flat tone.

"Kill her."

These simple two words made Feng Tao feel chilled to the bone.

Feng Tao trembled slightly as she opened her luscious red lips, her eyes filled with struggle.

She seemed to have many things she wanted to say, but in the end, her lips only moved, and she stopped herself from speaking.

And Xiaomai, standing opposite Feng Tao, was stiff as a statue, her face as pale as paper, with fine beads of sweat constantly seeping from her forehead.

She clenched her teeth tightly, trying hard to calm herself down, her gaze fixed intently on Feng Tao, as if waiting for Feng Tao's decision.

Just at this moment, Feng Tao took a deep breath, as if she had finally gathered her courage.

She slowly opened her mouth and said: "Qin... Emperor Qin, she cannot threaten you, let her leave, is that possible?"

Her voice was a bit hoarse, carrying deep fear and unease. Upon hearing Feng Tao's words, Xiaomai felt a slight relief in her heart.

And Qin Xiaogan looked at Feng Tao with some surprise.

Afterward.

"Slap!" Accompanying this crisp and loud sound that suddenly rang out, it was like a thunderclap exploding in the air.

She saw Feng Tao's body slapped away directly by a fierce palm from Qin Xiaogan.

Feng Tao's body traced an arc in the air, then fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a small cloud of dust.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her originally beautiful face was now full of pain and astonishment.

Feng Tao's eyes looked somewhat blankly at Qin Xiaogan, as if she did not understand why he would suddenly use such heavy force against her.

Qin Xiaogan stood where he was, his expression indifferent. His hand still maintained the posture after swinging the slap, as if that fierce energy had not yet dissipated.

Qin Xiaogan looked coldly at the Feng Tao who had fallen to the ground: "People who are no threat to me are also of no value to me."

"Moreover, you do not have the qualification to make conditions to me."

"In my eyes, you are not even as good as a dog."

As soon as his voice fell.

"Woof!" A loud and abrupt dog bark drifted from Qin Xiaogan's shadow, as if expressing agreement.

Xiaomai stood by with wide eyes, her face full of shock. She looked at Feng Tao's miserable appearance, and a strong surge of anger and sorrow welled up in her heart.

Xiaomai clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the impulse to rush up and fight Qin Xiaogan to the death.

Qin Xiaogan slowly lowered his head, gazing coldly at Feng Tao's eyes full of stubbornness, and found it amusing in his heart.

In his view, only trash would show this kind of look of "I can't beat you, so I'll glare you to death."

Afterward, Qin Xiaogan expressionlessly crouched down slowly.

His body leaned forward slightly, and his right hand was raised extremely slowly, the movement seemingly carrying a deliberate air of ease and nonchalance.

Immediately following, his right hand fell suddenly like a bolt of lightning, carrying a fierce force.

"Bang!"

A dull sound echoed out. Feng Tao only felt a huge force strike her; she could not react in time at all, and her face instantly made extremely intimate contact with the hard ground.

Her face was pressed tightly against the ground, her nose and mouth were squeezed out of shape, and a wave of pain instantly spread throughout her whole body.

Feng Tao's brain also seemed to go blank at this moment.

"Sister Tao!!!"

Xiaomai's scream, filled with terror, was like a sharp arrow, piercing straight through the sky.
