70: Chapter 70 Goddess of War? Nothing More Than My Plaything - 4
Qin Xiaogan's figure, suspended in the air, suddenly flickered.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Xie Xiyun like a phantom.
At the same time, he brought with him an incredibly terrifying sense of oppression.
Xie Xiyun's pupils constricted violently in that instant.
Qin Xiaogan clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it ruthlessly toward Xie Xiyun's full, high chest.
At this moment, a sharp fist wind, like a wild horse breaking its reins, lunged straight at Xie Xiyun with savage intensity.
Seeing this, Xie Xiyun hurriedly held the rapier in her hand horizontally across her chest, attempting to block the attack.
However, the fist wind was unstoppable, and with a powerful impact, it sent Xie Xiyun flying backward along with the rapier.
Xie Xiyun's body drifted backward through the air involuntarily, like a kite with a severed string.
Under the powerful impact, the rapier let out a sharp, shrill cry, a sound like a piercing scream that made one's heart skip a beat.
“Pfft!”
Xie Xiyun couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of foul blood, which sprayed out like a fountain, splattering in dots all around.
Her body trembled slightly as she clutched her chest, which felt as if it were about to burst with pain, with her shaking hands. Her legs were quivering as she struggled slowly and painfully to stand up.
Just as Xie Xiyun managed to steady herself,
A straight and slender arm suddenly appeared in her field of vision like a ghost.
The arm's lines were elegant, yet it carried an aura that inspired terror, causing Xie Xiyun's already tense heart to leap into her throat.
Then, before she could react,
Xie Xiyun's fragile throat was gripped tightly by Qin Xiaogan's powerful, large hand.
In an instant, Xie Xiyun's complexion became extremely unsightly, like a crumpled piece of white paper filled with pain.
【War Might】
A golden aura, looking as if it were cast from gold, erupted violently from Xie Xiyun's body like a volcanic eruption.
That aura carried a rolling, unstoppable divine power as it surged towards Qin Xiaogan.
Qin Xiaogan's eyes suddenly sharpened at this moment, his gaze revealing a cold sternness.
And that originally aggressive aura, upon coming into contact with Qin Xiaogan's piercing gaze,
Acted as if it had been greatly frightened, like a mouse meeting a cat. It vanished completely in an instant, leaving only a faint ripple in the air to prove its prior existence.
Then, Qin Xiaogan slowly lifted Xie Xiyun up like he was picking up a chick.
Xie Xiyun's legs kicked and thrashed instinctively in the air; her originally straight and slender legs now appeared helpless and frantic.
Her hands gripped Qin Xiaogan's arm tightly, her nails sinking deep into his skin.
Those neatly trimmed nails seemed to turn into sharp weapons, leaving white marks on Qin Xiaogan's arm, and even traces of blood began to seep out.
Qin Xiaogan's brow furrowed slightly.
Immediately after, he ruthlessly threw Xie Xiyun onto the ground.
“Bang!” A dull and massive sound exploded.
Accompanying this sound, the hard concrete floor was forcibly smashed into a clear, human-shaped crater.
The edges of the crater were full of shattered cracks, as if telling of the immense impact of this fall.
Xie Xiyun lay in the crater, her entire body curled into a ball.
“Ugh...”
A silent groan of pain escaped her mouth, a sound that seemed squeezed from the depths of her soul, low and suppressed.
“Xi Yun!!”
Seeing this scene, Feng Tao's face was filled with anxiety.
Qin Xiaogan slowly lowered his head, his eyes coldly looking down at the pitiful Xie Xiyun in the crater, his gaze as biting as a winter wind.
Then, Qin Xiaogan's right palm moved slightly, and a terrifying suction force madly emitted from his palm.
Under the pull of this suction, Feng Tao's body flew towards Qin Xiaogan at extreme speed.
Qin Xiaogan's face showed no change as he slowly opened his right hand and accurately gripped Feng Tao's neck like an eagle catching a chick.
His grip was extremely strong; his fingers felt as if they were cast from steel, squeezing Feng Tao until she could barely breathe.
Qin Xiaogan indifferently examined the deathly still Feng Tao for a moment.
Then, he slowly turned his head and cast his gaze toward Xie Xiyun in the crater.
The corners of Qin Xiaogan's mouth curved slightly into a playful smile.
“Xie Xiyun, tell me, how should I let her die?”
Xie Xiyun, who was trying to stand up in the crater, changed her expression upon hearing Qin Xiaogan's words.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and she almost stumbled and fell back into the crater.
“No... don't, Qin Xiaogan, let her go.”
Qin Xiaogan tilted his head and smiled gently. “No, I still prefer your arrogant look from before.”
“Recover yourself a bit.”
Xie Xiyun's face was ashen, her fingers tightly clawing at the ground.
Because she was using too much force, her fingertips had sunk into the ground, and her nails were beginning to turn white.
Soon, a trace of bright red blood slowly seeped out from her scratched fingertips.
The blood gradually soaked in, forming a small, shocking scarlet mark on the ground.
“How about I cut off her arms first? After all, they're an eyesore. What do you think?”
Qin Xiaogan spoke as if he were discussing an extremely ordinary matter with Xie Xiyun. His voice was exceptionally calm, without the slightest ripple, even carrying a bone-chilling indifference.
Xie Xiyun gritted her teeth and struggled with all her might to prop herself up with her hands, her face filled with panic.
“No...”
However, in that very instant,
“Squelch!” A heart-wrenching sound rang out.
Immediately, a fountain of scarlet blood sprayed out, splattering directly onto Xie Xiyun's exquisite face, instantly staining it red.
She subconsciously extended her tongue slightly and gently licked the blood on her face.
“So... so sweet.”
She murmured softly, her voice carrying a hint of confusion and shock.
Soon, Xie Xiyun seemed to snap out of her daze.
Her expression tightened, and she quickly raised her eyes, looking urgently toward Feng Tao.
Feng Tao's face was blank, her eyes hollow and lifeless.
The arms that should have been on her body were now gone, cruelly severed by Qin Xiaogan, leaving only a single, lonely leg still twitching randomly in the air.
Seeing this scene, Xie Xiyun felt a sharp pang in her heart.
Her voice shook uncontrollably: “What on earth do you want? If you want to kill her, then kill her! Why torture her!”
Hearing this, Qin Xiaogan expressionlessly set down the near-death Feng Tao in his hand.
His thin lips parted slightly: “Do you want me to let her go?”
Xie Xiyun's willow-leaf brows furrowed tightly, and an extremely ominous premonition surged in her heart.
She pursed her cherry-red lips and fixed her gaze on the wretched Feng Tao lying on the ground.
Then, she nodded heavily.
Seeing this, a smile curled on Qin Xiaogan's lips.
“Crawl through my crotch, and I might consider it.”
As soon as these words were spoken,
Whether it was Feng Tao on the brink of death or the heavily injured Xie Xiyun,
Both of their expressions froze in an instant, as if time had solidified at that moment.
“What!?”
Xie Xiyun's face instantly turned bright red, and anger surged into her heart like a tide.
She shouted angrily, “Qin Xiaogan, don't push people too far!!”
Xie Xiyun's voice trembled with rage, and flames of anger shot from her eyes, as if she wanted to burn Qin Xiaogan to ashes.
Qin Xiaogan's face instantly became incredibly cold, as if covered by a layer of frost.
Then, he raised his left foot and brought it down with precise ruthlessness, heartlessly crushing Feng Tao's only remaining leg.
“Ugh...”
“Ah—”
Feng Tao couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.
She could no longer endure this double torture of mind and body.
Feng Tao kept repeating under her breath,
“Kill me, Emperor Qin, I beg you to kill me, kill me...”
For the first time, she so desperately craved to embrace death—and perhaps, it was also the last time.
“Feng Tao!”
Seeing this, an indescribable pain surged in Xie Xiyun's heart, a pain that felt as if it were tearing her heart apart.
She widened her eyes and glared at Qin Xiaogan with eyes full of fury.
Then, Xie Xiyun gritted her silver teeth and forced two words out of her mouth with all her strength.
“I'll... crawl!”
