Chapter 464: Next Mission - Revenge
Chapter 464: Next Mission - Revenge
This is an ordinary life journey, without magnificent ups and downs, nor earth-shattering events. However, ordinary life is also a different kind of happiness.
After experiencing such a life, Zhou Leng felt extremely peaceful and satisfied. He returned to the workshop with an unusually peaceful mood, as if everything had become so simple and pure.
Xiao Ding floated quietly beside Zhou Leng, silently watching the words "Mission Completed" on the projection. That line of words also witnessed the end of this life.
Then they saw Wang Shancheng bow sincerely, and then teleport his soul without hesitation.
Each of them stood there quietly with their own tripod, without speaking for a long time. They seemed to be recalling this simple life and thinking about its meaning and value.
Zhou Leng came back to his senses and looked at the next task.
Client’s name: Su Yao.
Client’s gender: Female.
Occupation before death: Swordsman.
Cause of death: A sword to the throat.
Age at death: 30 years old.
The client's wish: to take revenge and kill the enemy.
Zhou Leng slowly opened her eyes, and the scene before her made her heart tighten. The sky was covered with thick clouds, without a single ray of sunlight, and the whole world seemed gray, depressing and dull.
She looked down at her body and felt a damp sensation underneath her. She realized that she was half immersed in the cold river water! The water soaked her clothes and made her feel cold.
There seemed to be the sound of gurgling water coming to my ears, and the sound was particularly clear in this quiet environment.
Zhou Leng endured the severe pain from all parts of her body and struggled to sit up. Every movement seemed to be a struggle against the pain all over her body. Her meridians seemed to be pierced by countless fine needles at the same time, and the pain was unbearable.
When she finally sat up, she saw that her clothes were stained with blood, which was shocking. The memory in her mind told her that the Su family was now exterminated, and the day after she escaped, she had no choice but to jump into the river after her internal energy was exhausted. Now she was washed to an unknown shore by the river.
The matter is actually very simple and clear. The Four Seas Alliance has always been jointly managed by three families, and the Su family where Su Yao belongs is one of the three families. However, last year, the Yuchi family suddenly had an internal conflict, which led to the disintegration of the entire family and greatly weakened its power in the alliance.
In comparison, the Cui family was originally the most powerful of the three families. Now that the Yuchi family was weak, the Cui family took the opportunity to attack the Su family. Facing the siege of the Cui family, although the Su family members fought hard, they were ultimately unable to compete with them. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Su family members had to flee for their lives in order to survive.
Unfortunately, Su Yao fell into a river during her escape and drifted along the river. In her previous life, Su Yao was unconscious and was rescued by a passing hunter. After recuperating in the hunter's house and restoring her skills, she began to live in hiding. She went out secretly many times to inquire, and the result was that the Su family, as everyone in the world knew, was wiped out by a group of masters. The clan leader Su Changwu and his wife Li Qing died on the spot, and the whereabouts of the three beauties and one hero of the Su family were unknown.
In order to wipe out the roots of the Su family, the Cui family has never stopped searching for the survivors of the Su family for many years.
Five years passed in a flash. During these five years, Su Yao practiced martial arts day and night, and finally achieved great success. She resolutely embarked on the road of revenge towards the Cui family.
However, when Su Yao finally arrived at Cui's house, she was stunned by the scene in front of her - her younger sister Su Meng actually married the son of her enemy and had a child!
This sudden attack made Su Yao furious, her teeth chattered, her eyes were full of anger. She couldn't accept this fact, she glared at Su Meng, the sword in her hand flashed coldly in the sun, and the killing intent in her heart became stronger.
Su Meng knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake to Su Yao with tears in his eyes.
Su Yao saw her sister was so distracted, and suddenly, a sword light came from behind her. Su Yao was startled, and it was too late to dodge.
The sword light was like lightning, instantly piercing Su Yao's throat.
Su Yao widened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. Her body slowly fell down, and the blood stained the ground red.
After her death, Su Yao was really angry. She hated herself for being soft-hearted and being attacked. She didn't hurt the other party and lost his life. She was angry that her younger sister ignored the blood feud of the Su family and devoted herself to the son of her enemy. So she exchanged souls. This time, she didn't care who was in front of her. Her sword was only for revenge.
Zhou Leng's limbs seemed to have been drained of all their strength. Every time they touched the ground, she felt a sharp pain, but she gritted her teeth and crawled forward desperately.
Sweat slid down her forehead, blurring her vision. When her body was completely out of the water, Zhou Leng lay on the ground with a sense of relief, not wanting to move at all. Her breathing was rapid and heavy, as if all the strength in her body had been exhausted in the struggle just now.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Leng heard a slight sound of footsteps approaching from afar. She raised her head with difficulty and saw a vague figure walking from a distance. It should be the hunter who saved Su Yao in the previous life. She closed her eyes slightly and pretended to be unconscious.
The hunter walked up to Zhou Leng and looked at her attire, then looked at the sword not far away. He stepped forward and used his hands to push away the hair that was blocking her face. He originally planned to mind his own business, but after some hesitation, he finally carried the person on his shoulders effortlessly.
The hunter's steps were unusually steady. He carried Zhou Leng on his back and walked step by step into the depths of the forest.
The shadows of trees flashed before Zhou Leng's eyes like ghosts, and the rustling of leaves in the wind was in her ears. Her body became heavier and heavier, as if being dragged by an invisible force and slowly sinking. However, despite her gradually blurred consciousness, the hidden weapon in her hand seemed to be integrated with her body, and was held tightly without any looseness.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Leng was finally placed on a wooden bed. The bed board felt a bit hard, and when there was no one else around her, she finally relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, the first thing she felt was the warm blanket wrapping around her body. She slowly opened her eyes and adjusted to the darkness around her. On the wooden couch not far away, she heard a man's even breathing. Zhou Leng judged that it should be midnight.
Zhou Leng, who had gotten some rest, ignored the injuries on her body. She sat down slowly with her five hearts facing upwards. Her original body's internal energy and mental skills were excellent, and coupled with her original body's good aptitude, Zhou Leng was able to do two things at once. One was to continue practicing according to her original body's internal energy and mental skills, and the other was to try to communicate with the vitality of heaven and earth and begin to practice Taoism.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, before the hunter woke up, Zhou Leng stopped practicing. In just one night, he just suppressed his injuries and recovered some of his skills to barely protect himself.
