They were no match to an opponent like Jiang Pengji, and they had the intention to withdraw because they wouldn’t be able to fight against her . Without hesitation, their heads were separated from their bodies .
There were dozens of dead bodies lying around Jiang Pengji . Without exception, they were all killed with only one strike . Some died from their throats being slashed open and others were decapitated . Their heads flew into the air and their blood splashed all over . Some of the heads were still partly attached to their necks; they weren’t going to come off entirely .
Compared to the heavy losses of the assassins, Jiang Pengji didn’t even have a scratch on her . There was sticky blood dripping from her blade nonstop .
“Let’s go! What are you afraid of? Let’s all go!” one of the “bandits” yelled at the others furiously . But his accomplices didn’t feel encouraged at all . Instead, they were more frightened .
They paused their forward steps and took a step backward . Their faces were full of confusion and fright . They were nearly scared to death . No one wanted to risk coming near her, even though they still had the preponderance in people .
Who would take the frontline? The ones who just did all became dead bodies lying on the ground . Their blood was still hot .
The longer the stalemate they were in, the more scared they were . The big swords in their hands wouldn’t bring them any sense of security at all .
Watching them act in such a way, Jiang Pengji couldn’t help but sneer at them . “You bunch of guys are as timid as mice . ”

If they left everything behind and focused on defeating her, she might take them seriously . She would even look up to them .
After all, no matter how excellent her martial skills were, she wouldn’t be able to dodge the swarm of blades coming towards her .
However, they flashed their fear to her just after a few dozen of their accomplices had their heads cut off and they attempted to retreat . People like them would always be “power level fives,” even if they had the most advanced laser weapons in their hands instead of plain swords . Jiang Pengji wouldn’t waste much time on slaughtering them .
Just because they showed the desire to retreat didn’t mean Jiang Pengji would do the same .
She walked closer to her enemies by stomping hard against the ground . She shortened the distance between them quickly .
In the “bandits’” eyes, it seemed like Jiang Pengji took off from the spot she was at and moved right in front of their faces in a second . She was crazy fast .
“Ghost!” A “bandit” was so terrified that he couldn’t help but scream that out . Before he got the next word out, he felt something cold against his throat and the next second something hot surged out of the opening . His brain stopped and everything he saw faded and turned to grey .
It was not a matched kill . But the one who had the advantage was not the “bandits,” who had the numbers, but Jiang Pengji, who was soaked with blood .

Cheng Cheng and his wife were stunned where they were standing . They thought it was going to be a firm death for them, but it turned out they could be snatched from the jaws of death .
Mrs . Cheng pressed her lips together and supported her injured husband on the side so they wouldn’t get involved in the fight . Cheng Cheng didn’t forget what Jiang Pengji said to him earlier . He grasped his wife’s hands hard as thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind .
“Husband…” Mrs . Cheng looked up to her husband and inquired about his thoughts with her eyes .
“Don’t worry . Let’s wait a little longer . ” He tapped the back of her hands to ease her anxiety .
While they were talking, Jiang Pengji had taken some more lives without hesitation . It seemed like she had taken a blood bath and it was impossible to tell the original color of her clothes . She was no different from a demon who stepped out of hell . This time, the “bandits” were truly scared to death . They couldn’t control their legs .
But they never forgot their mission . They didn’t have to do harm to Jiang Pengji if they were not able to, but they could kill Cheng Cheng anyway . If they didn’t, their families would be killed and the would never find their bodies .
With that realization, they decided to work together to stall Jiang Pengji and send the others to finish off Cheng Cheng and his wife .
“Husband!” Mrs . Cheng noticed the two people rushing out of the crowd . It was such an emergency that she had to stand up to block her husband .
Everything happened so fast . Cheng Cheng saw them, but his wounds stopped him from avoiding the sword . His last bit of energy could only help him stand up . When he realized what was happening, he quickly reacted to shove the enemies away . The two swords were almost at his head .
Cheng Cheng was so frightened and shouted, “Wife!”
However, neither him nor his wife, who had her eyes closed were waiting for the pain, got the swords they expected .
The huge swords stopped in the air and it seemed like there was a pause of time . The facial expressions on the two “bandits’” faces paused at the moment of ecstasy . They saw that Cheng Cheng and his wife were dead, but it only turned out to be an illusion .
“I told you, just come and fight however you want . It will be my loss if you can’t cross the line . ” Jiang Pengji’s sword was no longer in her hands . It seemed like that the two pausing “bandits” lives were taken by the “disappearing sword . ” Except the viewers in the streaming room, no one had any clue how she did that .
The two “bandits” didn’t stand abreast, or front and back . How did she finish them both with one strike?
Jiang Pengji had her back to the two “bandits” and she had her hands tied up by the other enemies . How did she do that?
Everyone was at an important juncture of life and death . They didn’t have much time to pay attention to that . From their current perspective, they weren’t able to see the whole picture . But the viewers in the streaming saw what exactly had happened in that moment very clearly .
Laosiji Lianmeng: “It’s so cool . I noticed that the sword curved when our host threw it . ”
Yin Yuejia Zhuge Qinmo: “Beautiful double kill!”
Da Zhuangzhu Furen: “I screamed out just now . My roommate really worried about me for a second . It’s so thrilling . ”
Yueye Huangye: “What our host just did made me fall in love with her . I really want to give you a whole pile of likes . ”
The viewers gave her a series of likes and Jiang Pengji was nearly drowned by all kinds of rewards from her viewers .
The System normally would have bugged her when she received such a big surge of rewards like that, but it remained weirdly silent like it didn’t exist anymore . No one understood, but Jiang Pengji was well aware why it reacted like that .
Kekou Kele: “Wait up, our host doesn’t have any weapon in her hands . What will she do???”
This bullet screen stood out and the viewers who sent all the likes to Jiang Pengji quivered at the idea .
Jiang Pengji had sneakily attacked the two “bandits” with her sword in order to save the lives of Mr . and Mrs . Cheng . She rescued Cheng Cheng and his wife from the dilemma but she trapped herself in a dead end . She no longer had possession of a weapon except for her own fists, while all the “bandits” surrounding her had big, sharp swords .
Cheng Cheng put his arms around his wife in fear . He spotted Jiang Pengji’s situation, moved his lips, but didn’t say a word to remind her .
