Chapter 415 Forgetful Xin Yan
Chapter 415 Forgetful Xin Yan
"argh!!" the guards screamed in pain, clutching their heads. unlike the young man, their pain did not abate quickly, lingering for a while before finally subsiding.
'there is no mistaking it; she is an expert. even i cannot sense her cultivation level.' the middle-aged man started trembling in his boots after witnessing the small display of power from xin yan.
"what happened here?" under the oppressive aura of the chief and his sharp glare, one of the guards cracked and started to blabber everything that had happened, including how the old man gave the order to throw the woman to the wolves to save themselves.
hearing the guard ratting him out, the old man's face darkened. he wanted to kill the guard, but he was too afraid to make a move in front of the chief.
*bang!*
when the guard stopped explaining, the chief's aura exploded, causing them to fall to their knees.
"you!! trash like you have no right to become a guard!" his enraged voice scared the guards. with a snort, the chief turned towards the old man who was still somehow standing on his feet. "and you!"
"to think an old man like you would be so treacherous. throwing the life of one of our own people to save yourself."
"i... i did this to save the rest of the people in the settlement!!" the old man tried to defend himself by coming up with an excuse.
"tell that to yourself. just pray that you don't die at that expert's hands before i deal with you!" chief vel scoffed at the old man, not believing him.
"chief! you have to protect me! i will take any punishment but don't let that woman kill me!" the old man fell to chief vel's feet, begging for his life. from what he could see, the mysterious woman favored the woman he discarded to die. he did not know what she would do to him.
chief vel frowned at seeing an old man kneeling at his feet. even though what he did was unforgivable, vel did not have the heart to see someone who had been a resident of the settlement longer than him die.
"greetings, senior! i am called vel, chief of the village, and as you said, i am not a monk." chief vel spoke through gritted teeth. he tried to appear approachable, but being reminded of his bald head always angered him.
xin yan nodded her head without saying anything. from the corner of her eye, she saw the woman she had just saved looking pale as if she had seen a ghost and averted her eyes.
following where she was looking, xin yan glanced past the chief and saw the guards trembling in their place.
seeing the woman who had just massacred the beasts without even breaking a sweat looking in their direction made them sweat in fear. feeling a piercing gaze on their bodies, the guards silently started praying for their lives.
"oh, looks like i forgot something." xin yan suddenly spoke up, catching everyone's attention. when the chief followed her gaze, his eyes widened when he saw that she was looking at the old man.
he opened his mouth to speak, but before words could even come out, xin yan raised her hand and waved two fingers in the air.
*thud!*

hearing the damp sound of something striking the ground, the guards slowly turned their heads and saw the headless body of the old man still standing.
*splurt!!*
blood flushed out of the neck and splashed all over them. in their fear, all the guards froze. they could not move, they could not breathe. all they could do was watch the body fall to the ground with a horrified look on their faces.
*thud!*
