Chapter 2626

Moreover, they had over twenty men, plus four adjutants, so dealing with Zhao Chi, a young man, and two delicate women felt like child's play to them.

Shopkeeper Wanyan hurriedly urged, "Lord Yuan, Lord Yuan, my sincerest apologies—there must be some misunderstanding. I have a generous gift here; I hope you'll give me a chance."

The moment they heard the words "generous gift," the soldiers immediately slowed their pace.

All of them wordlessly waited for Yuan Ze's next order.

Zhao Chi said, "Wanyan, this is none of your business. Step back a bit."

Shopkeeper Wanyan said anxiously, "Oh dear, just stop talking. Why on earth did Young Lady Zhao Si send you? You're too young and don't understand anything—just shut your mouth and listen to me."

Shopkeeper Wanyan was nearly in tears.

But Zhao Chi knew she was only worried about him, which was why she spoke that way.

Zhao Chi paid Shopkeeper Wanyan no more attention and directly activated two short-duration energy points.

Two streams of light burrowed into Tang Ruan and Qi Yue's bodies, and the two women simultaneously let out soft sighs.

Zhao Chi commanded in a deep voice:

"Qi Yue, the surrounding soldiers are yours. Knock them all far away. Don't kill them—but if they do die, it doesn't matter.

"Tang Ruan, Yuan Ze is yours. In a bit, cripple his four limbs and tear his mouth off. I'm pulling teeth!

"Don't use weapons for now—use fists. Anyone who dares draw a weapon, kill them on the spot.

"Wait for my order before acting!"

"Yes!!" Tang Ruan and Qi Yue answered in unison.

Yuan Ze snarled viciously, "What are you waiting for? Tie them up! If those two sluts dare move a muscle, cut them down!"

The soldiers closed in once more.

Zhao Chi snorted, "Go!"

Boom! Boom!

At his command, the wooden floor let out two sharp, tremendous cracks.

Like long nails being hammered into wood.

The slender heels of high-heeled shoes punched deep, narrow holes into the wooden floor.

Tang Ruan and Qi Yue vanished.

Of course they hadn't truly vanished—their speed was simply too fast; the eye could no longer track their charging figures.

One could only hear the rapid-fire patter of their shoe soles striking the floor.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

The soldiers hadn't reacted at all.

They only felt a wave of rich fragrance rushing toward them, and the next instant saw a pink fist streaking with afterimages hurtling at them.

The fist looked soft and tender, yet carried tremendous force.

The next moment, dull metallic thuds filled the entire cavernous merchant hall.

Thud thud thud thud thud thud!

The sounds were accompanied by crisp cracking of bones.

Crack crack crack crack crack crack!

Over twenty iron-armored soldiers surrounding them were sent flying one after another.

Their bodies bent violently backward as they flew, limbs and head stretched forward, chestplates caved inward.

"Oof!"

"Argh!!"

"Holy shit…"

"Ugh—"

"Ah—ahhhh!"

Without exception, all twenty-plus soldiers were sent flying by a single punch, landing several meters away.

Mouthfuls of fresh blood sprayed out; the entire hall reeked of blood.

Qi Yue was a speed-type.

She also looked quiet and gentle, like a soft, beautiful personal secretary.

But her strength was a full 9 points, and under Bliss Frenzy it even reached 11.

One punch really could kill a cow.

And although she now appeared empty-handed, her hands were actually equipped with extremely heavy Maiden Gauntlets—thick steel armor wrapped around her fists, truly steel fists like sledgehammers.

Steel fists in the truest sense.

If she truly struck with full force, killing these steel-armored soldiers would be no problem.

But Zhao Chi already said to avoid killing if possible, so Qi Yue naturally only used half her strength, sending them flying.

"Waaa—"

"Ugh—"

"Bleeeh ugh!"

After spitting blood came violent nausea.

Qi Yue's punch was no different from a giant hammer's blow.

The soldiers' stomachs were violently shaken; they all began retching uncontrollably.

The entire scene was utter chaos.

Yuan Ze was terrified!

He counted as quick to react.

After all, he was a lord, and still had some strength.

But no matter how strong, it was hard to compare with Tang Ruan after her stats were enhanced.

Tang Ruan's speed wasn't as fast as Qi Yue's, but with the Blissful Berserk boost, her speed still reached 10 points.

And her strength also reached 11 points.

She had only one target, and that was Yuan Ze.

Yuan Ze instinctively raised his blade to slash upward.

But Tang Ruan had no intention of dodging at all, taking the slash head-on with her face.

Boom!

The enchanted steel blade struck her face, yet it was like hitting a steel plate.

Tang Ruan was completely unharmed, while Yuan Ze's wrist was jolted with such severe pain that he nearly couldn't keep hold of his blade.

"Holy shit…"

Yuan Ze's mind went blank in an instant.

Tang Ruan gave a cold laugh and reached out her hand.

Her slender white fingers were like hydraulic steel pliers, tightly clamping Yuan Ze's right arm, and with a forceful twist.

Crack!

"Aaaaaah!!!!"

Yuan Ze's right arm was completely twisted off.

But Tang Ruan didn't stop, reaching again for Yuan Ze's left hand.

Crack!

"Owow ow fuck ow!"

Under the agony, Chen Ze howled in pain while stumbling back in panic.

His eyes full of terror, he had actually lost his fighting spirit.

This was a routed soldier.

Even with strength, he couldn't bring it out anymore.

Although he wanted to run, he suddenly felt both ankles become very painful.

The next second.

He was lifted up.

Tang Ruan's two hands each gripped one of Yuan Ze's ankles, then forcefully folded them downward.

Crack crack!

Both knees folded forward from the front.
