Transmigrated as a Stepmother: Time to Bring the Family to Prosper! Chapter 431: Collect the Corpses

Before absolute power, all tricks are illusions.

Moreover, Qin Yao herself had ample combat experience. Whether it was poisonous powder or sinister hidden weapons, she could detect it with just a blink of an eye. Then she would kick a small stone off the road, fiercely shooting it forward!

The small stone, empowered by speed and force, pierced the opponent’s neck like a high-speed bullet, creating a bloody hole.

At the sa ti, the knife in her hand swiftly harvested its targets.

Power and speed coexisted within her, as though she was a spinning steel gyro amid the scene, bringing death upon contact.

The sound of blood splattering blared consecutively. No one saw her movents clearly, yet the knife already stuck between the bone gaps. As agony surged, the sound of neck bones cracking could be heard distinctly.

After that, it seed like witnessing the sight of hell.

With a crisp "crack," the knife stuck in the bone suddenly could not withstand her ferocity and broke.

The remaining three assassins, seeing this, were both terrified and ecstatic, thinking they finally found her flaw.

The three n charged at Qin Yao from three directions, roaring as they raised their knives.

Qin Yao disdainfully flicked the blood that splattered onto her left hand, wielding the short broken blade’s hilt with her right hand. Her body agilely shifted, stepping back to the right side assassin’s back, and stabbed him!

"Ah!!!"

A scream erupted as the assassin, stabbed in the back of his neck, personally attested to the pain of a dull knife cutting flesh.

The pain was so intense that he died right away.

The remaining two assassins watched helplessly as their comrade’s neck was pried open by the dull knife, gasping in shared terror.

At the sa ti, it beca even clearer that if this violent woman ahead didn’t die, their fate was certainly dood.

The two exchanged a glance, mobilizing all their strength for a full-force strike!

Yet, despite lacking a weapon, Qin Yao did not evade but precisely caught the knife’s back with her bare hands.

The overpowering force transmitted through the blade to the two assassins, who felt profoundly shocked.

How could anyone in this world be as heavy as a mountain!

Their wrists could not withstand such pressure, letting go of the knife handle.

At that mont, Qin Yao took advantage of the situation, snatching the two knives. The blades flew past her underarm as she gripped the handles once more.

But this ti, it was Qin Yao holding the handles, not the assassins whose eyes were wide with shock.

Qin Yao gripped the handles, took a big step back, aiming with fury, and hurled them!

The two knives twirled in the air, precisely hitting the two n’s chests, instantly passing through their bodies, leaving two rapidly lifeless corpses rigidly standing where they were.

The knives hit the hard sandy ground with two "thud, thud," and their blood-drenched handles quivered before coming to a stop.

Old Huang, standing by the roadside, suddenly felt the ground shake fiercely beneath him, scaring him with wide eyes. The massive horse eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.

The ground was strewn with blood splatters and bodies, a scene of utter devastation.

Qin Yao flicked her head, casting aside disheveled strands of hair, glancing at her bloodied hand, emitting an even more intense aura.

She slid down the steep slope, arriving at the riverside to wash her hands. As she passed the grass, a nest of rabbits halted their movents with red eyes, trembling in fear.

Until the human did not regard them, directly walking down to the riverbank, did the frightened rabbits quickly hide in their burrows.

Yin Le, who was drugged and unconscious, slowly awoke on horseback, lifting her head... instantly holding her breath, her brain rapidly deprived of oxygen, fainting once more.

Earlier, she was drugged asleep, this ti scared into unconsciousness.

Qin Yao returned after washing her hands, noticing her two empty hands, the knife was gone.

Previously Song Zhang said he would give her a good bow, yet she has not received it. Her other weapon was lost because of his stupid task.

Glancing at Old Huang, his neck was chafed into a deep blood mark by the reins, causing Qin Yao’s heart to tighten.

The bloody scented ’cri scene’ before her couldn’t be worse.

To reach the county governnt swiftly, Qin Yao still had to have poor Old Huang continue dragging her and Yin Le.

Fortunately, Old Huang was a resilient old horse, until delivering his owner to the destination, before softly lying down at the county governnt’s entrance to rest.

Yin Le woke up midway, learning from Qin Yao that the assassins were actually targeting her. Only then did she realize how terrifying Beauty Pan’s influence was.

She dared not imagine, had Qin Yao not reached Xinghua Village last night, but those assassins, what would have been her fate at this mont.

"Sister Qin, you saved twice, I really don’t know how to repay you, should I beco your maid and attend to you?" Yin Le sincerely said.

"No!"

Qin Yao rejected plainly and warned her to quickly stop such dangerous thoughts.

Yin Le: "Then, how do you want to repay you?"

If she wanted her to sell art to earn money for her, that, that would be acceptable...

"I don’t need your repaynt." Qin Yao once again rejected flatly.

Fearing that Yin Le didn’t understand, she added: "I saved you not because I wanted to save you, it’s because of a deal with soone else. So saving you has nothing to do with you."

Yin Le frowned in confusion, but she visibly saved her!

Qin Yao knocked on the county governnt’s door, the heavy "thump thump thump" resonating through the office as though attacked by a black bear.

It was already dusk, nightfall was imminent.

The county governnt officers were already off work, and there was no one guarding the entrance.

After knocking for a while, a voice of anger ca from inside.

"Who is it! Knocking at night! The county governnt’s door is not for knocking..."

The words had not finished when the door opened, revealing Qin Yao’s stern face. The governnt official hesitated, in that instant his mind inadvertently crossed a hundred brutal ways to die.

Shuddering fiercely, without greeting, the governnt official turned to run toward the county governnt’s backyard.

While running, he shouted: "Sir! Sir! Miss Qin is here!"

The governnt office’s door was open, Qin Yao pushed it and entered.

Yin Le followed closely, nervously examining the place she had never been but once thought of coming.

Like a normal household courtyard, only the hall was bigger, there were more clubs and tokens inside.

When the two reached the hall, Song Zhang and County Magistrate hurriedly arrived.

Both still carried the aroma of als, clearly they were dining just now.

Though it’s late, they hadn’t gone ho from the county governnt, showing dedication.

County Magistrate imdiately noticed the bloodstains on Qin Yao’s clothes, intuition told him sothing bad had happened.

Sure enough, upon eting, before introducing the girl she brought, she urged them:

"Quickly send a team to collect bodies outside Qingshui Town. I encountered mountain bandits on the way, fought fiercely with them to escape."

Song Zhang’s expression tightened, hastily asking: "Are you alright?"

Qin Yao seriously nodded, "I am alright, my knife broke, horse injured, and I am hungry."
