CMWKSD -Chapter 204 Becoming Famous in a Single Battle

The place where they had stopped to rest was very flat.

No matter who appeared in the distance, they could spot them at a glance.

But the downside was just as obvious—there was nowhere to hide, not a single thing to serve as cover.

If the enemy’s numbers exceeded three hundred,

then they would become nothing more than meat stuffing in a dumpling.

“AO—AO—AO!!!”

Someone came charging straight toward them on horseback, waving a torch and brandishing blades, laughing obscenely as he rode.

Yellow sand mixed with icy wind swept in like an overwhelming tide.

There was a heavy, suffocating sense of an approaching storm.

Some civil officials were so frightened that they trembled slightly, unconsciously retreating backward.

But soon, everyone’s gaze was drawn to the figure standing at the very front—Jiu Yue.

She stood there, staring straight at the approaching mountain bandits.

Like a towering mountain, unmoving, holding the line.

As everyone looked at her, their fear inexplicably lessened.

Then—

Shua! Shua!

Jiu Yue crossed her arms and drew two curved blades from her waist.

The cold weapons gleamed with chilling light.

Between the blades’ reflections, only Jiu Yue’s slightly upturned, wicked smile could be seen.

She—

She was actually smiling!!!

Yet that smile alone made one’s heart instinctively seize with terror.

The sharp, biting wind whipped up the hem of Jiu Yue’s black robes.

“Burn.”

With that single command, dry grass piles all around them ignited one after another.

Before long, thick, rolling smoke spread in all directions with the cold wind.

The intense stench made many people present recall the bowl of medicinal soup from the afternoon.

And they really couldn’t be blamed for thinking of it.

It was just too foul.

Even now, there was still that feeling of stench lingering the moment one opened their mouth.

Ji Youqin, Ji Xiaoya, and Ji Xiaoyu had pinched Ji Yiqing’s and Ji Chaomian’s noses and poured it straight down their throats.

After that, everyone else followed suit—pinching noses and forcing it down, one by one.

The first person who had been force-fed, adhering to the principle of “sharing blessings and hardships alike,” immediately joined the nose-pinching brigade.

Now that smell suddenly resurfaced.

Everyone forgot their fear entirely.

Instead, they recalled the terror of being dominated by that medicinal soup.

“Ugh! What the hell is this? Why does it stink so bad?!”

Several men who reached the vicinity of the camp first gasped for breath—only to be instantly assaulted by the stench.

They bent forward on horseback and started retching violently.

Jiu Yue’s eyes turned sharp.

She raised her curved blades high.

“Kill!!!”

Everyone shuddered.

It felt as if the blood in their bodies suddenly boiled.

All the soldiers gripped their swords and spears, hands trembling slightly.

They served in the capital—when had they ever seen such a scene?

Enemies from all directions!

A direct, head-on slaughter!

With one glance—they saw Jiu Yue surge forward like an arrow released from the bow.

Her body leaned forward, both hands gripping the blades.

In a flash, she lunged before the few bandits who had arrived first.

Blade rose—head fell.

Pshhk!

Fresh blood sprayed violently across Jiu Yue’s face.

Looking again at the man on horseback—his body was still bent forward in a retching posture.

Only now, the head that should have been vomiting had already been severed.

It rolled on the ground several times, then was trampled by the horses charging in afterward.

An eyeball was crushed straight out.

Bandits: !!!

Soldiers: !!!

Civil officials: What happened? What happened?! It’s too far—we can’t see anything!

That single move by Jiu Yue—friend or foe alike felt goosebumps rise from their feet straight to their scalps, fear spiraling up into their brains.

Some bandits even dropped their weapons with a clatter.

And then—shua—

Jiu Yue harvested another head.

But thanks to Jiu Yue’s blood-boiling opening, everyone else seemed possessed by her spirit.

The soldiers roared, raising sabers and spears:

“KILL—AAAAAH!!!”

One bandit after another was sent straight to Jiu Yue by the horse-tripping ropes.

The moment they were tripped and hadn’t even gotten up yet—just as they lifted their heads—their necks grew hot.

And then the head was gone.

Bandits fell one after another before the horse-tripping ropes.

That medicinal smoke didn’t just weaken people—it weakened horses too.

Those behind immediately reined in their mounts.

The bandits were many.

But Jiu Yue’s side wasn’t lacking either.

After all, this involved so much silver—and Jiu Yue herself was present.

How could Emperor Fengyuan not dispatch three to five hundred soldiers?

When the dark mass of soldiers was surrounded from all sides, they clearly looked like the disadvantaged side.

But now— from within the encirclement, that dark mass gnawed outward instead.

Like a whirlwind, sweeping everything away in an instant.

Jiu Yue cut down gods who blocked her path, slaughtered Buddhas who stood in her way.

The way she chopped heads like watermelons—was both terrifying and blood-pumping at the same time!

When the killing reached its peak,

Jiu Yue laughed wildly, stabbing the rolling heads on the ground with a long spear.

On a single spear shaft, two or three heads were skewered together.

She raised it high, deliberately making sure the bandits behind could see it.

Coupled with her sinister laughter, the black clothes, the blood splattered across her face, the flames burning behind her, the robe hems ravaged by the raging wind—

…

The soldiers truly had to brainwash themselves while killing.

That’s our Commandery Princess!

That’s Great Qi’s Commandery Princess!

That’s the one protecting us!

Not a demon!

Not a rakshasa!

Not a devil here to kill us!

Wuwuwu—

Your Highness, please have mercy—killing is killing, but must you do it like this?

You’re even more terrifying than these bandits who came to rob silver and kill people!

If it were you, they wouldn’t even call you a bandit—they’d call you a God of Slaughter, or a ferocious outlaw!

The heavy darkness pressed down on the bandits’ hearts.

They had prepared everything.

They thought they were facing pampered young soldiers and a bunch of civil officials…

Those millions of taels of silver were already theirs for the taking.

Who knew a God of Slaughter would burst out from the middle?!

Some bandits on the outer edge grew cowardly and began retreating.

Jiu Yue, killing to the point of frenzy, casually grabbed a horse.

This area was already beyond the range of the medicinal smoke.

Even if there was any left, its effects were extremely weak.

The curved blades in Jiu Yue’s hands weren’t made with modern technology after all.

After chopping dozens of heads, several notches had already formed.

She mentally gave a bad review to whoever made these blades!!!

Dual-wielding curved blades was supposed to look so cool it made people’s legs go weak, alright?!

Jiu Yue casually picked up a long spear from the ground—still skewering a head.

She gripped it, then mounted with one hand!

Swinging it as she rode, she let out an excited howl.

“OHH—OHH—OHH!!!”

Everyone’s scalp instantly exploded.

That sound—came from Jiu Yue?!

One person, yet it was as if thousands of troops had appeared.

The bandits chased by her—their body hair stood on end, goosebumps erupting all over…

It felt like what was chasing them wasn’t a person.

But a ghost.

One after another, they rode for their lives, not daring to look back.

Afraid that the moment they turned their heads—their heads would be gone.

Of course—not looking back didn’t help much either.

Jiu Yue swung the long spear with ferocious force.

One thrust—one bandit off his horse.

Then the soldiers following behind her watched, baring their teeth, as Jiu Yue held the reins with one hand.

The horse’s front hooves reared high—then came down with a heavy stomp.

Crack crack.

Bones shattered.

What was crushed might be a face, a hand, a foot, a leg…

Not a single person could escape Jiu Yue’s pursuit with their body intact!

The intimidation was overwhelming.

By the end, the situation reversed—from bandits chasing them down to kill, to a group of civil officials chasing behind shouting: “We’re still here! We’re still here!!!”

Everyone had completely lost themselves in the slaughter.
