044 Can't kill

Fang Yuyang had not expected Brother Chen to be so ruthless as to use a woman as a human shield. Fortunately, though the move seemed vicious, it actually did not target any vital points. The woman was merely injured and her life was not in danger. Not just her, everyone attacked had been injured, with none able to avoid it.

Among these eight people, aside from the leading Brother Chen, the others were all ordinary people. The reason their group managed to safely arrive at this villa area was not because of their own strength, but luck; they had encountered an army relocation team and followed behind them, making it here without too much danger.

Their abilities were nothing special and their backgrounds were quite ordinary, even the vehicle they drove was one found abandoned on the road. After entering the villa area, they didn't dare to act rashly at first, always looking for a place to stay. Some houses were already full of people, whom they didn't dare provoke, so they chose the Fang Family's house.

When they first saw only Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin come out, they thought they had struck it lucky, until Fang Yuyang suddenly made a move, they then realized they had picked the wrong target. Brother Chen, depending on his status as a superpower user, resorted to a mix of threats and bribes to try to force Fang Yuyang into submission, but unexpectedly, he kicked an iron plate instead.

After striking, Brother Chen, worried Fang Yuyang would make another move, quickly said, "Wait! Don't forget, no one can kill within the Safe Zone!" Alarmed by Fang Yuyang's strength, his voice was very panicked.

Fang Yuyang was actually unaware of such a rule. This provision had been set by the military when they first entered the villa community with the survivors. This area, including the surrounding territory, had been designated as a temporary Safe Zone. For the stability of the Safe Zone, some hurriedly made rules were put in place, 'no killing within the Safe Zone' being one of them.

Fang Yuxin knew about it, but only from a dream she had; she hadn't had the chance to tell Fang Yuyang. However, after Brother Chen mentioned it, Fang Yuyang believed it to be true to a certain extent. He suddenly found himself in a difficult position; these eight were all tough characters, and both sides had fallen out. If he spared them, it would mean endless trouble later. But to kill them outright would probably cause issues with the military.

Seeing his difficulty, Fang Yuxin suggested, "Let's capture them first and then see."

Fang Yuyang nodded in agreement, ready to take action. Brother Chen, not expecting that they would still not give up after his words, his expression became fierce as he grabbed the woman just as before, using her as a shield, and hurried towards the car door to make his escape. The other injured individuals, startled at first, then clutching their wounds, rushed toward the vehicle.

Fang Yuyang unleashed another Wind Blade. Seeing this, the others became even more panicked, hastily dodging. However, this time the Wind Blade was not aimed at them, but at the vehicle's tires. Four "pfft" sounds were heard as the Wind Blade sliced long slits into all four tires facing Fang Yuyang. Air hissed out of the tires, and the car visibly sank.

With the tires sabotaged, they naturally couldn't escape by car. Brother Chen, seeing this, whipped his head around, his twisted face showing a touch of madness as he glared hatefully at Fang Yuyang. The others, realizing they couldn't flee, also looked towards Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin with hostility in their eyes. However, they were still ultimately intimidated by Fang Yuyang's power; though angry, they were more panicked.

Fang Yuxin gave a cold laugh, twisted her neck, and raised her hands in a defensive posture, her fingers spreading open and then quickly clenching into fists.

Brother Chen opened the car door, pulling out an iron rod, and said hatefully, "Grab whatever you can, let's all attack together!" Motivated by his command, the others scrambled to arm themselves. Fang Yuxin glanced down at the ground where an axe lay, its blade stained with blood, the very one that had been used to chop the lock moments before.

She stepped on the axe and then kicked it forcefully behind her, sending it through the gap beneath the gate and into the courtyard. By this time, the others had already grabbed weapons from the car. The two delicate and beautiful women were mere vase decorations; they were too scared to come down, huddling inside the car. The other five each armed themselves with weapons, be it iron rods, axes, or machetes. The only unlucky one had his weapon kicked away by Fang Yuxin.

Brother Chen gripped his iron rod tightly, not rushing over directly, but shouting loudly instead, "What are you all standing around for? Charge! Kill them, and this house is ours! If they don't die, we will!"

At first, those five hesitated, their gazes flickering with fear to rush forward. But Brother Chen's last sentence struck a chord; none of them wanted to die. Thus, their expressions hardened as they charged toward Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin with their weapons. The one without a weapon clenched his fists as well.

Five men—two charged at Fang Yuyang, but four rushed at Fang Yuxin, probably thinking she would be easier to bully as they targeted her.

Fang Yuxin instantly eyed the iron rod in one man's grip. The rod was as thick as an adult man's thumb, and as it swung through the air, it made a "whooshing" sound. A man with a machete charged at her first; she sidestepped and kicked him in the belly, sending him staggering back. Then she shifted her body and dodged the oncoming iron rod, seized the man's wrist with a twist, and snatched the rod from his hands.

The iron rod felt cold to touch, the rough texture grazing her palm and causing a slight sting. Fang Yuxin grasped the rod with both hands and swung, striking another man in the chest with a heavy thud. The man had already sustained injuries, and her strike hit his wound precisely. He screamed in agony and stumbled back, clutching his wound and staring at Fang Yuxin in horror, no longer daring to approach.

At this point, the remaining three looked at Fang Yuxin with a mix of fear and concern. The man she kicked in the belly, though luckier as the kick hadn't hit a wound, still felt a persistent, throbbing pain. The force of Fang Yuxin's kick was fierce; although not on par with an Enhancement Ability User's strength, it was almost as powerful as a strong man's blow.

Brother Chen was equally shocked. As an Enhancement Ability User himself, he immediately recognized the power behind Fang Yuxin's strike, and he regretted misjudging her. He had thought Fang Yuxin was just a pretty, ordinary girl, but to his surprise, she turned out to be a trained combatant!

The more he watched, the more frightened he became, and he turned to run. But in the next instant, his vision blurred, and he saw Fang Yuyang already blocking his path!

Fang Yuyang didn't rush to attack but squinted his eyes instead, looking toward the car that was approaching from a distance. Hearing the noise, Brother Chen realized someone was coming; a thought flashed through his mind, and he shouted loudly, "Take these two cars as your own. Please, I beg you, spare our lives!"

Fang Yuyang wasn't the least bit panicked by his false cries of thief; instead, he let out a cold laugh, his gaze at Brother Chen filled with disdain.

He had already recognized the approaching vehicle and naturally knew who was coming.
