Chapter 25
Being Followed
Du Yue alighted from the car and stood by the side of the road, waiting for the van behind to approach. Not long after, the van stopped in front of her car. The door opened from the inside, and a few strong men came out.
These people were dressed in black clothes and shoes. They even had black masks and hats on their faces, and only their sneaky eyes were exposed.
The man in the lead walked toward Du Yue and sized her up with ill intentions.
Because he was wearing a mask, his voice was a little muffled and unclear. “Young lady, you’re quite bold to drive out alone at such a late hour!”
When she realized that she was being followed, she didn’t hurry back home. Instead, she dared to lure them to this desolate place.
Du Yue stood by the road and glanced at the man indifferently. She did not respond to him.
The man in the lead noticed that Du Yue did not take his group seriously and became even more displeased. His tone became even more unfriendly. “I’ll give you a chance. If you want to walk out of here alive, take us to your house and hand over all your supplies and money. Of course, you have to hand over this expensive off-road vehicle of yours too.
“As long as you’re willing to obediently hand over these worldly possessions, I can let you live!”
“Boss, why don’t we take this weak-looking little girl with us? It’s so dangerous for her to live alone!”
“That’s right. We’re guys who know how to treat women with tender affection. As long as this little girl follows us, she’ll get to live happily, right?”
“Anyway, she can’t live for long on her own, so it’s just as well she has some fun with us brothers!”
The few of them spoke all sorts of obscenities in front of Du Yue and even giggled with ill intentions.
Just as they let their guard down, Du Yue picked up the Tang sword that she had placed on the hood of the car engine. This Tang sword was more than one meter long. The blade was 70 centimeters long, five centimeters wide, and one centimeter thick. It weighed about five catties.
The dark wooden scabbard was inlaid with silver roses, giving it a deep and grand appearance. Just by looking at the scabbard, one could tell that this sword was of high quality.
Du Yue did not buy it only because of its low-profile yet gorgeous appearance, but also because of the exquisite quality of the sword.
Du Yue pulled out her sword and pointed it at the men opposite her. “If you guys have the time to fantasize, why don’t you think about who’s going to get beaten up first?”
The man who was called ‘Boss’ by everyone looked at the sword in Du Yue’s hand and heard her unkind threat. It was as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He laughed out loud. “Little girl, have you watched too many TV shows? Who are you trying to scare with this broken thing? I gave you a chance with good intentions, but you didn’t cherish it. Then don’t blame us for hitting a woman today!
“Attack together! Be quick!”
The leader of the group waved his hand, and the people behind him rushed toward Du Yue. Seeing the menacing appearance of the few people, Du Yue did not have a trace of fear. She stood firmly on the spot and waited for them to approach.
Du Yue had been practicing martial arts for many years. Her physical fitness was not something that ordinary people could match. In addition, she had already experienced an apocalyptic world once and had survived countless dangerous situations. Therefore, both her combat strength and experience gave her confidence.
She attacked the few of them, each of her moves fierce and aimed at their vital parts. None of her actions were redundant, nor were they just for show.
Wang Qiang and the others were just street gangsters who had never undergone special training. The moves they used in front of Du Yue were full of flaws, and it did not take long for them to be at a disadvantage.
Although the Tang sword in Du Yue’s hand was very heavy, her movements were not clumsy. Every time she moved, she could accurately hit Wang Qiang’s group with the sword in her hand.
Although these people had wrapped themselves up very tightly, it was only a layer of simple clothes. The clothes on their bodies were cut open without any effort, and blood flowed out instantly.
After fighting Du Yue for less than three minutes, Wang Qiang realized that they had been blind and provoked someone they should not have, so he immediately backed down.
“Heroine, we’re in the wrong here. We’re dogs who looked down on you and were blind enough to provoke you. Please be magnanimous and let us off! We promise we won’t do bad things again!”
Du Yue did not seem to hear Wang Qiang’s plea for mercy. Her hands did not slow down at all. A sword knew no mercy, and very quickly, it was in front of Wang Qiang.
