Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 72 Take Over



"Is this the right place?"

After surviving their first night in the wild, the Four Devils came to an unambiguous decision of finding a proper place to sleep. Not only were the nights cold but one of the girls had to be always awake in case their camp was discovered and they were forced to fight.

Over the twenty-four hours, they made a generous number of enemies, including both bandits and the Air Land Sects. They didn't qualify as bandits as they didn't follow any code. They simply robbed anyone that crossed ways with them, forcing them to either give them all of their treasures or leave their lives behind.

Naturally, no one surrendered without any battle, causing them to be exhausted after just ten encounters. It was a good harvest, but after they split the treasures across them four, it was nowhere near enough to sustain them. They needed to catch a bigger fish.

"It should be. The scenery looks exactly like he described," the flaming beauty Xiao Wen replied as she scanned their surroundings from the sky. "I doubt he would lie with my sword near his balls. Men are too afraid of losing their manhood."

After killing the last ground of bandits, the group of Four Devils, Xiao Wen, Wuying, Yi, and Princess Shan, left one scum alive, moving on to Xiao Wen's favorite.

Tortures.

With quick manipulation, they managed to get all the information from him, including the position of their hidden Bandit City. Taking over one of the bandit groups seemed like the most attractive option for them. As they couldn't visit any legit cities, due to fear of any Sects discovering them, they could only claim an illegal city for themselves.

They have been already flying for five hours already right after waking up, so all of the girls were tired, wanting to sit down and eat some proper food.

"It should be in between of those two mountains. There is a small passage there underneath the rock formation. Once we get close, the city should reveal itself," Wuying confirmed as she led them with a map open before keeping it into her Storage Ring. "Let's go."

Wuying's body was wrapped tightly with black leather armor and she carried her Blood Daggers on her sides, just like silver-haired Yi carried her own single sword on her back. In case they were attacked, they could quickly unleash the power of their blades. Although Wuying's armor gave her less protection, it allowed her to move like the wind, being extremely comfortable at the same time.

"Will you do it?" Princess Shan questioned as they approached the ground while her beautiful ice cold hair and light blue dress danced in the wind.

"Yeah, I'm the strongest when it comes to duels in close quarters," Wuying nodded confidently and even Princess Shan who was a second candidate to this title couldn't disagree.

The moment she began focusing on the mastery of her Ice Domain, Wuying, and her twin daggers overpowered Princess Shan in that area. Especially with her Shadow and Blood Arts, Princess Shan was willing to give Wuying this much. Now they were sisters both in arms and in love, so they no longer argued about such titles.

Xiao Wen and Yi nodded firmly, each of them having a different specialty they could use in battle.

The wind blew against the tree leaves when they landed in the middle of the road leading towards the passage. Everything looked so calm and even small birds greeted them with the melody of the forest. Naturally, they knew it was just a ploy, giving the passerby a fake sense of security.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Multiple arrows suddenly shot from both sides of the forest while shadows jumped out to the front and the back. There were ten hooded men with sharpened weapons on each side, ready to pounce on them.

Xiao Wen was already prepared, creating two fireballs in her palms.

Bang, bang!

She immediately teleported them to the sides and they exploded, covering them with flames while Qi Arrows broke from the shockwave. Walking out from the cloud of fire, they were like devils descending from hell, staring coldly at the men.

Just that alone was enough to intimidate the bandits.

"Y-you entered our territory! If you want to pass—" One of them tried to speak but Wuying snapped right away, cutting him off.

"Shut up and lead us to your Boss. We don't have time for your bullshit."

Huh?

The Bandits instantly got mad as multiple people walked out of the forest, aiming their Spirit Bows with new arrows ready to release. They outnumbered them by tens of times but the Four Devils didn't care for even a second, not showing any change in expression.

"Our Boss? Who do you think you are?" One of the bandits questioned angrily only to grunt, falling to the ground while coughing blood.

"Do you think we would walk here so calmly if we couldn't kill you all? Either you lead us to your Boss or we will walk in by ourselves but you won't see the sun anymore," Wuying threatened and tightened her fist.

Cough, cough!

"You have five seconds until your buddy dies. The choice is yours," Wuying added and began counting. "Five, four, three, two, on—"

"Okay, okay! Stop!" His friends quickly called out while lowering their weapons. "We will lead you to our Boss!"

Only then did Wuying release her fist. The coughing bandit only resumed breathing normally but his body was still in a critical state. His friends fed him healing pills but the effects were minimal.

"You almost killed him," they commented while frowning but no one dared to raise their voice anymore. How could they argue with her when Wuying almost killed without even moving a step?

"I wanted to kill him," Wuying replied with a shrug and pulled out a red pill that she threw in their direction "Here, it will heal his wings."

The bandits caught it instinctively but they hesitated.

"Stop wasting time, we have a schedule," Xiao Wen barked. "If we wanted to kill you all, we wouldn't need poison for that."

It was the best logic so they didn't hesitate anymore, popping the pill into the hurt bandit's mouth. As if he ate a miraculous panacea, his strength returned instantly as he stood up on his own.

"Lead us to your Boss. We have some business with him," Wuying repeated the order, and this time no one disagreed, knowing the fate clearly.

"Our Boss doesn't accept guests so he will be mad and order to attack. What kind of business would you make with him," the recovered Bandit questioned as he led the way, clearly learning some respect after getting hurt so easily.

Wuying didn't hide their objective, announcing it boldly.

"We will kill him and take over your Bandit Ground."
