Chapter 107: The Mad Fugitive
Chapter 107: The Mad Fugitive
Qing Yin, who had been pinned down and cornered, was even considering giving up in fear of the mobsters from the Liu Hun Jie.
However, at that moment, Ye Cheng's voice echoed from a distance.
In that instant, Qing Yin's mind flashed back to her older sister, Togure Yuyu, and her initial motivation for becoming a Shinigami.
Her gentle and timid sister had now become the Vice-Captain of the Fourth Division. Had she also experienced similar situations? Qing Yin had never shared these thoughts with her kind and soft-hearted sister. It was ridiculous that she had always seen her sister Yuyu as someone she needed to protect, but in the end, it was she who had been the ignorant one, always in need of protection.
"Ding—!"
A scythe that was about to strike Qing Yin was blocked by her Zanpakuto, which she held horizontally.
When Qing Yin lifted her head again, her eyes were filled with newfound determination and confidence, completely erasing the previous hesitation and fear.
Before the mobster with the scythe could react, he felt a sudden intense pain in his abdomen. A small-sized woman's straw sandal had sunk into his stomach, and with a gust of wind, he was sent flying.
"Thunder Strike Four!"
After kicking away the mobster who had just attempted to kill her, Qing Yin didn't stop there. She extended her other hand, the one without the sword.
In the next moment, spiritual pressure gathered at her fingertips, and a white lightning bolt, as thick as a thumb, shot out from her index finger, piercing the mobster's heart with pinpoint accuracy.
This sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.
Especially the ten or so mobsters who had previously fought Qing Yin, they didn't understand what had happened. Why did Qing Yin seem so different from before?
"I will no longer be lost! Just as Brother Ye Cheng said, if we choose to grasp the sword in our hands, then even if it's not for ourselves, we must fight for those who are important to us!
You thugs must have harmed the important people of many others too, right?
For scum like you, there's no need for any mercy!"
The tide of battle had turned! Compared to before, Qing Yin now had a reason to wield her sword.
"When the sword in your hand is imbued with conviction, the strikes you deliver will be faster and stronger!"
Qing Yin had always possessed the strength to suppress these mobsters, but her previous disadvantage was merely due to her lack of combat experience and her own inner confusion.
Now that she had found her reason to fight and had drawn first blood, she underwent a transformation, like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
"No way, this woman has gone crazy. She's like a completely different person compared to just a moment ago!"
The mobsters from Liu Hun Jie had intimidated Qing Yin with their aggressive demeanor, as she had little experience with such situations.
But once Qing Yin gathered her resolve and fully unleashed her abilities, these ordinary mobsters were no match for her.
As Qing Yin knocked down one mobster after another, the previously fierce-looking thugs began to show signs of fear.
This is human nature; fearing death is an innate instinct. Perhaps there are some who truly fear nothing, but such individuals are few and far between.
Qing Yin's initial weakness had allowed these thugs to act arrogantly and bully her.
But now that Qing Yin had displayed her formidable strength and cut down her companions one by one, the so-called "fugitives" naturally began to show signs of cowardice.
They were outlaws, that much was true, but being outlaws didn't mean they lacked brains.
There was no issue with fighting to the death, but they needed to see some chance of victory, rather than recklessly rushing to their deaths like they were doing now.
Of the original ten companions, some had been taken out by the female Shinigami, while others were subdued by the "Ash Rope," leaving only two thugs, who were now showing signs of fear and even preparing to flee.
Just as they were about to make their escape, a voice suddenly echoed from ahead of them.
The figure that appeared was none other than their gang leader.
The two thugs initially thought their boss had come to rescue them, and their faces lit up with excitement.
"Boss, that woman is too strong. We're no match for her. Maybe we should..."
Before the underling could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a searing pain in his chest. When he looked down, he was shocked to see a long sword piercing through his chest.
And the person who had struck the blow was not one of the Shinigami, but their own boss, whom they had sworn brotherhood with.
The other thug, witnessing this scene, was terrified beyond belief. He immediately turned and tried to flee in the opposite direction.
But it was futile. The middle-aged man who had just killed one of his underlings now wore a cruelly cold smile. With a swift step, he caught up to the other underling.
A silver trail was left in the air, and a fountain of blood erupted as a lifeless head flew into the sky.
The gang leader, now splattered with blood, didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, he seemed to relish the feeling of slaughter and hunting.
"Have you gone mad? They were your underlings, and you just killed them like that!"
Although she had just experienced a baptism of blood and killing, Qing Yin had transformed from a novice into a qualified Shinigami.
But witnessing this scene before her eyes still shocked her greatly.
Evidently, having grown up in a sheltered environment, she had seen ruthless people before, but this was the first time she encountered someone so insanely ruthless.
"I, Hei Lang, don't need such cowardly underlings. From the moment they decided to desert, they ceased to be my followers.
It's better for them to die by my hand than yours. This is my way of honoring our fallen brothers."
Hei Lang, the gang leader, looked at Qing Yin and showed no fear despite her demonstrated strength. Instead, he seemed excited.
"Although you're a woman, you seem to have more backbone than the Shinigami I killed earlier.
That Shinigami, when I shattered his bones, he was begging for mercy, crying and urinating. I hope you can make this more exciting!"
As he spoke, Hei Lang, the gang leader, drew his sword and charged straight at Qing Yin.
He didn't know how to use Shunpo, but his displayed speed was impressive. Clearly, this man named Hei Lang was not on the same level as the previous opponent.
"Clang!"
A metallic clash echoed through the alley as Qing Yin successfully blocked Hei Lang's charging slash.
However, men naturally had an advantage over women in terms of strength. Qing Yin, at a disadvantage, was pushed back several steps from the impact!
