Number Five was a bit caught off-guard by Mira's sudden attack, but it was only for a split second. Before Mira's scythe could cut him in half, he blocked the hit.
'Heavy!' Number Five thought as he blocked her attack. He couldn't believe that he, someone at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm, would be pushed back by someone so far below him in strength.
Albeit he wasn't pushed back much, it was still more than enough for him to think that maybe their target was more than meets the eye.
The others didn't feel the need to sit around and watch, so while Mira was focused on Number Five, they decided to attack.
*Swoosh**Swoosh**Swoosh**Swoosh*
Their swords came crashing down on Mira's position, but Mira had already jumped out of the way and began charging at Number Four.
Number Four wasn't expecting an attack from Mira as he was also preparing an attack, so he was caught off guard by her sudden aggressiveness.
However, before Mira's blade could reach him, it was blocked by Number Two, who suddenly appeared in front of Number Four.
"Pay attention! Our opponent is stronger and more skilled than we originally thought!" Number Two warned before counterattacking.
More and more flames swirled around Number Two's sword, and a split second later, he swung his sword vertically, causing flames to shoot out the end of his sword, cutting through the air and the ground in Mira's direction.
The strike was fast, much faster than Mira, but somehow, the girl seemed to be able to predict his action and moved out of the way before it could even reach her.
Number Two was surprised that his attack was missed, but that didn't stop him from attacking again.
Unfortunately, his attack caused their team to be slightly split up as the weaker members had to dodge so they wouldn't be caught up in the flames.
However, they were quite used to this as they've fought together as a group on more than one occasion. So, their attacks didn't slow down at all.
Meanwhile, Number One was watching from the sidelines, trying to find a way to capture Mira alive and without too many injuries.
'Damn that fucking old man. How are we supposed to capture this bitch without taking a few limbs? It's only been a few exchanges, but I can see she's much stronger than we initially thought. Was she hiding her power? Did she know we were watching this entire time? Is she even at Stage 1 of the Core Formation Realm? How strong is she, really? Ugh! Fuck! This would be so much easier if we could kill her!' Number one complained inwardly.
Their group, no, their Sect in general, isn't used to capture missions. Their name is the Crimson Slayer Sect for a reason; it's because they always kill their targets.
Missions like this, where they are supposed to capture a person, especially someone as annoying as Mira, is not their forte. It's even harder to do so when trying to make sure they don't hurt her too badly.
Number one was the most concerned about this as he's not one known for holding back.
As he was analyzing Mira, the girl was also repeatedly glancing at him.
Seeing this, Number One felt a little insulted as it proved to him that she wasn't worried about the others. The only person she was worried about was him!
'ARGH! Fuck it! Let's just get this over with! If she dies, she dies!' Number One screamed internally before making his move.
However, before he could even do anything, it seemed like Mira suddenly got a boost of power and immediately switched her attention to Number Five.
Before anyone could do anything, Mira had already appeared next to Number Five and cleaved her scythe through his heart!
Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events, and while they felt a little bad that their teammate died, they weren't that close, to begin with. So, the death of their teammate didn't hurt them emotionally, but it did bring down their overall combat power and morale.
But that wasn't the end. Mira didn't simply stop to remove her scythe from Number Five's body. No, she kept her momentum going, slicing through his body before moving on to her next target.
"This fucking bitch! Alright, that's it! Screw the mission! I'm going to kill this little fox!" Number Three yelled, and the others nodded. Even Number One started to feel things might get out of hand if they let this go on.
Either they end things right here and now, or they escape, but knowing their Sect and who gave them the mission, escaping is essentially killing themselves.
So, rather than run away and face certain death, they'd rather kill Mira now and go back with her body to ask for forgiveness. That way, at least, they have a chance at living. Capturing her alive can only be considered a bonus at this point.
"Change of plans, everyone! We're going for the kill!" Number One shouted.
The atmosphere changed as soon as those words left his mouth as the surrounding area was filled with killing intent.
Facing this dense killing intent, Mira was completely unbothered by it.
She even chuckled lightly, as if she found their attempts to scare her cute.
"Hehe~ That's it? How cute. If you want to scare me, you'll have to try a bit harder. But what can I expect from someone else's hunting dogs? Well, I suppose I should thank your owner for sending you to me. I was really in need of a few practice dummies. Hahaha~!"
Mira laughed as she continued twirling her scythe, building up momentum. However, her opponents didn't find her funny at all.
They all had veins popping out of their forehead and were gritting their teeth in anger. Although they've faced humiliation and criticism before in the Sect, that was understandable. They were weak and pathetic back then, much different compared to their current selves and status.
They've slaughtered countless innocent people either for fun, for missions, or for their cultivation, all so they can get stronger. They've gone through hell and back in the Sect just to survive.
Yet, this little girl in front of him is treating them as if they are no more than cute little kids. Even the way she's fought up until now has shown that she hasn't thought much of them. In her eyes, they really are just someone else's dog.
"Fuck you, wench! If I don't tear you apart today, then I'll cut off my dick and turn into a woman!" Number Four yelled, surrounding himself in flames, and charged at Mira.
The other three weren't much different and began launching all sorts of fire abilities her way.
Mira chuckled and retreated tens of meters away to escape the blast radius of all those attacks.
"Hahaha! Did I strike a nerve, little boy? Wait, maybe I should be calling you little girl now since you'll be cutting off your little willie here in a few minutes! Maybe this was what you were after all along; the chance to turn into a woman! Well, as a woman, I approve of your decision! As you can tell, we are superior to horny dogs like you all! Hahaha~~!" Mira continuously taunted and teased, causing their expressions to morph, and they attacked her with even more ferocity.
"Why are you all so angry? I'm just playing around. But if you really do want to switch genders, maybe you lot wouldn't be so fucking ugly. Is that why you guys are so horny? Women don't actually want to spend a night with your monkey-looking ass-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I'LL KILL YOU!!"
Mira was interrupted by a loud scream. Following the scream was Number Four, who came charging at Mira recklessly while swinging his sword around like a maniac, launching flames all over the place.
Mira was hoping for this reaction, and as Number Four seemingly lost his mind, Mira waited for the right moment to strike.
p Sure enough, he wasn't paying any attention to his defense as the only thing he cared about right now was trying to kill her.
Therefore, Mira took advantage of this. Her muscles bulged, she stomped on the ground, and with all the momentum from her scythe, she sliced horizontally, cleanly cutting through his waist.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
However, even after losing his lower body, Number Four was still alive and could only scream in pain and agony.
"Oops! I was trying to turn you into the girl, but it seems like I swung too hard. My bad, my bad. Hehehe~"
Those words were the straws that broke the camel's back. The others were already pissed off beyond belief, and watching Mira play around with them like this only served to anger them further.
The downsides to their cultivation techniques were starting to show as they were quickly losing their minds to anger.
Fortunately for them, Number One wasn't a complete idiot.
"Snap out of it, guys! She wants you to get angrier! Didn't you see what happened to Number Four? If you don't calm down, the same thing will happen to you!" Number One shouted, which helped the rest of his group to calm down a bit.
Mira clicked her tongue but knew that now she had to get serious.
