Chapter 77: The Crime of Gender 77
After killing two people in a row, Qin Shuangshuang felt nothing in her heart. In her view, she wasn’t killing people, but creatures not even worth the lives of beasts slain by her arrows!
Taking advantage of the other barbarians not having reacted yet, Qin Shuangshuang shot three more times consecutively. This time, she used a triple-shot technique—three releases, totaling nine arrows. She had never missed using this skill on wild pheasants and rabbits before!
However, Qin Shuangshuang was somewhat regretful this time. Out of the nine arrows, she only managed to kill seven barbarians. The other two had sensed danger and dodged in time; as a result, one arrow hit a barbarian’s shoulder, and another hit one’s belly.
Qin Shuangshuang’s attacks were instantaneous, catching them off guard, and within moments, she had taken out nearly half of the twenty-something barbarians present!
With so many dead at once, the remaining barbarians naturally couldn’t remain oblivious. Upon seeing their companions fallen, the surviving barbarians seemed enraged, shouting loudly and charging at Qin Shuangshuang with menacing gestures, urging their horses as they brandished their curved swords!
Qin Shuangshuang sneered, wondering if these beasts also felt anger when their kind died. She would teach them that someone else’s territory wasn’t a place they could just come to and leave as they pleased.
Nocking another arrow, Qin Shuangshuang seized the moment before the barbarians charged closer and released three more volleys of nine arrows. But since they were facing head-on, she achieved less than the previous time, with two arrows dodged, three men wounded, and only four killed.
After this round, the barbarians were upon her, slashing at Qin Shuangshuang with their curved swords. Qin Shuangshuang sneered again. When it came to a contest of strength, she didn’t fear these barbarians. Drawing out a heavy saber she had purchased, weighing thirty pounds and seemingly weightless in her hands, heavy as paper, she began to clash directly with the barbarians.
Qin Shuangshuang didn’t know her master Fang Zhongyi’s background, yet she always felt that it was extraordinary. The martial arts that Fang Zhongyi taught her, even to the inexperienced Qin Shuangshuang, seemed very skilled indeed.
