Chapter 1887 - 1888: Foolish Woman
Yang Fei chuckled, lazily walked over, and looked at her coldly, his eyes full of mockery.
"You stupid woman, can't you understand human speech? Are you an idiot, or did you forget to take your medicine today?"
With these words, he swaggered past Merlin, heading directly towards the pile of prey collected by the retainers.
"Stupid... stupid woman?"
Merlin was the pride of the family, having broken through to the Gangjin Master Martial Arts Realm at eighteen.
This made her stand out among many noble sons and gain immense favor from the Family Elder Council.
In the doomsday era, powerful families faced constant threats, with firearms and ammunition resources being extremely scarce.
As such, individual combat power received unprecedented attention.
A genius like Merlin could grow into a True Martial master and even break through to Spiritual Martial Arts to become a family Guardian God.
Even the Clan Leader treated Merlin courteously and warmly.
Furthermore, the leader went to great lengths to send Merlin to Sai Enshi Military Academy for further studies.
It's safe to say that at twenty, Merlin had never been so viciously insulted before.
Others widened their eyes upon hearing Yang Fei's insults.
Milan's heart leaped; she knew Yang Fei lost his memory, but that was no excuse for foul language.
After all, this team was obviously made up of noble sons that ordinary people couldn't afford to provoke.
The doomsday world had completely lost order, with survival of the fittest manifesting in every aspect.
And the nobility were the controllers of this era.
They wielded powerful firearms, had ample freshwater and food, and could train stronger martial artists.
The era also showed enough deference to the nobility, even to the point of flattery.
Noble privileges were even codified into human conventions.
For example, now, Yang Fei openly insulting a noble son was basically an act of seeking death.
No one was foolish enough to fight with nobles.
Noble sons could kill people and only need to pay a fine, whereas ordinary people killing a noble would face a death sentence.
Furthermore, even the family of an ordinary person who killed a noble could not escape noble revenge.
This was a well-known rule.
Milan thought of this, her palms clammy with cold sweat, feeling anxious.
No matter how innocent Nico was, she realized Yang Fei had gotten into big trouble, and instinctively defended him.
"Miss Merlin, this gentleman didn't mean it, he is..."
Smack!
The enraged Merlin vented her anger on Nico, landing a slap on Nico's face.
"You group of lowly servants, how dare you insult a noble?"
Nico reeled back from the blow, blood spattering from her mouth.
The irrational Merlin struck again, aiming at Nico's chest.
Merlin harbored murderous intent.
She had never been insulted this way, especially in front of her companions.
In less than three days, the scandal of being called a "stupid woman" would become a laughingstock among noble sons.
Who knows how many malicious words those seemingly reserved but inwardly cruel noble ladies would add?
However, if she killed these three people, and the news reached the noble sons, it would be interpreted differently.
Words like honor, fierceness, and gentlemanly bravery would keep her image perfect.
Merlin unleashed full force with Gang Yuan Qi swirling around, the palm wind roaring.
Not to mention flesh and blood, even an iron man could be shattered with one hit.
Milan was startled, seeing the killing intent in Merlin's eyes, instantly understanding Merlin's thoughts.
Milan instinctively wanted to draw her gun.
But at that moment, both the sinister-looking handsome man and the burly man drew their guns simultaneously, aiming at Milan's head.
Nico never expected Merlin would turn so viciously against her and was too late when she realized.
Nico instinctively made a defensive move, but everyone knew her strength couldn't stop Merlin's fatal strike.
Merlin's cold smile increased her killing intent seeing Nico's resistance.
She mobilized Essence Qi and pushed Gang Yuan Qi to the limit.
In the distance, the roaring flames illuminated the bleak night, lighting up Merlin's cruel grin and blood-red eyes.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a hand seized Merlin's wrist, causing the storming Gang Yuan Qi to vanish without a trace.
Followed by a loose slap across Merlin's face, creating an exceptionally loud sound.
Although not too harsh, the slap completely stunned Merlin.
She staggered back two steps, her eyes widened in disbelief as Yang Fei casually supported Nico from behind.
His bright eyes remained fixed on Merlin, the mocking smile at his lips looking like a demon to her.
"You... you dare lay a hand on a noble, I... I'll fight you."
After speaking, the intense sense of humiliation made her lose all reason, charging furiously at Yang Fei.
Her palm unleashed Gang Wind, her whole aura fierce, clearly using full strength.
Not far away, two men and two women snapped out of their shock, the sinister man shouted in surprise: "Merlin, be careful!"
After speaking, he drew a dagger and charged at Yang Fei, the blade arcing straight for Yang Fei's throat.
The burly man roared and punched towards Yang Fei's vital heart area, the punch wind spreading in a fierce attack.
Simultaneously, the other two women drew handguns, aiming at Yang Fei's crucial points from under ten meters away, preparing to shoot.
In a moment, the five-person squad teamed up against Yang Fei, fighting to kill without leaving any room.
Yang Fei coldly chuckled; seeing Merlin was a woman, he didn't want to go too far, giving her just a gentle slap, but this so-called noble lady wasn't sensible.
Moreover, this squad blindly attacked Yang Fei, assisting the wicked, and couldn't be tolerated.
As Merlin lunged, Yang Fei grabbed her wrist, breaking her joint with a crack, followed by a Heartbreaking Kick to her abdomen.
Merlin's body flew out like a broken kite.
Taking advantage of Merlin's flying body disrupting the two female shooters' view.
Yang Fei's feet stepped Yu Step, forcibly squeezing through the gap in the two men's attacks, and rushed to the two female shooters.
In a flash before their eyes, Yang Fei's figure appeared in front of them.
The two women screamed, but were already knocked to the ground by Yang Fei's Mandarin Duck Chain Legs, their large-caliber handguns falling aside.
The two men's reaction was quick, closely pursued Yang Fei's figure, and charged at him.
Yang Fei chuckled, advancing instead of retreating, charging at them like a tiger pouncing towards sheep.
