Chapter 194: Killing One in Ten Steps

This was killing, entirely different from hitting someone or making them bleed before.

But… once Gong Jian was killed, the dozen or so beauties in the ancestral hall could be played with freely… Just thinking about riding Gong Xue and slapping her snow-white buttocks hard with his hand, Wu Yunfei felt excited again.

“Xiao Ya, I have always liked you. Don’t you know my heart? Now that the apocalypse has come, who knows if we will even live to see tomorrow. If I can’t have a passionate love with you, my life would have been in vain…” Yang Lin forcibly pulled Yi Ya closer into his embrace again.

Yi Ya reached out her hand trying to slap Yang Lin, but her other hand was grabbed by him as well.

“What are you all doing again? Wu Yunfei! Put down the dagger!” Gong Xue quickly ran over, reached out to grab Gong Jian, and tried to pull him backward.

“Sister Gong, I don’t want to hurt you, but your brother is too annoying!” Wu Yunfei stepped forward a few steps and waved his dagger again.

“Sister, step aside!” Gong Jian pushed Gong Xue aside forcefully; the dagger was blind, and who knew if it might accidentally hurt her?

Wu Yunfei seized the chance to rush at Gong Jian while brandishing his dagger. Gong Jian dodged alertly and grabbed Wu Yunfei’s wrist with his hand. The two immediately started wrestling. The girls in the ancestral hall didn’t know what had happened; they only saw two big male students suddenly start fighting, which made the girls scream for a while.

“Stop it, both of you!”

Gong Xue, afraid that Gong Jian would get hurt, shouted loudly and tried to approach to stop them, but their movements were too vigorous, and she couldn’t get close at all.

The ancestral hall was in chaos. No one noticed that ‘Lin Yin,’ who was lying on the ground, had a half-foot-long sharp knife in her hand without anyone knowing when she got it. It was said late but happened fast; the ‘Lin Yin’ who had been knocked out suddenly sprang up from the ground, quickly raised the blade in her hand, and fiercely stabbed it into Yang Lin’s back, toward his heart.

Yang Lin, whose attention was completely on Yi Ya, was trying to forcibly pull Yi Ya into his embrace, his heart swaying with desire, completely unaware of the danger behind him…

Although Lin Yin’s strength was nowhere near Lü Yang’s level, the combat skills that Lü Yang originally had were not forgotten due to the body swap. This stab was vicious and accurate, and the blade he had chosen was very sharp, so it easily pierced into Yang Lin’s back toward his heart. Then, with a slight flick of his wrist, Lü Yang churned and destroyed Yang Lin’s heart and aorta. After enlarging the injury, he swiftly pulled the blade out.

Yang Lin released his grip on Yi Ya’s wrists. One hand reached behind to touch his own back, then he looked at Lin Yin in surprise. But he couldn’t utter a single word now and just stiffly collapsed to the ground.

Lü Yang’s stab just now was ruthless and thorough; with that one stab, he left no chance of survival for Yang Lin.

“Young Master Yang!”

Wu Yunfei, hearing the commotion behind him, saw Yang Lin lying on his back on the ground. He quickly let go of Gong Jian, whom he had been wrestling with, ran over, crouched down, and lifted Yang Lin up. Yang Lin’s injury was on his back; Wu Yunfei didn’t know his heart had been stabbed and thought he had been pushed down by Yi Ya, only he didn’t understand how Yi Ya could have such great strength.

“She…”

Yang Lin’s eyes were wide open. He lifted his hand to point at ‘Lin Yin,’ spat bloody foam from his mouth, convulsed one last time, then went completely limp on the ground.

“Young Master Yang!”

Wu Yunfei shook Yang Lin’s body hard and finally realized something was wrong. He pulled out the hand that had been supporting Yang Lin’s back and saw that his entire sleeve was covered in blood…

His father had often told him to treat Yang Lin like the servants of old treated their masters. Wu Yunfei listened well to his father and indeed made sure he acted that way. Yang Lin had always called Wu Yunfei a brother, saying he was righteous and could even compare to Lord Guan. Now that Yang Lin was dead, Wu Yunfei was completely stunned for a moment.

Like a dog suddenly discovering its master dead, only those who have been dogs know this kind of sorrow and disorientation.

“What happened? What’s wrong with Yang Lin?” Gong Xue hurried over. Seeing Yang Lin on the ground spitting blood from his mouth, she couldn’t help but turn pale with shock.

“Murder! Lin Yin committed murder!” Wu Yunfei shouted loudly. Before dying, Yang Lin had pointed at Lin Yin, and the stab in his back toward the heart indicated that Lin Yin must have done it.

“Don’t talk nonsense! It was me who stabbed him! It has nothing to do with Yinyin!” Gong Jian had been facing Lin Yin’s direction and clearly saw ‘Lin Yin’ stabbing Yang Lin in the back toward the heart. Now he felt very flustered and instinctively took the blame for ‘Lin Yin’.

“Don’t take the blame recklessly! You didn’t do anything to Yang Lin!?” Hearing Gong Jian’s words, Gong Xue turned pale with shock. She turned around, grabbed Gong Jian by the collar, and pulled him aside forcefully, frantically questioning him.

“Yang Lin was killed by Lin Yin! I saw it!” one of the girls shouted to everyone.

“I was indeed the one who killed him; it has nothing to do with Gong Jian.” Lü Yang stood up, held up the bloody sharp knife for everyone to see, then took out a tissue and wiped the blade. His demeanor and actions were as cool as a cold-blooded killer who ‘kills one in ten steps, leaves no trace for a thousand miles.’

“Yinyin, you must be possessed…” Yi Ya murmured softly. The way Lin Yin had killed fearlessly and decisively for her just now could only be explained by Lü Yang possessing her; otherwise, it was unimaginable that Lin Yin could have done it.

“Lin Yin, do you realize this is a criminal act!?” Gong Xue scolded ‘Lin Yin’ loudly, her voice trembling slightly.

“So I should just stand by and watch these two beasts harm Xiao Ya? This was self-defense.” Lü Yang replied calmly to Gong Xue.

“Self-defense, my ass! I’ll kill you, you little bitch!” Upon hearing Lin Yin’s words, Wu Yunfei suddenly sprang up from the ground, waved the dagger in his hand, and fiercely stabbed toward ‘Lin Yin’s’ body.

Others didn’t see the dagger in Wu Yunfei’s hand, but Gong Jian saw it clearly. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he rushed over fiercely, trying to block the attack for Lin Yin…

Thud! The sound of a blade entering flesh… and ‘Lin Yin’s’ cry…

Lü Yang sidestepped to avoid Wu Yunfei’s dagger, then sharply swept his own sharp blade along Wu Yunfei’s neck, cutting a deep gash…

The cry was because ‘Lin Yin’s’ strength was too small; Lü Yang had to shout out to burst out all the energy in ‘her’ body to complete this strike.

A pillar of blood shot out from Wu Yunfei’s neck, and gurgling sounds came from his throat. He staggered forward a few steps, looked back at Lin Yin, wanted to speak but couldn’t say anything, then fell headfirst to the ground.

Blood was everywhere.

Lin Yin’s stabbing Yang Lin to death had already caused great panic. Now she killed Wu Yunfei as well, making the entire ancestral hall extremely bloody. The girls still inside were completely terrified; many screamed shrilly, even including the female counselor Gong Xue.

The exchange between ‘Lin Yin’ and Wu Yunfei happened too fast. When it was all over, everyone saw ‘Lin Yin’ holding a blood-stained knife, Wu Yunfei’s neck spurting blood. The girls who didn’t understand the situation didn’t think that Wu Yunfei had tried to stab ‘Lin Yin’ and was counter-killed; they naturally believed that ‘Lin Yin’ had openly committed murder again after killing Yang Lin.

Even Gong Jian looked at Lin Yin with astonishment, as if he didn’t recognize her. It must be said that Lin Yin’s reactions were too quick—Wu Yunfei stabbed at her from such close range, yet he didn’t even touch her clothes, while the knife in her hand cut Wu Yunfei’s neck with extreme precision. Was this still the same quiet and gentle Lin Yin from before?

A certain feeling in Yi Ya’s heart grew clearer: in this world, there was only one person who would save their only two eggs for her to eat, who would kill fearlessly for her…

Lü Yang.

Unless Lin Yin was possessed by Lü Yang, the events of the past day or so simply couldn’t be explained.

Lü Yang originally wanted to take out another tissue to wipe the knife and continue posing coolly, but before he could take out the tissue, his body went soft, and he collapsed to the ground first. Lin Yin’s body was too weak; the earlier fight had been too dangerous…

He was able to dodge Wu Yunfei’s stab because Lü Yang had been closely watching Wu Yunfei’s movements. Being able to counter-kill successfully under Wu Yunfei’s attack had an element of chance in it. Lü Yang had just extended the knife and placed it in just the right position, while Wu Yunfei practically charged forward and slit his own throat on the blade.

During the mysterious domain incident at Jinda Hotel, Zhou Ling quickly drew her knife and, with minimal effort, killed Han Cheng, who had raised a chair trying to smash her. This scene left an extremely deep impression on Lü Yang, who was watching from the monitor. Although Lü Yang hadn’t had the chance to practice this combat technique afterward, in that critical moment just now, he suddenly executed it.

A powerful soul could sometimes make the controlled body burst out with abilities far beyond its physical limits. However, achieving this was already the limit for Lin Yin’s body; Lü Yang’s current body was severely exhausted.

Yi Ya and Hu Yulan hurriedly helped ‘Lin Yin’ up, and Gong Jian also crouched down, looking at ‘Lin Yin’ with concern.

Everyone else kept their distance from Lin Yin, except for Yi Ya, Hu Yulan, Gong Jian, and Gong Xue.

“You all fighting over jealousy is one thing, but how did it result in two deaths? What are we going to do now? When Instructor Chen returns later, how am I supposed to explain this to him?” Gong Xue kept sighing. She hadn’t clearly seen what Yang Lin was doing to Yi Ya earlier, and then two deaths occurred in succession.

Right at that moment, a flash of lightning lit up outside the ancestral hall, followed immediately by a loud clap of thunder. Rain poured down noisily and quickly developed into a torrential downpour, making the girls staying in the ancestral hall even more fearful and uneasy.
