Chapter 197  : A Brutal Strike (1)

Hu Sisheng wanted to stand up, but his knees felt like they were rooted to the ground. Even raising them by a little would cause a searing pain. Cold sweat gushed from Hu Sisheng’s forehead as a sudden ghastly pallor fell across his face.

The entire scenario had taken an abrupt and strange turn. Everyone stared in a stupefied daze at the situation.

No one could have imagined that Hu Sisheng would be completely defenseless under Ji Fengyan’s attack. But that weak and skinny young girl was like a ghost—not a single soul present could catch her movements!

“There is nothing better than someone who acknowledges his mistakes and tries to repent. Brother Ling, shouldn’t you accept his humble apology? He is already kneeling before you!” Ji Fengyan said cheerfully, but the vicious glint in her eyes was hair-raising.

Stunned, the onlooking Green Nightmare Army troops had no idea what to do. Just as they wanted to step forward, Ji Fengyan swirled around with an easy grin. “What’s going on? Do you guys want to apologize too?”

This casual statement caused the feet of those five big and tough soldiers to stay rooted to the ground. A cold chill crept up their spines. Ji Fengyan may be all smiles, but the sight of her triggered a deep-rooted fear in them.

It was as if the person standing before them was not a young lady but a monster from hell.

The rest of the Green Nightmare Army dared not make a move. They stood frozen to the ground, watching helplessly as Hu Sisheng remained kneeling rigidly in front of everyone.

No one at the scene dared to make a noise. An invisible force seemed to be suppressing them from all directions.

Only Linghe and company—after witnessing Ji Fengyan’s actions—were all laughing until their insides hurt.

All these could only be blamed on Hu Sisheng’s own bad luck. To encounter Ji Fengyan—she was definitely not someone to mess with. As far as Linghe and the others could remember, Ji Fengyan had never been defeated by anyone before!

Ji Fengyan slowly stepped forward until she stood before Hu Sisheng. Bending over slightly, she smiled at Hu Sisheng, who was drenched in cold sweat. Her luminous pupils were distinctly black against the whites of her eyes, as she stared steadily into Hu Sisheng’s own eyes.

“We will settle our scores with the Green Nightmare Army another time. Just wait till I don my armour for battle.” With that, Ji Fengyan patted Hu Sisheng on the cheek. Straightening herself, she waved Bai Ze over and walked toward Linghe and gang.

“Let’s go. Since he has already apologized, we will be magnanimous and let him off this time.” Ji Fengyan said with a chuckle.

“We will follow whatever Mistress says.” Linghe and the rest immediately nodded, after which they prepared to leave.

However, as the kneeling Hu Sisheng stared after Ji Fengyan’s departing profile, his mind was filled with the image of her clear, black eyes. He felt that the surrounding spectators were all mocking his uselessness.

A soldier of the magnificent Green Nightmare Army being helplessly tormented by a pint-sized young girl!

“Stay right there!” Hu Sisheng suddenly hollered.

Ji Fengyan came to a placid stop, the amusement on her face hiding a touch of frostiness. She turned mildly, looking in Hu Sisheng’s direction.

Hu Sisheng struggled to his feet, taking no heed of the blistering pain in his knees. Gritting his teeth, he glared at Ji Fengyan. “Ji family brat, the Green Nightmare Army is not to be humiliated by the likes of you!”
