The Empress' Livestream - Chapter 255

Chapter 255: You All Could Come and Fight With Me. I’ll Lose If I Cross the Line

Cheng Cheng was not a high-ranking official in the imperial court. He was no more than an ordinary official of a county, although he came from a good background. However, he detested the injustice in the imperial court, and he preferred to hang out in small places. No one was offended by him, for he behaved with great caution…

Who had actually employed assassins to take his life?

“Go to hell and ask the king there yourself!” The leader of the bandits smiled with an evil intention as his eyes fell on the lady behind Cheng Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng was in her early thirties. She had two sons and one daughter. With a very good understanding of life, she maintained her health and mentality properly. Without the temperament, she was just like a teenage girl. It was no wonder that the bandits had such evil intentions.

They only needed to cut off Cheng Cheng’s head to complete their mission. How they dealt with other people didn’t really matter at all.

In order to catch Cheng Cheng, the bandits had kept watch in the wilderness for months. They hadn’t even seen a “female mosquito” during those months… They couldn’t bear with their sexual lust.

Cheng Cheng was a man, so naturally he could see what their intentions were. His fair-skinned face grew colder, then he felt an extreme pain in his wounds out of anger.

Faced with dozens of pairs of evil eyes, Mrs. Cheng made her decision, raised her hand, and grabbed the sword from Cheng Cheng. “My love, I’ll kill myself!” She was ready to commit suicide by cutting her throat.

At that time, the bandits had also approached, and the situation had reached an irreparable level.

Resentment filled the chest of Cheng Cheng. At that moment, all kinds of mixed emotions filled Cheng Cheng’s mind. The gentleness that defined him in the past had been broken… If God could hold justice and he could escape from death, he was resolute to find who employed the bandits and smash the person!

Bang!

Mrs. Cheng intended to commit suicide, but her wrist was hit by a stone. The sword suddenly got out of her hands and was inserted into the ground.

“Hey, as bandits, you don’t even know the rules? Huh?” They were at an angle, so Cheng Cheng and his wife couldn’t see who was speaking, but the bandits could.

The person jumped from the rocks to stop Mrs. Cheng from killing herself, meanwhile kicking the closest bandit to the couple in the chin. Jiang Pengji kicked out half of the bandit’s teeth. Blood oozed from the bandit’s mouth, and his chin was deformed because of the blunt force. Although the bandit was not dead, his brain might have been damaged.

Almost within a blink, the person grabbed one of the bandit’s hair, holding a knife backhand. The long knife cut the neck and blood spurted out.

Cheng Cheng and his wife were dazed out of shock. When they calmed down, they saw a gentle young man in a robe, who was not even as tall as their daughter… Upon seeing that, the joy they had felt was suddenly suppressed.

“My friend, these bandits are highly skilled in martial arts. You don’t have to get yourself in trouble…”

Before Cheng Cheng finished his words, the person gave the middle finger to the bandits with disdain, not even turning her head back.

“I will save this woman. You can deal with the man however you want.”

Cheng Cheng and his wife were dumbfounded and lost their words. The excited audience in the live streaming room were speechless. They sent out several colons.

Who could that person be if it was not Jiang Pengji? Her proposal was very friendly, but how could those vicious bandits agree?

Jiang Pengji had just almost kicked one of them to death, and with another already dead, they wouldn’t let her go so easily.

The System was bemused by Jiang Pengji’s erratic behavior.

“Didn’t you just say that you would not save them or accept the mission?”

Jiang Pengji didn’t act like normal people, so the System was a bit dumbfounded.

Jiang Pengji responded in her heart, “I think his wife is very beautiful. It’s a pity for her to die here. I don’t care if the man dies. I will save the woman. If you still think that I am doing the mission, I could kill the man after I strike down the bandits. After that, you could say that I failed.”

System: “…” It had no doubt that she would do that. The host would do just about anything to resist the System.

“Kill them all!” The bandits looked at each other, anger flashing in their eyes. “Go!”

Jiang Pengji sneered, one mouth corner raising. Blood was still dripping down along the long knife in her hand. They had asked for death so soon.

The live streaming had lasted for a half a year, and the audience had already become familiar with Jiang Pengji’s temperament. She would kill people if she wanted to. At this time, apart from those who were timid, many viewers felt excited about that… After all, this was indeed kind behavior!

The heroic complex in martial arts novels couldn’t be accurately depicted on television dramas, but this was real. No one could act that well, no matter how high their acting skills were.

“You all could come and fight with me. I’ll lose if I cross the line.” Jiang Pengji was as arrogant as ever.

After she finished speaking, several bandits rushed to her with knives high. Seeing that, Jiang Pengji blinked slightly. She stood firm but moved quickly. Although she seemed to be thin and weak, she moved quickly and had greater strength than any of the men did.

She jumped back and forth, avoiding the attack of two knives, while at the same time catching the knives coming right to her.

The bandits thought Jiang Pengji would have been killed by that. Nevertheless, the instant the knives banged together, they felt a deep pain in their hands. The macho men were shocked by the giant force. They violently stepped back and couldn’t stand firm on their feet.

Everything happened in such a short time frame that it was hard to follow. Such great strength!

Jiang Pengji did not retreat but rushed forward. Her knife flew across the sky, leaving a beautiful, white shadow.

At the same moment, a breeze-like coldness passed through people’s necks. The warmness of their bodies suddenly faded away and their view dimmed and spun.

Nide Yida: “Kill!”

Bingtang Ningmeng: “Kill them!”

Yinyuejia Zhuge Qinmo: “Another cut!”

Jimo Kongting: “Still not dead!”

…

Jiang Pengji: “…” Do you think that I am playing a game?

Laosiji Lianmeng: “Congratulations! The streamer is unbreakable!”

However, after a moment of fighting, Jiang Pengji had already seen through many things but still had more questions in her heart. They were not bandits at all… It could said that they were not real bandits, but actually assassins trained by people.

The couple behind her was their object.

The man was called Cheng Cheng. Since he could make friends with Meng Zhan from Meng County, he was at least a noble.

What puzzled her was the specialty of this man. Why could he be worth that scared the System? Why did the System want to kill him?

Yes, the System was hiding its real goal. Even though she had spent half a year with it, Jiang Pengji still had no trust in the System.

Although it issued a real-time, triggering task to save Cheng Cheng, in Jiang Pengji’s view, its real purpose is to take his life.

Jiang Pengji had resisted the System for a long time. Her dislike of the real-time tasks was deeply rooted in her heart.

She boldly speculated that the System persuaded her to complete the task, but it actually wanted to cause her to rebel. It wanted her to deliberately do the opposite thing.

To that end, the System had even taken out the punishment of a “six-level electric shock” as “reward bait.”

The “six-level electric shock” was a punishment for others, but how could the System not know that it was the best reward for her?
