Against Heaven's Will

Wuying’s words were like a clap of thunder, paralyzing the bandits on the spot.

"What? You don’t want a woman to lead you?" Wuying questioned right after, frowning. "In this world, gender doesn’t matter. Only your strength does. The four of us can slaughter all of you with ease if we wanted but it just happens that we have plans of robbing one of the Sects so we need some people."

The Bandit’s eyes widened.

"Miss wants to rob a Sect...?"

"What, are you scared? Or is it that you want to forever be a small bandit who only robs passing cultivators?" Wuying asked back. "Your Boss doesn’t seem to have any ambition and keeps lazying around while you do all the work. He prefers to stay in the city and enjoy the beauties. Am I right? Once we take control, that will change. We are going after the big guys."

The Bandits looked at each other and no one denied, giving Wuying a sign she was right. Such a setup was present in almost all Bandit Camps where the Boss would simply give orders

"Can we even attack one of the Sects? Isn’t that too much?"

A questioned reached her and Wuying only shrugged.

"At your current strength? Nope. But if I were to train you, yes," Wuying assured before walking forward. "Lead the way. The sooner we take out your Boss, the earlier we can start."

"..."

All the Bandits were speechless but after a few looks at each other, they lead the way for them. If the girls were bold enough to enter a Bandit Camp and literally announced they are going to kill their Bandit Boss, wouldn’t they be a much better Boss in the end? Just as Wuying said, none of them wanted to be a small Bandit for their whole lives.

They walked along the passage, but there was no city in sight. Only when they reached a stone formation blocking the sunlight from above did the city reveal itself, right in front of them in the small valley.

"Concealing barrier," Yi commented as the air buzzed, letting them see all the wooden buildings and the people casually walking on the main street. It wasn’t just some slums with men drinking but a genuine city with women strolling and kids playing around.

It surprised the girls to some extent but it was to be expected. Their families had to live somewhere too.

"Not bad," Princess Shan nodded. Although it wasn’t up to their standard, it was easy to improve. The only thing they could dislike was the air quality as raw meat dried in the open, making the air stink. She could see the girls filter the air for themselves so she copied as well.

The residents quickly noticed the four new visitors and the games stopped, with mothers taking their kids out of the way. It wasn’t a warm welcome but the girls weren’t bothered at all.

"Haha, are we that scary?" Xiao Wen questioned with a giggle.

"We are sorry. Our camp is just not used to visitors," the recovered Bandit apologized only to get awkward, seeing multiple men block their way. Their weapons were pulled out but they didn’t outright attack.

"Blake? What’s the matter? Who are they?" One of the men barked with a frown. "You know we don’t allow strangers into the city."

The man was tall, wearing only a white undershirt and black leather pants. His head was cleanly shaved with a maw tattoo right on his forehead. It turned out it was exactly his nickname.

"Maw, don’t worry. They came to do business with the Boss. They are safe," Blake lied skillfully. "Can you tell me where he is?"

Maw squinted his eyes as he gazed at the girls and didn’t buy it so soon.

"What business?"

"Maw, do you need to cause problems? Just tell me where the Boss is," Blake replied without revealing anything, causing Maw to tighten the grip around his sword.

"Bitch, you know this is my job as Vice-chief. I’m taking care of the City’s order. I said before, no strangers without my permission, no matter what deals you have with them," Maw argued while cursing before turning to the Four Devils. "I’m sorry but I will have to ask you to leave before we are forced to act rougher with you."

He didn’t seem to care about their beauty, treating them like everyone else.

Even though the girls weren’t really scared, the other bandits that led them here were beginning to sweat. The women and kids already hidden inside their homes while men began pulling out their Spirit Artefacts, surrounding the girls from all sides.

"He is in the bar?" Blake suddenly questioned, pointing behind Maw before shouting with all his might.

"Boss!!! There are four beautiful ladies who came to meet you!!!"

"You..." Maw didn’t know how to comment on that. Before he could say anything, they heard the door opening and two people walked out from the bar.

"Oh my, is today my birthday? You didn’t have to prepare such a good present for me."

Wuying immediately turned colder when she saw a blond thug with an obvious prostitute hugging into his chest. His arm was on her butt, squeezing boldly in front of everyone while his top was off. His whole body was tattooed messily while the hair tied in hundreds of braids.

"I will accept them anyway. You all, come inside for a little chat," the Boss called out as he beckoned them with his finger.

Wuying wanted to vomit when she saw that, but more than anything, she wanted to pierce her dagger through his neck.

"Is this really your Boss? You must be joking," Xiao Wen questioned Blake, seeing it hard to believe. "Such a wimp is leading you all? You must be crazy."

The men who brought them inside scratched their heads, not really denying it while the rest frowned, still loyal to their Boss.

"Bitch, who is the wimp? God stage trashes." The Boss cursed, pushing his girl away as he glared at them angrily. "Take them down and strip naked. Let’s see how they talk afterward."

His order was quickly countered by Wuying who stepped forward while pulling out her two Blood Daggers.

"I challenge you to a Life and Death Battle, one on one. If I win, we are taking control of this City and become your new Boss."

Maw and the other Bandits were taken aback while the Boss burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, what the fuck? You come to our City and want to challenge me? In what world do you live in?" the Boss questioned in laughter before ordering once again. "Take those idiots down. The first four who listen will get to fuck them all night."

"You are really retarded," Wuying commented, gazing at the confused men. "We came here alone, four against hundreds, and your boss is such a pussy he doesn’t even want to fight. Is that the boss that you want to order you? I can bet he is only drinking and fucking his bitches while you are all working hard, earning money for him. He has never moved his ass to battle and you are just slaves for him."

Her voice echoed, striking everyone’s ears with the brutal truth.

"Do you want to be led by such lazy bastard or maybe four Beautiful Devils who always rush first in the battle and lead you to victory? Your choice!"
