Saving the second male lead: Wouldn’t it be nice to kidnap her and have her as your wife?

Zhang Xiang’s location is very close to the village where the male protagonist is.

According to the system's estimation, it will take about half a day, that is tonight, Zhang Xiang will slaughter the entire village as in the original plot.

As for Qiu Jue, he really didn't want to care about the male protagonist at first.

However, the system reminded him that if Zhang Xiang successfully massacred the hero's entire village, then Zhang Xiang and the Resurrection Sect would still become the hero's enemies and would be the targets of his revenge in this life.

Moreover, on the map in Qiu Jue's mind, in addition to his own blue dot and Zhang Xiang's red dot, there is also a green dot that is slowly moving towards this side.

If the trouble Zhang Xiang was about to cause was not resolved quickly, Feng Qingyun, also known as Green Dot, would soon arrive at the village where the hero was. And there was an 80% chance that he would meet the hero in advance and become his disciple.

Due to several reasons, Qiu Jue had no choice but to take action and kill Zhang Xiang.

The system gave the information that Zhang Xiang’s current realm is the Hua Jin period, half-step to Grandmaster.

Zhang Xiang's movement speed is not as fast as Qiu Jue's, but the distance between the male protagonist's village, Zhang Xiang, and Qiu Jue is almost equal.

Qiu Jue used all his strength to use his footwork and lightness skills, and barely managed to arrive after Zhang Xiang.

As I hurried along, the trees around me seemed to be sitting on a supercar from my previous life, and I couldn’t see anything clearly.

At the same time, the system was showing Qiu Jue Zhang Xiang's basic information.

His current realm is the Hua Jin stage, half-step to Grandmaster.

He was originally an outer sect disciple of the Soul Resurrection Sect. Half a year ago, during the Soul Resurrection Sect's once-in-three-years outer sect trial, he won first place.

In the original plot, the one who got first place in the outer sect examination should be accepted as a disciple by the one with the highest status. But Qiu Jue was not in the sect, and he killed the elder before leaving, so now the one with the highest status and realm in the sect is the second elder.

Zhang Xiang became a disciple of the Second Elder and learned his martial arts technique: Daoyin.

The function of the Daoyin technique is to draw the blood of others and use it for one's own benefit. Not only can it quickly increase the current combat power during combat, but in normal times, it can also permanently increase the internal strength by killing others and absorbing the essence of their hearts.

Compared to the Soul-Separation Power that Qiu Jue is practicing now, this is a completely evil method.

After Zhang Xiang basically understood the guiding technique, he asked to leave, saying that he wanted to go out to practice and practice at the same time.

However, wherever he passed, people were slaughtered by Zhang Xiang to some extent. Their hearts and blood were sucked out by Zhang Xiang, and they became dried corpses. People in every city were in panic and offered rewards for the murderer, but to no avail.

----

Zhang Xiang walked leisurely and observed.

He suddenly discovered a small village in the mountains that did not appear on the map.

This village does not look very big, with only about a dozen households in total, and a rough estimate of about fifty people.

Zhang Xiang licked his lips and looked at the village as if he was looking at pigs on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.

It was already evening, the sun was setting, and the sky was covered with fiery clouds.

He strolled leisurely into the village's barely tidy main road.

There were a few middle-aged women at the entrance of the village, who were chatting about family matters. Suddenly, they saw a stranger walking in. They all fell silent and looked at the stranger curiously.

There was an old lady who was very familiar with the place. She shouted to Zhang Xiang, "Are you just passing by on your way?"

Zhang Xiang was wearing a set of tight clothes at this time, a very standard knight's outfit.

He nodded, walked up to the aunties in a friendly manner, and asked politely: "Auntie, I was passing by on my way and didn't expect there was a village here."

The old lady said, "This place is too remote. The government couldn't find it when they made the map."

"How many people are there in your village?"

"Let me think... there are at least 40 people, right? A fat boy was born in the village chief's family a few days ago, and they held a banquet. You can eat for free. Are you hungry now, hero? They should still be serving food."

Zhang Xiang nodded. He was indeed a little hungry.

We arrived at the village chief's house. The village chief's house was the largest and best-looking in the village. At this time, there were red lanterns hanging at the door, and some villagers were coming in and out.

Zhang Xiang congratulated him at the door and went in to eat.

The food wasn't great, just vegetarian dishes cooked with lard.

In this village, being able to eat oily food is a luxury.

Zhang Xiang finished two bowls of vegetarian noodles, then cleared the plate of scrambled eggs, took a sip of coarse tea, and burped.

"At least I'm full," Zhang Xiang touched his slightly bulging belly and patted it with satisfaction, "Then it's time for dessert."

After saying this, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed the throat of a man at the same table.

Blood spurted out in all directions like a fountain.

The other people at the same table were still curiously observing this strange hero, but before they could see clearly what was happening, they were splashed with blood in the face.

But before he could scream, Zhang Xiang teleported from one end of the table to the other in an instant, and several classmates fell down and were stabbed in the throat.

The other tables reacted and ran away in panic: "Murder! Run!"

The aunt who brought Zhang Xiang here stood blankly at the door. She knew that she was in trouble.

"Want to run?" Zhang Xiang took out a few hidden weapons and darts from his pocket and shook his wrist.

The hidden weapon pierced straight through the forehead from the back of the head, instantly killing several people who ran to the door, including the aunt.

In less than an incense stick of time, the village chief's house was empty, without a trace of human presence.

No, there's one last one.

Zhang Xiang walked to the front table and picked up the swaddling clothes on the octagonal table.

The child inside didn't know what was happening and was licking the blood on his face, which came from his grandfather, the village chief.

Zhang Xiang muttered something like "It seems to be a good seedling", raised his hand, and then let go.

The child was crushed to pieces on the ground.

"Kill them first, and then eat them together."

There were still many people in the village who didn't know what had happened. When they heard the shrill screams from the village chief's house, they all looked out from the doorways curiously.

What a beautiful place with simple folk customs, Zhang Xiang exclaimed, without stopping his hands.

The whole village was filled with blood. The chests of the corpses had been cut open, with their hearts exposed, but they were all a shriveled brown-purple color.

"Thirty-seven, thirty-eight... Didn't they say there were more than forty people?" Zhang Xiang searched the houses, taking away the gold, silver and valuables of every household, and taking care of the remaining elderly and children in several families.

The boxer suit he was wearing had completely turned dark red. When the last rays of sunset faded away, the sun rose in the village.

No, it's fire.

Qu Yan ran home from the mountains along the hunter's trail. He was really indulgent today and played too late.

He knew that his mother would usually have finished cooking by this time, and would definitely be standing at the door, holding a bamboo stick, waiting for him to come back.

Afraid of being beaten, run away quickly.

But, hasn’t the sun set yet?

Is the west still so red?
