You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts Chapter 431

"Brother Wen, let’s go."

"Where to?"

"To see the commotion."

Ye Qingzhou led Huang Liwen out of the courtyard where they lived.

At this moment, as the City Defense Array was breached, the rebel army outside Huajian City seemed well-prepared and immediately launched an assault on the city.

With the defending army besieged from within and without, the city gate was soon breached.

"Kill them!"

"The city is breached! Victory! Victory!"

"Anyone who dares to resist is a royal lackey, leave none alive!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Soon, a feast of slaughter began, and the frenzied rebel soldiers were like frenzied beasts, instinctively craving to ’hunt’ everything in sight.

Only this way could they slightly fill the endlessly expanding chasm of desire in their hearts.

Under the banner of overthrowing the tyranny of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom, the first thing the rebels did upon entering the city was to burn, kill, and loot.

In the name of justice, they committed acts of injustice.

Initially, the industries associated with the nobles in the Outer City District were the ones that suffered, such as various luxury shops, especially those dealing in gold, silver jewelry, and silk, were the favorite targets for the rebels to seize.

As for Rare Treasures, they were very rare in the Outer City District, and no one knew where to loot them.

As the looting continued, the bestial nature of the rebel soldiers gradually got out of control, and not only the industries of nobles but also many wealthy merchants and commoners became the targets of the rebels’ hunting.

Then followed the cries and wails of women, and anyone daring to disobey would be labeled a royal lackey and executed on the spot.

Robbery, murder, arson, and the abuse of women followed one after another; those claiming to overthrow the royal tyranny turned out to be ten times more brutal than the royalty themselves.

Even some rebel forces, due to internal disputes over uneven spoils, fought among themselves, further exacerbating the chaos of the situation.

The once bustling streets were now lined with bodies, and blood stained the cobblestone roads dark red.

"They’ve gone mad, everyone’s gone mad, this place is practically purgatory on earth."

For the first time, Huang Liwen witnessed such devastation, his face turned pale, and along with fear, a surge of anger also rose in his heart.

Because among the dead, almost all were commoners, with many women and children, but not nobles.

Most of Huajian City’s nobility lived in the Inner City District.

"These rebels kept claiming they wanted to overthrow the royal tyranny, but why did they raise their butcher’s knives against the citizens of the Outer City District?"

Huang Liwen found the rebels utterly incomprehensible.

Ye Qingzhou’s gaze was cold and filled with anger: "Because their desire to overthrow the current royalty was not to fight against injustice, but simply because they wanted to become the new royalty."

As he spoke, the two unexpectedly encountered a squad of rebel soldiers.

The weapons in their hands were all stained with blood, and they carried large and small packs filled with clothes and jewelry of various styles, clearly plundered from different owners.

Judging by the bloodstains and tears on the packs, the fate of their original owners was self-evident.

"Human Race?"

"Wearing splendid clothes, soft skin, surely royal lackeys!"

"Kill them!"

The rebels, eyes red with killing frenzy, couldn’t suppress their greed at the sight of Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen’s outfits and rushed at them with raised blades.

Shing~

Ye Qingzhou used his fingers like a sword, and in the blink of an eye, he dispatched all these small fry.

Huang Liwen was then worried about the safety of Yinn Yulan and Yinn Guangwu: "I don’t know if those two little ones are safe, sigh..."

"You’re struggling to protect yourself, and yet you still have the mind to worry about others?"

"What do you know? This is what it means to have empathy!"

Muttered Huang Liwen, but after taking just a few steps, he was startled by a human head rolling by the roadside: "It’s... it’s Yinn Ding’an!"

It was quite clear that he recognized the head as belonging to their landlord Yinn Ding’an, who worked as a coachman for the nobles.

"I only saw him this morning, how can he be dead all of a sudden?"

At that moment, Huang Liwen couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic.

Ye Qingzhou couldn’t help but sigh as well: "This is the chaos of the times, human lives are worth no more than weeds."

The two did not stop their steps but continued heading towards the Inner City; with Huajian City in chaos both inside and out, it was a perfect time to fish in troubled waters.

However, as they passed by the Ironwork Market, intense fighting could be heard inside.

Clang~

Clang clang~

Two tall figures were dueling with swords, their agile bodies moving from the ground to the sky, with a pair of gray-white wings on their backs, each flap stirring up a fierce wind.

One of them, with a fierce appearance but kind heart, was Qiong Jie, now bleeding profusely all over, with a long blade scar across his chest that split his breastplate, leaving a wound deep enough to reveal the bone.

"Qiong Ao!"

"Qiong Jie, you are actually attacking me with a blade because of a few outsiders!"

Qiong Ao, like Qiong Jie, was a warrior of the Qiongqi Race.

Even in terms of seniority, he was Qiong Jie’s cousin, both originating from the same tribe, yet now they fought for different masters, becoming enemies on the battlefield.

Qiong Jie, adhering to his duties, accepted the City Guard Army’s mission to protect the citizens against the rebels.

Whereas Qiong Ao joined the rebels, aiming to assist Duan Qianfeng and others in breaching Huajian City.

Qiong Ao first swung a fake attack with his blade, only to switch targets mid-swing, aiming directly at a mother and her two children on the ground.

"Die!"

In the face of the fierce sword light, Yinn Guangwu and Yinn Yulan clung helplessly to their mother, closing their eyes in despair, awaiting death.

"No!"

Qiong Jie, unable to save them in time, looked on with despair and rage.
