Saving April

"Who are you? This is the Ophiuchus Legion, so don't interfere if you know what's good for you!"

Just as his mission was about to be completed, someone suddenly appeared to cause trouble. Lusha frowned, his heart already brimming with anger. However, seeing the opponent floating in the air, he couldn't help but be hesitant.

Ideally, he would retreat voluntarily upon hearing the name of the Ophiuchus Legion, Lusha thought.

But this was clearly unrealistic.

"Tsk tsk, someone from the Ophiuchus Legion..." Mu Yang shook his head gently and slowly descended beside the little girl and the blue dragon.

He glanced at the little girl. Her brown hair was a bit messy, and her face was covered in dirt, obscuring her features. But her pair of sapphire-blue eyes were as spirited as blue gems.

A bit familiar, Mu Yang looked at her a couple more times, but he still couldn't recall.

He said coldly to the members of the Ophiuchus Legion, "To be honest, I don't have a good impression of you. Every time I've encountered you, you've either been burning, killing, and looting, or bullying the weak and defenseless. I think your existence is a pollution to this world."

"Kid, are you looking for death!" Seeing the other party's disrespectful words, Lusha's heart sank. He knew the opponent had made it clear he was going to intervene. His already ink-black face grew even gloomier, and his body was filled with killing intent.

Mu Yang shook his head, unconcerned. "It's not that I'm looking for death; it's that I've never taken you seriously."

After speaking, a piercing cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes, and his entire body blurred. Before the Ophiuchus Legion members could react, Mu Yang had already flashed several steps, circling around them.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too vast. Mu Yang was the top martial artist on Earth, while Lusha and his men, apart from the firearms they held, were essentially a group of brutes. They could deal with ordinary civilians, but when facing a martial artist, they were only fit to be slaughtered.

In just a moment, the sounds of clashing could be heard. Figures were thrown about haphazardly, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

"Damn it, fire quickly!" A hint of panic appeared in Captain Lusha's eyes as he stubbornly gave the order. But as soon as he finished, he was horrified to discover that there was no one left around him to command.

This demon had actually killed all his subordinates in the blink of an eye!!

He had brought a large number of people on this trip to ensure foolproof success, and they had all been killed!

Lusha swallowed, his entire face contorted even more grotesquely with fear. He directly pulled out his pistol and opened fire at Mu Yang. Bang! The bullet flew rapidly towards Mu Yang. Mu Yang dodged the bullet with a sidestep, then pointed his finger at Lusha.

"Hoo!!"

With a sharp, cold hum, a small Ki beam shot out from his fingertip. With a flash of light, the Ki beam directly hit Lusha's head. With a splat, as if piercing a watermelon, a blue beam shot out from the other side of his head, instantly splashing blood everywhere.

With a clang, Lusha's pistol fell to the ground, and his body slumped against the car seat. His pupils widened naturally, his face still frozen in the terror of the moment before death.

"Ahhhhh, the boss is dead."

The new convoy that had just arrived saw the scene unfolding ahead. They quickly turned around, preparing to flee. But since Mu Yang had come, how could he let them leave? If the roots aren't removed, they'll grow back with the spring wind. Leaving loose ends would be troublesome. To avoid future problems, it was imperative to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, leaving no survivors. With a whoosh of light, Mu Yang went on another killing spree, slaughtering the entire group.

After killing all the members of the Ophiuchus Legion, Mu Yang's stern expression changed. He flickered and appeared beside the little girl.

At this moment, April was sobbing uncontrollably beside the Little Blue Dragon, "Wuwuwu, Little Card, don't die."

"Squeak..." The blue dragon weakly panted, sticking out its tongue.

Mu Yang shook his head. Sometimes, animals were more human than people. He squatted down, took out a Senzu Bean, and handed it over. "Here, let it eat this. It'll be fine after it does."

"Really? Little Card can be saved?" April stopped her sobs, took the Senzu Bean, and asked doubtfully.

"Let it eat it and you'll know. This bean is very precious, so if you doubt it, I won't give it to you."

"No, no, I believe you." April quickly wiped her teary eyes and stuffed the Senzu Bean into the Little Blue Dragon's mouth. Poof! The Senzu Bean was bitten open and instantly exerted its miraculous effect. The Little Blue Dragon's eyes widened suddenly, the muscles around its wounds twitched, expelling a few bullets, and all its injuries were healed.

"Roar! Roar!" The Little Blue Dragon flapped its wings, its dark eyes regaining their brightness.

"Wow, that's great! Little Card is okay," April cheered happily.

"Big brother, thank you. If it weren't for you... Little Card would have died." April gratefully bowed to Mu Yang, then tiptoed to untie the small backpack on her back, took out a candy jar, and held up her hands. "Big brother, this is April's favorite honey, there's only a little left, I'll give it to you."

"April?" Hearing the name, Mu Yang was slightly taken aback. It sounded a bit familiar. Looking closely at the little girl in front of him, her brown hair, beautiful eyes, and that familiar gesture, he felt like he had seen her somewhere before.

"Big brother, have these candies, they're very sweet."

"Mmm, April likes candy the most."

—Six months ago, a scene on the train overlapped with the present. It was only then that Mu Yang realized that the little girl in front of him was the one he had met on the train.

"You're April, do you have a sister..." Mu Yang asked.

April's eyes widened, and her mouth opened. "How do you know, big brother? April has a sister, but Cypriel and Mom and Dad are all gone..."

April recounted her experiences intermittently, and as she spoke, the little girl began to cry sadly.

At this moment, Mu Yang understood the whole story. Seeing April's sad face, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Those guys from the Ophiuchus Legion are truly deserving of death!" His gaze towards April was also filled with pity. This little one was now an orphan.

He sighed softly and said to April, "It's not far from my sect here. Why don't you come with me?"

"Mmm, can I bring Little Card?" April asked softly.

Mu Yang looked at the Little Blue Dragon. Its round head was quite cute. "Yes."

"Okay!"

April cheered happily.

Mu Yang smiled slightly, bent down, picked up April, and soared into the air, flying towards the Da Qingshan Mountains. The Little Blue Dragon followed behind, flapping its wings continuously.
