C658 Killing Fiend Woo Zhengyang

Upon hearing his name called, Woo Zhengyang paused for a moment, carefully observing the two figures dressed in coarse fabric. One was a girl around thirteen or fourteen, and the other a boy about eleven or twelve. Despite their simple clothes, both had clear, delicate features. The petite siblings huddled together, holding hands in the corner of the luxurious carriage, appearing to be brother and sister.

The one who had called out Woo Zhengyang's name was likely the sister, as the brother buried his head in her embrace, too shy to meet Woo Zhengyang's gaze. Although the sister looked at Woo Zhengyang with a hint of fear, her eyes held a determined glint, much like a little tiger protecting its territory.

“Do you know me?” Woo Zhengyang asked, sitting cross-legged across from the siblings.

“N-no, we don’t…”

The sister’s contradictory response revealed her nervousness, showing that her heart wasn’t as strong as her face tried to convey. Woo Zhengyang understood this feeling well; when two people rely on each other, one often has to bear more. The brother was still young, so naturally, the sister had to stand in front.

“You don’t need to be afraid. I mean no harm; I’m just catching a ride,” Woo Zhengyang explained with a smile. Unfortunately, the more Woo Zhengyang tried to reassure them, the more anxious the little girl became.

Woo Zhengyang was speechless. Was he really that intimidating?

Given the situation, Woo Zhengyang decided to stay silent to avoid putting any more pressure on the siblings.

The large train car fell quiet, with only the creaking sound of the wheels breaking the silence.

After a long pause, the little boy who had been keeping his head down suddenly looked up. The fear and timidity in his eyes were gone.

"Woo... Woo Zhengyang, is it easy to kill someone?"

The boy's question caught Woo Zhengyang off guard. No one had ever asked him that before.

"Xiao Ou, what are you talking about?" The girl was startled by the boy's words and quickly pulled him aside to scold him.

Unexpectedly, the timid little boy showed a fierce determination. He shook off the girl's hand, clenched his small fists, and stood up, growling, "I want to kill!"

Woo Zhengyang's interest was piqued by the boy's actions. He chuckled softly, "Why do you want to kill?"

"Because they killed my parents, and now they want to harm my sister! So, I want to learn from you how to kill them!"

"Xiao Ou! Stop saying such things." The girl reached out to pull the boy back, but he dodged her hand and resolutely stepped in front of Woo Zhengyang.

"Learn to kill from me? Who told you I know how to kill?"

"No, no, don't listen to my brother. He's just talking nonsense," the girl said as she caught up, trying to pull the little boy away.

"I'm not talking nonsense! Let go of me, sis... I know who he is—Woo Zhengyang, the infamous killer. Others might be scared, but I'm not. I want to learn how to kill from him," the boy insisted, struggling to break free from his sister's grip.

"The infamous killer, Woo Zhengyang?"

Zhengyang wasn't surprised by the nickname. After all, he had taken quite a few lives over the past year. But how did this brother and sister recognize him so easily? Was someone spreading his image around?

"Don't be afraid. Even if I'm known as a killer, I don't just kill anyone. Besides, if you were hiding in that corner, it would be easy for me to get to you. Come here, I have some questions for you."

Hearing this, the girl's eyes flickered, and she loosened her grip on the boy's hand a bit.

"Don't worry about me, sis. I want to learn how to kill!" The boy made a sudden move, trying to break free, but his sister held onto his arm. Zhengyang glanced at the girl in surprise. She was actually a Martial Disciple, albeit a novice one.

This time, the girl held onto her brother but didn't pull him back into the corner. Instead, she stood in front of Woo Zhengyang, shielding her brother behind her, clearly waiting for Woo Zhengyang's questions.

"How did you come to know me... this so-called 'murderous monster'?"

"We've all seen your face," the girl replied.

"You've all seen my face? Where?"

"In town, in the center square of our little city. Your pictures are everywhere, saying you're a murderous monster, guilty of every crime imaginable. But I'm not scared. I want to be a 'murderous monster' too, so no one dares to bully us!" The little boy, though hidden behind his sister, spoke with determination.

Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but chuckle. It was just as he suspected—his image was plastered everywhere.

Amid his laughter, a glint of understanding flashed in Woo Zhengyang's eyes, resolving a small doubt in his mind.

"Really? And what do the posters say about me? How have you been bullied?" Woo Zhengyang asked again.

The girl continued to eye Woo Zhengyang warily but didn't stop her brother from talking. As the conversation went on, whenever the little boy struggled to explain something, she would chime in.

From this brother and sister, Woo Zhengyang learned that he was now a well-known figure across the four nations under the Heavenly Martial Sect.

Woo Zhengyang, a notorious killer, is known for his heinous acts of arson, theft, and murder. Rumor has it that he became unhinged while practicing martial arts. Standing over eight feet tall, he appears refined and scholarly, yet he kills without hesitation. He carries a black longsword, stained with the blood of thousands, and the number continues to grow. Anyone who sees him is urged to inform the local authorities for a handsome reward. This description of Woo Zhengyang comes from a wanted poster issued jointly by four nations.

Woo Zhengyang felt a mix of embarrassment and disbelief. He never imagined he would become infamous across four nations, especially in such a notorious way. What puzzled him was why the Heavenly Martial Sect would go to such lengths. His ability to repair the teleportation array was purely accidental, something even he hadn’t anticipated, and certainly unknown to the Heavenly Martial Sect. They shouldn’t know he had already left the Profound Heaven Sect.

Everyone witnessed that when the Profound Heaven Sect closed its gates, Woo Zhengyang was inside. Later, when the sect was surrounded by people both openly and secretly, it seemed impossible for Woo Zhengyang to leave unnoticed. Little did he realize that his repeated defiance of the odds had earned him a reputation as a formidable adversary. As such, people were on high alert, using every means to guard against him.

In recent months, Woo Zhengyang’s sudden quietness left many restless, leading to rampant speculation. Some even believed he had already escaped...

It was precisely for this reason that the Heavenly Martial Sect took this precautionary measure...
