Chapter 78 Slaying the Heart-plucking Wolf, Massacre
Following Lu Qing as he pursued Heart-plucking Wolf, after a long time, the gamblers previously scared witless in the wooden tower cautiously climbed up from the ground.
Seeing the headless corpses on the second floor and the blood that flowed down, they were shaking all over.
Still, they didn't dare to run out of the wooden tower.
Who knew if they might run into that massacre-causing star outside.
What they were hoping for now was that the village chief could kill that massacre-causing star so that they could truly be safe.
Killing several leaders of Joyful Tower hardly took Lu Qing any time.
So when he leaped from the second floor and cast his gaze while mid-air, he had already spotted Heart-plucking Wolf's trace.
That guy had just dodged behind a small building, trying to use it to block Lu Qing's sight and take the chance to escape.
"Heart-plucking Wolf! You can't escape!"
Lu Qing burst out shouting, his voice carrying for miles, and as he landed, his Qi-Blood surged, propelling him toward the small building like a bolt of lightning.
"Boy, don't push people too far!"
Heart-plucking Wolf hadn't expected Lu Qing to pursue so quickly, and after his whereabouts were exposed, he immediately ran in another direction.
"Today you're definitely going to die!"
The two began a deadly chase within the village.
"Brother Lu truly sneaked in!"
On the other hand, outside Happy Village, Ma Gu had already been waiting impatiently, contemplating whether to force his way into Happy Village.
He was greatly surprised to hear these shouts.
However, he quickly felt puzzled.
"Why does it sound like Brother Lu is gaining the upper hand inside?"
But no matter what, Ma Gu didn't want to wait any longer.
This afternoon had tortured him greatly.
On the one hand, he was worried that Lu Qing might have been silently taken care of by the people of Happy Village.
On the other hand, he feared that if he rashly broke in, he would ruin Lu Qing's plan.
This uncertain waiting was excruciating for Ma Gu.
If he had known it would be like this, he would have insisted on coming along with Lu Qing from the start.
"Let's go, the fight has broken out inside, we should get ready to go over."
Boom!
As Ma Gu and his men were hurrying over.
Lu Qing had finally caught up with Heart-plucking Wolf.
After all, their realms were similar, but Heart-plucking Wolf was wounded first, affecting his mobility.
After catching up, Lu Qing chopped down with his saber, and Heart-plucking Wolf raised his hand to block it, parrying the blade and then retreating several steps, leaning against a wall, somewhat out of breath.
"So it was an arm guard, no wonder it's so hard, able to block two of my moves."
At that moment, Lu Qing also saw the steel arm guard hidden in Heart-plucking Wolf's torn sleeve.
"Boy, do you really need to be so ruthless?"
Heart-plucking Wolf breathed heavily, looking at Lu Qing with eyes full of ferocity.
"Scum like you, no matter how many times you die, it wouldn't cleanse the sins on you," Lu Qing said indifferently.
"What exactly do you want to let me go, money or women? I have plenty here, all yours!" Heart-plucking Wolf bellowed.
"I want your life!"
Lu Qing stopped wasting words with him and chopped with his saber again.
"Want me dead? It won't be that easy!"
Knowing that Lu Qing wouldn't let him go, Heart-plucking Wolf also became vicious.
His expression fierce, he pumped up all his Qi-Blood and lunged at Lu Qing.
A shorter reach is riskier, and skilled in hand-to-hand combat, he was at a disadvantage against Lu Qing, who wielded a long saber.
Only by getting in close for a short-range fight could he have a chance to win.
But how could Lu Qing fail to see his intention.
The information obtained by Superpower let Lu Qing know well in advance that Heart-plucking Wolf excelled at hand-to-hand combat.
So when he saw Heart-plucking Wolf trying to close the distance for a close-quarters fight, Lu Qing swung his saber, and with merely one stroke, forced him back.
After being repelled by a single stroke, Heart-plucking Wolf didn't give up. With nimble footwork, he dodged the blade's edge and with a shake of his arms, lunged again.
Then, he failed again, once more pushed back by Lu Qing's saber.
Moreover, this time, he didn't entirely avoid Lu Qing's blade.
A fresh, blood-dripping wound appeared on his right shoulder; had he not dodged quickly, his entire right arm might have been chopped off.
Already suffering from internal injuries, now with an added external one, the actions of Heart-plucking Wolf inevitably slowed down a bit more.
But he had no choice.
At this point, it was either his death or Lu Qing's demise.
In the current situation, only by pressing within three feet of Lu Qing was there a sliver of a chance for survival.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he would inevitably be chopped to death by Lu Qing's saber.
Thus, in the time that followed, the battle between the two fell into a deadlock.
The Heart-plucking Wolf desperately tried to close the distance, hoping to kill Lu Qing with the fist and foot techniques he excelled at.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But often as soon as he moved, he would be pushed back by a slash from Lu Qing.
Likewise, relying on nimble movement techniques, Lu Qing couldn't manage to kill him with a single slice.
After all, the two were on par in terms of Martial Arts Realm, and a genuine fight between them turned into quite a struggle.
It seemed for a moment that neither could overcome the other, but Heart-plucking Wolf became increasingly desperate as they fought.
He just couldn't understand why Lu Qing's Saber Technique was so exquisite.
The moves seemed simple, yet no matter what he tried, he couldn't break through the blockade of that War Saber.
It was bad enough that this youngster had achieved Small Success in the Qi Blood Realm at such a young age.
But to also have cultivated such an exquisite Saber Technique, where on earth had this kid come from? Cang County had never heard of such a person.
In his desperation, Heart-plucking Wolf, not careful enough, acquired another injury on his body.
What was more fatal was that this time, it was on the leg!
With his leg in pain, the movement technique of the Heart-plucking Wolf stalled instantly.
A flash of sharpness passed through Lu Qing's eyes, he immediately seized the opening, his Qi-Blood erupted, and he swung his saber towards his neck.
"Spare my life..."
This time, however, Heart-plucking Wolf couldn't avoid it any longer, terror flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to beg for mercy, his head was sent flying by a slash from Lu Qing.
After beheading Heart-plucking Wolf, Lu Qing didn't stop for a moment.
Shifting his figure, he killed his way toward the other Happy Village henchmen, who were trembling and peering this way from a distance.
He never forgot that his purpose here was to completely obliterate Happy Village.
"Ah! Spare my life, please!"
The fight between Lu Qing and Heart-plucking Wolf, while complex to detail, appeared exceedingly fast in the eyes of others.
The Happy Village henchmen, already chilled to bone and overwhelmed with fear upon witnessing how swiftly Lu Qing had slain their village chief, now faced an even greater terror as Lu Qing charged at them.
However, their pleas for mercy were destined not to evoke the slightest sympathy from Lu Qing.
A massacre officially began.
...
"Good sir, spare my life, I beg you!"
"I have Silver here, take it, all of it!"
"As long as you spare me, all this Silver is yours!"
In front of the wooden building, Zhao Lao San knelt on the ground, took out a bag of Silver from his bosom, trembling as he held it out in front of him.
He was filled with bitter resentment.
Perhaps because he sold the bad luck, his gambling fortune was unusually good tonight; in no time at all, not only had he won back what he had lost before, but he made several times more than that.
He could have continued to win, but now it was all disrupted by the youngster before him, how could he not hate?
But no mattered how much he hated in his heart, Zhao Lao San didn't dare show it.
The youngster in front of him was a true harbinger of death; hadn't he seen the corpses strewn all around? All were the work of this harbinger. Explore stories on empire
Conversely, he was extremely frightened, afraid that Lu Qing would chop him down just like he had the others.
Looking at Zhao Lao San crying and begging for mercy on his knees before him.
There wasn't the slightest ripple in Lu Qing's eyes.
With a light flick of the wrist, a flash of Sword Light passed, and Zhao Lao San's pleas for mercy stopped abruptly, a line of blood appeared at his neck, and he fell to the ground, his head separated from his body.
And this scene was precisely witnessed by Ma Gu and the others as they entered Happy Village.
