Chapter 79 Shock and Request
Seeing Lu Qing decapitate a man with a single stroke,
And then upon glancing around at the corpses strewn across the ground, blood flowing everywhere, heads scattered about.
Ma Gu and his men couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
They couldn't imagine what had transpired here to result in such a gruesome scene.
Xiao Tian looked all around and suddenly cried out in an urgent voice, "Master Ma, look there!"
Ma Gu followed his gaze and saw a head rolling on the ground, its eyes wide open in death, still filled with terror—a sight that was quite frightening.
"The Heart-plucking Wolf... Even he is dead?"
Ma Gu's heart skipped a beat, recognizing the owner of the head.
Hearing the sound, Lu Qing turned his head and looked at the newcomers.
That emotionless, icy gaze immediately caused Xiao Tian and the others to retreat several steps in fright.
Even Ma Gu, a warrior of the Muscle Bone Realm, felt his heart pounding, a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, making his whole body go numb.
"Brother Lu! It's us!"
Fearing that Lu Qing might swing his saber directly at them, Ma Gu forcefully suppressed the chill in his heart and hurriedly shouted.
There was no helping it; Lu Qing's current appearance was too terrifying.
The murder intent encompassing his body was like a Soul Hooker who had burst out of hell, quite horrifying.
After staring steadily at the people across from him for a while, which caused Xiao Tian and the others to tremble, the murderous intent in Lu Qing's eyes gradually subsided, returning to calm.
He didn't ask Ma Gu and the others why they had come here.
Instead, he simply said, "You're here, just in time. Master Ma, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."
"What is it, Brother Lu?"
Seeing that the murderous aura around Lu Qing had diminished a lot, Ma Gu let out a sigh of relief and asked.
Lu Qing didn't speak again; instead, he used his saber to pick up a purse from the ground and walked forward.
Ma Gu was startled, then followed, and the other few hesitated for a moment before slowly keeping pace.
They saw Lu Qing walking ahead, and as Xiao Tian and the others moved along, glimpsing the corpses lying on both sides, they felt a mix of dread and fear.
They recognized that most of the corpses were from Happy Village, but there were also quite a few who were obviously gamblers or clients who had come to Happy Village seeking pleasure.
What on earth could have prompted Lu Qing to embark on such a massive killing spree?
Xiao Tian and the others stared at Lu Qing's back, both fearful and apprehensive.
They could never have imagined that Lu Qing, who was polite and courteous to everyone on usual days, could also have such a cruel and bloodthirsty side.
Ma Gu looked at the corpses on the ground, feeling a bit shocked as well.
He could tell that most of the corpses had been killed while attempting to flee.
And some were clearly killed while kneeling and begging for mercy.
The fact that not even begging could spare their lives gave some indication of the incredible lethality in Lu Qing's heart at the time.
Lu Qing continued on without pause, going straight to a house.
Ma Gu's gaze sharpened as he noticed that this house was different from the other buildings in the village; it was constructed of stone.
Lu Qing pushed open the door of the house, and Ma Gu's eyes twitched again.
With the outside light providing illumination, he saw three more corpses inside the house.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, compared to the outside's brutal scenes of decapitation, these three corpses died far more decently.
At least they were left with their bodies intact.
Ma Gu was somewhat puzzled. What was the purpose of Lu Qing bringing them here? Could there be some mystery in these three corpses?
Then he saw that Lu Qing didn't even glance at the three bodies. Instead, he continued walking further inside and stopped before a fence, chopping the iron chain on the gate with one strike.
Several faint cries of alarm rang out, and it was only then that Ma Gu realized there were other people in the dimly lit corner.
It was strange that since entering the village, he had been too shocked by many things.
Otherwise, with his Muscle Bone Realm cultivation, he should have noticed the presence of others long ago.
"Ma, there are a few pitiable girls inside here, and also in the wooden tower at the center of the village, there are some unfortunate ones. If possible, I hope you can help arrange a place for them."
"As for the expenses of the arrangement..." Lu Qing paused for a moment before continuing, "I think there is still a fair amount of silver in this village, which should be enough to settle them in."
Ma Gu picked up a lantern from the entrance and walked into the house. With the help of the light, he finally saw clearly the scene in the dim corner.
Looking at those little girls locked in iron chains, skinny and angular, their faces filled with terror as they looked at him.
He finally understood why Lu Qing had been so furious and went on such a killing spree.
Even for him, looking at the scene before him now, the anger surged uncontrollably in his heart.
"The actions of the Black Wolf Gang are intolerable," Ma Gu said solemnly. "Don't worry, Brother Lu, I will find a way to take care of these poor children."
"Not just these few," Lu Qing shook his head. "There are also some girls in the wooden tower. Most of them were sold here against their will. I hope you can help accommodate them too. It doesn't have to be much, just let them have food to eat and be able to survive."
Lu Qing knew that with his ability, it was impossible to properly arrange for these girls.
He didn't have the energy or time either.
Only someone like Ma Gu, who had a family clan and power, would have the ways and means to accommodate them.
Ma Gu pondered for a moment before finally nodding: "Rest assured, I will do my best to make arrangements."
"Thank you."
Lu Qing pushed open the fence gate and walked in. Under the frightened gaze of those girls, several flashes of sword light shone, completely cutting off the iron chains on their hands and feet.
This scene made Ma Gu's eyes twitch again.
Even in such a dim environment, Lu Qing was able to precisely sever the chains on the girls' hands and feet without hurting them in the slightest.
This control over his saber technique, even he would not dare claim to do it easily.
No wonder Lu Qing was able to destroy the entire Happy Village by himself.
Even the Heart-plucking Wolf of the Black Wolf Gang's Ninth Master was killed.
With such mastery of the Saber Technique Realm, who within Happy Village could be his match?
"All of you, the bad people outside have been killed by me. Later, you can follow this uncle," Lu Qing said to the little girls cowering in the corner. "He will arrange your future lives. Don't worry, you will not go hungry anymore." Enjoy new stories from empire
At this time, Lu Qing paused upon seeing the last girl who was caught and brought in.
He took out a purse from his bosom.
"This is the money your father got for selling you, take it to buy medicine for your mother. Cure her illness as soon as possible. As for your father..." Lu Qing paused before continuing, "I have already killed him."
The girl's eyes suddenly widened as she stared blankly at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing, indifferent to her feelings, placed the purse in her hands and then walked outside.
Ma Gu followed him out and instructed Xiao Tian and the others to comfort the girls and clean up the aftermath.
After finishing this task, he saw Lu Qing walking away from the village and hurriedly called out, "Brother Lu, where are you going?"
"I have some things I want to think about alone. I will pay a visit in a couple of days to thank you, Ma," replied Lu Qing.
Hearing this, Ma Gu's footsteps came to a halt.
He took a glance at the corpses strewn all around and ultimately did not continue to follow.
He simply watched as Lu Qing, with the War Saber on his back, slowly left the village.
