Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Killing the Heart-Pickling Wolf, Slaughter

After Lu Qing chased the Heart-Plucking Wolf away, a long moment passed before the terrified gamblers in the wooden building finally climbed to their feet. They

trembled as they gazed at the headless bodies on the second floor and the blood flowing down.

But they still didn’t dare leave the building.

Who knew if they’d run into that evil spirit?

Their hope was that the village chief would kill that evil spirit, so they could truly be safe.

Slaying several of the Happy Building leaders took Lu Qing almost no time.

So, as he leaped from the second floor, his gaze swept through the air and he spotted the Heart-Plucking Wolf.

The wolf had slipped behind a small building, hoping to block Lu Qing’s view and escape.

“Heart-Plucking Wolf! You can’t escape!”

Lu Qing shouted, his voice echoing for miles. He landed on the ground, his energy and blood surging as he shot towards the building.

“Kid, don’t push me too far!”

Heart-Pickling Wolf hadn’t expected Lu Qing to chase him so quickly. His tracks exposed, he immediately bolted in the other direction.

“You’ll die today!”

The two began a life-or-death chase through the village.

“Brother Lu has indeed lurked in!”

Elsewhere, outside Happy Village, Ma Gu, who had been waiting impatiently, considering whether to force his way in,

was delighted by the shouts.

But soon, a wave of doubt washed over him.

“How does it sound like Brother Lu has the upper hand?”

Regardless, Ma Gu refused to wait any longer.

This afternoon had been a torment for him.

On the one hand, he worried that Lu Qing had been quietly dispatched by the Happy Village’s men.

On the other, he feared that a rash incursion would ruin Lu Qing’s plans.

This uncertain wait was excruciating for Ma Gu.

Had he known this would happen, he would have resolutely followed Lu Qing from the start.

“Let’s go! There’s a fight going on inside. Let’s head in.”

Boom!

As Ma Gu and the others rushed over,

Lu Qing finally caught up with Heart Picking Wolf.

After all, their realms were similar, but Heart Picking Wolf had been injured first, hampering his mobility.

After catching up, Lu Qing slashed down with his sword, but Heart Picking Wolf raised his hand to block the blow. After blocking the blow, he retreated a few steps, leaning against a wall, panting.

“So it’s an arm guard! No wonder it’s so strong, able to withstand two of my strikes.”

At this moment, Lu Qing also saw the steel arm guard hidden within Heart Picking Wolf’s torn sleeve.

“Boy, do you really want to kill me?”

Heart Picking Wolf panted, his eyes filled with ferocity as he glared at Lu Qing.

“Scum like you, no matter how many times you die, you can’t wash away your sins,” Lu Qing said calmly.

“What do you want to let me go? Money, or women? I have plenty of both, all for you!” Heart Picking Wolf growled.

“I want your life!”

Lu Qing cut him short, slashing down with his sword.

“Want me dead? Not so easy!”

Knowing that Lu Qing would never let him go, the Heart Picking Wolf also got furious.

His face was ferocious, and he summoned all his energy and blood, and took the initiative to pounce on Lu Qing.

An inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. He was good at boxing and kicking, but he was at a disadvantage if he kept a distance from Lu Qing who was holding a long sword

. Only by fighting in close combat could he have a chance of winning.

But how could Lu Qing not see his intentions?

The information he had discovered through his supernatural powers had let Lu Qing know that the Heart Picking Wolf was good at boxing and kicking.

So when he saw the Heart Picking Wolf trying to close the distance and fight him in close combat, Lu Qing swung his long sword and forced him back with just one blow.

Forced back by the sword, the Heart Picking Wolf did not give up. He spun flexibly on his feet to avoid the blade, and with a wave of his arms, he pounced again.

Then, he failed again and was forced back by Lu Qing’s sword again.

Moreover, this time, he was unable to completely avoid Lu Qing’s sword.

A bloody knife wound pierced his right shoulder. Had he not dodged quickly, his entire right arm would have been severed.

Already suffering internal injuries, now compounded by an external one, Heart Picking Wolf’s movements slowed further.

But he had no choice.

At this point, it was either him or Lu Qing who would die.

His only chance of survival was to get within three feet of Lu Qing.

Otherwise, he would be slain by Lu Qing’s blade.

For the next few moments, the fight between the two men reached a stalemate.

Heart Picking Wolf desperately tried to close the distance, attacking Lu Qing with his signature punches and kicks.

But every time he moved, Lu Qing would force him back with a strike.

However, despite his agility, Lu Qing couldn’t kill him with a single strike.

After all, their realms were similar, so when the fight truly began, it was a fierce struggle.

It seemed neither could defeat the other, but Heart Picking Wolf grew increasingly desperate.

He couldn’t understand why Lu Qing’s swordsmanship was so exceptional.

The moves seemed simple, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t break the sword’s blockade.

At such a young age, his martial arts had already reached the minor success level of the Qi and Blood Realm. He

even mastered such advanced swordsmanship. Where did this kid come from? Cang County had never heard of such a figure.

In despair, Heart Picking Wolf was careless, suffering another wound.

Even more devastating, this time it was on his leg!

The pain in his leg caused Heart Picking Wolf’s movement to falter.

Lu Qing’s eyes flashed, and he immediately seized the opportunity. With a burst of Qi and blood, he struck at his neck.

“Mercy…”

This time, Heart Picking Wolf couldn’t dodge. Fear flashed in his eyes, and he was about to beg for mercy, but before he could speak, Lu Qing’s head was severed by Lu Qing’s sword.

Having slashed Heart Picking Wolf with a single blow, Lu Qing didn’t pause.

He moved, striking towards the other Happy Village members who were trembling in the distance, looking in their direction.

He never forgot his purpose in coming here: to completely destroy Happy Village.

“Ah! Spare my life!”

The battle between Lu Qing and the Heart-Pickling Wolf might sound complex, but to others, it seemed incredibly swift.

The Happy Village members, already trembling with fear at seeing Lu Qing swiftly dispatch their leader with a single blow, were now terrified.

Seeing Lu Qing charging toward them again, their hearts trembled even more.

However, their pleas for mercy were destined to elicit no sympathy from Lu Qing.

The slaughter officially began.

…

“Good man, spare my life, spare my life!”

“I have silver here, for you, all of it !”

“If you’ll spare me, all this silver is yours!”

Zhao Laosan knelt in front of the wooden building, pulled a bag of silver from his arms, and tremblingly held it before him.

Resentment welled up in his heart.

Perhaps because he had sold the losing item, his gambling luck had been exceptionally good tonight. Before long, he had not only won back all the silver he had lost, but had even multiplied it several times over.

Originally, he could have continued to win, but now everything was messed up by the kid in front of him. How could he not hate him?

But no matter how much he hated him, Zhao Laosan did not dare to show it.

The kid in front of him was a real evil star. Didn’t you see the corpses all around him? They were all the work of this evil star.

On the contrary, he was very scared, afraid that Lu Qing would chop him down with a knife like he did to the others.

Looking at Zhao Laosan who was crying and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

There was no fluctuation in Lu Qing’s eyes.

With a light wave of his hand, the knife flashed, and Zhao Laosan’s voice of begging for mercy stopped abruptly. A line of blood emerged from his neck, and he fell to the ground, his body and head separated.

And this scene happened to be seen by Ma Gu and others who walked into Happy Village.
