Chapter 80

80. Chapter 80: Fright and Request

Seeing Lu Qing chop off a man’s head with a single blow.

Then looking at the corpses scattered around, blood flowing everywhere, and heads strewn all over the ground,

Ma Gu and the others couldn’t help but gasp.

They couldn’t imagine what had happened here to cause such a tragedy.

Xiao Tian looked around and suddenly said urgently, “Master Ma, look at that!”

Ma Gu looked over and saw a head rolling on the ground. The eyes, still open in death, still held a look of fear, which was quite frightening.

“Heart-picking Wolf… Even he’s dead?”

Ma Gu’s heart skipped a beat as he recognized the owner of the head.

Hearing the voice, Lu Qing turned and looked at the newcomer.

That emotionless, icy gaze instantly frightened Xiao Tian and the others back several steps.

Even Ma Gu, a powerful master in the Bones and Muscles Realm, felt his heart pounding, a chill running through his heart, his entire body numb.

“Brother Lu! It’s us!”

Ma Gu shouted, suppressing the chill in his heart, fearing Lu Qing would swing his sword at them.

There was no other way. Lu Qing looked too terrifying.

The murderous intent emanating from him was like a soul-catcher from hell, quite frightening. He

stared intently at the men across from him for a moment, making Xiaotian and the others tremble. The murderous intent in Lu Qing’s eyes gradually faded, and he regained his composure.

He didn’t ask Ma Gu and the others why they were there.

Instead, he said, “You’re here. It’s just right, Master Ma. I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it, Brother Lu?”

Ma Gu asked, relieved to see that Lu Qing’s murderous aura had receded considerably.

Lu Qing said nothing more, picked up a purse from the ground with his knife, and walked forward.

Ma Gu was startled, then followed him. The others hesitated, then slowly followed.

Lu Qing continued to walk forward. Xiaotian and the others walked along, terrified by the bodies lying on the ground on both sides.

They recognized that most of the bodies belonged to people from Happy Village, but quite a few were clearly gamblers or prostitutes seeking entertainment.

What had driven Lu Qing to such a killing spree?

Xiaotian and the others watched Lu Qing’s back, terrified.

They could never imagine that Lu Qing, usually so polite and courteous, could possess such a brutal and murderous side.

Magu, surveying the bodies on the ground, was also somewhat horrified.

He could tell that most had been killed with a single blow while fleeing.

Some had clearly been killed while kneeling and begging for mercy.

Even begging for mercy didn’t save them, so one can only imagine the depth of Lu Qing’s murderous intent.

Lu Qing didn’t stop, heading straight for a house.

Magu’s gaze focused, noting that the house was unlike the others in the village, constructed of stone.

Lu Qing pushed open the door, and Magu’s eye twitched again.

With the help of the lights outside, he saw three more bodies inside.

However, compared to the horrific scene outside where bodies were being torn apart at any moment, the way these three bodies died was much more dignified.

At least, they were all able to keep their bodies intact.

Magu was a little confused as to what Lu Qing’s purpose was in bringing them here. Could it be that these three bodies held some kind of mystery?

Then he saw that Lu Qing didn’t even glance at the three bodies, but continued to walk inside. When he came to a fence, he cut the chain on the door with a knife.

A few slight screams were heard, and Magu realized that there were other people in the dim corner.

It was probably because he had been so shocked since entering the village.

Otherwise, with his level of cultivation in the Bones and Muscles Realm, he should have noticed that there were still people inside.

“Master Ma, there are a few poor girls here, and there are also some poor people in the wooden building in the middle of the village. If possible, I hope you can help to accommodate them.”

“As for the cost of resettlement…” Lu Qing paused before saying, “I think there is still a lot of money in this village, which should be enough to accommodate them.”

Ma Gu picked up a lantern at the door and walked into the house. With the help of the light, he finally got a clear view of the scene in the dim corner.

Looking at the little girls chained in irons, their skinny bodies were staring at him with fear on their faces.

He finally understood why Lu Qing was so angry and went on a killing spree.

Even he couldn’t help but feel the rage welling up at the scene before him.

“The Black Wolf Gang has gone too far,” Ma Gu said in a deep voice. “Don’t worry, Brother Lu, I’ll find a way to take care of these poor children.”

“There’s more than just these few,” Lu Qing shook his head. “There are also some girls in the wooden building. Most of them were sold to this village against their will. I hope you can help with that, too. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, just enough to keep them fed and alive.”

Lu Qing knew that with his abilities, it would be impossible to take care of all these girls.

He didn’t have the energy or time.

Only someone like Ma Gu, with a powerful family background, would have the connections and the means to take care of them.

Ma Gu pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you.”

Lu Qing pushed open the gate and stepped inside. Under the girls’ terrified gazes, several blades flashed, severing the chains from their hands and feet.

This scene made Ma Gu’s eyes twitch again.

In such dim light, Lu Qing was able to cut through the chains on the girls’ hands and feet with such precision, without injuring them at all.

Even he couldn’t easily achieve this level of swordsmanship control.

No wonder Lu Qing was able to single-handedly destroy the entire Happy Village.

Even the Black Wolf Gang’s ninth leader, Heart Picking Wolf, was hacked to death.

With this level of swordsmanship, who in the entire Happy Village could rival him?

“I’ve killed all the bad guys outside. You guys, follow this uncle. He’ll take care of your future. Don’t worry, you won’t go hungry again,”

Lu Qing said to the little girls in the corner.

Seeing the last girl captured, Lu Qing paused.

He pulled a purse from his pocket.

“This is the money your father sold you for. Use it to buy medicine for your mother and cure her illness as soon as possible. As for your father,” Lu Qing paused, then said, “I’ve already killed him.”

The girl’s eyes widened, staring blankly at Lu Qing.

Regardless of her mood, Lu Qing placed the purse in her hand and walked out.

Ma Gu followed out and gave Xiao Tian and the others some instructions, asking them to appease the girls and clean up the mess.

After doing this, he saw Lu Qing walking all the way out of the village, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, “Brother Lu, where are you going?”

“I have some things that I want to think about alone. I will come to visit you in two days and thank you, Master Ma.”

Hearing this, Ma Gu paused.

He looked at the corpses scattered around him, and finally did not continue to follow.

He just watched Lu Qing carrying his sword and slowly leaving the village.
