Chapter 77

77. Chapter 77: Killing Intent Boiling! Blood Road!

“Aunt Jiao, if we starve them like this, will they starve to death? We spent a lot of money to buy these little girls. If we lose even one, the masters will not forgive us.”

A minion from Happy Village asked in the dim room.

“Don’t worry, I have experience. These girls are very stubborn. If we don’t starve them into submission and their rebellious nature is worn down, when they have customers, they will lose their temper and upset the guests, which will be a problem.”

The half-wives in glamorous makeup said in a shrill voice, “You guys are still very inexperienced. Don’t worry, they won’t starve to death. These girls are all humble bones. As long as they have saliva to drink, we don’t have to worry about them starving to death for several days.”

“Of course, we are not as knowledgeable as you, Aunt Jiao. Everyone knows that you were the most popular courtesan in Chunyue Tower. Naturally, you know much more than us little ones,” the minion complimented.

“Yes, look at the girls in our village. After you’ve trained them, every one of them is obedient. It’s all thanks to you, Aunt Jiao.” Another henchman chuckled in return.

“Hehehe… you two little ones are quite good at talking.”

Aunt Jiao let out a shrill laugh, her whole body trembling, her makeup almost falling off her face.

But the next moment, the shrill laughter stopped abruptly.

A sharp knife emerged from her chest, piercing through her completely.

“Aunt Jiao, what’s wrong with you?”

In the dim light, the two henchmen, still unaware of the situation, asked when she suddenly fell silent.

Then, to their horror, they watched as Aunt Jiao’s body suddenly flew up, slamming into the opposite stone wall, blood splattering everywhere, and she tumbled to the ground, her life or death unknown.

At the same time, a figure materialized from behind Aunt Jiao.

“Who!”

The two henchmen couldn’t help but realize they were invading.

But before they could react, the flash of a knife flashed, slicing through their throats.

The two henchmen, who had been about to call out for help, suddenly lost all sound. They clutched their throats, their eyes gleaming with terror as they collapsed to the ground.

Their mouths clenched, trying to utter something, but nothing came out. Blood streamed from their fingers, and their eyes gradually dimmed.

This sudden change caught everyone by surprise.

But in the room, aside from the young girl who had just been brought in, who screamed in shock, everyone else huddled in a corner, trembling as they watched the scene unfold.

It seemed as if the lessons of the past few days had conditioned them to not scream loudly, no matter what happened.

The young girl cried out, then suddenly realized something, quickly covering her mouth, refusing to utter a single sound.

After dispatching the three scum, Lu Qing’s face showed no trace of joy.

With near-night vision, he could clearly see what lay within the dimly lit corner separated by thick bars.

There were seven or eight girls chained together. Judging by their figures and features, the oldest was no more than sixteen or seventeen, the youngest probably only eight or nine.

With the exception of the young woman who had just been imprisoned, the rest of the girls had disheveled hair and were emaciated, looking neither human nor ghost.

Looking at these girls staring at him in terror, Lu Qing didn’t know how to comfort them.

He could only say, “Stay here and don’t move. Wait a while, and I’ll come get you out.”

With that, Lu Qing walked out of the house and closed the door behind him.

Standing outside, gazing at the bright lights, Lu Qing’s gaze was filled with coldness.

Having just killed three scumbags, Lu Qing felt no relief; instead, his murderous intent intensified.

The fate of the girls in the house reminded him that Han Wu and his men had come to Jiuli Village today to capture Xiaoyan.

He couldn’t imagine what Xiaoyan would have endured if he hadn’t happened to have some power.

“Xiao Li, can you sense where the most powerful person in this village is?”

Lu Qing asked calmly after a long silence.

Xiao Li tilted his head in thought, then pointed in a direction.

Lu Qing looked and saw that it was the most conspicuous tall wooden building in the center of the village.

“Is it really there?”

Lu Qing, knife in hand, slowly approached the tall wooden building.

This time, he didn’t hide. The murderous intent burning within him made him unwilling to remain hidden.

What he needed more than anything else was a way to vent this seething murderous intent.

Activating his supernatural powers, Lu Qing headed straight for the building.

Suddenly, two patrolling men, carrying lanterns and sticks, emerged from the corner.

They were startled by Lu Qing, knife in hand, with a strange little beast perched on his shoulder. They

immediately shouted, “Stop! Who are you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qing exerted force on his feet and, in a flash, passed between them.

The next moment, two heads flew up from behind him, and the two Happy Village patrolmen, arms waving, fell to the ground.

Having slashed down the two thugs with a single blow, Lu Qing didn’t even glance back, continuing forward.

After a few dozen steps, he saw a man approaching from the direction of the building, swearing.

With his head lowered, he swore curse words like “son of a bitch,” “impossible,” and “recover from my losses” as he walked towards Lu Qing.

Reaching Lu Qing, he noticed someone blocking his path. He raised his head and shouted, “What are you doing? Get out of the way! Can’t you see I’m leaving?”

Midway through his curse, he saw the knife in Lu Qing’s hand and froze, like a duck with its neck strangled. The rest of his curse froze.

Lu Qing looked at the scab on the man’s head and recalled the conversation he had overheard outside the village.

Without hesitation, he flicked his hand, and another head flew off.

Without even a chance to beg for mercy, the scabby man was beheaded.

Diving sideways to avoid the splattering blood, Lu Qing continued toward the wooden building.

He was now very close.

Two men armed with knives and clubs guarded the building’s lower gate.

Seeing this, they were startled and immediately ran towards him.

“What are you doing?”

He looked at the two men running towards him, but this time, Lu Qing didn’t use his knife again.

Instead, he crouched slightly. The next moment, a powerful surge of energy erupted within him, his feet leaving two footprints on the hard ground. His body suddenly vanished, and he rushed towards the two men at breakneck speed.

Then, as the two men drew close, two bangs, accompanied by a series of cracking bones, sent the two guards flying backwards at an even faster speed.

They smashed through the wooden building’s door and into the building, drawing countless screams.

Amidst the screams, Lu Qing entered the building. Xiao Li, who was on his shoulder, had vanished.

Upon entering, Lu Qing took a quick glance and saw the scene clearly.

The first floor of the building was spacious.

It looked like a gambling hall, but the large table in the center, filled with various gambling equipment, had been smashed to pieces by the bodies of the two guards he had kicked in. Various gambling chips and small coins were scattered all over the floor.

Various gamblers, including the scantily clad girl, dodged in panic.

Seeing Lu Qing enter, everyone turned to look at him.

At that moment, a voice filled with hostility rang out from above.

“Who dares to cause trouble in my Happy Village?!”

Lu Qing looked up at the people emerging from the second floor, especially the tall figure at the head.

Suddenly, he grinned, “Of course, it’s the one who’s going to kill you!”
