Chapter 18
The Wulin Wanted Manual

“Blood Knife Sect?”

Lu Yu was surprised when he heard this.

Why would someone from the Blood Knife Sect appear in Seven Heroes Town?

Seeing Lu Yu standing there, the yellow-robed monk thought he was scared by the Blood Knife Sect’s infamy. He immediately boasted, “What? Are you afraid? Be sensible and hand over the beauty beside you, and the Buddha Master can spare your life. Otherwise, this precious sword has yet to be stained with blood today.”

“This is Great Ming’s Seven Heroes Town, not a place for your Blood Knife Sect to run wild. If you truly want your precious sword stained with blood, I can wipe your own neck.”

Lu Yu sneered.

“You arrogant brat! No one dares to speak to my Blood Knife Sect like this! You’re asking for death!”

The yellow-robed monk was furious and immediately charged at Lu Yu with his curved saber in hand.

This is the Jianghu.

People draw their swords at each other without a word.

Seeing this, Huang Rong was about to make a move but was stopped by Lu Yu.

“Let me handle this. I haven’t gone all out against anyone yet. I want to test my skills.”

“Alright. But be careful. This guy’s strength is around the late Second-Rate level.”

Huang Rong didn’t refuse, clearly believing that Lu Yu had a chance to win.

Lu Yu nodded slightly.

As they spoke, the yellow-robed monk’s curved saber had already slashed down.

The moment the saber was close, Lu Yu smelled a strong stench of blood.

This curved saber had clearly been stained with the blood of countless innocent people, no amount of washing could get rid of it.

Lu Yu furrowed his brow, his feet moved like the wind, and the first move of the Wind God Leg, “Catching the Wind and Grasping Shadows” was immediately executed.

He was like a wisp of clear wind, silently slipping past, causing the saber attack to miss its target.

The yellow-robed monk clearly didn’t expect this attack to miss, he was somewhat surprised.

“Good kid, you have some skills! Now see the Buddha Master’s Blood Knife Art!”

The saber’s attack changed and launched another offensive.

One slash after another, the attacks were relentless, the techniques were bizarre and ruthless, aiming for vital points every time.

Lu Yu didn’t launch a counterattack, he only continued to use “Catching the Wind and Grasping Shadows” to dodge, dancing on the edge of the knife, narrowly avoiding every strike.

Seeing the fight, those around immediately distanced themselves to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

They were used to this kind of thing.

Every now and then, there would be Jianghu figures brawling in the streets, even murder was possible.

Huang Rong watched the fight from the side, becoming more and more surprised.

“Lu Yu’s light footwork is amazing, it’s probably not below the Earth rank, maybe even higher. And why does it feel like his cultivation has increased quite a bit compared to yesterday. Did he breakthrough?”

With this question in her mind, Huang Rong continued to watch, she realized Lu Yu’s movements were becoming more and more skillful, his dodges were changing from barely avoiding to being effortlessly smooth.

“He’s actually improving his light footwork during the battle?”

Upon discovering this, Huang Rong was even more astonished.

She considered herself to be naturally talented, but she didn’t like to put in the hard work, so her cultivation wasn’t very high.

Even if she was serious, she couldn’t do it like Lu Yu, rapidly increasing her proficiency in her martial arts during battle.

“What kind of person is he exactly?”

Huang Rong became even more curious about Lu Yu.

At this time, Lu Yu had already reached the Great Completion stage of “Catching the Wind and Grasping Shadows” in the midst of battle.

As the yellow-robed monk slashed down with another saber attack, Lu Yu felt it was time to end the fight.

He flashed, disappearing right as the saber struck.

“Where did he go?”

The yellow-robed monk was shocked, he didn’t even realize how Lu Yu disappeared.

The next moment, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind.

“Bad!”

He knew it was bad, quickly turning around, blocking his curved saber in front of him for defense.

But the moment he turned, he saw countless leg attack afterimages!

Wind Amidst Grass!

Lu Yu kicked out, but it transformed into countless afterimages.

In an instant, the yellow-robed monk felt like the curved saber blocking him was kicked dozens of times in a row, and every strike landed with force.

The leg strength, transmitted through the saber, landed on his body, breaking several of his ribs.

The final kick landed on his dantian.

Puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out of the yellow-robed monk’s mouth, his body violently retreated dozens of steps, kneeling on the ground.

Fortunately, the people around had already dispersed, no one was caught in the crossfire.

“What strong legwork!”

Huang Rong’s eyes lit up.

When facing Guo Fu Rong, Lu Yu’s cultivation wasn’t high enough, the power he displayed was limited.

Now, not only has his cultivation increased, but his understanding of “Wind Amidst Grass” has also reached the Perfect stage, its power is naturally much stronger than before.

With that strike, he directly severely injured the yellow-robed monk.

“You… You actually crippled my martial arts!”

The yellow-robed monk looked at Lu Yu with a hint of fear in his eyes.

This guy, who clearly didn’t seem very cultivated, how could he be so powerful?

And his strike was so ruthless, directly crippling his martial arts.

Lu Yu was expressionless, he didn’t bother with him.

“What are you doing? Crowding around a group of people here?”

At this time, Xing Bu Tou noticed the commotion, he immediately ran over and questioned them.

“Xing Bu Tou!”

Seeing this, Lu Yu stopped attacking, instead, he waved his hand and greeted Xing Bu Tou.

“Little Lu? How come it’s you? What exactly happened here?”

Looking at the yellow-robed monk who was spitting blood, Xing Bu Tou was confused.

“Xing Bu Tou, this guy was harassing a woman, he was about to kill me, he’s extremely vicious. And he’s a villain from the Blood Knife Sect!

I’ve already subdued him, you should take him back to the yamen and compare him to the Jianghu Wanted List issued by the Six Gates. You’ll definitely find his name on it.”

Jianghu affairs should be settled in the Jianghu, but if Jianghu figures attack civilians, then the court should take care of it.

Great Ming’s Six Gates and the Dragon Guard both have divisions that are responsible for this.

The so-called Jianghu Wanted List is a record of Jianghu villains with outstanding cases.

If one can catch them and turn them in to the court, they can receive a reward.

This is also a way for the court to use Jianghu forces to deal with Jianghu villains.

There are even Jianghu figures who specialize in this, they are known as Sword Catchers.

“A Blood Knife Sect villain?”

Xing Bu Tou was surprised.

If it was other evil cults, they might not be on the Jianghu Wanted List, but if it was a Blood Knife Sect villain, they would definitely be on the list.

Because even in the magic path, the Blood Knife Sect’s reputation was extremely bad.

Their disciples were all wicked and evil, most of them were lustful.

It could be said that the whole sect was full of flower thieves, and none of them had not stained their hands with blood.

“Is he really from the Blood Knife Sect?”

Xing Bu Tou was both surprised and happy, he couldn’t help but want to confirm again.

Lu Yu nodded, saying, “He admitted it himself, there’s no mistake. And look at these clothes and this curved saber, if it’s not the Blood Knife Sect, what else could it be?”

“Yes, yes! Haha! I’m so lucky today! Little Lu, thank you, thank you! I’ll split the bounty with you when we get it.”

“Then thank you, Xing Bu Tou.”

Lu Yu laughed.

“You’re welcome, haha! We didn’t catch the Male and Female Assassins, but with this Blood Knife Sect villain, it’s still a great achievement!”

Xing Bu Tou, after his joy, directly went forward and grabbed the yellow-robed monk.

The yellow-robed monk tried to resist, but his martial arts had already been crippled by Lu Yu, he was now weaker than a normal person, how could he break free from Xing Bu Tou’s grasp.

“You little brat! Dare to not leave your name! My Blood Knife Sect will never let you go!”

Seeing this, the yellow-robed monk roared in anger.
