The sudden change left Lu Yu stunned.
The woman in black, her face covered with a mask, coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the black veil with an eerie color.
She looked up at Lu Yu, her brows slightly furrowed. She spoke in a low voice, “What are you looking at? Leave here quickly!”
Her voice was cold, with a hint of indifference, but Lu Yu could detect a touch of goodwill in her words. It seemed like she was afraid of him getting caught up in the danger.
After all, the disciples of the Blood Blade Sect were notorious for harming innocents.
If a dog on the roadside displeased them, they would slash it with their blades for fun.
After speaking, the woman in black turned to face the five monks in yellow robes who were chasing her.
“Little girl! Can't run anymore, can you? Be a good girl and listen to us. It'll save you some suffering. Otherwise, you'll be begging for your life!”
The yellow-robed monk said coldly, glancing at Lu Yu.
Seeing Lu Yu’s young age and simple, rough linen clothing, he immediately dismissed him as an ordinary person.
“In your dreams! Even if I die, I won’t go with you!”
The woman in black spoke, already drawing her long sword.
“Oh, little girl, you’re quite spicy! I’m getting more and more curious about what the face under your mask looks like. Just from your figure, I can tell you’re a good catch, but whether you’re top-tier, we’ll have to see your face.”
“Big Brother is right!”
“Hahaha!”
The yellow-robed monks burst into crude laughter, their expressions becoming more lecherous, making the woman in black even angrier!
“Looking for death!”
In her fury, the woman in black charged with her sword.
Her martial arts were not weak, but the palm strike she delivered earlier had injured her tendons and bones. At most, she could only utilize seven tenths of her strength.
Facing the five Blood Blade Sect disciples’ combined attack, she quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The woman in black thrust her sword forward, but the yellow-robed monk deflected it with his curved blade. The other four took the opportunity to launch their attack, attempting to subdue her in one fell swoop.
But at this moment, the woman in black raised her left hand, and three short arrows shot out from her sleeve!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At such close range, the arrows directly struck the yellow-robed monk in the chest.
“Ah!”
The yellow-robed monk screamed, instantly lifeless.
“Big Brother!”
Everyone was shocked, then enraged.
“Damn it! You dare kill my Big Brother! Everyone, attack! Don’t kill her, subdue her and then torture her good!”
Seeing their comrade killed, the remaining Blood Blade Sect disciples were furious. They had lost their playful mood and immediately attacked with full force.
Tear!
The woman in black tried her best to dodge, but her left arm was still slashed by a blade. The cloth tore open, revealing her snow-white arm and a wound that was three inches long. Blood flowed profusely.
At the same time, a foot kicked the woman in black in the back, sending her flying!
Suffering from multiple wounds, the woman in black could no longer hold on and fainted.
“Hmph! You dare kill my Big Brother, this is what you deserve! Tie her up! We’ll send her to the Old Ancestor. After the Old Ancestor enjoys her, we’ll get a taste too.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and agreed.
“Kid, what are you doing standing there watching the show for so long, enjoying yourself?”
The Blood Blade Sect disciples finally noticed Lu Yu and coldly addressed him.
“It’s alright. But you guys, a bunch of big men ganging up on a girl, that’s just shameful.”
Lu Yu laughed.
“Stinky kid! You’re looking for death, aren’t you? Fine, I’ll grant you your wish! It’s been a while since I ate human flesh. You look pretty good, you should taste pretty good too.”
The yellow-robed monk sneered and raised his blood blade, slowly approaching Lu Yu.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu’s face showed a hint of coldness.
Eat human flesh?
These Blood Blade Sect disciples, truly not a single one of them was good.
For a moment, a sense of killing intent arose within Lu Yu’s heart.
Facing these beasts that ate human flesh, it was truly difficult to control his emotions.
If it was hard to control, then he wouldn’t control it.
The yellow-robed monk got closer and closer to Lu Yu, but he didn’t see fear on Lu Yu’s face. Instead, he felt a sense of danger.
This feeling made him quite uneasy.
But his contempt for Lu Yu still drove him to swing his blade.
“Die! Stinky kid! In your next life, remember to learn to read people’s expressions!”
The curved blade roared through the air, but when it fell, Lu Yu had disappeared.
The yellow-robed monk’s pupils contracted. That sense of unease reached its peak.
“No good!”
He knew he had stepped on a landmine.
But it was too late.
The next moment, he felt his vision spinning, and he even saw a headless body.
That body looked so familiar, it was identical to him.
In the eyes of the others, a large head soared into the sky, incredibly intimidating.
The three who were binding the woman in black were all startled when they saw this.
They saw that Lu Yu, they didn’t know when, had snatched the yellow-robed monk’s curved blade. He had used it to directly decapitate the monk with a backhand swing.
Cattle-Slaying Sword Technique, First Strike.
“You!”
The Blood Blade Sect disciples, although accustomed to killing, were still shocked by this sight.
Who is this guy?
Why is he so merciless?
Just as they were about to be on guard, they saw Lu Yu’s figure move like the wind, directly charging forward from his spot. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of them.
Shwoo!
Lu Yu’s figure passed through the three, the curved blade still in his hand.
Looking at the three again, a bloody gash appeared on their necks.
“So… fast…”
With expressions of disbelief, Lu Yu dropped the curved blade. The ground was now littered with three corpses.
Catching the Wind and Shadow, combined with the Cattle-Slaying Sword Technique. Killing these Blood Blade Sect disciples was simply child’s play.
“It’s a good thing no one else was around, or it would have been a bit troublesome.”
Lu Yu murmured to himself and walked to the woman in black.
Hmm, still breathing.
“Black mask, uses hidden weapons, proficient in swordsmanship, quick-tempered. This woman is most likely Mu Wan Qing, right?”
Lu Yu murmured to himself.
Through his observations, Lu Yu couldn’t help but draw this conclusion.
Whether it was correct or not, he would only know when the woman woke up.
“Since you let me leave earlier, I’ll be a good person and help you out.”
After speaking, Lu Yu didn’t immediately tend to the woman in black, instead, he went over to the bodies of the Blood Blade Sect disciples and started searching.
“Heh, these guys are actually quite rich. There are more than a hundred taels of silver notes and ten or so taels of loose silver. Sure enough, killing and robbing is the fastest way to make money.
I guess this is a black-on-black heist, right?”
Lu Yu chuckled. After collecting the money, he put it away and carried the woman in black away.
As for these corpses lying all over the ground, he didn’t bother to deal with them.
When someone discovered the bodies, they would immediately report it to the Magistrate. At that time, Xing Bu Tou would be the one to handle it.
Speaking of which, Lu Yu had once again provided a merit for Xing Bu Tou.
But this time, he didn’t plan to claim it.
Because this time he had killed, if the people of Seven Heroes Town found out, they might be afraid of him.
Lu Yu didn’t want to be remembered that way by his hometown people.
When Xing Bu Tou saw these corpses, he would only think they were the result of a conflict between martial arts practitioners.
After all, this sort of thing was too common in the martial arts world.
And he killed the wicked Blood Blade Sect disciples, there was no need to investigate. He just needed to bring the bodies back to the Magistrate’s Office and claim his reward.
