A lecherous gleam appeared in Beggar Chief's eyes as he looked the only little girl up and down. He laughed. "Good, very good. Tender and delicate—enough to make even me feel pity!"
He stretched out a rough, broad hand, unable to resist stroking the little girl's cheek.
The little girl's face was full of terror. Tears shimmered in her eyes as she trembled all over.
"Did no one notice?"
Beggar Chief asked.
"Well... it seemed her mother saw us."
The middle-aged beggar replied uneasily.
"Foolishness!"
Beggar Chief's tone sank. "Go deal with her mother. Don't let the government officials notice!"
"I'll have someone do it right away!"
The middle-aged beggar nodded. "By the way, the remaining two boys..."
"Break all four limbs and stuff them into jars. Two of our Jar People just died, so use them to fill the gaps."
Beggar Chief said.
"Yes!"
The middle-aged beggar gave a savage grin. He took a sharp longsword from the side and, beneath the terrified gazes of the two little boys, prepared to chop off their limbs.
Just then!
Crack!
The hall doors were smashed open. A panicked beggar rushed in, his face filled with terror. "Beggar Chief, this is bad! Someone has come killing his way in! He's already wounded seven or eight of our brothers!"
"Hm?"
Beggar Chief's expression changed drastically. He whipped his head around and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The middle-aged beggar who had been about to swing his blade also froze and turned around sharply. "Could a martial artist have broken in?"
They had never offended any martial artist. Why would one come barging in?
"I don't know... Ah!"
Bang!
The doors shattered. A huge stone was hurled inside, smashing viciously into the beggar's back.
He screamed and flew forward, crashing into the wall and turning into a puddle of bloody pulp.
He could not have been any deader!
All the beggars in the hall were instantly horrified. They simply could not believe it.
"Wang Biao!"
What kind of strength was that?
He had been smashed directly into mush!
"Grab your weapons!"
Beggar Chief roared.
The remaining beggars hurried behind a statue, pulling out steel sabers, steel spears, bows, arrows, and other deadly weapons.
They were beggars, but that did not mean they were truly poor.
On the contrary, they were quite wealthy.
Their group was large, and money came quickly. Stealing chickens and dogs, climbing walls and breaking into homes—they committed every evil imaginable.
They even frequently kidnapped people and sent them to brothels.
The profits from all this were extraordinarily rich.
Thus, to strengthen themselves, they had long since secretly purchased a great many weapons.
Beggar Chief had even established ties with the Giant Shark Gang and obtained martial arts from them.
Of course, Zhao Shan did not know about this.
Otherwise, he could not possibly have failed to tell Lu Chen.
Amid the chaos of the many beggars, Lu Chen walked in from outside.
Behind him stood the plainly dressed woman from earlier.
The moment she saw her daughter tied up on the ground, tears streamed down her face. She hurried over and cried, "My child!"
One of the beggars' faces turned cold, and a venomous look appeared in his eyes. He suddenly rushed out, thrusting a dagger toward the woman's abdomen.
But though he was fast, someone was faster!
Slap!
Lu Chen appeared before him almost instantly and slapped him across the face. The beggar screamed as all the teeth in his mouth flew out, blood spraying everywhere.
Before his body could fly backward, Lu Chen grabbed him and yanked him back. Two fingers stabbed into his eyes, blinding him on the spot.
Then Lu Chen swiftly broke all four of his limbs and hurled him away. With a bang, he crashed into the corner of the wall, barely clinging to life.
[You taught a wicked beggar a lesson, Merit Points +5]
The horrifying sight made every beggar in the hall change expression. They backed away, sucking in cold breaths.
It was their first time seeing such a ruthless man.
Blinding eyes and breaking limbs—his movements flowed like drifting clouds and running water, far too fast!
In the past, they had always been the ones inflicting such punishments on others.
But today, the tables had actually turned!
"Are you Beggar Chief?"
Lu Chen fixed his gaze on the man in the center, cold light glittering in his eyes.
"Little brother, could there be some misunderstanding here? Does one of these children belong to your family? Take them away, hurry and take them away. We'll compensate you too. Let's just pretend this never happened. How about it?"
Beggar Chief hurriedly said.
"Pretend it never happened?"
Lu Chen sneered. "You dug out my brother's eyes and broke both his legs, and you want to pretend it never happened? If I slaughtered you, could we pretend that never happened too?"
Whoosh!
His body shot out like an afterimage.
The beggars around him changed expression, and almost none of them could react in time.
But Beggar Chief was indeed someone who had practiced martial arts. With an angry roar, both his arms instantly turned crimson, like red-hot iron rods.
He struck out with both palms, smashing them viciously forward. Bang!
A thunderous explosion rang out, and ripples burst through the air.
Beggar Chief was knocked backward on the spot. His feet scraped across the ground as he retreated several meters, slamming hard into the table behind him.
"Hm? He's practiced martial arts!"
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed as his body abruptly halted.
After just one exchange, he felt his fist burning as though it had been scalded.
Beggar Chief's martial art was definitely stronger than Lu Chen's Galloping Horse Fist.
Fortunately, Lu Chen possessed the [Convince with Virtue] talent. His skin was thick, his flesh tough, and his strength immense.
He charged at Beggar Chief again.
"Attack!"
Beggar Chief screamed in terror. His palms stung fiercely, and his wrists felt as though they were about to break. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The remaining beggars flung out lime powder, sending it flying everywhere.
Lu Chen reacted with incredible speed. He no longer held back, relying on his tremendous strength to begin a slaughter.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
People continuously vomited blood and flew backward, screaming as the bones and tendons throughout their bodies shattered. It was a horrific sight, as though they were nothing but torn burlap sacks.
Even with weapons in their hands, it was useless. They could not get anywhere near him.
One after another, they were like figures made of paper, dying miserably without end.
Beggar Chief watched with terror in his eyes, utterly unable to believe it. He hurriedly turned to flee.
God of Slaughter!
This truly was a God of Slaughter!
How had they provoked such a terrifying God of Slaughter today? Whoosh!
Just as he was about to escape, Lu Chen viciously hurled a corpse at his back.
Relying on his many years of martial arts experience, Beggar Chief quickly dodged aside and narrowly evaded it.
With a bang, the corpse smashed into the ground, and a thousand, ten thousand peach blossoms bloomed.
"Run slowly. I'll kill while I chase!"
Lu Chen said mockingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his brow furrowed.
There was no one left in any direction.
Nearly all the beggars had been killed by him.
[You killed a wicked beggar, Merit Points +3] [You killed a..., Merit Points +3] [You killed...+3]...
Lines of text kept appearing.
"No one left? Then it's your turn!"
Lu Chen stared at Beggar Chief, his face gloomy. His body shot forward, and with a boom, he crossed dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, carrying incomparably violent force as he smashed at Beggar Chief's body.
"Bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"
Beggar Chief's face twisted. He let out a furious roar and activated the [Crimson Sand Palm] he had painstakingly cultivated for years. His palms glowed bright red as he met Lu Chen's body head-on.
Crack!
Bang!
Another dull impact rang out.
This time, Beggar Chief could no longer endure it. He screamed as both palms were smashed to pieces beneath Lu Chen's divine strength.
Broken bones and shredded flesh flew wildly as his body was sent flying, smashing through the wall and landing behind it.
Lu Chen felt a slight numbness in his fist. Then he leaped up and swiftly gave chase.
The moment he landed, his brow furrowed, and suspicion appeared on his face.
In the backyard, one enormous wine jar after another had been placed there.
Beggar Chief's body had smashed apart one of the wine jars. His face twisted in agony as he wailed miserably on the ground.
A large amount of white powder had spilled from the jar.
"What is this?"
Suspicion filled Lu Chen's face. He walked forward, grabbed a handful of the white powder, and examined it carefully.
"Spare me. I have ties with the Giant Shark Gang. This is all Carefree Powder stored here by the Giant Shark Gang. They had us secretly transport it out for them. Please spare me. If you kill me, the Giant Shark Gang won't let you off..."
Beggar Chief cried out in pain.
"Carefree Powder?"
Lu Chen's expression changed slightly.
He immediately realized what it was.
Damn it!
It was drugs!
Good, good, good!
Destroying this stuff would bring him another huge haul of Merit Points.
