Ambush Halfway!

Chapter 47: Ambush!

Qin Yang, familiar with the route, arrived at Xiabai Town and obtained the Earth Spirit Pearl for this lifetime.

With this, he now possessed two Earth Spirit Pearls!

"That's enough. Time is almost up, so I should head towards Linhai Town to find Tan Yurou."

"They captured about fifteen or sixteen people, so their group must be quite large, making them easy to spot!"

Qin Yang mused, then immediately set off.

The journey from Xiabai Town to Linhai Town spanned over thirty li.

He remained cautious throughout, keeping an eye out for larger groups. Finally, as he neared Linhai Town, he encountered Lu Xun and Chang Er.

Following behind Lu Xun and Chang Er were the group of young boys and girls who had been deceived and captured.

Panicked and young, this was their first time leaving home so far away. Many of the children cried incessantly, begging to go home, and some even tried to run away!

"Hmph, you've already become our Medicinal Seeds, do you think you can just leave whenever you please?!"

"Die!"

Lu Xun gave chase, completely disregarding the strange looks from passersby. He immediately smashed the heads of several fleeing youths.

Witnessing their companions, also captured, have their heads blown apart and bodies left unburied, the entire group fell into even greater panic. However, they dared not make a sound, only shedding tears of regret in silence.

"Hehehe, it's good that you know how to fear death."

"Since you've followed us, you belong to us now."

"If anyone wants to falter halfway, those few just now were your fate!"

Lu Xun warned coldly, causing the faces of the dozen or so captured youths to turn pale and bloodless.

Now, who among them would dare to resist or run?

Chang Er's sneer intensified as he observed the scene.

"Hehehe, truly a group who won't shed tears until they see the coffin."

"Others wish they had the chance to become our Medicinal Seeds, but you have Spirit Roots within you and can cultivate. You should be grateful!"

He said coldly, licking his lips, already eager to get his hands on a Medicinal Seed to taste.

"Let's go. Don't cause any more trouble on the road."

"Don't forget we've been out hunting for Medicinal Seeds for several days. I imagine Master's medicinal ingredients are running low."

Lu Xun saw through Chang Er's thoughts and reminded him.

Chang Er then restrained himself somewhat and quickened his pace.

Behind them, within the crowd of captured youths, was Tan Yurou.

She wore a clean and neat purple outfit, and her extraordinary demeanor made her stand out among the other youths. Her delicate and flawless face was filled with anger, but more so with frustration and unwillingness. She racked her brain, trying to escape.

"Senior Sister and the others are still in Linhai Town. They definitely don't know I've been captured by evil cultivators right now."

"But there's still a chance. We've only just left Linhai Town not long ago. As long as I create a significant commotion, I'm sure to attract attention."

"If Senior Sister Zhao and the others notice something amiss, they'll surely rescue me from this predicament!"

With that thought, Tan Yurou seized an opportunity. Noticing that Lu Xun and Chang Er were not paying attention, she decisively broke away from the group and ran back in the direction they came from.

As she ran, she didn't forget to shout loudly, hoping to attract attention.

However, the people traveling along this road, even ordinary folk, were already accustomed to such sights. Knowing they couldn't intervene, they pretended not to see or hear anything, ignoring her pleas.

"It's over, why is no one helping me?"

Tan Yurou had hoped for help, wishing someone would step forward to assist her.

Unexpectedly, everyone she encountered actively avoided her!

At this moment, Lu Xun and Chang Er behind her had already noticed the commotion. Seeing that a Medicinal Seed still dared to escape despite their warnings, Lu Xun's eyes instantly turned cold!

"Seeking death!"

Swish!

Lu Xun channeled his powerful cultivation, covering the distance in just a few steps, and immediately gave chase at top speed.

"Get lost!"

Tan Yurou's face turned ashen with shock.

She resisted with all her might, but Lu Xun's strength was far superior to hers.

"Bitch, you still dare to run!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you're different from the others, I would have extracted your marrow and ground your bones today!"

Lu Xun captured Tan Yurou in just two exchanges and then cruelly threw her to the ground. The once pristine Tan Yurou immediately became disheveled, with a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Despicable evil cultivators, demons!"

"If you have the guts, kill me directly and give me a quick end!"

Tan Yurou screamed. Even at this point, she hadn't given up on making a big scene, hoping to attract the attention of the people in town.

Unfortunately, Lu Xun immediately moved to seal her mouth shut.

"Want to die? It's not that easy."

"You're different from the others. You're definitely a special prospect. Your life is no longer yours to control!"

Lu Xun said emotionlessly.

This statement plunged Tan Yurou into further despair. She had heard since childhood that evil cultivators outside were all vicious and would do anything.

She had originally thought she wouldn't encounter an evil cultivator.

She never expected that just a little bit of playing around would lead her into their clutches. She regretted it immensely. If only she had stayed with Senior Sister Zhao and the others, she wouldn't have been tricked away by an evil cultivator. Now, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to!

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Tan Yurou's eyes.

But just as everyone was listless and filled with despair, a figure suddenly approached from a distance and launched a surprise attack!

"Who is this suicidal fool, daring to ruin our good deed?!"

Lu Xun, being at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer, was the first to react and coldly looked over.

Qin Yang said nothing and charged forward.

When Lu Xun and Chang Er saw the familiar face before them, they were both shocked.

Wasn't this the medicinal seed their Master had personally captured from outside before? How could he be here?!

"It's you?!"

Chang Er exclaimed in shock, but there was no time to ponder what was happening, as Qin Yang had already charged straight at him.

This enraged him.

Just a medicinal seed, who had luckily escaped, dared to attack him? Did he think he was a pushover?!

"You're asking for death!"

Chang Er immediately attacked.

However, Qin Yang's strength far exceeded his expectations. They had only just clashed, and his hand bones were already broken.

Before he could even scream, Qin Yang punched through his chest!
