Slaying

Lu Shui did not listen to a word Zhen Ling said.

He merely watched those people calmly. Since so many had come, he would see what they wanted.

Qiao Gan was helped to his feet. He angrily said to the person beside him,

"Do I look like I'm fine?"

Seeing their young master beaten like this, they were furious as well. A middle-aged man looked at Lu Shui and said,

"Young Master Lu, on the way here, we did not see our young master cause Young Master Lu any harm. Isn't it excessive for you to strike someone directly like this?

We are guests of your Third Elder, after all. Is this how the Lu Family treats its guests?"

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling frowned. If that was how they put it, they were finished.

If this matter of hospitality was pinned on them, they would definitely be punished.

Lu Shui felt nothing. He merely looked calmly at the middle-aged man and said,

"What do you think should be done?"

The middle-aged man remained respectful and polite.

"Please have Young Master Lu apologize, then let our young master return the two slaps."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Qiao Gan immediately said,

"That's right. You hit me, I hit you. There's nothing wrong with that."

Lu Shui glanced at the middle-aged man's waist. A tiny banner hung there.

Blood Fiend Banner. Tsk, tsk. Was the Qiao Family out of people? They actually kept someone like this at their side.

A Blood Fiend Banner needed to be nourished with human blood. Every so often, people had to be killed.

He could be considered an evil cultivator.

Moreover, this Blood Fiend Banner had just been replenished.

An evil cultivator like this actually dared enter the Lu Family so openly?

Heh heh.

Then Lu Shui nodded at them.

"Fair and reasonable. But Zhen Wu was the one who acted. Are you going to hit Zhen Wu, or hit me?"

The moment Zhen Wu heard this, his heart went cold.

But being made to stand there and take a beating—why did that feel so hard to accept?

Zhen Wu gripped his sword tightly, then finally loosened his hold.

Zhen Ling's eyes were also filled with gloom.

Sure enough, they should never have gotten entangled with this young master.

Qiao Gan immediately said,

"You gave the order. Naturally, you share the responsibility."

Lu Shui looked at the middle-aged man.

"You think so too?"

The middle-aged man remained just as polite.

"We will listen to our young master."

Lu Shui nodded and sorted it out.

"So now, I apologize, then your young master hits me. And Zhen Wu also lets your young master hit him. Is that right?"

The middle-aged man frowned. He felt that the other party was being far too calm, but remembering Lu Shui's reputation, he still nodded.

"Yes, Young Master Lu."

Lu Shui nodded, then turned and left. Just as no one knew what Lu Shui intended to do, Lu Shui's Voice rang out.

"Kill them all. You have one minute."

With that, Lu Shui continued forward, utterly unconcerned by the shocked gazes behind him.

Even Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling had not expected their young master to give such an order. Zhen Wu had already prepared himself to be beaten.

But even in his dreams, he had never imagined that their young master would issue a Kill Order.

Hearing Lu Shui's words, the middle-aged man from the Qiao Family immediately said,

"Young Master Lu truly has no regard for anyone. Since Young Master Lu started this dispute, we can only—"

Before he could finish speaking, A Sword Light flashed past and sent the middle-aged man flying.

Zhen Wu had made his move.

No matter whether their young master was being unreasonable, no matter whether he was putting on a mysterious act, Zhen Wu drew his sword willingly this time.

One minute?

That was enough.

Zhen Wu had acted, and those people naturally followed suit.

Zhen Ling also struck directly at that moment.

Qiao Gan wet himself on the spot. Never had he imagined that the Lu Family's waste would be so fierce, actually issuing a Kill Order outright.

Wasn't he afraid?

This was practically declaring war on the Qiao Family.

If they really killed them, what kind of punishment would Lu Shui face?

Did he have to kill one thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of his own?

Had he become so useless that he was smashing the pot after it had already broken?

Qiao Gan felt that Lu Shui had become so crippled by failure that he had gone mad, biting anyone he saw. Had he known, he never would have provoked him.

Just as Qiao Gan was terrified, A Sword Light suddenly flashed before him. It had already reached his neck. If he did nothing, he would certainly die here.

In his desperation, Qiao Gan activated his Life-Protecting Magic Treasure.

With a bang, the Sword Light rebounded, but his Life-Protecting Magic Treasure shattered as well.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to get up at all. He felt that the ground beneath him had gone wet.

Fear sprouted in his heart. Those people truly wanted to kill him.

Mad. Mad. They had all gone mad.

"Ancestor Grandfather, s-save me."

Qiao Gan had no idea what he should do. He only knew to call for help. If he did not call for help, he would die.

He would die here for no reason at all.

Zhen Wu was dealing with the middle-aged man.

Hearing the other party call for help, Zhen Wu could only speed up.

The middle-aged man gave a cold laugh. So what if he was at a disadvantage?

Once that person arrived, who could kill him?

That fleeting thought gave Zhen Wu an absolute opening. Zhen Wu's Sword closed in directly before the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was greatly alarmed.

At that moment, an aura suddenly spread through the area, followed by a deep, powerful voice.

"Could everyone give this old man some face?"

The instant the voice arrived, Zhen Wu's Sword stopped at once. It was not that he did not want to strike; he simply could not move.

The same was true for Zhen Ling. She could not move either.

A Super Expert had arrived and directly restrained them.

Of course, everyone else was restrained by that power as well.

The middle-aged man instantly cast aside his fright. He looked at Zhen Wu with considerable pride. In the end?

He still had not suffered any harm.

They held absolute reason, and the unlucky one would still be the Young Master of the Lu Family.

Zhen Wu was somewhat unwilling. Since things had come to this, killing the other party would have been best.

Lu Shui watched everything. He closed the Heaven and Earth Array Patterns he had been reading and said calmly,

"Slash."

As Lu Shui's words fell, the restrained Zhen Wu suddenly felt himself regain his freedom. At this moment, he did not hesitate in the slightest and slashed down with his sword.

The middle-aged man, who had been feeling pleased with himself, once again had terror replace the expression in his eyes.

No, it should not be like this.

Why could he move?

With a bang, the middle-aged man was sent flying by the slash. He had never imagined that the other party's sword would truly come down.

Nor had he imagined that he would die here in the end.

Forget him—even Zhen Wu could not understand how he had broken free from the restraint.

He had only heard Lu Shui's Voice, but what kind of person Lu Shui was, did he not know that already?

It could not possibly have been because of that single word, slash, that he had regained his freedom. There was only one explanation.

Zhen Wu looked toward the Lu Family.

"Eh." At that moment, an Old Man appeared nearby with a girl.

He looked at where Zhen Wu stood, then looked toward the Lu Family, and a guess formed in his heart.

"Ancestor Grandfather." Qiao Gan scrambled and crawled behind the Old Man, then pointed at Lu Shui in fear. "He, he attacked us without distinguishing black from white."

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling naturally stood before Lu Shui at the first time, afraid that this suddenly appeared Senior would attack Lu Shui.

The Old Man naturally turned his gaze toward Lu Shui as well.

"You are Lu Family Young Master Lu Shui?"

There was a trace of pressure in his voice.

Lu Shui looked at the Old Man and naturally knew that he was an Expert, someone not easy to deal with.

But before he could speak, A Figure appeared in front of him. It was his father, Lu Gu.

"Old Senior Qiao, why have you come?" Lu Gu asked, neither humble nor overbearing.

The Old Man looked at Lu Gu.

"So it's Lu Gu. You've grown so much."

Then the Old Man looked toward the Lu Family.

"I should go see your Third Elder. The juniors' scuffle just now was a little noisy. I hope you will not take it too much to heart."

With that, the Old Man left with the others. By the way, he also dealt with the middle-aged man's corpse.

Lu Gu did not see any of his own people injured, so naturally he would not rashly anger the other party.
