"Who goes there..."

"Ah!"

The screams were incessant.

Many members of the Wang Family had barely caught a glimpse of Lu Li before they were blasted apart by his fists, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The Huang Family had indeed suffered a crushing defeat.

Every time Lu Li arrived on the scene, only a handful of people remained.

Thus, Lu Li challenged all the Wang Family disciples single-handedly.

However, Lu Li was now on the verge of breaking through to the Organ-Refining Realm, and having mastered his movement techniques to perfection, his true combat power far exceeded that of the Organ-Refining Realm.

Lu Li estimated that if he went all out, he would only be a hair's breadth weaker than the Eldest Miss.

Once he broke through to the Organ-Refining Realm, his strength would far surpass hers.

By then, beating the Eldest Miss would be as easy as picking up a chick.

Encountering these Wang Family disciples was like a wolf entering a sheepfold.

Killing them was second nature, requiring no effort at all.

After he hammered a few to death, the rest were so terrified by his overwhelming ferocity that they fled in a panic.

It was the same story across every district he visited.

The Eldest Miss stood on the pavilion, taking it all in.

Her desire to recruit him grew ever stronger, and seeing the Blood Ghost moving further and further away, her anxiety deepened.

"Father, look. Could the Blood Ghost have a grudge against the Wang Family? He kills only their people and has never attacked us, even helping us out of righteousness."

"The enemy of an enemy is a friend. If we don't recruit him now, he'll be gone!"

"This..." Huang He hesitated.

While that was true, he couldn't be sure what kind of person this Blood Ghost really was.

He was reluctant to let his daughter take the risk.

Lu Li wandered through several streets, but found no sign of the people on the bounty list. He hadn't even found much silver after looting the corpses, and his mood was souring.

Suddenly, a large group of men came charging toward him in a grand procession.

This made Lu Li arch his brows and break into a smile.

With such a display, the person leading them must be an expert—surely someone on the bounty list!

Indeed, as the group drew closer, Lu Li saw who it was.

The leader was a burly man with thick brows, dressed in fine cyan robes that exuded an air of nobility.

It was none other than Wang Yu, the eldest son of the Wang Family.

Lu Li rejoiced inwardly; he had searched high and low, only to find it without any effort at all!

Wang Ju had no heirs; if he died, the Wang Family's power would be reshuffled, with the third branch's Wang Buju taking the lead.

Wang Buju had three sons.

The eldest, Wang Yu, was the Wang Family's greatest genius, having already broken through to the Organ-Refining Realm; he was the undisputed heir to the family.

"You are the Blood Ghost? I heard you were looking for me," he asked coldly, his brow filled with an unquenchable killing intent.

Within that killing intent was a trace of arrogance and disdain, his nose held high in the air.

He looked at Lu Li as if looking down from above.

According to the coroner's assessment, if his uncle hadn't succumbed to poison, the outcome of their fight would have been uncertain.

This Blood Ghost only knew how to use dirty tricks; he was nothing special!

He had cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body, making his skin, flesh, and internal organs as hard as metal—impervious to blades, fire, and water.

Want to kill him?

Hmph, wishful thinking!

He sized up Lu Li, and Lu Li sized him up in return.

"Wang Yu, Organ-Refining Realm, practitioner of the Vajra Indestructible Body. Worth a thousand taels of silver. Not bad, not bad—enough to buy a Dragon Essence Pill," Lu Li remarked with a click of his tongue.

Wang Yu was exceptionally gifted; in Changfeng County, few could compare to him, and he was a proud man.

Hearing this, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he flew into a rage.

"Blood Ghost, how dare you be so arrogant! I will have your life!" he roared.

"Pay for the blood debt of my Wang Family disciples!"

With a shout, he tapped his toes against the ground, shattering the stone slabs beneath him, and launched himself at Lu Li like a cannonball.

His fists shimmered with a faint metallic luster, glinting coldly in the dark of the night.

The torrent of aura that erupted stirred up gusts of wild wind, sending the surrounding snow scattering in all directions.

Lu Li remained expressionless, his blood and qi surging. His body erupted with rolling thunderous sounds as his spine, the great dragon, awakened. He spread his legs, rooting himself like an ancient tree, drawing power from the earth!

He threw a punch with all his might, and the two currents of air tore into each other first, emitting a teeth-grinding friction.

The next instant, their bare fists collided, producing a heaven-shaking boom and sending sparks flying everywhere.

The terrifying force was enough to make the very earth tremble.

Wang Yu's brows furrowed tightly; a needle-like pain radiated from his fist.

Lu Li's force surged into his entire arm, making his bones and flesh ache dully.

Panic gripped his heart; he had not expected his opponent to be even stronger than him!

He had clearly been able to kill his uncle with ease, yet he had still resorted to such underhanded tactics—truly despicable!

After a few more seconds of stalemate, his entire arm began to go numb, the excruciating pain feeling as if it were being crushed on a millstone.

He immediately began to lose his nerve.

Though proud, he was not about to throw his life away for nothing.

Realizing the situation was untenable, he decided to abandon the attempt to kill Lu Li, hurriedly pulling back his fist and turning to flee.

But Lu Li flashed, pushing his Flying Swallow Step to the limit, and appeared behind him with ease.

He brought a palm down toward Wang Yu's head.

The palm stirred up a slight breeze, ruffling the tips of Wang Yu's hair.

Wang Yu's spirit trembled, his scalp tingling, and he instinctively raised his arm to block the side of his head.

Then, Wang Yu felt a violent force slam into him, and his body immediately spun out of control, crashing through a wall.

Lu Li deployed the Flying Swallow Step again, following closely behind, and unleashed a punch from above, crashing down toward Wang Yu.

Wang Yu spat blood, struggling to defend himself.

Although his body was as hard as steel, he was ultimately made of flesh and blood; having been struck by Lu Li repeatedly, he had reached his limit.

The pain grew increasingly intense, twisting his face into a hideous grimace.

"What the hell are you all staring at? Attack!" he roared from where he lay.

However, the Wang Family subordinates looked at one another, their feet shifting, but none dared to take a single step forward.

If even the young master was being beaten like a dead dog, what right did they have to step in?

They would only be cannon fodder.

Thus, none dared to approach.

Wang Yu spat blood, frantic and exasperated.

His eyes were bloodshot, looking as if he were on the verge of an explosion.

But no matter how much strength he exerted, he could not bridge the gap in their power.

Pinned firmly beneath Lu Li, he was like a helpless girl being ravaged, unable to fight back at all.

Finally, Lu Li slapped him across the face, leaving his cheek burning with pain and swelling up like a pig's head, which also instantly brought him back to his senses.

"Blood Ghost, I surrender! Please, spare me, I will definitely offer you an apology!" Wang Yu stammered, his words slurred.

"You shouldn't be begging for mercy. What you should be doing now is dropping your defenses so I can send you to the afterlife sooner and save you from further suffering," Lu Li said coldly, the force in his hand growing heavier.

Wang Yu shrieked and wailed, his heart trembling with terror; he already regretted why he had been so overconfident as to provoke this star of slaughter!

He was a genius with a bright future ahead of him!

He was terrified to the extreme, so scared he lost control of his bowels.

In the end, Lu Li finally broke through his defenses completely, smashed his head in with a punch, and tore off his ears before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
