In front of the Lu Family courtyard, there was complete silence.
All eyes were frozen in shock on the lifeless body of Han Wu, lying on the ground.
No one had anticipated that Lu Qing would suddenly take action, directly killing Han Wu on the spot.
Especially the villagers of Jiuli Village, they were both shocked and dumbfounded.
A mont ago, when they had seen an amiable Lu, seemingly ready to accept Han Wu's apology and let bygones be bygones, they had been filled with anxiety.
They feared that he would be duped by Han Wu's deceit and truly forgive these people.
Little did they expect that in the blink of an eye, Lu Qing would strike with lethal force, killing him with one palm strike.
Seeing Lu Qing maintain a calm deanor after killing a man, the villagers felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
Was this still the sa Ah Qing they saw every day, the one who greeted everyone with a smile, always humble and polite?
Lu Qing paid no attention to the villagers' stares; having killed Han Wu, he continued to focus his gaze on the remaining mbers of the Black Wolf Gang.
Those few Black Wolf Gang mbers shuddered to their core and knelt down.
"Good sir, good sir, spare my life!"
"Young master, this really isn't my business!"
"I was forced here by Master Wu and the others; I really didn't do anything!"
"I dare not ever again, please spare , young master, spare !"
"I'm asking you, how exactly did my parents die?" Lu Qing said indifferently.
"We don't know, young master, this whole thing was orchestrated by Master Wu and Seventh Master from start to finish, we had no clue about the details."
"All I know is that, initially, Master Wu and the others seed to want to force your mother into selling herself, driving her to drown herself in the river."
"As for anything else, we really have no idea, please, young master, spare us and give us a chance to nd our ways!"
Looking at the several big n in front of him, crying and sniveling, begging for rcy, Lu Qing's expression remained entirely unchanged.
Anyone who mixed with the likes of Han Wu couldn't be a good person.
Moreover, information he had previously ascertained through his Superpower told him that this group of people were all scum, not one of them innocent.
He shook his head; since there was nothing more to be learned, there was no reason to keep these scum alive.
Without any hesitation, Lu Qing's Qi-Blood burst forth, and he suddenly kicked out.
In the blink of an eye, he landed a kick each on the throat and temples of every Black Wolf Gang mber.
Following a series of bone-crunching sounds, the five remaining Black Wolf Gang mbers didn't even have ti to react. Their eyes bloodshot, they clutched their throats, twitching as they collapsed to the ground, soon falling silent.
From beginning to end, Lu Qing said not another word.
After confirming that everyone was dead, Lu Qing finally turned around to look at the villagers of Jiuli Village.
As for the mole-faced man, he didn't even need a glance; he was long dead.
Seeing Lu Qing turn around, the villagers involuntary stepped back.
There was no helping it, Lu Qing's actions had been too frightening.
So many ferocious disciples of the Black Wolf Gang had been killed or kicked to death in an instant.
The key was, after murdering so many, his expression barely changed.
Such a ruthless Lu Qing was sothing the villagers had never seen before.
Inevitably, they felt fear in their hearts.
Seeing the villagers' reactions, Lu Qing paused and then said as if nothing had happened,
"Grandpa Zhang, what should we do with these corpses?"
Elder Zhang, who had been covering Little Yan's eyes to prevent her from being scared, watched Lu Qing quietly for a mont. Once sure he was indeed still the Ah Qing they knew, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What else can we do? Just find a secluded gully, dig a hole, and bury them. These evildoers have committed countless atrocities; having a grave to lie in is already more than they deserve."
Lu Qing: "..."
He had not expected that elder Zhang, who usually seed so kind, could be so resolute in his actions.
What Lu Qing didn't know was that to elder Zhang, a few corpses were nothing at all; in his youth, he had seen much more.
Actually, the elders in Jiuli Village weren't afraid of corpses at all.
In tis past, during their escape, they had witnessed even more grueso events.
It was primarily the younger generation, who hadn't seen much of the world, that were frightened by the scene before them.
Grandpa Zhang felt nothing for the dead bodies, rather he was amazed by Lu Qing's actions just monts before.
"Ah Qing, when did you learn martial arts? Those evil people from the Black Wolf Gang are all fierce and have high martial skills, yet they couldn't even take one of your moves?"
The other villagers were also extrely curious.
After all, they had watched Lu Qing grow up; when had he learned martial arts, and how had he beco so powerful without them knowing?
"I learned from my master, it's been so ti," Lu Qing replied.
"The elder doctor can fight?"
This ti, all the villagers were truly astounded.
Having lived together for so many years, they had never known that the kind and gentle old doctor was also versed in martial arts.
"Let's not talk about this for now," said Lu Qing. "Grandpa Zhang, I've killed these people; will there be any trouble afterwards?"
"I'm worried about that too," said Grandpa Zhang with concern. "These evildoers from the Black Wolf Gang, though they deserved to die, are not the only ones; there are others, and I'm afraid they won't let this go easily."
"Grandpa Zhang, what exactly is the Black Wolf Gang, and why does no one deal with their misdeeds?" Lu Qing asked.
"I don't know either, I've just heard that the Black Wolf Gang is a gang from the city, with many mbers, and that many people dare not provoke them."
Grandpa Zhang, after all, was just a country old man with limited knowledge, unaware of the specific origins of the Black Wolf Gang.
Lu Qing fell silent for a mont before suddenly rembering soone.
Perhaps that person knew the details of the Black Wolf Gang.
He said to Grandpa Zhang, "Grandpa Zhang, I need to go out for a bit. Please have everyone take care of the bodies and, if you could, help send Little Yan to my master's place."
"Where are you going if you have to leave?" Grandpa Zhang asked, startled.
"I'm going to ask soone about the Black Wolf Gang. I'll be back soon."
Lu Qing returned to his house and shouldered his War Saber.
A black figure appeared silently beside him.
"Little Li, where were you just now?"
Little Li made a sound and pointed a paw toward the door.
Lu Qing looked and saw it was a patch of grass beside the gate of the courtyard.
It wasn't far from where Little Yan had been earlier; Little Li could reach her in an instant.
No wonder he had felt an elusive sense of danger nearby; it turned out this little beast was hiding there.
It seed, had Lu Qing not appeared at the last mont, Little Li would probably have been unable to hold back.
If Little Li had taken action, those people would likely have died even more miserably.
Lately, Lu Qing had indeed seen for himself how powerful Little Li's claws were.
Even though he had now reached Small Success in the Qi Blood Realm, and his Four Directions Saber Technique had advanced further, he still had no confidence that he could withstand even one strike from Little Li's paw.
"Good job," Lu Qing patted Little Li's head.
He was relieved by the little creature's restraint and did not bla it for not acting imdiately.
Little Li was his trump card, and he did not wish to expose it unless absolutely necessary.
After giving the little beast a few instructions, Lu Qing, carrying his saber, walked out of the house.
He ca to Little Yan and ruffled her hair. "Be good, Little Yan. Stay with Master Chen for a while. Big brother will be back soon. Don't be afraid; I've beaten all those bad people. They won't co to catch you again."
"Okay!" Little Yan nodded. "Then you must co back soon, big brother."
"I will," Lu Qing ruffled her hair again and then nodded to Grandpa Zhang, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm troubling you."
Having said that, he took his saber and walked away.
All the villagers watched Lu Qing's back, both familiar and yet foreign, and it suddenly dawned on them.
Unbeknownst to them, Lu Qing's stature had grown much taller and he was no longer the frail youth of before.
