Chapter 122: Kill Them All! The Youth in White!
"Gang Leader!"
"Big Brother!"
"Boss!"
Upon seeing Black Wolf slumped against a tree trunk, all the members of the Black Wolf Gang couldn't help but cry out.
Their hearts were filled with fear. They had just witnessed their usually formidable leader get punched in the chest by that young man, the force piercing through his back and sending him flying into a tree.
At this moment, looking at the gaping hole in Black Wolf's chest, the gang members knew their leader probably wouldn't make it.
Black Wolf hadn't died yet. The robust vitality of a Muscle and Bone Realm warrior allowed him to cling to life despite his severe injury.
However, as he lifted his drooping head, he saw the massive hole in his chest and his heart, which had been blasted to pieces.
Raising his head to look at Lu Qing, Black Wolf's eyes still held disbelief.
He couldn't believe that he couldn't even withstand a single move from Lu Qing.
And he dared not believe that this young man before him had already reached the same realm as him, the Muscle and Bone Perfection Realm.
Indeed, just now, when Lu Qing burst forth with power, Black Wolf finally discerned his martial arts realm.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Lu Qing took slow steps toward Black Wolf, stopping in front of him, a hint of regret on his face.
"What a pity. I thought you could give me a decent fight and let me test the results of my recent cultivation. I didn't expect you couldn't even withstand a single punch of mine."
"W-who are you?" Black Wolf asked, his voice strained as he stared at Lu Qing.
He couldn't fathom when the Black Wolf Gang had offended such a terrifying person.
Such a young warrior at the Muscle and Bone Perfection Realm was likely a rarity even in those longstanding, prominent sects.
Why would such an individual appear in this remote county, claiming to have a grudge against their gang?
"Who I am is none of your concern," Lu Qing said indifferently. "All you need to know is that I'm here to annihilate the Black Wolf Gang."
As his words landed, his figure suddenly vanished, only to reappear in front of the other Black Wolf Gang members not far away.
Roar!
A faint tiger's roar sounded, and Lu Qing snapped his arms forward, slamming two gang members squarely in their chests.
A series of bone-cracking sounds rang out, and the two gang members sprayed blood from their mouths as they flew backward, already lifeless by the time they were in midair.
Fierce Tiger Fist, Tiger Descends the Mountain!
After killing two gang members with a single move, Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged, and his body didn't hesitate for a moment. He unleashed his fists again, and another two were sent flying, their bodies exploding from broken bones.
In the following moments, Lu Qing was like a tiger among sheep. With each punch he threw, a Black Wolf Gang member would meet their demise.
At first, the gang members wanted to take advantage of their numbers and fight back.
But when they saw that every time Lu Qing acted, two of their companions would be blasted away, they lost their courage.
In the blink of an eye, half of their group was wiped out, and even the leaders among them couldn't withstand a single move from Lu Qing.
The remaining members panicked.
"Ah! Run! This guy isn't human!"
"Monster! Monster!"
"Spare our lives! Please, spare us!"
The Black Wolf Gang members were ruthless, but they weren't foolish.
Seeing that they were no match for Lu Qing, they either fled or begged for mercy, all traces of their previous arrogance gone.
However, Lu Qing wouldn't show any mercy to these despicable criminals.
Whether they ran or pleaded, he treated them the same—if he caught up to them, he'd punch them to death.
Soon, he had killed every last member of the Black Wolf Gang.
Even the second and third leaders, who were also at the Muscle and Bone Realm, couldn't withstand a single punch from him. Their internal organs exploded, and they perished.
Just like that, in less than a moment, the entire Black Wolf Gang, who had arrived in a menacing fashion, was slaughtered by Lu Qing alone.
Nearby, Ma Gu and the others were stunned, their eyes wide.
As for Xiao Tian and the others, they now looked at Lu Qing with reverence, as if he were a deity.
They had personally experienced the intimidating aura of the Black Wolf earlier.
They never imagined that such a powerful and fierce warrior would be killed by Lu Qing with a single punch.
Chapter: How Powerful is Lu Qing, the Young Master?
Ma Gu was left deeply shaken, even he was aware of Lu Qing's strength. Not long ago, he had witnessed first-hand how Lu Qing had slain a mysterious martial artist who had achieved the Muscle and Bone Realm.
Even his swordsmanship had forced a cultivator at the Internal Organs Realm to temporarily retreat.
So when Ma Gu saw Lu Qing appear, he felt relieved, knowing that his and Xiao Tian's lives were temporarily safe.
With Lu Qing's strength, even when facing someone like Black Wolf, who had reached the peak of the Muscle and Bone Realm, he wouldn't be at much of a disadvantage.
Not to mention he also had that mysterious and unpredictable spiritual being that could easily slay those in the Internal Organs Realm.
However, Ma Gu never expected that in just a short time, Lu Qing's martial arts cultivation would surge again, reaching a level even he couldn't fathom.
Without even drawing his sword, Lu Qing had killed Black Wolf, who was renowned in the county for having achieved the peak of the Muscle and Bone Realm, with just a single punch.
This improvement in Lu Qing's strength left Ma Gu utterly astonished.
After all, it had been less than half a month since they last met!
"Are you alright, Lord Ma?" Lu Qing finally turned to Ma Gu and the others after killing all the members of the Black Wolf Gang.
As for Black Wolf, he had already died while Lu Qing was slaughtering the rest of the gang members.
"We're fine thanks to you, Brother Lu Qing. By the way, how did you get here?" Ma Gu asked, relieved. "We thought we might be in trouble when we saw them heading this way."
"I was fishing by the river with Xiaoyan not long ago when I noticed this group of people. They seemed to be heading towards the market with ill intentions, so I came to check it out," Lu Qing explained.
"...Is that so?" Ma Gu fell silent.
He knew that Lu Qing enjoyed fishing and had even spent a small fortune on some expensive fishing hooks.
But the thought that Lu Qing had stumbled upon Black Wolf and his gang while fishing made him unsure if he should be grateful for their luck or mourn the misfortune of Black Wolf and his gang.
"Brother Lu Qing, what should we do with these bodies?" Lu Qing asked, looking at the corpses littering the ground.
"Leave it to Xiaotian and the others. They're used to this sort of thing," Ma Gu waved his hand, dismissing the concern.
Xiao Tian and the others: ...
Lord Ma, please don't make us sound like a bunch of murderous maniacs.
The only reason we're used to this is because we helped Brother Lu Qing dispose of the entire camp of corpses last time.
But Xiao Tian and the others dared not voice these thoughts in front of Lu Qing, keeping them to themselves.
Standing before Black Wolf's corpse, Ma Gu couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
Black Wolf's name carried weight in the county.
The reason the Black Wolf Gang had become one of the three major forces in the county was largely due to Black Wolf's strength.
Someone who had reached the peak of the Muscle and Bone Realm could be considered at the pinnacle of strength in the county.
Aside from the Wei family and the County Governor's Mansion, no other family's martial artists could confidently claim to be able to suppress Black Wolf.
Yet, this formidable warrior had fallen to Lu Qing in just a single move.
"Brother Lu Qing, you should have left one of them alive. There's something suspicious about the Black Wolf Gang's presence here. I wonder who sent them to cause trouble in my small town," Ma Gu said.
"There's no need for that. The one who sent them is already here," Lu Qing said.
"What?" Ma Gu was taken aback.
However, Lu Qing didn't answer him and instead looked towards a large tree in the distance, calling out, "You've been here for quite some time as well. Don't you plan on showing yourself?"
Ma Gu turned to look at the tree as well.
"Interesting. A mere Muscle and Bone Realm cultivator was able to detect my presence. Kid, who exactly are you?" a voice called out from behind the tree.
A young man dressed in white, holding a jade fan, stepped out from behind the tree.
