Chapter 225: Slaughter and Unrelenting Fury
The tavern fell into a deathly silence as everyone witnessed Lu Qing crush the effeminate youth under his foot.
All the remaining disciples of the Liuyun Sect trembled in fear, including Fang Tao and his disciples, who were equally shocked by Lu Qing's actions.
Even Ma Gu and Wei Zian were taken aback by the murderous aura emanating from Lu Qing.
However, they also understood why Lu Qing had flown into such a rage.
Xiao Yan was Lu Qing's soft spot, and this young master of the Liuyun Sect had not only spoken rudely to her but had also harbored despicable intentions. This was no different from seeking death.
Not to mention the gruesome scenes they had encountered on their journey, which had already fueled Lu Qing's anger.
It would have been strange if he hadn't wanted to kill him.
It was just that the cruel method Lu Qing had chosen took them by surprise.
After all, Xiao Yan was still here.
Fortunately, the old doctor had covered Xiao Yan's eyes in time; otherwise, who knew if the little one would have nightmares tonight.
Seeing the unrecognizable corpse of the effeminate youth, all the Liuyun Sect disciples began to shake with fear.
Their hearts were filled with terror, not only because of Lu Qing's ruthlessness but also because they knew that the death of the young master would shake the entire Liuyun Sect.
The sect master and the grand elder would surely fly into a rage, and all of Yunzhou would be plunged into chaos.
And they, the disciples who had followed the young master, would surely incur the sect master's wrath for failing to protect him.
Thinking of the sect master's usual sternness and methods within the sect, as well as the harshness of the grand elder, the hearts of the surviving Liuyun Sect disciples began to tremble.
However, they wouldn't have to worry about that for long.
Because Lu Qing had no intention of letting them off the hook.
After crushing the youth under his foot as if he were stepping on an insect, Lu Qing turned his gaze to the remaining Liuyun Sect disciples.
Slap!
The remaining disciples shuddered as Lu Qing's gaze, devoid of any emotion, swept over them.
Those with weaker wills immediately fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
"Young hero, spare our lives! We had nothing to do with this! It was all the young master's orders, and we were just following his commands!"
"Yes, young hero, we had no choice! If we didn't obey, we would've been the first to die!"
"Please, young hero, have mercy on us! We won't dare to do it again!"
Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the kneeling, tearfully pleading disciples of the Liuyun Sect.
Dashi, on the other hand, shouted angrily, "Bullshit! You dogs, I heard you laughing loudly while slaughtering those innocent townspeople! Lu Qing, these scumbags are not worth your sympathy!"
The pleading disciples of the Liuyun Sect froze for a moment.
"I ask you, what happened to that little girl over there?" Lu Qing asked calmly, his voice cold as ice.
The few Liuyun Sect disciples trembled at his indifferent tone, wanting to come up with an excuse, but upon seeing Lu Qing's indifferent gaze, they felt a chill in their hearts for some reason.
"That was all the young master's doing. He has a penchant for toying with young girls. That little girl is the granddaughter of the tavern owner. The young master saw her today and..."
The disciple's voice trailed off, but his words sent shivers down everyone's spines.
"He's a pervert! He's not even human!" Zhao Qianlin and Fang Rou exclaimed in disgust.
Ma Gu and the others glared at them, their faces filled with anger.
Even the old doctor's face turned grim.
"How can such a despicable person be the young master of your sect? Don't you supervise and discipline your successors in the Liuyun Sect?" Lu Qing asked coldly.
"The young master is the son of the sect master and the great-grandson of the grand elder. Who dares to discipline him? Young hero, it was the young master who ordered us to kill the townspeople.
The young master is known for his unpredictable moods, cruelty, and bloodlust. Anyone who defies him will be subjected to his madness. Having our hands and feet cut off would be a minor punishment. He might even involve our families. We dared not disobey him! Please understand, young hero, and give us a chance to reform!"
The remaining disciples of the Liuyun Sect kowtowed repeatedly to Lu Qing.
"If I give you a chance, who will give those townspeople who died outside a chance to live again?" Lu Qing asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he looked at the disciples who were kowtowing so hard that their foreheads were bleeding.
Chapter: "A Shocking Display"
"Scum like you don't deserve to live. It's not that I'll give you a chance to live, but letting you die quickly is my greatest mercy."
"Run!"
The kneeling Liuyun Sect disciples felt a sense of foreboding when they heard the first half of Lu Qing's sentence.
Upon hearing the rest, they were utterly terrified. One of them immediately shouted, and all the disciples began to scatter in different directions.
In an instant, the dozen or so Liuyun Sect disciples rushed towards the doors and windows of the tavern.
Those who were quick-witted even charged towards the injured Fang Tao and the others, intending to take them hostage.
"Dogs will always eat feces, no matter what."
Lu Qing was not at all surprised by their actions.
As the Liuyun Sect disciples fled, a stone appeared in Lu Qing's hand, and with a slight flick of his wrist, over ten stones flew out like a shower of flowers, spreading in all directions.
Then, with a series of dull thuds and splatters, blood sprayed everywhere.
All the fleeing Liuyun Sect disciples staggered almost simultaneously, then fell or collapsed to the ground, smashing several tables and chairs in the tavern.
When they looked again, most of them were exhaling more than they were inhaling.
In an instant, Lu Qing had used an unfathomable hidden weapon technique to kill them all.
"Ahh!"
One of the corpses fell right in front of Fang Rou.
Seeing the head of the Liuyun Sect disciple pierced by the stone, and the red and white fluids slowly oozing out, the young girl couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Earlier, she had been grabbed by the effeminate youth, but Lu Qing's punch that killed the stocky man was so shocking that it caused the youth to focus solely on escaping, tossing Fang Rou aside in the process.
However, this toss actually saved Fang Rou from the impact of the shockwave, and aside from some bruises from being thrown, she didn't suffer any serious injuries.
At this moment, seeing the dead Liuyun Sect disciple in front of her, Fang Rou felt a mix of emotions.
She recognized this particular disciple.
During the previous ambush, he had attacked them, and her father had been seriously injured by him with just one move.
Who would have thought that such a powerful warrior would be killed by Lu Qing with just a single stone?
Who exactly is Lu Qing? Why is he so formidable?
Fang Rou looked up at Lu Qing, her heart filled with both admiration and awe.
"Sister, are you alright? Are you injured?"
At this moment, Zhao Qianlin rushed over and cut the ropes binding Fang Rou.
On the other side, Ma Gu also cut the ropes on Fang Tao and Dashi.
"I'm fine, just some bruises, it's nothing serious."
In truth, Fang Rou could feel that the knife wounds she had sustained a few days ago were bleeding again, but she chose to endure the pain so as not to worry her senior sister.
After all, her father and Dashi's injuries were much more severe than hers.
"Sister, where are Wang Shixiong and Li Shixiong?"
Zhao Qianlin asked about the other two senior brothers.
"They're in the firewood room. When I was dragged out earlier, they were both thrown in there, covered in blood."
Ma Gu immediately went to the kitchen and soon brought out two men covered in whip marks.
Fortunately, the Liuyun Sect disciples seemed to have wanted to torture them further, as neither of them were dead yet, despite being barely conscious.
As long as there was a breath left in them, the old doctor could save them, even if they had sustained seemingly fatal injuries.
While the old doctor tended to Fang Tao and the others, Lu Qing remained standing in front of the small corpse, quietly gazing at it, deep in thought.
At the same time, in Yunzhou, the Liuyun Sect was shrouded in a terrifying aura.
"It's the aura of the Grand Elder!"
"Who dared to anger the Grand Elder? Are they tired of living?"
The disciples of the Liuyun Sect looked towards a certain palace with trembling hearts, whispering among themselves.
And within that palace, a figure stared at a broken jade pendant in his hand, his face filled with shock and fury.
"Xuan'er is dead?!"
