Chapter 78: The Power of a Single Strike
Chapter 78: The Power of a Single Strike
【Wei Shan: Nicknamed "Heart-Plucking Wolf", he is the Ninth Master of the Black Wolf Gang and the Chief of Happy Valley. He is cruel, cunning, and greedy. 】
【Cultivation: Late Heavenly Qi and Blood Small Success. Proficient in fist, foot, and claw techniques, he takes great pleasure in ripping out people's hearts.】
Looking at the information about the Ninth Master of the Black Wolf Gang above, Lu Qing curved his lips into a smile.
As Mag had said, the Chief of Happy Valley had only reached the Qi and Blood Realm in his martial arts cultivation.
He hadn't even attained the Grand Completion stage, just like Lu Qing, who had barely achieved Small Success.
Lu Qing glanced at the few people beside him; they were all ordinary martial artists who hadn't yet entered the realm of martial arts.
However, going by their information, they should be leaders within the valley, just like Han Wu.
"Everyone's here, perfect. Saves me the trouble of looking for you one by one."
Lu Qing's eyes shone with an eerie light as he looked at the group before him.
The killing intent that had arisen from slaughtering the previous lackeys hadn't diminished; instead, it was growing stronger.
The Chief of Happy Valley, Wei Shan, also known as Heart-Plucking Wolf, stared at Lu Qing, taken aback.
He had initially thought that they were rivals from the Black Wolf Gang, coming to disrupt their business.
But now, he realized that it was a young man he had never seen before.
Sensing the surging Qi and blood within Lu Qing, a chill ran through Wei Shan's heart.
To have reached the Qi and Blood Realm at such a young age, and with such abundant Qi and blood that was no less than his own, this young man had also attained the level of Small Success.
A genius in the Small Success stage of the Qi and Blood Realm at such a young age! As this realization struck Heart-Plucking Wolf, his expression grew grave.
He knew that young geniuses like this often had powerful backers.
When had his Happy Valley offended such a formidable figure? Or had the main branch of the gang provoked someone they shouldn't have? These thoughts raced through his mind.
However, a smile appeared on Heart-Plucking Wolf's face as he said, "Young hero, who are you, and why have you come to cause trouble in my Happy Valley? Is there perhaps some misunderstanding? If there is anything our Happy Valley has done wrong, we are willing to make amends."
Hearing these words, the few people beside Heart-Plucking Wolf were astonished.
It was the first time they had seen their boss being so polite, especially to a young boy who seemed barely out of his teens.
Even though the other party was the one causing trouble and had killed people from their valley, their boss was actually greeting him with a smile?
Just who was this kid? Everyone's gazes turned to Lu Qing once more.
However, with their cultivation levels yet to break through to the Qi and Blood Realm, they couldn't see through Lu Qing's true strength.
Hearing Heart-Plucking Wolf's tentative question, Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged.
As expected, one didn't become the chief of a valley without some brains.
However, he didn't feel like wasting time talking to these people. The killing intent coursing through him urged him to take action without further ado.
Moreover, he could sense that more people were rushing toward them from outside.
Clearly, the other members of the gang within the valley were gathering.
Although Lu Qing wanted to leave no one from Happy Valley alive, that didn't mean he would wait for them to assemble their forces before making a move.
So, in response to Heart-Plucking Wolf's probing, Lu Qing remained silent. He took a horse stance, his body sinking slightly, and assumed the starting posture of the Four Directions Knife Technique.
His Qi and blood erupted, and the killing intent in his heart surged forth, no longer suppressed, as he charged toward Heart-Plucking Wolf.
Sensing this intense killing intent, Heart-Plucking Wolf's face changed.
He knew that there was no longer any room for negotiation.
The boy before him exuded an unwavering determination to kill, and that said it all.
Although he didn't understand why Lu Qing held such intense killing intent toward him, it didn't stop him from making the right choice.
Chapter 79: A Single Deadly Strike
"Get him!"
Heart-Plucking Wolf waved his hand, giving the order.
However, Lu Qing's actions were faster than his command.
As soon as Heart-Plucking Wolf uttered the first word, Lu Qing's figure shot up, rushing towards the second floor.
By the time he finished his sentence, Lu Qing had pounced forward, using his upward momentum and holding the knife in both hands. With an upward slash, he swung his knife towards Heart-Plucking Wolf!
With this knife, Lu Qing poured in all his strength.
In addition to the explosive power of his qi and blood, he also channeled the boundless killing intent that had been suppressed since he arrived at Happy Valley.
As he slashed with the knife, Lu Qing's mind seemed to undergo a transformation, and his comprehension of the Four Directions Knife Technique reached a new level.
His mind flashed back to the ability's initial assessment of the knife technique.
The Four Directions Knife, emphasizes momentum and slaughter! The Four Directions Knife Technique has never been a clever knife technique that relies on intricate moves.
It emphasizes stillness until the moment of action, when one must exert all their strength, charging forward relentlessly with the intent to kill, slaying all enemies in their path!
Heart-Plucking Wolf never expected Lu Qing to be so fast and decisive.
Sensing the momentum of Lu Qing's knife, his expression changed drastically.
He immediately realized that he absolutely could not block this knife head-on.
Otherwise, he would die!
Without time to think, Heart-Plucking Wolf instinctively crossed his arms in front of him while stepping back.
Whoosh!!
Lu Qing's knife move was extremely fierce. The second-floor railing and floor could not hinder his knife's momentum at all, and it was directly cut apart.
The knife edge slashed towards Heart-Plucking Wolf's chest, intending to split him in two.
However, when the battle knife struck Heart-Plucking Wolf's arms, which were crossed in front of him, Lu Qing felt a strong resistance and was unable to cut through his arms instantly!
Boom!!
Under the collision of powerful forces, along with Heart-Plucking Wolf deliberately reducing the force, his body was sent flying backward by Lu Qing's knife, crashing through the wooden door behind him and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Big Brother!!"
The other bosses, who had already been shocked by Lu Qing's momentum and fallen to the side, were even more terrified when they saw this scene.
They never expected that their usually formidable boss would be sent flying so easily by a single knife strike.
"Where did this kid come from? Is this still a knife technique that someone at the Qi and Blood Realm can use?!"
On the second floor, Heart-Plucking Wolf, who had fallen to the ground, felt his throat turn sweet and his chest tighten, having suffered internal injuries that were not to be taken lightly.
Looking at the pair of expensive and finely crafted steel armguards on his arms, now with two deep knife marks, completely torn apart, he felt a chill in his heart.
He never thought that as martial artists of the same Qi and Blood Realm, he wouldn't even be able to block a single knife strike from Lu Qing.
"Run!"
Heart-Plucking Wolf reacted immediately.
After just one exchange, he had already suffered minor injuries, and his armor was half-destroyed.
Heart-Plucking Wolf realized that if he didn't run, he would die here today!
Without any hesitation, Heart-Plucking Wolf immediately flipped over from the ground, crashing through the window behind him and landing outside the wooden building.
"You want to escape?"
Lu Qing immediately sensed Heart-Plucking Wolf's intention.
The battle knife in his hand traced an arc, and the knife light shone as several heads flew up.
The bosses of Happy Valley, who had fallen to the side and were usually unbeatable, were all killed by Lu Qing's knife.
After cutting down several people, Lu Qing stepped on the wooden floor, shattering it, and chased after Heart-Plucking Wolf.
