Clang!
A metallic clang vibrated!
Lu Ming and Zhang Mazi each retreated.
Thump, thump, thump!
Lu Ming took five steps back, his foot stomping down, his heel half-buried in the mud, steadying his figure; while Zhang Mazi retreated ten steps in a row, almost stumbling and falling.
The difference in their skill was immediately apparent!
“As expected, heroes emerge young, but my treasured blade is not yet old!”
Zhang Mazi’s hands trembled slightly, but his expression remained fearless.
“Attack together!” he shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, arrows immediately shot over.
Swish, swish, swish!
Ten shots in a row!
At the same time, the horse bandits let out strange howls, whipping their horses and charging towards Lu Ming.
Their Aura was like a rainbow, their killing intent chilling!
Clang!
A flash of a blade, and ten arrows were instantly cut in half.
Lu Ming, holding his blade, leapt up, appearing in front of three horse bandits in an instant.
The three horse bandits only felt a chill at their necks, and then fell from their horses.
Lu Ming’s figure had already appeared beside another horse bandit.
With a light flick of his blade’s hilt, several horse bandits’ heads flew up, blood gushing from their necks, warm and wet, splattering on the faces of their companions nearby.
And those companions’ faces still held terror, their breathing stopping immediately after.
Puff, puff, puff!
The horse bandits fell one after another like weeds.
“Fish are just fish!”
“Zhang Mazi, do you really think you can turn the tide of battle with just these people?”
“I don’t know whether to laugh at your naivety or your stupidity.”
Lu Ming’s blade flew up and down as he spoke in mockery, and in his mind, the constant sound of “slaughter value received” made his blood boil.
“Stop!”
Zhang Mazi finally couldn’t hold back, leaping in front of Lu Ming, fully unleashing his Great Strength Eagle Claw Skill.
Clink, clank, clatter!
Sparks flew.
He tried to entangle Lu Ming; if the killing continued like this, his Black Wind Stronghold would have no one left; his life’s work would also be ruined here.
For a box of gold bars, to ruin his career, it wasn’t worth it.
But at this moment, Lu Ming was in a killing frenzy.
As his figure shifted and moved, the blade light brought with it splashes of blood.
“Lu Ming, stop, we don’t want this shipment of goods anymore.”
“We can also let you leave.”
Zhang Mazi’s face was anxious, but he knew he couldn’t stop Lu Ming.
Although both were in the Early Stage of the Eighth Rank, Lu Ming’s Internal Energy was vast and fierce, completely beyond his ability to parry; after only a short while of confrontation, his arms were already numb, and the bones in his body were throbbing with pain.
“Heh…”
“Zhang Mazi, is this your first day living by the blade?”
“Fight when you want, stop fighting when you can’t win, the Jianghu isn’t mixed like that. Since you chose to act, you must pay the price.”
Lu Ming’s voice was cold; at this point, only three or four horse bandits remained on the field, deliberately avoiding the area where Zhang Mazi and Lu Ming were fighting, watching from afar.
However, despite this, their legs, clamping their horses’ flanks, were still trembling, almost unable to keep from falling off their horses.
As horse bandits, falling off a horse was a disgrace.
But they were too scared.
And at this moment, Zhang Mazi, who had lost his companions to cover him, immediately felt his pressure double.
Lu Ming’s blade was fierce and overbearing, each strike powerful and heavy, yet continuous.
And he was already on the verge of exhaustion.
If this continued, he would have only one path: death.
Escape!
Clang!
Using the force of Lu Ming’s sweeping blade, Zhang Mazi was sent flying backward.
With a somersault, he landed on an ownerless horse.
“Giddy up!”
Without hesitation, he immediately spurred his horse and fled.
However, before the horse had run a few steps, a whooshing sound came from behind him.
“No!”
He turned his head, and in his eyes, he saw a cold glint.
Very bright, very bright, as if only this one blade remained between heaven and earth.
Puff!
Both man and horse were shattered!
Zhang Mazi, along with the horse beneath him, split down the middle, divided into two.
【Slaughter Value +200!】
【Xiao Li Flying Knife Skill * 1】
Seeing this, the remaining three horse bandits immediately turned their horses around.
Loyalty, living and dying together, did not exist among horse bandits.
“Trying to escape? Can you escape?”
Lu Ming flicked his long blade, and three ownerless blades on the ground shot towards the backs of those three horse bandits.
Pfft!
The blades pierced through their chests.
Only three ownerless horses remained, slowly stopping their run, standing bewildered in place.
Clang!
The Disciples of the Golden Money Gang all fell to the ground.
From the appearance of the horse bandits to Lu Ming killing all of them, it seemed long, but in reality, less than a quarter of an hour had passed.
“Mercy, have mercy, Lu Ming!”
“We were just following orders, we were forced by our superiors.”
“Yes, yes, I have an old mother above and young children below, please don’t kill me.”
…
One by one, the Golden Money Gang Disciples begged Lu Ming for mercy.
They had already lost the courage to resist, after witnessing Lu Ming’s strength.
“What joy is there in life, what suffering in death!”
“Since you are living so miserably, why not ascend to paradise early.”
Lu Ming did not stop; he directly charged into the Golden Money Gang Disciples.
Swish, swish, swish!
Blood mist flew.
Escape!
“There are so many of us, if we split up and run, he can’t kill us all.”
A clever Disciple shouted, and immediately all the Golden Money Gang Disciples scattered and fled.
However,
Something unexpected happened.
The escorts of the Hongyuan Escort Agency all pulled out their weapons, surrounding them and blocking all escape routes.
“You, you all…”
The arrogant and overbearing Golden Money Gang Disciples had never imagined that one day, the escorts of the Hongyuan Escort Agency, whom they looked down upon, would become the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Karma, the cycle of heaven.
One by one, the Golden Money Gang Disciples fell under Lu Ming’s blade.
His blade dripped with blood, but his face showed little emotion; his previous frenzy had been put away, and now he was a calm swordsman once again.
A wind,
Blew through his clothes.
On his handsome face, there seemed to be a faint smile.
No one knew what he was happy about; only he knew.
Xiao Li Flying Knife, never misses!
In future battles, first hit them with one from behind; if they don’t die, then charge forward with the blade and stab them to death.
With this smooth combo, even an Eighth Rank Peak cultivator, if caught off guard, would suffer greatly, perfect!
After a long pause, Luo Qinghe finally helped Luo Wuxie walk over.
She bowed to Lu Ming.
“Thank you, Young Master Lu, for saving us. My Hongyuan Escort Agency will surely remember this kindness, and will repay it many times over in the future.”
Luo Wuxie’s voice was still somewhat weak.
He was seriously injured in this battle and would need at least several months of rest to recover.
Hearing the voice, Lu Ming only nodded slightly.
He didn’t entirely act to save them; rather, these people had come for him in the first place.
If one were to be truthful, he had implicated them.
However, since Luo Wuxie didn’t say that, he wouldn’t voluntarily take on such a responsibility.
Don’t take the initiative, don’t take responsibility!
“Young Master Lu, are you heading to Lu’an City?”
“How about we travel together?”
After a moment, Luo Qinghe spoke softly, her cheeks slightly flushed, completely losing her usual boisterous demeanor, instead acting a bit like a young maiden.
This made Luo Wuxie’s heart tighten, and his expression stiffen.
His own grown cabbage, perhaps…
Lu Ming nodded, smiling faintly.
“A beautiful woman should not be treated rudely, good wine should not be wasted!”
“Good, then let’s go together.”
Hearing Lu Ming’s praise, the blush on Luo Qinghe’s cheeks deepened.
After tidying up, the group continued on their journey.
Luo Wuxie, meanwhile, instructed a few capable escorts to deal with the scene.
Lu Ming had offended the Golden Money Gang, so it was best not to reveal his whereabouts.
Even if Lu’an City had no Golden Money Gang influence.
