Lu Qing walked slowly down the road.
But my heart was not as calm as it appeared.
After he crippled those thugs, it will be difficult for them to do evil again.
Even living like a normal person is not easy.
As for why they weren't killed outright.
Because Lu Qing is not a person who kills indiscriminately.
To be honest, in his previous life he had hardly ever killed chickens or ducks, let alone killed people, except for killing fish.
Although Lu Qing had been mentally preparing himself since he transmigrated, telling himself that this world was different, more cruel and a dog-eat-dog world.
However, killing someone was still not a decision that Lu Qing could easily make.
Because he doesn't know what changes will occur once he crosses that line.
After becoming a martial artist, killing was not a difficult task for him.
The difficulty lies in his uncertainty about whether he can maintain his current state after taking that step.
If these thugs were truly heinous criminals, Lu Qing might have been able to bring himself to harm them.
But the information his supernatural abilities revealed told him that they were not.
So Lu Qing ultimately decided to give them a chance.
As expected, I still don't have the same mentality as the protagonists in the novels I read in my previous life, who could kill decisively and without restraint as soon as they transmigrated.
In the end, I am just an ordinary person.
Lu Qing thought to himself with a touch of self-mockery.
However, after this incident, Lu Qing finally realized the power of martial artists.
Even the weakest Qi and Blood Realm cultivator is an opponent that is difficult for ordinary people to resist.
Whether it's strength, reaction time, or defense, the two are simply not on the same level.
When Lu Qing taught those thugs a lesson earlier, he could clearly feel it.
Their movements and reactions were no different from slow motion to him, posing almost no threat.
Therefore, he could easily break their arms and legs while remaining unharmed himself.
"Fortunately, martial arts cultivation is not easy, and breaking through to the Qi and Blood Realm is even more difficult. Otherwise, I really can't imagine what this world would be like," Lu Qing thought to himself.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it didn't take him long to enter the Qi and Blood Realm.
But that's because he has supernatural abilities to help him, his master's selfless guidance, and the powerful tonic of golden loach to make up for his lack of foundation.
Ordinary people don't have the same conditions as him to practice martial arts.
Even after practicing for eight or ten years, one might not be able to touch the edge of the Qi and Blood Realm.
So, according to my master, in this world, anyone who can become a martial artist is extraordinary; they are at least one in a hundred.
Others, without talent, cannot grasp the secret of connecting qi and blood. No matter how long they practice, they will only be more agile and stronger, and can only become ordinary martial artists.
It's fine for bullying ordinary people, but when it encounters a real martial artist, it shatters at the slightest touch.
With things on his mind, Lu Qing returned home.
After putting everything down, I felt a sense of relief.
Although there were some twists and turns during this trip to the market, he was in a good mood overall.
In particular, he successfully asked Magu to help him get a battle knife.
Thinking that he would have his own battle sword in just a few days, Lu Qing was quite looking forward to it.
Lu Qing thought it would be another four or five days before he would see Ma Gu.
However, to his surprise, the two met again just one day later.
...
The market is located in the back courtyard of a house.
Magu looked somewhat worried and called over one of his men.
"Hasn't that young master of the Wei family returned yet?"
"Reporting to Master Ma, I have been waiting outside, but I haven't seen Young Master Wei and the others return yet," the subordinate said respectfully.
"Why are you back so late today?" Magu felt uneasy. "Judging from yesterday, you should have been back by now."
After waiting for a while longer without seeing anyone return, Magu became even more uneasy.
He paced back and forth, constantly reassuring himself: "Nothing will happen. The Wei family's guards are all experts in the Bone and Tendon Realm. What problems could they possibly encounter on a trip into the mountains?"
However, as time went by, Magu's heart finally began to panic.
He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, what's wrong with this young master Wei? Why does he insist on going into the mountains to find some birthday gift himself? Wouldn't it be the same to just tell his men to do it? Doesn't he know how many people will suffer if something happens to him?!"
Just as Magu was extremely anxious, wondering whether he should organize people to go into the mountains to search for them.
Finally, the men who had been waiting outside rushed in.
"Master Ma, Master Ma, Young Master Wei and the others are back!"
"They're back! Where are they?" Magu was overjoyed and immediately asked.
However, his subordinate's face was filled with panic: "He's back, but Young Master Wei... he..."
Magu sensed something was wrong and immediately grabbed his subordinate by the collar: "How is Young Master Wei?"
"He...he seems to be dead..."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Magoo completely stunned.
The next moment, an overwhelming fear surged within him.
He grabbed his subordinate by the collar again, his face contorted with rage: "How could he be dead? Who killed him?!"
"I...I don't know. I saw those guards come back carrying a stretcher, and Young Master Wei was lying on it. The stretcher was covered in blood, and Young Master Wei's eyes were closed. I couldn't even see him breathing. I thought, Young Master Wei is probably...I'm afraid..."
The subordinate was terrified by Magu's ferocity and stammered.
Fuck you!
Magu then realized what was going on. It was still uncertain whether Young Master Wei was really dead, but what this guy had just said was definitely his own speculation.
"I'll come back and deal with you later!"
He kicked his subordinate aside, cursed fiercely, and then hurriedly rushed out.
The fear in my heart did not lessen much.
Although this idiot is just making wild guesses, it is clear that Young Master Wei's current situation is indeed very bad.
Whether that person is dead or seriously injured, the consequences are beyond what he can bear.
When Magu arrived at the front yard, he saw the Wei family guards surrounding a blood-soaked stretcher, their faces grim.
On the stretcher, the young master of the Wei family lay pale-faced with his eyes closed, his fate unknown.
"Guard Li, what's going on?"
Upon seeing this, Magu was stunned and immediately shouted to the leading guard.
"Young master, he accidentally fell into a valley in the mountains, and his stomach was cut open by a sharp rock."
Li, the bodyguard, looked extremely pale and was filled with fear.
He couldn't even imagine what kind of punishment they would receive when they returned, for failing to properly protect the young master.
"That young master, he is now, he is now..."
Upon hearing this, Magu's heart clenched, his voice trembled, but he dared not ask the question.
Fortunately, Guard Li understood his meaning and replied directly, "The young master is still breathing. We've stuffed his intestines back in and applied medicine, which has managed to temporarily stop the bleeding."
Magu's heart skipped a beat. "So what are you now?"
“We originally intended to take the young master directly back to the city, but his wound is too large. Due to the bumpy ride, blood is still seeping out, washing away the powder from the wound medicine. Unfortunately, we have run out of wound medicine. If this continues, I'm afraid the young master's wound will bleed heavily again before we can get back to the city.”
"So we had no choice but to come back here and ask you if you have any extra wound medicine?"
"Heart wound medicine? Yes, I have it. I'll go get it right away!"
Magu took out his collection of wound medicine at lightning speed and handed it to Guard Li.
Although the wound medicine was quite expensive, he couldn't care less about that at that moment.
Watching Guard Li lift up Young Master Wei's clothes and apply the wound medicine.
The horrific wound made Magu's eyes twitch.
He simply couldn't imagine how Young Master Wei had fallen and managed to get such a large gash in his stomach.
"Guard Li, what are your plans next?"
After seeing that Guard Li had applied the medicine, Ma Gu asked.
“We intend to take the young master back to the city immediately,” Guard Li replied without hesitation.
“But didn’t you say that the young master might not be able to withstand the bumps?” Magu hurriedly said.
“Taking the young master back might give him a glimmer of hope, but if we delay any longer, he might lose even that glimmer of hope.”
There was one more thing that Guard Li didn't say.
That was their only chance of survival.
But Magu became anxious.
If we let Guard Li and the others go back like this, it's fine that Young Master Wei was rescued; he might not be seriously injured.
But if Young Master Wei dies halfway, who knows if these guards will just run away?
In the end, he'll be the one who suffers.
No, he has to think of something!
Magu's mind raced as he racked his brains to find a way to [N O V E L I G H T] survive.
Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind, and his eyes lit up.
"Wait a minute, I have a way, perhaps I can save the young master!"
