There was complete silence in front of the Lu family compound.
Everyone stared in shock at Han Wu, who lay lifeless on the ground.
No one expected that Lu Qing would suddenly make a move and kill Han Wu.
The villagers of Jiuli Village, in particular, were both shocked and astonished.
Just a moment ago, they were anxious when they saw Lu's amiable face, as if he was willing to accept Han Wu's apology and forgive past grievances.
He was afraid that Han Wu would deceive him and actually let these people go.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Lu Qing suddenly used ruthless methods and killed him with a single palm strike.
The villagers felt a sense of unfamiliarity when they saw Lu Qing, who remained calm even after killing someone.
Is this the same Aqing they usually see, the one who is always kind, humble and polite to everyone?
Lu Qing paid no attention to the villagers' gazes. After killing Han Wu, he continued to focus his attention on the remaining members of the Black Wolf Gang's outer circle.
The Black Wolf Gang members trembled and knelt down.
"Hero, hero, spare my life!"
"Young master, this really has nothing to do with me!"
"I was forced here by Fifth Master and the others. I really didn't do anything!"
"I'll never dare to do it again, young master, spare me, spare me!"
"I ask you, how exactly did my parents die?" Lu Qing said calmly.
"We don't know anything, young master. This whole thing was planned by Fifth Master and Seventh Master from beginning to end. We have no idea about the inside story."
"All I know is that Fifth Master and the others seemed to want to force your mother to sell herself, which led to her drowning herself in the river."
"We really don't know anything else. Please forgive us, young master, and give us a chance to make amends!"
Looking at the several burly men in front of him, who were crying and begging for mercy, Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged.
What kind of good person would someone be to work under someone like Han Wu?
Moreover, the information he had previously gathered through his supernatural abilities also told him that this group of people were all scum, and none of them were innocent.
He shook his head. Since he couldn't get any more information out of them, there was no need to keep these scum around.
Without hesitation, Lu Qing's internal energy surged, and he suddenly kicked out.
In an instant, he kicked each member of the Black Wolf Gang in the throat and temple.
With a series of cracking sounds, the remaining five Black Wolf Gang members had no time to react before their eyes turned bloodshot, they clutched their throats, convulsed, and fell to the ground, quickly falling silent.
Lu Qing didn't say another word from beginning to end.
After confirming that everyone was lifeless, Lu Qing turned around and looked at the villagers of Jiuli Village.
As for the man with the mole, he didn't even need to look at him; he was already dead.
When Lu Qing turned around, the villagers all took a step back.
There was no way around it; Lu Qing's performance just now was truly terrifying.
So many fierce-looking Black Wolf Gang members were all beaten and kicked to death by him in an instant.
The key point is that his expression didn't change much after killing so many people.
The villagers had never seen Lu Qing so ruthless.
For a moment, fear was inevitable.
Seeing the villagers' reaction, Lu Qing paused for a moment before casually saying:
"Grandpa Zhang, what should we do with these people's bodies?"
Grandpa Zhang, who had been covering Xiaoyan's eyes to prevent her from being frightened, quietly looked at Lu Qing for a while. Only when he was sure that he was indeed the same A Qing that everyone knew did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"What else can we do? Find a secluded ravine, dig a hole and bury them. These wicked people have committed countless evils. It's already a blessing for them to have a hole to bury them in."
Lu Qing: "..."
He never expected that the kind-looking Grandpa Zhang would be so fierce when he got down to business.
Lu Qing was unaware that for Grandpa Zhang, a few corpses were nothing; he had seen plenty of them when he was young.
In fact, none of the elderly people in Jiuli Village are afraid of corpses.
They had witnessed far more horrific things during their escape from the war.
Only young people, who haven't seen much of the world, would be so frightened by what they see.
Grandpa Zhang felt nothing for the corpse; instead, he found Lu Qing's behavior unbelievable.
"Ah Qing, when did you learn martial arts? These villains from the Black Wolf Gang are all fierce and highly skilled in martial arts, yet they couldn't even withstand a single move from you?"
The other villagers were also extremely curious.
They had watched Lu Qing grow up, and they had no idea when he learned martial arts and became so skilled.
"I learned it from my master, and it's been quite some time now," Lu Qing replied.
"The old doctor actually knows martial arts?"
This time, all the villagers were truly stunned.
Having known each other for so many years, they had no idea that the kind-faced old doctor was actually skilled in martial arts.
"Let's not talk about that now," Lu Qing said. "Grandpa Zhang, now that I've killed these people, will there be any trouble afterwards?"
“I’m worried about that too.” Grandpa Zhang said with concern, “These villains from the Black Wolf Gang are not worth dying for, but there are more than just these few of them. The remaining villains will probably not let it go once they know these people are dead.”
"Grandpa Zhang, what exactly is the Black Wolf Gang? Why are they doing such evil deeds? Is no one going to do anything about it?" Lu Qing asked.
"I don't know either. I just heard that the Black Wolf Gang is a gang in the city with many members, and many people can't afford to mess with them."
Grandpa Zhang was just an old man from the countryside with limited knowledge and didn't know the specific origins of the Black Wolf Gang.
Lu Qing paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered someone.
Perhaps that person knew the Black Wolf Gang's secrets.
He said to Grandpa Zhang, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm going out for a bit. Could you please have everyone dispose of these corpses? Also, could you please help me take Xiaoyan to my master?"
"You're going out? Where are you going?" Grandpa Zhang asked in surprise.
"I'm going to find someone to ask about the Black Wolf Gang. I'll be back soon."
Lu Qing returned to the house and slung his battle sword over his shoulder.
A black figure appeared silently beside him.
"Xiao Li, where were you just now?"
Xiao Li barked and pointed towards the door with its paw.
Lu Qing looked and saw that it was a clump of grass next to the entrance of the courtyard.
It wasn't far from where Xiao Yan had been; at Xiao Li's speed, he could arrive in an instant.
No wonder he had been sensing a faint but dangerous aura nearby; it turned out this guy was hiding inside.
If he hadn't appeared at the last moment, Xiao Li probably wouldn't have been able to hold back.
If Xiao Li makes a move, those guys will probably suffer an even worse fate.
Lu Qing has truly witnessed the power of Xiao Li's claws recently.
It can be said that even though he has now reached the minor completion of the Qi and Blood Realm and his Four Directions Sword Technique has been further improved.
But he still had no confidence that he could withstand Xiao Li's claw.
"Well done." Lu Qing patted Xiao Li's head.
I was pleased with the little guy's patience and didn't blame it for not acting immediately.
Xiao Li was his biggest trump card, and he didn't want it to be exposed until the very last moment.
After giving the little beast a few instructions, Lu Qing carried his knife and walked out of the house.
He came up to Xiaoyan and ruffled her hair: "Xiaoyan, be good. Go stay with Grandpa Chen for a while. Your brother will be back soon. Don't be afraid. Your brother has defeated all the bad guys. They won't come to catch you again."
"Okay!" Xiaoyan nodded. "Then brother, come back quickly."
"I will." Lu Qing ruffled her hair again, then nodded to Grandpa Zhang. "Grandpa Zhang, thank you for your help."
Having said that, he slung the knife over his shoulder and walked out.
All the villagers, looking at Lu Qing's back, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, suddenly realized.
Unbeknownst to him, Lu Qing had grown much taller and was no longer the thin boy he used to be.
