They saw Lu Qing decapitate a person with a single stroke.
Then look around at the scene of corpses everywhere, blood flowing freely, and heads scattered all over the ground.
Magu and the others couldn't help but gasp.
They couldn't imagine what had happened here to make it so tragic.
Xiao Tian looked around and suddenly exclaimed urgently, "Master Ma, look over there!"
Magu looked over and saw a head rolling on the ground. The eyes, wide open in death, still held a look of terror, which was quite frightening.
"Heartbreaker... even he's dead?"
Magu's heart skipped a beat as he recognized the owner of the head.
Upon hearing the voice, Lu Qing turned around and looked at the person who had come.
That emotionless, icy gaze instantly frightened Xiao Tian and the others, causing them to take several steps back.
Even Ma Gu, a powerful expert in the Bone and Tendon Realm, felt his heart pound, a chill rise from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body go numb.
"Young Master Lu! It's us!"
Fearing that Lu Qing would directly swing his knife at them, Ma Gu forcibly suppressed the chill in his heart and hurriedly shouted.
There was no way around it; Lu Qing's current appearance was simply too terrifying.
His murderous aura was so intense, it was like a soul-reaping messenger emerging from hell, quite terrifying.
After staring intently at the group of people opposite him for a while, making Xiao Tian and the others tremble, the murderous intent in Lu Qing's eyes gradually subsided and he returned to calm.
He didn't ask Magu and the others why they came here.
Instead, he said directly, "You've come at the perfect time, Master Ma. I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"What is it, young brother Lu?"
Seeing that Lu Qing's murderous aura had subsided considerably, Ma Gu felt relieved and asked.
Lu Qing didn't say anything more. He used his knife to pick up a money bag from the ground and walked forward.
Magu was taken aback for a moment, then followed. The others hesitated for a moment before slowly catching up.
Lu Qing kept walking forward, and Xiao Tian and the others walked along, seeing the corpses lying on the ground on both sides, and were terrified.
They recognized that most of the corpses belonged to people from Happy Village, but there were also quite a few who were clearly gamblers or patrons of prostitutes who came to Happy Village for fun.
What could possibly have caused Lu Qing to go on such a killing spree?
Xiao Tian and the others looked at Lu Qing's retreating figure, feeling both fear and apprehension.
They never imagined that Lu Qing, who was usually so polite and courteous to everyone, would have such a cruel and murderous side.
Magu looked at the corpse on the ground and was also somewhat shocked.
He could tell that most of the corpses had been killed with a single blow while they were fleeing.
Some were clearly killed while kneeling and begging for mercy.
Even begging for mercy couldn't save his life, which shows how strong Lu Qing's murderous intent was at the time.
Lu Qing didn't stop along the way and went straight to a house.
Magu's gaze sharpened as he noticed that this house was different from the others in the village; it was built of stone.
Lu Qing pushed open the door to the room, and Ma Gu's eyes twitched again.
With the help of the outside lights, he saw that there were three more corpses inside the house.
However, compared to the gruesome scenes outside where people are often decapitated, the deaths of these three corpses were much more dignified.
At least, they can all be preserved with their bodies intact.
Magu was puzzled. What was Lu Qing's purpose in bringing them here? Could there be some mystery behind these three corpses?
Then he saw that Lu Qing didn't even glance at the three corpses, but continued walking inside, came to a fence, and cut the iron chain on the gate with a single stroke.
A few soft screams rang out, and Magu then realized that there were other people in the dimly lit corner.
It's also because he's been shocked by so many things since entering the village.
Otherwise, given his cultivation level at the Bone and Tendon Realm, he should have discovered that there were other people inside long ago.
“Master Ma, there are a few pitiful girls here, and there are also some pitiful people in the wooden building in the middle of the village. If possible, I hope you can help settle them down.”
"As for the resettlement costs..." Lu Qing paused for a moment before saying, "I think there is still a lot of silver in this village, which should be enough to settle them down."
Magu picked up a lantern by the door, went inside, and with the help of the light, finally saw the scene in the dimly lit corner.
He looked at the few little girls who were chained up, thin and bony, staring at him with terrified expressions.
He finally understood why Lu Qing was so furious and had gone on a killing spree.
Even he, seeing this scene before him, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rising within him.
“The Black Wolf Gang’s actions are going too far,” Ma Gu said in a deep voice. “Don’t worry, Brother Lu, I will find a way to take care of these poor children.”
“It’s not just these few.” Lu Qing shook his head. “In the wooden building, there are some other girls, most of whom were sold to this village against their will. I hope you can help settle them down. They don’t need to be well taken care of, just enough for them to have food and survive.”
Lu Qing knew that it was impossible for him to properly settle these girls.
He also lacks the energy and time.
Only people like Magu, with powerful family backgrounds, have the connections and influence to settle them.
After a moment's thought, Magu finally nodded: "Don't worry, I'll do my best to arrange it."
Thank you.
Lu Qing pushed open the gate and went inside. Under the girls' frightened gazes, several flashes of light appeared, severing all the iron chains binding their hands and feet.
This scene made Magu's eye twitch again.
In such a dimly lit environment, Lu Qing was able to cut the chains binding the girls' hands and feet so accurately without harming them in the slightest.
Even he wouldn't dare say he could easily achieve such mastery of the sword.
No wonder Lu Qing was able to destroy the entire Happy Village all by himself.
Even the ninth leader of the Black Wolf Gang, Heart-Piercing Wolf, was killed.
With his level of swordsmanship, who in the entire Happy Village could be his match?
"You lot, I've killed all the bad guys outside. You'll be going with this uncle now. He'll take care of you from now on. Don't worry, you won't go hungry anymore."
At this moment, Lu Qing spoke to the few little girls in the corner.
Lu Qing paused for a moment when he saw the girl who was the last to be brought in.
He took a money pouch from his pocket.
“This is the money your father got from selling you. Take it to buy medicine for your mother and cure her illness as soon as possible. As for your father,” Lu Qing paused for a moment before saying, “I have already killed him.”
The girl's eyes widened suddenly, and she stared blankly at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing didn't care what her mood was, put the money bag in her hand, and then walked out.
Magu followed them out and gave Xiaotian and the others a few instructions, telling them to comfort the girls and clean up the mess.
After finishing this task, he saw Lu Qing walking towards the edge of the village and quickly went up to him, calling out, "Brother Lu, where are you going?"
"I have some things I need to think about alone. I'll visit you in a couple of days to thank you, Mr. Ma."
Upon hearing this, Magu stopped in his tracks.
He glanced at the corpses scattered all around him, but ultimately decided not to follow.
He simply watched as Lu Qing, carrying his battle sword, slowly left the village.
