Chapter 121
He hadn\'t expected the Black Wolf to attack so suddenly.
Already injured in the shoulder and not fully recovered, he dared not face this punch head-on. He stomped his foot, rapidly retreating to avoid the blow.
Boom!
The Black Wolf\'s punch missed, the force of the blow causing Xiao Tian and the others to pale and step back repeatedly.
"Not bad!"
Seeing Magu dodge his near sneak attack, the Black Wolf\'s eyes flashed with surprise.
However, having already attacked, he would not let it go so easily.
Seeing Magu retreat, he pressed his advantage, stepping forward and throwing another punch towards Magu\'s chest.This time, Magu had nowhere to retreat, for behind him was the tightly shut gate of the courtyard.
Seeing the punch nearing his face, Magu gritted his teeth, lifting his uninjured right hand to meet the blow head-on.
In that moment, Magu deeply regretted not bringing his battle knife in his haste. Without it, he was at a severe disadvantage.
The Black Wolf\'s strength far surpassed his. Even if he managed to block this punch, his right hand would likely be crippled.
Seeing Magu dare to raise his hand to block, the Black Wolf\'s eyes gleamed with cruelty.
Just as he was about to unleash his full strength to shatter Magu\'s arm, a piercing whistle suddenly sounded in his ear.
At the same time, a strong sense of danger surged within him, stabbing at the back of his head.
The Black Wolf was startled, hastily retracting his punch and twisting his body to strike behind him.
Bang!
Dust scattered as a fist-sized stone was shattered by his punch.
The shattered stone fragments flew in all directions, causing several unlucky members of the Black Wolf Gang to be struck, their heads bleeding and crying out in pain.
Yet, the Black Wolf had no time for them. Though he shattered the stone, his arm also trembled violently, his fist aching and bleeding.
The power within that stone was astonishing, comparable to his full-strength punch!
"Who is it!"
The Black Wolf was shocked, looking towards the tree where Lu Qing was hiding.
"Heh, I didn\'t expect to encounter the scum of the Black Wolf Gang here. What a pleasant surprise."
A voice rang out as a figure appeared atop the tree.
"Brother Lu Qing?!"
Magu, relieved to be alive, looked up in surprise.
"Young Master Lu?!"
Xiao Tian and the others were equally astonished.
"Brother Lu Qing, Young Master Lu?"
The Black Wolf heard their exclamations, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Lu Qing.
Seeing Lu Qing\'s youthful face, he couldn\'t help but be shocked.
It was hard to believe that such a young boy could throw a stone with such terrifying power.
The Black Wolf tried to sense Lu Qing\'s strength, but with his Qi and Blood concealed, he could not discern anything.
The other members of the Black Wolf Gang were equally disturbed.
No one expected their assailant to be such a young boy.
The Black Wolf, filled with uncertainty, demanded, "Kid, who are you?"
"An enemy." Lu Qing replied coldly from the tree, "You\'re looking for the one who destroyed Happy Fort? That was me."
Hearing this, the Black Wolf Gang was thrown into chaos again.
"It was you?" The Black Wolf\'s eyes sharpened, "What grudge do you have with us to slaughter the entire fort? Isn\'t that too ruthless?"
"Ruthless?" Lu Qing laughed, "It seems the Black Wolf Gang is truly oblivious to its own evil deeds."
"Enough. There\'s no reasoning with scum like you. You\'re just beasts in human skin."
"Kid, what did you say?!"
The Black Wolf Gang couldn\'t hold back. In the county, they had always been tyrannical. When had they ever been so humiliated?
Immediately, one of them, skilled with hidden weapons, threw a dart at Lu Qing, "Get down here, kid!"
The dart flew swiftly, aiming for Lu Qing\'s head.
Lu Qing remained calm, raising his fingers to catch the dart.
"Returning it to you!"
In the next instant, a white flash streaked through the air, followed by a scream.
The gang member who had thrown the dart fell to the ground, a large hole in his throat, blood gushing out. The dart was embedded in the ground beside him, the same one he had thrown at Lu Qing.
"Eighth Boss!"
"Eighth Brother!"
The Black Wolf Gang shouted in panic.
But the Eighth Boss, with his throat torn open, was beyond saving.
His eyes filled with terror, he gurgled but couldn\'t make a sound.
After struggling for a while, his eyes glazed over, his legs stretched out, and he died.
"Eighth Boss!"
The Black Wolf Gang was horrified.
Looking back at Lu Qing, fear crept into their eyes.
The Eighth Boss was a master at the Qi and Blood Realm, renowned for his hidden weapon skills in the county.
Yet, his sneak attack not only failed but got him killed by his own dart.
With a single move, Lu Qing had killed a martial artist at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm. What kind of terrifying figure was this?
"Old Eight!"
The Black Wolf, seeing his sworn brother dead, was equally enraged.
He glared at Lu Qing, "You ruthless brat, today I swear I won\'t be human if I don\'t kill you!"
"Scum like you don\'t deserve to be human. You\'re worse than pigs and dogs."
Lu Qing\'s tone was calm, but his words were cutting.
"Good, very good! I, the Black Wolf, swear that if I don\'t flay you, cut off your limbs, and hang you to dry for seven days, then capture and torture all your family and friends to death to avenge my brothers, I\'ll no longer be called human!"
The Black Wolf\'s rage was so intense his eyes turned red, his words dripping with venom.
Seeing him on the verge of madness, Magu and the others were terrified.
Especially Xiao Tian and the others, who felt their bodies trembling.
They knew that the Black Wolf was a madman who could do anything he said.
In the county, everyone knew that the Black Wolf was insane, sometimes acting completely recklessly.
This madness extended to the entire Black Wolf Gang, making them infamous for their viciousness.
No one in the west of the city wanted to provoke them unless absolutely necessary, for it meant facing a rabid attack.
This was why, despite not being the strongest, the Black Wolf Gang held a dominant position among the city\'s three major gangs.
Young Master Lu had infuriated these madmen, ensuring a deadly battle ahead.
"Yes, Boss, let\'s catch this brat and torture him to death to avenge Eighth Boss and Ninth Boss!"
"Make him tell us where his family is, catch them all!"
The gang\'s morale soared with their leader\'s words, their fear of Lu Qing vanishing.
Seeing their frenzy, Lu Qing\'s expression remained unchanged.
He mocked, "Is that all the Black Wolf Gang can say? I recall the Heart-Snatcher Wolf saying the same before I beheaded him."
"Good, very good!"
The Black Wolf was nearly speechless with rage. He no longer cared about their grudge. It didn\'t matter anymore.
All he wanted now was to capture Lu Qing and torture him to death.
"Get him down!"
At his command, the gang launched their attack.
Hidden weapons flew, arrows were shot, and even those without weapons threw stones and dirt at Lu Qing.
In an instant, all sorts of projectiles were hurled at him.
Despite witnessing Lu Qing\'s skill with hidden weapons, they didn\'t believe he could stand against such an onslaught.
Sure enough, as the projectiles flew, Lu Qing vanished from the tree.
He reappeared at the base, having evaded all attacks.
But there, someone was waiting.
"Die!"
The Black Wolf had anticipated this, using the projectiles to force Lu Qing down.
Seeing Lu Qing land, he struck with a fierce punch before Lu Qing could steady himself.
The Black Wolf\'s eyes gleamed with cruelty, confident that this punch would either severely injure or kill Lu Qing.
But Lu Qing remained unfazed.
He lightly grasped the Black Wolf\'s arm, using the force to propel himself backward, landing steadily.
Impossible!
The Black Wolf was shocked, unable to believe Lu Qing had so effortlessly neutralized his full-strength punch.
Even after exchanging blows, he couldn\'t gauge Lu Qing\'s level.
Lu Qing\'s Qi and Blood were entirely concealed, making him a mystery.
What kind of monster was this boy?
"Interested in fist techniques?"
Lu Qing looked at the Black Wolf with interest.
"Perfect, I\'ve been keen on fist techniques lately. Let\'s see how yours measure up."
"Arrogant brat!"
The Black Wolf, enraged, lunged at Lu Qing again.
He couldn\'t believe this young boy had a higher martial level than his decades of cultivation.
The Black Wolf\'s assault was fierce, his footwork agile, his hands forming claws, resembling a wolf king hunting its prey.
It was his renowned technique, the Black Wolf Fist.
This technique, passed down from a strange Internal Organs Realm man from the western border, was inspired by the life habits of the prairie wolves.
Ferocious and domineering, mastering it could lead to the coveted Internal Organs Realm.
Young, the Black Wolf had schemed his way into the strange man\'s trust, becoming his sole disciple.
Serving the man for three years, he finally received the true teachings of the Black Wolf Fist.
Once he had mastered
it, he revealed his true nature, poisoning the man and attacking when he was weakened, eventually killing him and taking everything he had.
Fleeing to the remote Cang County, he used the man\'s legacy to train and grow stronger, ultimately founding the Black Wolf Gang.
Throughout this journey, the Black Wolf Fist had been his key to establishing dominance in the west of the county.
Confident in his technique, he believed no one at the same level could match him.
With agile and mysterious footwork, the Black Wolf swiftly closed in on Lu Qing, his claws aiming for Lu Qing\'s throat.
"Good!"
Facing the ferocious attack, Lu Qing remained calm.
He advanced instead of retreating, his Qi and Blood exploding in an instant, shaking the surrounding air.
His shoulder sank, fist twisted, and with a step that shook the ground, his right fist shot out like thunder, aiming for the Black Wolf\'s heart.
Fierce Tiger Fist, Tiger\'s Heart Strike!
Roar!
The power behind Lu Qing\'s punch was ten times stronger than the Black Wolf\'s.
With a faint tiger\'s roar and the ground shaking beneath his feet, the punch was both fast and fierce.
"What?!"
The Black Wolf was utterly unprepared for such a powerful strike.
Before he could react, a sharp pain pierced his heart, blood spewing from his mouth.
He flew backward, crashing into the tree where Lu Qing had stood, showered in falling leaves.
A gaping hole in his chest revealed a fatal wound, piercing through him.
