Chapter 78
Wei Shan, nicknamed "Heart-Snatcher Wolf," was the ninth leader of the Black Wolf Gang and the master of Happy Fort. He was notorious for his cruel and cunning nature and insatiable greed.
Cultivation Level: Postnatal Qi and Blood Realm, adept in fist and claw techniques, with a penchant for extracting human hearts.
Lu Qing grinned as he read the information about the ninth leader of the Black Wolf Gang above.
As Mago had said, this master of Happy Fort was only at the Qi and Blood Realm.
He hadn't even reached the Great Completion of Qi and Blood, just like him, who had barely achieved the Small Completion of the Qi and Blood Realm.
He glanced at the few people beside him, all ordinary martial artists who had not yet entered the martial path.
Judging by their information, they were likely leaders in this fort, similar to Han Lao Wu.
"Everyone's here. Perfect, saves me the trouble of finding you all one by one."
Lu Qing's eyes sparkled with a strange light as he looked at the people above.
The few minions he had slain earlier hadn't lessened his murderous intent. On the contrary, it had only grown stronger.When the Heart-Snatcher Wolf saw Lu Qing's appearance clearly, he was taken aback.
He had initially thought it was an enemy of the Black Wolf Gang causing trouble.
Now, seeing it was a young man he'd never met before, he was surprised.
Feeling the surging Blood Qi from Lu Qing, his heart trembled.
To have reached the Qi and Blood Realm at such a young age, and with such abundant Blood Qi, was no less than his own.
He had also achieved the Small Completion of the Qi and Blood Realm in his teens!
Realizing this, the Heart-Snatcher Wolf's expression turned serious.
He knew that such a rare young genius often had a powerful background.
When had his Happy Fort provoked such a person?
Or was it that the main stronghold had angered someone they shouldn't have?
Various thoughts raced through his mind.
Yet, he smiled, "Young hero, who are you? Why are you causing trouble in my Happy Fort? Is there some misunderstanding? If we've done something wrong, we will certainly apologize."
His words startled the people beside him.
It was the first time they saw their leader being so polite, especially to a young boy.
The boy had come to cause trouble, killing people in the fort, yet their leader greeted him with a smile?
Who was this boy?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Qing again.
But with their strength not even breaking into the Qi and Blood Realm, they couldn't see through Lu Qing's background.
Hearing the Heart-Snatcher Wolf's probing question, Lu Qing's expression didn't change.
Indeed, those who could be fort masters were never brainless.
But he didn't want to waste words with them. The murderous intent in his heart made him unwilling to engage in false niceties with these people.
Moreover, he sensed more people were coming this way outside.
Obviously, other members of the fort were gathering.
Though Lu Qing didn't want to let anyone in Happy Fort go, he wasn't about to wait for them to organize their defenses.
So, facing the Heart-Snatcher Wolf's probe, he remained silent, taking a horse stance, body slightly lowered, assuming the starting form of the Four Directions Blade.
His entire Blood Qi erupted, and the murderous intent in his heart, no longer suppressed, surged towards the Heart-Snatcher Wolf.
Feeling this intense murderous intent, the Heart-Snatcher Wolf's face changed.
He knew there was no point in talking anymore.
The boy's deadly resolve told him everything.
Although he didn't know why Lu Qing held such intense murderous intent towards him, it didn't affect his ability to make the right choice.
"Attack! Kill this boy!"
The Heart-Snatcher Wolf waved his hand, giving the order.
However, faster than his command was Lu Qing's action.
As the first word left his mouth, Lu Qing's figure had already shot upwards, heading for the second floor.
By the time he finished speaking, Lu Qing had pounced in front of him. Using the momentum of his charge, both hands held the blade, slashing upwards towards the Heart-Snatcher Wolf!
Lu Qing poured all his strength into this strike.
Beyond the full burst of Blood Qi, it carried the boundless murderous intent he'd suppressed since arriving at Happy Fort.
As the blade slashed, Lu Qing's spirit seemed to undergo a transformation, his understanding of the Four Directions Blade elevating once again.
A thought of the initial evaluation of the Four Directions Blade by the anomalous power flashed through his mind.
The Four Directions Blade, heavy on momentum, leaned towards slaughter!
The Four Directions Blade had never been a technique of intricate moves.
It emphasized an all-or-nothing approach, full force in every strike, with a heart set on killing, cutting down all enemies before him!
The Heart-Snatcher Wolf didn't expect Lu Qing to come so swiftly and decisively.
Feeling the momentum of Lu Qing's blade, his expression drastically changed.
Immediately, he knew he couldn't take this blow head-on.
Otherwise, he would die!
Without time for any thought, instinctively, the Heart-Snatcher Wolf crossed his arms in front of him and stepped back with force.
Crash!!
Lu Qing's blade, fierce in momentum, sliced through the second-floor railing and floor without hindrance, cutting straight towards the Heart-Snatcher Wolf's chest, aiming to cleave him in half.
However, when the blade reached his crossed arms, Lu Qing felt a tremendous resistance, failing to sever them instantly!
Boom!!
The collision of powerful forces, coupled with the Heart-Snatcher Wolf's deliberate retreat, sent his body flying backward, crashing through the door behind him and out of sight.
"Big brother!!"
The other leaders, already intimidated by Lu Qing's aura, were now terrified upon seeing this.
They never imagined their powerful leader could be so easily sent flying with one strike!
"Where did this boy come from? Is this really a Qi and Blood Realm blade technique?!"
Rolling on the floor, throat sweet, chest tight, the Heart-Snatcher Wolf, already heavily injured internally, looked at his arms.
His custom-made, expensive steel guards, now bearing deep blade marks, completely torn, filled him with dread.
He never expected that, as a fellow Qi and Blood Realm martial artist, he couldn't withstand even one of Lu Qing's strikes.
"Escape!"
The Heart-Snatcher Wolf reacted immediately.
After a single exchange, he was heavily injured, his protective gear half-ruined.
He realized if he didn't flee now, he wouldn't leave here alive today!
Without hesitation, he got up, smashed the window behind him, and jumped outside.
"Trying to escape?"
Lu Qing instantly sensed the Heart-Snatcher Wolf's intent.
His blade traced an arc, heads flew.
The once arrogant leaders of Happy Fort were all beheaded by Lu Qing's single strike.
After dispatching the scum, Lu Qing used his strength to shatter the second-floor wooden floor, chasing after the Heart-Snatcher Wolf.
