Chapter 331

Lu Maoxian didn't know who had ambushed him. He intended to call for support, but the Tang Dao turned its blade and slashed again.

Ever since the "Personal Residence" changed its temperament, Li Banfeng could go wherever he thought of when he stepped out the door.

This brought Li Banfeng quite a bit of trouble, but this time, Li Banfeng really took advantage of the "Personal Residence."

Before leaving, he repeatedly observed Lu Maoxian's bedroom, his mind full of the bedroom's appearance. As soon as he stepped out, he really arrived at Lu Maoxian's bedroom.

A residential cultivator who has just stepped out is easily overlooked. Coupled with Lu Maoxian's weak body, he was struck by the Tang Dao in one blow.

Lu Maoxian shouted: "Attacking without declaring war is not..."

Li Banfeng suddenly appeared and directly slit Lu Maoxian's throat.

He really wanted to drag Lu Maoxian back to the "Personal Residence" to interrogate him slowly, but he couldn't return to the "Personal Residence" now; the key was still in Black Stone City.

Lu Maoxian, the old master of the Lu family, could be considered a hero of his generation. Clutching his throat and struggling for a moment, he died just like that.

What a pity.

What a pity for the meal the lady made.

Li Banfeng didn't stay long. This was Lu Maoxian's residence; he had to leave as soon as possible.

Carrying a pile of magic treasures, he had expected a fierce battle, but he really didn't expect Lu Maoxian to be seriously injured and have almost no ability to resist.

Everyone in the house had been sent out, and Li Banfeng left very smoothly.

But there was one thing Li Banfeng still hadn't figured out.

Why exactly did he tie me down?

Leaving the mansion, Li Banfeng first returned to Xiaoyao Wu. According to his speculation, Lu Maoxian tying him down was very likely to get rid of Ma Wu.

Running near Xiaoyao Wu, Li Banfeng stopped his steps.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening.

The gas lamp box at the entrance of Xiaoyao Wu was lit, and people were coming and going; business was good.

There was a White Poplar Tea House to the east of Xiaoyao Wu, which was also the time for business.

But the tea house was closed.

Xiaoyao Wu was operating as usual, proving Ma Wu was fine.

The tea house being closed wasn't fresh news; perhaps it was for cleaning, perhaps for renovations.

But with so many things happening today, Li Banfeng felt there was another possibility.

Someone had rented the tea house and was monitoring Xiaoyao Wu.

I was tied down in Black Stone Slope, and Ma Wu was being monitored, so who was going to have trouble?

Li Banfeng asked the glove: "Who do you think it could be?"

The glove panted for a moment and said: "Who? Not me! Catch a thief, catch the loot!"

"Why are you panting like this?"

"Panting? Maybe it's because I ran too fast just now!"

"Asking you is asking in vain. Better to go ask them."

Li Banfeng came near the tea house silently, took out a music box, and wound it up.

In Lu Chunying's residence, Lu Maoxian's daughter, Lu Dongchun, and son, Lu Dongtang, had already led assassins into the living room.

Lu Chunying wasn't in the living room; only one person was sitting on the sofa.

Lu Dongliang's legal wife, Duan Shaoxia.

What was she doing here?

This matter was originally supposed to be smeared on her. How should she be dealt with here?

Lu Dongtang was stunned for a moment.

Lu Dongchun didn't delay the battle opportunity and ordered them to act immediately.

Kill her!

Just say the two families had a conflict and Duan Shaoxia and Lu Chunying both died. That would make sense!

In Lu Dongtang's cognition, Duan Shaoxia was just a "white lamb." Killing her wouldn't be difficult.

Duan Shaoxia raised her head and scanned everyone, her eyes filled with a trace of tears.

Everyone hesitated for a moment; they felt they shouldn't harm this pitiful woman.

Only Lu Dongchun didn't hesitate. She flicked a dozen sewing needles from her hand toward Duan Shaoxia.

Duan Shaoxia didn't dodge, just sat there, fear, grievance, and a forced resilience on her face.

The sewing needles didn't hit Duan Shaoxia. Two vases fell from the second-floor stairwell, acting like two guards and blocking all the sewing needles.

The vases fell, porcelain shards splashed, and several subordinates who rushed to the front were injured by the shards.

It was Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang!

He was behind the railing on the second floor.

The madam acting as bait on the first floor, and the branch guards maneuvering on the second floor?

This situation was incomprehensible to Lu Dongtang.

The vases fell one after another, and the subordinates retreated one after another.

Lu Dongchun didn't retreat.

A piece of broken porcelain hit Lu Dongchun's face, seemingly embedded in the flesh.

Lu Dongchun took the porcelain shard off her face. A wound hung on her cheek, but not a single drop of blood flowed, and there was no trace of pain on her exquisite face.

Lu Dongtang jumped to the second floor to deal with Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang.

Lu Dongchun continued to attack Duan Shaoxia. Duan Shaoxia took out a pistol, held the grip with both hands, and pointed it tremblingly at Lu Dongchun. Judging from her expression, she wanted to shoot but seemed to lack the courage.

To others, this was the final resistance made by a woman driven to desperation.

All the assassins were somewhat hesitant about whether they should act against Duan Shaoxia.

Only Lu Dongchun didn't hesitate, and she wasn't afraid of bullets.

But after Duan Shaoxia fired, Lu Dongchun regretted it.

What came out of Duan Shaoxia's gun wasn't a bullet; it was oil.

This pistol, which resembled a water gun, sprayed a mass of oil.

Oil was very rare in Puluo Continent because it was difficult to preserve.

This made Lu Dongchun extremely terrified. She wanted to take off her clothes, and Duan Shaoxia, with tears in her eyes, threw over a candle holder.

A helpless woman fighting back desperately, throwing whatever she could get her hands on—this was very reasonable.

Lu Dongchun's clothes had oil on them, and when they touched the candle holder, they caught fire.

Catching fire didn't matter; Lu Dongchun had a way to deal with it.

She took off her outer shirt, but the oil had seeped into her undershirt and was still on fire.

She took off the outermost undershirt, but the oil had seeped into the second undershirt and was still on fire.

Lu Dongchun took off a dozen undershirts one after another, and the fire was finally extinguished.

The oil couldn't have seeped through so quickly. Even with special additives, it shouldn't have seeped through Lu Dongchun's clothes so quickly.

Lu Dongchun looked at Duan Shaoxia, expressionless: "You have cultivation; this is your technique."

Duan Shaoxia shook her head repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

She was just a weak woman; how could she possibly use techniques?

Lu Chunying, hiding on the second floor, looked at Lu Dongchun and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what kind of cultivation is this?"

Xiao Yeci was also at a loss and shook her head repeatedly.

Today's Madam Duan made her unable to understand.

The fighting on the second floor was fierce. Lu Dongtang led a group of subordinates and fought Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang and a group of branch guards in the dark.

The situation on the first floor was relatively simple. Lu Dongchun and Duan Shaoxia were competing one-on-one, and none of the other subordinates stepped forward to help.

Let alone them, when Duan Shaoxia used her technique, even Lu Dongjun couldn't bear to make a move.

But Lu Dongchun could make a move, and her strikes were very vicious. Her sleeves and lapels grew long and short, several times nearly strangling Duan Shaoxia.

Duan Shaoxia barely managed to cope, holding a pair of scissors, eyes closed, seemingly stabbing blindly, but in fact, every strike was aimed at a vital point.

Lu Dongchun was covered in wounds, but it didn't affect her movements. Whether it was weapons or fists and kicks, it seemed nothing could hurt her.

She quickly forced Duan Shaoxia into a corner.

There was a little oil left in the pistol. Duan Shaoxia fired it with tears in her eyes, but failed to hit.

Having been ambushed by Duan Shaoxia before, Lu Dongchun wouldn't fall for it a second time.

Duan Shaoxia, shivering, had nowhere to run. Lu Dongchun took off her own clothes. The clothes flew into mid-air, as if they had life, and covered Duan Shaoxia's head.

"Ah~~" Duan Shaoxia exclaimed, waving her arms vigorously, seemingly struggling helplessly.

Two silk threads flew out from the clothes and landed in Lu Dongchun's hands. Lu Dongchun pulled them suddenly, wanting to tighten the clothes.

If she really tightened them, Duan Shaoxia's head would turn into meat paste.

Rrrrip!

The clothes shattered.

Duan Shaoxia had struggled out of the clothes!

Lu Dongchun was expressionless, but her eyes were wide open.

She was very surprised; her clothes couldn't have shattered so easily.

Looking at the flying broken cloth, Lu Dongchun saw several small black holes.

Lu Dongchun's pupils contracted, and she hurriedly lowered her head to look at the clothes on her body.

She retreated several steps quickly; her reaction was as if she had caught fire.

For Lu Dongchun, the current situation was even more dangerous than catching fire.

Many small black holes appeared on her body, and things were wriggling inside the holes.

Clothes-eating moths!

The reason the clothes shattered was that they had been eaten by clothes-eating moths.

Lu Dongchun hurriedly took off several layers of clothes, but it was to no avail; these insects had eaten very deeply.

Where did the clothes-eating moths come from?

Lu Yuanxin, a third-layer insect cultivator, was hiding on the second floor, manipulating the insects.

From the moment he saw Lu Dongchun, he had been gathering the clothes-eating moths from the surroundings.

These clothes-eating moths ate quickly but didn't move quickly. Duan Shaoxia and Lu Dongchun fighting was to lure Lu Dongchun near the clothes-eating moths.

The insects, stimulated by the insect cultivator's technique, were frantically eating Lu Dongchun's clothes.

Lu Dongchun persisted for a moment and jumped out the window to escape.

For her, the damage she had just received was very fatal.

Once Lu Dongchun left, Lu Dongtang was somewhat panicked.

According to the previously formulated tactics, all variables in the battle were to be completed by Lu Dongchun.

Lu Dongchun was supposed to deal with Duan Shaoxia and should have won easily, but she didn't win.

And now that she had suddenly fled, Lu Dongtang and Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang were forced into a hard fight.

A hard fight was the best choice for Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang because it didn't require making decisions.

Lu Dongtang and Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang were equal in cultivation, but Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang had spent his whole life on the edge of a blade, and Zhen Jinchen and Cao Zhida had also made their names through fighting; they had the advantage in experience.

The battle reached a stalemate, and Lu Dongtang fought more and more bitterly.

Duan Shaoxia cried to the assassins on the first floor: "How could you? How dare you?"

Everyone was at a loss, and suddenly they saw Duan Shaoxia's gaze sink, as if a figure had flashed by.

Indeed, a figure had flashed by. Duan Shaoxia saw it, but most of the assassins didn't.

After the figure disappeared, sounds rang out in the hall, and several people's bodies exploded into shattered flesh.

"Walking Horse Watching Flowers" technique.

Li Banfeng had arrived.

He had dealt with the group of thugs at the White Poplar Tea House, asked for the truth, first notified Ma Wu to gather helpers, and then immediately rushed to Lu Chunying's residence.

He quickly went to the second floor, brought Xiao Yeci and Lu Chunying, mother and daughter, to the bedroom, and came to the window.

Xiao Yeci said happily: "Benefactor, you've come. We mother and daughter really owe you too much."

Li Banfeng signaled them to be quiet.

He kept looking out the window, ready with the "Broken Path Opening Road" technique.

There were still variables in the matter, and the variables were very large.

Dealing with this group of assassins wasn't difficult, but there were some people who were not easy to deal with who had already arrived outside the courtyard.

Where did these people come from?

The assassins on the first floor saw the shattered corpses on the ground and were terrified.

Some of them had seen the fifth-layer traveling cultivator technique and knew this was "Walking Horse Watching Flowers."

But the fifth-layer traveling cultivator technique consumed a huge amount of energy. The fact that the opponent dared to use it proved that their cultivation was far higher than theirs.

Encountering this situation, the assassins had no heart to fight and rushed out of the residence one after another.

They got out of the residence, but they couldn't get out of the courtyard.

Zhang Xiuling, the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, had surrounded the mansion with her subordinates.

Zhang Xiuling ordered that anyone who came out of the residence was to be killed without mercy.

Not a single assassin who escaped the residence ran away; they were all cleaned up by Zhang Xiuling.

Zhang Xiuling shouted at the door: "Sister, I'm here. Should I go in now? Say something!"

Duan Shaoxia shouted: "Little sister, come in quickly! This group of beasts wants to kill me!"

Li Banfeng frowned.

Zhang Xiuling had actually come for Duan Shaoxia.

Watching Zhang Xiuling lead people into the mansion, Lu Dongtang was terrified. The situation wasn't favorable, and now they didn't even have the advantage in numbers.

Lu Dongtang wanted to run away, but running away wasn't that easy.

Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang seized the opportunity, kicked Lu Dongtang over, and stepped on him.

Other assassins stopped fighting one after another and didn't dare to move randomly.

Duan Shaoxia shouted: "Chunying, come out. I have something to say to you."

Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang was stunned. The house was now full of Hundred Flowers Sect people.

Seeing Seeing Zuo Wugang didn't know when Madam Duan had dealings with the Hundred Flowers Sect.

Xiao Yeci hugged Lu Chunying: "Little girl, you can't go out."

Lu Chunying looked at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng asked: "Do you dare to go out?"

Lu Chunying was silent for a long time, then raised her head and said: "If you want to fight, fight this time. If you want to run, run for a lifetime. With Seventh Brother here, I dare!"

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat: "Go."

PS: At Lu Maoxian's residence, Lu Yuanxin had once been humiliated by Lu Dongtang.
