Chapter 77: A Beggar? Lu Ren!!

"Today, this old man shall slaughter the city!"

When the old man's words fell, almost no one took them seriously; some even sneered in disdain.

"So what if you killed Fu Xu'an? His talent was base to begin with; anyone with hands and feet could have put him to death."

"If you think you can speak of slaughtering the city based on that alone, then you underestimate the people of my Chunfeng City!"

Immediately, some revealed unkind looks, cautiously stepping forward to surround Mo Wugui.

"Kill him!"

"If we don't kill him today, we will surely be blamed by the City Lord."

"Take his head and go claim credit from the City Lord."

"Kill!"

The swarming crowd closed in, and Mo Wugui watched them quietly.

Even though there were several with Supreme Saint strength among the crowd, he remained unafraid, standing calmly in place.

"A bunch of rabble... that is all."

"Ye Cha, kill them."

This day.

Red mist soaked through Chunfeng City.

Some said they saw a dragon in Chunfeng City.

A red dragon descended upon the world, fangs bared.

Some said Chunfeng City became a river of blood, a land of misery.

It took only a single day.

All ten million residents within the city died without a burial place.

Others said they witnessed a gray-robed old man walking away from Chunfeng City with a composed gait.

Looking at his destination...

He was heading straight toward Wanren City.

After the gray-robed old man left, some people, unafraid of death, entered Chunfeng City, only to find that all the residents in the city had had their heads devoured by an unknown Fierce Beast.

Fresh blood flowed throughout the city.

This Chunfeng City, which took pride in its blooming flowers and gentle spring breezes, had ultimately turned into a bloody, deathly silent city.

Opinions varied.

Yet no one could guess that the reason for Chunfeng City's destruction was simply because the City Lord's only son had offended someone he should not have.

Not a single speck of blood stained the gray robe on Mo Wugui's body.

He had been walking for several days.

Every step was Shrinking Ground to an Inch.

After several days, Mo Wugui finally arrived at his ultimate destination.

—Wanren City.

The city gates were wide open.

The guards in the city were performing their duties faithfully.

Countless cultivators were coming and going.

On the gate tower of the city gate, there was a highly conspicuous "Lu" character emblem.

Mo Wugui, like an ordinary old man, walked calmly into Wanren City.

The moment he stepped through the city gate, a dripping killing intent bloomed in his eyes.

Lu Ren!

He had come to take his life! At the same time that Mo Wugui entered the city, there was also a low-profile young man wearing a hood.

Beside him nestled a beauty in a light blue precious dress, dressed as a married woman, her hair adorned with powder-soft hairpins, her face covered only by a white veil, through which a faint, gentle smile could be seen.

The young man had a powerful, muscular build and carried twin swords on his back; he lifted a corner of his hood, revealing an extremely handsome face.

Looking at the prosperous Wanren City before him, the corners of his lips curled upward.

"... Finally arrived."

"Lin Xiu is here, right."

Mentioning this name, the beauty beside him suddenly revealed a somewhat aggrieved expression.

She reached out and grabbed the man's sleeve, tugging at it.

"You must avenge me."

"Back then, I never thought of breaking off our engagement; if it weren't for Lin Xiu relying on his father, I would never have been with him under any circumstances." Her face was full of grievance.

Seeing such an expression on a face of peerless beauty, one could not help but feel pity.

Long Tian'ao hurriedly spoke to soothe her, grabbing her hand with one of his and patting it in his palm.

"Don't worry."

"I understand everything."

"Lin Xiu is nothing but a petty person who bullies others with his influence." A hint of mockery appeared in his eyes, "I thought he was how capable, but he is just a loser to me."

"Fleeing here... it must be for the Life-Extending Pill, but what a pity, I gave him hope, and now I will personally shatter that hope."

"So what if he has a Life-Extending Pill?" A touch of arrogance appeared between Long Tian'ao's brows, "I have never believed in those external objects, nor have I ever feared anyone."

"Lin Xiu, I can kill him once, I can kill him twice; I let him run away last time, but that will be impossible this time."

Adoration and admiration immediately flowed into the eyes of Feng Ruyan.

She nestled sweetly against Long Tian'ao and smiled, her voice becoming coquettish.

"I naturally know."

"You are the only peerless, heaven-standing and earth-supporting great hero in this world."

"I have never regretted guarding my purity while waiting for you." Feng Ruyan declared her true heart, and the two gazed at each other affectionately on the main street, completely unable to accommodate anyone else.

Passersby:...

Although Wanren City is a frontier city, it contains countless powerhouses.

Coupled with the recent turmoil of the auction and the gathering of the Demon Race, this place has already become the focus of attention for more than half of Dongzhou.

Let alone the Saint Realm.

Even Supreme Saints are numerous here.

People come and go, the flow of the crowd is endless.

Only one man and one woman stand in the center of the main street, gazing at each other affectionately.

Passersby are all chilled by this.

"... Could it be that they think this is their own bed?"

"Who took a dump here?"

The Old Beggar, sitting on the ground holding a broken bowl, rubbed his nose and turned his back with a face full of disgust.

Feng Ruyan and Long Tian'ao are practitioners after all, with sharp ears and bright eyes, so they naturally did not miss what the Old Beggar said.

Her expression changed in an instant.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Tian'ao!"

Feng Ruyan was flushed red with humiliation, her eyes pleading and aggrieved, brimming with tears.

How could Long Tian'ao bear to let his sweetheart suffer such grievances? He immediately drew his long sword with a backhand motion, his expression fierce.

The tip of the sword pointed at the Old Beggar.

"What kind of dirty, stinking thing dares to bark in front of me."

"Wanren City is nothing more than this, even a beggar on the side of the road dares to speak such big words."

"Today I shall act on behalf of heaven and let you know who cannot be provoked!"

He swung his long sword, and a faint, evil purple light could be seen flashing by.

The tip of the sword was about to slash across the Old Beggar's neck.

But at this very moment, the Old Beggar turned his head slightly.

He had exposed his back to Long Tian'ao's sword, leaving his weaknesses completely open, but at this moment... Long Tian'ao suddenly felt as if he were being stared at by a pair of eyes.

Even though the Old Beggar did not turn around, that feeling of being watched could not dissipate.

Just as a vague sense of unease arose in his heart, he saw the Old Beggar extend two fingers and pinch backward.

The fierce offensive of the long sword stopped instantly between his fingers.

Long Tian'ao's expression changed.

How could a mere beggar possibly block his sword?

"You are not a beggar, who are you?" He asked sternly, shocked by the Old Beggar's strength; his eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized, becoming extremely furious.

"You are Lu Ren, aren't you?"

"Lu Ren, to think that you, a dignified Clan Head, would actually use such a method to deceive me."

"You are truly shameless!"

Qingchengzi:...

Even he could not help but reveal a dazed and foolish expression.

Huh? What? Who is he? (End of chapter)
