Chapter 120: Are They All Dead?

The crowd at Li Family Fort was instantly stunned by the powerful aura Lu Yu exuded, standing there dumbfounded one by one, the words they had just heard echoing continuously in their minds.

So, this young man who came from Lu Family Stockade was not at all what they had imagined—someone carrying a bow to curry favor with them?

On the contrary, he was actually here to demand people?

Where on earth did he get the nerve?

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

Even Li Laosan himself was stunned with shock.

All these years, not even his two own brothers had ever spoken to him in such a tone, let alone anyone else in the Zhai.

This brat before his eyes was actually being so disrespectful to him again and again?

Who exactly gave him this courage?

"Stinking brat, do you know who you are talking to?"

The crooked-mouthed man was the first to come to his senses and shouted clamorously, "Now, immediately, kneel down and apologize to Brother San right away! Otherwise, when the time comes, let alone you, even your entire Lu Family Stockade will be wiped clean from this world!"

"That's right, you wet-behind-the-ears little brat, daring to talk to our Brother San like this—I think you're tired of living!"

"Why waste words with him? Just do it and slaughter him!"

Although the few men shouted fiercely, they dared not make the slightest move with their hands; they had to wait for Li Laosan to nod and signal before they dared to take action.

Lu Yu turned a blind eye to all of this, his gaze fixed tightly on Li Laosan.

If the other party struck first, he would never be soft-hearted. Of course, he would spare one or two lives in order to ask about the whereabouts of Liu Shu and the others.

Just as the atmosphere on the scene was tense to the extreme, as if a conflict would erupt the next second.

Li Laosan, whose face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, suddenly began to laugh.

He looked at Lu Yu with a playful expression and said, "So, you came here single-handedly just to inquire about the whereabouts of Liu Tianhong and the others?"

"That's right."

Lu Yu responded coldly.

"Interesting, truly very interesting."

Li Laosan's laughter grew louder and louder, until later he was almost laughing to the point of tears.

"Brat, should I praise you for your commendable courage, or call you as stupid as a pig!"

His gaze gradually became cold and bone-chilling.

"You want to inquire about the whereabouts of Liu Tianhong and the others, right? Fine, I'll tell you!"

"Brother San..."

The crooked-mouthed man on the side wanted to say something but stopped.

Telling others so easily, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Furthermore, this person before them was just a little brat, why bother with him?

Li Laosan turned his head and glanced at him; the latter was immediately so scared that he shivered, then glared fiercely at Lu Yu.

It was all this brat's fault for causing him to be glared at by Brother San; he would have to deal with him properly later.

Lu Yu's heart jumped into his throat.

He only heard Li Laosan say slowly: "They are dead."

"Ah?"

The crooked-mouthed man and the others were stunned, and they all turned their gazes toward Li Laosan.

Liu Tianhong and the others are dead? No way? They even saw them going to build the wall this morning!

"!!!"

As for Lu Yu, he only felt as if his head had been struck hard by some heavy object, and his ears were buzzing.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

Lu Yu's eyes instantly turned blood-red. Although he had long since prepared for the worst, when he heard this result with his own ears, a monstrous rage uncontrollably burned through his entire body in an instant. He growled in a low voice:

"I'll give you one last chance—what exactly happened to Liu Shu and the others?"

As this roar fell, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in the hearts of the people opposite.

They felt as if the person standing before them was not a human, but an Intermediate Fierce Beast about to go mad! No, even more dangerous than an Intermediate Fierce Beast!

If they didn't tell the truth and truly provoked the other party completely, they would really die!

"Hahahaha."

Li Laosan, however, let out a burst of unbridled laughter and said with a face full of mockery: "You're giving me a chance? Never mind once, even ten times, my answer won't change."

"Liu Tianhong and the others are dead; I killed them. Along with their families, I dealt with them all with my own hands. Oh my, how pitiful."

He smacked his lips and continued: "You didn't see how miserable that little girl looked when she died by my hands."

The others looked at each other and hurriedly chimed in.

"That's right, that's right. Liu Tianhong and the others were eating inside and looking outside—why keep them if we don't kill them? To waste food?"

"Trash like them deserve to die!"

"Brat, didn't you want to know their whereabouts? Now that we've told you, what can you do?"

A group of people, relying on their numbers, spoke without fear.

With so many people on their side, and Brother Li Laosan being a Body Tempering Third Layer Martial Artist, how could they possibly be afraid of a little brat?

This was simply a fantasy!

At this moment, Li Laosan looked at Lu Yu with slanted, contemptuous eyes, his expression as if saying: I've already said it, what can you do to me?

Lu Yu, at this time, instead forcibly suppressed the surging waves of rage in his heart, took a deep breath, and asked: "So, Liu Shu and the others really died at your hands?"

"That's right."

Li Laosan admitted it without hesitation, "And then? What do you want to say? Or, do you want to make a move and kill us?"

The others heard this and all burst into loud laughter.

Kill them?

It would be good enough if they didn't kill this brat.

"Congratulations, you guessed right!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Yu's right hand moved like lightning, pulling six arrows from the Arrow Quiver behind his back and quickly nocking them onto the string.

Immediately following, with a loud Explode, the six arrows shot out like meteors.

Everything happened too suddenly, in the blink of an eye; furthermore, the people of Li Family Fort had never expected that Lu Yu would actually dare to strike first.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

A series of crisp sounds rang out.

At such a close distance, let alone a Body Tempering Martial Artist, even an Intermediate Fierce Beast would find it difficult to withstand the power of these arrows and would certainly be pierced through.

Therefore, without any suspense, the six people who were hit flew backward instantly like kites with broken strings, a blood hole the size of a bowl appearing shockingly on their chests—the scene was appalling!

Two of the arrows had astonishing power, piercing through two other people as well, their momentum undiminished as they continued to fly hundreds of meters away.

Li Laosan flew through the air, his head desperately lowered, looking at the blood hole in his chest with a face full of disbelief, his mouth wide open as if wanting to say something, but a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out uncontrollably.

Immediately after, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness completely.

"Third Brother!"

"Third Brother!"

The exclamations only arrived belatedly.

But just at this moment, Lu Yu once again pulled four arrows from the Arrow Quiver with extreme speed.

This time, his speed was shockingly fast, his arms even appearing as afterimages in the air.

That's right, he consumed Blood Qi Power to activate the Continuous Shot Skill.

The moment it was activated, he felt the Blood Qi in his body decrease by a large chunk instantly, yet his two arms felt as if they had been fitted with Powerful springs, their speed suddenly increasing twofold.

Therefore, almost half a second later, another loud Explode sounded, and four arrows pierced through four people like arrows piercing a willow leaf; one of the arrows had such peerless power that it actually pierced through three people in a row!

A burst of screams suddenly erupted in the field, but they stopped abruptly soon after.

Finally, someone reacted and hurriedly drew their bow and nocked an arrow at Lu Yu.

Twenty meters, not even thirty meters away; for them, they could hit the target even with their eyes closed.

"Xiu! Xiu!"

The sound of breaking air suddenly rang out, and three or four arrows flew rapidly toward Lu Yu like arrows released from a string.

Lu Yu sneered and quickly activated the Aiming state.

In his eyes, these arrows, which didn't even reach 200 meters per second, were simply as slow as a snail crawling.

He just dodged slightly and easily avoided these few aggressive arrows. Then, he quickly pulled out three arrows, nocked them on the string, and released.

Following this action, the Blood Qi in his body seemed to be consumed quite a bit more.

"Ah!"

Several screams came from not far away; the few people who had just been shooting arrows at him clutched their chests and fell down in pain.

"How could it be like this? How could it be like this?"

The crooked-mouthed man was still alive, and witnessing this scene, his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

The brat before his eyes was simply a monster! A monster through and through!

How much time had passed? Not even three or four seconds, and more than half of his side had already fallen; even Third Brother and Brother Chen had been shot dead in the first instance.

How could he possibly be his opponent?

Thinking of this, he hardened his heart, simply threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and ran for his life.

Immediately after, he heard the sound of a wild wind howling behind him, a chill rose instantly on his back, and then his whole body felt as if it had been struck by a huge force, flying directly into the air.

A sharp pain engulfed him completely like a surging tide.

Realizing something was wrong, he wasn't the only one who ran for his life.

Unfortunately, their speed was far from fast enough; let alone eight hundred meters, they couldn't even run fifty meters.

After killing the largest number of enemies with a Volley, Lu Yu began to pick off the rest one by one.

Every time he shot an arrow, the Blood Qi in his body was constantly being consumed, though fortunately, the rate of consumption was much slower than before.

More than ten seconds later, only one person remained in the field.

That person had long since been scared into wetting his pants, sitting paralyzed on the ground, his body shaking incessantly like a sieve.

Seeing Lu Yu aim his arrow at him, he hurriedly raised his hands, using all his strength to shout at Lu Yu: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, they aren't dead! They really aren't dead!"

"What did you say?"

A trace of astonishment appeared on Lu Yu's originally indifferent face.

Liu Shu and the others aren't dead?

Is this true or false?

That person cried and complained with snot and tears: "Third Brother, pui pui pui, Li Laosan, Li Laosan was lying to you; he just wanted to provoke you, so he said that on purpose. Actually, Liu Tianhong and the others aren't dead at all; they are all living perfectly well."

Lu Yu's pupils shrank slightly, then he said coldly: "How do I know if you are lying to me just to stay alive?"

"Little brother, I, Lao Zheng, wouldn't dare to lie to you even if I had the guts of a bear! If you don't believe me, I can swear, take a Poison oath! If there is half a lie in what I just said, let me, Zheng Hao, die a horrible death!"

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Yu with a pitiful face, begging bitterly: "Little brother, spare my life, spare my life."

In his heart, he had greeted Li Laosan's ancestors for eighteen generations a hundred times over!

Damn you, would it kill you to speak properly? You had to go and provoke him! Now it's great, everyone has to be buried with you!

But he forgot that he was also one of them.

"They really aren't dead?"

A glimmer of hope rose in Lu Yu's heart.

"They really aren't dead!"

Zheng Hao's heart likewise ignited with a glimmer of hope, and his face immediately filled with a fawning smile as he said, "Li Laosan didn't like the look of Liu Tianhong and the others, so he sent them off with the others in the Zhai to expand the perimeter wall.

If you don't believe me, I can take you over there—no, no, no, I can bring them here so you can see for yourself."

He hurriedly corrected himself.

"No need."

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, he slowly drew back his bowstring.

"No! No!"

Zheng Hao was instantly pierced through by the arrow, collapsed to the ground, and ceased to breathe.

"Trying to provoke me?"

Lu Yu looked at the gradually cooling corpse of Li Laosan not far away and slowly shook his head.

He had an intuition that even if he hadn't come to find Li Laosan this time, a conflict between his own Zhai and Li Family Fort would have been inevitable in the future.

Moreover, the words of that fellow named Zheng Hao were not necessarily trustworthy.

After all, when a person is on the verge of death, what kind of poisonous oath wouldn't they make?

"I truly hope Liu Shu and the others were indeed sent to expand the wall as that guy said, and didn't meet with misfortune," Lu Yu whispered to himself, gazing in the direction of Li Family Fort.

His gaze shifted downward to see the ground covered in severed limbs and remains, with fresh blood pooling into a small puddle, and a heavy, bloody stench spreading all around.

Given this situation, it probably wouldn't take long—not even waiting until nightfall—before Fierce Beasts like Wasteland wolves would swarm in, following the scent.

Things had reached this point, and no amount of lamenting would be of any use. From the moment he killed Li Laosan, it was already fated that he would be locked in a life-or-death feud with Li Meng.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and lifted his feet to walk forward, retrieving his scattered arrows as he walked, while simultaneously keeping an eye out for any loot worth taking.

However, the result left him quite disappointed; these people from Li Family Fort were dirt poor. It seemed that regardless of whether they were ordinary villagers or Martial Artists, their status in Li Family Fort was not very high.

Walking to Li Laosan's side, Lu Yu bent down to pick up the Telescope from his hand, then reached out and rummaged through his clothing pockets for a while.

Upon rummaging, he pulled out a palm-sized little white bottle; it appeared to be made of ceramic, with three small characters written on it.

"Blood Qi Pill?" Lu Yu read the name on the bottle and couldn't help but frown.

A Pill? Judging by the name, it seemed related to Blood Qi; could it be used to restore Blood Qi?

Just then, an intense feeling of exhaustion suddenly washed over him, and Lu Yu nearly lost his footing; his arms felt as if they had instantly lost all strength, and even his left arm holding the bow felt exceptionally strained.

"This is the aftereffect of using Blood Qi Power," Lu Yu said with a bitter smile, only then remembering that he had nearly overlooked this point.
