Chapter 850: No more ties, tears welling up

At this moment, Lu Cheng's face was pale, beads of sweat as large as beans dripping down his forehead. His whole body was limp on the ground; where was there any of his previous majesty?

Watching Su Hang approach, Lu Cheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Brother Su, spare me this once. I know I was wrong; I won't dare to do it again in the future."

At this very moment, Lu Cheng's intestines were green with regret. Why did he have nothing better to do than come and find trouble with this guy? This guy's strength was so formidable; with just his own meager skills, how could he fight against him?

But now, saying anything was too late. The pain of the severed arm was worse than being sliced a thousand times.

Watching Su Hang gradually approach, tears welled up in Lu Cheng's eyes. "Brother Su, please be merciful and spare me this once. I am willing to be your slave and servant, to serve you until you grow old..."

However, before he could finish his words, Su Hang flew up and kicked him, sending him flying several zhang away, crashing into a tree trunk and vomiting blood incessantly.

Looking at Su Hang's cold face, Lu Cheng was terrified. Clutching his abdomen, he struggled to crawl up and fled staggeringly, soon disappearing into the depths of the dense forest, not even bothering to take his corpse with him.

"Sigh!"

Su Hang sighed. "I hope you can pull back from the brink."

Although Lu Cheng was hateful, his crimes did not warrant death. Moreover, his target this time should have been himself, not Zhou Zhiruo, whom he had never met before. So, although Lu Cheng was hateful, Su Hang had no intention of killing him.

Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji walked over. They looked at Su Hang with hearts and eyes full of admiration, especially Zhou Zhiruo; in those watery, large eyes, there was nothing but worship and love.

"Big Brother Su, thank you for saving me!" Zhou Zhiruo said excitedly.

"You're welcome!" Su Hang waved his hand. "It was just a small effort!"

Zhou Zhiruo pursed her lips and smiled. "Big Brother Su, you are truly amazing. I have never met a martial artist as powerful as you. I have decided: I want to learn Wu Gong from you. When I have practiced enough to be powerful one day, I will definitely trample that bastard under my feet."

As she spoke, Zhou Zhiruo clenched her fists and waved them, looking all puffed up with anger.

Su Hang could not help but smile bitterly. Looking at this girl, he suddenly thought of his daughter from his previous life.

In his previous life, his daughter Zhou Mengxi also had a younger sister, Zhou Mengqi, who was about the same age as Zhou Zhiruo. It was precisely because of this connection that the two often played together, and their relationship was very close.

But in this life, Zhou Mengqi had long since married someone else, and they had no more ties.

Thinking of this, Su Hang could not help but sigh.

"What are you sighing for?" Zhou Zhiruo noticed Su Hang's low mood and asked with concern.

Su Hang came back to his senses and shook his head. "Nothing!"

Night fell.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, moonlight spilling across the earth. Su Hang sat quietly on the bed, practicing the "Nine Yin Manual." As the "Nine Yin Manual" circulated, the internal energy of heaven and earth from all around gathered rapidly toward Su Hang, transforming into pure internal energy that merged into his dantian.

It nourished his internal organs, moistened his tendons and bones, and tempered his blood vessels and meridians, making the skin all over his body become increasingly crystal clear.

After a night of practice, the next day, Su Hang came out of the room.

At this time, Zhou Zhiruo was already prepared, dressed neatly, and standing at the courtyard gate waiting for him.

Su Hang walked over. "Are we leaving today?"

He had heard Zhou Zhiruo say yesterday that she was going to pick Ice Silkworm Grass, and today was the day she would return from gathering herbs, so Zhou Zhiruo had long since packed her things, ready to set off.

Zhou Zhiruo nodded. "This herb procurement took three days." ===== CHAPTER 852 =====
