Chapter 3: The Sword of Death
Outside the courtyard, a group of big men blocked the door.
Standing opposite them was Xiao Zhu's weak body standing alone.
The men blocking the door were all servants of the third branch of the Lu family. The leader was named Lu Xing, who was in charge of the tea mountain under the name of the third branch.
Facing Xiao Zhu's scolding, Lu Xing was not annoyed, but patiently persuaded him.
"Lu Yu made a big mistake this time, bringing shame to our entire Lu family. People from all branches are sharpening their knives and preparing to attack us. The third branch of the Lu family is really hopeless this time..."
"Miss Xiaozhu, why are you so stubborn? You are so beautiful, and you will be the young lady of the fourth branch. Why do you want to hang yourself on this crooked tree of the third branch?"
"Master Ming of the fourth branch has always liked you, you know, he has made it clear that as long as you can bring the deed of the tea mountain, he is willing to take you as a concubine. From now on, you will be the wife of the Lu family!"
Xiaozhu was so angry that her face turned pale, and she spat on Lu Xing's face.
"Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? The Third Master treated you so well when he was alive, and promoted you to be the manager of the tea mountain. I didn't expect you to repay kindness with enmity!"
"You still want to drag me along to sell out the master for glory! Although I, Duan Xiaozhu, am a woman, I will never go along with people like you!"
Lu Xing wiped the spit off his face and his face darkened.
"Stinky girl, you don't want to drink the toast! You don't listen to me when I talk to you nicely, and you insist on forcing me to use force, right?"
"Okay! Then I'll tie you directly to Master Ming's bed!"
"When the rice is cooked and you become Master Ming's woman, you will naturally know how to consider Master Ming!"
Xiaozhu was horrified: "Lu Xing, how dare you! This is the third room!"
Lu Xing smiled grimly.
"You've been calling for so long, do you think anyone will come to help you?"
"Everyone in the third room is in danger now, who else dares to risk offending Master Ming to save a little maid like you?"
"Just surrender, do you still want to count on that useless person who doesn't even have a sea of qi?"
As Lu Xing spoke, he pressed forward.
Xiao Zhu retreated in fear.
It was like a hungry tiger approaching a lone lamb.
Xiao Zhu finally had nowhere to retreat, her heels hit the steps, her body was unstable, and she was about to fall.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a strong arm supported her back.
"Master..."
Xiao Zhu's eyes were filled with tears of surprise.
Lu Yu held the sword in one hand and protected her behind his back with the other hand, stepped forward, and faced Lu Xing and others.
"Lu Xing, you are so bold! Have you forgotten the family rules of our Lu family?"
Seeing Lu Yu suddenly appear, Lu Xing was instinctively startled, and then he remembered that the man in front of him had lost his Qi Hai, and he would no longer be the young master of the third room, and he became arrogant again.
"Family rules? Lu Yu, you are causing trouble outside, causing great disasters, and causing the old man to be humiliated. You should be punished by the family rules!"
"If you know what's good for you, just hand over Miss Xiaozhu and send her to Master Ming's room. Maybe Master Ming will be happy and protect you in the future."
Lu Yu's eyes turned cold: "So, it was Lu Shaoming who ordered you to come?"
"So what!"
Lu Xing smiled proudly.
"I am not afraid to tell you now that I have been Master Ming's man for a long time!"
"As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. Master Ming is young, but he has already reached the eighth level of the physical realm. In a few years, he will step into the peak of the physical realm. In the future, he will definitely be promoted to the true essence realm and become a celebrity in Luzhou County!"
"And you have practiced for so many years and consumed so many medicinal resources, but you are still only at the sixth level of the physical realm."
"Now you even have no sea of qi, you are a complete waste!"
"If I, Lu, don't make plans early, will I sink with the broken ship of the third house?"
Lu Yu stepped forward and put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
"Is this the reason why you betrayed our Third House?"
"Back then you had nothing, and my father took you in, and gave you all the tea mountains to manage. Is this how you plan to repay him? Give Xiaozhu and the tea mountains to Lu Shaoming?"
"You are a traitor who sells out his master for fame!"
"You are worse than pigs and dogs!"
Lu Xing was fearless, not only was he not angry, but he smiled instead.
"Master Yu, you can scold me as much as you want, I won't lose a hair anyway!"
"What else can you do now except talking?"
"You are a waste who doesn't even have a sea of qi, you will soon not even be the young master of the Third House."
"By that time, I, Lu Xing, will have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead or alive!"
"Really?"
Lu Yu raised the sword in his hand.
"Are you sure you can live until then?"
Seeing Lu Yu's actions, Lu Xing's smile became more intense.
"What? Are you still planning to attack me?"
"Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you hold the sword that the Third Master used to hold."
"The Feihong Sword is indeed a magical weapon, but it also requires a person with strength to drive it."
"You are a piece of trash without a Qi Sea, can you pull this sword?"
Lu Yu held the sword across his chest, ready to go.
"You'll know if you try."
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Xiao Zhu nervously pulled the tail of Lu Yu's clothes behind him, signaling him not to be impulsive.
She was very happy to see Lu Yu step forward, but she also knew that with Lu Yu's current physical condition, he could never be a match for Lu Xing and others.
Lu Yu patted her arm with his backhand, signaling her not to worry.
This scene fell into Lu Xing's eyes, and he felt that the other party was bluffing.
He couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, let me see what you can do!"
"Come on, draw your sword!"
"Do you want me to cooperate with you? Well, my neck is right here, if you have the guts, you can kill me with one sword..."
Lu Xing laughed loudly while deliberately stretching his neck, his arrogance was extremely arrogant.
Because Lu Xing knew that Lu Shaoming of the fourth room had always been dissatisfied with Lu Yu, the more he humiliated Lu Yu at this time, the more he would be appreciated by Lu Shaoming in the future.
"You should do it!"
"Draw your sword!"
"Hahaha, trash..."
Suddenly——
clang——
The sharp sword was unsheathed, the sound was like a dragon's roar.
Lu Xing was feeling proud, and suddenly heard the sound of the sharp sword being unsheathed, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
How could a person without a qi sea drive the Feihong Sword?
However, this was his last thought.
Then, he felt a chill on his neck, and his body completely lost its center of gravity.
The next moment, his head rolled on the ground.
Blood splattered all over the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
What a fast sword!
Didn't they say that Lu Yu's Qi Sea had been destroyed by Xiang Chen? How could he still drive the Feihong Sword?
Lu Xing was at the fourth level of the physical realm, and his strength was not weak in the Lu family, but he was already beheaded before he could react!
This sudden change made the faces of the people who came with Lu Xing pale.
Behind him, Xiao Zhu was also startled.
But the mood was soon replaced by surprise.
"Master... have you recovered from your injuries?"
Lu Yu didn't explain too much and gave her a reassuring look.
"I'm fine."
He turned around again and swept his eyes over Lu Xing's men.
"You are all going to join Lu Shaoming, right?"
Half of his body was dyed red by the blood splashed by Lu Xing, and his eyes were shrouded in frost.
In his hand, there was a magical weapon with a cold light.
On the ground, blood gushed out from the neck of the headless corpse.
This scene had an indescribable sense of weirdness, which made the remaining people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
With a snap, everyone knelt down together, their heads pounding like garlic.
"Master Yu, spare me! Lu Xing is our manager, we were all forced to come here by him!"
"I was bewitched by Lu Xing for a while, and I beg you to spare me this time!"
"Our families are all in Lu Xing's hands. He asked us to come, and we dared not refuse!"
"It's all because of that bastard Lu Xing. For the sake of wealth and glory, he insisted on dragging us into the gang. If we don't agree, he will deal with us!"
Everyone cried and wept.
Lu Yu stood there, his face expressionless.
He spoke only after several people gradually stopped crying.
"Our third house is in need of people. You can escape death penalty, but you can't escape punishment."
"First, take the body of this dog out and hang it at the gate of the compound for public display!"
"Then go to the Black Stone Mine and punish you with one year of hard labor."
"From now on, as long as you have no second thoughts, this matter will not be pursued. Otherwise, this dog will be your fate!"
When everyone heard the name of the Black Stone Mine, they showed a look of horror on their faces, but looking at Lu Xing lying in a pool of blood in front of them, they did not have the courage to resist and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, young master, for not killing me..."
