Chapter 56: Old Lu’s Seven Consecutive Kills
Southern mountainous region.
A village deep in the mountains.
It rained in the night. The air was now especially fresh.
The village chief slowly woke up from his sleep after a night of fatigue.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw three faces staring at him.
“Ah—”
The village leader screamed.
“Shh!”
Lyu Yuhua immediately covered his mouth and whispered, “Don’t make a sound.”
The woman sleeping beside the village chief had her eyes closed. Finally, she turned around and grumbled, “What are you shouting for? Can’t you let me sleep?”
The village chief was wide-eyed as he shook his body, shouting with all his might.
“Wu wu wu!”
The woman grew annoyed.
However, the moment she opened her eyes, she also saw three faces. She was startled.
“Ah—”
The woman’s screams were much sharper than a man’s.
Old Lu and Old Liu immediately covered the woman’s mouth with some cloth.
After a while, they tied the village chief and the woman to a pillar in the room.
Meanwhile, Lyu Yuhua and company searched the room.
Soon, they found their respective suitcases. The clothes inside were still there. There were only some toiletries and food missing.
At the same time, they found a satellite phone under a pillow.
Ordinary cell phones would not be able to receive signals in such a deep forest.
In order to contact the outside world, the relevant departments would allocate a satellite phone to the village head.
“Old Lyu, let’s call the police.” Old Liu and Old Lu said excitedly.
“Even if we were to call the police, we need to know where we are! Otherwise, how can the police find us?”
“You’re right. You really are sharp, Old Lyu.” The two nodded.
Thus, the three of them came to the village chief.
Lyu Yuhua squatted down and said gently to the village chief, “Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you, but you have to cooperate with us. Can you do that?”
The village chief nodded his head repeatedly, his gaze incomparably sincere.
“Alright. Let me ask you, what is the exact name of this place?”
With that, Lyu Yuhua removed the cloth from the village chief’s mouth.
In the next second, the village leader shouted with all his might, “Help! Help!”
His voice was so loud that the air vibrated.
The expressions of Lyu Yuhua and company changed drastically.
Old Lu didn’t know what to do. He hurriedly slapped the village chief in an attempt to silence him.
He was no longer an ordinary person but a cultivator.
How could a mortal’s body withstand this slap?
The village chief’s face sunk in like plastic. Broken bits of teeth fell onto the ground.
The chief’s face was a mess of flesh and blood, and he fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Old Lu didn’t use his full strength. Otherwise, this person would have died then and there.
But this scene also made Lyu Yuhua and company particularly shocked.
The woman beside the village chief pa.s.sed out in fright.
“Old Lu, what are you doing!” Old Liu whispered.
Old Lu rubbed his hands and pouted like a child who had done something wrong. “I just wanted him to quieten down. I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Lyu Yuhua reached out and put a finger near the village chief’s nose. “He’s still breathing.”
Old Lu and Old Liu heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded from outside.
The three of them were startled.
“What should we do?” Old Lu and Old Liu asked anxiously.
Lyu Yuhua tried his best to remain calm.
Bang!
All of a sudden, the door was kicked open violently.
Then, a group of people rushed in.
They were mostly strong young men.
They surrounded the trio.
However, when they saw the village chief and the unconscious woman, they were astonished.
“Village chief!”
“Village chief!”
They shouted several times.
However, that person was half-dead from Old Lu’s slap. How could he wake up?
“What did you do to our chief?” they questioned.
Old Lu hurriedly waved his hands. “I didn’t do it on purpose. I just touched him lightly, and he… he…”
“Just a touch? Do you think we’re blind?”
With that, the villagers stepped forward with righteous indignation, wanting to grab Old Lu.
An idea struck Lyu Yuhua. He immediately came forth, saying loudly, “Your village chief’s injuries are serious, he needs to be treated as soon as possible.”
The villagers stopped.
Lyu Yuhua continued, “I don’t think there are any hospitals here, are there!”
“So what if there’s no hospital? Are you looking down on our people?”
Lyu Yuhua quickly explained, “You’ve misunderstood me.
“I meant to say that, without a hospital, your village chief can’t be saved.”
“What should we do then?”
“Of course, we’ll bring the village chief out of the mountain and find a hospital for treatment! Don’t worry, we’ll pay the medical fees.”
The villagers looked at one another and discussed for some time.
After a while, a representative said, “Al… Alright then!”
When Lyu Yuhua heard this, he smiled.
Old Lu and Old Liu both heaved a sigh of relief.
But right then, a thin middle-aged man suddenly walked in through the door.
“We can’t let them go.”
The middle-aged man had narrow eyes and prominent cheekbones. He did not look like a good person.
He walked in slowly with a leaf fan in his hand.
“Deputy village chief.”
The villagers greeted.
The deputy village chief said sternly, “You bunch of idiots. If we let them leave the mountain and they tell the police about the kidnapping. Everyone will be doomed.”
The crowd was suddenly enlightened.
“Deputy, what about the village chief?” someone asked.
“Are you stupid?! You don’t know how to bring the village head out?!” The deputy village chief hit his head.
“But I don’t have any money!”
“Go get it from them.”
He was referring to Lyu Yuhua and company.
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers surrounded them again like hungry wolves surrounding a lamb.
Old Liu and Old Lu were fl.u.s.tered. They said anxiously, “Old Lyu, How can we outwit them?”
Lyu Yuhua frowned and suddenly instructed, “Old Lu, go beat up a few of them and intimidate them.”
“…”
Lyu Yuhua added, “Didn’t you just cripple one with a slap? Give them a few more slaps and let them know the consequences of provoking us.”
Old Lu blinked. “Is that really okay?”
Lu Yuhua said anxiously, “Trust me.”
Old Lu was doubtful. He slowly raised his arm and spread his fingers. Then, he warned them sternly, “Don’t come near, or I won’t be polite.”
The villagers expressed their disdain.
There are so many of us. Why should we be afraid of you?
Soon, someone reached out to grab Old Lu.
Old Lu hurriedly slapped him.
Pa!
The sound of the slap was as loud as a rock smas.h.i.+ng into the lake.
Instantly, blood spewed out of the villager’s mouth. His shattered teeth filled the air. Finally, his face caved in, and he dropped to the ground unconscious.
First blood~
When the villagers saw their companion get beaten up, they instinctively rushed forward to avenge him.
Old Lu threw caution to the wind. He hit anyone that came.
Moreover, he was extremely accurate.
It was as if his palm had automatically locked onto his target’s face. It was especially miraculous.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
A series of loud slapping sounds resounded.
The villagers collapsed one after another.
Double Kill~
Triple Kill~
Quadra Kill~
Penta Kill~
…
The remaining villagers did not dare to go forward as they looked at their companions, who were scattered all over the ground.
Old Lu became more and more excited as he fought. He was full of confidence.
“I still want to fight ten more…”
