29. I, Lu, will not kill the old or the young.
Inside the Song residence, all the servants had already run away as soon as they heard the news. They were all paid by their master and would never risk their lives for him.
In front of the main house, besides Song Hui's family of seventeen, there was also a middle-aged man with a short beard and fair complexion.
This man had bulging temples, bright eyes, a broad back, and long legs. He was dressed in a tight-fitting blue outfit, and Song Hui's bitter speech could be heard in his ear.
"Jin Chang, you should run. I've offended Yunxia. I was out of my mind. She's said that my whole family won't even have a chance to leave the city."
Jin Chang was the middle-aged man in tight-fitting clothes standing in front of the Song family. His face was calm and vigilant, but his voice was strong and clear.
"I owe Master Song my life, and there's no need for further words. I can only repay him with my life, even if it means my death!"
Just as Song Hui was about to say something, a loud bang came from the red gate of the compound, and wood blocks mixed with a lot of sawdust scattered in a misty manner.
Jin gathered her strength in her long legs and disappeared from her spot, letting out a voice that could be heard from the Song residence.
"The Song family's retainer, Master Jin, is here to learn the skills of the esteemed disciple of Yunxia Daoist Academy!"
The voice was extremely powerful, causing the group of experts surrounding the courtyard to look at each other in dismay.
Lu Feng charged forward fiercely, the loud noise he made drowning out most of the words around him. All he knew was that some kind of offering was coming for him.
Two words immediately flashed through my mind.
enemy!
Then... kill!
As he stepped through the courtyard gate, Lu Feng, with his bear-like muscles, instantly locked his gaze on the approaching enemy.
Anyone who dares to rush over and raise a knife at you must be quite skilled.
Do not underestimate the enemy.
Go all out!
The two collided in front of the courtyard the next instant.
Lu Feng's punches were unpretentious. He raised his foot forward, charged forward, and unleashed a powerful punch. At first, he could feel some resistance from the opponent's punch.
But this power only lasted for a few breaths before it completely disappeared.
The fist continued forward, slamming into the man's chest.
With a bang, the power of a punch was released.
The man in blue had a broken and twisted arm, and was thrown into the air when he was punched in the chest.
*Smack!*
He collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, completely lifeless.
Boom!!
A flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and finally, raindrops began to fall from the dark clouds onto the thick bricks of the front yard.
Lu Feng's gaze lingered on the dead man for a moment before he looked away.
I never expected that someone so weak would dare to yell at me like that?
tread.
Without stopping, continue walking forward.
Song Hui finally collapsed under the pressure. He knelt down, his knees slamming against the ground with a loud thud. He kowtowed, his palms facing forward, and cried out in alarm.
"Master Lu, could you spare a single bloodline of my Song family?"
There was no response.
A moment later, Song Hui froze instantly, trembling as he looked up, only to see a pair of indifferent eyes.
Only now did Lu Feng speak softly.
"I'm not here to reason with you, but I, Lu, would never personally kill the old or the young."
Upon hearing the following words, Song Hui's tense body relaxed, his head pressed to the ground, and a muffled sound came from his throat.
"Master, you are merciful! Did you hear me? Let's go!"
Someone behind him, sobbing, walked past Lu Feng and headed out of the courtyard.
With his head on the ground, Song Hui's eyes flashed with resentment. He was still too young after all, daring to let his youngest son leave. Just wait, his son would naturally find a chance to avenge him!
As the three elderly people and children stepped out the door, Lu Feng finally began to make his move.
He did not bring any weapons with him this time, because his lack of military skills would only limit his ability to use them.
The moment he moved, screams erupted in the courtyard, followed by agonizing screams, and finally silence.
Outside the courtyard, some people saw people coming out, especially children, and they hesitated whether they should intervene, since these people had walked out right under Lu Feng's nose.
But someone didn't hesitate. It was the same person who had reported the situation to Lu Feng. He charged forward like a tiger or wolf, wielding a specially prepared machete, and cursed loudly.
"Damn it! Have you all forgotten what Master Lu said? You pig-brains!"
After saying that, he went up and stabbed three times, and three screams completely ended the lives of the last three members of the Song family.
Inside the Song residence, Song Hui heard the sound and was about to get up when he felt a huge hand gently hold the back of his head, making it impossible for him to move his head even an inch.
In his last breath before losing consciousness, he heard this sentence.
"Repentance is the privilege of the living; the dead are only responsible for dying."
Raise your palm, press your head up slightly, then forcefully slam it down onto the ground.
boom!
Song Hui's brain was shattered into a blur by the immense force, and blood stained Lu Feng's hand, which was gradually returning to normal.
He withdrew his hand, flicked it, put his hands behind his back, walked out of the house, and came to the front gate without stopping.
He glanced at the situation outside and looked at the knife-wielding man who had just ended the lives of three people, then nodded in satisfaction.
"You've done a good job. Until Hu Zi recovers from his injuries, you will temporarily lead the outer city. All of the Song family's assets have been confiscated."
The man, unable to contain his excitement, threw down his weapon, clasped his hands in salute, and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Lu Feng ignored it and left the place.
The light rain gradually intensified, and the wind grew stronger. The raindrops were quite uncomfortable on his body, so he had to go home to change his clothes before going to the Taoist temple to cultivate.
Only by striving to climb higher can one acquire more power.
Despite his imposing presence in the outer city, where he could wipe out entire families without the government intervening, this was only the outer city; there were no truly powerful figures there.
Nobody spoke up, so it's hardly something to be proud of.
As the heavy rain fell, I returned home through the rain curtain.
His family has long lost access to information about what he's doing these days, so they don't know what he's up to every day; they just feel that he's busy.
After changing into a pair of fitted trousers and a short-sleeved shirt, Lu Feng, holding a black umbrella, stepped out of his house again and walked through the rain towards the Taoist temple.
Practice Pavilion.
Lu Feng listened to the sound of raindrops falling on the windowsill, dripping incessantly, much like the large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate in the poems of his past life. Under this understanding of nature, he firmly planted his feet in the second stance.
This stance training, based on the previous stance, focuses more on changes to the legs, activating the muscles attached to the major tendons of the lower body.
Once this technique is mastered, the speed will increase.
When he arrived, Ke Xingzao was already waiting there, seemingly to check if he was in good condition.
Seeing that he was completely unaffected, Ke Xing left, leaving Duo Duo to practice. He would take him to a private meeting later to meet the other disciples of the academy.
Lu Feng was naturally willing. He still had quite a few martial arts points, so he could take the opportunity to see if there were any better aptitudes to further improve his cultivation speed.
After swallowing a newly purchased Rejuvenation Pill, the effects were immediate.
I felt warm all over, not like the feeling of restoring physical strength from the Qi-regulating pill, but like I had just drunk a sip of something very nourishing, and I felt very full.
"This is good stuff!"
Expensive, indeed for a reason. I'm really looking forward to seeing how effective the most expensive Qi Condensation Pill will be.
It just so happens that we've caused some commotion in the outer city, so we'll see some silver soon. I'll go to Shan Gong Tang and buy a bottle to see how it goes.
As Lu Feng thought this, he withdrew from his stance, walked to the front of the pavilion covered in sweat, and looked out at the white light, the rain falling without stopping.
After putting on his shoes, he bent his hand, picked up the umbrella from the corner of the door, opened it, and stepped into the cloud-covered area, disappearing in front of the training pavilion.
