Lufan first targeted the robber who had been spewing foul language.
He harbored the strongest killing intent towards this robber, as his previous words had already insulted Fatty and Xiao Ling's parents. Therefore, he decided to incapacitate him first!
Seizing an opening, Lufan's figure flickered as he executed the Lingbo Weibu technique, swaying slightly to evade all attacks. He appeared before the robber, and in the midst of his panicked movements, a nameless dagger in Lufan's hand glimmered with two points of starlight.
Break!
The robber wielded dual blades, and almost simultaneously, both of his wrists were pierced by the dagger. He let out a scream as the blades fell to the ground, hurriedly retreating while looking at Lufan with terror on his face.
"Old Wu!" The others were filled with anger and fear. Damn it, in less than a month, how could this kid have become so powerful? Not only was he unscathed under their siege, but he also counterattacked with such sharpness that he incapacitated Old Wu in an instant!
Recalling how he had previously been forced to flee in embarrassment from their attacks, now he seemed so relaxed and at ease. Compared to before, he was probably ten times stronger!
What kind of person is this kid? The robbers couldn't help but question again. They were already feeling hesitant; if eight of them together couldn't handle him, now that one was incapacitated, there was no way they could achieve anything.
Indeed, they wanted that mysterious and elusive technique, but they needed to be alive to obtain it. The Secret Technique was good, but life was more precious! It was clear that the situation was untenable, and the remaining seven robbers suddenly wanted to retreat.
However, since Lufan had already made his move, how could he let them escape just like that?
Taking advantage of their cowardice and the openings it created, Lufan charged forward and instantly appeared before the seven robbers. He unleashed the Break Sword Technique with full force; his body half-turned as he gripped the dagger in reverse and traced a mysterious arc through the air, resembling waves as it flashed past the robbers' throats.
Splash!
This attack was incredibly sharp; nothing could block the razor-sharp nameless dagger—not swords or armor—certainly not the robbers' throats.
After one strike, Lufan gracefully retreated and stood still. Moments later, blood mist erupted from the necks of the seven robbers who had frozen in place. They clutched their throats and convulsed continuously, their eyes filled with disbelief and fear of death.
It turned out that Lufan's earlier move had already sliced open most of their necks. In such a condition, even a deity would find it hard to save them.
With just one move, Lufan had killed all seven ruthless robbers. Not only did this terrify the remaining two to their core, but even he himself felt surprised at how easy it had been.
Lufan realized that he had become so powerful. The might of the Secret Technique was indeed formidable, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
At the same time, he deeply understood that human life was truly cheap in this world. In just a short period, he had already taken eight lives, and it seemed that he would soon add two more.
However, this was not the time for reflection. Lufan refocused his attention on the remaining two individuals.
At that moment, both Black-hearted Tiger's Daughter and Lao Wu stared blankly at Lufan, as if they had lost their souls.
Even now, they could not believe that in the blink of an eye, seven living people had turned into seven corpses. The transformation had happened so quickly that it left them stunned, and they were still trying to process it.
When Lufan looked over, the two suddenly snapped back to reality. Their gazes towards Lufan were filled with terror, as if they were looking at a devil. Lao Wu, in particular, resembled a frightened rabbit, retreating repeatedly while shouting loudly, "You! Don't come any closer!"
Lufan paid no mind and began walking toward them. He had deliberately spared Lao Wu's life to let him fully experience the fear of impending death.
As Lufan drew closer, Lao Wu became increasingly panicked. He glanced around desperately and made a reckless decision. Ignoring the pain in his hand, he managed to pick up a branch from the ground and rushed to Black-hearted Tiger's Daughter's side, aiming the branch at her eyes while shouting frantically.
"If you come any closer, I'll kill her!"
Lufan's expression remained unchanged, and his pace did not falter. "Do as you wish. I've already said it; I don't care who dies among you. In fact, I would thank you for sparing me the trouble of doing it myself."
Lao Wu did not expect his threat to be ineffective. He thought that such a beautiful woman would evoke compassion from someone like Lufan, but he was shocked to find that Lufan remained unmoved.
Realizing that he might not survive, Lao Wu gritted his teeth and prepared to stab the branch downwards; after all, he couldn't let this woman die easily!
Just then, Black-hearted Tiger's Daughter suddenly moved. She swung her head like a venomous snake and bit down hard on Lao Wu's wrist with a fierce expression, refusing to let go. Lufan could even hear the sound of bones cracking!
In response to this attack, Lao Wu screamed in agony and struggled desperately to free himself. He kicked and thrashed about until he finally managed to break free, only to discover that a large chunk of flesh was missing from his hand—half of his bone was gone!
Looking at the woman again, after spitting out the flesh and blood from her mouth, she glared at him with blood-soaked lips and licked them as if she wanted to take another bite from another part of his body.
His fear could no longer be concealed as he fell to the ground, scrambling backward while screaming madly, "You lunatics! You're all lunatics!"
He had been driven insane by fear of death and the inhuman behavior of Black-hearted Tiger's Daughter.
He instinctively stepped back, repeatedly shouting the word "madman," unaware that he was retreating towards Lufan.
Seeing that he had lost his mind, Lufan did not take any further action; he swiftly used his dagger to end the man's life.
All eight robbers fell at his hands, and now only this woman remained.
Standing in front of the daughter of the Black-hearted Tiger, Lufan felt a mix of emotions.
He had no good feelings towards this woman. Although he could guess from the snippets he had heard that she must have suffered greatly in the past, perhaps that was the root of her current state.
Originally, she had nothing to do with Lufan. After all, there are countless good and bad people in the world, and the definitions of good and bad vary from person to person. It is indeed difficult to distinguish what is right and what is wrong; a black-and-white perspective is quite laughable.
Lufan was just an ordinary person, without any grand aspirations to save the world. In reality, he was merely a small insect struggling for survival in this vast world.
If it weren't for the fact that this woman threatened the most important person in his life and that her actions were exceedingly cruel, Lufan probably wouldn't have pursued her; at most, he would have sighed for the victims.
Now standing before her, Lufan found himself at a loss for words. He wondered why she had done such things and what had happened to Fatty's parents.
Lufan felt there was no need to know these things; understanding them would only bring greater harm to Fatty and Xiao Ling without any meaningful purpose. Thus, he said nothing more and moved his hand, intending to put an end to this matter.
Just as he was about to act, the daughter of the Black-hearted Tiger suddenly spoke up: "Can I ask you a question?"
