Li Ran's venomous voice sent a chill deep within, yet it did not stir Lufan in the slightest. He seemed oblivious as he pressed on the old man's final acupoint, concluding the treatment.
"Alright, be good now. Grandpa is fine. Brother is going to deal with the bad guys soon, so keep your eyes closed so you won't be scared," Lufan gently said to the little girl.
"Mm, brother is going to deal with the bad guys, Little Girl isn't scared!"
Seeing Lufan dare to ignore his words, Li Ran's resentment deepened. He shouted at his subordinates around him, "Are you all fools? Capture him immediately and take him down!"
However, the Guards hesitated and dared not approach. Somehow, they felt an innate fear towards Lufan, as if a group of mice had encountered a cat.
The Guards certainly did not know that although Lufan's aura was not fully unleashed, he naturally exuded a presence that was enough to instill awe in these mere Junior Martial Artists.
"If you don't want to die, I advise you not to make any sudden moves," Lufan said.
Upon hearing this, the Guards were even more reluctant to advance. They had no doubt about the truth of Lufan's words; after all, this was someone who had no qualms about dealing with the Second Young Master. For them, stepping forward would only mean delivering themselves as fodder.
"Worthless! All of you are worthless! If you dare disobey orders, you should know what will happen," Li Ran shouted in frustration.
At that moment, a Captain of the Guards clad in black armor and with a cold expression suddenly commanded, "Everyone, prepare your bows!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ran realized and exclaimed with delight, "Yes! Use arrows! Shoot them down with a rain of arrows! He wants to save that old man? Just aim for him! I want him to know that anyone who offends me must die—no one can save them!"
The Guards, already uneasy from defying the Second Young Master's orders earlier, no longer hesitated. They swiftly nocked their arrows with coordinated and rapid movements, indicating they had undergone considerable training.
The guards were initially worried that the young man would take the opportunity to attack, as they had all witnessed his speed earlier; if he launched a surprise attack, there was hardly anyone on their side who could stop him.
Now, seeing that the other party was ignoring everything, they all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the opponent still had some reservations, fearing that if they took the initiative to attack, someone would strike at the old man.
Not far away, the onlookers felt a sense of regret while also harboring a hint of fear towards the Black Armored Guardian.
Many Loose Cultivators had already recognized him as one of the legendary Top Ten Ironclad Guards of Li Zheng, the lord of Qingyang City.
Rumor had it that Li Zheng had cultivated ten Ironclad Guardians who were absolutely loyal to him over many years. Each Ironclad Guardian was a ruthless killer with blood on their hands, specifically tasked with dealing with those Loose Cultivators who defied his orders. Over the years, countless troublemaking Loose Cultivators in the city had been secretly dealt with by them.
The most crucial point was that these Ironclad Guardians were all Fourth-Rank Experts!
It was well known that there were so many Loose Cultivators in Qingyang City, most of whom acted independently. The reason why Li Zheng could suppress Qingyang City for so many years without anyone daring to resist was largely due to the presence of these Top Ten Ironclad Guards.
This Ironclad Guardian immediately spotted Lufan's weakness—the little girl in the old man's arms—and issued orders without hesitation. This showed how ruthless and decisive he was. It was said that these personal guards trained by Li Zheng were emotionless killing machines, and it seemed that this was indeed true.
It was just unfortunate for the young man; he was still too inexperienced and soft-hearted. He failed to break through in time, resulting in his current predicament where retreating was impossible.
Everything seemed to have reached a conclusion. Under the aim of over a hundred bows and arrows, this young man had to protect the girl in his arms while also ensuring the old man's safety—an almost impossible task. If he hesitated even slightly, he might end up losing his own life.
Everyone was watching closely, eager to see how Lufan would choose: abandon the pitiful grandfather and granddaughter or sacrifice himself for what he believed to be justice.
However, the crowd did not get to witness Lufan's moment of choice because just as the guards finished preparing their arrows, the Ironclad Guardian had already commanded, "Fire!"
Though it seemed lengthy when recounted, from Lufan's warning to the Ironclad Guardian's order to shoot only took a brief span of several breaths. Yet during this tense moment, everyone’s thoughts turned over countless times, making it feel particularly prolonged.
Unlike the people outside, as the guards drew their bows and released a volley of arrows, Lufan remained calm and showed no signs of tension.
He did not take the opportunity to strike, partly out of concern that if he were to be obstructed, the old man's life would be in danger. However, the main reason was that he had never regarded these arrows as a threat!
After mastering Senses Unified, he could sense all the movements of the guards. Through his perception of their vital energy, he could even detect which guard would be the first to release their bowstring.
He could even gauge the speed of the arrows based on the sound of the bowstrings being drawn tight!
The moment the armored guard commanded to fire, Lufan had already made his judgment and prepared to respond.
The enemy intended to use the old man and the little girl as leverage to strike him down, but he was also waiting for an opportunity to eliminate all these guards in one fell swoop!
With a single command, over a hundred arrows were released, enveloping Lufan and his companions from all directions without any room for evasion!
In the end, this young man chose not to break through. Just when everyone thought that the three in the center would not escape their fate, Lufan moved.
A flash of sword light appeared!
The Qing Mang sword in Lufan's hand erupted with a spray of fine light, flowing like mercury and enveloping him in brilliance.
No one knew how many swords Lufan unleashed in that instant; people only felt countless sword shadows flickering in and out of existence. Then, they witnessed an unforgettable scene.
The arrows originally aimed at Lufan changed direction under his swordplay, now targeting the more than a hundred guards who stood there dumbfounded!
None of the guards could have anticipated this turn of events, and as a result, they paid a heavy price.
The arrows, redirected by Lufan, became even more rapid. Before the Guards could react, they pierced through armor and struck the Guards' hearts, throats, and foreheads.
In just a fleeting moment, all one hundred twenty-one Guards of the city lord's mansion fell dead by the very arrows they had launched, without exception!
Sword Technique, Secret Technique, Dugu Nine Swords, Break Arrow Technique!
Mind Technique, Secret Technique, Star Shift!
Just moments ago, Lufan, in a state of heightened awareness, utilized an unimaginable level of control to execute the Star Shift Mind Technique while simultaneously employing the Break Arrow Technique from Dugu Nine Swords. With astonishing swordsmanship skills, he reversed and deflected all the arrows back at their origin, achieving this nearly impossible feat!
One hundred twenty-one blossoms of blood erupted, carrying the scent of death that gradually stained the entire street red, leaving everyone in shock. Some individuals with weaker resolve trembled uncontrollably.
"You see, I told you that moving recklessly would lead to death," Lufan's calm voice echoed in the silence.
However, in everyone's eyes, he was no longer a righteous young man who had taken over a hundred lives in cold blood; they looked at him as if he were a grim reaper, filled with fear.
How could such a terrifying person exist in this world? How could there be such extraordinary swordsmanship? Who exactly is this young man?!
No one was truly foolish; people quickly began to speculate countless identities for Lufan.
Yet the matter was not over. Lufan's figure flickered as he appeared before the Ironclad Guardian standing in front of Li Ran and thrust his sword forward!
