Looking at the group charging towards her, Bai Zhiqing’s expression changed and she said anxiously, "Lu Tianxing..."
"Don’t worry, they’re just trash and can’t hurt me. If you’re scared, just close your eyes; it’ll spare you the fright that’s about to come."
As these people charged at him, a hint of murderous intent flashed across Lu Tianxing’s lips, and his gaze turned ice-cold to the extreme. In his heart, he had already sentenced these men to death.
With a smile curling at the edge of his lips, Lu Tianxing’s figure flashed, instantly appearing beside a man. All that man perceived was a blur before him as a finger tore through the air, touching his forehead, and then sweeping past.
The man’s entire head exploded, his skull pierced by a single touch from Lu Tianxing, leaving him undeniably dead.
Upon seeing this, one of them bellowed fiercely, "You...you killed Xiao Hu, I’ll kill you, I’m going to kill you."
Lu Tianxing gave a chilling smile, six arms of True Qi surged from behind him into the air, each hand striking out in all directions, layers of True Qi piled up, like a gigantic wave, blasting towards all who rushed at him.
The fierce True Qi was soul-shaking, making it hard for anyone to catch their breath. The air blasted apart layer by layer, as if even the space itself were about to be shredded.
Six or seven screams rang out in succession, as everyone who lunged towards him was blown away, heavily crashing onto the ground, unable to stand up again. The ferocious True Qi shattered their bones, causing them to wriggle helplessly on the ground. Their agonizing cries echoed through the abandoned warehouse, sending chills down one’s spine;
this was the result of Lu Tianxing deliberately holding back his power, intending to let these people perish in agony. A dragon has its reverse scale, touch it and face certain death;
Just as Lu Tianxing was dealing with these men, suddenly a sharp aura assaulted him, a long spear with a terrifying aura aimed straight for Lu Tianxing’s throat.
"Blossoming Pear Flowers."
A spear technique, like blossoming pear flowers, layers of True Qi bloomed from it, enveloping the spear’s light, turning it into lotus blossoms, an endless number of spear shadows evolved, constantly twisting, making it impossible to discern the true location of the spear tip.
"An ambush, just because you’re a mere Earth-level Martial Artist, you dare to ambush us. I intended to spare you, but since you’re oblivious to what’s good for you, I’ll send you on your way right now."
As the spear light thrust towards him, there was no change in Lu Tianxing’s expression, not retreating but advancing, he stepped forward.
A furious power erupted from his body. Lu Tianxing extended a hand, reaching directly into the myriad spear shadows, and actually grabbed the spearhead, making all spear shadows disappear instantly.
"How could this happen, how did you find the spear tip?"
Cang Hu’s figure fell from the sky, the spear tip grasped by Lu Tianxing, no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it out, his face turning beet red, all his True Qi sinking like mud into the sea.
Lu Tianxing gave a cold smile and flicked his arm.
The entire spear shattered all at once, like bamboo splitting, layer by layer exploding. The force of the exploding steel tore Cang Hu’s palm, blood streaming down his entire hand. He hastily abandoned the spear and retreated, but a Sky-covering Giant Handprint had already pressed down on him.
This handprint fell from the sky, as if the sky itself were pressing down, seeming to cover the entire sky. At this moment, Cang Hu felt as if space itself had suddenly thickened around him, as if he, like Sun Wukong, no matter how he dodged, could not escape from the palm of The Buddha.
The Sky-covering Giant Handprint mercilessly struck his head, and Cang Hu heard the bones, meridians, and flesh of his body crack open inch by inch. Soon after, intense pain surged, and then he knew nothing more.
He was directly slapped to death.
Not to mention his mere fleshly body, even an iron man would have been completely flattened into an iron pancake under Lu Tianxing’s attack.
Bai Shan, who had been hiding and watching from the side, screamed out, scared out of his wits to the point of sitting down hard on the ground, his body shaking like a sieve and his face as pale as if he had seen a ghost. Urine flowed from his crotch, releasing a strong stench.
He had never imagined that Lu Tianxing could be so terrifying, killing as easily as slaughtering a chicken. In his heart, the invincible Cang Hu was like an ant in Lu Tianxing’s hands, casually crushed to death.
Especially after killing, Lu Tianxing’s indifferent gaze was as if he had just squashed a few buzzing flies by his side, worth no mention at all. That look sent chills down one’s spine, making one feel a coldness rising from the tailbone, instantly spreading throughout the body.
And Bai Zhiqing, who had been held in Lu Tianxing’s arms all along, witnessing him kill Cang Hu in a blink of an eye, her beautiful eyes instantly flashed with a hint of panic. She couldn’t utter a word for a long while, everything she had known about Lu Tianxing completely overturned.
This was the second time she had seen Lu Tianxing kill someone. The first time was on their way to invest in Tianhe Resort, and now this time, more thoroughly and vividly, watching a living person being blown to a bloody mist. She had never thought that a human life could be so worthless.
Especially Lu Tianxing’s indifferent gaze, which made her feel a chill from the bottom of her heart, looking at Lu Tianxing, feeling a freshness of unfamiliarity as if the Lu Tianxing who used to let her bully him and cheered her up had completely disappeared.
Lu Tianxing looked up, noticing the flicker of fear in Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, his mouth curling into a bitter smile, saying, "What’s wrong, are you scared?"
"No... I’m not scared,"
Bai Zhiqing shook her head vigorously, her eyes looking directly at Lu Tianxing without any evasiveness, very clear that if there was any hint of evasiveness, even fear in her eyes, perhaps an insurmountable chasm would form between her and this man, forever after just paralleling each other without ever crossing again.
Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s response, Lu Tianxing’s face showed a smile, without even glancing at the stunned Bai Shan, he bent down and held Bai Zhiqing in his arms, stepping outwards.
This scene could be said to be intentionally shown to Bai Zhiqing, or that Bai Zhiqing must experience it, as long as the Four Symbols Ring is still in Bai Qiao Mountain’s hands, such events will never cease, slaughter will continue unendingly.
If Bai Zhiqing felt scared, even distancing herself from him, he would still protect Bai Zhiqing, but from now on, he and Bai Zhiqing would always draw a clear boundary, leading unrelated lives, perhaps never intersecting again in their lifetimes.
But fortunately, Bai Zhiqing did not have any excessive reaction, did not evade his gaze, practically showing him, no matter what, you are my man, the man I acknowledge for a lifetime.
