Crossbow arrows densely filled the air, instantly piercing through the bodies of the guards.
One by one, the guards fell to the ground with arrows in them.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one left by Lu Changsheng’s carriage.
Even Liu Guard, his hand grazed by an arrow, was not spared.
Originally, this kind of injury was nothing significant.
However, upon seeing that the wound was turning black, Liu Guard’s body went limp, and he collapsed on the ground.
Liu Guard widened his eyes, staring intently ahead.
He died, and he died in a very aggrieved manner.
Who would have thought that a small wound could take his life?
The arrows were coated with a potent poison, a blood-sealing and throat-closing toxin, something not easily obtained.
Inside the carriage, Lu Changsheng’s expression darkened.
The attack happened suddenly, and he couldn’t have reacted even if he wanted to.
The opposing party had obviously been well-prepared, using a wave of crossbow arrows to shoot down the guard team led by a martial artist in the Organ Refining Realm.
This highlighted the inadequacy of martial artists at the Body-Forging Realm.
Even if a martial artist at the Body-Forging Realm was powerful, an ordinary person wielding a bow and crossbow could still kill them.
The crossbow arrows ceased, and a group of black-clad warriors emerged from the bamboo forest.
Leading them were an elderly man and a young man.
"Lu Changsheng, come out! I know you’re not dead!"
The young man shouted towards the carriage.
"You know Lu Changsheng?"
Lu Changsheng lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down.
He scanned the crowd.
He didn’t recognize any of these black-clad individuals.
Moreover, they called him "Lu Changsheng," indicating that they were unaware of his identity as "Zhuang Thirteen."
Was this trouble caused by his identity as the "Langzhong" (Court Physician)?
Lu Changsheng immediately thought of the Xia family.
"Of course, I know him, the disciple of Wu Jing, the renowned physician in Nanyang City."
"Hmph, didn’t expect you to have truly inherited Wu Jing’s teachings. You actually broke my enchanting fragrance."
"If it weren’t for you, Miss Xia would have been mine by now, and the entire Xia family would have served the Venomous Sect."
"You’ve ruined my plans. Tell me, should I kill you?"
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you Young Master Tan?"
The young man sneered. "Looks like you know."
Lu Changsheng shook his head. "I only heard Miss Xia’s maid mention Young Master Tan."
"Actually, whether you’re Young Master Tan or from the Venomous Sect, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m just a court physician, skilled in healing and saving lives."
"Matters of the martial world are none of my concern, and I don’t want to get involved in your affairs."
"If you let me go, I’ll immediately return to Nanyang City, as if I never saw you. How about that?"
Currently, Lu Changsheng holds the status of "Langzhong," and unless absolutely necessary, he does not wish to take action.
Once he takes action, even if he eliminates everyone, it is inevitable to leave behind traces.
If he were in the identity of "Zhuang Shisan," he would have already slaughtered these people.
"Hehe, quite a beautiful thought!"
"You’ve ruined my big plans. Do you think you can just walk away without consequences in front of Lord Youshi?"
"I’m going to cut you into pieces, use you to cultivate poisonous insects, and those insects will burrow into your brain, making you wish for death. Hahaha..."
Young Master Tan advanced step by step towards Lu Changsheng, slowly drawing the large knife in his hand with a malicious smile on his face.
He had already investigated. A mere Langzhong from Nanyang City, with some superficial skills, at most a Blood-Strengthening Realm martial artist.
So, Young Master Tan raised the large knife in his hand high and fiercely slashed downwards.
This slash aimed at Lu Changsheng’s arm, intending to cut it off first.
However, when the large knife descended, Lu Changsheng actually used his palm to firmly grasp the blade.
And no matter how much Young Master Tan exerted force, it seemed impossible to pull out the large knife.
"How is this possible, you..."
Young Master Tan’s face was full of astonishment. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
Lu Changsheng was just a mere doctor, slightly better than an ordinary person.
How could such a person catch his large knife barehanded?
Lu Changsheng glanced at Young Master Tan, then swept his eyes over the people of the Venomous Sect around him. He sighed deeply, "Why force me to kill you all?"
Seeing this scene, the only Organ Refining Realm martial artist among the black-clad individuals changed his expression drastically.
"Release the arrows!"
Instantly, countless arrows, like a rain of dots, swept towards Lu Changsheng.
At the same time, Young Master Tan also abruptly abandoned the large knife and directly punched towards Lu Changsheng’s head.
Lu Changsheng no longer hesitated and released all of his momentum.
The blood and energy within his body roared, bursting out and instantly transforming into a blood cloud.
The blood cloud soared into the sky, blocking in front of Lu Changsheng.
The dense arrows of the Venomous Sect fell on the blood cloud and were immediately bounced off. They couldn’t penetrate the blood cloud at all.
At the same time, the terrifying momentum pressed down on everyone in the Venomous Sect like Mount Tai, rendering even the Organ Refining Realm martial artist motionless.
"God... Divine Power Realm!"
The Venomous Sect’s Organ Refining Realm martial artist looked at the blood cloud above Lu Changsheng’s head with incomparable horror.
Such horrifying blood and energy, such terrifying momentum, without a doubt, Lu Changsheng was a martial artist in the Divine Power Realm!
However, according to their investigation, Lu Changsheng was clearly just a talented Langzhong. How did he become a fearsome martial artist in the Divine Power Realm?
At this moment, Young Master Tan in front of Lu Changsheng couldn’t utter a word.
He trembled all over.
The hand that struck towards Lu Changsheng’s arm was also directly gripped by Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng actually tore off Young Master Tan’s arm with sheer force.
