I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 80

Lu Qing decapitated a man with a single stroke.

Looking around at the corpses strewn everywhere, blood flowing freely, and heads scattered about, Mago and the others couldn't help but gasp.

They couldn't fathom what had transpired here to lead to such carnage.

Xiao Tian looked around, suddenly shouting, "Master Ma, look there!"

Mago followed his gaze and saw a head rolling on the ground, its eyes wide open in terror, extremely frightening.

"Heart-Snatcher Wolf... even he is dead?"

Mago's heart skipped a beat as he recognized the head.

Hearing the noise, Lu Qing turned his head to look at the newcomers.

His emotionless, ice-cold gaze immediately made Xiao Tian and the others take several steps back in fear.

Even Mago, a strongman of the Tendons and Bones Realm, felt his heart race and a chill rise from within, making his body go numb.

"Brother Lu! It's us!"

Afraid that Lu Qing might strike them down, Mago forced down his fear and quickly called out.

There was no choice; Lu Qing looked terrifying now.

His entire body emanated killing intent, like a grim reaper emerging from hell, incredibly intimidating.

After staring at the group for a while, making Xiao Tian and the others tremble, Lu Qing's killing intent gradually receded, and he regained his calm.

He didn't ask why Mago and the others were here.

Instead, he said directly, "Since you're here, Master Ma, I have a favor to ask."

"What is it, Brother Lu?" 

Seeing Lu Qing's killing aura subside significantly, Mago felt a bit relieved and asked.

Lu Qing didn't speak further. He used his blade to pick up a money pouch from the ground and walked forward.

Mago was stunned for a moment, then followed. The others hesitated for a moment before slowly following.

As Lu Qing continued walking, Xiao Tian and the others saw the corpses lying on both sides of the path, growing increasingly fearful.

They could recognize that most of these corpses were from Happy Fort, but there were also quite a few who were clearly gamblers or patrons seeking pleasure.

What had caused Lu Qing to unleash such a massacre?

Looking at Lu Qing's back, Xiao Tian and the others felt both fear and trepidation.

They could never have imagined that the normally polite and courteous Lu Qing had such a brutal and murderous side.

Mago, too, was taken aback by the corpses on the ground.

He could tell that most of these people had been killed with a single stroke while fleeing.

Some had clearly been killed while kneeling and begging for mercy.

Even begging for their lives hadn't saved them, showing just how strong Lu Qing's killing intent had been.

Lu Qing did not pause along the way and went straight to a house.

Mago's eyes narrowed, noticing that this house was different from the others in the fort, built of stone.

Lu Qing pushed open the door, making Mago's eye twitch again.

By the light outside, he saw three more bodies inside the house.

However, compared to the gruesome scenes outside, these three had died more decently.

At least, they had retained their whole bodies.

Mago was puzzled as to why Lu Qing had brought them here. Was there something special about these three corpses?

Then he saw that Lu Qing didn't even glance at the three bodies but continued to a fence, slashing the chain on the door.

A few faint cries of alarm sounded, making Mago realize that there were others in the dim corner.

Considering all the shocks he'd had since entering the fort, he might have missed them.

With his cultivation at the Tendons and Bones Realm, he should have noticed the people inside earlier.

"Master Ma, there are a few pitiable girls in here, and also some unfortunates in the wooden building in the middle of the fort. If possible, I'd like you to help arrange for them."

"As for the expenses..." Lu Qing paused before saying, "There should be plenty of silver in this fort to cover their care."

Mago took a lantern from the doorway, walked into the house, and finally saw the scene in the dim corner.

Seeing the few girls, thin and frightened, chained up, he understood why Lu Qing had been so furious and had gone on a killing spree.

Even he, now looking at this scene, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"The Black Wolf Gang's actions are too excessive," Mago said solemnly. "Don't worry, Brother Lu. I'll find a way to take care of these poor children."

"Not just these few," Lu Qing shook his head. "There are also some girls in the wooden building, mostly sold into the fort against their will. I hope you can help arrange for them as well. They don't need much, just a meal and a place to live."

Lu Qing knew that with his abilities, he couldn't properly care for these girls.

He neither had the time nor the energy.

Only someone like Mago, with family influence and resources, could handle such a task.

After a moment's consideration, Mago nodded, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to arrange it."

"Thank you."

Lu Qing pushed open the fence gate and walked in. In the girls' fearful gazes, he swung his blade, cutting the chains on their hands and feet.

Mago watched, his eye twitching again.

In such a dim environment, Lu Qing could precisely cut the chains without harming the girls.

This level of blade control was something even Mago couldn't easily achieve.

No wonder Lu Qing had single-handedly wiped out Happy Fort.

Even the Heart-Snatcher Wolf of the Black Wolf Gang had been slain by him.

With such blade skills, who in Happy Fort could stand against him?

"You few, the bad guys outside have all been killed by me. Soon, you'll follow this uncle, and he will arrange your future. Don't worry, you won't starve anymore."

At this time, Lu Qing spoke to the girls in the corner.

Seeing the last girl brought in, Lu Qing paused.

He took out a money pouch from his bosom.

"This is the money your father got from selling you. Use it to buy medicine for your mother and cure her illness as soon as possible. As for your father," Lu Qing paused, "I have already killed him."

The girl's eyes widened in shock, staring blankly at Lu Qing.

Without caring about her reaction, Lu Qing placed the money pouch in her hand and walked out.

Mago followed, giving instructions to Xiao Tian and the others to comfort the girls and clean up the aftermath.

After that, he saw Lu Qing walking out of the fort and hurried to catch up, "Brother Lu, where are you going?"

"I have some matters to think over alone. I will visit you in a few days to thank you, Master Ma."

Hearing this, Mago stopped in his tracks.

He looked around at the bodies scattered everywhere and decided not to follow.

He just watched as Lu Qing, carrying his battle blade, slowly left the fort.
