Chapter 131: How Dare You Hurt My Little Thief
Facing this overwhelming green sword aura that seemed to cover the sky, the middle-aged man had lost his previous arrogance. His face now displayed an expression of disbelief, and he appeared somewhat bewildered. He was shocked by Lu Xun's strength, amazed by his shamelessness, and frightened by the sword aura.
This person clearly only had the strength of Late Stage Heaven Realm, but he possessed such terrifying sword aura. Could it be that I've misjudged him?
Before the middle-aged man could think too much, the green sword aura was already almost upon him. With a roar, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, while his heart burned with boundless fighting spirit. Regardless of this person's lack of sportsmanship, just based on this green sword aura, the man acknowledged his opponent's strength.
Boom!
The green sword aura instantly engulfed the strong man, and waves of shockwaves kicked up clouds of dust.
"Princess, be careful!"
The old woman hurriedly shielded the elegantly dressed woman to prevent her from being affected.
"Haha!"
"Interesting, truly fascinating!" A loud, excited voice came from within the dust cloud. The words were tinged with madness and excitement. Just as the voice fell silent, a shadow darted towards Lu Xun, simultaneously unleashing his most deadly and powerful punch.
The fist was as fast as lightning, accompanied by a whistling sound, like a red meteor streaking straight towards Lu Xun's face.
Would he dare to take it head-on? He wouldn't! If my prediction is correct, he will dodge and avoid it, then I'll follow up with another punch that he can't evade!
The middle-aged man had already anticipated Lu Xun's next move, and all that remained was to declare his death sentence. However, the subsequent events greatly exceeded his expectations. Lu Xun did not dodge or evade; he stood there straight, seemingly planning to take the punch head-on.
Or maybe he's been frightened to the point of stupidity by me?
As he watched the sandbag-sized fist approaching his forehead, Lu Xun silently concentrated all his energy into his left arm, preparing to clash fists with the man. Although this behavior was somewhat reckless, he didn't want to miss this rare opportunity for a real battle.
Bang!
Fist met fist in mid-air, and two powerful forces instantly tore through the surrounding air, each exhibiting an overwhelmingly oppressive force. The shockwaves generated were even more ferocious than before.
Compared to the elegantly dressed woman who covered her mouth and nose, completely unaware of what was happening, the old man and woman protecting her displayed expressions of shock, disbelief, and even a hint of anxiety.
Lu Xun's strength had greatly exceeded the expectations of the two elders. Their son was at the cultivation of Innate realm, but he couldn't gain the upper hand against someone at the Heaven realm. This was unheard of. One should note that the gap between the Innate realm and Heaven Realm was not just one level; it was an insurmountable chasm.
The middle-aged man stared in disbelief at Lu Xun, the mysterious and unpredictable young man before him. The arm he had used to clash fists was now throbbing with intense pain. It felt as if his bones had been shattered. Yet he dared not let his guard down. He prepared to strike Lu Xun's chest with his other fist.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a white powder appeared in front of the man's eyes, and immediately after, his vision went completely white. At the same time, accompanied by a searing pain, he realized it was lime powder! His opponent actually used lime powder!
Meanwhile, not far away, the two elders were dumbfounded. The old man and woman watched in disbelief as Lu Xun, with a handful of quicklime, directly threw it in their son's face. This… this was simply scum! Clearly, he possessed such formidable strength, yet he resorted to such underhanded tactics!
However, the family of three underestimated Lu Xun's shamelessness. Lime powder was just the beginning. Following that, there were eye gouges, throat locks, groin kicks, and toe stomps. The couple was completely stunned, while the middle-aged man lay on the ground, curled up and groaning in pain.
"Remember," Lu Xun said, looking at the writhing man on the ground, his tone serious. "The martial world is treacherous."
"Son!"
"Are you… okay?" The old woman hurriedly approached her son, looking at him in pain on the ground. She couldn't help but feel an overwhelming anger and glared fiercely at Lu Xun, gritting her teeth. "You little rascal, to be so vicious! If I don't break your arm today, I won't be able to swallow this anger!"
As the words fell, the white-haired old woman raised her thin, bony arm, ready to strike him with her palm. However, at that moment, the elegantly dressed woman spoke.
"Wait." The woman looked at Lu Xun and calmly said, "Let him go for now."
"…"
"Princess!"
The old woman, with an urgent expression on her face, looked at the woman, pursed her lips, and answered respectfully, "Yes, Princess."
The reluctant old woman helped her son to his feet, giving Lu Xun a cold, disdainful look. Mother and son then returned to the side of the old man.
"What's your name?" the elegantly dressed woman asked Lu Xun, her tone calm.
"I'm Lu Xun," he replied. "Lü as in land, Xun as in search."
Lu Xun sheathed his sword and looked at the elegantly dressed woman in the pavilion. Now that he had the chance, he carefully observed her appearance. Unlike the little demoness, the big demoness, or the cute little fox, this woman exuded a sense of cunning while still maintaining an emperor-like nobility.
As for her appearance and figure…
Her appearance was comparable to the little demoness, stunningly beautiful in her coldness. However, her chest wasn't very large, but certainly larger than the little fox's. Her legs were likely long and slender, though her dress concealed them well. But from the position of the green silk belt, it was clear that this woman possessed a pair of world-class legs.
"Lu Xun," the elegantly dressed woman mumbled and then asked, "In your letter, you mentioned helping me ascend the imperial throne. How do you plan to do that?"
"I will raise an uprising, and I will destroy the imperial fortune," Lu Xun replied.
"…"
"Destroy the imperial fortune?" The woman raised an eyebrow and said scornfully, "With just you?"
"Yes," Lu Xun nodded and smiled. "Don't believe me?"
"Nonsense!"
The hunchbacked old man frowned and said with a dark expression, "The imperial fortune is not something you can simply destroy. In fact, you won't even be able to find it."
As he spoke, the old man turned to the elegantly dressed woman behind him and said, "Princess, this person's origins are unclear, and he's full of cunning tricks. Moreover, he's so arrogant and conceited. If we keep him by your side, it will surely bring disaster. It's better to let me kill him now to eliminate future troubles and prevent him from becoming our enemy."
The elegantly dressed woman was caught in hesitation, feeling reluctant in her heart but also thinking that the old man had a point.
"Sigh…"
"Why do you always resort to violence?" Lu Xun frowned and said helplessly, "I've always been against violence because I am a victim of it myself. Moreover, business should be about making friends, but when I came here, everyone seems so eager to kill. You all seem quite old, so why act so immature?"
"The world is like that, survival of the fittest," the old man said expressionlessly.
"Survival of the fittest….The problem is, you are already weak but pretend to be strong and bully others." Lu Xun shrugged, unimpressed. "I've tried to be reasonable, but why are you so domineering?"
He secretly complained in his heart; Sister, did you choose the wrong people?
"That's all!"
"It seems the princess lacks the heart of an emperor, and she's indecisive," Lu Xun said casually, turning away. "I'll look for someone else. You won't achieve much in the end."
After saying this, he began to leave.
Watching Lu Xun's departing figure, the elegantly dressed woman said coldly, "Kill him."
Even if he can't be of use to me, I can't let someone else benefit from him, the woman thought to herself.
"Yes!"
The hunchbacked old man agreed and turned to the old woman beside him, saying, "Wife, let's go together!"
As the words fell, the old man lunged towards Lu Xun, and the old woman, unwilling to lag behind, followed closely. Both of them had harbored hatred for Lu Xun for a while now, and they were finally getting a chance to avenge their son. Naturally, they spared no effort and aimed to deliver a deadly blow without leaving him to survive.
Danger! It's an ambush!
Lu Xun immediately drew his sword and turned to block the approaching attacks from the old couple. He had expected a powerful strike, but their palms were unexpectedly soft and posed no real threat.
"Hmph."
"You've already fallen victim to our Poisonous Empty Palms," the old man boasted. "Within ten steps, you will succumb."
Lu Xun couldn't help but stare in confusion, looking at the old couple. He asked, "I've been poisoned? But I clearly blocked your attacks."
"Our Poisonous Empty Palms don't require physical contact to poison the victim," the old woman said coldly. "Kid, you have some strength, but dying at our hands can be considered your good fortune."
Lu Xun couldn't help but chuckle. "I like your serious comedy."
With that said, he swung his sword.
Facing Lu Xun's sudden counterattack, the old couple was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. They stared at him, utterly incredulous, and a bit caught off guard.
After a brief moment of shock, they snapped back to their senses and both dodged Lu Xun's swings. They now stood at a distance, and the old woman asked in fear, "Why… Why aren't you dead yet?"
"Nonsense!"
"I wasn't poisoned at all," Lu Xun rolled his eyes and said unapologetically, "If I'm not poisoned, how could I die?"
What, he hasn't been poisoned at all!
The old couple exchanged glances, seeing each other's astonishment and confusion in their eyes. They had clearly injected poison into him, so how was it possible that it had no effect? He even counterattacked them.
"Oh ho…"
"You're in trouble now!"
Lu Xun smirked and said with a meaningful smile, "It would have been better to let me go earlier. Now, my wife is here."
As he spoke, a silver streak flashed across the sky and landed in front of Lu Xun in the blink of an eye.
"You…"
"How dare you hurt my little thief!!!"
