The Village Chief of Black Tiger Village screamed in pain, sweat the size of beans forming on his forehead, his eyes filled with stars, looking incredibly painful.
Even so, his strong willpower made him grip his tiger-head broadsaber tightly.
“Impossible, how can you be so powerful!”
He held the tiger-head broadsaber in one hand and pressed his bleeding waist with the other, staring at Lu Yun incredulously.
Lu Yun ignored his words, glanced back and forth between the Village Chief’s tiger-head broadsaber and the broken blade in his hand, and shook his head.
He then advanced with cold eyes, blood dripping from the broken blade.
“What are you all waiting for, hurry up and kill him!”
The Village Chief of Black Tiger Village, Song Xing, shouted loudly at the bandits behind him.
However, when he looked back, the bandits in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness were either trembling in fear or lying in pools of blood.
The rest were all rushing towards the main entrance, followed by a cold and fierce sword light that attacked them.
In the blink of an eye, the panicked fleeing bandits stopped in their tracks, involuntarily grabbing their own necks, trying in vain to stop the gushing pillars of blood.
Soon, a pair of pupils rapidly contracted, losing their vitality.
“Your saber belongs to me now!”
Lu Yun threw the broken blade on the ground, wrapped his fist with powerful Pure Yang aggressive aura, and struck the severely injured Village Chief Song Xing of Black Tiger Village.
Boom!
As if a thunderbolt struck unexpectedly, Song Xing was instantly thrown back, the black-tiger broadsaber also flung away.
Lu Yun picked up the fallen tiger-head broadsaber and gently ran his fingers over the blade, feeling an icy sensation travel from his fingertips to his mind. “Good saber, good saber!”
Lu Yun’s eyes revealed undisguised love for it.
“In gratitude for your gift, I can only offer you a swift death in return!”
Upon hearing this, Song Xing trembled with rage, his eyes burning with fury, wishing he could immediately choke the child in front of him to death, just like he had done to others in the past.
However, times had changed, and Lu Yun was no longer one of those he could casually kill.
With the swing of the saber, a round-eyed head rolled on the ground, and the Village Chief Song Xing’s gigantic body fell with a loud thud.
There was silence in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, a silence that made one’s heart tremble.
Xiao Chen stood with his sword, looking coldly at the shivering bandits in the hall, his powerful aura causing their bodies to tremble even more.
Today, the Black Tiger Village bandits gathered in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness were the elite of the village, most of them in the Enter Martial Realm, and some even in the early stages of the Meridian Passage Realm.
But under Xiao Chen’s sword, they were just like ordinary people, with almost no power to resist.
What frightened them even more was the terrifying power of the two youngsters, one more terrifying than the other, like demons.
Almost simultaneously, the thought emerged in the minds of the frightened bandits trembling on the spot.
Lu Yun, carrying the tiger-head broadsaber that was almost half his height, walked over and instantly took in the situation in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.
In the time it took him to deal with the Village Chief of Black Tiger Village, Xiao Chen had already killed dozens of people, and the remaining bandits were terrified by his murderous strength.
This formidable fighting strength was truly breathtaking.
Seeing Lu Yun approaching, Xiao Chen nodded slightly.
The fact that Lu Yun had killed the Village Chief of Black Tiger Village, who was at the peak of the Meridian Passage Realm, in just three or four moves demonstrated his strength was even higher than Xiao Chen had anticipated.
Lu Yun also smiled faintly: “It’s said that sword cultivators have the most terrifying attacks. Today, I’ve seen it for myself!”
“Just a rabble!”
Xiao Chen shook his head, then his gaze turned cold as he looked at the remaining bandits in the hall.
“Even if they were just a rabble, they never showed mercy when they harmed those who were powerless!”
As he spoke, he flicked his long sword, and the sword light flashed, instantly turning into dozens of beams shooting out. The lights were like blooming stars, extremely dazzling, blinding the bandits and causing them to lose their sense of direction.
When the sword light dissipated, Xiao Chen sheathed his sword, his entire body free of blood, as if the fierce battle that had just taken place had nothing to do with him.
Looking at the fallen bodies on the ground, Lu Yun didn’t say anything.
Xiao Chen was right. Although these bandits had lost their leader, compared to ordinary people, they still had considerable strength. If they were let go today, they might cause trouble again in the future.
Moreover, these people had more or less been stained with fresh blood; today’s massacre was well deserved.
“Hmm, where is Captain Wang?”
Lu Yun suddenly realized that Captain Wang, who had stormed into the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness with them, was nowhere to be found.
“One person ran away earlier, and Captain Wang chased after him!” Xiao Chen responded and then began to search the bodies.
Lu Yun was taking aback by his actions.
Immediately afterward, he also started to take action along with Xiao Chen.
After fifteen minutes had passed, the two looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile.
The harvest wasn’t much, Lu Yun only found a little over two hundred taels of silver.
However, it was still some extra income, and Lu Yun was quite satisfied with it.
“We should have kept a hostage alive earlier.” Seemingly thinking of something, Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
“Hmm?”
Feeling Lu Yun’s puzzled gaze, Xiao Chen said, “There should be a lot of stock in the Black Tiger Village’s treasure vault. Without someone guiding us, I’m afraid we’ll have to search slowly on our own, and we might not even find it.” “Right, I almost forgot about the most important place!”
Lu Yun stomped his foot and said to Xiao Chen, “Follow me!”
Xiao Chen had no doubts and followed Lu Yun out of the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, heading towards the residential buildings.
Lu Yun headed straight for the most ornately decorated building, and after entering the inner room, powerful aggressive aura coalesced on the saber blade, and he slashed horizontally at the wall in front of him, causing it to collapse loudly.
As Lu Yun had guessed, there was indeed another hidden world inside.
“How did you know there would be a hidden room here? It’s like you’ve been here before.” Xiao Chen looked at Lu Yun in amazement.
If it weren’t for the fact that Lu Yun had come with him, he might have thought Lu Yun was a member of Black Tiger Village.
“In the entire village, the Village Chief of Black Tiger Village holds the highest position. Naturally, the place he lives in is different from the rest, and by the same reasoning, the most precious things should be guarded by the highest-ranking person.”
“Of course, this is just my guess, but luckily, I wasn’t wrong.”
After speaking, Lu Yun went forward.
There were a total of three large chests here, and with a flick of Lu Yun’s right hand, the locks on the chests were broken.
“It seems our harvest is pretty good!”
Looking at the shining silver in front of him, Lu Yun nodded slightly and then closed the chest.
Consequently, he swung his saber again, preparing to break open the locks on the other two chests.
However, someone had already been faster than him and opened the chests. Lu Yun chuckled and shook his head.
The person who opened the chests was Xiao Chen, who seemed much more skilled at it than Lu Yun.
Lu Yun’s eyes fell on the two chests, one containing dazzling, colorful jewels and silver ornaments.
The other one was empty, with only two yellowed books placed inside.
“Could this be martial arts?”
