Chen Zhenglong was rolling on the ground in pain, clutching the broken part of his left arm with his right hand.
His eyes were already red. A severed arm, something that cannot grow back! With just one cut, he had become a cripple.
His two companions were less severely injured, and their wounds have already healed.
But upon seeing Canghai holding a dagger and crouching beside him, he immediately lay face down on the ground, too afraid to move.
They heard the conversation between Canghai and Lu Yu, and their faces immediately turned somewhat grim.
The voice of the man in black made their hair stand on end!
At first, Kuroko said they couldn’t do it, and they initially refused to accept it.
But now, they have no choice but to submit.
As soon as he made a move, they couldn’t even block a single strike, not even seeing clearly how Canghai had drawn his blade.
A crowd of onlookers nearby began to murmur among themselves.
“Did you see that?”
“I saw it clearly, but it’s a bit fast, making it hard to dodge.”
“You need to be more careful. In the future, don’t act recklessly when you encounter something.”
As for them, they did not stop Chen Zhenglong and the others from causing trouble, as they also wanted to observe from the sidelines and see exactly what strength the Canghai sect truly possessed.
If one’s strength is insufficient.
Once the cities are connected, they will annex the mines in Canghai’s city.
But now it seems that Canghai’s strength is not enough to make them feel at ease.
“However, the other one seems stronger to me.”
“I heard from Canghai that he was the first to enter here, followed by this man in black.”
“Those who can enter early are usually the ones who have already taken control of the mine. For someone to come in alone, he must be a formidable person.”
“Be more careful from now on.”
As the sea was about to come to an end, they began to notice Lu Yu.
Since Lu Yu and Heizi started fighting, it was very straightforward, and they almost stopped after just one move.
With this move, they all heard the sound of Lu Yu’s arm breaking.
However, seeing the dominant Heizi abandon the attack, his demeanor was surprisingly respectful.
“Who is Basong?”
“He seems to be a Muay Thai expert. This black-clothed man must have fought with Muay Thai masters before; he’s probably a ruthless character.”
Muay Thai is definitely practical in real combat. The fact that this person could fight against Muay Thai experts really surprised them.
As people were talking, Chen Zhenglong had already cried out in pain and shouted, “Heizi, what the hell are you doing?”
“Mom, quickly do something to save us.”
“If something happens to us, how will you explain it to your father?”
All three young men shouted.
Hei Zi wanted to speak, but he saw Lu Yu pointing at him with his finger and coldly said, “You, stand there. Dare to interfere, and I’ll send your corpse back.”
Heizi’s face turned slightly pale, and he nodded immediately.
Previously, I was just a student at Basong’s gym and had no qualification to learn from Basong.
It wasn’t until three years ago, after gaining some reputation in underground boxing matches, that he became eligible to learn boxing under Basong’s personal guidance.
He became aware of the existence of the person before him.
Master praised this person, having had an equal-level discussion about practical combat with him one night back then, so he is at the same level as Master.
For this reason alone, he dared not be negligent.
“Hey Heizi, are you just going to obediently watch with your eyes wide open?”
Chen Zhenglong, seeing that Heizi still wouldn’t move, called out, “Wu Wenjie, do you really want to watch us make fools of ourselves?”
“You’ve already disgraced yourselves enough,” said Canghai, as he plunged the dagger in his hand directly into the elbow joint of Chen Zhenglong’s remaining arm, then twisted it violently.
“Ugh, ah!” Chen Zhenglong felt as if something had been forcefully squeezed between his bones, causing an agonizing sensation as though they were being forcibly pulled apart.
“Everyone here is from major cities across the country. The three of you have already embarrassed yourselves nationwide; are you still afraid of being humiliated?”
Lu Yu walked up to the three of them and squatted down, saying, “Now we should be able to have a proper talk about the Star Spirit Stone.”
Saying this, Lu Yu picked up the short sword from Chen Zhenglong’s hand and smiled, “Now, tell me, how much is this worth?”
“Thousand Star Spirits!” Chen Zhenglong snorted coldly and said, “It’s only worth a thousand Star Spirits.”
“Good!” Lu Yu’s smile suddenly vanished. He plunged the short sword in his hand into Chen Zhenglong’s scapula, and then drove the tip of the blade into the ground.
“Ahh!”
Chen Zhenglong fell to the ground, crying out as he bit into a mouthful of gravel, his face contorted with pain.
Lu Yu’s expression turned dark and cold as he said in a deep voice, “Tell me now, how much is it worth.”
His hand pressed down on the hilt of the dagger, then slowly pressed lower.
The blade inched deeper into Zheng Long’s shoulder blade, grinding against the bone with a chilling, grating sound.
“Stop, stop!” Chen Zhenglong cried out in pain, sweat dripping from his forehead to the ground, shouting, “Ten thousand, it’s worth ten thousand.”
Canghai snorted coldly at the side, “Damn it. He was just asking for a beating. If he had spoken up earlier, he wouldn’t have ended up getting hit like this.”
Chen Zhenglong glared at Canghai with intense hatred, then quickly withdrew his response.
“Since it’s worth ten thousand, that means I win.” Lu Yu drew his dagger, shaking off the blood, and said, “Then you admit you agree to the terms of our deal?”
Chen Zhenglong stared at Lu Yu with a look that seemed to want to flay him alive, saying, “Right now, I’m not as good as you. Whatever you say goes; what can I possibly say?”
Lu Yu, not angry at all, said, “So that means you don’t admit it.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu suddenly turned the short sword around and struck Chen Zhenglong’s arm joint hard with the hilt.
“Crack!”
Chen Zhenglong’s elbow joint shattered, and he cried out in pain: “I admit it, I admit it.”
He was also a smart man who understood the principle of not provoking unnecessary conflicts.
“But the look in your eyes doesn’t seem like an admission!” Lu Yu said coldly, “Don’t think I can’t see what you’re thinking. I want you to admit it wholeheartedly.”
“I admit it,” Chen Zhenglong gritted his teeth, exhaled deeply, and tried to calm his voice as he said, “This should be enough, right?”
As a result, right after Chen Zhenglong finished speaking, the sword hilt struck down heavily once again.
This time, the hilt of the sword struck his little finger, crushing the fingertip and shattering the bone.
This strike caused many people in the surrounding crowd to shudder inwardly.
They say the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and even a small prick on the fingernail can be extremely painful. Yet this person actually crushed their fingertip in one strike—the pain must have been beyond description.
Chen Zhenglong let out a terrible scream, his voice completely distorted.
“You only have five fingers now, and I can smash them one by one. You should be grateful for the ‘health points’ attribute, which allows your fingers to regenerate even after they’re broken. But I wonder, when your health points drop below one hundred, what ability will you have left to recover?”
“I’ve already admitted it, so why are you still hitting me?” Chen Zhenglong was so furious he could have eaten Lu Yu’s heart.
“It takes genuine conviction to admit defeat. What good is your reluctant acceptance?” Lu Yu said, gripping his short sword.
“Damn it, this old man—I!”
Chen Zhenglong also had his own temper, but before he could even finish his curse, Lu Yu once again struck the tip of his thumb with the hilt of his sword.
“You—ah!”
“Do you really think I can’t tell that you’re convinced and impressed?”
Lu Yu sneered coldly, “Just now, the three of you were so confident, so determined to kill me. Now, you don’t even have the courage to admit it?”
This smile now is truly comparable to that of a demon.
There was no need for Chen Zhenglong to say much; as soon as a single word left his mouth, he had already been struck.
He felt that this person had a pair of ghostly eyes beneath the hat, capable of seeing through his thoughts, making him feel ice-cold all over!
Heizi stood by, listening to Chen Zhenglong’s screams, his dark and thin face turning pale.
The master said that this person is a devil.
Once he becomes ruthless, there’s no one who can stop him.
Now it seems, those words are absolutely true.
Chen Zhenglong’s screams of agony lasted for ten minutes, starting from initial defiance, then turning into tearful pleas, and finally devolving into wails of despair.
The two companions beside him were crouched there, watching as Chen Zhenglong was tormented, their body hairs already standing on end.
However, Lu Yu remained cold-hearted, paying no heed to Chen Zhenglong’s cries and pleas, and instead became even more ruthless in his actions.
No one knows exactly how many times.
But someone noticed that Chen Zhenglong’s eyes were already changing.
From the initial bitterness and resentment to hatred, then the hatred gradually transformed into cold-bloodedness, and finally, in agony, it turned into fear and dread.
Chen Zhenglong could no longer bear to look Lu Yu in the eye, his voice trembling.
“Please, I’m begging you. I surrender. I was wrong, I really was wrong.” Chen Zhenglong could no longer cry; he kept pleading desperately, “I wanted to become famous. I admit it was because your Star Soldiers were so impressive that I became greedy. At first, I really intended to kill you. I genuinely wasn’t convinced before, but now I truly admit defeat. I’m scared.”
Chen Zhenglong’s nose, tears, and blood were already mixed together. Looking at the sword handle in Lu Yu’s hand, his entire body was trembling.
“Have you had enough? I think you’re just scared,” Lu Yu said coldly. “I don’t need your respect; I just need your fear. As long as you’re afraid of me, that’s enough.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu turned his head and fixed his gaze on the other two.
The mere sight of the two men was enough to make them feel a chill of pain throughout their entire bodies. Seeing Chen Zhenglong’s condition, the two immediately said, “We surrender; we admit defeat as well.”
“Then you’re admitting to the rules here?” Lu Yu asked.
The three of them nodded together.
“So, how many Star Spirit Stones do you think it would take to buy your lives!”
“This—”
The three of them suddenly realized that this issue still remained unresolved!
However, how should one answer this question?
They have never truly calculated how much a human life is worth.
“One life for a hundred Spirit Stones.” Chen Zhenglong saw Lu Yu turn his head to look at him, and he immediately felt nervous, carefully answering.
“Fine, then pay up.” Lu Yu put away his short sword and said, “If you can’t produce the Spirit Stone, I’ll take your life instead.”
“Ahh!” The other two were instantly taken aback. One of them blurted out, “One hundred spirit stones? You might as well just rob people.”
“None?” Lu Yu tilted his head, a short sword appearing in his hand once again.
“Yes, I do,” the man said, his face instantly turning pale.
Afraid? Yes, this is real fear!
Lu Yu said, “It’s not the person I fear, but the sword hilt!”
Canghai said at the side, “Can this be considered the first transaction here? One hundred star spirit stones for a life; in the future, the price could rise a bit.”
Chen Zhenglong and the other two stood up only after receiving a signal from Canghai.
They took off their backpacks and then moved closer together.
“Only, only one hundred and fifty coins!” The three looked at Lu Yu, feeling like crying.
“Then I’ll leave with half a life.” Lu Yu replied casually.
“Wait, let’s chip in,” the three of them immediately ran over to Heizi, made a quick estimate, and came back with fifty Star Spirit Stones.
“There are only two hundred here, not enough for three hundred.”
As the three of them spoke, they were all drenched in cold sweat.
Because if you look at Lu Yu’s methods, he really would take someone’s life.
“How many lives does this exchange cover? Two or three?” Lu Yu asked, taking the Star Soul Stone.
“Three people, of course there are three people.” The three of them answered in unison.
Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared before the three of them. They felt a chill at one ear and a sudden lightness in one arm.
Everything fell silent around them.
Someone couldn’t help but gasp in horror, even Hai Cang felt a chill run down his back.
He didn’t expect Lu Yu to be so ruthless.
Each of the three people was missing an ear and an arm, severed completely at the base, something that could never regenerate.
Lu Yu said coldly, “Lose one arm and one ear to compensate for thirty Star Spirit Stones.”
” ruthless enough!” someone couldn’t help exclaiming in a low voice. These series of moves made even them feel uneasy just by watching.
“Who exactly is this person?”
“How could there be such a ruthless person in that city?”
“I thought he would kill one person, but I didn’t expect him to attack three at once.”
Several people felt a chill down their spines.
Because everyone knows that sometimes threatening others is a tactic that better reveals a person’s ruthlessness.
More people began to reassess Lu Yu.
They saw his methods but didn’t know Lu Yu’s true strength, making him even harder to figure out.
Only at this moment did Chen Zhenglong and the other two finally grasp Lu Yu’s meaning, and only then did they begin to feel the pain.
Above the plains, the screams were like those of a pig being slaughtered.
When the three of them looked at Lu Yu, they recoiled in fear like mice seeing a cat, shouting as they quickly hid behind Heizi.
They were afraid of this man in black, and began to fear the night and the color black as well!
