Chapter 46 Killing

Guo Huai's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Looking at Wu Ming, who was only pointing his spear at him and not making a move, his courage finally returned somewhat, and the effects of the alcohol wore off considerably. He said in a trembling voice:
"No, don't be impulsive, brother. You're that guy, right? I accidentally hurt your dad before. We don't need to do this. I can apologize to you."

Although he was usually domineering, he knew the principle of not suffering losses in front of him. Especially now, feeling the coldness in Wu Ming's eyes, as if there were sharp edges behind him, he had no doubt that Wu Ming would really dare to kill him.

Blood-coagulating warriors are all about bravado and brute force. Even though Guo Huai had cursed Wu Ming's ancestors to the eighteenth generation in his heart and was already thinking about how to seek revenge after this matter was over, he could only beg for mercy at this moment.

That's when.

Lu Yuan also heard the commotion and rushed over with several members of the Sand Boat Gang. Upon seeing the scene, he was immediately taken aback. Although it was his first time meeting Wu Ming, he immediately guessed Wu Ming's identity and said:
"Is this Brother Wu Ming? Let's talk this out, please don't act impulsively."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he stepped forward, intending to stop Wu Ming. However, after taking only a few steps, his gaze met a cold glance from Wu Ming, and he felt a chill in his heart, causing him to pause in his steps.

That chilling gaze, that pervasive murderous aura—it was nothing like a young martial artist not yet twenty. He was more like a violent killing star, as if he had just escaped a brutal bloodbath. Even though he had been a member of the Sand Ship Gang for many years and was a veteran of countless battles, when his eyes met Wu Ming's, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and a trace of fear rose up.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was cursing Guo Huai to the core. It was one thing for Guo Huai to run rampant in the surrounding villages, but how did he have to provoke a martial artist, and this young man, in particular, with such a bloodthirsty aura?

This year,
While background is important, one's own abilities are also crucial.

Guo Huai is ignorant and incompetent, and his martial arts skills are clumsy. If he offends other martial artists, they will be furious and kill him on the spot. Even if your brother is very capable afterward, he cannot bring you back to life. What good will it do to avenge you?

Wu Ming stared indifferently at Guo Huai, then his gaze suddenly shifted to the woman on the bed in the room. He frowned slightly. With his spiritual cultivation, he could sense that the woman's will was almost nonexistent; she was practically a walking corpse. Moreover, her naked body was covered in wounds, indicating that she had suffered countless torments.

"What happened to that woman?"

Wu Ming turned to look at Guo Huai and finally spoke for the first time, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.

"This, this..."

Guo Huai stammered and couldn't say anything for a moment.

"Ok?"

Wu Ming thrust the spear forward, the icy, stinging sensation filling Guo Huai with terror. He finally blurted out, "Yes, it was picked up from outside by someone in the gang. It has nothing to do with me. I was just playing around..."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Realizing the situation was not right, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Wu Ming, our Sand Boat Gang never engages in the business of forcibly abducting women. This woman couldn't survive on her own, so we brought her back to raise her."

"Oh."

Wu Ming nodded, and then thrust his spear forward.

puff.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

Guo Huai clutched his throat and fell backward, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

"You, how dare you kill someone!"

Lu Yuan's expression changed drastically; his previously smiling face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

It's true that Guo Huai is a good-for-nothing, but for him to die in the territory of the Sand Boat Gang, right in front of him, would be a huge problem, especially since several of the leaders were not present. He couldn't afford to take the blame if Guo Xiang got angry afterwards!

"So what if we kill them?"

Wu Ming slowly retracted his spear.

These days, the area outside Jingye City is basically a no-man's-land. If martial artists wantonly kill civilians and the situation becomes serious, the Censorate might take action. But if it's just a fight between martial artists, the Censorate in the city won't care about life or death. Besides, Guo Huai has committed many evils and deserves to die long ago.

Lu Yuan's face was extremely ugly. With a clang, he drew his short sword from his body and said:

"In that case, you may stay as well."

He had cursed Guo Huai a thousand times in his heart, and Wu Ming a hundred times. Guo Huai had to die on his turf, and Wu Ming had to kill someone here.

If they were outside, Wu Ming killing Guo Huai would have nothing to do with him. No matter how furious Guo Xiang was afterwards, it wouldn't affect him. Naturally, Guo Xiang would only seek revenge on Wu Ming. But Guo Huai died here, right in front of him, so he couldn't escape the consequences. Just thinking about Guo Xiang filled Lu Yuan with fear. Knowing that Wu Ming was no ordinary man, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and draw his sword.

"Surround him! Don't let him get away!"

Lu Yuan shouted in a deep voice, and the four or five members of the Sand Boat Gang behind him also revealed fierce glints in their eyes. They drew their boat knives and surrounded Wu Ming. Although these gang members were not martial artists, they had worked for the Sand Boat Gang for many years and were all vicious thugs with blood on their hands. Under Lu Yuan's leadership, even though they knew that Wu Ming was a Blood Condensation Martial Artist, they did not panic.

Although Blood Coagulation Warriors are powerful, they are still made of flesh and blood. These sailors have fought against Blood Coagulation Warriors before, and even when multiple people work together, they have killed a real Blood Coagulation Warrior on the ship.

Now that Guo Huai is dead here, if Wu Ming gets away, there will be no way to explain it later.

"on!"

Lu Yuan stepped forward with his knife, and seeing Wu Ming holding a spear and walking outwards, ignoring their encirclement, he finally couldn't hold back any longer. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, he gave an order.

In that instant, the members of the Sand Boat Gang surrounding Wu Ming all revealed fierce glints in their eyes. Holding a boat knife in one hand, they suddenly reached into their pockets with the other and pulled out a handful of quicklime, which they then splashed onto Wu Ming's head.

They weren't blood-coagulation martial artists, so of course they wouldn't dare to confront martial artists head-on. But having sailed for years, they had their own ways of dealing with martial artists. Relying on their numbers, they would simply use various underhanded methods to ambush them. Quicklime was a very useful substance. Once it was splashed all over their heads and faces on the boat, they could easily splash a basin of river water on them. Even the most powerful blood-coagulation martial artist couldn't withstand that.

however.

Wu Ming's gaze remained unchanged as he watched the actions of the Sand Boat Gang members.

In his perception, even the Blood Condensation Warriors moved slightly slowly, let alone these ordinary gang members. Their seemingly fast movements were like slow motion in his eyes, and he could see them clearly.

laugh.

Everyone only felt a flash of cold light.

One of the Sand Boat Gang members couldn't even scream before the tip of the Crimson Python Spear pierced through his neck.

At the same time, Wu Ming pulled with his right arm, not pulling out the gun but flinging the body of the Sand Boat Gang member into the air, blocking the quicklime that was being thrown at him.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

After blocking all the quicklime, Wu Ming stepped forward, flicked his spear, and a cold glint flashed in his hand.

The four members of the Sand Boat Gang had just finished splashing lime and hadn't had time to do anything else when they were all shot in the neck. Their boat knives were useless, and they fell down one by one, their eyes wide open and clutching their throats.

Whoosh.

Even as the gang members were making their move, Lu Yuan acted decisively. He immediately dodged and forcefully circled behind Wu Ming, flicking his boat knife and slashing fiercely from behind, intending to take advantage of Wu Ming's distraction while dealing with the gang members to finish him off.

However, even though he had clearly circled behind him and swung his sword with such deliberate silence that it was almost a silent strike, Wu Ming seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, seeing everything clearly. With just one step forward, he perfectly dodged the sword from behind.

Followed by.

A cold glint suddenly magnified in Lu Yuan's vision!

"Oops."

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. In shock, he swung his sword to block and tried to dodge.

But the shot was too fast, and it came suddenly in the gap between his missed strikes, making it impossible to dodge. Even though he tried his best to dodge, the shot still pierced through his chest!

This is the "Returning Leaf" style in the Falling Leaf Spear Technique, also known as the "Returning Horse Spear" in spear techniques. When you master it, your body is still moving forward, but the spear in your hand has already used the power of your waist to turn and thrust, as fast as lightning. Even if you are prepared in advance, it is extremely difficult to dodge, let alone Lu Yuan who was caught off guard and naturally could not dodge it.

"you……"

Lu Yuan was a martial artist who could congeal blood. Although he was shot in a vital spot in his chest, he staggered back a few steps and did not fall down and die immediately. Instead, he clutched the hole in his chest that was constantly gushing blood and stared intently at Wu Ming.

He spat out a little blood, accompanied by a resentful and bitter remark:
"I'm waiting for you..."

Wu Ming killed Guo Huai, and it happened on the territory of the Sand Boat Gang. No matter how much they tried to clean up, they couldn't completely hide the traces. It was impossible to conceal them, and he would inevitably face Guo Xiang's wrath afterward.

Although Wu Ming's spear technique was exquisite and terrifying, after a brief exchange, he clearly judged that Wu Ming's level was only at the first stage of blood coagulation, while Guo Xiang, as an inner disciple of the Black Fiend Sect, was far beyond what Wu Ming could withstand.

puff.

Lu Yuan's body finally fell into a pool of blood.
