Headless Immortal

Chapter 112 Blood, Slaughter and Fire

In my childhood.

A middle-aged bald man, pulling up his trousers and swaying his fleshy frame, walked down the stairs. He was shirtless, smoking a cigarette, and immediately saw Old Man Yu, dressed in a single layer of clothing, as he lifted the curtain.

He angrily said, "Didn't I tell you to get out? Why did you come back? I already told you that you've signed the house transfer contract, so there's no point in going to court."

"Get out of here!"

The bald man with a face full of scars glared fiercely and raised his fist to strike. He was too used to using force against the weak, and listening to the wails of the underdog gave him a real sense of satisfaction.

Old Yu instinctively wanted to leave, but he first looked at his boss beside him.

Zhu Hu retorted angrily, "And who are you?"

Lu Xun said calmly, "Take me to see your leader."

"Ha, you want to back him up?"

Before Zhu Hu could finish speaking, his hand was already close to the pale-faced youth: "Just because you're wearing sunglasses doesn't mean you can act like a ghost!"

Before he could even scream, Zhu Hu had already bitten his own hand.

Of course, he didn't put his hand in his mouth himself.

Lu Xun immediately shrugged Zhu Hu's shoulder and said calmly, "Lead the way."

"What the hell..."

With a snap, the bald, burly man's wrist was twisted off, and he finally let out a pig-like scream.

Fine beads of sweat clung to Zhu Hu's forehead. He trembled violently from the pain, even his lips turned white. The ferocity in his eyes was completely replaced by bloodshot veins, leaving only deep fear.

He is simply not a human being!
No one can easily dislocate another person's bones; in reality, he has only seen two people with such magical power.

Zhu Hu, his mouth full of blood, let out a bloodcurdling scream: "You're a Phantom Realm Walker?"

Lu Xun said, "I don't want to say it a second time."

"I'll take you."

Lu Xun carried Zhu Hu and walked towards the street corner.

Zhu Hu reluctantly pointed to a Santana with his right finger: "That's my... car."

Lu Xun drove back first, dumped the two thugs with broken arms and legs in the back seat, and then leaned out to say to Old Man Yu, "Uncle Yu, you don't need to go. Wait for my news, and I'll get the contract back for you."

Old Yu stood by the roadside and waved his hand, saying, "Be very careful."

Lu Xun waved his hand, stepped on the gas, and drove onto the road.

As Mr. Yu watched the Santana drive away, his eyes revealed seven parts joy, three parts worry, and fear.

From childhood to adulthood, and into old age, he had never felt so exhilarated. To him, his boss was not a devil, but a bodhisattva who saved humanity.

Bodhisattvas may be a little heavy-handed, but thankfully no one was killed.

……

Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhu Hu was trembling with fear. He kept praying and questioning the identity of the pale-faced youth, but he couldn't open his mouth, afraid of angering the man in front of him who looked like a demon.

The skilled man clutched his phone, wanting to call the cult leader, but he didn't dare to.

"Guide the way."

“Chongyang District, Tulip Community”

"Villa area?"

"Yes."

parking.

What comes into view is a building that resembles a villa but is not quite a villa, with a plaque that reads "Mental Relaxation Base".

Zhu Hu explained, "It used to be a sales office, which was bought by the cult leader and used as a base."

How's the security?

There were probably five or six brothers up there.

Do you have firearms?

Zhu Hu looked at him like he was looking at a monster: "A fire-prohibited weapon."

Lu Xun chuckled. It can't be completely eradicated. There are quite a few people who have made a fortune by smuggling firearms. However, this kind of business is usually done further north, where it is near the Russians, making it easier to transport them in.

Moreover, most Phantom Realm Walkers know about black market strongholds, where a wide variety of firearms are sold at reasonable prices.

It's hard to guarantee that no traveler has the ability to store items; that would make things much easier.

……

Within the base.

The man in the white bathrobe leisurely held a wine glass, crossed his legs, stubbed out his cigarette, looked at the square-faced middle-aged man in a jacket sitting opposite him on the sofa, and sneered: "Brother Biao? Since when did it become the place for Tom, Dick, and Harry to make a name for themselves in Chongyang District? What makes you think you can hit my people?"

Liu Chengbiao glanced at the row of people standing behind the man in the bathrobe and said calmly, "Brother, you've gone too far."

Snapped!
A rough hand slaps a May Fourth pistol.

The man in the bathrobe sneered, "You think you can scare me with a broken short firearm? Do you think I, Lin Fengyou, am easily frightened? Even if you open it, I'll chop you into mincemeat."

He then showed his palm, a blood jade bracelet slithering across his wrist like a small snake; "I see you have great talent, why not join my ranks? Money, women, take your pick."

Liu Chengbiao was furious. He put away his May Fourth Movement without expression, stood up and said, "It seems there's no room for negotiation."

As he said that, he was about to leave.

"and many more."

"Did I let you go?"

Liu Chengbiao stopped and asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to instruct me on?"

“Leave your traveler’s pass.”

Liu Chengbiao clenched his fist, about to fire.

boom!
The wooden gate was suddenly pushed open.

That couldn't be described as pushing the door open; it was more like simply taking the door off the door frame.

Entering the main hall was a pale-faced young man wearing sunglasses, carrying a door in one hand and a person in the other. The young man asked, "Identify, which one?"

The person being carried pointed at the man in the bathrobe.

The pale-faced man in sunglasses looked in that direction.

Bald, with small eyes and small facial features, his face appears thin and round due to his chubby cheeks, and his eyebrows are sparse. He looks very shrewd, and when he smiles, he looks like a successful private entrepreneur.

Lu Xun asked, "Are you the leader of the Mind Sect?"

Lin Fengyou's face darkened instantly. Two ungrateful people had barged into his spiritual stronghold overnight, actually thinking that he, Lin Fengyou, was someone to be trifled with. It seemed that he would have to kill someone to establish his authority today.

He stood up and questioned, "That's right, I am Lin Fengyou. Who are you?"

Lu Xun did not answer, but looked at Liu Chengbiao beside him: "Are you also his subordinate?"

Liu Chengbiao immediately shook his head: "I would never do something that would lead to the extinction of my lineage."

Lu Xun threw the tiger in his hand away, turned to look at Lin Fengyou, the leader of the Heart God Sect, and said, "Give me the house transfer contract for Yu Chongshan."

Lin Fengyou frowned and asked, "Are you a relative of Yu Chongshan?"

"No."

What grudge do I have against you?

"No."

"Then what are you doing for?"

"Hire".

"He hired me to retrieve his things."

Lin Fengyou flew into a rage and commanded, "Kill him!"

The six thugs standing behind him drew their watermelon knives and rushed towards Lu Xun.

Liu Chengbiao shouted, "Watch out!"

boom.

With a single, resounding thud, the six thugs were almost falling to the ground one after the other. Mr. Ni's powerful strength instantly ended the battle, a one-sided crushing defeat. Just as everyone fell, Lu Xun had already reached Lin Fengyou's side. He activated his Iron Claw Scattering Hand, and with a sizzle, three bloody marks appeared on Lin Fengyou's raised arm.

"what."

Lu Xun hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, even if a martial artist who had haphazardly cultivated true qi was scratched by him, the wound should have exposed the bone. A modern person should have lost an arm. He didn't expect that there was only a bloodstain.

Either he has become weaker, or the modern-day illusionists are not to be underestimated.

In the instant Lu Xun glanced at it, a flash of blood appeared.

Hey.

The sunglasses were split in two as it brushed against his forehead.

A pair of blood-red vertical pupils were revealed.

It seems Liu Chengbiao wasn't telling the truth.

Based on the information provided, Lu Xun believed that as long as he was careful and did not provoke the state apparatus, he could really do whatever he wanted in the modern world.

Unexpectedly, the physical qualities of these illusionary travelers are already similar to those of martial artists who have cultivated true qi.

However, this is not his strongest strength. Mr. Ni's combat power in his human form is very limited, and he cannot even exert half of his original combat power.

The dark subway entrance pointed at the pale-faced Lu Xun.

"do not move."

Lin Fengyou's face was contorted with rage as he stared intently at Lu Xun, glancing at his own arm out of the corner of his eye.

Three bloody gashes stained his arm red, and a deep fear gripped him. Where did this monster come from? He had never heard of such a wanderer in Chongyang District.

Since he obtained the Blood Serpent Bracelet, his physical condition has changed dramatically. He felt that he should be ranked in the middle among the travelers, so he did not take Liu Chengbiao seriously. Now he is afraid.

Fear was like a powerful hand, squeezing his heart.

"Don't move either!" Liu Chengbiao stood at a distance, pointing a May Fourth rifle at Lin Fengyou.

Lin Fengyou gripped the short firearm tightly in his hand, his voice rising so high that it became shrill and sounded particularly harsh: "You said Yu Chongshan hired you to kill me, fine, how much? No matter how much he offers, I'll pay double, no, ten times! No matter how powerful you are, do you think you can dodge firearms?"

Seeing that the tough guy was standing there seemingly thinking, Liu Chengbiao quickly said, "Boss, don't be afraid. He won't dare to open it. Once it goes off, the department will definitely cause him trouble."

Lu Xun said, "Fifty thousand."

"To be precise, it is 51,150."

Lin Fengyou was overjoyed. Upon hearing that it was such a small amount, he hurriedly said, "I'll give you 500,000."

Lu Xun explained, "I gave him 50,000."

Lin Feng was taken aback.

No matter how smart he was, he never expected to receive such an answer.

What do you mean by 'I gave him 50,000'?

Is it now fashionable to pay employers to seek justice for them? What's the difference between that and charity? Or is this just a madman brainwashed by the idea of ​​'chivalry'?

While Lin Fengyou was still in a daze, a rough, hairy hand was already pressed against his face.

He tried to pull the trigger, but the firearm in his hand was grabbed by another hairy hand. When the hairy hand removed it, the firearm had become a black lump, unrecognizable from its original form.

The blood bracelet on her wrist transformed into a small snake and lunged straight at Lu Xun.

Snapped.

He casually slapped the hairy palm away.

The little snake landed on the ground, spun around, and transformed back into a bracelet.

Lin Fengyou's eyes widened. The person standing in front of him was no longer the pale-faced youth, but a white-haired ape with a red face and green teeth. Its golden demonic eyes were as indifferent as a king's, and its hairy paws easily lifted him up.

Lin Fengyou writhed his jaw, spitting out words through his throat as he coughed up blood: "Why?"

"Why are there such powerful practitioners...?"

"I don't know you!"

Wu Tonglu Xun said hoarsely, "The contract."

Lin Fengyou pointed with difficulty to a door in the hall.

Lu Xun dragged the person through the door like a dead dog, went into the basement and took the safe up. He didn't need a password at all; he used a water knife hidden in his palm to cut open the inner iron bolt.

Upon opening the safe, one is greeted by a black ledger, stacks of documents, cash, and neatly arranged gold bars.

"Get a brazier."

"Oh."

Liu Chengbiao suddenly realized what was happening, found a bronze object that he couldn't tell was a tripod or a basin, and took out a lighter to light it.

Lu found the contract, didn't even look at the others, and threw all the documents into the basin.

"Boss, this much needs to be burned slowly." Liu Chengbiao picked up some of it and used his hands to spread it out to make the flames burn brighter.

Lu Xun asked in surprise, "You know me?"

"I didn't recognize him before, but I do now." Liu Chengbiao looked at Lin Fengyou, who was barely breathing on the ground, and then at the white-haired ape that looked like it was wearing a bronze ghost mask.

Isn't this the high-level practitioner who spoke with him a few days ago?

I just don't know why he doesn't look like a pale-faced, burly man.

Changing one's appearance should not be difficult for advanced practitioners, let alone with today's advanced cosmetic surgery technology.

Lu Xun hadn't forgotten; rather, he realized the world seemed to have ignored him. He thought he wouldn't be recognized, so he asked, "Where did you send that black and gold box last time?"

Liu Chengbiao immediately panicked: "I...I..."

I couldn't come up with the place name even after trying for a long time.

His mind was completely blank; he had completely forgotten where he had asked his underling to deliver the black gold box.

"I forgot."

After much deliberation, he uttered these three words.

But this was his greatest sincerity; he was telling the absolute truth.

Lu Xun nodded slightly, not asking any further questions. He then used 'Mr. Ni's' head to pick up the ledger and began to look at it.

"Boss, what do we do with them?"

"killed."

Lin Fengyou tried to crawl away, his terrified eyes fixed on the ground.

Lu Xun snapped Lin Fengyou's throat.

He casually killed all six thugs on the ground, and didn't spare Zhu Hu and his two henchmen either.

In a flash,

Ten lives at stake.

Lu Xun frowned, a wicked thought popping into his head: why not kill Liu Chengbiao too?

He held his forehead and shook his head slightly. 'Mr. Ni' was never a good person. His remaining physical instincts transformed into a kind of restless desire.

Ten people is already a shocking case.

It was exhilarating, but afterwards you have to rack your brains to figure out how to minimize the impact.

Lu Xun looked at Liu Chengbiao: "Do you know how to dispose of a corpse?"

Liu Chengbiao said without hesitation, "Set it on fire."

“There are no surveillance cameras here, and nobody knows them. The detached villa won’t let the fire get bigger. They can just set it on fire and be done with it.”

Lu Xun pointed to the safe and asked, "Forty catties of gold, can it be converted into cash?"

"can."

"I know a very powerful middleman."

"Cash out the gold, and add the six or seven hundred thousand in cash here. Check the accounts with each person on the ledger one by one, and return the money to them."

Lu Xun slapped the black ledger he had just flipped through into Liu Chengbiao's hand and said, "You can do it, right? If you can't, just say so. I don't like to make things difficult for others."

Liu Chengbiao declared confidently and with great joy: "I guarantee it!"

It wasn't because he had the right to distribute forty catties of gold, but because he was pleasantly surprised to have something to do and to be able to build a relationship with the big boss. That way, he wouldn't have to be easily crushed by the big boss like Lin Fengyou.

To be honest, his heart was pounding just now, fearing that the high-level cultivator in front of him might go berserk and kill him as well.

Lu Xun picked up the blood-stained bracelet from the ground, stuffed the contract into a plastic bag, and then into his pocket: "Aren't you telling the department it's murder by piling them all together?"

Liu Chengbiao explained, "Boss, the truth will eventually come out. We're doing this to destroy as much evidence as possible."

Liu Chengbiao quickly took care of the rest.

They poured alcohol and other fuel to start a fire, and a raging blaze was set off.

The two went out and waited until the alarm sounded and the fire truck drove into the community before leaving.

On the road.

As Liu Chengbiao drove, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, why did you kill him?"

Lu Xun intended to say something else, but what he said was: "The Chongyang District does not allow people who do not follow the rules to exist."

"If the department investigates, just tell them that I killed him."

Who exactly are you?

Call me: Boss.

Lu Xun did not answer, but pointed to the intersection ahead and told Liu Chengbiao to stop the car.

Liu Chengbiao smiled and handed over the white business card: "Boss, this is my business card, there's a phone number on it."

Lu Xun picked it up and looked at it:
'Brother Biao is moving, needing courage, and acting as a bodyguard...'

The bottom has both landline and mobile phone numbers printed on it.

I'll call you again.

After getting off the car, Lu Xun went straight to the bungalow, handed the contract to Old Man Yu, and told him to burn it clean himself.

The original plan was to leave the Blood Serpent Bracelet for Old Man Yu to become a wanderer, but fearing it would attract covetous eyes and lead to him being swindled out of not just property and money, but his life, the plan was not given.

Walk out the door.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Lu Xun returned to the shop under the cover of night.

[Whether to use gifts from the employer]

Head transplant.

Wu Tonglu nodded in agreement.

The full power of the skull of the Five Gods 'Mountain Lord' has been unlocked.

"Unlock all power?"

This also happened when we strengthened the three-legged cat last time.

Since then, the Three-Legged Cat's Skull has been unable to be strengthened any further, as if it has reached its limit.

Without thinking too much about it, he realized that his fighting force wasn't based on a single head; each head had its own use.

Cremated remains: 3.2 taels

"repair."

Cremated remains: 2.1 taels.

After spending one tael and one mace to repair the missing-armed Living Buddha, two taels were left over.

After getting Mr. Ni's head back, Lu Xun returned to the cabin and retrieved his phone book.

His phone couldn't store many numbers, so he had to write them down in a notebook.

I've heard that smartphones are all the rage now, those wide-screen, ultra-thin touchscreen phones. The only downside is that they're easily damaged by bumps and knocks. Lu Xun scrolled through the number and looked at the contact's notes: "This company is too small-scale; they can only handle a few hundred thousand worth of goods at most."

"This is too mysterious."

"This place doesn't have a good reputation."

"..."

Lu Xun couldn't very well call the broker who sold him the information again. The broker seemed to be quite powerful, since he was asking for 1.8 million right off the bat. However, since it was just online communication, he was afraid of causing more trouble, and there was no basis for trust between them.

He picked up his phone and dialed Liu Chengbiao's private number.

"Hey."

A serious voice came from the other end: "This is Brother Biao moving house."

"It's me, boss."

"boss!"

Liu Chengbiao, who was checking the accounts while sitting on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight.

Several young men nearby cast curious glances at him, wondering what kind of boss was above the leader.

Liu Chengbiao held the phone with both hands, completely absorbed.

A voice came from the other end of the phone: "I have a batch of gold and silver jewelry that I need to get rid of. Can your middleman handle it?"

I asked cautiously, "Approximately how much?"

"Around ten million."

Liu Chengbiao breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that projects costing hundreds of millions of yuan were commonplace. He immediately assured him, "Yes, we can."

"address."

Liu Chengbiao was taken aback. It must be that the boss was asking for his address: "Jinxiu Community, Chongyang District, high-rise apartment 24, 2401".

After hanging up the phone, Liu Chengbiao leaned back on the sofa.

The long-faced young man asked, "Brother, who is this boss?"

Liu Chengbiao said solemnly, "When you meet him, show him some respect. He's a real big boss."

About twenty minutes.

dong dong.

A knock came from the door of the large apartment.

Liu Chengbiao got up to greet him.

"boss."

Lu Xun nodded and brought in two burlap sacks that were half a person's height.

"Get it for the boss."

Several young men rushed over to help, only to discover how heavy the sack was once they picked it up.

Lu Xun tore open the bag, revealing the jade and pearls inside: "As soon as possible, the starting price is ten million. How many days can it be done?"

Liu Chengbiao said, "Within three days, no, two days."

"it is good."

Lu Xun took the blood snake bracelet out of his pocket and handed it to Liu Chengbiao: "Take this for self-defense."

The young man beside him stared wide-eyed; the jade bracelet looked exactly like the credentials of a traveler from the Illusionary Realm.

"Call me when you're done. Anyone who tries to stop me, I'll kill them."

Lu Xun stared silently at Liu Chengbiao with his bloodshot eyes.

Liu Chengbiao's heart skipped a beat: "Please rest assured, boss."

……

Tulip Community.

A place for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The veteran detective frowned and asked, "How many did you find?"

"Ten."

"They were all killed instantly by snapping their throats."

Just as the young man was about to continue his report, a man in a black trench coat approached.

The man flashed an ID and said, "Special Investigations Division, this case is ours."

He tapped his ear and asked, "Is there any spiritual energy fluctuation?"

A startled voice came through the microphone: "Captain, the instruments have detected an extremely strong fluctuation of spiritual energy. This is probably a powerful dragon crossing the river!"

What level?

"Grade A".
