The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Boom!

Dust billowed as all five men collapsed to the ground.

Lu Yuan walked slowly toward Shen Fengxing with a blank expression, raising the battle sword in his hand.

"If you want to kill your master, kill us first!"

Four warriors shouted and, despite their heavy injuries, stood in front of Shen Fengxing to protect him.

Looking at the four people, Lu Yuan couldn't help but become even more interested.

"What benefits did Shen Fengxing give you that made you protect him to the death? Or do you have some weakness that Shen Fengxing holds over you? Did this bastard capture your family members?"

The four men did not answer, but instead spread their arms to block Shen Fengxing's path, their eyes fixed resolutely on Lu Yuan, as if ready to die.

"Not going to talk? Humph."

Lu Yuan gave a soft hum, lowering his voice slightly.

"If you don't tell me, I'll chop that bastard Shen Fengxing into seventeen or eighteen pieces right now."

"No!"

The four men looked alarmed, their brows furrowed, before they finally spoke.

"We are assassins raised by our master from a young age."

"Our lives are dedicated to our master."

"We must do whatever our master tells us to do."

"If our master dies, we will be the first to die!"

"so."

Hearing what the four people said, Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

These weren't the ordinary subordinates he had recruited; they were actually assassins.

That makes sense. Shen Fengxing is trying to kill this time, but who is the "son-in-law of the Shen family"? How could ordinary subordinates trust him?

After understanding, Lu Yuan felt a pang of envy. It's good to be born into a wealthy family; they even have assassins.

Unlike him, who came from humble beginnings, he had to risk his life for even the smallest things.

"Since that's the case..."

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he was about to kill these four people first.

But the next moment, Lu Yuan suddenly frowned, and his sword paused.

After a moment's hesitation, he suddenly grinned with a wicked grin, swung his arm, and a gust of wind swept the four people away, sending them flying over a hundred meters away.

"I'll make sure you die before him."

It was only a hundred meters or so, but the four people were already seriously injured and had difficulty standing up. It would take them some time to crawl over.

Lu Yuan looked at Shen Fengxing, who was now without any guards, and slowly raised the battle sword in his hand.

"Stretch your neck."

"No! You can't kill me!"

Shen Fengxing's eyes widened, his gaze filled with terror, yet his expression also revealed a fierce edge.

"I am a member of the Shen family. My father is a Grandmaster-level expert. If you kill me, he will never let you go!"

"Your father? Haha, you mean my father-in-law?"

Lu Yuan smiled, his voice somber.

"He doesn't only have you as his son, and someone as useless as you probably wouldn't even look at him. By then you'll be dead anyway, killing me won't make a difference, and we'll only lose a promising son-in-law. Why bother?"

"you……"

Shen Fengxing's eyes widened, his gaze filled with fear.

Ok?

Lu Yuan was taken aback. Had he guessed right?

He was just saying it casually to tease Shen Fengxing, but judging from Shen Fengxing's expression, it was as if he had been caught red-handed.

Does Shen Fuyue really not care about his son? Or is the Shen family really that heartless?

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan gripped his sword tighter, wondering if he should take a gamble.

But the next moment, Lu Yuan relaxed his hand again.

He can't afford to gamble.

"Besides, in this wilderness, who can know that I killed you? You won't even leave a body, and we won't even be able to confirm that you're dead. Third Master Shen, let's go."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan raised the battle sword in his hand.

"No! No! Don't kill me..."

As Shen Fengxing cried out, he tried to crawl backward, revealing a puddle of water between his legs.

Ha, the dignified Third Master of the Shen family is actually scared to death at this moment.

Lu Yuan held up the knife, watching Shen Fengxing crawl in terror. Two seconds later, he glanced into the distance.

"Spare his life!"

With a loud shout, a black dot shot out.

Clang!

With a sharp sound, Lu Yuan's sword was deflected slightly.

It took me ten kilometers to realize that this guy might have done it on purpose.

Lu Yuan glanced at Gu Qingsong rushing towards him and snorted inwardly.

Then, he feigned surprise and raised his knife to strike Shen Fengxing on the ground.

Pa~!

At this moment, Gu Qingsong finally arrived and grabbed Lu Yuan's wrist.

"Fourth son-in-law! No way!"

"Gu Qingsong? Gu Qingsong! Help me! He's trying to kill me!"

Upon seeing Gu Qingsong suddenly appear, Shen Fengxing cried out in a mixture of joy and relief, as if grasping at a lifeline.

Gu Qingsong looked at Lu Yuan with a serious expression.

"We're all members of the Shen family; we mustn't kill each other!"

"That bastard Shen Fengxing wanted to kill me!"

Lu Yuan looked furious and made a move to kill again.

"No way! I'm going to chop him up today, and nobody's going to stop me!"

"Fourth son-in-law! Calm down!"

Gu Qingsong held Lu Yuan's wrist firmly and spoke again.

"The old man already knows what happened here. If you insist on taking action, for the sake of the Shen family's 'harmony,' he can't pretend he didn't see it!"

"..."

Lu Yuan frowned, and after a moment, slowly put down the knife.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly, realizing how close he was to it. It was such a pity.

Just now, when Lu Yuan was about to kill Shen Fengxing, the space probe suddenly detected Gu Qingsong.

Gu Qingsong is Shen Fuyue's adopted son and trusted confidant, even closer than his own son. There are even rumors that Gu Qingsong is Shen Fuyue's illegitimate son, otherwise why would he entrust the Poshan Team to him?

When Gu Qingsong appeared, Lu Yuan knew that Shen Fuyue already knew everything about this place.

He could kill Shen Fuyue before Gu Qingsong arrived.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

He dared not gamble on whether Shen Fuyue was truly that ruthless.

No matter what, Shen Fengxing is still his own son.

If Lu Yuan wins the bet, he can kill Shen Fengxing without any consequences for himself.

But if he loses the bet, and Shen Fuyue seeks revenge for killing his son, he is a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm. How will Lu Yuan deal with that? Wouldn't he be doomed?

Killing Shen Fengxing would bring such great risks to oneself; it doesn't seem worth it at all.

So at the last moment, Lu Yuan simply held up his battle sword, but never brought it down, until Gu Qingsong appeared.

Imagine, if Lu Yuan hadn't intentionally spared Shen Fengxing's life, Gu Qingsong, though strong, had only just advanced to the level of a six-star warrior and might not have been able to stop Lu Yuan.

"Gu Qingsong! Take me away from here immediately!"

Seeing Lu Yuan let go, Shen Fengxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his life was not yet saved. Fearing that Lu Yuan might go back on his word, he quickly shouted to Gu Qingsong.

Gu Qingsong also had this concern. In order to save time, he was alone at the moment, and the Poshan team was still behind him. He was not confident that he could stop Lu Yuan.

After all, Shen Fengxing and his four henchmen were defeated and severely injured by Lu Yuan in such a short time, while Lu Yuan was completely unharmed!

Although he was only a junior general, his combat power was terrifying.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Gu Qingsong reached out and lifted Shen Fengxing, Lu Yuan suddenly gave a soft shout.

Both Gu Qingsong and Shen Fengxing, who was being carried, tensed up instantly.
