Start your cultivation journey by allocating points to your Destiny.

Lu Chen seemed to be in a dead end.

He looked at the silver needles in Old Ning's hand.

That was what Elder Ning used to save people in the past.

It can also be used to kill people now.

Old Ning is not a combatant; he is better at treating and saving lives, but that doesn't mean he has no fighting ability at all.

He picked up the silver needle but did not approach Lu Chen; instead, he chose to throw it from a distance.

Lu Chen remained calm, his feet dangling in mid-air. He forcefully hooked them forward and then swung them down sharply, as if swinging on a swing, sending his feet swinging backward from a great height.

At the same time, he exerted force throughout his body, and his arms suddenly burst forth with tremendous power, causing his muscles to bulge.

Engage your waist and abdomen simultaneously.

Xiong Pi felt as if he were holding a real bear, its ferocious strength almost dislocating his arm.

He gritted his teeth, glanced at the wolfhound lying on the ground, its life hanging in the balance, and his eyes turned red: "Ah—!"

The wound on his waist burst open, and blood gushed out; his muscles felt like they were about to split open.

In a flash, Lu Chen suddenly exerted force with both arms, widening the gap, and then abruptly contracted it, causing his entire body to slide downwards.

With a twist in Elder Ning's hand, the silver needles shot towards Lu Chen's face like a rain of pear blossoms.

Lu Chen had managed to break free of some space. He took another deep breath, and a terrifying power suddenly erupted from his chest.

"open!"

He shouted suddenly, his feet already touching the ground.

"Bang!"

He elbowed both arms backward.

The silver needles had already pierced into the bear's body with a series of swift movements.

Several needles were also embedded in Lu Chen's body, but most of them were blocked by the breastplate on his chest.

Old Ning frowned, picked up the swordsman's sword from the ground, and thrust it at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen remained calm, grabbing the bear's arm behind him with one hand and performing an over-the-shoulder throw, hoisting the trembling bear onto his shoulder before quickly slamming it towards Elder Ning.

"Bang!"

Elder Ning hurriedly dodged the bear with his long sword, frantically trying to catch it.

The bear was already vomiting blood.

He had used all his strength to hug Lu Chen, and after Lu Chen pushed him away, both of his arms were completely dislocated, and the muscles in his chest and shoulders were also strained, making it difficult for him to exert any force.

All he could do was yell, "Get out of the way!"

Old Ning was too slow to react.

He had no idea how much force the bear that Lu Chen had thrown away carried, as it also knocked him away, and the longsword in his hand fell to the ground.

Lu Chen grabbed a chair and chased after it with lightning speed, smashing the chair hard onto the bear's back with a powerful blow.

The bear coughed up a mouthful of blood, its body trembled, and it shielded Elder Ning, shouting, "Run!"

A ferocious look appeared on Old Ning's face, which resembled that of an old farmer.

In Shahu County, there are only a few of them left. Even if they leave, they cannot escape the punishment of the Black Killing Pavilion. In the end, they will all die!

Lu Chen was extremely impressed to see that Xiong Pi still had the strength to speak.

He saw the longsword on the ground, took a step forward, bent down to pick it up, and then suddenly charged forward.

Blood trickled from the corner of Ning's mouth. Just as he pushed the bear away, he saw a glint of cold light.

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced straight into his heart.

The fierce light in Old Ning's eyes gradually disappeared. He looked down at the longsword, then at Lu Chen, his head lolled to the side, and he was completely dead.

He drew his sword, looked at the limp bear, and without listening to its nonsense, threw the sword.

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced the bear's chest, its tip emerging from its back.

Lu Chen stepped forward again, drew his sword, and swept the blade horizontally.

A line of blood appeared on the bear's neck.

"Sizzle!"

Fresh blood gushed from its throat like a small fountain.

At this point, all five were dead.

Lu Chen pulled out the silver needles from his body, took a breath, and walked into the house.

On the bed, a thin blanket was in disarray, and the person who had been on the bed was gone.

Lu Chen shook his head: "You're just causing me trouble!"

He walked toward the back door and, sure enough, saw Broken Knife crawling on the ground.

"You think you can escape? You assassins, haven't you ever thought that those who kill will always be killed? What are you running for? You're just trying to get reincarnated and enjoy your next life!"

As Lu Chen spoke, his hands never stopped moving.

"Pfft!"

With a sword wound in his back, Broken Blade revealed a look of despair.

Unexpectedly, he also wanted to trick Lu Chen into coming here so that he could gather everyone's strength to kill Lu Chen.

The different rhythms when they knocked on the door were their internal distress signals, indicating that enemies were coming.

Surprisingly, this person was completely unharmed!

The poison from the Ghost Hand has lost its effectiveness!

He gave a wry smile.

Lu Chen stepped forward and thrust his sword down.

Fresh blood flowed slowly, soaking the soil here.

[Under the host's influence, the fates of Broken Blade and the other six have changed.]

[Hit Value +2310]

[Luck value +22]

Lu Chen calculated that his life value had a surplus of 2360, but his luck value was still 19 short.

He glanced at the sky.

The sun has completely set.

The battle actually lasted only a few minutes and ended very quickly.

From the very beginning, he never intended to join the Black Killing Pavilion!

It's likely that the Broken Blade was the same way; he never intended for Lu Chen to join the Black Killing Pavilion from the very beginning.

Everyone's goal is to eliminate the other.

They were simply less capable than Lu Chen.

Let the looting begin!

Lu Chen first searched through the bodies of the six, no, seven people, and found five plaques, several hundred taels of silver, and some miscellaneous items.

The Ghost Hand had many poisonous substances on its body, some powder, some liquid, which Lu Chen couldn't understand, so he put it aside for the time being.

Old Ning only had a pipe on him, which was of little value, so he tossed it aside.

The others didn't have anything of value.

We entered the house.

There's a lot of stuff here, mostly intelligence.

Lu Chen glanced at it briefly, then simply found a burlap sack and took everything away.

"Wow, so many medical books and pharmacopoeias? Good stuff, take them! And a medicine box too, take that one as well."

They searched the entire house, inch by inch, leaving no place unchecked where items might be hidden.

By the time everything was finished, it was almost midnight.

The fact that such loud fighting sounds were heard here, yet no outsiders came to investigate, only shows that the Black Kill Pavilion chose a very good, secluded location.

After moving the bodies together and throwing them into the house, Lu Chen took the most important things and returned to his rented room first. He then made several trips to carry the other things back, like ants carrying grains of rice.

After finishing everything, he found Li Ziren's information.

"Although the Black Kill Pavilion is gone, the trial missions can still continue!"

He looked carefully and memorized where Li Ziren lived.

After taking off his clothes, Lu Chen glanced at the breastplates on his chest and back.

His back was dented from a bear punch, but he flattened it with another punch and put it back on.

After replenishing his supplies of throwing knives, iron pellets, and lime packets, Lu Chen picked up a new goose-feather knife and donned a black outfit.

At this time, the night was dark and the wind was high, perfect for murder and arson!

Lu Chen first went to the Black Kill Pavilion, stayed there for a while, and then turned around and left, heading straight for Li Ziren.
