Ming Dynasty: I am truly not the Emperor of Longevity

Did these three beggars really intend to stay in this dilapidated temple?

This dilapidated temple is way too far from any inhabited area!

The nearest official road is also more than twenty miles away.

Even if you are very familiar with the terrain, hiking on mountain roads will take at least three hours.

If these three beggars really lived in this dilapidated temple, even if they walked very fast, it would take them at least three or four hours one way to go out begging, and seven or eight hours round trip.

The commute is just too far.

These three beggars should never have been in this dilapidated temple!

Lu Chen immediately activated his mental power, carefully scanning the twelve or thirteen-year-old beggar who was kneeling at the feet of the burly man, preparing to pick up the loose silver coins.

Sure enough, inside the tattered boot that the little beggar had picked up from somewhere, there was a sharp dagger!

This chance encounter in the dilapidated temple was a setup from beginning to end!

A deadly trap set for the man and woman!

The two constables and the three beggars in the dilapidated temple were in cahoots.

The constables are in the open, drawing the other side's attention, but the beggar is the real killer move!

These two constables are most likely imposters!

Lu Chen believed that even without the rain, this group would have found a way to get the man and woman into the dilapidated temple.

The heavy rain was merely a coincidence, making everyone's visit to this dilapidated temple seem more reasonable.

However, it was precisely because of this rain that he, an outsider who was originally completely unrelated to both of them, unexpectedly stumbled into this conspiracy!

Is it too late for me to back out now?

It's probably too late!

Lu Chen sighed inwardly.

I came here simply to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain and spend the night.

What grudges exist between these two groups, and what does it have to do with me?

At this point, the ambush was already imminent, and if I were to leave without a reason, it would be tantamount to telling them that I had noticed something was wrong with them.

The opponent had no choice but to launch a preemptive strike, attacking him at the same time the little beggar ambushed the burly man!

The man and woman were both skilled in martial arts, and since these five people had set up an ambush, they were clearly not benevolent people.

Once a fight breaks out, one cannot protect oneself without using telekinesis.

Subconsciously, Lu Chen didn't really take these people seriously.

This is a dilapidated temple in the middle of nowhere. If a fight really breaks out, as long as I cover the temple door, the only exit, within the range of my psychic attacks, I can ensure that no one escapes alive.

Once you get within a meter, these people's lives are entirely in your hands!

Beyond one meter, although the psychic power begins to weaken rapidly, it is not impossible to achieve a fatal blow!

The human body still has many very fragile organs!

Even the strength to lift just a single chopstick is enough to knock someone to the ground instantly.

In this environment where there's no need to worry about anyone revealing his superpowers, Lu Chen can instantly turn any area within three meters into his death zone if he so chooses!

Since it's too late to leave now, let's give these people a chance to choose between life and death!

If they are the legendary virtuous gentlemen who, even in a life-or-death struggle, would not want to harm the innocent, then I will let them go.

But if they're blind and insist on provoking the wrong people, then they have no one to blame but themselves!

"Thank you, officer."

The little beggar picked up the piece of silver from the ground, first kowtowed to the older constable, and then turned and bowed to the burly man.

"I thank you for your generous reward, sir."

As the little beggar stood up, he casually put the piece of silver into his boot.

The burly man seemed completely uninterested in the little beggar's gratitude, raising his right hand and waving it away to signal the other to leave.

At this moment, Lu Chen, who had been secretly observing the little beggar's movements with his telekinesis, clearly sensed that after the other's hand loosened its grip on the silver coins, it quickly grasped the dagger.

The next second, the little beggar suddenly stood up and crashed directly into the burly man's arms.

The sharp dagger pierced the other man's abdomen.

"Who dares to resort to such despicable means!"

The burly man reacted extremely quickly, almost simultaneously with the dagger entering the boy's abdomen, he slammed down with his palm, striking the little beggar squarely on the top of his head.

Then, with a sudden lift of his right leg, his knee slammed into the boy's chest, sending the little beggar flying.

Lu Chen, who had been using his mental power to sense the state of both sides, was surprised to find that the little beggar's entire skull had been shattered into dozens of pieces by that palm strike, and his brain had become a complete mess!

The chest, struck by the knee, had its sternum and all its ribs completely broken, without exception!

Even the heart and lungs were ruptured, causing even more damage than when he used his telekinesis to grab the heart of that guy in the black shop!

This burly man is a true martial arts master!

Whether before or after arriving in this ancient world,

This person can be considered the strongest master I have ever seen in my life!

At this moment, a dagger was deeply embedded in the burly man's lower abdomen, down to the hilt.

The little beggar's original target was the other person's liver.

If he had truly been stabbed in the liver, those palm strike and knee strike just now would have been the last two moves this martial arts master could use in his life.

The liver is the largest solid organ in the human body, with an extremely rich blood supply. Once stabbed by a dagger, it is like a water bag inside the body being punctured.

Blood will rush into the abdominal cavity, causing hemorrhagic shock in a very short time.

This process is extremely brief, measured in seconds!

He probably only had the first two or three seconds to mobilize all his bodily functions and launch a final counterattack.

Then, all your strength will quickly deplete, and in just half a minute, you will completely lose control of your limbs.

Death will officially arrive in a few minutes.

Even in later generations with advanced medical technology, the survival rate is still very low if immediate rescue is performed after the liver is stabbed.

In this ancient world, the survival rate is zero!

Lu Chen sensed with his telekinesis that at the last moment before the little beggar launched his sneak attack, the burly man twisted his waist.

Perhaps it was an instinctive dodge!

Although it was too late, the dagger still pierced the lower abdomen, but at least it avoided the liver.

Besides the liver, an organ that can render a person almost instantly incapacitated, the lower abdomen contains many other organs, such as the intestines, which occupy the largest space in the abdominal cavity.

If the intestines are injured, intestinal bacteria can enter the sterile abdominal cavity, causing infectious peritonitis. The wound will also continue to bleed internally, and if it is not treated in time, it can be life-threatening.

However, the speed at which a person loses their fighting ability is far slower than the speed at which the liver is damaged!
