"What does 'holding a grand banquet' mean?" Han Rui asked, like a curious child with a million questions.
Zhang Wei's expression was a bit unpleasant. "A 'big feast' is a banquet held in the countryside, where people eat a big meal. It is usually held for weddings, funerals, or other important occasions, and it mainly consists of meat and vegetables."
"Meat and vegetables... could it be us?" Han Rui's hair stood on end instantly.
Do these people... want to eat them?
Seeing Han Rui's pale face, Zhang Xiaojuan smiled and teased her, "It's okay, you have delicate skin, you can probably get a spot as a cold dish."
At this moment, the village chief outside the window had already grabbed the little mud figure, his swollen old face squinting at Han Rui, "Don't worry, little darling, how could I bear to kill someone as beautiful as you? Uncle will take good care of you."
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, a terrified male voice suddenly rang out from afar, "Village Chief! Something terrible has happened! Our vegetable cellar and granary are on fire!"
"Where's the madman! Go find him quickly! He has water-based superpowers!" The village chief's face turned red with anxiety.
The granary and cellar were their means of survival in the apocalypse. If the fire burned everything down, everyone would starve to death!
"I can't find him, I don't know where he went!" the man replied breathlessly.
Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, the village chief left two people to guard the gate and led the rest of the people to rush into the fire.
No sooner had the villagers left than a figure lurking in the shadows suddenly sprang out, still draped in that dirty floral bed sheet.
"Crazy man, where have you been? The village chief told you to go put out the fire!"
The gatekeeper, cursing and swearing, came up and tore at the ear of the man who had been tearing the bed sheet.
The next second, the flowery bed sheet pulled out a wooden stick from behind her back and knocked both guards unconscious with one blow.
Dragging the gatekeeper aside, the woman in the flowered bed sheet took out her key and opened the door. "You should leave now, they'll be back soon."
His pronunciation is clear and his voice is crisp, making him sound very organized.
"Are you faking your madness?" Zhang Wei stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
"Stop talking about that. You should take the path behind the village. There are guards on the main road at the village entrance."
No sooner had the flowery bed sheet finished speaking than the village chief returned with a group of menacing people.
"Well, Xu Guang! I felt something was off as soon as I stepped out the door! You really are a traitor!"
The village chief raised his hand and slapped Xu Guang across the face, knocking him to the ground.
Xu Hao straddled Xu Guang and slapped him hard several times with both hands, yelling, "Are you even from Xu Family Village? You set fire to the village's granary for a few bitches! I'll fucking beat you to death!"
During the struggle, the floral bed sheet covering Xu Guang was ripped off.
He had a refined, scholarly face, but unfortunately, his right eye was severely damaged, covered with a grotesque scar that made it look somewhat frightening.
"Staring at me? You're not happy about it? So what if I slept with your girlfriend? Who told you to be such an idiot and bring her back to the village?" Xu Hao slapped Xu Hao again triumphantly. "I've disliked you for a long time. So what if you're good at studying? You're just a bookworm!"
"Beasts! You are all beasts! If I had known that the village was full of evil spirits, I would never have brought Xiaoxiao back!" Xu Guang roared, trying to resist but was pinned down by Xu Hao.
"You used to be good at studying, which was somewhat useful, but what's the use of being good at studying now? My fists are harder than yours!"
Just as Xu Hao raised his fist to smash Xu Guang's face, he suddenly felt a chill on his wrist.
He instinctively looked up and immediately let out a terrified scream.
His raised right arm was severed at the wrist, and a jet of blood spurted out and splashed a meter away on the floor!
Lu Sheng was too lazy to waste a word on this scum. With a flash of his gleaming blade, Xu Hao's fat head rolled to the ground and landed right at the village chief's feet.
Such disgusting scum shouldn't live in this world.
[Congratulations, host, you have gained 2 Xu Family Village Activity Points.]
The head slammed into the ground with a thud, like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of everyone from Xujia Village present.
The village chief's face turned ashen, and a hint of terror flashed in his eyes.
"You... how can you still use your skills normally!"
The reason why Xu Family Village dares to be so arrogant is because the village chief's special ability is suppression.
As long as one enters the area of Xu Family Village, the abilities of all superhumans will be suppressed, but the villagers of Xu Family Village are not subject to this restriction.
So the people of Xujia Village went so far as to turn the village into a hub for murder and robbery, and everyone who passed through this road became a target for Xujia Village.
They dared to openly confront Lu Sheng and the others because they were certain that Lu Sheng and her group had no ability to resist and could only be slaughtered by them within the village.
Zhang Xiaojuan's clay figure was easily captured by the village chief because it was affected by the suppression.
"Who...who exactly are you?!"
The village chief took a few steps back warily and questioned Lu Sheng sternly.
No matter what, Xu Hao is a fifth-level strength-type ability user, and he is considered a tyrannical menace in Xu Family Village.
But in less than a second, this woman chopped off his head...
Lu Sheng smiled, her cold and beautiful features revealing a strange charm, "Naturally, I'm here to take your dog's life."
Her slender, long fingers flicked upwards slightly, and a transparent, invisible blade of energy sliced directly across the village chief's neck.
The sixth-tier metal-type ability user's skin, as hard as iron, was as smooth as silken tofu under the air blade, and the throat was cut open with a light stroke.
The village chief stared wide-eyed in horror, clutching his neck with both hands in an attempt to slow the loss of life.
Blood seeped through his fingers, staining his shirt a glaring red.
Bang.
The old man, burdened with a heavy burden of sins, collapsed to the ground.
The remaining villagers stared blankly at the two corpses that had suddenly appeared on the ground, their legs trembling like leaves, too terrified to utter a sound.
"We...we have no grudge against you. It was those two who wanted to kill you. It has nothing to do with us!"
"You can leave now! Take whatever you want from the village! Let's keep to ourselves! Okay?"
In response to them was Lu Sheng's sweet, upturned lips.
That smile instantly plunged everyone present into despair, sending a chill down their spines.
“We were wrong! We didn’t mean to buy people from human traffickers! But we’re just too poor here! No woman is willing to marry us! Our son is already so old, we can’t just watch him stay single for the rest of his life!”
Several people knelt down with a thud and kowtowed several times to Lu Sheng.
"We're from the countryside, we don't know anything about the law! Please, don't hold a grudge against us, let us go!"
Lu Sheng snapped his fingers. "Didn't you say you could take whatever you wanted?"
"Then take your lives."
