In just a few dozen breaths, the Han family lost six Bone Forging experts and one Organ Refining expert.
This was an outcome the Han family never anticipated when they planned to deal with Lu Tao.
He's only a seventeen-year-old boy, and his cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Internal Organ Refinement realm. How could he be so strong?
Han Chengyun felt immense regret, but unfortunately, it was too late to undo the damage.
Han Chengyun then angrily said, "You're harassing me from the sidelines, I'll kill him."
Han Chengyun didn't want the Han family to suffer even greater losses, so he chose to lead the attack while the other two assisted in harassing Lu Tao, preventing him from escaping and waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
But why would Lu Tao give the three of them such an opportunity?
Lu Tao immediately pursued another early-stage organ refinement cultivator, looking determined to kill him, which terrified the man so much that he could only flee frantically.
This gave Lu Tao an opportunity. He took the chance to break free from the encirclement of the three men, turned around, and charged towards Cai Zhiyong and his two companions.
Dozens of meters away, Cai Zhiyong, Cai Xuan, and Han Guanyu, who had already turned pale and were filled with fear, were horrified when they saw Lu Tao rushing towards them. They decisively chose to run away.
But……
call out.
Three soft whooshing sounds rang out. Under Lu Tao's Heavenly Eye, he seized the opportunity and threw out three chopsticks.
The three of them were at most at the late stage of Blood Refinement, so how could they withstand the killing move of someone at the Organ Refinement stage? The chopsticks pierced through their bodies in an instant.
Bang……
The three fleeing figures suddenly fell to the ground, rolling several times before finally stopping.
Lu Tao didn't care whether the three were dead or alive. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with another Bone Forging Realm cultivator from the Han family who was watching from the sidelines and killed him with a single strike.
Han Cheng said urgently, "Everyone else, leave! Get out of here!"
He was furious. Originally, they were there to hunt down Lu Tao, but the others had become a burden, like lambs to the slaughter, powerless against Lu Tao.
Even if one has reached the pinnacle of bone forging, it can still be resolved with a single strike.
At this moment, Lu Tao had already caught up with another person in the same direction.
"Get out of the way."
The man's face was filled with fear. In his panic, he pushed through the crowd, trying to escape, but unexpectedly...
As he turned around in alarm to look at Lu Tao who was chasing him, he was suddenly tripped and his body crashed uncontrollably into the door of a shop next to him.
Lu Tao seized the opportunity to catch up and finished him off with another slash.
"Who is it that dares to plot against someone from my Han family?"
Han Chengyun was shocked and furious. He never expected that someone would kick him when he was down.
Suddenly, Han Chengyun realized something and quickly glanced at the crowd around him. He noticed that many people looked at his Han family disciples with excitement and anticipation, and even their eyes were filled with a hint of bloodlust.
This discovery sent shivers down Han Chengyun's spine.
Unbeknownst to them, the Han family had offended so many people, or rather, the Han family had been hated by so many people.
In the past, the Han family used any means necessary to achieve their goals, and today it seems that the time for them to suffer the consequences.
Just as Han Chengyun was about to say something to calm the crowd, Lu Tao shouted, "Anyone who can help me kill the rest of the Han family will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver for an early-stage Bone Forging cultivator, 200,000 for a mid-stage cultivator, and so on..."
Splash...
Before Lu Tao could finish speaking, the crowd stirred, their eyes fixed coldly on the other members of the Han family, as if they saw not people, but piles of silver.
I'm really tempted.
"You bastard, how dare you!"
Han Chengyun roared, interrupting Lu Tao's voice. Then, with bloodshot eyes, he looked at the crowd and said in an icy tone, "Today, if anyone dares to touch a hair on the head of my Han family, I, Han Chengyun, will make sure their entire family is wiped out."
It has to be said that the Han family still holds some influence in Mufeng City. As soon as Han Chengyun said this, many people who were eager to make a move immediately lost their ambition.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Tao continued to chase after the other person, but was stopped by Han Chengren, who was in the mid-stage of the Internal Organ Refinement realm.
"Since you're courting death, I'll kill you first."
Lu Tao's expression turned cold. He had originally planned to kill all those in the Bone Forging Realm first, and then deal with those in the Organ Refining Realm. But this person was courting death, so Lu Tao would grant his wish.
laugh!
Lu Tao charged madly at Han Chengren, fighting with his life on the line.
As the power of his internal bones circulated and flowed into the golden silk armor, a protective shield immediately appeared on Lu Tao's body, enveloping his entire body.
Lu Tao attacked Han Chengren with one strike after another, abandoning all defense and focusing solely on fighting.
Damn it!
Han Chengren was filled with resentment. He didn't want to die and was unwilling to trade his life with Lu Tao. Especially after learning that Lu Tao had armor, he was even less willing to trade injuries with Lu Tao. He could only defend desperately and not give Lu Tao any chance to kill him.
However, Lu Tao's swordsmanship was too unpredictable.
Sometimes sharp, sometimes gentle...
The previous slash had come down with tremendous force, and just as he was about to block it, the blade suddenly changed direction, becoming erratic. Then, the blade of the long sword gently touched his iron hammer.
With a gentle twist of his longsword around the iron hammer, a powerful pulling force emanated from the hammer, making him seem as if he were about to crash into Lu Tao.
Han Chengren was terrified and tried desperately to resist the pulling force, but it was of little use.
After weighing the pros and cons, Han Chengren had no choice but to let go and abandon the iron hammer that had been with him for many years.
The hammer vanished into thin air the moment it left their hands.
It was obvious that Lu Tao had put it away.
"Lu Tao, stop!"
Seeing that Han Chengren had lost his hammer and his fighting strength was greatly reduced, and that he had no means of defense, making him no match for Lu Tao, Han Chengyun became anxious and shouted angrily. He even directly stabbed Lu Tao in the back with his sword from a distance.
Lu Tao ignored this.
The next moment, Lu Tao rushed forward without stopping and slashed at Han Chengren with his sword.
Han Chengren circulated the power of the five elements within his body, retreating while simultaneously striking Lu Tao's blade with his fist from the side, attempting to neutralize Lu Tao's attack.
However, Lu Tao merely turned the blade, positioning it against Han Chengren's fist, forcing Han Chengren to instinctively pull back his fist.
Just as he withdrew his fist, Lu Tao's blade spun again, the tip barely grazing Han Chengren's left arm as he turned to the side, unable to dodge in time.
His entire left arm was slashed open, and blood flowed freely.
"ah……"
Han Chengren couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Lu Tao had no time to listen to his screams. Taking advantage of the moment he was injured, he sprang up and thrust his left knee into his chest.
With nowhere to dodge, Han Chengren could only use his movement skills to retreat frantically, while simultaneously slamming his right fist hard towards Lu Tao's knee.
With a bang.
The fist collided with the knee, and Han Chengren's entire right arm exploded, sending bone fragments flying everywhere.
With his hands destroyed, Han Chengren was powerless to resist. He watched in horror as Lu Tao punched him in the chest and had no choice but to retreat desperately.
But his speed was already slower than Lu Tao's, let alone when he was retreating.
puff……
That punch landed squarely.
Han Chengren opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen.
Before he could react, Lu Tao had already raised his long knife and plunged it into his heart.
"Don't kill me!"
Han Chengren's face was filled with despair.
Han Chengyun also shouted frantically, "Lu Tao, show mercy! We have no debt of gratitude between us..."
puff……
Han Chengyun wanted to say that there was no grudge between them, but before he could finish saying the word "grudge," Lu Tao's long knife plunged into Han Chengren's chest.
The already broken heart was rendered lifeless by this last blow.
After killing Han Chengren, Lu Tao drew his sword without hesitation and turned to block Han Chengyun's sword strike.
Han Chengyun was stunned when he saw Lu Tao stab his own brother to death.
The crowd on the street erupted in excitement.
"He killed Han Chengren despite being of a higher level. That's incredible."
"Have you noticed that his swordsmanship is strange? It seems to combine many different sword techniques."
"Not surprising at all. Do you know who he is? He's the one who came to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to buy goods a few days ago."
"It's him? The boy you were talking about who created his own martial arts techniques in his teens?"
...
"Holy crap, he actually succeeded? I thought you guys were joking."
"It's only been a few days, and not only did he successfully create his own cultivation technique, but he also killed a mid-stage Refinement of the Internal Organs cultivator?"
"That's it? That's way too easy."
"Is this even human? It's practically a monster."
...
"Hehe, didn't you guys notice that his movement technique is also quite strange?"
"Yes, the elegance in battle, the swiftness in pursuit, the speed in dodging attacks... all of these have been integrated into one."
"That's incredible."
A few days ago, news spread throughout Mufeng City that a young man had come to the martial arts pavilion to purchase goods and was going to create his own martial arts techniques. Many people thought it was a joke, but they never expected to see it with their own eyes.
This made everyone feel like it was a fairy tale.
