Chapter 102: Chaos
Xiaotian had never expected Lu Qing's sudden knife attack.
He had never even thought that Lu Qing would suddenly kill him here.
But the fierce murderous intent carried by Lu Qing's knife was so real.
Xiaotian had no doubt that if he didn't dodge, Lu Qing would really chop him in half with one knife!
The image of Lu Qing killing people in Happy Village flashed through his mind involuntarily.
A strong fear instantly spread throughout Xiaotian's body.
Between life and death, he had no time to think about anything else and could only rely on instinct and desperately hide backwards.
At this moment, he subconsciously burst out all his strength.
He poured all his mind and willpower into his legs, hoping to use more strength to make himself faster and avoid Lu Qing's fatal blow.
At this moment of great concentration, Xiaotian seemed to feel that there was an extra force in his body that he could drive.
Without a second thought, he instilled it into his legs.
boom!
Just like that, after Xiaotian tried his best, he finally retreated before Lu Qing's sword reached him, knocked down the fence not far behind him, and rolled onto the vegetable field.
Lu Qing's knife attack failed, but he did not pursue him. Instead, he retracted the knife and looked at Xiaotian who was lying on the ground with a smile.
"It's OK, the reaction is not bad."
"Mr. Lu, why is this happening? I wonder how I have offended you?"
Lying on the ground, Xiaotian asked in panic.
He really couldn't understand why Lu Qing would suddenly attack him out of the blue.
"You haven't offended me. Feel the energy and blood in your body now. Is there any difference from before?" Lu Qing said with a smile.
"The blood in the body?"
Xiaotian was stunned and quickly sensed his body.
Xiaotian had used up all his strength in that outburst just now. Now, he felt weak all over, his leg muscles were strained and sore.
However, Xiaotian didn't care about these at this time, because he found that the Qi and blood in his body were very active at this time. More importantly, he could control the Qi and blood freely, and could mobilize and connect them at will, and gather and disperse them as he wished.
At this moment, Xiaotian had no idea what was going on.
He finally comprehended the secret of the connection between Qi and blood, and stepped into the Qi and blood realm he had long dreamed of!
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lu!"
Xiaotian got up and kowtowed to Lu Qing.
God knows how much effort he has put in over the past few years to enter the Qi and Blood Realm.
However, for some reason, he always failed to take that crucial step.
Even just now, after taking that blood-replenishing and energy-boosting pill, he thought he would be able to break through immediately.
However, he never expected that more than half of the drug's effect had been consumed, and he still couldn't find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Xiaotian was already feeling a little hopeless, but he didn't expect to be chopped into the Qi and Blood realm by Lu Qing's sword.
By now, he understood that the murderous intent in Lu Qing's sword was not meant to kill him, but was deliberately released in order to force out his potential.
Otherwise, with Lu Qing's martial arts strength, if he wanted to kill him, there would be no need to show his murderous intent in such a high-profile manner. He could probably kill him with just a casual blow of the sword.
So at this moment, Xiaotian's heart was full of gratitude towards Lu Qing.
"Okay, there's no need to do this. God rewards hard work. If you hadn't practiced your basics well and were only a step away from the Qi and Blood realm, this sword of mine would not be able to help you break through." Lu Qing said with a smile.
Xiaotian kowtowed three times before he got up.
"No matter what, Mr. Lu, you are my benefactor. I will never forget your great kindness in my life." Xiaotian said very solemnly.
Lu Qing smiled and shook his head, about to speak.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out: "That little bastard is making trouble. He tore down my fence and trampled my vegetable garden like this?!"
Lu Qing was stunned, and saw the second son of Uncle Zhang next door, looking at his own vegetable garden with eyes wide open.
It turned out that in order to avoid Lu Qing's knife, Xiaotian dodged desperately and broke the fence of his vegetable garden and crushed two vegetable plots.
Now the vegetables in the two vegetable plots are all rotten.
Xiaotian's face turned red all of a sudden, and he was very embarrassed.
"Uncle Zhang, it's me."
Seeing this, Lu Qing could only shout.
"Ah Qing, did you plant this vegetable garden?"
Uncle Zhang, who was angry, was stunned when he saw Lu Qing.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang. I was sparring with my friend just now and accidentally damaged your vegetable garden. I'll help you fix it later." Lu Qing said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay. I thought it was some troublemaker who did it. Since it's Ah Qing, then it's okay. I'll take care of it later. No need to trouble you." Uncle Zhang waved his hand, his anger gone.
At the same time, he recognized Xiaotian.
After all, he often went to the market to buy things, so he naturally knew Xiaotian, who was responsible for maintaining order at the market and was Ma Ye's right-hand man.
I saw that Xiaotian's clothes were yellow and green, stained with dirt and vegetable juice, and he looked quite disheveled.
Looking at Lu Qing's body, which was spotless, he couldn't help but smack his lips.
I thought this was probably not a competition, but a one-sided abuse.
Xiaotian blushed, took out a purse from his arms, poured out a piece of silver, and walked up to Uncle Zhang and stuffed it into his hand.
"Uncle, I damaged the vegetable garden and the fence. This silver is to compensate you."
Then, he bowed to Lu Qing and said, "Young Master Lu, I'm going back to the market first. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to help you!"
After saying that, he blushed and walked out of the village.
Uncle Zhang saw the silver in his hand, which weighed half a tael, and immediately shouted, "Hey, little brother, it's just two vegetable plots, it won't cost so much!"
However, the more he shouted, the faster Xiaotian walked, without even looking back.
Lu Qing found it funny and said, "Uncle Zhang, just accept it. He is compensating you anyway."
Xiaotian is Magu's right-hand man, and now he is in charge of Daji, so he naturally has no shortage of money.
Just half a tael of silver is nothing to him.
"Well, it doesn't cost so much. It's just a small thing. I can just repair the fence and plant some vegetable seeds. There's no need to spend so much money." Uncle Zhang still felt something was wrong.
Lu Qing didn't care about this. After chatting with Uncle Zhang for a few words, he turned and walked into the yard.
After entering the house, Lu Qing's expression became calm.
He still took the news Xiaotian brought very seriously.
The county is now in turmoil, with a large number of martial arts masters gathering here. I'm afraid that a war will break out soon.
The county town is quite far away from Jiuli Village. In theory, even if there is a big fight over there, it will not affect here.
But in anything, we should never be afraid of a thousand things, but be prepared for the worst.
If the county government were to collapse and warriors were to roam everywhere, who knows what would happen.
So we still can't let our guard down.
"I hope the Wei family can stabilize the situation."
"By the way, is the innate ancestor of the Wei family really dead?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but think.
According to what Ma Gu said in the letter, the mysterious group of people openly shouted in the county that the Wei family's Xiantian ancestor had died, so this should be true.
But he always felt that something was wrong.
First of all, how did the Wei family’s Xiantian ancestor die?
If he died in a vendetta, why didn't an existence that could kill a powerful person in the innate realm just take action and destroy the Wei family?
If he died in an accident, how did that group of mysterious people know?
And judging from the situation in the county, the death of the Wei family's Xiantian ancestor seemed to be known to everyone, which in itself was weird.
According to what the master said, the strong ones in the innate realm have always been like a dragon that is hard to find and difficult to trace.
Now that a person in the Xiantian realm has died, it has caused a lot of commotion, which in itself is abnormal.
Lu Qing always felt that there was a big hand behind the scenes, controlling this storm and plotting something.
"Could it be that the Wei family really has some treasure that is worth that person spending so much effort to plan?"
"Why doesn't he just take action and snatch it? Is he afraid, or is he testing something?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but think back to when he heard Ma Gu say that although the Wei family was a wealthy family, the head of the family had always stayed in the old house in the county town.
It was once speculated that the Wei family had a secret.
Now it seems that he was right.
I just don't know if the current Wei family can still keep this secret.
Unfortunately, he had too little information and couldn't analyze anything.
"Forget it. Even if there is really some big shot plotting something, it's not something I can get involved in right now."
Lu Qing thought about it for a while, but felt that he had no clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He is just a small Qi and Blood Realm warrior now. Just among the warriors gathered in the county, there is no telling how many of them can crush him.
Even if you know the inside story, what can you do?
It's better to just watch the show and pray for the Wei family.
"However, Master still needs to be informed of this matter. The situation in the city is so complicated right now. It would be better for him not to go into the city recently."
Although Master is now half a step into the innate realm, what is happening in the city is most likely a game between people in the innate realm.
Lu Qing still didn't want his old man to be involved in such a turmoil.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing closed the door of his house and went to the courtyard halfway up the mountain.
As soon as he reached the courtyard halfway up the mountain, he heard Xiaoyan's laughter from afar.
When I walked into the yard, I saw Master, Xiaoyan and Xiaoli sitting at the stone table drinking tea and chatting.
Of course, the master was drinking tea, while Xiaoyan and Xiaoli were having snacks.
"elder brother!"
Xiaoyan was facing the gate of the yard. When she saw Lu Qing, she immediately shouted.
"Yeah." Lu Qing walked over.
The old doctor turned around and saw Lu Qing coming over, with surprise in his eyes.
"Breakthrough?"
"Yes, I just broke through not long ago."
Lu Qing knew that he could not hide his martial arts level from his master who was about to cultivate the power of the soul.
"Your cultivation speed is really..."
The old doctor was immediately amazed.
The speed at which this disciple of mine cultivates is simply too fast.
It hasn't been long since he became his disciple, and now he has already reached perfection in the Qi and Blood realm.
Even when he was traveling in the provincial capital, he had never heard of any martial arts genius with the speed of cultivation as Lu Qing.
"It's just that my master taught me well." Lu Qing said modestly out of habit.
"Don't flatter me." The old doctor said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I didn't do anything to help you except teach you a set of health-preserving boxing and refine some pills."
"If it weren't for these things given by Master, I wouldn't be where I am today."
The old doctor shook his head helplessly.
This disciple of mine is good in every way except that he is too humble.
For some reason, no matter how others praised him, he never felt that he was a genius in cultivation.
This was not an act, the old doctor could see that.
Lu Qing really never considered himself a martial arts genius. No matter how fast he progressed in martial arts, he never seemed to be complacent.
"Master, Master Ma just sent his men to deliver a letter. There are some things in it. I think it is necessary to let you know."
At this time, Lu Qing said.
"Oh, what is it?"
The old doctor saw that Lu Qing's face looked a little serious, and he couldn't help but straighten his expression.
He knew that his disciple had some friendship with the Ma Gu in Daji.
Could it be that he encountered some difficulties and needed Lu Qing's help?
"It's all explained in the letter, please have a look, Master."
Lu Qing took out the letter that Xiaotian sent.
The old doctor took the letter, opened it and read it. As he read on, his expression gradually became serious.
"I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in the city just a few days later."
After reading the letter, the old doctor showed a sigh on his face.
"Master, the city is full of mixed people now and the situation is difficult to discern. You should not go into the city recently." Lu Qing said.
He knew that his master would go to the city from time to time to deliver medicinal herbs, but given the current situation in the county, he really didn't want his master to go there.
"That's fine. I just don't feel like moving around lately. Since the city is so troublesome, I won't go."
The old doctor thought about it and nodded.
Although he is a kind-hearted doctor, he is not pedantic.
Knowing that the city has become a powder keg, I naturally wouldn't go there.
Seeing that his master agreed, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that his master was too kind and wanted to save the wounded and dying, which would be difficult to deal with.
Now it seems that Master is still very clear about these things.
"However, Ah Qing, you have to be careful. I read in the letter that the Black Wolf Gang seems to be making a move again. You have offended them before, and you might be retaliated against." The old doctor warned.
"I'll keep an eye on it, Master."
In the following days, Lu Qing continued to live a regular life at the same pace as before.
I just need to be more careful when I go out.
Occasionally he would go to the market to ask Xiaotian for information.
He did get a lot of news about the city from Xiaotian.
For example, as more and more warriors gathered in the city, the situation in the county also changed dramatically.
After all, the county town is so small, and with so many warriors pouring in all at once, it would naturally lead to conflicts.
It is often seen that some warriors start fighting in the streets over a disagreement, and blood splatters on the streets.
Some warriors, in order to enjoy themselves, began to conquer local forces for their own enjoyment.
Some forces disobeyed and were destroyed immediately, while some forces obeyed and were able to get close to powerful people, and their strength expanded rapidly, becoming one of the most powerful forces in the county.
Among them, the Black Wolf Gang is a typical example.
Black Wolf Gang's leader, Black Wolf, somehow managed to convince several powerful warriors to join the gang.
Among those warriors, there are even some powerful ones at the Inner Viscera Realm level.
This makes the Black Wolf Gang one of the largest forces in the city, and their arrogance is extremely high.
In a word, the current situation in the city is a mess, and people are dying every day.
If the county magistrate had not issued a statement prohibiting warriors from harassing civilians, the county would have been in chaos long ago.
The County Mansion represents the face of the royal capital, and the warriors dare not openly disobey its prohibitions.
But even so, many civilians in the city fled the city to avoid the limelight temporarily, planning to go back after the storm passed.
The city was in such chaos, but to Lu Qing's surprise, the Wei Mansion never collapsed.
Those arrogant warriors saw the commotion in the city but never attacked the Wei residence.
Both sides seemed to be maintaining some kind of tacit understanding, waiting for something.
This made Lu Qing smell something unusual.
