Chapter 023 Killing
Lu Xuan, who had been watching them perform monkey tricks with a cold eye, frowned and asked, "You want my life?"
If they simply wanted to rob him out of ignorance, breaking a few of their bones would be enough, but if they even dared to take his life...that was another matter.
Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a pursed lip, "If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so."
He looked back at the city wall that was no longer visible.
It's not easy to cause a loss of life in the city, but it shouldn't matter in the wilderness, right?
Lu Xuan moved his fingers, and the aura on his body changed silently.
The gangster boss was anxious to get the silver. He hurled a few harsh words at Lu Xuan, but when he saw that he had no intention of giving in, he lost his patience and waved his hand fiercely at the others, saying, "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you. Come on, everyone!"
"Kill him—!"
About twenty people shouted and rushed towards Lu Xuan from all directions, waving their weapons with ferocious expressions.
The driver in the carriage covered his ears in horror when he heard the noise, but the panicked screams still quickly came in through his fingers.
"ah--"
"What is this! Help!"
“No! Aa ...
"monster--!"
If the driver had the courage to look outside at this moment, he might have seen a scene that he would never forget.
In the vast wilderness, countless thick giant vines were flying in the air, and the tips were tightly wrapped around the terrified robbers. The ubiquitous thorns on the vines pierced into their flesh, and the strong smell of blood quickly spread around.
More than a dozen of the twenty people were entangled, and the remaining few who escaped were scared out of their wits by the sudden appearance of vines. They tried to run away by rolling and crawling, but were grabbed by the neck by Lu Xuan who was moving through the sea of vines.
The robber's pupils constricted when he realized something, and he was about to beg for mercy, but Lu Xuan twisted his neck hard and broke it directly.
The other person died with an expression of disbelief still on his face.
The gangster boss who just avoided the vines happened to see this scene and was scared to death.
Just at this moment, Lu Xuan raised his head and met his eyes.
The gangster boss sensed a danger in Lu Xuan's deep eyes that was even more chilling than any vicious desperado he had ever seen.
Cold sweat continued to seep out of his forehead, and an unprecedented fear arose in his heart.
There was a voice in my head that kept warning me: Run, run! It will be too late if I don’t run now!
Instinct drove him to drop his weapon, turn around and run desperately.
Unfortunately, before he could run a few meters, he felt an indescribable pain in his neck, his consciousness quickly became blurred, and soon he completely lost consciousness.
Lu Xuan killed the remaining few people in the same way. One or two of them who attacked him by surprise were also pulled away by the vampire vine and their bones were shattered.
But in the blink of an eye, all those who came to cause trouble fell to the ground without exception, except for a few who were still breathing. No matter whether they were attacked by Lu Xuan himself or entangled by the vampire vines, they were all dead without exception.
The audience in the live broadcast room held their breath unconsciously, and the barrage of comments stopped for a long time before starting to scroll again.
[…I thought the streamer was only cruel to his prey, but I didn’t expect he was just as cruel to humans. I underestimated the streamer!]
[This group of people is too weak. The host can easily deal with them like cutting melons and vegetables.]
[It was really a killing spree!! So exciting!!]
[I admit the host is handsome, but wasn't the best performer of the match the mutant vampire vine? Easily taking out over a dozen people, so cool!]
I became a fan of this streamer because I heard he had a contract with a mutant plant. After waiting for so many days, the mutant vampire vine finally appeared again! This is amazing!
[Ahhh! I want a mutant plant this strong too!]
[First, you need wood-type abilities. Second, you need to be strong enough to avoid being strangled by the mutated vampire vines.]
Nowadays, there are more people in the live broadcast room than before, and of course there are some with weird ideas. When most people are excited and pumped up, these weird viewers will intersperse and say that the host is going a bit too far, and that he doesn't need to kill everyone.
【???】
[No way, no way, this group of people have already brought weapons, and someone is still acting like a saint? ?]
[If the anchor didn't have enough strength, he would be the one lying on the ground right now.]
Even if they didn't kill, who knows how many germs and bacteria were on those weapons? In ancient times, medical technology was backward, and a casualty of an injury could easily lead to a fever and infection, resulting in death.
The anchor has a system and doesn't need to worry about infection, but these people didn't know this. When they robbed her, they didn't intend to let her go. They deserved their current fate!
The interstellar world adheres to the rule that the strong are respected. It doesn't mean that the weak cannot live a good life, but I won't offend others unless they offend me. If you cause trouble first, don't blame others for resisting and taking your life.
Soon, a few weird audience members were forced to shut up.
Everyone turned their attention back to the host.
Rather than sympathizing with the robber who suffered the consequences of his actions or the weirdo who made such a saintly statement, they were more interested in Lu Xuan.
When Lu Xuan went into the mountains to look for treasure before, they had already guessed that he had a secret, and now they were even more certain of it.
They still couldn't guess what secrets Lu Xuan was hiding. They only knew that he was definitely not the ancient country boy who had been stupid for more than ten years as they initially thought!
Live audience: Man, you've managed to pique my interest.
Lu Xuan glanced at the carriage and casually snapped his fingers. The audience, who were making all kinds of random guesses, saw the robbers who were tied up by the vampire vines and were only breathing their last breath or had already died, gradually shrinking until only a thin layer of skin was left.
[Hiss—was it sucked dry by the vampire vine?]
[Mutated vampire vine, the word "blood-sucking" is not called that for nothing!!]
Lu Xuan moved his fingers again, and the vampire vine quickly shrank and turned into seeds again, which were absorbed into his body. The dozen or so skins in the air also floated down lightly.
In order not to scare innocent people, he put all the skins with frightened expressions into the space ring, and planned to throw them under a cliff in the mountains after returning.
After making sure nothing was left out, Lu Xuan walked to the carriage and tapped twice, "You can go now."
After a while, the driver cautiously stuck his head out and looked outside.
"Huh? Where are the people?" the driver asked in surprise.
Lu Xuan said calmly, "I beat him away."
The driver was shocked and said, "So you are so good at fighting, sir?" Twenty people were beaten away?
The driver looked at Lu Xuan, whose clothes fluttered in the wind, as if he was looking at some hidden hero.
...It's just that the hero has cotton wool all over his body, which kind of ruins the atmosphere.
And... after the shock, the coachman smelled the strong smell of blood around him, and some lingering doubts still remained in his heart.
He only heard screams in the carriage, and then it became quiet. He didn't hear any sound of escape at all.
Did those people really run away?
"What are you doing?" Lu Xuan asked softly behind him.
The driver shuddered violently, not daring to think too much. "It's nothing, nothing. Let's get going quickly."
After Lu Xuan got on the car, the driver looked around again at the empty space and the scattered bloodstains on the ground. He swallowed, looked away, and then tremblingly swung the rope in his hand, quickly got the car and left the scene.

About half a day after Lu Xuan left the city, the Bai family also found out his whereabouts in the past few days.
Bai Xuefeng was completely dumbfounded when he heard from his subordinates that Lu Xuan had spent more than six thousand taels of silver in just a few days to buy a large amount of food, meat and other supplies.
He guessed that Lu Xuan might have bought a lot of things, but he didn't expect so many!
More than 30,000 kilograms of grain and thousands of pigs - it is impossible for a few people to digest this in a short period of time.
Lu Xuan even bought a lot of ironware!
Iron is a very sensitive substance. Bai Xuefeng couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw the total quantity Lu Xuan purchased, and suspected that there was some force behind him.
What is even more puzzling is that no one knows how Lu Xuan transported so many things away.
The people below checked the small courtyard that Lu Xuan rented and asked the neighbors, confirming that a lot of goods were indeed delivered in every day in the past few days, but nothing was ever seen being shipped out.
When Lu Xuan checked out, their people sneaked in to check and found that all the supplies inside had disappeared out of thin air!
Bai Xuefeng became more and more flustered. He had a hunch that Lu Xuan might not have lied to him yesterday, and that a huge disaster might really happen next!
After hearing the news, Mr. Bai also realized the crisis hidden behind it. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he immediately asked the housekeeper to collect a batch of supplies as quickly as possible. The specific types of supplies could be directly referred to Lu Xuan's shopping list.
Among them, things like ceramics are not in short supply at home, so they can be directly excluded. Fresh meat cannot be preserved for too long, so you can buy bacon which is easier to preserve instead. As for other necessities such as food, cloth, charcoal, etc., the more the better.
Lu Xuan can buy so much by himself, so their family cannot buy less.
Using a large amount of funds at once and purchasing a large quantity of supplies were no small matters, and the Bai family soon became busy.
Many people below did not understand what the higher-ups wanted to do until the disaster suddenly struck shortly afterwards, and then they understood what was going on. The Bai family was extremely grateful that they did not underestimate the important information provided by Lu Xuan and were extremely grateful to him.
Unfortunately, when they wanted to find this benefactor again, they couldn't find him anywhere.

Yunlu Village, Lu family.
Lu Qing was drying the mushrooms that Lu Xuan brought back in the yard.
It was two days past the scheduled time since Lu Xuan said he would go to the city. Lu Qing was picking at the mushrooms that were almost dried and muttered, "I wonder if Ah Xuan's trip went smoothly and if he can sell... them."
It's been the fifth day and he still hasn't returned. Could it be that he encountered some trouble in the city and is being delayed?
"Sister! Brother is back! He brought back a lot of things!"
When Lu Qing was hesitating whether to discuss with Lei Yan to go to the city to find someone, Lu Chen, who had been waiting for people at the village entrance these two days, ran back excitedly.
Lu Qing excitedly picked up the dried mushrooms that she had squeezed into pieces and ran out quickly.
