"Hahahaha... Lu Zheng! Are you looking for me?" At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in the forest. The leader was dressed as a scholar, but his rough voice did not sound like that of a scholar.
Lu Zheng held his sword, the tip scraping the ground with a piercing sound: "Two choices: one, submit to me; two, die!"
The gruff-voiced scholar was none other than Wan San, the leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. He sneered, "I'll give you two choices: one, cut off your own head; two, I'll do it for you!"
Lu Zheng's lips curled into a smile, and he drew his sword, ready to charge forward.
Suddenly, a familiar voice made him stop in his tracks.
"Ah!" Gu Xin was watching the show perfectly when someone put a rope around her and before she could react, she fell to the ground under the tree.
Gu Xin's voice was all too familiar to Lu Zheng, and he looked in the direction from which the voice came.
Wan San laughed: "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect this. The news was true. It turns out the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo really likes young girls. How utterly depraved! This girl is only twelve years old! Lu Zheng, you're seventeen. Don't you think you're old? I'd be disgusted for you!"
White-robed: "Lu Zheng, kill him! He's no match for you now, we'll help you!"
"Waaaaah..."
At this moment, Gu Xin was carried over. Her mouth was gagged and her whole body was tied up.
Lu Zheng loosened his fist: "Let her go."
White-robed: "Lu Zheng! You've done all this, and you're going to quit for a little girl! I'd kill you."
Wan San laughed: "Hahahaha, white-robed, my Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion is no worse than your Thousand Blades Sect! Look, now that you're gone, the Lin family immediately came to me, saying they only supported you because of some distant kinship with you!"
The man in white was about to slash Wan San with his sword when Lu Zheng stopped him.
Wan San chuckled and said, "This little girl first poisoned my brother, then stabbed him with a knife. Her audacity is beyond that of ordinary girls. She's worthy of your young master. So, young master, do you want me to release her? Today you only have one choice: either she dies, or you die!"
Lu Zheng took a deep breath: "Fine, if you want me to make such a big sacrifice, at least let me see her current condition. You're covering her up and tying her up, what if it's not her at all?"
Wan San: "Tch, you stopped what you were doing as soon as you heard her voice, and you still say it wasn't her? Don't try anything funny! If you want to see her, you can just stab yourself with your sword, then come over empty-handed and say your last words, how about that? Then it won't be difficult for me to take your head!"
Without hesitation, Lu Zheng swung his sword at his own stomach, threw the sword away, and turned to walk towards Gu Xin.
Gu Xin's eyes widened, and tears instantly streamed down her face. She shook her head, only able to whimper, "Waaaaah..."
Everyone present was stunned by his actions. It was during this pause that Lu Zheng swiftly stabbed the person who was holding Gu Xin and snatched Gu Xin away.
He also had a dagger strapped to his foot.
Several of the Gu family's children who practice martial arts have it, but Xinxin gave it to him specifically.
Wan San realized what was happening and gave the order: "Kill them!"
Lu Zheng held Gu Xin, cut the ropes around her, picked up the sword of the man he had killed from the ground, and fought back: "White-robed, kill them all!"
At this moment, Gu Xin could no longer hear the sounds of fighting.
She wrapped her arms around Lu Zheng's waist, feeling the blood flowing from her waist. At this moment, all she could see in her eyes was Yuan Yuan, the ruthless killer who was holding her.
