"This is still the most fun! Haha, after I deal with that idiot Murong Fu, I'll keep playing like this!"
Luo Chen jumped out of the pool, tidied himself up, used his inner strength to evaporate the water from his body, and then took out a set of dry clothes from the Demon King's space and put them on.
At Luo's command, the women in the pool put A'Zhu down after carrying her for two days and two nights.
At this moment, A'Zhu was sobbing uncontrollably. Although she had been carried for two days and two nights, she was still exhausted and utterly worn out. She looked at the women around her with resentment, her heart broken!
Then, Luo Chen moved his mind and took the women into the Demon King's Space, where he changed them into dry clothes.
Then, Luo Chen swaggered to the entrance of Mantuo Manor, leaned against the archway, looked at the crowd outside, and revealed a wicked smile.
"Murong Fu, you idiot, did you bring what I asked for?!"
Luo Chen stretched out a finger, picked at it between his teeth, and pulled out a shred of meat he had eaten earlier, then flicked it onto the ground.
"You shameless scoundrel, how dare you insult Young Master Murong! Are you courting death?!"
"You thief, release Young Master Murong's relatives at once, or I, Liu Sandao, will make sure you leave with your life here today!"
"Young Master Murong, please rest assured. With all the heroes of the martial world gathered here today, this villain has no chance of escaping!"
When the group of heroes from the martial arts world saw Luo Chen emerge, they immediately shouted loudly, seemingly not only to show support for Murong Fu but also to win his favor.
"I am Murong Fu. Thank you all for your great help. I owe you a favor!"
Murong Fu was a hypocritical scoundrel, so he naturally had to put on these formalities. Then he cupped his hands to Luo Chen and said, "Friend, I am Murong Fu. I don't know what grudge I have against you, and why you kidnapped my relatives?"
Murong Fu's words immediately drew praise from the crowd, who hailed him as a true gentleman, showing such politeness even to a shameless person like Ru.
Luo Chen found it amusing to watch Murong Fu, this hypocritical little man, put on such a show. He genuinely wanted to expose the false face of this sanctimonious person. Suddenly, Luo Chen sneered and said, "Murong Fu, you big idiot, enough nonsense! Did you bring what I asked for?!"
Chapter 277 Sneak Attack
“Young master, you are a dignified man and do not seem like someone who is desperate. Why would you resort to such a desperate measure to extort me, Murong Fu?”
As you know, although I, Murong Fu, am not particularly talented, within this city of Suzhou, a stomp of my foot can still shake the earth! If you release my relatives today, I, Murong Fu, can guarantee that I will not make things difficult for you!
Murong Fu was used to putting on an act, so even though Luo Chen called him a big idiot repeatedly, he didn't get angry, which made him look very dignified.
"Haha, Murong Fu, you really are a stupid idiot. I'm cursing you like this and you don't even talk back. You're a born idiot. Stop wasting your breath on me. Here's what I want! Give it to me now!"
Luo Chen wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, he had the hostage in his hands, and he was confident in his future!
He had already detected Murong Fu's strength through the system. He was a genuine peak of the mid-stage Core Formation Realm, and only needed one more opportunity to advance to the late-stage Core Formation Realm!
Although he had not reached the late stage of the Core Formation Realm, Murong Fu, with his unique and powerful technique, Shifting Stars, was completely worthy of any expert at the late stage of the Core Formation Realm!
Even defeating the strong with the weak is not uncommon!
Therefore, there is a saying in the martial arts world: "Use their own methods against them!"
"Hey, you thief, your life is yours!"
Just then, a figure flew out from a flower bush not far from Luo Chen. With a flash of silver light, a sword beam immediately pierced towards Luo Chen from the side, heading straight for him in the blink of an eye.
This man was a chivalrous figure from the martial arts world who volunteered to capture the thieves for Murong Fu. He was already at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and possessed considerable strength.
Therefore, he hid his gaze among the flowers, intending to subdue Luo Chen the moment she emerged.
To his surprise, Luo Chen didn't come out; he just leaned against the archway frame, picking his teeth.
Even the strand of meat that Luo Chen had just flicked out landed squarely on the face of this martial arts hero!
If he hadn't been worried that Luo Chen would discover him beforehand and harm the hostages, this chivalrous hero would have immediately attacked Luo Chen.
However, after waiting for so long, Luo Chen clearly had no intention of coming out. This martial arts hero saw Murong Fu wink at him and immediately launched a thunderous attack on Luo Chen!
This strike was as fast as lightning! This strike was as swift as thunder! This strike was certain to succeed!
The next moment, the sword successfully pierced Luo Chen's throat!
"Haha! Young Master Murong, the thief has been eliminated. Everyone can now enter the manor to rescue the hostages!" This chivalrous hero burst into wild laughter after delivering the final blow with his sword.
But his laughter sounded somewhat monotonous, and no one echoed his laughter.
Because just now, when this martial arts hero pierced Luo Chen's throat with his sword, the sound that followed was not the sound of flesh being ripped open, but a clang!
It was as if a sword had pierced through refined iron, making it incredibly tough!
In fact, Luo Chen had already seen through the roots of the Datura flower spirit that this chivalrous hero was secretly hiding among the flowers. The reason he leaned against the archway was to lure this person out.
However, when the man stabbed at her, Luo Chen didn't panic at all, and didn't even try to dodge.
Wearing the Sun Demon Cloak, one can completely withstand 80% of the damage from any early Core Formation stage cultivator, and 50% of the damage from a mid-Core Formation stage cultivator.
If a mere mid-Foundation Establishment Realm trash like him could possibly injure Luo Chen, that would be a miracle!
So when this sword struck Luo Chen, it didn't even scratch Luo Chen's skin!
At that moment, not only was Murong Fu stunned, but everyone else also stared dumbfounded at Luo Chen's throat.
Everyone could hardly believe their eyes; their mouths were agape, and they were so shocked they almost lost their front teeth.
"This...this...how is this possible!"
"Not killed?"
"What kind of strength does he have? Even if he is a Core Formation Realm expert, if he is stabbed in the throat when he is so unguarded, he should be able to get away without even being injured, right?"
All the heroes of the martial arts world who came were shocked and their voices trembled. This was completely beyond their worldview!
After the martial arts hero finished speaking, he looked at the crowd, hoping to hear their congratulations and praise. However, when he saw that everyone was staring in disbelief, he found that they all had dumbfounded expressions.
The martial arts hero was immediately puzzled. He then turned to look at Luo Chen, only to be met with Luo Chen's cold smile.
What terrified him even more was that he saw his longsword hadn't even scratched Luo Chen's skin, and he immediately cried out in alarm, "Ah! Are you a human or a ghost!"
But his words came to an abrupt end, because the next moment, Luo Chen's large hand suddenly grabbed the hilt of his longsword and then casually pushed it away!
This push, with the force of a thousand pounds, instantly slammed the entire hilt of the longsword into the chest of this martial arts hero, burying it directly into his chest and smashing his heart open!
This chivalrous hero was now dead beyond dead!
Upon seeing this, Murong Fu immediately wanted to test his skills against Luo Chen.
Murong Fu fought many battles, against both those stronger and weaker than him.
He had thought it through clearly: if Luo Chen was weaker than him, he could kill Luo Chen directly. If Luo Chen was stronger than him, he could easily escape unscathed thanks to the power of his Star Shift technique!
Luo Chen completely ignored him. With a thought, he moved Li Qingluo behind the archway. Then, with a pull, he pulled Li Qingluo out from behind the archway, making it look as if she had been hidden behind it all along.
Suddenly! Luo Chen placed his sword against Li Qingluo's jade-like neck and shouted, "I'll give you three seconds. If I don't see the stars shift, she's dead!"
"Young master, let's talk this out..." Murong Fu quickly spoke, trying to buy time.
"Three! Two! One!" Luo Chen ignored Murong Fu and immediately started the countdown! ...
Chapter 278 See if I'll kill you or not!
In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen had already finished counting down the seconds. He then brandished his longsword, pretending to pull it towards Li Qingluo's jade-like neck, as if he was about to kill her.
Murong Fu also slightly stretched out his hand, pretending to compromise.
However, he reached out his hand very slowly and did not speak.
He had thought it through very clearly: "I'll speak up after you kill Li Qingluo with one sword. At that time, I will not only gain a good reputation for being willing to use the Star Shift technique to save people, but I will also reduce the number of hostages you have."
However, despite all his calculations, Murong Fu never expected that Luo Chen's sword strike had not killed Li Qingluo at all, but was merely a deception.
This made his outstretched hand look rather awkward.
Everyone had some suspicions about Murong Fu, believing that he wouldn't save Li Qingluo.
The most disappointed person was Li Qingluo, because as Murong Fu's aunt, she saw that her nephew would rather let her die than hand over the martial arts manual of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi.
"See? This is our good nephew of ours. He doesn't care whether you live or die!"
Luo Chen chuckled, then planted several firm kisses on Li Qingluo's cheeks before turning to Murong Fu and saying:
"Murong Fu, you unfilial bastard! Li Qingluo is already my woman, and I am now your uncle. How can you not care about your aunt's life or death? This really makes your aunt and me unhappy!"
"You! You shameless wretch! My young master saw long ago that you wouldn't dare kill Madam Wang, which is why he remained indifferent!"
Seeing that Murong Fu's reputation might be damaged, Deng Baichuan immediately spoke up, defusing Murong Fu's embarrassment.
“That’s right! Aunt, I was certain he wouldn’t kill you, which is why I was slow to speak. It wasn’t that I was unwilling to exchange it for the Shifting Stars technique. Everyone knows that I, Murong Fu, am a man of great integrity and loyalty. How could I possibly abandon my aunt’s life for a martial arts manual!”
Upon hearing this, Murong Fu felt grateful to Deng Baichuan and immediately continued Deng Baichuan's words.
"Young Master Murong is indeed exceptionally intelligent! He saw through this shameless scoundrel's schemes at a glance. I am truly impressed!"
"Yes! We all know what kind of person Young Master Murong is. He would never hold back when it comes to his relatives and friends!"
"I am ashamed. I actually thought that Young Master Murong was a cold-blooded and heartless person. I am guilty! I am guilty! Please forgive me, Young Master Murong!"
Immediately, the group of martial arts heroes who had come with Murong Fu either praised him or confessed their sins, flattering him relentlessly!
Just as everyone was chatting animatedly, Luo Chen burst into laughter: "Really? So you idiot Murong Fu are so clever! Then I'll see if you're really that clever, or just a hypocritical villain!"
Immediately, Luo Chen stretched out his large hand again, pulled from behind the archway, pulled out the unconscious Feng Bo'e, and then threw him directly at his feet.
Then, Luo pulled Wang Yuyan and Abi out as well.
Both of them were tightly bound by vines, making it impossible to escape in the chaos! Luo Chen brandished his longsword, immediately pointing it directly at Feng Bo'e's neck at his feet, coldly laughing, "Murong Fu, you big idiot! You didn't kill Li Qingluo earlier only because she served me well. Now I'm going to kill Feng Bo'e, and this time it's for real. Three seconds, if you don't bring out your Dou Zhuan..."
"Star shift, he's doomed!"
"Young master, Feng Bo'e is a retainer of my family, Murong Fu. If you dare to kill him, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
Upon seeing this, Murong Fu was furious to find that Feng Bo'e had indeed been captured by Luo Chen.
"Three! Two!..."
Luo Chen ignored Murong Fu and started counting down.
Murong Fu stared intently at Luo Chen, gambling that Luo Chen wouldn't dare to kill anyone!
"one!"
Luo Chen finished counting down. He didn't care about Feng Bo'e's life at all. Killing Feng Bo'e was no different from killing a pig or a dog to him.
Whoosh!
A flash of cold light appeared before everyone's eyes, and a spurt of blood immediately gushed out, scattering into the air.
The head of the evil man rolled far away.
The entrance to Mantuo Manor happened to be on a slope, and the archway where they were standing was on a higher part of the slope, while Murong Fu and the others were on a relatively lower part.
After Feng Bo'e's head was cut off, it rolled down the slope all the way to Murong Fu and the others.
When Murong Fu saw that Luo Chen had killed Feng Bo'e, he felt relieved. At least Luo Chen had one less hostage to threaten him, which was a good thing for Murong Fu!
However, you still have to put on a show!
"Ah! Feng Bo'e! How could you leave me like this! Feng Bo'e! I, Murong Fu, have failed you! I will definitely avenge you!"
Murong Fu's performance was so over-the-top that it almost looked like he was about to cry.
"Thief, take your life!"
"We will avenge Feng Bo'e today!"
Immediately, Deng Baichuan, Bao Butong, and Gongye Qian were about to charge towards Luo Chen.
Murong Fu naturally saw this scene. He thought to himself, "Good for you to charge! You must charge over there. It would be best if you could force Luo Chen to kill someone, and then you could kill him. That way, I won't have to hand over the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, and I won't have a bad reputation."
Murong Fu pretended to be unable to extricate himself from the pain of Feng Bo'e's death, and held Feng Bo'e's head and wailed loudly. His cries moved everyone around him!
However, Luo Chen sneered and shouted, "Shut your ass!"
At Luo Chen's command, Li Qingluo, Abi, and Wang Yuyan automatically stood in a row, each raising their delicate chins to reveal their jade-like necks.
With a whoosh, Luo Chen swung his sword, placing it directly against the necks of Li Qingluo, Abi, and Wang Yuyan. Bao Butong, Deng Baichuan, and Gongye Qian, seeing that Luo Chen was about to kill again, all stopped in their tracks, not daring to step forward, and could only look to Murong Fu for instructions once more.
Chapter 279 was indeed fake.
Although Murong Fu was wailing and crying while holding Feng Bo'e's head, he was secretly glancing at Bao Butong and the other two out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that the three of them had actually stopped, Murong Fu was furious. He thought to himself, "What are you three idiots doing stopping? Go kill him!"
What are you looking at me for? Do you expect me to give you orders to disregard your aunts' lives?
