32: Chapter 32 Hostages? Do you think I care? Kill them! One for all!

"Damn it! How dare you kill my brother!"

Such a bloody scene, rather than making this group of desperate thugs timid, it only ignited their ferocity!

The bald man could no longer worry about his lower body and charged at Lu Qingyun along with his companions!

Although it was clear from that one strike that this young man's strength was quite extraordinary, they had the advantage in numbers, and the space here was narrow. If they swarmed him, it wasn't certain who would live and who would die!

They were all people who licked blood off the edge of a blade; what was the point of this line of work if they were afraid of death?

Feeling the large hand that was about to drag her into the abyss release, Liu Qingqing and her companion hurriedly huddled together, curled up on the side, their bodies trembling constantly.

Their eyes were tightly fixed on the thin yet incredibly reliable figure in front.

That figure was like the dawn of hope, dragging them back from the darkness!

And now, all they could do was pray for that young man's victory!

"Die—!"

A military dagger flashing with cold light rushed toward Lu Qingyun.

After dodging sideways, a single slash later, experience points were credited!

Having already reached the Aperture-Opening Realm, he didn't need to be serious at all to deal with this group of Mortal Shedding Realm late-stage trash.

In this narrow train corridor, facing a siege by nearly ten thugs, Lu Qingyun strolled as if he were taking a leisurely walk, killing one person with every step!

Finally, he raised the slightly dulled long saber in his hand and faced the last tall man.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The Tall Man, facing the dripping blade, kept his expression calm; he actually started clapping on the spot.

"Not bad. Thank you for helping me... kill this bunch of troublemaking trash."

"At your age, to have just entered the Aperture Opening Realm is truly stunning. It's just a pity that you met me."

"Of course, although with my strength at the Tongqiao Middle Stage, killing you is easy, it would still take some effort and might affect me. It would be better... just as you said, to live in peace?"

The Tall Man spoke in a tone that was both consultative and confident.

What he revealed was exactly as he said—strength belonging to the Tongqiao Middle Stage!

Normally, the Tongqiao Middle Stage would indeed find it easy to beat the early stage.

However, just as he said...

Since he was an astonishing prodigy, if he didn't have the strength to fight above his level, what kind of prodigy would he be!

As a criminal who had survived under wanted notices until now, he understood this deep down.

At the same time, seeing Lu Qingyun's performance, which was like cutting melons and vegetables, actually made his palms sweat, and he felt uneasy!

"Live in peace? Heh—too late."

Lu Qingyun's gaze was cold, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through the heart of The Tall Man and see the actual retreat in his mind!

Such blunt words caused a flash of anger to appear in The Tall Man's eyes!

But he knew that if he really fought this boy with the saber, even if he won, he would get nothing. But if he lost, he would die.

A victory that cost a certain price would be enough to expose a fatal flaw during his subsequent escape!

No matter the result, it was not good for him!

"Damn it!"

"This bunch of guys who fail more than they succeed, bringing such a troublesome matter, and then dying so contentedly."

"Fuck!"

The Tall Man cursed inwardly, his gaze darting rapidly around at this moment.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had found a solution!

He moved forward quickly, reached out with his large hand toward a man huddled in the corner nearby, and grabbed him, holding him hostage!

"Don't come over! Otherwise, he will die!"

In his view, a talented youth like Lu Qingyun would certainly not dare to attack him while he held a hostage!

Otherwise, he would undoubtedly become an accomplice to the murder of an ordinary person!

Looking at his stance of eradicating evil, this move of his was truly ingenious to the extreme!

He only needed to stall until getting off the train, and he could continue his escape.

There was absolutely no need to suffer unnecessary losses before that.

"Don't... don't kill me! Big brother, I have a forty-year-old mature woman above, a thirty-year-old young woman below, a twenty-year-old mature university student, and... a lolita to support. Without me, how will they live!"

"Don't do it, little brother, please don't be impulsive, I don't want to die!"

The held man cried out, his legs shaking like a sieve.

Hearing this, The Tall Man had a slight urge to just kill him, but he was generally satisfied.

However, when his gaze fell on Lu Qingyun, his eyelids twitched slightly.

Because from Lu Qingyun's eyes, he saw shock, he saw pity for himself.

The only thing he didn't see was the middle-aged man he was holding hostage.

It was as if the person in his hands... didn't even have the qualifications to catch his eye!

"A hostage, huh—hehe—"

"Personally, I think this person would be very happy to sacrifice his own life to let you die and save more people."

"Of course, if he is not willing, then such a selfish person... how is he worthy of being saved. Don't you think?"

Lu Qingyun spoke slowly, his voice unusually indifferent.

The next moment, he drew his saber directly, ignoring the middle-aged man standing in front of him, and slashed directly at The Tall Man!

"Fuck! A lunatic!"

The Tall Man didn't expect Lu Qingyun to not play by the rules at all.

His indifference to life and his cold, decisive methods made him unable to tell who was the wanted criminal on the run.

Helpless, he could only push the middle-aged man away to prevent him from hindering his movements.

His hands suddenly turned pitch black, like two huge pieces of mysterious iron.

"Clang—!"

The blade fell, making the sound of metal collision and friction upon contact with his palms.

"Crack—!"

Under the collision of massive force, the long saber that Lu Qingyun had snatched broke directly due to its material!

Seeing this scene, The Tall Man naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.

He opened all his apertures, exhaling essence, and burst forth with his most powerful combat strength, rushing directly toward Lu Qingyun!

He wanted to use these fists that were like mysterious iron to solve this young man with the least cost and the fastest speed!

However, Lu Qingyun, who had lost his weapon, not only showed no signs of nervousness in his eyes.

He didn't even seem to notice his intention to close in, just letting him approach, and then...

"Bang—!!"

A speed invisible to the naked eye, a terrifying force!

His head was like being hit by a giant rock, and his entire body was instantly pressed onto the ground!

The entire carriage shook slightly in the face of this huge force; fortunately, due to its special material, it did not break.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!!"

One blow after another, Lu Qingyun squatted on the ground as if performing a simple, repetitive ritual.

Until The Tall Man completely lost his breath and became friendly experience points, he stopped.

After doing all this, Lu Qingyun stood up.

Acting like nothing had happened, he braved the gaze of all and washed the blood off his hands in the restroom.

Afterwards, he stepped over the corpses and sat back in his seat.

But he did not continue to cultivate.

Because not long after, the scene in this carriage was discovered...

Soon, a special flight attendant with a pale face, but an expression of extreme awe, walked over.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for stepping forward at a critical moment to save the safety of many passengers."

"We have already understood the situation. After verification, these people are all wanted criminals. So, you don't need to worry about any trouble."

"We need you to provide an account here, and the bounty for these people will be transferred to your account subsequently."

Lu Qingyun nodded, indicating he knew.

With the cleaning of the scene, many shocked passengers went to other carriages.

The couple opposite Lu Qingyun also took their son to get treatment.

Just when Lu Qingyun wanted to close his eyes and continue practicing.

Liu Qingqing and her companion walked over timidly.

Although they had witnessed Lu Qingyun's wanton slaughter just now, as well as his disregard for the hostage at the end.

Yet in their hearts, they were still grateful to Lu Qingyun.

After all, although Lu Qingyun did not make a move at the first moment, the final result was still because Lu Qingyun stepped forward that they were not killed alive.

"Thank you."

The two women spoke.

And Lu Qingyun chose not to respond, but closed his eyes on his own and chose to cultivate.

This not only carried a bit of showing off, but also because he really didn't want to waste cultivation time on such unimportant matters.

Seemingly knowing Lu Qingyun's meaning, Liu Qingqing and her companion's eyes were full of dimness.

Then they stopped bothering him and chose to go to other carriages to rest.

The rest of the journey was incredibly smooth, with only Lu Qingyun in the large carriage.

It wasn't until the sound of the train arriving at the station sounded that he opened his eyes.
