421: Pest and mite control

Mu Ruxue held the shadow sword and walked step by step toward Luo Yang.

Her movements looked slow, yet her speed was very fast, and within a few seconds, she had reached Luo Yang and thrust her sword toward his chest.

Inside the Li Family courtyard, the Li Family members and guests from the other two Families set down their bowls and chopsticks, looking toward the entrance with astonishment.

The powerful fluctuations of Fighting Qi and the tremendous noise coming from the entrance shocked everyone deeply.

“Holy cow, what powerful Fighting Qi fluctuations! The person who came to cause trouble for the Li Family this time is too formidable.”

“Li Xiu Family Head hasn't returned after all this time. Is he still fighting bitterly, or is he already dead?”

“That shouldn't be right. Li Xiu Family Head is an Eight-Star Martial Emperor. Is there anyone stronger than him in Wangshu City? Even if there were, they wouldn't cause trouble for no reason.”

“Where is Lord Luo Yang? Why hasn't he made a move yet?”

The Family Heads of the other two Families exchanged glances and nodded slightly at the same time.

Immediately, they stood up and said in unison, “All members of the Wang (Chen) Family, retreat!”

Hearing the voice of their respective Family Heads, the experts from both Families stood up simultaneously, grabbed their weapons, and headed toward the entrance.

The Li Family guards hurriedly blocked them.

The guard leader said in a deep voice, “My Lords, the Family Head has ordered that no one is allowed to leave until he returns. Please continue to enjoy the feast!”

The Wang Family Head directly slapped him and said coldly, “A mere Martial King dares to stop me? It's uncertain whether Li Xiu is even alive, and you dare to chatter in front of me? Get out of the way!”

Just then, the sound of air being torn echoed from afar.

Two feathered arrows flew over, piercing the chests of the guard leader and his deputy.

Mu Ruxue couldn't distinguish their ranks, but killing the ones with the highest cultivation was certainly not wrong.

The two Li Family Martial Kings slowly collapsed, blood spurting from their chests and staining the ground red.

Everyone in the courtyard stood up, staring at the entrance with expressions of horror.

Immediately after, Mu Ruxue slowly walked into the courtyard, holding the dawn bow, her gaze burning brightly as she looked at the crowd inside.

Feeling the powerful fluctuations of Fighting Qi emanating from Mu Ruxue, the entire audience was stunned.

“It's Mu Ruxue! She actually fought her way back!”

“A Two-Star Martial Ancestor! Her Realm is already comparable to that Lord from Luoshen Palace. How is this possible?”

“That's right. When the Four Great Families held the martial arts competition a year ago, she was only in the Martial King Realm. Now, after just over a year, she is a Martial Ancestor? Crossing two major Realms within a year—a demon!”

“No need to say it, she must be here for revenge. The Family Head is probably already dead by her hands.”

Before everyone could recover from the shock, Lu Xingchen waved his hand and used powerful Soul Power to throw more than a dozen corpses from the entrance into the courtyard.

This included Li Xiu and Luo Yang.

This was specifically ordered by Mu Ruxue.

She wanted these Li Family members to fall into despair and experience the taste of what she had endured back then.

Seeing the corpses of Li Xiu and Luo Yang, cold sweat drenched everyone's backs.

The Wang Family Head immediately bowed to Mu Ruxue and cautiously said, “Xiao Xue, I know you are here to take revenge on the Li Family, but this has nothing to do with us. Can you let us leave?”

“Although we announced an Alliance with the Li Family, it was actually just coercion and temptation by Li Xiu. I already wanted to kill him in my heart. I even held you when you were little; please spare my life!”

Mu Ruxue nodded slightly and said coldly, “I am only here to deal with the Li Family today. Those who are unrelated, leave quickly!”

Hearing this, the Wang Family Head was overjoyed and rushed out of the courtyard immediately.

The Li Family Head also ran extremely fast.

There were also a few Li Family members who were terrified of Mu Ruxue and tried to seize the opportunity to sneak out.

But Lu Xingchen had already enveloped the entire Li Family courtyard with his Soul Power. Any Li Family member who reached the entrance was bounced back by a powerful surge of Soul Power.

The Li Family members stared blankly at Mu Ruxue. After everyone from the Wang Family and Chen Family had left, the panic in their hearts reached its peak.

Even the expert from Luoshen Palace had been killed. What could these ordinary Martial Artists do?

A middle-aged man immediately knelt down toward Mu Ruxue.

“Xiao Xue, this is a miscarriage of justice! I didn't participate in the attack on the Mu Family at all, and I always held a dissenting opinion. If you want revenge, don't include me!”

Once he took the lead, others also knelt down one after another, begging for mercy.

Hundreds of people in the entire Li Family all knelt down before a little girl.

This scene was truly bizarre.

Mu Ruxue cleared her throat and said loudly, “My Mu Family was destroyed. I have no interest in distinguishing right from wrong; I only want an eye for an eye. Today, I will slaughter the entire Li Family, leaving no one alive!”

Hearing this, the Li Family members were so scared that tears streamed out, and they frantically ran toward the entrance.

But with their weak Fighting Qi, how could they possibly be a match for Lu Xingchen?

Not a single person could escape the cage of Lu Xingchen's Soul Power.

Mu Ruxue said nothing more, drew her bow, nocked an arrow, used the Consecutive Arrow Technique, firing three Linked Arrows per second, continuously shooting at the Li Family members.

In less than two minutes, besides her and Lu Xingchen, there was no one left alive in the courtyard.

Whether it was young children or elderly women, all died beneath her arrows.

The thick smell of blood made her feel nauseous. She used Fighting Qi to forcibly suppress her physical reaction, put away the dawn bow, and walked up to Lu Xingchen.

“Teacher, was I too cruel?”

Lu Xingchen stroked her head and said softly, “No, this is decisiveness in killing. I have a Law of conduct: May the Fellow Daoist die, but not I, the poor Daoist. Everything must prioritize one's own interests.”

“The Li Family didn't spare your Family back then, so you don't need to be soft on them. If it were me, I would do things even more ruthlessly. Scrambling eggs, flooding ant nests with mercury, exterminating bugs and mites—these are necessary procedures.”

Mu Ruxue was originally teary-eyed and about to cry, but upon hearing Lu Xingchen's words, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although tears escaped from her eyes, a smile appeared on her face.

She playfully punched Lu Xingchen's chest and chided, “Teacher, you are too exaggerated!”

“Alright, let's go. I don't want to stay here for another second!”

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, “I was telling the truth. If I encountered such a thing, these would all be standard procedures. I, Lu Dazhuang, have always acted this way: repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring, and avenging the slightest grievance by exterminating bugs and mites. Alright, let's go!”

Just as Lu Xingchen took a step, Mu Ruxue suddenly rushed forward, stretched out both arms, and gave him a bear hug.

The soft sensation against his chest made his heart stall. Immediately, Lu Xingchen cursed silently to himself, “Lu Xingchen, calm down! She is your Disciple! You cannot do anything to betray your two wives!”
