Lu Qing slowly walked along the road.His mind, however, was far from calm. Those few hooligans, after being crippled by him, would find it difficult to commit evil deeds again in the future. Even living like normal people would be a challenge for them. As for why he didn't kill them outright, it was because Lu Qing wasn't one to kill indiscriminately. In his past life, besides killing fish, he rarely even killed chickens or ducks, let alone people. Since crossing over to this world, Lu Qing had been mentally preparing himself, telling himself that this world was different—more cruel and survival of the fittest. But killing people was still a hard decision for him to make. He didn't know what changes would occur once he crossed that line. After becoming a martial artist, killing people wasn't difficult for him. What was difficult was whether he could remain unchanged after taking that step. If those hooligans had been truly evil, Lu Qing might have been able to do it. But the information from his abilities told him they weren't. So Lu Qing decided to give them a chance. Indeed, he wasn't like the protagonists in those novels he read in his past life, who could kill decisively right after crossing over without any hesitation. In the end, he was still just an ordinary person. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NʘvᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality. Lu Qing thought self-deprecatingly. However, after this incident, Lu Qing finally realized the strength of a martial artist. Even the weakest in the Qi and Blood Realm was an existence that ordinary people could not resist. Whether in strength, reaction, or defense, the two were not on the same level at all. When Lu Qing was teaching those hooligans a lesson earlier, he clearly felt it. Their movements and reactions were like slow motion to him, posing almost no threat. So he could easily break their limbs while remaining unscathed. "Fortunately, martial arts cultivation is not easy, and breaking through to the Qi and Blood Realm is even more difficult. Otherwise, I can't imagine what this world would become," Lu Qing thought to himself. Don't be fooled by the fact that he had entered the Qi and Blood Realm in a short time. That was because he had the help of his abilities, the selfless guidance of his master, and the great tonic like the Golden Loach to make up for the deficiencies in his foundation. Ordinary people didn't have such conditions. Even after practicing martial arts for ten years, they might not even touch the edge of the Qi and Blood Realm. According to his master, anyone who could become a martial artist in this world was extraordinary, at least one in a hundred talents. Others, without talent, no matter how long they practiced, could only be agile and strong, capable of bullying ordinary people but breaking at the touch when encountering real martial artists. With these thoughts in mind, Lu Qing returned home. After putting everything away, he felt a sense of relief. This trip to the Grand Bazaar, despite some twists and turns, left him in a good mood overall. Especially with successfully commissioning Mago to get him a battle knife. Thinking about having his own battle knife in a few days, Lu Qing felt quite excited. Lu Qing originally thought he would have to wait another four or five days to see Mago again. But to his surprise, just one day later, they met again. … At the back courtyard of a house in the Grand Bazaar. Mago looked worried as he called for one of his subordinates. "Has the young master from the Wei family not returned yet?" "No, Master Ma, I've been waiting outside, but I haven't seen Young Master Wei and his party return," the subordinate replied respectfully. "Why are they so late today?" Mago felt uneasy. "According to yesterday's schedule, they should have been back by now." After waiting for a long while and still not seeing them, Mago's uneasiness grew. He paced back and forth, constantly reassuring himself, "There won't be any problems. The Wei family's guards are all experts in the Tendons and Bones Realm. It's just a trip to the mountains, what could possibly go wrong?" But as time passed, Mago finally began to panic. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, what's that Wei brat thinking? Why does he insist on going into the mountains himself to find a birthday gift? Can't he just send his men? Doesn't he know that if anything happens to him, many people will suffer?" Just as Mago was on the verge of organizing a search party, his subordinate rushed in. "Master Ma, Master Ma, Young Master Wei and his party are back!" "Where are they?" Mago's heart leaped with joy, but his subordinate's face was filled with terror. "They're back, but Young Master Wei… he's…" Mago's heart sank. He grabbed his subordinate's collar. "What's wrong with Young Master Wei?" "He… he seems to be dead…" This statement hit Mago like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned. The next moment, an overwhelming fear surged in his heart. He grabbed his subordinate's collar again, his face twisted in rage. "How did he die? Who killed him?!" "I… I don't know. I saw the guards return, carrying a stretcher with Young Master Wei lying on it, covered in blood, not even breathing. I thought… I thought…" The subordinate stammered, terrified by Mago's fury. "Damn it!" Mago realized what was going on. It wasn't certain that Young Master Wei was dead, but this guy's words were definitely his own guess. "I'll deal with you later!" He kicked his subordinate aside and rushed out. The fear in his heart didn't lessen. Although the fool was guessing, it was clear that Young Master Wei was in a very bad state. Whether he was dead or gravely injured, the consequences were beyond Mago's bearing. When Mago reached the front yard, he saw several Wei family guards gathered around a blood-soaked stretcher, looking somber. On the stretcher, Young Master Wei lay pale and unconscious, his life hanging by a thread. "Guard Li, what's going on?" Seeing this scene, Mago's mind went blank, and he quickly shouted to the lead guard. "The young master accidentally fell into a ravine in the mountains, his abdomen slashed open by a sharp stone," Guard Li replied, his face grim with fear. He couldn't imagine the punishment they would face for failing to protect the young master. "Is the young master still alive?" Mago's heart tightened, his voice trembling. Guard Li knew what he meant and directly answered, "The young master still has a breath. We stuffed his intestines back in, applied medicine, and barely stopped the bleeding temporarily." Mago's heart pounded. "What are you planning to do now?" "We wanted to take him back to the city immediately, but the wound is too large. The jostling kept reopening it, washing away the hemostatic powder. We've run out of medicine, and at this rate, he won't make it back to the city." "So we came back to see if you had any extra medicine?" "Yes, I have it. I'll get it right away!" Mago quickly fetched his precious hemostatic powder and handed it to Guard Li. Although the medicine was valuable, he couldn't care about that now. Watching Guard Li apply the medicine to the young master's wound made Mago's heart twitch. He couldn't fathom how Young Master Wei fell to sustain such a horrific injury. "Guard Li, what do you plan to do next?" Mago asked after the medicine was applied. "We'll take the young master back to the city," Guard Li replied without hesitation. "But didn't you say the young master might not survive the journey?" Mago hurriedly asked. "Taking him back is his only chance. If we delay any longer, he won't even have that." Guard Li didn't mention that this was also their only chance. But Mago was anxious. If Guard Li and his team left, it would be disastrous if Young Master Wei died en route. Who knew if the guards would flee? He had to come up with a plan! Mago's mind raced, seeking a way out. Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind, and his eyes lit up. "Wait, I might have a way to save the young master!"
