Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 144: Why didn’t you dodge just now?

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Why didn’t you dodge just now?

Behind Lu Shengting, a young man stepped out, his green shirt and long sword looking exceedingly pretentious.

The youth’s gaze was bleak and indifferent, with three parts contempt and seven parts disinterest.

For Lu Sheng, all these so-called outsiders were trash.

Even those who had managed to break through to Internal Strength on their own were still worthless.

How many times had they held these selections, and had any true geniuses of astonishing talent ever emerged? None!

Their peak was nothing more than Hua Jin.

As for him, Lu Sheng, he reached Internal Strength at twenty, Peak of Internal Strength at twenty-five.

His goal was to achieve Qi Force within two years, reach Hua Jin within ten, and then assault the realm of Heavenly Man.

He, Lu Sheng, would become the Lu Family’s second Heavenly Man!

"Great Elder, if I use my full strength, I might kill him," Lu Sheng said indifferently as he passed Lu Shengting.

Lu Shengting replied with a cold smile, "The Goo Clan reveres Martial Arts; the path of Martial Arts is fraught with life and death uncertainties. Since they are crossing hands, injuries and fatalities are inevitable."

Everyone present found nothing wrong with Lu Shengting’s words.

That’s how it was within the Goo Clan; once a fight began, life and death were left to fate.

Even in these mainly exchange-focused meetings, fatalities occurred every time.

It was a pity for Lu Xiao, who had hardly completed his breakthrough outside only to meet his end as soon as he arrived at the Goo Clan.

But no one else could be blamed for this, the fault was his own—what was he playing at?

Upon arriving at the Goo Clan, he should have kept a low profile and focused on enhancing his strength, reining in that arrogance and domineering attitude he had outside. After all, here you could throw a stone and hit three experts.

Of course, it was even worse for the Su Family.

They had gone to such lengths to recruit someone who had broken through on his own, only for him to be on the verge of death the moment he turned around.

It was likely that the Su Family had begun providing Lu Xiao with a vast array of resources in the past few days, and now it was all wasted.

At this moment, Lu Xiao also narrowed his eyes—Martial Arts is unpredictable in life and death?

Fine, that’s what you said.

Still, Lu Xiao glanced back at Su Tianzhen in the crowd.

Honestly, Su Tianzhen had been quite good to him, constantly sending over various medicines in the past few days.

If Su Tianzhen didn’t want to offend the Lu Family, then he’d just have to go a bit easier when the time came to make his move—cripple him to the point of half-body paralysis, perhaps.

At the front of the Su Family line, Su Tianzhen had a grave expression, showing neither joy nor anger, with an even and common gaze.

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow, understanding.

Since Su Tianzhen knew he possessed Qi Force and hadn’t instructed him to hold back, it meant there was no need for mercy.

Well, then... I won’t be polite.

Lu Xiao looked toward Lu Sheng as he slowly approached, the corners of his mouth gradually forming a curve.

"Damn it, the Major has gone crazy and is about to get serious," Similov and Arthur muttered to themselves, feeling their soles twitch at the sight of Lu Xiao’s madcap expression.

At the same time, their hearts also began to race with excitement.

Major, go at it with full force against these Goo Clan pricks, who spend their days acting all superior, claiming we outsiders are worthless.

"Make your move, or else you won’t have a chance," Lu Sheng said in an indifferent tone as he came to a stop five meters away from Lu Xiao, looking up briefly at him.

No sooner had Lu Sheng finished speaking than Lu Xiao’s aura exploded, his body lunging forward like an arrow.

In an instant, Lu Xiao and Lu Sheng crossed paths.

In Lu Xiao’s hand was a silver short blade, unbeknownst to anyone when he had taken hold of it—the blade belonged to Chen Fei, and Lu Xiao, finding it practical, had kept it with him.

At this time, a fresh smear of red adorned the blade.

Lu Sheng’s eyes bulged out in shock, his previously disdainful look replaced by horror and despair.

"He... he..." Lu Sheng gasped for air.

After staggering a few steps forward, the cut on Lu Sheng’s throat fully split open, and blood spurted out profusely.

Immediately after, Lu Sheng fell to the ground with a thud, his body beginning to convulse erratically.

The entire mountaintop plaza fell deathly silent.

Almost everyone was petrified.

It was thought that Lu Sheng would utterly defeat Lu Xiao, but the actual outcome was the exact opposite—Lu Sheng died, struck down by Lu Xiao’s blade in a split second.

Lu Sheng didn’t even have the chance to react.

A mere passing-by, and it was over for him.

"Hey, why didn’t you dodge just now?" At that moment, Lu Xiao suddenly turned around, looking down at the dying Lu Sheng, his expression seemingly filled with regret.
