Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Burial in Ancient River

The Heavenly Man’s Qi was incredibly mysterious and powerful when released.

But without it, relying solely on his body, he couldn’t stop bullets either.

Lu Tiankou’s kneecap was shattered by a bullet, not much blood flowed, but Lu Tiankou’s cries were agony incarnate.

As for Lu Xiao, he struck and retreated in an instant.

Without any hesitation or delay, he threw himself toward the rushing waters of the Ancient River.

At the same time, the last of the bombs on Lu Xiao’s body was thrown, landing in front of Lu Tiankou.

Bang!

Lu Tiankou was blown back by the blast.

By the time Lu Tiankou regained his balance, Lu Xiao had already plunged into the turbulent river with a splash.

"Damn it!" Lu Tiankou cursed with a dark expression.

He wanted to pursue, but the gunshot wound in his knee nearly left him unable to pick up speed, and after lumbering forward a few steps, he was sweating profusely with pain.

Moreover, Lu Xiao had already jumped into the Ancient River.

In such swift currents, it was impossible to give chase.

"Alas..." A few seconds later, Lu Tiankou heaved a sigh.

He didn’t know whether Lu Xiao would survive, but if this young man lived through this great disaster, the day he returned would likely be the day of calamity for the Lu Family.

Lu Tiankou had lived a full hundred years and had never seen such an outrageous prodigy.

Reaching the Peak of Hua Realm by 23 was one thing.

But the key was that Lu Xiao’s combat strength at the Peak of Hua Realm was simply terrifying.

Throughout the entire fight, he had not underestimated Lu Xiao in the slightest, giving his all whether in pursuit or in combat.

Yet even so, Lu Xiao had managed to wound him.

As for what weapon Lu Xiao used, it wasn’t important.

If it had been any other at the Peak of Hua Realm, not to mention using a handgun, even wielding a Gatling gun, they wouldn’t have been able to scratch him in the slightest.

"When he steps into the Heavenly Man realm, my strength will probably be utterly crushed," he thought.

"This is truly despairing."

After a few self-mocking chuckles, Lu Tiankou turned and left with a limp.

...

Two days later, in the Su Family’s Grand Hall, Su Tianzhen’s eyes were filled with sorrow.

Lu Xiao had not returned.

Even if Lu Xiao took a detour through the Ancient River, it wouldn’t take two days.

"Big brother, Lu Xiao... he may have already been killed by Lu Tiankou," someone suddenly said in a somber tone.

It was hard to accept, but it could not be ignored.

"Did you see it with your own eyes? Did you see Lu Xiao’s corpse? If not, then don’t spread rumors! Shut your mouth!" Su Tianzhen’s emotions suddenly erupted as he glared and roared.

The entire hall fell deafeningly silent.

Next to him, Su Qin also looked somewhat forlorn.

Over these two days, they had repeatedly sent people to search along the Ancient River to no avail.

They found traces of the battle, which seemed incredibly fierce, and they also found Wang Jun’s body...

All the evidence pointed to a high likelihood that Lu Xiao had been killed by Lu Tiankou, and as for the body, it might have fallen into the Ancient River.

The Ancient River nearly cut through the entire Qilian Mountain Range, finding something in it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Continue sending people to search, we want to see him alive or his body in death!"

"Also, notify the Xuanyuan Clan, say that Lu Xiao has been pursued by Lu Tiankou and his life or death is uncertain."

"Let the Xuanyuan Clan question Lu Tiankou on whether the person is dead or not," Su Tianzhen quickly gave orders.

If the Su Family were to ask, there would be no result at all.

The Lu Family wouldn’t take the Su Family seriously in the slightest.

But it was different with the Xuanyuan Clan. With two Heavenly Men, as long as they put enough pressure on the Lu Family, they would relent.

"Great Elder..." At this moment, Su Qin suddenly spoke up.

Su Tianzhen looked toward Su Qin.

"I might need to go out for a while. Regarding Lu Xiao’s situation, I have to inform his... godmother," Su Qin said, taking a deep breath.

Su Tianzhen frowned slightly, Lu Xiao’s godmother?

In such a situation, what was the use of telling Lu Xiao’s family? Could outsiders really intervene in the affairs of the Goo Clan?

"Great Elder, Lu Xiao’s godmother is... Liu Mingshu," Su Qin’s voice was hoarse.

The relationship between Lu Xiao and Liu Mingshu had always been unspoken.

It was supposed to be a trump card of hers.

Who would have thought such an incident would occur?

She couldn’t even imagine how enraged Liu Mingshu would be if she found out that Lu Xiao might be dead.

"What did you say?!" Su Tianzhen’s eyes bulged with shock.

The other elders of the Su Family were also visibly stunned.

Lu Xiao was actually the godson of Liu Mingshu.

That was Liu Mingshu, a legend of the Goo Clan...
