Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Opening a Gourd for the Third Young Miss

Lu Xiao didn’t utter a single superfluous word. Before Luo Hanyi could even swing her sword, with a shout, he had already thrown the brick in his hand.

Target: Luo Hanyi’s head.

At that moment, the distance between Lu Xiao and Luo Hanyi was less than five meters. Wrapped in Lu Xiao’s Inner Qi, the brick arrived in an instant.

Of course, it wasn’t just fast.

The angle was extremely tricky; it even spun wildly in the air, tracing a curve.

Not to mention Luo Hanyi couldn’t block it, Lu Xiao felt he probably couldn’t have blocked it either.

The curve took a downward trajectory, a perfect elevator pitch.

Moreover, the timing of this throw was captured with unparalleled precision, exactly at the moment when Luo Hanyi’s Inner Qi was concentrated at the sword tip, the skill about to be unleashed but not yet released.

Bang!

The next moment, the brick tore through the protective Inner Qi in front of Luo Hanyi and hit right in the middle of her forehead.

The entire Martial Arts Arena, dead silent.

As the brick hit the ground, the Inner Qi on Luo Hanyi’s long sword also quietly disappeared.

At the same time, from the smooth and fair forehead of Luo Hanyi, blood slowly seeped out, then dripped down her cheeks.

"Hey, I hurt you, that’s thirty thousand in salary." Lu Xiao’s voice rang out.

"Damn it! What are you doing!"

"Third Young Miss, how are you? Are you all right?"

"Lu Xiao, you’re insane!" The guards and servants all rushed to Luo Hanyi’s side, extremely anxious.

In their eyes, Luo Hanyi was like a perfect goddess.

She was aloof, beautiful, and strong.

But now, someone had taken a brick and cracked open the head of a goddess.

Hearing everyone’s accusations, Lu Xiao curled his lips. What do you mean, I’m insane? Isn’t this what Luo Hanyi asked for?

She told me to give it my all, she said if I hurt her it’d be ten times the salary.

I couldn’t possibly turn down ten times the salary, right? Besides, I already held back. If I had struck with full force, if I had truly fought a life or death battle, Luo Hanyi wouldn’t just have blood flowing from her head, her skull would be pierced through.

"Everyone step back." Luo Hanyi’s voice rose.

Immediately, everyone stepped aside, they dared not disobey Luo Hanyi’s command.

"You... who exactly are you?" Luo Hanyi had already wiped the blood from her face by then, and with Inner Qi wrapped around it, the wound no longer bled.

"Lu Xiao."

"Where do you come from? Royal City? Or perhaps, the Holy Land?" Luo Hanyi’s brows furrowed slightly.

Lu Xiao’s combat prowess was too strong, far surpassing a typical First Level of Transcendent.

Lu Xiao’s real combat level was at least at the Transcendent Third Realm, he could even fight to the death against the Transcendent Third Realm.

Leaping across two levels, that was indeed a bit terrifying.

Apart from the Royal City, apart from the Holy Land, she couldn’t think of any other place that could nurture such a formidable talent.

Lu Xiao initially wanted to say he came from Longdan City, as that was what he had told the guards at the city gate before.

But as the words reached his lips, he held them back.

Telling a slight fib to the guards didn’t matter, they were unlikely to verify it. But Luo Hanyi was different, Mansion Luo was a major family of Xu Hai City.

Xu Hai City bordered Longdan City; if he claimed to be from Longdan City, she might very well send someone to verify it.

The surrounding guards and servants were also startled. What was the Third Young Miss talking about? Lu Xiao came from the Royal City or the Holy Land?

Was he really that frightening?

How could someone from there have come to such a small place as Xu Hai City!

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, just make sure to pay me, I’m leaving." Lu Xiao waved his hand as he spoke, then he left the Martial Arts Arena directly.

Watching Lu Xiao leave, Luo Hanyi became even more convinced that he was from the Royal City or the Holy Land.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so evasive.

"So, the gap is this vast," Luo Hanyi sighed softly.

She had just deeply felt the strength of Lu Xiao.

Strong! Incredibly strong!

Even if she had another chance, even if she didn’t underestimate her opponent, she would still lose.

In terms of both control over Inner Qi and seizing the moment in battle, Lu Xiao was far superior to her.

"No one may speak a word of what happened here today, do you hear me!" Luo Hanyi glanced at the guards and servants, her tone icy.

"Yes!" Several people nodded immediately in agreement.

The fact that Lu Xiao came from the Royal City or the Holy Land was too significant; they wouldn’t dare reveal it even if they had the audacity.

Whether it was the Royal City or those Holy Lands, each was a behemoth-like existence; upsetting them could potentially lead to Xu Hai City’s annihilation.

It wasn’t just their imagination; such events had genuinely occurred.

About a decade ago, one of the four Holy Lands, Ascension Pavilion, had destroyed a city.

The cause was that the Great Pavilion Master’s daughter was kidnapped by a gang while she was out for training.

Furious, the Great Pavilion Master mobilized nearly all of Ascension Pavilion, and within a day, the city where the gang resided was completely obliterated.

It was said that the slaughter was so horrific, the blood ran like rivers, and even stray dogs passing by had to be smacked twice before they could leave.

...

When Lu Xiao returned to the Guard House, around a dozen guards had gathered in the courtyard, engaged in heated discussion.

Lu Xiao slowly exhaled and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hello everyone, I’m the new sparring partner, my name is..."

"Brick Demon is here!"

"Damn, let me get out first."

"Brick Demon is indeed terrifying, even his smile is deadly."

The guards scattered like birds and beasts, still shouting something about the Brick Demon.

In just a few seconds, the courtyard was empty, and the sound of doors banging shut could be heard from the rooms.

Lu Xiao: ???

Was the incident where I used a brick on Luo Hanyi spread that quickly?

It shouldn’t be.

It was probably still due to the impact of earlier incidents where I used stools and bricks on those guards.

"Whatever, it doesn’t matter, I make thirty thousand a month," Lu Xiao wasn’t too concerned, thinking, what do I care if relations aren’t good when I earn a thirty thousand monthly salary.

Money isn’t everything, but it can solve ninety-eight percent of problems and ninety-nine percent of worries.

After entering his room, Lu Xiao lay down on the bed, pondering his next steps.

It is unknown how much time had passed when suddenly a rapid succession of bell ringing erupted.

The bell rang swiftly and urgently, continuous without pause.

It rang well over a hundred times before it stopped.

"At night, everyone return to your rooms," a shout came from outside.

Lu Xiao arched an eyebrow lightly; he had already heard from several groups in the tavern about the dangers that came at night.

"At night, could there actually be monsters?" Lu Xiao muttered quietly.

Here, the onset of night was rapid; within less than fifteen minutes after the bell, the originally bright world began to shift.

It wasn’t merely turning dark, but rather, it turned a sinister blood-red, as if the entire world were splashed with blood.

"Truly bizarre," Lu Xiao watched the eerie scenery outside, feeling a strange nervousness in his heart.

Especially that blood-red sun in the sky, resembling a massive, terrifying eyeball, overlooking all things.

"Something seems... off." Soon, Lu Xiao felt something unusual.

As the world turned dark red, the Inner Qi inside him started to grow restless, and an inner desire emerged, a desire to kill, a desire to destroy.
