As Lu Qing pursued the Heart-SnatcherWolf, the gamblers who had been terrified in the wooden building slowly began to rise from the ground, trembling. They stared at the headless corpses on the second floor and the blood streaming down, their bodies shaking. Yet, they dared not flee the building, fearing they might encounter that deadly star outside. They could only hope that the Vige Chief would kill the deadly star, ensuring their safety.


    ying several leaders of Happy Fort took Lu Qing almost no time. When he leaped out from the second floor, he immediately spotted the Heart-SnatcherWolf trying to escape by hiding behind a small building.


    “Heart-SnatcherWolf! You can''t escape!” Lu Qing shouted, his voice echoing for miles. Hended, Blood Qi surging, and shot towards the small building.


    “Kid, don''t push me too far!” The Heart-SnatcherWolf didn''t expect Lu Qing to catch up so quickly. Exposed, he immediately fled in another direction.


    “Today, you will die without a doubt!” The two began a deadly chase through the vige.


    "Lu, the young brother, has indeed infiltrated!" Outside Happy Fort, Mago, who had been waiting impatiently, heard the shouts and was overjoyed but puzzled.


    “Howe it sounds like Lu is gaining the upper hand inside?” Regardless, Mago didn''t want to wait any longer. The entire afternoon had tormented him. On one hand, he worried if Lu Qing had been silently dealt with by Happy Fort’s people. On the other, he feared that barging in might ruin Lu Qing’s n. This uncertainty was agonizing. In hindsight, he should have insisted on apanying Lu Qing from the start.


    “Go, they''re fighting inside. Let''s get ready to move.” As Mago and his men headed over, Lu Qing finally caught up with the Heart-SnatcherWolf. Despite their simr ranks, the Heart-SnatcherWolf was already injured, affecting his mobility. Lu Qing shed down, and though the Heart-SnatcherWolf blocked with his arm, he was forced back several steps, leaning against a wall, panting.


    “So, it’s an arm guard. No wonder it’s so tough, blocking two of my strikes.” Lu Qing noticed the steel arm guard hidden under the Heart-SnatcherWolf’s torn sleeve.“Kid, must you kill me?” The Heart-SnatcherWolf panted, eyes full of ferocity.


    “Scum like you can’t wash away your sins even if you die a hundred times,” Lu Qing said coldly.


    “What do you want to spare me, money, or women? I have plenty, all yours!” the Heart-SnatcherWolf growled.


    “I want your life!” Lu Qing stopped talking and shed again.


    “Think you can kill me that easily?” Realizing Lu Qing wouldn’t spare him, the Heart-SnatcherWolf went all out. His face twisted, he mustered his Blood Qi, and charged at Lu Qing. Skilled in hand-to-handbat, he needed to get close to have a chance against Lu Qing’s long de. But Lu Qing had seen through his intentions. The information from his abilities revealed the Heart-SnatcherWolf’s expertise in hand-to-handbat. As the Heart-SnatcherWolf tried to close the distance, Lu Qing swung his de, forcing him back with a single strike. Undeterred, the Heart-SnatcherWolf dodged the de and lunged again, only to be repelled once more. This time, he couldn’t entirely evade the de. A bloody wound appeared on his right shoulder, nearly severing his arm. Already injured internally, this new wound further slowed him down.


    But he had no choice. It was either him or Lu Qing. Only by closing in within three feet of Lu Qing could he hope to survive. Otherwise, he would eventually be in.


    Thus, their fight reached a stalemate. The Heart-SnatcherWolf desperately tried to close the distance, while Lu Qing’s de kept him at bay. Despite their simr ranks, they were evenly matched, locked in a deadly struggle.


    Despair grew in the Heart-SnatcherWolf’s heart. He couldn’t understand why Lu Qing’s de skills were so superior. His techniques seemed simple, yet no matter what he tried, he couldn’t break through.


    In a moment of despair, the Heart-SnatcherWolf faltered and suffered another wound, this time to his leg, causing his movements tog. Seizing the opportunity, Lu Qing’s eyes shed with determination. He burst forth with Blood Qi, shing at the Heart-SnatcherWolf’s neck.


    “Spare me…” The Heart-SnatcherWolf’s plea was cut short as Lu Qing’s de severed his head.


    After decapitating the Heart-SnatcherWolf, Lu Qing wasted no time. He swiftly moved towards the trembling members of Happy Fort who were watching from a distance. He hadn’t forgotten his goal: to annihte Happy Fortpletely.


    “Ah! Spare us!” The members of Happy Fort were terrified, their fear intensified by the sight of their chief being so swiftly decapitated. They begged for mercy, but Lu Qing’s resolve remained unshaken.


    A massacre began.


    “Hero, spare me, spare me!”


    “I have silver, it’s all yours!”


    “Just spare me, and it’s all yours!”


    In front of the wooden building, Zhao Lao San knelt, holding a pouch of silver, hatred burning in his heart. He had been winning big tonight, only to have everything ruined by this young man. But he dared not show his hatred, terrified that Lu Qing would kill him like the others.


    Seeing Zhao Lao San weeping and begging, Lu Qing’s eyes showed no mercy. With a flick of his de, Zhao Lao San’s pleading ceased as a line of blood appeared on his neck, his head falling. This scene was witnessed by Mago and his men as they entered Happy Fort.
