Splurt!

A head burst open, with crimson blood and white brain matter spraying, staining the ferocious wolf-toothed club with shreds of flesh and white bone fragments.

The bandit leader's face and hands were covered in blood. He glanced around; three escort masters were still struggling desperately, trying to break through the encirclement.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

He dragged the wolf-toothed club, charged forward with big strides, and roared, "Get out of my way!"

As the wolf-toothed club swung, Gang Qi exploded, sending the weapons of those three escort masters flying, and then he smashed it down suddenly, causing one escort master's chest to cave in, his body full of bloody holes.

"Ah... ah... let me die!"

The remaining two escort masters were completely terrified, kneeling on the ground with a thud, kowtowing desperately.

"Spare us, spare us, have mercy, sir!"

The bandit leader sneered, swinging the wolf-toothed club down with a splat, breaking a leg of each escort master, leaving their legs full of dense, bloody holes as they howled miserably, rolling on the ground.

"Bring those two newcomers over!"

He gave an order, and immediately a lackey responded, ran over, and called Lu Chengfeng and Li Mo over.

"The two of you, take one each, cut off their heads, and from now on, you'll be brothers."

The bandit leader, face smeared with blood, leaned on the wolf-toothed club with both hands, grinning to reveal a mouthful of yellow teeth stained with blood and bits of meat.

"I'm Lang San'er, one of the twelve leaders of the outer fortress. Everyone show respect and call me Wolf Lord."

"I don't care where you're from or what your purpose is. Obey me, and if I say kill, you kill; if I say burn, you burn. Then we're brothers."

"Come on, let's see blood first today. Who's going first?"

Lu Chengfeng listened to the hysteria of the two escort masters on the ground, watching them roll madly as blood flowed endlessly, his lowered eyes cold as ice.

Not far from the two carriages, the screams of women and the cries of infants could be heard.

"I'll do it!"

He picked up the iron saber and walked toward one of the escort masters.

However, at this moment, Li Mo had already slashed viciously, precisely stabbing the throat of one, causing the person to twitch a few times before dying.

"Damn it, I told you to cut off his head, are you deaf?" Wolf Lord slapped him hard, leaving Li Mo's left cheek swollen as he fell to the ground.

Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath, silently using the nearly rusty iron saber, suddenly hacking at the living escort master.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes...

The neck too hard, the bone too hard, after a total of fifteen slashes, was that head finally chopped off.

Lu Chengfeng held the head and threw it at Wolf Lord's feet, calling out, "Wolf Lord."

"Hahaha!" Lang San'er laughed loudly, "Not bad, you're a real man. From now on, follow me, and as long as I have a bite to eat, you won't go hungry."

"But your brother here is a bit useless, dawdling when it comes to beheading. In our line of work, besides loyalty, the most important is to obey."

"If you don't obey, then you're not one of us, and don't blame me for being impolite."

He instructed a lackey beside him, "Bring two of the most outstanding-looking women from the carriage over."

"We have new brothers joining today, let them have the first taste."

"Got it, Wolf Lord." The lackey immediately ran off.

Lang San'er said to Lu Chengfeng, "Don't say your older brother isn't looking out for you. Today, those in the carriage are the young wives of Dong's Escort Agency and the new concubine of the chief escort. Each one is as beautiful as water, their looks, their skin, you could squeeze water from it."

While he was speaking, three or four lackeys dragged two women over. One was plump, still nursing, holding a few-months-old baby. The other had a good appearance and was much more slender.

The two were forcibly dragged over, crying like rain-drenched pear blossoms, unable to speak from tears, not even daring to look directly at the bodies on the ground, trembling in fear.

"Alright, the people have been brought over for you two brothers. Do it right here." Lang San'er said with a laugh.

"These women are something, damn, even I can't resist." A bandit directly unfastened his belt.

"Hahaha!"

"I say, you two brothers hurry up, the others are still waiting!"

"Exactly, exactly, it's been a long time since we've come across such top-grade goods..."

Lu Chengfeng listened to the cries of the women and babies, the laughter and curses of the bandits, as if flames burned in his chest.

At this point, Li Mo suddenly climbed up from the ground, limping to Lu Chengfeng's side, calling out, "Brother..."

Before he could finish, he just stared blankly at Lu Chengfeng.

After a brief pause, seeing Lu Chengfeng unmoved, he lowered his head, limping towards the woman with the baby.

"Hahaha, your brother was so cowardly when beheading, who knew he's a pervert, liking women, hahaha!" Lang San'er laughed, "I'm different; I prefer young girls, that taste is really... unforgettable..."

Li Mo reached the woman, watching her tremble all over, her legs giving way as she collapsed to the ground, a wet patch beneath her, yet she still clutched her child tightly.

Her hair was a tangled mess, pulled by someone, and she kept her eyes tightly shut, tears streaming down as she shouted, "Hero, do whatever you want with me, my son is only five months old. Spare his life, spare his life..."

Li Mo said nothing and slowly turned his back to the woman, quietly raising his saber towards Lang San.

"Yo, kid, did you eat a leopard's gall? You dare point a saber at the Wolf Lord, seems like you have a death wish."

No need for Lang San to speak, one of the minions shouted out, someone brandishing a saber rushed forward directly, "I'll waste you!"

"Alas!" Lu Chengfeng slowly closed his eyes, "What a pity!"

Pshh! Pshh! Pshh!

Three heads flew up, headless bodies toppled over, blood gushing like spring water, staining the ground red.

"Ha, skilled fighter!" Lang San twisted his neck, making crisp popping sounds, "Every time we encounter this, we find a few so-called knights trying to infiltrate the stronghold."

"Hahaha... You two bratty kids as well?"

"Why? Can't bear it anymore? Want to play hero and save the beauty?"

"Hahaha!"

The minions nearby laughed madly, accustomed to such scenes, not surprised at all.

Lang San dragged his bloodstained and meat-covered wolf-toothed club, walking towards Lu Chengfeng, his stature six feet tall, robust and burly, muscles knotted, resembling a demon.

"I'll smash your skull!"

He suddenly lifted the wolf-toothed club, creating a gust of wind, swinging it fiercely at Lu Chengfeng.

"Those who pursue evil shall perish!"

Lu Chengfeng sighed, his rusty iron saber sharper than a hundred forged refined iron blade.

Clang!

With a chop, the approaching wolf-toothed club made a crisp sound, split in two directly.

Lu Chengfeng's iron saber was shrouded in a cold light, tearing through the gale in a moment, cleaving onto Lang San's head.

Schweeek!

Despite being flesh and blood, the sound was akin to ripping silk, a flash of sword qi passed, neatly splitting the burly body along the nose bridge.

The towering figure paused briefly, then fell to the ground, internal organs and colorful intestines spilled everywhere.

All the bandits around were stunned, someone shrieked, turned around, and fled into the forest without looking back.

Pshh! Pshh! Pshh!

Lu Chengfeng pursued with his blood-dripping saber, one by one, within just ten breaths, over forty living bandits lay dead on the ground.

The farthest runner didn't escape beyond ten zhang.

When he reached Li Mo, covered in blood, he expected Li Mo to explain why he disrupted their plan, rendering all previous efforts futile.

Lu Chengfeng even thought, considering Li Mo's family was slaughtered by bandits when he was young, his reluctance to act was understandable.

However, Li Mo looked at him with somewhat unfamiliar eyes, "Senior Brother, you have changed."

Lu Chengfeng was slightly stunned, frowned, "What are you talking about?"

Li Mo's voice was slightly hoarse and low, "You are human, not a beast."

"For your own goals, mercilessly killing strangers, how are you different from those bandits?"

Lu Chengfeng's expression turned cold, "Junior Brother, these bandits have killed countless passersby. If we didn't come, Dong's Escort Agency would still end up dead."

"We didn't cause their death; saving them today was for your sake, otherwise, if they all died, it wouldn't concern me."

"And when we achieve our goal, I'll slaughter every bandit on Three Immortals Mountain, avenging Dong's Escort Agency and everyone who perished by their hands, and prevent future victims."

"Neither you nor I owe anything to Dong's Escort Agency."

Li Mo looked up at his senior brother, who saved his life, taught him martial arts, like a father, akin to a brother.

He tightly gripped his iron saber, "But Senior Brother, we are human, sharing in the sorrow, how can you watch these innocent people be killed?"

"If not for your rescue, how am I different from those in the Escort Agency?"

"I don't understand why you learned martial arts, Senior Brother?"

For the first time, Lu Chengfeng heard Li Mo speak so much, he looked at his junior brother, witnessing his helpless look, spoke coldly, "Junior Brother, this is a world of the strong devouring the weak; if you aren't strong enough when facing such matters, you can only cry, shout, and wait for death."

"If I hadn't been there, daring to do this, you'd die worse than those in the Escort Agency."

Li Mo took a deep breath, straightened his back, looked at his senior brother, stating firmly, "People will die eventually."

Holding his blood-dripping saber, Lu Chengfeng said, "So I want to live longer, to control my destiny."

"I don't want to argue further; you'll understand someday, how do you plan to handle them?"
