Brutal Homicide

Wu Hao felt a sense of satisfaction. He hadn't realized there were people in the academy who shared his perspective, who were eager to kill just like he was. It brought him closer to Lu Yunxiao and deepened his positive impression of him. This was camaraderie on the same path.

Wu Hao found himself appreciating Lu Yunxiao's heroism. Beneath his composed exterior was a hidden ferocity, a concealed passion for killing. This made Wu Hao feel a sense of kinship.

However, the three fighters were sent shivers down their spines. The two individuals in front of them were discussing killing with such casualness, as if it was just a mundane activity for them. Their nonchalant attitudes were unsettling.

Lu Yunxiao paid no attention to the reactions of the three fighters. His gaze shifted to Wu Hao, and his left hand summoned the Feihong Sword. He gently played with the blade, watching the light dance on its surface.

...

About two hours later, Lu Yunxiao and his companions resumed their patrol.

Holding the Feihong Sword in his left hand, Lu Yunxiao's gaze was as sharp as his blade, sweeping across the street.

The sun in the sky blazed like fire, radiating light and heat as the noon hour approached.

"It's getting late. Let's find a place to eat and then continue patrolling after we've eaten."

Lu Yunxiao looked at the sky and whispered to Wu Hao.

"Sure!" Wu Hao replied, the morning had passed, and he was feeling quite hungry.

With a nod from Wu Hao, Lu Yunxiao chose a random restaurant, and the group entered.

"Oh, we have guests. How many of you will be dining?"

Upon seeing Lu Yunxiao and the others enter, the waiter hurried over, wearing a welcoming smile.

"Please bring us the specialties from your menu."

Lu Yunxiao waved his hand, speaking nonchalantly.

"Of course. Please follow me to the second floor." The waiter smiled and led Lu Yunxiao and the others upstairs.

As they climbed the stairs, a loud clatter echoed from the second floor, followed by the sound of tables and chairs crashing to the ground, accompanied by the shattering of dishes.

"Your lousy establishment dares to serve them food before me? I've been waiting for ages, and my food hasn't even arrived. Do you really think so little of me?"

A rough voice resounded from the second floor.

"Sir, the guests at that table placed their orders earlier. Your food will be ready shortly."

A trembling voice responded, a hint of fear evident.

"Damn it! You're obviously looking down on me. I've been a dominant figure in the Black Point region for years, and no one dares to disrespect me. Yet you dare? You're seeking death!"

The rough voice erupted again, anger seeping into his words.

"Guest, please!" A high-pitched, terrified voice pleaded.

"Uh-oh, something's happening." Lu Yunxiao and Wu Hao exchanged glances, immediately springing into action.

"Thief, how dare you!" Lu Yunxiao had just reached the second floor when he spotted a burly middle-aged man gripping a waiter by the throat. Just as he was about to attack, Lu Yunxiao shouted. He hurled his Flying Rainbow Sword at the man.

However, it was too late. The middle-aged man had already crushed the waiter's throat, flinging the lifeless body in Lu Yunxiao's direction.

Simultaneously, a burst of bloody light erupted from the man's body. This was the result of a pill he had taken upon entering Heping Town. When someone was killed, a crimson glow would emanate from the assailant.

"You're courting death!" Lu Yunxiao placed the corpse on the ground, his expression turning icy cold as his eyes gleamed with murderous intent.

Nobody could have predicted that such a minor incident would lead to the man violently killing someone. Was he truly a desperado from the Blackhorn Realm?

He was ruthless and arrogant, showing blatant disregard for their presence.

"Hey, they say the law enforcement team at Canaan College is powerful. Who would've thought you kids were part of it? Hahaha, you've really tickled me."

The middle-aged man burst into laughter. This was his first time in Heping Town, and his understanding of the law enforcement team was limited. He had been cautious at first due to the Black Point Region's rumors, but over time, his arrogance had grown. Now he had gone so far as to commit murder.

Seeing young law enforcement members like Lu Yunxiao and Wu Hao only fueled his ego. He was even beginning to doubt the law enforcement team's strength. Perhaps those Black Point region folks were simply too timid, causing the law enforcement team to exaggerate their power.

"Is that amusing?" Lu Yunxiao's expression remained indifferent, his gaze icy.

"Wu Hao!" Lu Yunxiao called out softly, and Wu Hao nodded, gripping his heavy sword and charging forward alongside Lu Yunxiao.

"Hey, don't know what you're trying to do, but you're digging your own graves. I'll grant your wishes."

Seeing Lu Yunxiao and Wu Hao approach, the middle-aged man smirked, his eyes gleaming with fierceness.

A Nine Star Fighter, the middle-aged man was confident that these two younglings couldn't contend with him. He considered them little more than cubs.

"Sword Qi Long River!"

"Blood Sword Slash!"

Lu Yunxiao and Wu Hao unleashed their techniques simultaneously. Their Flying Rainbow Sword and Blood Sword emitted intense sword radiance as they surged towards the man.

"Sweep Thousands of Troops!" The middle-aged man roared, wielding his large knife. The blade's sharp light clashed with Lu Yunxiao and Wu Hao's attacks.

"Boom!" The collision sent shockwaves rippling out. Tables and chairs were lifted off the ground, and the walls suffered scratches from the overwhelming force.

Lu Yunxiao and Wu Hao staggered back three steps, and the middle-aged man was propelled back, crashing into a windowsill.

"This isn't good. It's a tough one. Damn it!" The middle-aged man cursed inwardly as he collided with the windowsill.

The window shattered into pieces as the man's body was propelled through it. He tumbled onto the street and dashed away.

"Don't even think of escaping!" Lu Yunxiao jumped down from the windowsill, and Wu Hao followed closely behind. Upstairs, the three fighters remained stunned.

On the street, the man fled for his life. He now realized the power of the law enforcement team. He hadn't expected the two young rookies to repel him. He regretted his impulsive act of murder.

But it was too late for regrets; he could only keep running.

Lu Yunxiao held his Flying Rainbow Sword, hot on the man's heels. Tapping his foot, he sprinted after him.

"Get out of my way! Move!" The man roared as pedestrians scrambled to avoid him, fearing trouble.

Lu Yunxiao pursued relentlessly, his determination unwavering.
