Chapter 369: Cutting Weeds Without Removing the Roots, They Spring Again with the Breeze of Spring!
With a sudden burst of speed, Lu Yu swiftly blurred past the two men. Instantly, they felt a sharp pain in their throats, followed by a rush of hot, crimson blood that sprayed out, leaving them collapsing to the ground, bodies twitching before lying lifeless!
Witnessing the scene before them, everyone else felt a sudden flash of panic in their hearts!
If Lu Yu's previous instant killing of those seven or eight people was just a surprise move, this was truly a display of his strength!
It was clear that his side had initially struck first, and everyone had been mentally prepared, leaving no room for oversight or complacency!
Yet, even so, in that brief instant, two companions were swiftly killed by Lu Yu in a single encounter, indicating that Lu Yu's strength far exceeded theirs by several times!
Realizing this, the Jin Family disciples who were initially charging ahead subconsciously slowed their pace, as their hearts were now entirely consumed by fear!
Despite being fully focused, two companions were still killed instantly in one face-off, such disparity truly struck fear into all of them!
At that moment, everyone's morale crumbled, and their fighting spirit vanished!
"Hehehe"
At this moment, seeing all the Jin Family disciples before him, Lu Yu let out a sinister smile and then said, "Fear makes one sluggish, and dread brings death!"
With these words, Lu Yu's figure flickered, and he dashed directly into the crowd, his whole body like a blade, moving at lightning speed across everyone's throats, so fast it was astonishing!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Minutes later, with a series of dull thuds of bodies hitting the ground, the remaining dozen or so Jin Family disciples all clutched their throats, collapsing to the floor, with each of their throats slit open, blood gushing out like a stream, a chilling sight to behold!
In less than half an hour, the originally formidable forty Jin Family disciples were dead or seriously injured, leaving only one man feigning madness in the corner!
At this moment, looking at his dead companions on the ground, breathing in the intense metallic scent in the air, this lone man trembled violently!
At this moment, he realized that their attempt to assassinate Lu Yu was as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely overestimating their own abilities!
Compared to Lu Yu, their strength wasn't even on the same level, and apart from being slaughtered one-sidedly, they had no power to retaliate at all!
"Now, now I've done everything you instructed me to do, can't you let me go?"
The man's teeth chattered slightly, and facing Lu Yu, who killed as if slicing vegetables, his heart was filled with panic and fear!
"There's an old saying, I wonder if you've heard of it?"
Hearing the man's words, Lu Yu spoke lightly at this moment, his tone filled with a sense of calmness.
"What, what saying?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the man trembled as he asked, his voice full of fear.
"Cut the grass without removing the roots, it will sprout again with the spring breeze!"
At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly stomped on the ground, causing a knife scattered at his feet to bounce into his hand.
"Besides, you've seen me in the act of killing, I can't leave you alive!"
As he spoke, Lu Yu's fingers traced the blade of the knife, smiling slightly as he spoke, with a hint of a chilling killing intent in his smile!
Hearing these words, in an instant, the man seemed to realize something, trembled and tried to get up, but his legs were too scared to exert any strength, he could only speak, trembling: "No, no, you promised to let me go!"
"What a pity, I've changed my mind!"
Hearing the man's words, Lu Yu let out a cold smile, and then with a sharp flick of his wrist, a knife shot out of his hand with a piercing sound, directly into the man's throat!
Whoosh!
With a soft sound, the knife instantly embedded into the man's throat, killing him on the spot!
Seeing the knife embedded in the man's throat, Lu Yu smiled faintly, then showed a trace of coldness on his face, and coldly said, "Now, only Jin Huanzhong is left!"
With that said, Lu Yu's figure moved in an instant, then disappeared into the darkness.
...
At the same time, outside LA City People's Hospital, in a black Maybach.
Jin Huanzhong was sitting in the back seat of the Maybach, eyes slightly closed, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, a soft stream of air flowing in and out of his nose, giving him an almost mystical appearance.
Gradually, Jin Huanzhong's eyes snapped open, and he glanced at LA City People's Hospital not far away, then at the time in the car, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Since his forty disciples had entered LA City People's Hospital, thirty minutes had passed. Although thirty minutes was not long, it was also not short; it was more than enough time to eliminate one person!
Yet, now, he saw neither his disciples coming out nor any movement inside, and everything around was eerily silent, making him feel a sense of unease!
Thinking of this, a trace of chill flashed in Jin Huanzhong's eyes, and he pressed the earpiece on his ear, saying, "How's the task being executed? Respond immediately upon hearing this!"
After these words were spoken, he did not receive the uniform reply he expected, instead, there was a deathly silence!
The earpiece was void of any sound, sounding extremely eerie.
"Hello? What's happening? Anyone who hears, respond immediately!"
Hearing this silence, Jin Huanzhong spoke, his words full of coldness, and now he felt a sense of foreboding, his voice growing increasingly somber.
"Is this Mr. Jin Huanzhong?"
At the instant Jin Huanzhong's words were spoken, a playful voice suddenly transmitted from the earpiece, "My apologies, but your forty disciples have all fallen asleep, and I suspect they won't be able to respond to you in the future!"
Buzz!
With these words, Jin Huanzhong was instantly stunned, a burst of cold killing intent exploding in his eyes!
Unable to respond in the future? Didn't that imply that all his forty disciples had been wiped out!
Within thirty minutes, his handpicked forty elite disciples were completely annihilated; this was something that truly astonished Jin Huanzhong!
