Chapter 36 Killing for the First Time

Lu Yao cautiously followed the g**g of criminals who kidn*pped Lin Jiayi. But he became more worried as it was getting dark.

He knew that several people who had fought against them last night were chasing after them and these bandits had planned to reach the Black Dragon Pond before dark and escape with the help of some local criminals under cover of darkness.

If they succeeded, it would be more difficult to rescue Lin Jiayi. And it was not beyond the bounds of possibility that Lin Jiayi would be brutally killed or taken out of the country by these foreign criminals at some point in time.

Lu Yao did some quick thinking while following them, trying to find a way to stop them and successfully rescue Lin Jiayi.

It was unwise to attack them from behind. Lu Yao was not sure if he could defeat the four of them. Even if he could subdue one or two of them quietly, the middle-aged man called Brother Tiger would certainly notice him. Lu Yao knew that Ba Song had a g*n, but he wasn't sure if Brother Tiger had a g*n.

Lu Yao carefully thought about the changes, which had happened to his body during this period.

Since his heart transplant operation, Lu Yao's memory and perception had been greatly improved. He could not only memorize a lot of things easily but also hear sounds that ordinary people couldn't hear. But these couldn't help him get out of this dilemma.

So he could only start with strength. After cultivating Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills, Lu Yao, who had reached Ru Wei of Refining the Body and Strengthening the Skin, was not invulnerable but could lift 600 catties.

What did that mean?

It meant that though Lu Yao was not as strong as King Zhou, a historical figure who could pull nine bulls or hold up the beams of a house, Lu Yao could do many things that ordinary people couldn't do.

Lu Yao gradually ordered his thoughts and decided to make full use of his strength.

So Lu Yao began to think of a way to make a detour and lie in wait for them. And then he could look for an opportunity to cut off their escape into Black Dragon Pond.

However, Lu Yao had to take a longer route because he wanted to avoid being noticed by Brother Tiger.

Fortunately, although those bandits were well-trained fighters, they had to move slowly because they had to take Lin Jiayi with them, which gave Lu Yao enough time to implement his plan.

...

About 20 minutes later, Lu Yao arrived at a valley that was not very high but relatively narrow.

The cliffs of this valley were seven or eight meters high. An ordinary person couldn't climb up the cliffs from the valley floor unless he was like Lu Yao who started to climb up from the other side of the valley with the aid of the rolling terrain long ago.

Although this was not the only road, these bandits would have to take some time to make a detour if the whole valley was obstructed.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Lu Yao quickly pushed several boulders, which weighed three or four hundred catties and were so big that several adults could just get their arms around, off the cliff. These boulders just obstructed the mouth of the valley.

"Stay alert!" Hearing the loud noises, Brother Tiger shouted at his companions, "James, Cha Cai, go and find out what happened."

Lu Yao lay and concealed himself on the clifftop, watching their every move carefully.

James and Cha Cai carried out Brother Tiger's orders. They came to the valley and looked up and down for a long time. They didn't return until they were sure that they couldn't pass the barriers.

"Brother Tiger, somehow several boulders suddenly fell from the top of the mountain and blocked the mouth of the valley. James and I looked up and down for a long time. We think that we can't get by!" Cha Cai said to Brother Tiger after he came back.

"We can't get by?" Brother Tiger said thoughtfully.

"Go and check if there is another way. San, you stay here and watch this girl. I'll walk around!" Brother Tiger continued.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Brother Tiger's words, they split up.

Seeing that only San was guarding Lin Jiayi, Lu Yao wanted to save her. However, Brother Tiger was standing between San and Lu Yao. And he also looked at the top of the cliff from time to time. So Lu Yao just remained still for fear that they would hurt Lin Jiayi after they found him.

After a while, those who went out to find the way came back.

"Boss, this valley is not long. We should be able to make a detour around it if we walk about two kilometers northwest!" James told Brother Tiger what he found.

"Well, Cha Cai and San lead the way. James, you bring up the rear." Brother Tiger started to give orders. But when he saw Ba Song, he walked to him slowly, patted him on his shoulder, and said, "We'll lose some time making a detour. I'm afraid that they will catch up with us. Ba Song, you have a g*n. So I hope you can stall them and buy time for us!"

The others were about to move forward quickly. Hearing what Brother Tiger said, they stopped and looked at Ba Song.

Ba Song, who would be left behind, said softly, "Brother Tiger, please take care of my families in the future!"

"Rest assured, bro. I'll treat your families as my families. I will take good care of them!" After saying that, Brother Tiger took Lin Jiayi's arm and ran forward.

In fact, Ba Song knew that although he had a g*n, he couldn't defeat those guys who fought with them last night. He would surely die if he stayed here. However, Brother Tiger did treat him and his family well these years. If Brother Tiger hadn't saved him last night, he might have been dead.

After the others left, Ba Song found a vantage point. He leaned against a boulder, took off his mask, and threw it aside. And then he rubbed his face hard.

When Ba Song took off his mask, Lu Yao saw his face clearly.

It was a typical Tayi face. He had black hair and yellow skin. His two big buckteeth propped up his upper lip. There was a terrible scar on his right eye. And the upper and lower eyelids were stuck together. Apparently, he was a one-eyed person.

Ba Song was obviously an expert. From his concealed vantage point, he would notice Lu Yao if Lu Yao wanted to pursue the others. Therefore, if Lu Yao didn't kill Ba Song, he couldn't continue following the others at all!

Lu Yao hardened his heart and decided to get rid of this guy named Ba Song first.

However, Ba Song had a g*n and he had nothing at all. What should he do?

When Lu Yao started to rack his brains to think of a way, he suddenly saw Ba Song putting aside an old-fashioned shotgun, taking out a cigarette from his pocket, and slowly lighting it.

Opportunity knocked but once!

Lu Yao quickly leaped towards Ba Song from the top of the cliff. After taking a few leaps, Lu Yao was only seven or eight meters away from Ba Song. He picked up two palm-sized stones and hurled them at Ba Song with all his might.

Ba Song finally realized something was wrong. But he managed to dodge a stone rolling towards his head because he was quick in movement.

However, the other stone landed right on the old-fashioned shotgun he put aside. Lu Yao just threw the stone with all his strength. So it could be imagined that this stone was capable of doing significant damage.

The whole shotgun was out of shape and completely useless.

At this time, Ba Song finally saw Lu Yao's face. However, he was obviously stunned when he saw Lu Yao. He could not imagine that a high school student in school uniform would have such great power. From seven or eight meters away, the student threw a stone and his shotgun just became useless. And another stone even made a deep pit in the place where he just sat.

"Who are you?" Ba Song stared at Lu Yao and asked. His whole bearing was alert.

Lu Yao just looked at him without saying a word.

"Why did you disguise yourself as a student? What on earth do you want to do? Where are your associates?" Ba Song didn't believe that Lu Yao was a real high school student. So he thought that he was one of those who chased after them.

Lu Yao remained silent. But he suddenly launched an attack. Because he lacked experience in fighting, he chose to launch a pre-emptive strike.

Ba Song was completely irritated by Lu Yao's behavior. He took out a machete that was about 40 centimeters in length from behind and hurled himself upon Lu Yao.

After all, Lu Yao was still a student. And he was a good student who seldom fought with others. For the first time, he confronted such a ferocious bandit face to face. He was really nervous and his heart started to beat more quickly.

Ba Song stared at Lu Yao murderously and ran fast. But Lu Yao made a sudden dodge aside. Neither of them was hurt when they fought for the first time.

Although Ba Song was a one-eyed person, he could attack Lu Yao at exactly the right time. Whenever Lu Yao left himself vulnerable while moving around, Ba Song could seize the opportunity to attack him.

Ba Song had more combat experience than Lu Yao did and attacked fiercely. But Lu Yao was also very agile and could dodge the enemy's assault in time.

For a few minutes, neither of them had the upper hand!

More than ten rounds were fought. As Ba Song kept attacking him, Lu Yao gradually had figured out his opponent and found his weak points.

Each time Ba Song attacked Lu Yao, he wielded the machete from right to left. Maybe it was because Ba Song knew that he couldn't see things on the right clearly since he was blind in the right eye. He wanted to force his opponent to move to the left because the sight in his left eye was better. In this way, he could attack the opponent and defend himself easily.

Lu Yao discerned his intent. Therefore, when Ba Song wielded his machete again, Lu Yao quickly performed the Knock Step that he learned in the martial arts school last time. He quickly bent and took the Knock Step to the right. The instant Ba Song wielded his machete, Lu Yao appeared at his right and abruptly kicked his ribs on the right side of his body.

"c***k!"

There was a splintering sound as bones broke. Ba Song fell to the ground. The right side of his body was dented in. Blood was pouring out of his mouth.

"You..."

Looking at the right side of his body that was dented in, Ba Song couldn't believe that he had fractured all the ribs on the right side after so many years of practice of boxing just by one blow of Lu Yao.

However, though he didn't believe it, he had no chance of speaking again after saying one word. He slowly lay prone on the ground.

This was the first time Lu Yao had killed a person since he started to cultivate. Although he killed a bad man, he was still shocked by what he saw.

Lu Yao didn't know what words he could use to describe how he was feeling.

The pleasure of killing?

Absolutely not!

Being guilty or regretful?

Neither!
