Chapter 10: How Dare You Defecate?

“Brother, what are you doing?” Upon seeing Lu Wei acting suspiciously, Lu Xiaoxiao felt that her brother’s condition might have worsened again.

Lu Wei chuckled without saying a word. He had already hidden the two field mice so the little girl wouldn’t see them and start nagging about it again.

He planned to wait for the right moment after returning to surprise her with them.

“I just defecated,” Lu Wei casually said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, looking at Lu Wei like a little adult.

“Brother, how dare you do that? We’ve only had two full meals, and now you’re defecating? Isn’t that too extravagant?”

Lu Wei: …

Indeed, defecating was somewhat of a luxury for them.

“Alright, alright, I know. It’s just that I couldn’t hold it any longer. Let’s get going.”

Once again pulling the sled, Lu Wei felt much lighter.

Previously, he would need to stop and rest after dragging it for about half an hour.

Now, he could pull it all the way until noon without breaking a sweat.

The improvement in Constitution enhanced his overall physical fitness, strengthening every aspect of his body.

At this point, Lu Wei’s combat ability wasn’t far behind that of an average novice martial artist.

Even yesterday’s guard who told him to scram wasn’t significantly stronger than Lu Wei in terms of physical fitness.

What he lacked was fighting experience and specialized Skills of a martial artist.

Of course, Lu Wei certainly didn’t dare to provoke the guards; these were just thoughts and curses in his mind.

However, even if he dared, he wouldn’t have the chance today.

Because the person responsible for guarding the rear of the trading group had changed today.

It was a rugged-looking middle-aged man.

This man had only one hand, several scars on his face, and one scar even crossed over his eye.

In his hand, he held a long sword. His single remaining eye glared with an innate killing intent.

Unlike Lu Wei’s desperate killing intent, this man’s killing intent seemed to emanate from deep within his bones, making anyone who met his gaze feel chilled to the bone.

Sensing that this man was not someone to be trifled with, Lu Wei kept his distance from the caravan, following far behind.

However, to his surprise, while he wanted to avoid trouble, the man approached him.

Lu Wei was pulling the sled, lost in thought, when suddenly a shadow blocked his path, startling him.

Looking up, he saw the one-eyed, one-armed man scrutinizing him, making him feel cold all over.

“What do you want, sir?” Lu Wei asked cautiously, eyeing the man who had suddenly appeared before him.

Although the people in this trading group had never actively made things difficult for refugees like them, the absence of hostility did not mean it wouldn’t happen. Caution was still necessary.

The man looked at Lu Wei once more before asking, “Martial artist?”

His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against stone.

Lu Wei looked at the man blankly, pointing to himself.

“Martial artist? Me? I haven’t practiced martial arts.”

The man furrowed his brows, seemingly perplexed.

Such a strong Essence Blood, even reaching the level where blood energy rose, yet he wasn’t a martial artist.

But if he were a martial artist, his footsteps didn’t match. They were clearly powerful but disordered, not resembling a martial artist.

However, the man quickly relaxed his brows.

Whether or not he was a martial artist, a test would reveal the truth.

Swish!

If you find this book enjoyable, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing track of it next time.

The one-eyed man directly drew his long sword and slashed at Lu Wei.

When Lu Wei saw the man draw his sword, his expression changed.

With the sword out, it was clear that the man didn’t intend to invite him to dinner.

Damn, was this guy insane? He hadn’t provoked him, and they were quite far from the trading group. Why attack him?

However, there was no time to think further.

Lu Wei quickly retreated a few steps to create distance and simultaneously drew his wood-cutting knife.

Though he didn’t understand why the man attacked him, since the fight had started, he couldn’t surrender.

So what if he was a martial artist? Did he really think he was afraid?

Well, he was a bit scared inside.

Just moments ago, he had been fantasizing about beating up the martial artist who insulted him yesterday.

But when faced with actual combat against a martial artist, he felt uncertain.

The one-armed martial artist’s slash came extremely fast, like a streak of silver light, carrying a chilling killing intent, arriving in front of Lu Wei in an instant, aiming for a downward strike.

Lu Wei had never felt death so close.

At this moment, he truly regretted following the trading group so closely. Camping later wouldn’t have killed him.

He regretted not realizing earlier that this was a cultivation world. If he had some Cultivation Level, he wouldn’t be in this situation today.

But it was too late for regrets now.

He had to fight for his life, even knowing it might end in death.

Instinctively, he raised his wood-cutting knife to block.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Though it was a single slash, there were three consecutive impacts.

Lu Wei felt his arm go numb instantly, causing him to lose grip on his knife, which fell to the ground.

However, the middle-aged martial artist didn’t spare him just because he dropped his weapon.

The blade turned, heading straight for his neck.

If struck, Lu Wei would surely join Ma San and Chen Qi.

In desperation, Lu Wei rolled to the side, narrowly dodging the blow.

But as he tried to get up and run, he felt a heavy kick to his butt, sending him face-first into the snow.

The icy snowflakes clung to his face, chilling his heart.

Damn it, in his next life, he would definitely cultivate, cultivate fiercely, reach the highest levels, never to be bullied again, and never die so disgracefully.

Just as Lu Wei thought he was done for, a childish voice suddenly rang out behind him.

“Don’t you dare hurt my brother!”

Hearing this, Lu Wei hurriedly turned back, snarling, “Xiaoxiao, run!”

As he spoke, Lu Wei lunged forward, grabbing the middle-aged man’s leg in an attempt to prevent him from chasing Xiaoxiao.

He knew he had no chance of survival, but he had to buy Xiaoxiao some time to escape.

Though he understood that it was almost impossible for a child like Xiaoxiao to escape from a martial artist, this was all he could do.

Never had Lu Wei felt so powerless and weak as he did today.

He finally understood that in the world of martial artists, strength was everything.

With strength, you could control others’ lives and act as you pleased.

Without strength, you were like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

“Damn it, let go of my brother!” Lu Xiaoxiao didn’t run. Instead, she picked up Lu Wei’s fallen stripper and charged at the middle-aged martial artist like a madwoman.
