The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 289: Nie Caizhu

Shen Luo needed to continue his

“How bold of you two, the government has already sent officers to catch you, are you not afraid and fleeing away?” Shen Luo pretended to be astonished, pointed at the two men and exclaimed.

“Pretty boy, do you know the saying ‘the darkest place is under the candlestick’? Officers are in pursuit of others, they are not aware of us hiding here. Spare the talking, if you don’t scram, we will give you a taste of our knives first.” The two men weren’t scared at all by the threat, instead, they started laughing.

“You two should hold yourselves back. I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was young, I am not afraid of you…” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo continued to pretend to be calm.

The two men didn’t believe a word Shen Luo said because of his frail appearance, so they drew their metal knives and started approaching Shen Luo step by step.

“In case a fight really starts, you should run first.” Shen Luo whispered his instructions to Nie Caizhu.

“You’re unarmed, don’t try to fight them, we should run separately. Surely, one of us would be able to escape.” Nie Caizhu grabbed his sleeves and whispered back.

This remark surprised Shen Luo. The targets of the bandits were Nie Caizhu;if they ran separately, the one who could successfully escape wouldn’t be her.

He turned around and looked at her and saw that although her face was filled with fear, there was a determined look in her eyes. She was already holding her skirt in preparation to run at any time.

“Don’t worry, it’s just two petty thieves. No need to be concerned.” Shen Luo saw this and couldn’t bring himself to continue pretending, so he smiled at her.

Looking at Shen Luo’s warm smile, Nie Caizhu felt inexplicably reassured. The hand that had been gripping her skirt loosened a bit.

“Annoyingly slow, die!” The scar-faced man already felt impatient and ran up with his knife ready to hack at Shen Luo from behind.

“Be careful…” Nie Caizhu gave a startled cry.

Shen Luo still had a smile on his face. He leaned his body slightly to the side to evade the attack, not even turning around.

The blade of the scar-faced man swept across Shen Luo’s clothes and came to a halt against the ground. Shen Luo shot one finger forward against the scar-faced man’s hand that was holding the knife.

“Pop!” With a crisp sound, the scar-faced man’s grip loosened, and the steel knife slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

In his mouth, he let out a mournful cry, his hand bones had been shattered.

Since Shen Luo’s movements were very small, the one-eyed man didn’t know what had happened. He only saw his companion suddenly fell to the ground and howled, so he immediately rushed forward with his knife.

Shen Luo footwork shifted, and in a twinkling his body was in front of the one-eyed man. He held out his hand to lightly press on the man’s neck.

The one-eyed man’s body immediately softened, and his eyeballs rolled up into his head as he fainted.
