Indestructible Primordial Spirit

  Yes, no opportunity, then create one!

  "It's time!" Lu Qi's foot suddenly slipped, revealing a clear opening. An Ze was overjoyed and counterattacked with a slanting slash, the Beast Mouth Big Ring Knife whistling as it brought a deadly aura towards Lu Qi's neck.

  Lu Qi's body suddenly sank, his right leg slid high, and with his left leg as the sole support point, he somehow managed to hold a high-difficulty single-leg iron bridge. As the blade grazed past his face, before the momentum had dissipated, Lu Qi's left arm suddenly sprang out like a monkey's arm, agilely hooking onto An Ze's right hand holding the knife.

  "Hah!" This was the first time Lu Qi had shouted out loud in battle, his eyes glaring with anger, killing intent bursting forth. His body, which had been leaning back, suddenly dodged An Ze's hastily swung left palm with the agility of a monkey hanging upside down from a tree, and then used the centrifugal force from An Ze's right hand to suddenly leap onto An Ze's back.

  Just as An Ze was about to throw Lu Qi away, a sharp wooden thorn suddenly appeared in Lu Qi's hand and stabbed deeply into An Ze's neck.

  “Ah……” An Ze only felt a sharp pain surging towards his brain, his throat seemed to be pierced, he couldn't even cry out in pain. The shadow of death instantly loomed over him, all he wanted was to get rid of this damned kid as soon as possible. The potential of life burst forth in an instant, the power accumulated from years of cultivating the force technique suddenly exploded outwards.

  Lu Qi felt as if he had been punched in the chest, and he let out a muffled groan. His body was forced to move away from An Ze's back, but his hand also pulled out the wooden stake that had been lodged there, leaving behind a shocking blood hole, with blood flowing out like water.

  "Ka……" An Ze suddenly dropped the beast-mouthed large ring knife, desperately pressing against his right neck, stumbling and turning around, looking at Lu Qi who had fallen to the ground and steadied himself, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger.

  The abandoned weapon seemed to have another use, An Ze's hands couldn't stop the bleeding at all, and in an instant, they were dyed a deep red by the surging blood. His body swayed a few times, and An Ze's tall figure crashed down with a loud thud, his body convulsing, but his eyes remained fixed on the bloody wooden stake in Lu Qi's hand.

  Everyone was stunned, as the sudden change was too fast. No one had expected that Lu Qi, who should have been exhausted, would suddenly turn the tables and knock down Da Hu Tou An Ze.

  Xitu was the quickest to react, taking a few strides to reach Anze's side. After glancing at the wound, his face turned pale with shock and he slowly stood up, looking at Ludi: "Anze is dead, Houtu, you win!"

  "Ah..." Lu Kang and Hui Niang suddenly relaxed, fell to the ground, and burst into tears, holding their heads in pain. They had been too tense for a while.

  The crowd erupted in a loud commotion, staring at Lu Qi standing in the middle of the arena. Most people's eyes widened in shock and fear. Yes, fear - a 12-year-old boy had actually killed a warrior with seven layers of courage, this was absolutely a miracle. Thinking about how they usually treated him and his family, if he were to take revenge... This was indeed a heart-pounding thought.

  Especially the tiger head that "blood thorn", and the last blow of viciousness, undoubtedly makes people's hearts have lingering fears. Just a prick in the neck for a second, and a person dies in just a few seconds, although the neck is a vital part, it shouldn't be enough to make a strong martial artist die so quickly, right?

  "He actually killed the head of the Anze household!" Da Gu looked at Lu Qi in horror: "He actually killed the old head of the Anze household, quickly let everyone catch him, or else our northwest household will never have peace again..."

  Everyone is ignorant, and those who were originally worried that Lu Qi would take revenge on them heard this and were greatly moved, shouting in unison, as if they had a tendency to strangle the danger in its cradle.

  "Who dares to catch me?" Lu Qi's "Blood Stinger" flashed, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light, instantly intimidating the group of slaves. Then he coldly stared at Da Gu: "I openly challenged the head of the wealthy family, and our lives are on the line. Even if the master's steward comes, they will only reward me. Who are you to instigate people against me?"

  Originally the one who charged to the front, Da Gu, was now close enough to feel the aura of death emanating from Lu Qi, and a wave of fear floated up in his heart. He had never thought that he would be so afraid when facing a twelve-year-old boy: "I... I..."

  However, when Da Gu's gaze fell on the giant ring knife not far from his feet, he suddenly became vicious and picked up the knife, leaping towards Lu Qi to slash at him. The knife light was swift and fierce, although it had a big gap compared to An Ze, but it also had a few parts of momentum, after all, he was a brave warrior in the northwest, second only to An Ze and Xi Tu.

  "Idiot!" Lu Qi sneered, his body suddenly taking a step forward, nimbly sidestepping the blade and thrusting his right hand out with lightning speed. The "Blood Stinger" stabbed into Da Gu's chest, then followed through with a sweep of his arm, sending Da Gu's sturdy body flying out.

  Blood splattered everywhere, the giant tiger that had fallen to the ground on the slope suddenly stood up, but its eyes were wide with terror as it stared at its own chest. There was a bloody hole there, like a burst dam, and blood gushed out of it, unstoppable.

  "You..." Pointing at Lu Qi, Da Gu was unable to speak for several seconds before crashing to the ground.

  In the blink of an eye, Da Gu died again. Lu Qi's iron-blooded tactics completely intimidated the group of slaves. Originally, Da Feng's expression had been unpredictable, but now he was thoroughly subdued.

  "Taiguai broke the rules and ambushed Hu Tou, he deserved to die!" Xi Tu's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly: "Hu Tou successfully challenged An Ze, the head of our northwest household, and is a brave warrior. The master will surely reward him. From now on, Hu Tou's food allowance will be upgraded to that of a senior household member. Da Kang and Hui Niang's food allowance will also be increased by one level. No one is allowed to discuss Da Kang taking food from the storage again, anyone who disobeys will receive 20 lashes. Do you understand?"

  Taking and stealing, a difference of one word, a difference of a thousand miles. The slaves of the Ze family responded in unison, now that the head of the Anze household is dead, the old head of the Xitu household is undoubtedly the most prestigious person in the northwest, and the Tiger Head Ze has become the most intimidating person. If these two people don't conflict with each other, who else dares to disobey?

  "Thanks, old man!" Lu Qi nodded his head in the direction of Xi Tu. Although Xi Tu hadn't actually taught him any special techniques, he still had a bit of affection for this old fellow who could usually string together a few coherent sentences.

  "No need, you've earned it with your own strength!" The strong are always respected. Xitu responded with a slight bow and continued, "Anze is dead. Before the steward arrives, I will temporarily take over as head of the household. As for this winter's hunt, Tiger Head will lead the team. Tiger Head, do you have any opinions?"

  Lu Qi shook his head: "No objection, enjoying what power, then should undertake corresponding obligations, this simple truth I also understand. Old Hu Tou please rest assured, my dad often mentioned hunting matters to me, in this regard I will not do worse than An Ze!"

  At this time, no one would laugh at Lu Qi for being ignorant of the height of heaven and earth, nor would anyone think he was bragging. The king wins and the bandit loses, it's a matter of course. An Ze died at Lu Qi's hands, even if the results of the winter hunt were not as good as before, no one dared to say anything.

  Xi Tu's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Lu Qi: "I hope so, if the winter hunt yields a big harvest, when the master of the house comes to manage things, this position of head of the household will be yours, granting you a great name and imparting the power of the force is absolutely no problem, and it's even very likely that he'll take you out!"

  "Take him out?" Amidst the slaves' murmurs and discussions, Lu Qi also looked at Xi Tu with some astonishment, his emotions slightly fluctuating.

  As someone who has been to a technologically advanced world like Earth, I understand that "going out" is the only way to have good development. Hiding in this remote swamp forest and being a big household for generations, what's the use of that?

  Xi Tu nodded: "I think you're absolutely a rare talent, who hasn't even practiced the Force yet, but can still defeat An Ze with his seven-layered bravery just by relying on your own instincts and combat skills. If you were to learn the Force, that would be something else entirely! I think someone as discerning as Master's steward wouldn't let someone like you slip away, it's very likely he'll give you an identity."

  Lu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Tiger Head thanks Old Hu for his kind words. If Tiger Head really has such good fortune, he will definitely treat Old Hu to wine and meat in the future to repay Old Hu's unbiased kindness."

  "Alright, alright!" Xi Tu, this usually stoic old man, also cracked a smile. He picked up the large ring-shaped knife and put it back in its original place. Then, with a full and sonorous voice, he declared: "Everyone return to their posts! Don't let the death of Da Hu Tou disrupt our formation. Da Feng, Da Kang, you two are responsible for the village's defensive measures. Make sure they're at their best before the winter hunt, so we can avoid any worries later on."

  Lu Kang's face lit up with joy as he hastily responded, while the previously somewhat disheartened Da Feng also perked up and looked at Xi Tu in surprise and gratitude. He then snuck a glance at Lu Qi, seeing that he didn't seem to care about him, and quickly composed himself, organizing people to repair the defensive facilities.

  Lu Kang and Hui Niang, after exchanging excitedly with Lu Qi in tears, went to attend to their respective tasks. Even if Lu Qi became a wealthy household head in the future, their lives would not change much, they still had to work hard according to the rules, otherwise they would be deprived of their right to survive.

  After everyone had dispersed, the bodies of An Ze and Da Gu were also dragged away. As the original head of the wealthy household, An Ze did have the right to a proper burial. As for Da Gu, he was destined to be used as bait, which was an unwritten rule among the various villages in the dense forest.

  On the eastern slope, only Lu Qi and Xi Tu were left, along with the beast-mouthed large ring knife that gleamed dimly in the remaining light, contrasting with the new bloodstains on the slope, revealing the vicissitudes of this land.

  "Hutou, I never thought that previous joke would actually become a reality!" Xitu suddenly spoke up, his eyes fixed on the bloodstained dagger in Ludi's hand: "But what really interests me is this weapon of yours. If I'm not mistaken, it was crafted by Tielimu, right?"
