Zhong Kui's Diary
It seemed unimaginable that such a turn of events would occur. The area around the Golden Tent was in an uproar, and then about ten burly men rushed over, brandishing Machetes and shouting curses. Among them, four agile men were particularly agitated, swinging their Machetes up and down, as if they would chop Lu Shaoyang and the others into minced meat at the slightest opportunity. The other eight men, also wielding Machetes, stood behind these four, cheering them on. Due to the fear of hitting their own, they did not dare to get too close.
"What’s going on?" I shouted in astonishment.
At that moment, Lu Shaoyang was pointing a gun at Lu Zhengyang's head. Two burly men had crossed their Machetes against Lu Zhengyang's neck, while another man, a Scarred Man holding a Firearm, pressed the barrel against Lu Zhengyang's chest. From the looks of it, if there was any movement from Lu Zhengyang, he would immediately be shot in the head, blasted in the chest, or have his throat cut with a Machete...
Unless he was a deity, he was undoubtedly doomed.
Additionally, two more burly men were pointing their Machetes at me and Shen Sipan. I didn’t care much about this threat; as long as I made a move, I could easily knock down the Machete in front of me.
"What do you want to do, Third Brother?" Lu Zhengyang frowned and asked without showing any signs of panic despite the weapons aimed at him.
"What do I want to do?" Lu Shaoyang sneered. "Big Brother, you've been sitting in the position of family head for too long; it's time for me to have some fun."
"Do you think the position of family head is something you can just take?" Lu Zhengyang said sternly, his presence commanding respect without anger.
"Big Brother, you’re getting old. Now, besides your Four Great Kings, who else is willing to listen to your orders? Hahaha..." Lu Shaoyang seemed to have heard the funniest joke ever and suddenly burst into wild laughter. After laughing for about ten seconds, he finally stopped and coughed heavily before shouting loudly: "Lu Shiyang!"
As soon as Lu Shaoyang's voice fell, four piercing cries echoed immediately. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw that the four agile men had knife tips protruding from their chests. Their eyes widened in shock and disbelief. After a moment, the knife tips suddenly disappeared from their chests, and they collapsed to the ground one after another.
Behind them, the eight men who had been cheering now wore cold smiles on their faces; four of them were holding bloody Machetes.
Lu Zhengyang's four bodyguards had been killed in an instant by these eight men.
"Lu Shaoyang!" Lu Zhengyang roared in fury as if his heart were being torn apart.
In contempt of him, Lu Shaoyang merely sneered again as dozens of voices around shouted loudly:
"Lu Shiyang reigns supreme in the desert!"
“Lu Shiyang, King of the Desert!”
……
Seeing this, I couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. I thought such brutal family conflicts only happened in movies, yet here I was, witnessing a live broadcast of it. What was most frustrating was that you all were tearing each other apart; could you please keep me out of this? Why drag me into it? In this situation, how am I supposed to explore the Lianzheng Platform?
I looked around, contemplating how to separate Machete and then Summon a Spatial Portal. At times like this, escaping was the priority; I couldn't worry too much about wasting a spell. I couldn't help but reminisce about the magical powers I once had. If my powers were still with me, even a thousand atmospheres underwater wouldn't be able to crush me. Why would I fear your knives and bullets?
Just as I was feeling frustrated, a man and a woman rushed out from the massive Golden Tent. The woman, with unsteady steps, was Lü Yue, while the man beside her was a big, rotund big fatty. However, judging by his running posture, he wasn't slow despite his size; on the contrary, he moved exceptionally agile.
Lü Yue stumbled and looked like she was about to fall when the big fatty swiftly reached out and steadied her by the shoulder. Just like that, she regained her balance.
That single action made my scalp tingle. Damn, this person's skills are probably not inferior to Lou Wei.
As they approached, Lü Yue and the big fatty stopped. On one hand, it was due to people around them trying to intervene; on the other hand, they noticed Lu Zhengyang being held at gunpoint by two knives and two guns.
Looking at the four corpses on the ground, Lü Yue's eyes turned red as she shouted sternly, “Uncle San, what do you want to do?”
“Tch, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that? Someone, kill her!” Lu Shaoyang snorted coldly.
Is this really the same Uncle San who just moments ago embraced Lü Yue with joy?
As soon as Lu Shaoyang said this, three or four people nearby raised their Machetes and swung them down towards Lü Yue's head. I cursed under my breath and was about to block the Machete in front of me to lend a hand when I suddenly noticed a cold smile flicker across Lu Zhengyang's lips.
What kind of expression is that?
Suddenly struck by a thought about the big fatty, I forcefully restrained my hand. To others, it seemed like I merely shrugged my shoulders slightly. Turning my gaze back to Lü Yue, just as the four Machetes were about to land on her head, the previously silent big fatty finally made his move.
His action was slow, almost as if a sentimental boss was gently placing a diamond ring on his beautiful Secretary, or like a wealthy second-generation heir slowly retrieving a box of Durex while gazing at the beauty beside his bed… His movements were relaxed and leisurely, devoid of any urgency.
However, with such an extremely slow movement, he managed to catch all four of the lightning-fast Machetes in his hands. With a slight smile, the big fatty dropped the four Machetes onto the ground, the clashing sound of the Machetes was exceptionally piercing.
Everyone stared blankly at the big fatty's honest face, and the venue fell silent. Lu Shaoyang was also stunned for a while before frowning and asking, "Who are you?"
The big fatty chuckled, his facial fat squishing his eyes into a slit, his smile resembling that of Maitreya Buddha: "I am the guardian of the Lu Family!"
"You are the guardian of the Lu Family?" Lu Shaoyang's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
The big fatty nodded with a silly grin.
Lu Shaoyang's face turned red and pale alternately. After a long while, he suddenly shouted, "Whatever Lu Zhengyang can give you, I will double it!"
"He didn't give me anything; my mission is to protect the safety of the head of the Lu Family," the big fatty replied innocently.
"Protecting the head of the Lu Family? Don't you know that the Lu Family can only thrive under my leadership? You should be protecting me instead!" Lu Shaoyang yelled hoarsely.
"That doesn't concern me; I will only acknowledge who is the head of the family when I see the Black Iron Token," the big fatty answered truthfully.
Lu Shaoyang sneered and pressed his gun forcefully against Lu Zhengyang's head, sternly saying, "Hand over the Black Iron Token now! Otherwise, I will kill you!"
Lu Zhengyang snorted, "Since you are from the Lu Family, you should know that unless I, Lu Zhengyang, have no heirs, this token will be passed down to my children. If Yue were in trouble, perhaps you would have a chance; unfortunately, she has returned now."
Lu Shaoyang cursed, "Don't think that just because you have this big fatty protecting you that you'll be fine. No matter how powerful he is, can he move faster than a bullet? Besides, if I kill both of you father and daughter, won't the position of head of the family still be mine? At that time, the guardian will have to protect me instead. Hahaha."
After laughing twice, Lu Shaoyang spat and cursed, "Damn it! Can't even kill a girl! That Zhou cripple is really a waste!"
Upon hearing this from Lu Shaoyang, Lu Zhengyang's expression changed as he shouted sternly, "You mean Yue was taken away by your orders?"
Lu Shaoyang coldly snorted, "Not only that; your battle with Ban Yun was also instigated by me. Otherwise, it would truly be troublesome to wipe out your subordinates."
"That's why, that's why..." Lu Zhengyang murmured, "It's no wonder that Ban Yun, who has always kept his distance from me, suddenly declared war and tried to seize my territory. It's also no wonder that during the battle, you and your subordinates encountered a sandstorm. It turns out all of this was arranged by you."
"Exactly! I thought that if I killed Lu Yue and then took you down, the position of the family head would fall into my hands. But I never expected you to hide in this tent and not come out, making it impossible for me to take action. What surprised me even more was that Lu Yue actually came back!" Lu Shaoyang spat and continued, "Fortunately, I reacted quickly and lured you out with my plan. Hahaha."
Hearing this, I couldn't hold back any longer and cleared my throat. "Excuse me, Lu Shaoyang, can I ask you a question?"
Lu Shaoyang shot me a sideways glance. "Ask your sister! Did I say you could talk?"
I laughed heartily, casually reaching forward to grab the machete in front of me. With a smirk, I snapped it in half with a loud crack and tossed the two pieces onto the grass, where they clashed together with a crisp sound.
Seeing my display of skill, Lu Yue exclaimed in surprise, while the big fatty's eyes lit up. To an ordinary person, breaking a steel machete like that is incredibly impressive; however, to experts, my swift action of disarming was what truly stood out.
"How about that? Can I talk now?" I reached out again and snatched the machete from Shen Sipan's hands, snapping it in half just like the first one before tossing it aside.
Lu Shaoyang's face turned pale as he slightly moved his hand as if to raise his gun. However, after glancing at the big fatty, he managed to restrain himself. He must have realized that as soon as his gun left Lu Zhengyang's head, the big fatty might just lash out.
With a cold snort, Lu Shaoyang said, "Then it's your turn."
"I'm quite curious," I asked with a smile, ignoring Lu Yue's furious glare beside me. "Since you've already used Ban Yun's knife to kill all your brother's subordinates and everyone here is your trusted confidant, why don't you just rush into the tent and take down your brother? Even if he has four highly skilled bodyguards, surely your numbers would overwhelm them."
