Chapter 577 - 336: Conflict

Chapter 577: Chapter 336: Conflict

These people didn’t seem very strong.

Although it was impossible to discern a Reincarnator’s Level simply through Perception, he could roughly judge their tier through their Spirituality.

It wasn’t their exact Level he was judging, but the general sense of combat power they projected to him.

For instance... the bald, shirtless man with dark skin behind him probably had the strength of a Level 4 Reincarnator.

As for the man’s exact Level, Lu Cang had no idea.

"Well, well..."

"A great beauty, bringing along two little brats."

The man in the lead, who sported a pompadour and carried a Wolf-toothed Stick, looked like a Warrior.

"Looks like you don’t have an Adventurer’s Guild protecting you."

The man with the Wolf-toothed Stick approached Lu Luwei. He was about two and a half meters tall, making Lu Luwei look extremely petite in front of him. Lu Cang, meanwhile, only came up to the man’s thigh.

"Little miss, what brings you to Moonfall Island? Who are you here to see?"

He put on a friendly facade, crouching down to ask Lu Luwei.

Lu Luwei looked at the hulking man before her and said in a sorrowful tone, "My husband... he died here on Moonfall Island, during the war against the Demons."

"He left without even saying goodbye to us."

"I wanted to bring our children to... to see him."

Lu Cang froze.

’Huh?’

Lu Luwei’s eyes welled up, and tears began to stream down her face.

’Lu Luwei, when did you become such a drama queen?’

"Oh..."

"So that’s how it is."

"Who was your husband?"

"His name was Magna. He was a Level 4 Warrior."

"Sirs... what is it you’re planning to do?"

Lu Luwei averted her gaze, her expression weak and vulnerable. Being surrounded by them was clearly making her uncomfortable.

Hearing the name Lu Luwei gave, the man with the pompadour visibly relaxed. Lu Cang could feel a thick, malicious intent brewing.

’Oh...’

’So she’s a woman with no backing.’

’And that body... I’ve really hit the jackpot.’

"Lu Luwei, I never would’ve guessed you had this kind of penchant."

"Oh? You couldn’t tell?"

In truth, toying with opponents was a very enjoyable pastime.

It was just a shame that after meeting Lu Cang, all of Lu Luwei’s fights had been high-stakes affairs. She was constantly fighting things like Nation Destruction Level Demons and Submerged Land Level Demons.

She had gone from being the undefeated Proud Archer with a 5,000-match winning streak...

...to being the one with the lowest damage output on the team.

In truth... Lu Luwei had been bottling up this frustration for a long time. As a powerhouse who had once maintained a long winning streak in the arena, she had always been proud.

"Can... can we go now?"

The man with the pompadour let out a cold laugh as his men closed in. "Haha."

"Willing to travel all this way, to such a remote place, just to visit a grave."

"And those clothes you’re wearing aren’t made of ordinary fabric."

"Your husband must have left you quite the inheritance, hm?"

THUD—

The Wolf-toothed Stick slammed onto the ground.

At the same time, a large man came up from behind and grabbed Lu Cang and Leng Qingying by the shoulders.

"Ma’am, you wouldn’t want your children to get hurt, would you?"

"Oh."

SPLURT—

Lu Cang’s expression didn’t change as he watched an arm fly into the air with detached indifference.

Blood sprayed high into the air.

’Leng Qingying, your rashness is really putting Lu Luwei in a tough spot...’

’Lu Luwei put on that whole show just for the satisfaction of the takedown, and you beat her to the punch...’

SWISH!

The man in front of them reacted with surprising speed!

Seeing his companion’s hand severed in an instant, he immediately raised his Wolf-toothed Stick!

"Fuck, so you were just looking for a fight!"

"I knew you were no good!"

WHOOSH!

As he cursed, he swung the Wolf-toothed Stick down toward Lu Luwei’s head!

BANG!

But the Wolf-toothed Stick never landed.

A massive, bloody hole had appeared in his chest.

"Isn’t that a little excessive?"

"Lu Luwei, you just killed someone in public."

Lu Cang glanced at Lu Luwei beside him.

He saw a faint, crazed glint in the depths of her eyes.

’Lu Luwei... During the month of chaos and madness, the frenzy gradually builds up.’

’It seems Lu Luwei has been affected, too.’

’And she hasn’t had any outlet for it yet.’

’Oh, well.’

Lu Cang wasn’t one to abide by rules and order anyway. If they were killed, they were killed. The thugs hadn’t meant well to begin with.

As for the people who had just disembarked, they were all stunned.

How... How did a fight break out just like that?

And with bloodshed, no less?

It wasn’t that no one had ever been unhappy with the situation here before, but these thugs who blocked the pier wouldn’t usually attack so directly.

They would usually lead the disembarking passengers away, luring them step-by-step to a more secluded location.

Even if a conflict erupted, it would usually end with a forced beating. They wouldn’t just kill someone in broad daylight at the pier.

"That bitch!"

That arrow.

It was one of Lu Cang’s Enchanted Arrows.

The bloody hole punched through the pompadour-wearing man’s chest had faint purple traces around it...

’Maggot Bone Poison.’

Currently, Lu Cang’s strongest Enchantments were various types of the Poison Element.

"Hey..."

"You’ve got to be kidding me..."

The members of the Adventurer’s Guild who had spoken to Lu Luwei on the ship were stunned when they saw the fight break out.

’Seriously...’

’Are they really that reckless?’

They had stuck around, figuring they could step in and help Lu Luwei if anything unexpected happened.

After all, they’d taken her money; it wouldn’t feel right to do nothing.

But now, seeing what Lu Luwei had done...

Starting a fight on the spot.

’So she really was here to cause trouble.’

WHOOSH—

Lu Cang felt a stir in his Perception. A powerful Qi emerged from the town-like port and approached the pier.

’I was originally planning to keep a low profile...’

’Oh well.’

Lu Cang’s Perception swept over them. There weren’t many powerful people here—mostly just some Level 6 Reincarnators, with a single Level 7 keeping watch.

There weren’t even as many powerful individuals as there were in Miselux.

"Lu Luwei."

"You probably don’t need my help..."

Lu Luwei said, "I don’t."

Lu Cang replied, "Alright, I’m heading out then."

As Lu Cang spoke, his form turned ethereal and vanished into the crowd.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared inside a restaurant at the port. He extended his Perception toward Lu Luwei’s location and settled in to watch.

This journey wasn’t just for him.

Lu Luwei had her own things she wanted to accomplish.

"Boss, a bowl of noodles."

"Coming right up!"

Lu Cang sat down in the restaurant, watching as Lu Luwei was surrounded by more and more people.

But suddenly, his Perception twitched again.

Lu Cang glanced at the next table.

’Oh?’

’What a coincidence.’

To think he’d run into that Cat Girl, Xiumi, here of all places.

"Hic~"

"I’m stuffed, so stuffed, meow~"

"But... what’s all that commotion over at the pier, meow?"

Xiumi stood up and looked at her teammates. They seemed to exchange a few words telepathically before nodding in unison, getting up, and hurrying toward the pier.
