However, what puzzled the deacons was that this outsider didn’t show any fear at all. Instead, he looked very excited!

The deacon leader frowned at the sight, but his expression quickly turned into a scornful smile. Under such circumstances, this foreigner didn’t have any way to resist. His current expression was likely just a pretense before he lost all hope.

“You want to kill me?” Arthur sneered. “Then all of you can go die first!”

In an instant, a sword slashed across the bodies of the deacons like a shadow.

The deacons couldn’t suppress the blood as it gushed out from their bodies. One of them tried to reach out and cover it, but it was utterly useless. The blood wouldn’t stop flowing.

Lu Yu swiftly absorbed the blood of those men!

The deacon leader watched as the six people on the ground turned into dried corpses after being killed instantly. His stomach twisted and turned, seeing the demonic sight before him.

Scared witless, his entire body trembled intensely in fear of death.

[Killed an energy level one transcendent, points +20]

[…]

A long list of notifications appeared before Lu Yu’s eyes.

The points he got from killing a transcendent were more than what he earned from killing an ordinary being.

The townspeople were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them!

“How… How is this possible?”

They looked at Arthur in shock. This man had defeated so many transcendents of the Spencer family instantly!

No one could’ve imagined this outcome.

At this moment, the deacon leader watched what was happening with intense fear. This foreigner had killed six transcendents in an instant. He had never seen such a scene before!

“I told you to return the land to the residents. Are you still planning to hang my body outside?” Arthur calmly said as he pointed his sword at the deacon leader.

“I-I… I didn’t do it! It was all Matthew’s order, I didn’t plan any of this!”

The man was already scared out of his wits. His words didn’t make sense anymore, and Arthur couldn’t get anything out of him.

“What?” Arthur frowned and said, “Since you’re useless now, then you can go to hell!”

Shluk!

The sword’s blade pierced through the deacon leader’s heart. Soon after, blood flowed from his body and trailed into Lu Yu.

This demonic scene scared the Baron’s ordinary guardians and the other ruffians. They ran, shouting words like ‘demon’ and ‘devil’. However, their speed couldn’t be compared to Arthur’s.

After a few steps, they had no way to avoid Arthur’s lightning-fast approach. Before they could even react, Lu Yu had already drawn blood from their backs.

[Killed the Baron’s guard, points +10]

[Killed a ruffian, points +10]

[…]

A long line of notifications appeared in front of Lu Yu. His points were stacking up at a rapid speed.

Afterward, the disguised Arthur and some townspeople walked out of the door. On the other side, a group of people had just rushed over. Their eyes were filled with fear, shock, and disbelief.

Arthur couldn’t help but notice their wound-covered and emaciated bodies. Most residents looked completely different from the prosperous scene a month ago.

The townspeople looked at Arthur and the corpses on the ground. They had puzzled looks on their faces.

Suddenly, a resident who saw Arthur killing the transcendents shouted, “The evil tyrant, Haussmann, has been stopped by this man. We are free from now on!”

Instantly, a glimmer of light appeared in the townspeople’s eyes. Some people exchanged looks with their companions and cried tears of joy. Other than that, others rushed up to beat Haus’s unconscious body.

After being oppressed for so long, they couldn’t wait to get back at this tyrant. However, the family behind him rendered them unable to take action.

But now, there was a new transcendent to stand up for them. They felt that there was finally a glimmer of hope in their lives. Many people thought that they had finally escaped those hellish days.

An old man walked up to Arthur.

He was the town chief. In Arthur’s memory, he was very kind. He would always advise many young children. Arthur had once also received a lot of care from him.

But now, the old man was sighing. He thought further than many people. He didn’t think Arthur could help the residents solve their current problem.

After all, the Spencer family’s power was far greater than its personal guards. Soon, more terrifying forces would come for revenge. If Arthur didn’t leave now, he might really not have another chance.

“Child, you should run. Your behavior today has already offended the Spencer family.”

“They can do anything they want in this town. Even if you’re a transcendent, you can’t deal with all of them.”

“There used to be a transcendent in our town, but he couldn’t beat Baron Spencer. In the end, I could only watch a tragedy happen with my own eyes. To this day, I still mull over that occurrence.”

“But you can still make it if you run now. You’re a transcendent, so they won’t be able to catch up to you so easily.”

The old man patted Arthur’s shoulder and tried to persuade him. He had already witnessed Baron Spencer’s power back in the day. Whether it was the mayor, the police officers, or even Viscounts and Earls, they all had connections with him.

Going against such a person had made them experience bitter consequences. Therefore, it was almost impossible for a transcendent from outside to defeat Baron Spencer in this region.

—

In the small tavern, an unconscious figure stood up after being beaten up by the villagers.

He was the ruffian, Haussmann, who had been grabbed by the neck and thrown aside by Arthur before fainting.

When he was unconscious, the townspeople dared to beat him up. Now that he had slightly recovered his ability to move, the people didn’t dare to make a move because of his backing.

Everyone took a few steps back in unison.

“Motherf*cker! What’re you lowly commoners trying to do?”

“When the deacons come, I’ll break your legs! You think you can rebel now because a transcendent has come to help you?”

“Let me tell you, even a transcendent is useless in front of the Spencer family. In the end, those who offend us will be skinned, have their tendons pulled out, and then hung!” Haussmann sternly said.
