Chapter Seventy Liu Dakang

  Liu Dakang was an orphan, unaware of who his parents were. From a very young age, he began begging for food in the streets and alleys of Qing Shui Town, living a life of alternating hunger and fullness, yet managing to survive like this for 9 years.

  As his body became stronger and more robust, Liu Daku's physical strength also increased, and he was now able to support himself by hunting. This was a rare and precious thing for him, and it made him feel extremely proud. As a result, he would often become lost in thought and break into a gentle smile when roasting his hunted prey, not because he was foolish, but because he felt that his future days would only get better and better, and this filled him with a longing for the beauty of life.

  But once, whether it was good luck or bad, Liu Dakang came to the forest with his homemade bow to hunt, but unexpectedly encountered great danger. It was a mature leopard, its golden fur looked exceptionally majestic, its agile body covered with black spots the size of coins, and when its limbs moved, its muscles would slightly bulge, giving people a sense of oppression, just like those cultivators he had admired for a long time.

  Liu Dakang hastily pulled out an arrow, his irregular breathing causing his thin chest to swell back and forth. He nocked the bow and drew the string, his hands trembling slightly as he realized it was a matter of life and death. If he couldn't kill the leopard in front of him, he would be the one to die.

  "Few chances, few chances! Calm down!……" Liu Dakang muttered to himself, and when he was sure he had taken aim, his right hand loosened decisively, and the twisted arrow shaft was shot out, carrying with it his hope for survival and courage to keep living.

  "Hit! Hit!……" Liu Da Kang was silently chanting in his heart at this time, and the arrow he had made with his own hands seemed to have heard his inner words. Although Hua Bao had made a dodging motion ahead of time, it still got stuck in Hua Bao's chest, and several drops of blood came out, dyeing the fur around the arrow red.

  "Great! I got it!" Liu Dakang was overjoyed at this moment, and he involuntarily jumped up. He secretly thought to himself that this beast wasn't so formidable after all. Not only could he survive now, but the fur of that flower leopard might even sell for a good price!

  The smiling face turned to look at its prey, but where the flower leopard was originally standing, there was no corpse of its expected prey, but a living and furious leopard.

  At this moment, the flower leopard's face was filled with furious color, and the angry roar was one wave higher than the other, desperately drilling into Liu Dakang's ears, making his ears numb.

  At this time, the flower leopard only saw its front paws swing, and the arrow inserted in its chest was shot out. Although the wound was still bleeding continuously at this time, this injury was obviously not fatal for a mature flower leopard. Liu Dakan's spirit was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized that his bow and arrow were too weak to kill the leopard, so he wasn't...

  The flower leopard definitely wouldn't give Liu Dakang time to think, let out a short roar, and then with a slight exertion of its limbs, it rushed towards Liu Dakang, its pace both urgent and swift, like an arrow off the string, instantly charging right up close.

  Liu Dakang's heart was in great turmoil, but he had no sharp blades to defend himself with, so he could only use his homemade curved bow to resist, and his feet didn't stop moving either, taking a leap to dodge to one side.

  At this time, the leopard's attack had arrived. All that was heard was a "crack" sound, and his own proud bow was easily shattered by the leopard's front paw. Then the leopard attacked again with its paw, Liu Dakuang barely dodged to the back, only feeling a slight chill on his chest, followed by an intense tearing pain spreading throughout his body.

  Liu Dakang let out a miserable cry, his entire body involuntarily falling backwards. Distracted, he lowered his head to take a look and saw that his chest was already covered in blood, which had soon stained the entire upper half of his body red. A strong feeling of fatigue then washed over him, making him feel drowsy as he faced danger.

  Liu Dakang felt despair in his heart, was he going to lose his life here today?

  "Sigh... It's all right, living is so tiring anyway. Dying early would be a kind of relief." Such a thought suddenly emerged in Liu Dakang's mind.

  The flower leopard didn't stop at all and pounced on Liu Dakang's body, its big mouth open, ready to bite his neck off.

  Liu Dakang only felt a strong fishy smell coming from the mouth of the flower leopard, and then his eyes turned black, he was about to faint, but also at this time.

  All of a sudden, there was a loud "thud" and the flower leopard's body suffered a severe impact. Its entire body flew sideways like it had been hit by a giant object and crashed into a large tree. Liu Dake only managed to glance at the flower leopard once before his vision blurred and he fainted.

  It was Wu Zongyue, the master of the Wu family, who saved Liu Dakang's life. It just so happened that Liu Dakang was lucky enough to encounter the Wu family's hunting party returning from the forest of demonic beasts, and they coincidentally arrived in time to save him. This could also be considered a kind of fate.

  From then on, Liu Dakang settled down in the Wu family, eating and living with them, practicing with them until he got married and had children. And Liu Dakang always regarded the Wu family as his own home, the master of the Wu family was like his elder, the guards around him were like his brothers, and his feelings for this family were so deep that few people could compare to it.

  Recently, the Wu family somehow provoked someone and was attacked by assassins one night. This made Liu Da Kang, who had always been fond of the Wu family, extremely angry. He risked his life to protect the Wu family, attacking the assassins. In the end, their side emerged victorious, although the process was tortuous. At one point, he even thought that he and the Wu family would disappear together, but in the end, they won. However, many of his brothers were killed or wounded.

  But on the second day, the master of the house actually gave an order to let all the guards withdraw from the Wu's house!

  "How can this be!" Liu Da Kang thought to himself, but looking at the serious and determined gaze of the master of the house, Liu Da Kang knew that even if he said something, it would be useless, and could only withdraw with his fellow guards from the Wu household.

  In the following days, Liu Dakang felt like he was living through a year in a day, especially at night when loud noises came from the Wu family's direction, shaking the earth and making him unconsciously think that the gods were angry. He often wanted to go and protect the Wu family without hesitation, even if it meant taking a sword for the master at that time, but turning his head to look at his wife who was tightly hugging him, with eyes full of pleading color, and also thinking of his infant daughter, he remembered the master's order, Liu Dakang retreated.

  However, the following days can be described as a turn for the better. Although the Wu family home was reduced to ruins after a few days, the Wu family members were not injured in the slightest. Liu Dake's mood was ecstatic at this time, and he kept telling himself, "As long as people are fine, as long as there is a master of the house! Everything else will definitely come back later! It will all come back!"

  And indeed, in just a few short months, the owner mobilized unimaginable manpower, material resources and financial resources to rebuild the Wu family on the ruins, and the new Wu family was even more solid, exquisite, luxurious, and larger in area. Everything is moving in a good direction.

  Just a few days ago, the head of the Wu family announced that the annual monster hunting event in the forest was about to begin. Although his name was not on the list of those going to train, he still felt a little regretful in his heart. But thinking of the head's instructions before leaving and the assassin attack not long ago, Liu Dake decided that before the family training team returned, he would definitely guard the Wu family well and do his duty to stand firm at his post!

  Liu Dakang felt very annoyed today, and the whole night of being on guard was like this. Although it's already dawn now, the cool morning breeze couldn't alleviate his inner heat at all.

  "Is something going to happen?" Liu Dakang shook his head secretly, "I must have thought too much, the previous wave of assassins was when our Wu family had just suffered a big loss, and I heard others say that those assassins didn't seem to be targeting us either. Now it's been three or four months since the incident, something like this shouldn't happen again."

  Suddenly, Liu Dakang's corner of his eye caught a glimpse of something unusual, and it seemed that there was a black shadow flashing by just now! He quickly turned his head to look, but found nothing. Liu Dakang, not giving up, climbed onto the patrol wall of the mansion and carefully looked into the woods outside the Wu family's house, trying to find something.

  Just at that moment, Liu Dakang poked his head out to take a look, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. The familiar feeling spread throughout his body. He looked down and found that there was a person crawling on the wall below him, dressed in black from head to toe. The man's eyes were icy cold, without any expression, holding a bloody dagger in his hand. Even with Liu Dakang's blood splashing all over his head, he didn't flinch, and his eyes even flashed with a hint of pleasure.

  "This person seems to have grown up in blood." Liu Dakang's mind suddenly came up with this strange idea, and then his body softened, and he fell backwards, covering his throat that had been cut open. Liu Dakang slowly moved, struggling to straighten his body, leaning against the wall of the mansion and sitting up.

  In this process, Liu Dakang clearly saw that his brothers who were originally patrolling with him on the wall of the mansion had all fallen into a pool of blood, and several black-clad assassins stood motionless beside them, as if waiting for something.

  At this moment, Liu Dakang only heard a few whispers of wind around him, and suddenly several assassins appeared in front of him. One of them was dressed in luxurious clothes, unlike the others who were all in black, but rather in expensive and elegant attire, not like an assassin, but more like a noble attending a court gathering. He didn't look very old, only twelve or thirteen years old, with some childishness still on his face. There were three people standing around him, guarding him, obviously this young man was not ordinary.

  The young man realized that someone was watching him at this time, turned his head to look, and found that it was actually a guard with a throat cut open, obviously already dying. He showed a contemptuous expression in his eyes, immediately turned his head to another place, as if he would be polluted by looking at him for one more second.

  "That young man said: 'Is this the Wu's house?'"

  "Indeed, young master!" replied an assassin beside him. "According to our intelligence, this is where the Wen family was stationed last time. Liu Lao and those nine sword king-level assassins were defeated here. However, the master of this house is also a sword king-level expert, so it's impossible for them to have left Liu Lao and the others behind. Moreover, Wen Lao had confirmed that he had gone to the demon beast forest to provide reinforcements at that time, so it's impossible for him to be here either. Things are not as simple as they seem, I hope young master will be careful on this trip." The assassin's voice was unusually old and worn, but his words carried a certain air of authority, making them believable.

  "No need to say more! I already know the specifics, no need for you to remind me." The young man in the magnificent attire waved his hand, somewhat impatiently, and said, "Of course, I knew it wasn't just this small Wu family that was responsible for what happened last time. This time, I came mainly for that thing, and destroying this Wu family is just a bonus. Hmph! They actually dared to oppose us, it's simply infuriating! My father previously told me to restrain myself during this period of time, so as not to alarm the snakes in the grass. But taking care of a small rural family like this shouldn't be considered showing off, should it?"

  "Yes, yes! The young master's words are extremely right! Taking in a small family like this will not stir up any waves. Hehehe, it seems that previously the master was worried that the young master would get too deeply involved in some matters and therefore wanted you to hold back a bit, all for your own good. The young master doesn't need to take this to heart."

  The young man in Chinese clothes listened to the old man's words and his facial expression also slightly eased, saying: "Alright! Don't talk nonsense, of course my father is worried about me. You guys should hurry up too! I think you three sword kings should be able to handle one person, right?"

  "Don't worry, young master! With the three of us joining forces, we will definitely annihilate this insignificant Wu family and leave nothing behind!" The three people beside the youth said in unison.

  "Alright! Let's go!" The young man in Chinese attire took a step forward and leaped into the air.
