The carriage approached them. There was no reaction from Lu Shu. On the other hand, Song Bo was delighted.

Before Lu Shu could do anything, Song Bo stopped the carriage. “Who is in the carriage? My trade caravan is willing to quote a high price for your carriage. I don’t mean to offend you. Something has happened to us and we hope that you will understand. My trade caravan will fulfill your price and conditions to the best of our abilities.”

Song Bo did not rely on his power to bully others. He did not force them to sell their carriage either. He was very polite when he spoke.

In reality, the first thing that these traveling businessmen learned was not to attack others once they have admitted their mistake. Before they understood the situation, they would first be polite. It usually brought more good than harm.

But the moment Song Bo finished speaking, he felt a strong force behind him. Someone was pulling on his clothes and dragging him back. In his haste, Song Bo could only see that Lu Shu was the culprit, but he did not understand why Lu Shu had done so.

The next moment, a shell was fired from the carriage. The curtain of the carriage was torn into pieces by the shell!

Sun Zhongyang and the rest turned to look at what was happening. This shell would not inflict much harm if they were at their peak. But now, it was different. Sun Zhongyang and the rest did not have the strength to fight!

But the shell was slower than Lu Shu. Song Bo looked on as the sharp shell flew past him. If Lu Shu had been just a bit slower, his brain might have exploded!

How did Lu Shu know that the people in the carriage did not have good intentions? Who had sent this carriage?

The person in the carriage had not alighted. The driver had drawn a small dagger from his sleeve and threw it towards Lu Shu. Lu Shu single handedly threw Song Bo behind him. The driver looked on helplessly as Lu Shu caught the shell with his bare hands. Then, he threw it towards the driver like a shooting star.

In his panic, the driver felt as if his entire body had broken into pieces. He involuntarily flew back. The heavy shell did not pierce through his body. Instead, it slammed the driver against the carriage.

At the same time, Lu Shu snapped his fingers and the sword energy appeared. It was as if something in the air had been cut apart.

Lu Shu no longer needed to use a sword to fight. The sword energy possessed the power of thousands of swords.

The sword was an external object, but the sword energy was the core.

The person in the carriage did not dare to come into direct contact with the sword energy. He used the recoil between the driver and the shell to run away. The walls of the carriage was broken by the person. Then, he ran for his life. He seemed to have the ability of a Rank Two.

But even if he was of a Rank Two, it was of no use. Sun Zhongyang and the rest realized that the Rank Two expert had determined in a split second that he could not match up to Lu Shu. Thus, he decided to run away.

They looked at Lu Shu. Was this really the practitioner that they looked down upon?

Sun Zhongyang and the rest silently looked at one another. Even the Rank Two geniuses among them might not be able to defeat Le Yulu! The sword energy had a unique tyranny to it. It was as if the sword energy was invincible!

He was able to summon his sword energy at will. This was the highest level! What kind of master was he?

“Have you heard the old men in our family say,” said Sun Zhongyang calmly, “that the masters in the Sword Hut are able to use anything as their swords? They can use sword energy and aurablade at will.”

“Wait. Are you saying that he is from the Sword Hut? But since when did the Sword Hut have such young disciples?” Someone asked in surprise.

“You only know that the Sword Hut will choose people from the armies every year. But you have forgotten that there is a rear mountain of the Sword Hut,” said Sun Zhongyang calmly.

“Wait. The rear mountain only exists in legends.” Mo Xiaoya furrowed her mountains. “The Sword Hut is in the palace. There are no mountains in the palace! Who had seen the legendary rear mountain?”

“It exists.” Sun Zhongyang grew dejected. “My father told me that in this world, the King of Gods is Heaven. He is like a deity. He represents the people of this world. But back then, when he conquered the world, he was not that powerful. It was all thanks to the help from the Sword Hut.”

“Everyone knows that.” Mo Xiaoya asked, “What does this have to do with the rear mountain?”

“You may not know, but there is a rear mountain. The people who appear from the rear mountain are those who truly walk in this world for the King of Gods. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers are always among the government and the people. But the people from the rear mountain are all over the world. They did not enter by passing an examination. They were brought there when they were born. When I was just born, my father wanted to send me to the rear mountain, but I was rejected.”

“Have you seen what the rear mountain looks like?” Someone asked curiously.

“No, but you may have heard of someone from the rear mountain.” Sun Zhongyang said, “Long Que.”

Mo Xiaoya was dumbfounded. “Are you talking about the lady called Long Que?”

“Yes.” Sun Zhongyang sighed. “Do you remember the battle that happened three years ago? A traveling merchant called the Lord of Heaven fought a powerful patron of the North Lord of Heaven. You may not have believed it then, but I believed it.”

“Do you mean that Le Yulu is also from the rear mountain?” Mo Xiaoya seemed puzzled. “Does a greedy person like him really exist in the rear mountain of the Sword Hut?”

“I don’t quite understand either.” Sun Zhongyang sighed with emotion. “But where else could this level of swordplay have appeared from? Let me ask you. He is at most 18 years old. Were you as powerful as him when you were 18 years old? Could you kill others with his calmness? I killed a person for the first time when I was 19, and vomited for three straight days!”

Mo Xiaoya could not understand. How could a young man who she had looked down upon suddenly appear from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut?

Or, even if Lu Shu was not from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut, she could not understand why Lu Shu was so strong. Just as Sun Zhongyang had said, Lu Shu’s sword energy was tyrannical. Even a Rank One could be injured if they were not careful.

Mo Xiaoya had never seen any Rank Twos who were evenly matched with Lu Shu.

At that moment, Lu Shu caught up to the Rank Two expert, who was running away. He summoned his sword energy from his fingertip and pierced through his back. It was a quick death.

Just as Sun Zhongyang and the rest were deep in thought, they suddenly heard Lu Shu acting as if he was surprised. “Hm? Although this carriage is broken at the back, we can always repair it. Do you want to buy it?”

Song Bo was miserable. “Obviously, it’s a cart with no owner.”

Lu Shu picked up the shell on the ground and pointed it at Song Bo. “Rephrase your sentence.”

“It’s your carriage, yours, yours…”

“From Song Bo’s distress, +999!”
