A purple mark appeared on his face, and the man's previously eerie demeanor changed in an instant. At this moment, he felt a scorching pain on his face, revealing a trace of panic in his eyes.

Lu Yu had cleanly and swiftly taken down more than a dozen men just now, all witnessed by him. Now, looking at Lu Yu before him, he felt an uncontrollable tension all over his body, an indescribable discomfort.

"I'll give you one last chance now!"

At this moment, Lu Yu looked down at the man in front of him, coldly saying, "Tell me who sent you now, and I can let you go. But if you keep denying it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lu Yu's words were full of coldness, and his tone carried a thread of chill, as he stared at the man in front of him, filled with solemnity.

Seeing Lu Yu's demeanor, the man's back suddenly felt a rush of cold, and now, looking at Lu Yu before him, an overwhelming sensation of panic surged within his heart.

This feeling was like a spear piercing deep into his heart, making his entire body shiver with fear!

Gulp!

The man suddenly swallowed hard, then spoke, "I really did it for money!"

Although the man feared Lu Yu, he was even more afraid of the Sun Family from the capital!

The Sun Family's disgrace naturally wouldn't allow a man like him to speak, so in the man's impression, Lu Yu was merely a man with some skills!

"Such stubbornness!"

Upon hearing the man's answer, Lu Yu coldly said, his words devoid of any emotion: "Since you refuse to drink the toast and choose the penalty, don't blame me for being too violent."

Hahaha

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, the man suddenly burst into laughter, looking at the corpses of his men, he exclaimed, "Stop trying to scare me, I'm not even afraid of death! Do you think your little tricks can frighten me? I tell you, I...."

The man was very arrogant as he spoke, but his voice abruptly stopped halfway through!

His neck was now clutched by Lu Yu's hand, lifted like a chicken, with no way to escape no matter how he struggled.

A burly man appeared utterly helpless, like a frail lamb, in Lu Yu's hand at this moment!

"Not afraid of death?"

Hoisting the man like a chicken, Lu Yu's eyes were full of coldness: "Perhaps you don't realize that sometimes, death is simply a release!"

"Since you're unwilling to talk, I'll let you feel what happens if you don't!"

Lu Yu's words were frigid as ice, devoid of emotion, as he looked at the man before him, as if staring at a lamb ready for slaughter!

Instantly, he smashed the man to the ground, causing a dull sound.

"Did you know?"

Looking at the man, Lu Yu coldly chuckled, "Sometimes living is truly more painful than dying!"

He placed a foot on the man's left hand, skillfully twirling the Tang Blade, letting its sharp edge hover over the man's thumb, then suddenly exerting strength!

"Ah!"

With a scream, the man's thumb was instantly severed, the piercing agony causing his whole body to tremble!

As the saying goes, ten fingers are linked to the heart. Such intense pain, regular folks can hardly endure it. Amidst the torture, the man was trembling all over, eyes filled with terror!

He had never encountered someone as ruthless as Lu Yu before!

"Don't scream so loud yet, that's just the first one."

Lu Yu slightly moved the Tang Blade, let it hover over the man's index finger, speaking faintly, "You have ten fingers in total. If you scream so loud now, what about the later ones!?"

Uttering this, Lu Yu exerted strength again!

"Ah!"

Another howl escaped, in a moment, the man's index finger fell!

"Next is the middle finger..."

Lu Yu slowly shifted the Tang Blade, this time pressing the blade against the man's middle finger, his gaze deadly cold!

"No, no... stop!"

Feeling the heart-wrenching pain searing his fingers, the man spoke in panic, terror evident in his words.

Only now did he truly understand that sometimes, death indeed is a release!

If Lu Yu continued this torment, he might not die from blood loss, but from unbearable pain!

"Oh?"

Lu Yu lifted his gaze upon hearing the man's words, then asked, "Now you want to talk?"

As he spoke, the man's expression froze, hesitating repeatedly, then bit down hard, nodding decisively!

"You should've said so earlier!"

Seeing the man nod emphatically, Lu Yu coldly commented, "If you want to talk, then honestly tell me, who sent you here?"

"It was... Sun Guangzhi! The eldest grandson of Sun Yaowu, head of the Sun Family!"

Gnashing his teeth, the man declared loudly.

So it's the Sun Family!

Upon hearing the man's words, Lu Yu's eyes erupted with a chilling glare, revealing a terrifying killing intent!

Previously, in the presence of capital's bigwigs and guests, Lu Yu abstained from murder, temporarily overlooking the Sun Family!

Unexpectedly, the Sun Family had not only shown no repentance, but dared to target Leng Qingqiu.

Such audacity was a plea for death!

The Sun Family's repeated transgressions infuriated Lu Yu. Despite his leniency, they treated his kindness as a license for recklessness!

"Seems like the Sun Family must pay a bitter price before they can finally settle down!"

Lu Yu coldly stated, firm in his decision, then gazed at the man, saying, "Too bad, you probably won't see tomorrow's sun."

Speaking this, in an instance, the Tang Blade in Lu Yu's hand flashed an incandescent chill!

"No, no!"

The man protested, "You can't break your word. You said you'd spare me if I revealed the mastermind!"

"No, you misunderstood."

Lu Yu coldly responded, "I spoke before you agreed. When you agreed, I hadn't said anything!"
