Just as the hook-nosed elder's iron whip was about to strike a vital point on the man in black's chest—
The man in black suddenly shook his head.
In the next instant, a blade flashed from the man's scabbard, so brilliant it stunned the elder.
The hook-nosed elder's pupils widened.
He never imagined he would be killed in a single strike by the young man in black before him.
Before his consciousness faded, he finally understood. The headshake had clearly been saying he was too weak.
The gap between two masters of the same realm could sometimes be greater than that between a man and a dog.
Only this time, he was the dog.
Seeing his greatest protector slain in a single strike, Lu Yao let out a bizarre squeal like a frightened pig.
The other Lu Family masters gasped when they saw this.
Without a moment's hesitation, they all dashed for the exit.
These men had only remained with the Lu Family because of the hook-nosed elder. Now that he was dead, they saw no reason to stay.
