A Blood-Moving Realm has arrived in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Chapter 73 Lifesaving Money
The punch landed squarely on Zhang Huai's body, and Lu Wushuang excitedly raised her head to look at Zhang Huai.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Huai was looking down at her as if nothing had happened.
"Are you alright?"
Why is something wrong with me?
Lu Wushuang was somewhat frustrated, having thought she could finally make him suffer a setback.
Zhang Huai ignored her and silently sensed the power he had just felt. He estimated that Lu Wushuang's punch contained about half of his power.
His current strength is about 10,000 jin, 10% of his strength is 1,000 jin, and half a jin is several hundred jin.
Back when I first transmigrated, I only had a strength of about a thousand catties. Because I was not familiar with my own strength, I was defeated by Li Mochou.
If Zhang Huai were to return to that time, with his immense strength, he could absolutely sweep aside the vast majority of masters in the world.
For Lu Wushuang and Yaoyue, this power, while insufficient to defeat Li Mochou, should be more than enough to protect themselves in front of her.
"With your current strength, the two of you should have no problem protecting yourselves against Li Mochou. You should be able to handle most of the world's top experts as well."
"Brother Zhang, what's this?"
Yao Yue couldn't help but ask.
"It's just a little gadget I developed a while ago."
Zhang Huai briefly explained the thing to the two women.
"This power won't stay in your bodies for long; it will gradually dissipate over time. But based on my observation, it should last for about half a month, which is enough time for me to come back to you."
Lu Wushuang and Yaoyue nodded blankly, still processing what Zhang Huai had just said.
Zhang Huai's ability to control people was already beyond their comprehension, and now he has this other skill, which is simply like a fairy tale.
"And then," Zhang Huai continued, "this power is consumed every time it is used, so use it sparingly unless absolutely necessary."
"Okay, Brother Zhang, we understand."
Yaoyue nodded obediently.
"Really? Can I really spar with my master now?"
Lu Wushuang couldn't help but look at her hands and murmur to herself, and for a moment she even had the thought of seeking revenge against Li Mochou.
Zhang Huai seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "It's true. Not only that, your lightness skill will also improve, making you more than capable of protecting yourself. But don't even think about seeking revenge on your master. If you unleash this power at full strength, you won't last more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
Even with Yaoyue included, I don't think you can defeat Li Mochou within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Oh, okay."
Lu Wushuang's voice sounded somewhat disappointed.
Yaoyue seemed to sense her feelings. Thinking of her parents and younger brother being killed by the Mongols, she knew she would take revenge sooner or later.
She gently took Lu Wushuang's arm and said, "Sister Wushuang, I'll go with you from now on."
"Um!"
Lu Wushuang looked at Yaoyue and nodded emphatically.
"I'll make a quick adjustment and leave first thing tomorrow morning."
"good!"
Zhang Huai sat cross-legged, ate a little something, and then closed his eyes to recharge.
This essence blood is different from the blood he releases when making medicine; it is the condensation of his spiritual power, forced out from his body.
These two drops of essence blood were quite a drain on him.
The two women then took the silver and went directly to the very center of the city.
They did not stay behind to protect Zhang Huai. Although he was somewhat weak, the two of them already had a clear understanding of Zhang Huai's strength. Without three or four experts at the level of the Five Greats, it would be impossible to defeat Zhang Huai.
So instead of waiting until tomorrow, let's distribute these silver coins now.
Zhang Huai: Your vision is too narrow.
The two women walked down the street, their stunningly beautiful faces instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Yao Yue, having been accustomed to such gazes since her days at the Yi Hong Courtyard, felt only that they were staring at her limp, and felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
These past few days, she had been as docile as a kitten in front of Zhang Huai, but in reality, it was just that Zhang Huai was too powerful and could suppress her. Although she knew that she was there to help them, she still couldn't help but get angry at this moment.
If Yaoyue hadn't stopped her, Lu Wushuang would definitely have given them a beating.
The two found a conspicuous spot and slammed the heavy silver coins onto the wooden table, almost causing it to fall apart.
Lu Wushuang's clear voice carried a hint of anger as she loudly proclaimed, "Fellow villagers, we have been entrusted by Brother Zhang Huai to distribute silver to you. This silver was all ill-gotten gains confiscated from the Mongol Prince's Palace, and now it is all being returned to you. Those who are poor, have elderly, weak, sick, or disabled members, or are destitute, are all welcome to come and receive a share."
As soon as he finished speaking, the street fell into a deathly silence, which was then followed by a suppressed commotion.
Immediately, the crowd on the street began to discuss the matter.
"Really? If you got the silver, why didn't you keep it for yourself and instead distributed it to us? Where in the world are there such kind people?"
"That's right. There's only one royal palace in this city. It's the Golden Family of Mongolia. How could they possibly have the power to confiscate the palace's wealth?"
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Yaoyue spoke softly, "Everyone, don't worry. The people from the Duankuo Prince's Mansion have all been killed by our Brother Zhang Huai, which is how we obtained this money. Ten taels per person, until it's all gone."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. The Duan Kuo Prince's Mansion, which had thousands of elite soldiers, had been wiped out by a single person! It was utterly ridiculous, and no one believed it.
The people looked at each other, their eyes filled with longing for silver, but the thought of the Mongol soldiers' brutality filled them with fear.
These days, let alone taking anything from the Mongols, even glancing at it too long could get you killed.
These two girls actually claimed that one person had slaughtered their way through the entire Mongol royal palace? That's utterly audacious! Even though everyone was starving and freezing, no one dared to take a single step forward.
Lu Wushuang hadn't expected that distributing silver would be so difficult. She had thought that as soon as she announced the money, everyone would rush to help, but now the opposite was true.
Everyone was timid and hesitant.
About half an incense stick later, a middle-aged man dressed as a waiter came running from a distance, shouting loudly, "Corpses are everywhere in the Duan Kuo Prince's mansion! The mansion is deathly silent!"
Upon seeing this, someone immediately asked, "What's inside? Are all the people really dead?"
The waiter replied, "I don't know. I only dared to peek inside from the doorway and all I saw were corpses scattered all over the floor. The noisy sounds of the past are no longer audible from the doorway."
"Could it really be true?"
Everyone was whispering among themselves.
"Are all the people in the Prince's mansion really dead?"
Someone swallowed hard and said, "If...this is true, then can we really take this silver?"
Many people still shrank back, not daring to move forward. The Mongol soldiers' usual burning, killing, and looting were deeply ingrained in their bones. Even if something really happened to the Prince's mansion, they were afraid it was a trap, and anyone who took the silver would lose their head.
But in the end, some people couldn't resist the temptation and went up to the two women to ask for money.
But as soon as he reached the two men, someone behind him angrily shouted, "Don't take it! What if the Mongol soldiers return and implicate us?"
The man immediately withdrew his outstretched hand.
The other people, who were dressed reasonably well, echoed this sentiment.
"Exactly! You can't take it!"
Lu Wu's eyes turned cold. If her purpose in coming here wasn't to save people, she would have definitely killed those people.
Yao Yue, who was standing to the side, looked at the man dressed in tattered clothes in front of her, handed him ten taels of silver, and said, "Take it. Don't be afraid. The people of the Mongol Prince's Mansion have really been killed. If you are afraid of the Mongols' retaliation, take this silver and go south. There will be a way to survive there."
Hearing Yao Yue's words, the man seemed to have made up his mind. He took the money from her hand, knelt down, and sobbed, "Thank you for saving my life. If you ever need Er Niu's help in the future, please let me know."
This man, known as Erniu, was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat. His wife had just given birth and had passed away a few days ago due to lack of food.
My mother didn't last long either; she passed away soon after.
Now even her newborn son is barely holding on.
This money was his only hope.
"Okay, go ahead."
Erniu kowtowed heavily, took the ten taels of silver from his pocket, and jogged home.
Seeing Erniu's state, several other people dressed in similarly tattered clothes came up to collect their money.
They were all people driven to desperation by life, and this money could save their lives.
"If you encounter Dog Egg anywhere, just let me know."
"My name is Wang Xiao, just like mine. Please feel free to give me any instructions, my benefactor."
"My name is Li Tie..."
"My name is Liu Haoming, but they all call me Old Man Liu..."
Everyone bowed and thanked the two.
As for those who were dressed reasonably well, they watched these people with indifference, neither moving forward nor stopping them.
Even so, the money they brought was quickly spent; there were simply too many unfortunate people.
