Peerless Taoist

"This is a battlefield, and they actually use civilians as cannon fodder."    

The surrounding soldiers who were watching from the sidelines started to curse.    

The battle between the two armies did not disturb the civilians. This was a rule that both sides tacitly agreed on. However, the Tang army was the first to break it.    

Lu Yu looked at the civilians on the scene. Even those who survived were still injured.    

"Come here." Lu Yu suddenly pointed at a man.    

The man was very fat, and the armor on his body looked very bloated. Many of the armor plates were also opened.    

"Me?" The man carefully walked over and bowed to Lu Yu. "Greetings, sir."    

"Give me your hand." Lu Yu said lightly.    

The man scratched his head. "I work in the Tiger Cage. My hands are too rough. I don't want to dirty my lord's eyes."    

Lu Yu's face was cold. He said word by word, "Spread out your hands for me to see."    

The other soldiers heard the change in Lu Yu's tone and surrounded him.    

The man's face changed slightly, but he still opened his hand.    

It was a rough hand covered with calluses. When this man came out of the Tiger Cage Pass, he should be in quite a sorry state. His palms were full of mud and stains.    

Since the man said that he was a laborer, his hands were too normal.    

In many of the slums in the Imperial Capital, there were people like this gathered. These people did not have much potential. The cultivation level was not high, and some were even mortals. They could only do some hard work to maintain their livelihood.    

Lu Yu looked at the palms and suddenly asked, "It seems that you usually use your left hand when you use a knife."    

In his left palm, there was a deep calluses.    

The surrounding soldiers were very familiar with it. That was the mark that would be left if they held something for a long time.    

The man cried out in grievance, "Sir, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. Tiger Cage Pass is a military city, and we are people normally. If we were to be called soldiers during wartime, we would be trained a lot. Naturally, we would leave behind traces. "    

Lu Yu coldly snorted and suddenly pointed at one of the man's fingers. "Then this mark of being burned by a magic treasure was also left behind by training?"    

"This mark should be a fire attribute magic treasure, right? In Great Yu's army, only military officers and elite soldiers were equipped with magical treasures. You worked hard in Tiger Cage Pass. Do you have any magical treasures? "    

When the man heard this, his pupils constricted violently.    

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the man pulled out his hidden saber and lunged at Lu Yu.    

Swoosh!    

Everything was done in an instant.    

Even the soldiers beside Lu Yu did not have the time to react.    

Lu Yu's eyes flashed. He raised his hand and grabbed the knife in the man's hand.    

The knife was very sharp, but when it touched Lu Yu's palm, it made a sound of metal hitting metal, as if it had poked an iron plate.    

Kacha!    

Lu Yu squeezed lightly, and these blades instantly shattered.    

At the same time, Lu Yu held the broken blades in his hand and slashed at the man's neck.    

Puchi!    

Blood flowed everywhere, and a bloody wound appeared on the man's neck.    

"You, you..." The man covered his neck in pain as he powerlessly fell to the ground.    

At the same time, a long whistle was heard coming from the crowd. A few people rushed out of the crowd and charged toward the surrounding Great Yu soldiers.    

"Do you think you can run away by yourself?!" Lu Yu pointed his finger, and thousands of sword energies burst out from his fingertip.
