Chapter 126: If You Don’t Have The Capability, Why Are You Causing Trouble?

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tao slowly turned his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, as if he were looking at a fool who didn’t know his own life was on the line.

His expression was calm, and he asked indifferently, “And what is your surname?”

This sudden question made the man pause for a moment, but he quickly regained his haughty demeanor, nostrils in the air, and proudly replied, “My surname is Qi, I am…”

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a coolness on his neck, and then his vision began to drop uncontrollably.

It wasn’t until his head landed on the ground with a “bang” that he seemed to snap back to reality.

At this moment, his eyes were still wide open, filled with terror and disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe his head had fallen off just like that, even in death.

“Uh, my head fell on the ground.”

This was the last trace of his consciousness left in the world.

Yuan Tao expressionlessly put away the thin but incredibly sharp thread in his hand. The thread gleamed with a cold light under the sunlight, as if nothing had happened.

After Yuan Tao cleanly dealt with that arrogant fellow, he lightly flicked his sleeves, as if to shake off any bad luck clinging to him.

He curled his lips and muttered, “Acting so tough, I thought your surname was Xue.”

His tone was full of disdain, as if mocking the other party’s foolish and overconfident actions.

Afterward, Yuan Tao slowly raised his head, a faint smile playing on his lips.

In the sunlight, this smile should have appeared gentle, but in the eyes of others, it was like a death warrant from hell, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

His gaze was like a physical force, slowly sweeping over the men who had come with this “headless knight.” With each person he looked at, they felt as if their necks were being sliced by a blade, their bodies trembling.

He spoke softly, his voice not loud, but carrying a chilling tone that made people tremble,

as if it were laden with the wind and snow of the coldest winter month: “And what are all of your surnames?”

This seemingly ordinary question struck the crowd like a thunderclap.

Everyone present felt a chill down their spines, as if they had been targeted by a ferocious beast ready to devour them,

their breathing becoming rapid and heavy, all understanding that they could become the other party’s prey at any moment, their lives hanging in the balance.

The cavalrymen at this moment felt a chill in their necks, as if cold water had been poured over their heads.

They never expected Yuan Tao to be so decisive, daring to attack immediately without a word, and without even considering the forces and identities behind them.

Fear instantly consumed their hearts, and several of them immediately wanted to turn and escape, their legs trembling, running blindly.

However, their fate had already been sealed.

As they moved, everyone’s heads, as if controlled by an invisible giant hand,

and as if pre-arranged, began to fall off one after another with a crackling sound.

One head after another rolled to the ground, and blood gushed from the severed necks, pooling on the ground to form a bloody mess, a truly horrifying scene.

This horrifying sight brought a hush to all the spectators.

The entire world seemed to freeze for a moment, the air filled with a strong smell of blood and an aura of fear.

The sound of swallowing could be clearly heard in the silence, and everyone stared with wide eyes, their faces full of terror, frozen in place, afraid to make a sound lest they attract Yuan Tao’s attention.

Yuan Tao’s expression was calm, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

He didn’t say anything further, but in a certain direction, he asked with a voice that was not loud but full of deterrence: “How is it, have you seen enough? If you haven’t seen enough,

I’ll perform a head-snatching trick for you again, but you’ll have to be the actor yourself.”

His gaze was fixed on a dark shadow in the distance, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see the person hiding there.

The moment his voice fell, a figure flashed past within the dark shadow in the distance, moving at extreme speed.

Although no one present saw clearly who it was, everyone basically knew.

The behavioral style of the Xue Clan and such sneakiness made everyone in the crowd guess.

“Tch, a coward. And quite ambitious.”

Yuan Tao spat disdainfully and casually remarked, then turned to disperse the onlookers.

He waved his hand and said impatiently, “Alright, alright, there’s no more good show for you to watch, you can all leave.”

His voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible authority.

Faced with the corpses littering the ground and the bloody scene still vivid in their minds, no one dared to say anything more to Yuan Tao at this moment.

Everyone obediently dispersed, one after another, not daring to linger, for fear of getting into trouble.

After everyone had dispersed, Lü Bu quickly stepped forward, his expression somewhat solemn, and said, “Shopkeeper, Jiaojiao brought a few people to the camp last night, and so far that group has been holed up in her tent and hasn’t come out.”

As Lü Bu spoke, he observed Yuan Tao’s expression, his eyes filled with confusion and vigilance.

Yuan Tao, with his hands clasped, looked listlessly at Lü Bu, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He sighed and said, “Just keep an eye on them for now. That foolish woman will eventually bring about her own downfall.

With someone like her, how could the Zhang family possibly fancy her? Don’t you have mirrors, or even urine?”

Yuan Tao’s words were full of the sentiment of “hating iron for not becoming steel,” as he deeply understood that Lin Jiaojiao’s self-important personality would sooner or later lead to great trouble.

After speaking, Yuan Tao himself sighed deeply again, as if lamenting Lin Jiaojiao’s foolishness.

He paused, then continued to Lü Bu, “Get some good rest. We might have ‘guests’ tonight, and we’ll have to entertain them properly.”

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, as if he were prepared for anything.

“Oh? Who’s coming?”

Hearing that there might be a fight, Lü Bu’s eyes lit up instantly, and he became excited, exuding an eager aura.

In Lü Bu’s eyes, combat was the way to best display his strength and heroic spirit, and he longed for every battle.

Yuan Tao looked at Lü Bu, who was practically glowing with excitement, with great amusement and shook his head helplessly.

He dealt a merciless blow, “They might not come, but the chances of them coming are quite high.”

Seeing Lü Bu’s disappointed expression, Yuan Tao felt a mix of amusement and helplessness,

He knew Lü Bu’s warlike nature well, but the current situation was not optimistic, and he had to remain calm and be fully prepared.

After all, this entire operation exuded a peculiar aura.

This aura had been constantly bothering Yuan Tao; if conditions allowed, he truly didn’t want to get involved in this muddy water.

But he was in the martial world, and his actions were not entirely his own.
