Chapter 589 The power of the Crow Mark!

Ma Yunlu was stunned and looked at Wang Sheng apologetically: "Sorry, Wang Sheng, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, she nodded to Wang Sheng, turned around and followed the middle-aged man away.

Wang Sheng stood there, scratched his head, and walked back to the team with some disappointment.

Seeing this, Oscar couldn't help but tease: "So, the hero's rescue failed?"

Wang Sheng sighed and walked towards Lu Yu: "Lu Yu, I wanted to chat a little more, but the person next to her told me not to ask too many questions, and she left."

Lu Yu patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, brother.

You already know her name, isn't that progress? She probably really has a mission, everyone in the escort agency is like that, very cautious."

Wang Sheng nodded, but there was still a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "Tell me, do I still have a chance?"

"Of course!"

Lu Yu smiled and patted his chest, "Don't worry, I'll give you some advice and make sure you can get the girl!"

Ning Rongrong snorted and squinted at Lu Yu: "Lu Yu, you are getting more and more talkative.

Tell me, where have you been? I've been looking for you for ages, but you're nowhere to be found."

Lu Yu was stunned, touched his nose, and laughed dryly: "I... didn't I go shopping with you and buy some things."

"shop?"

Ning Rongrong blushed and glared at him, "How dare you say that! Who told you to drag me to the inn? Xiao Wu and the others laughed at me for a long time!"

Lu Yu laughed and whispered in her ear: "Rongrong, aren't you having a good time shopping too? Besides, I see you like the pair of jade bracelets you bought."

Ning Rongrong's face turned even redder as she raised her hand and pinched his waist, saying angrily, "Lu Yu! If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to ignore you!"

Lu Yu exclaimed exaggeratedly, rubbed his waist, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything.

Rongrong, you have quite a bit of strength in your hands."

Seeing this, Oscar and others around started to make a fuss, and their laughter echoed outside the inn.

As night fell and the stars twinkled, the Shrek people sat around the campfire, their laughter intertwined with the firelight, revealing a youthful vitality.

However, Lu Yu's eyes drifted towards Ning Rongrong from time to time, with a bit of tenderness and smile in his eyes.

In the wooden building of the inn, sunlight shines through the carved window lattices and shines on the mottled wooden table, reflecting a warm yellow.

Lu Yu leaned lazily on the back of the chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand. The aroma of tea was lingering in the air, but his eyes were a little wandering.

Oscar was sitting opposite him, talking about something excitedly and gesturing with his hands, as if trying to make the story more vivid.

"Lu Yu, guess who Wang Sheng met yesterday?"

Oscar's eyebrows danced with joy, his voice tinged with sarcasm. "That's Ma Yunlu from the escort agency! Yes, that's Ma Chao's sister! Didn't we meet her last time outside Soto City? Tsk tsk, when Wang Sheng saw her, his eyes widened and his soul almost flew away!"

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, paused the teacup in his hand, and showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Ma Yunlu? Ma Chao's sister? Oh, this is quite interesting.

I didn't expect that this fool Wang Sheng would have such good fortune."

He paused, his eyes glancing at Wang Sheng, who was chewing a bun beside him. "Tell me, what happened yesterday? Did you bump into me again?"

Wang Sheng, who had half a bun stuffed in his mouth, blushed when he heard the words and almost choked. He quickly swallowed it and waved his hand, saying, "Don't listen to Oscar's nonsense! There's no such thing as a lucky break! I just... I just happened to run into her while passing by and chatted for a while!"

He scratched his head, his eyes evasive. "She looks like she just finished a convoy. She's dusty and exhausted, but still full of energy."

Lu Yu chuckled, put down the teacup, stood up and stretched: "From your tone, your soul has really been hooked away.

Well, it's boring sitting here, why not go out for a walk and relax. "

He turned to look at Ning Rongrong, who was quietly eating pastries, and softened his voice, "Rongrong, what do you say? Let's go out for a walk?"

Ning Rongrong looked up at him when she heard this, a sly look flashed in her eyes, she put down the cake in her hand and clapped her hands gently: "Okay, we'll go wherever Brother Lu Yu says.

But first I need to go upstairs and change, this dress isn't suitable for running around in."

She stood up, her skirt swaying slightly, with a sweet smile, "Wait for me for a moment!"

Lu Yu nodded, his gaze lingering on her turning back for a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Oscar came over and whispered teasingly: "Tsk, Lu Yu, your eyes, tsk, tsk, so gentle that I can squeeze water out of them."

Lu Yu glanced at him and replied unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense, pack up and get ready to go out."

After a while, Ning Rongrong changed into a lavender suit with an exquisite ribbon tied around her waist, which made her look light and elegant.

She went downstairs and smiled at Lu Yu: "Let's go, Brother Lu Yu!"

The three of them left the inn. The street was bustling with people, shouting one after another, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and candied haws.

Wang Sheng walked in front, his steps a little hurried, as if he was trying to hide something.

Lu Yu and Ning Rongrong walked side by side, while Oscar followed behind, humming a tune and glancing around.

As soon as I turned a street, I ran into a familiar figure.

Ma Yunlu was wearing a neat green gown and a short knife at his waist, looking very heroic.

She was leading a horse, and seemed to have just returned from outside the city, with a somewhat dusty look on her face.

Seeing Lu Yu and the others, she was slightly startled, then she smiled heartily: "Oh, isn't this Lu Yu and Wang Sheng? And... Miss Ning and Oscar, what a coincidence!"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Miss Ma, long time no see.

Judging from your posture, did you just finish a convoy escort mission? "

Ma Yunlu nodded and patted the package on the horse's back: "I just finished delivering a batch of goods. It went very smoothly. I will be returning to Soto City tomorrow."

She turned her gaze and landed on Wang Sheng, saying jokingly, "Wang Sheng, last time you said you would treat me to a meal, the bill hasn't been settled yet. When are you going to make it happen?"

Wang Sheng blushed and stammered, "This...I haven't found a suitable restaurant yet! Don't worry, Miss Ma, I'll definitely do it next time!"

He scratched his head and chuckled twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly, then leaned over to Lu Yu's ear and whispered, "Brother Lu Yu, look at Wang Sheng's expression. His soul has been completely seduced."

Lu Yu chuckled and was about to make a joke when he suddenly frowned and looked up.

"careful!"

He growled, a cold glint in his eyes.

Almost instantly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and an arrow wrapped in soul power shot out from the darkness of the street corner, heading straight for Ma Yunlu's back! Lu Yu reacted extremely quickly, his soul power instantly mobilizing. With a wave of his right arm, an invisible force spread out, and he whispered, "Seal fate!"

The space seemed to be distorted at this moment. Lu Yu, Ma Yunlu, Wang Sheng and Ning Rongrong teleported several meters and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

"boom!"

The arrow missed its target and stabbed into the ground fiercely, sending up a shower of rubble and the aftermath causing several people to lose their balance.

Lu Yu steadied himself, protected Ning Rongrong, and shouted in a low voice: "Who?! Get out!"

Before he finished speaking, several more arrows were shot out, each of which was wrapped in explosive soul power, exploding one after another on the street, dust flying, and pedestrians screaming and scattering.

A cold light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and he cast "Seal Fate" again.

, and teleported with everyone continuously, finally avoiding this wave of attack.

In the smoke and dust, a short man in black slowly walked out, his face covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

His breath was as heavy as a mountain, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Lu Yu's heart sank. This aura... was at least above Soul King, perhaps even higher! "Hand over Ma Yunlu, and I will spare your lives."

The man in black spoke in a hoarse voice, carrying an unquestionable pressure.

Ma Yunlu's face changed, and he gripped the short knife at his waist tightly. He whispered, "Lu Yu, this person... I seem to have some impression of him, but I can't remember him..."

Before she could finish her words, the man in black snorted coldly, and his soul power suddenly exploded. Five soul rings rose from his feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black! Soul King! Wang Sheng gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and shouted angrily, "If you want to touch Miss Ma, you must get past me first!"

He unleashed his full soul power, and five soul rings rose up. Shockingly, his first soul ring was a pitch-black, ten-thousand-year soul ring! "Blue Dragon Tyrant Body!"

Wang Sheng roared, and a layer of green dragon scales appeared on the surface of his body. His aura surged, like an angry dragon.

The black-clothed man's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in shock: "The first soul ring of ten thousand years?! You... who are you?!"

He was obviously shocked by Wang Sheng's spirit ring, and there was a hint of fear in his tone.

Lu Yu didn't give him a chance to breathe. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he shouted, "Forbidden Demon Realm!"

An invisible domain instantly spread out, covering an area of ten meters. The black-clothed man's soul power was suddenly suppressed, and the light of his soul ring dimmed a little.

He took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, using the fierce Jeet Kune Do moves to hit the man in black like a storm.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sounds of fists and feet clashing were endless. Although the man in black had the strength of a Soul King, his soul power was limited in the forbidden magic area, and his physical defense could not stop Lu Yu's Jeet Kune Do attack.

After a few moves, his face was already bruised and purple, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he looked in a miserable state.

"Damn boy!"

The man in black roared and forcibly mobilized his soul power, trying to break free from the suppression of the forbidden magic field.

At the moment when his soul power recovered, a cold light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and a peculiarly shaped metal object appeared in his hand - the 416 pistol in the system space.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, a flash of fire, and the bullet accurately pierced the forehead of the man in black.

The man in black didn't even have time to scream before his body fell straight down, and the light of his soul ring went out instantly.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock: "Brother Lu Yu, what...what kind of weapon is this?!"

Ma Yunlu and Wang Sheng were both horrified, having obviously never seen such a terrifying killing weapon.

Lu Yu put away his pistol and said in a deep voice, "Don't just stand there, hurry up! This is too noisy, and trouble will ensue!"

He evacuated quickly with the three of them, bypassing several streets and alleys and entering a secluded courtyard.

In the small courtyard, several people were gasping for breath, still in shock.

Ma Yunlu stared at Lu Yu and couldn't help asking, "Lu Yu, is that thing of yours... a soul guide? I think I saw something similar ten years ago!"

She paused, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes, "That year, my father was escorting a treasure that was said to be a weapon that could change the course of the war. However, they were intercepted halfway, the escort company was destroyed, and my father died.

There are rumors that my father embezzled the treasure, but I know he is not that kind of person! "

Lu Yu's heart was shocked, and he frowned and said, "A weapon that can change the situation of the battle? Something like my pistol?"

He looked down at the 416 in his hand, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

How could modern firearms appear on Douluo Continent? The trajectory of this world seemed to have quietly changed because of his arrival.

For example, during his training in the Star Dou Great Forest, he did not meet Meng Yiran, but Tang San was valued by the Dragon God and the Snake Goddess and was accepted as a disciple. These were all different from the original trajectory.

Wang Sheng looked at Ma Yunlu and asked in a deep voice, "Miss Ma, you said you had some impression of that man in black. Is it related to what happened ten years ago?"

Ma Yunlu bit his lip, his eyes confused: "I...I can't remember clearly.

I was still young back then, and I only remember the murderer was very strong, and there seemed to be a strange mark on his body, like a twisted snake pattern."

She shook her head and said in a low voice, "I've always wanted to find out the truth, but there are too few clues..."

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, his mind churning with thoughts.

This world is far more complicated than he imagined.

The appearance of the man in black, Ma Yunlu's old story, and the mysterious treasure of firearms... everything seems to be pointing to a bigger conspiracy.

"Brother Lu Yu, what should we do next?"

Ning Rongrong tugged at his sleeve, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, his eyes determined: “Let’s go back to Soto City first and find out where this man in black came from.

Miss Ma, I will help you keep an eye on your affairs."

He paused and smiled, "However, Wang Sheng, your Azure Dragon Tyrant Body is really intimidating. It almost shocked me."

Wang Sheng laughed foolishly and scratched his head, saying, "Hey, Lu Yu, that pistol of yours is truly terrifying! You killed the Soul King with just one shot!"

He looked at Ma Yunlu, his eyes softening. "Miss Ma, don't worry. I'll also help investigate your father's case!"

A trace of gratitude flashed in Ma Yunlu's eyes, and he nodded: "Thank you..."

Lu Yu patted Wang Sheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, stop being sentimental here.

Let's go back to the inn, pack our things, and set off early tomorrow morning!"

He turned to look at Ning Rongrong and said gently, "Rongrong, go back and have a good rest. Don't think too much about what happened tonight."

Ning Rongrong nodded obediently, took his arm, and said softly: "With Brother Lu Yu here, I'm not afraid of anything."

They smiled at each other, walked under the moonlight, and disappeared at the end of the courtyard.

The night wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness.

on.

Ma Yunlu lowered his head, holding a worn wine gourd tightly in his hand, with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he was recalling some heavy past events.

The firelight reflected on his face, outlining his weather-beaten features.

"Tell me, what is the origin of the power of the Crow Mark?"

Lu Yu's low voice broke the silence of the night.

He folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the stone pillar in the yard, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Ma Yunlu sighed, took a sip of wine, his Adam's apple rolled and his voice became hoarse: "When I was a child, when my father was still alive, I met those people.
