The Rural Beauty 138, 138, a chilling stillness. This content features the textual material from Chapter 138 of "The Rural Beauty." A bare, alert head cautiously peeks into the dormitory doorway. Before Land Yun has even registered what's happening, he roars and drives his staff down with a solid thud. Having learned from earlier experience, the bald man has been on high alert. As Land Yun's staff is about to strike the gleaming crown of his head, a leg of a chair suddenly extends, intercepting the inevitable blow. The bald man escapes unharmed, offers Land Yun a dark, grim smile, and raises his staff to strike him. "Die," he says. Land Yun flicks his staff aside, which slips from his grasp. The staff spins, sweeping across the bald man's face, causing a gush of nosebleed. Then, with another low roar, Land Yun lifts his left arm, leaps into the air, and with sharp glass fragments gleaming coldly under the light, drives them swiftly into the bald man's head. The bald man clutched his nose, wailing in pain, completely oblivious to the glass still held in Lu Yun's hand, only focusing on jumping up and down in place. At the critical moment, it was once again the man who had been bracing Lu Yun's stick who promptly kicked the bald man in the backside, sending him straight into the dorm room and head-first into a bed leg, where a large bump instantly formed on his head. Lu Yun's next thrust fell short, and he was startled—clearly, today he had encountered a true fighting expert. With the force of his effort, he couldn't quite stop the downward momentum, and his body carried forward slightly; he managed to maintain his balance as he landed steadily. Only then did he take a clear look and see standing just two steps outside, a compact, yet remarkably sturdy young man, with no less than twenty or so others gathered behind him. Zhao Kai! Lu Yun narrowed his eyes, and the name flashed through his mind instantly. Zhao Kai is the number one underdog at Fuli Town Middle School—though not particularly tall, he's incredibly fierce when it comes to fighting. Almost no student dares to face him, and even teachers hesitate to provoke him. This content is from Chapter 138 of "Rural Beauty." Lu Yun furrowed his brows, thinking, "How come he's here too? Is he planning to take on me now? Hah! While others fear this short, stocky guy, I'm not afraid at all! When he first joined the school, Lu Yun and Zhou Quan spent their time either dating or studying the well-known rowdy underdogs—Zhao Kai was one of their primary targets. Even when Zhou Quan left, the two had discussed several times when they might finally give the underdog elder a good beating and show off their strength. Now, with Zhou Quan gone, Lu Yun stands alone against Zhao Kai and his group. It's clear he doesn't need to think much about it. "Hey!" Lu Yun snorted, bent down to pick up the stick that had fallen to the ground, and with a smooth slide, leapt back onto the bed, maintaining his watchful stance—anyone who showed up would definitely be dealt with. Damn it! With so many people around, Lu Yun hadn’t gone crazy enough to charge into the fray yet. The longer he could hold out, the better—maybe those damn teachers would arrive earlier, or even possibly Xinlan sister would show up to help him escape! Just as Lu Yun was leaping back onto the bed, Zhao Kai spoke up from outside: “Lin, take a few of your brothers and climb in through the windows. The rest of you follow me—those who show any hesitation, don’t come crying to me when things go south. Move!” Zhao Kai’s group of about twenty people split into two groups and surged in simultaneously through the dormitory doors and windows. Good grief! This guy truly lives up to his reputation as the top rookie—far smarter than Fang Qiang and Zhou Gaoren! Lu Yun couldn't look left or right, knocking over several boys who had rushed in from the classroom door. Already someone had jumped in through the window, staring at Lu Yun and swinging a staff straight at him. With so many people overwhelming him, Lu Yun roared, sending his staff flying outwards to briefly fend off the boys rushing in from the door. He quickly turned around, raising his arm to block the staff aimed at his head, enduring the pain and leaping into the arms of the attacker, his left hand sweeping across the man's face to leave a clear, fresh gash. Thwack! The sound of that man's pig-like wailing echoed in his ears, and Lu Yun felt the same sensation as when he had beaten Zhou Gao in the small forest—everywhere in his body, as if something were rolling and writhing inside him, his skin nearly torn apart by the swelling, aching pressure. Ah—Lu Yun roared like a king of beasts, a flash of cruelty passing through his blood-red eyes. He thrust his head forward suddenly, making direct contact with the man's forehead, and the wound from the broken glass burst forth a column of blood, drenching Lu Yun's face. "Ah—" Zhao Feiyan, despite her efforts to remain calm, could no longer suppress her fear as she gazed at Lu Yun's fierce expression and let out a startled cry. This content is from Chapter 138 of "Rural Beauty." Lu Yun chuckled, "Watch over Hongyu—I'll repay you someday." Zhao Feiyan nodded instinctively. She couldn't understand how a young girl of only a few dozen years old could exude such a chilling, life-destroying aura! Yes—the aura of death. A deathly aura that sent every living being reeling in terror, dreading to meet it! In stunned silence, Zhao Feiyan suddenly found Lu Yun transformed into a divine demon in her eyes—fierce, commanding, radiating an indescribable aura of majesty. Instead of feeling afraid, she now felt a profound, fluttering excitement, especially when Lu Yun, his face streaked with blood, flashed her a bright, toothy smile. At that moment, she truly experienced the kind of spellbinding, heart-stirring enchantment that leaves one breathless. Meanwhile, Zhao Kai had already led all the small, timid girls into the girls' dormitory, where twenty-some young women, armed with wooden clubs and iron poles, now surrounded Lu Yun tightly. With numbers at their advantage, Lu Yun seemed destined for a brutal beating—possibly even death if anyone chose to strike him down. Yet, while Zhao Kai remained impassive, watching Lu Yun with steady eyes, every other girl felt exactly the same sensation as Zhao Feiyan: that overwhelming, suffocating presence of deathly aura. Everyone silently felt something strange—this experience, seen only in novels or on TV, yet never personally felt, was truly, utterly bizarre! Twenty-some students, gathered around but not attacking, stared in wide-eyed fear at Lu Yun, who was covered in blood, creating an atmosphere unlike anything they'd ever witnessed. Calmed down, the group of young, underpowered girls raised their weapons and launched relentless attacks at every part of Lu Yun's body! Zhao Feiyan closed her eyes, already picturing in her mind the scene of Lu Yun being battered senseless, and without any awareness, two shimmering tears rolled down her tightly closed eyelids. "Brother Yun, I've brought my teammates to support you!" Update complete for the rural beauty 138, 138, with a strikingly eerie atmosphere!
