Free Web NovelChapter 152: Chapter 152: Fury Dragon Spear Slash, the Might of the Dragon General
From within the crowd, Li Wumian cackled, "Die, die, die..."
Every utterance of the word was filled with such glee.
The memory of being a prisoner for nearly a month made him furious to the point of exploding every time he thought of it. These descendants of the Azure Flame Sect had all tied him up, and if the situation weren’t so inopportune, he would have killed them with his own hands.
Just as Fan Jinhua’s eyes turned bloodshot, just as Luo Wendeng and the others were closing their eyes to await their deaths...
"Fury Dragon Spear Slash!"
A powerful roar echoed as the gleam of a spear flashed across the necks of several henchmen.
In that instant... SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!
Wherever the spear’s light passed, heads flew high into the air. Several henchmen were instantly cut down, blood fountaining everywhere.
The sight made Luo Wendeng and the young Guards, who had been resigned to death, stare with wide eyes. Fan Jinhua let out a long breath of relief, his own eyes widening. ’Who just saved us?’
Li Wumian, still in the crowd, was stunned. He cursed under his breath, ’Which bastard was that?’
WHOOSH...
Behind the spear’s light, a figure landed before Luo Wendeng and the others.
All they could see was a figure holding a long spear, his posture as straight and sharp as a blade, radiating an intense killing intent and will to fight.
Yu Xiaoping was the first to cry out, "Brother Lu..."
At the same time, Fan Jinhua exclaimed in delighted surprise, "Little Brother Lu Chao."
He shouted as he blasted an attacker away and rushed to Lu Chao’s side. The others also began to cry out in joyous surprise.
But Lu Chao did not answer...
Instead, he stared coldly at the dozens of assailants surrounding them. The spear in his hand trembled, seeming to emit the roar of a dragon.
He had, of course, simply snatched this long spear from someone in the crowd.
’They’re all well-trained masters of slaughter, all at the Innate Seventh and Eighth Layers.’
Lu Chao quietly made his assessment. ’This is going to be tricky.’
He and Fan Jinhua might survive the attack, but Luo Wendeng and the others would likely suffer heavy casualties.
From the crowd, Li Wumian’s eyes burned with intense hatred...
’It’s that damned Fake Lu Chao again.’
His mind flashed back to when Lu Chao had disguised himself as the Little Doctor. After being captured, he had of course realized that Lu Chao and Fan Jinhua were on the same side. If it hadn’t been for this Fake Lu Chao, he never would have ended up getting kidnapped. freēwebnovel.com
Li Wumian hadn’t forgotten that he had tried to steal the credit for the boy’s medical treatment, and he certainly didn’t think he’d done anything wrong.
’Although Patriarch Zheng said he wanted him to die at Zheng Zhuhai’s hands...’
’...since he dared to show up, we’ll just eliminate him along with the others... Kill!’
Li Wumian’s command to kill echoed coldly from the crowd. Without hesitation, the dozens of expert killers charged toward Lu Chao and the others once more.
As before, their actions had to be swift. If they waited for the Guards from the city gate to rush over, it would be troublesome.
By now, the City Gate Guards had of course reacted and were hurrying over.
From the start of the ambush to the present, only a dozen or so breaths of time had passed.
Facing the dozens of expert killers charging toward him, Lu Chao fiercely gripped the long spear. The Dragon General Bone True Qi within his Life-taking Devouring Bone surged out, and he circulated it through his body up to his throat.
Then... ROAR!
An explosive roar erupted from Lu Chao’s mouth, like the earth-shattering cry of a dragon.
In that moment, the dozens of expert killers who had almost reached them were stunned by the sound wave, freezing on the spot. An intense fear seemed to well up in their hearts.
Subconsciously, they began to fall back.
At the same time, nearly everyone in the crowd covered their ears and also retreated steadily.
Not wanting to expose themselves, Li Wumian and his disciple had no choice but to retreat with the crowd.
Ren Hui also covered her ears, exclaiming in shock, "What kind of power is this? How can he force back dozens of people whose realms are higher than his?"
As she spoke, she stared intently at Lu Chao...
She saw him standing there, holding his spear like a divine general. It was as if behind him stood not Fan Jinhua and a small squad of Guards, but a mighty army of thousands. He was like a general on the battlefield, routing the enemy with a single roar.
Of course, Li Wumian and his disciple did not know that this was a general’s might—the might of a Dragon General.
Lu Chao himself was the Great Martial Emperor Star, an existence invincible on the battlefield. Paired with the innate power of a general’s might from his Dragon General Bone, he naturally possessed a terrifying, domineering general’s aura. When channeled into a roar, this might could strike terror into the hearts of his enemies.
If his realm were higher, or if he had completely finished his Cultivation of the Dragon General Bone Meridian Map, a single glance would have been enough.
At that moment, Li Wumian roared again in a low voice, "It’s just some mind-shaking trick! Watch me break it... Kill!"
Another killing command boomed from Li Wumian’s mouth.
Unleashed with the power of his Transformation Realm Peak, it shot straight for Lu Chao.
Lu Chao sensed it instantly, but the gap between their realms was too vast. If he were at the Innate Ninth Layer, he could have completely ignored it, but not now. He immediately shouted, "Tiger Roar Bone, move with me!"
The Dragon General Bone inherently possesses the ability to control soldiers and boost their morale.
Fan Jinhua possessed the Tiger Roar Bone, a bloodline passed down from Fan Changcun’s Tiger General Bone. Although he hadn’t inherited the Tiger General Bone itself, the Tiger Roar Bone was still a classic Destiny Bone for a great general in the army.
It was the bone of a vanguard general who charges and shatters enemy formations!
Driven by the Dragon General Bone, an instinctive impulse seemed to surge from Fan Jinhua’s Tiger Roar Bone.
Then, from Fan Jinhua’s mouth... ROAR!
The sound of a tiger’s roar exploded forth. In coordination with the power of Lu Chao’s Dragon General Bone, it shattered Li Wumian’s killing command and once again blasted the dozens of expert killers, forcing them back again and again.
Their minds were thrown into disarray, as if they had been trampled by a stampeding army.
At that moment, Lu Chao stopped his dragon roar and said to Luo Wendeng and the others, "Master Fan, keep going! We’re retreating!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he led the group in a flash toward the City Gate Guards.
Fan Jinhua, however, remained in place, continuing to let out his tiger roar to intimidate the expert killers. By the time he could no longer hold them back... Lu Chao and the others had already retreated to the safety of the City Gate Guards.
The City Gate Guards were also stunned by the Dragon General’s might, each of them looking a bit dazed.
Lu Chao paid them no mind; retreating to their position meant they were safe.
The Celestial King Academy would never be audacious enough to attack the Royal Capital’s City Gate Guards. Sure enough, once the expert killers recovered from the shock of the dragon and tiger roars, they didn’t dare advance any further.
They were waiting for their next command.
In the crowd, Li Wumian’s face twisted as he realized the mission had failed. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Retreat..."
Hearing the order, all the expert killers quickly turned and vanished into the crowd.
At the same time, Li Wumian could only say hatefully, "Let’s go!"
Since the mission had failed, Marquis Jilong was sure to investigate soon, as would the City Guard and various other commanders. Of course, they had to leave the scene immediately.
Otherwise, if Yin Ye were to appear, he would probably dare to eliminate him on the spot.
But just as they turned to leave, Lu Chao’s voice rang out again. "Li Wumian, you think you can leave without leaving something behind?"
