Chapter 522: Sky from the Clouds
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Kudzu caressed the sky from the clouds in his hand as if he was a father looking at his own son. This was his pride and his lifelong obsession. Now, he was at the final stage.
Kudzu looked at Lei Luo with a burning gaze. He looked into Lei Luo’s eyes and said, “There’s one last step left, Mr. James. I don’t have any other thoughts. I only hope that you can comply with Miss Sakakami’s wish to protect this land and repair the seal of the gate of the Devil Realm. In addition, I just want you to cherish this sword.”
After saying that, he seemed to have made a great decision. He turned the sky from the clouds and stabbed straight into his heart. The hot blade of the sword bloomed with warm blood behind Ge Tengzhai.
“This is the last step. The birth of the divine sword will be stained with blood. Let me be the beginning of this person’s blood. Mr. James is very happy to see you at the end.”
Lei Luo and Ge Tengzhai were only a few steps away from each other. When Lei Luo saw him pick up the sword and was about to stab himself, Lei Luo immediately rushed forward to stop him. However, he did not expect Ge Tengzhai to be so decisive. He could only watch as Ge Tengzhai stabbed the sword in his hand into his body.
After spending the past few days together, although the two of them were only trading, Lei Luo still admired his temperament as a craftsman who focused on forging swords.
Fresh blood soaked the pale ground. Lei Luo stepped forward and watched the scene unfold. He did not know why they were able to die so calmly. Their ideals had always been so insignificant in the face of this cruel reality.
Holding Ge Tengzhai who was pierced through by the sky cloud, Lei Luo felt a little uncomfortable. Even if he had unparalleled strategy and superb magic, he was still unable to determine these people’s determination to die.
He carefully pulled out the sky-cluster clouds from the man’s chest. He felt a myriad of mixed feelings as he felt the connection between him and the sky cluster clouds.
It was as if he could vaguely see Ban Shang smiling at him. When he saw the look in the man’s eyes, he was very confused.
He hugged the man’s body and pulled the sky cluster clouds into God’s space. The warriors from the Takeda family had already surrounded this place.
Ge Tenghong, the arrogant son of Ge Tengzhai, walked up to Lei Luo and said, “Quickly hand over my father’s sword. It was left to me by my father.”
It seemed that he had not seen his performance at the martial arts competition. He also knew where he was from looking at his body that had been emptied by alcohol and sex.
“Get lost!”
Accompanied by Lei Luo’s low roar, Ge Tenghong was so frightened by Lei Luo’s aura that he fell to the ground. His voice trembled as he said, “You must know that this is the divine sword that was internally fixed by the Takeda family head. If you dare to defy the family head’s will, you will die right now!”
As if he said these words with great authority, he seemed to be very satisfied with his own words. He stood up and extended his hand towards Lei Luo.
As an inaudible glimmer flashed past, Ge Tenghong’s hand fell before he could feel it. Fresh blood spurted out and poured onto Lei Luo’s body.
Ge Tenghong hugged his broken arm and wailed in pain. He said in disbelief, “You! I must kill you! Armored soldiers, come in and kill him!”
The flood-like black iron armored soldiers rushed in and surrounded Lei Luo. The spears in their hands stabbed at him at the same time.
Lei Luo did not use the boy cut anymore. Now that he was hugging Ge Tengzhai, it was not convenient for him to attack many times.
The magic array of [ gravity control ] was completed in an instant on his chest. The strong gravity pressed the black iron armored warriors and the spears in their hands onto the ground tightly.
He stepped over their bodies and walked straight to Ge Tenghong’s side. He said in a cold tone, “Since you are Ge Tengzhai’s son, you may not die, but don’t let me see you again in the future.”
After saying that coldly, Lei Luo brought Ge Tengzhai’s corpse and slowly walked past the black iron armored warriors. The moment anyone tried to enter within ten meters of Lei Luo, they would immediately be crushed to the ground by the huge force until Lei Luo left.
The surrounding armored warriors looked at Lei Luo who was moving in the crowd with fear in their eyes. It was as though they were looking at a monster that was about to devour someone.
The head of the Takeda clan stood at the end of the road, his gaze fierce as he looked at Lei Luo. He wanted to see if Lei Luo really wanted to fight against him.
After exchanging glances with the head of the Takeda clan, Lei Luo did not stop. He only canceled the [ gravity manipulation ] spell from the head of the Takeda clan. The head of the Takeda clan said to Lei Luo in a mocking tone, “If you dare to take Ge Tengzhai and leave the capital, I can guarantee that you will die without a burial place! Do you want to try?”
Lei Luo did not answer him. He only said indifferently to the shadow at the corner of the street, “I agreed to the general’s request. There are no conditions.”
After saying this, he ignored the Takeda clan head who was looking at him. He only shuttled through the crowd. No one dared to attack him. No one knew what conditions he and the general had reached.
After taking Ge Tengzhai out of the Jingdou government, as expected, no one attacked him. They still did not dare to challenge the general’s authority. This was because they knew that the general still needed them during this period of time. Thus, they had nothing to fear. Besides, no one was brave or brazen enough to attack the general.
He led Ge Tengzhai to a plain near the willows. Using the magic [ sinkhole ], a large pit instantly appeared on the ground. He carefully placed Ge Tengzhai’s corpse inside and used his hands to cover his body with the surrounding soil, this was the first time that Lei Luo had seen someone he knew die in front of him.
Just like how Arthur died when Karman attacked the city, Lei Luo couldn’t do anything about it. He watched as Ge Tengzhai’s body gradually disappeared under the soil.
After using the low-level spell [ condensation ], a huge stone slab was formed and stood in front of Ge Tengzhai. Lei Luo waved his hand and carved the tomb of “Blacksmith Ge Tengzhai” on the stone slab. He sat in front of the tombstone and looked at the starry sky.
Stroking the snow-white clouds in his hand, was this the divine weapon that would cause people to go crazy? He familiarized himself with the aura that blended with his own body and felt its power.
…
By morning, everyone had already heard about what happened the previous night. Everyone knew that the day’s martial arts competition would be a clash between the Takeda family head and Lei Luo. After all, the prestige of the aristocratic families was not to be challenged.
Lei Luo’s strength was not too strong that they had not decided to not deal with it. They felt that it was just a simple affair. It was just a matter of whether it was worth it or not. If the general really had an agreement with him, he could only settle him in the martial arts competition. The general would not have any reason to interfere.
Sitting on the high platform, the Takeda family head looked at the woman sitting on the main seat. This was the ruler of the northern border, General Zili.
It was rumored that she could use the power of ghosts and gods and was considered the strongest person in the northern borderline.. No one knew if it was true or not, but the people of the northern borderline believed that this general had the power to control everything.
