The vortex above the clouds was like manifestation of a Lord of Heaven’s determination. Others simply felt that it was magnificent, but to Lu Shu, it was a source of great pressure.
Lu Shu was glad that he did not bring Lu Xiaoyu and Yi Qian along with him. If not, they too would have to face these dangerous circumstances.
He was not a person who easily gave up. But under these circumstances, even Lu Xiaoyu would not be of much help. He would rather face this himself.
The limestone floor beside him, which had a radius of ten meters, suddenly broke into pieces. It was as if the entire surface of the ground had been broken by the invisible force. The sound was very frightening.
The people on the streets had disappeared. They had been hiding at the side of the road. Back then, they thought that they could observe the situation. But now, everyone knew clearly that if they did not leave, it was likely that they would die from the Lord of Heaven’s rage.
But surprisingly, Lu Shu was still standing straight.
“Not bad, not bad.” Duanmu Huangqi sat in his imperial carriage and applauded. “As expected of someone who defeated my Black Feather Army and Duanmu Yunge. You have great strength of character.”
Lu Shu knew that he would not be able to be kind today. If it were in the past, he would still be willing to make jokes. But now, he had to make his strength do the talking.
Both Duanmu Yunge and Li Liang, one who was Duanmu Yunge’s senior general and the other his biological son, had fallen. Lu Shu knew that he had a death penalty in Duanmu Huangqi’s eyes.
Lu Shu was sweating profusely under this pressure. His muscles trembled. However, his expression was very calm.
What had Lu Shu not seen after coming out of the orphanage? He had done everything in order to live. Now, a Lord of Heaven had appeared and wanted to kill him? What gave him the right to do so?
Lu Shu raised his hand with difficulty. He was no longer the pathetic boy who could only silently eat eggs alone because he could not sell them. He had the celestial map and fruits!
Lu Shu no longer cared about other affairs. He wanted to eat the nebula fruit and advance to Rank One. Then, he would unlock the fifth level of Nebula!
He no longer had any concerns. He was no longer worried that he would cause any accidental heavenly visions. If he died, then it would be of no use.
This was his final decision. Lu Shu decided to fight for his life!
At this moment, the darkening clouds in the sky gave way to the dark night sky.
The vortex of black clouds suddenly split open and gave way to a white cloud. A thunderbolt struck like a sword, causing the vortex of dark clouds to shatter.
It was as if a dark cloud and a white cloud had collided into each other. They were completely different and powerful.
Then, the sky turned blue again. It was as if there were no clouds. The clouds had disappeared in the clash between the Masters. Even the wind had stopped.
There was a voice from the Sword Hut behind the clouds. It was dimly discernible, but steadfast. It was as if it was extremely confident. “Since when did anyone dare to challenge a disciple of the Sword Hut, other than during wars? What are you doing in the palace?”
Duanmu Huangqi laughed out loud. “Can’t I play a joke on this young man? Can’t I? No one said that people are not allowed to joke with the people from the Sword Hut. No one said that the Lord of Heaven cannot enter the palace, right?” Duanmu Huangqi’s voice suddenly grew dark and cold. “If anyone feels that I should not be allowed to enter the palace, come and find me.”
The entire palace was silent. Duanmu Huangqi’s tyranny oppressed the entire palace!
This time, there was nothing from the Sword Hut behind the clouds. The heavenly cloud was only to save Lu Shu. Once Lu Shu was saved, there was no more movement.
While Duanmu Huangqi was speaking, Lu Shu suddenly submerged into the ground. Lu Xiaoyu had rushed over. She had found an opportunity to bring Lu Shu to the Sword Hut. Although Lu Xiaoyu did not know where to go, her instincts told her that the closer they were to the Sword Hut, the safer they would be. Before Lu Shu submerged into the ground, he dragged Li Liang into the ground as well. He felt that he had treated the commander of the Black Feather Army unfairly, even though there should not be any mercy and empathy on the battlefield, and Lu Shu had a clear conscience. He did not treat Li Liang unfairly. They were enemies on the battlefield. Life and death were ruled by fate.
But Lu Shu felt uncomfortable as he felt that Li Liang was not a bad person.
As for Duanmu Yunge, he was the son of Duanmu Huangqi. He was unlucky to have been eliminated. He had chosen the wrong father when he reincarnated…
Lu Shu was somewhat worried that Lu Xiaoyu would be involved, but it seemed as if Duanmu Huangqi had no intention to continue targeting him. It was as if nothing had happened.
He suddenly had a gut feeling that Duanmu Huangqi had attacked him just to pull in the senior disciple of the Sword Hut.
But Lu Shu felt that something was strange. Why was there no activity from the palace of the King of Gods?
Duanmu Huangqi was being very aggressive in the palace. Did the new King of Gods think that this was nothing and was too lazy to deal with it? Or was there another reason?
Lu Shu felt that many things were fishy. He could not understand!
Before long, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu came to a hidden courtyard. This courtyard had been prepared in advance by Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. When they bought it, Lu Shu had used his mask to change his appearance. He used this place as an asylum and safe place. It was finally put into use now.
Yi Qian was already guarding the house. When Lu Xiaoyu appeared with Lu Shu, he went to guard the entrance. Lu Shu put down Li Liang and sighed. “I wanted to hurry up and open the fifth level of Nebula. Luckily, the Sword Hut stepped in.”
Earning money was impossible. Lu Shu felt that something major would definitely happen in the palace.
“We came to the Luniverse at the wrong time.” Lu Shu lowered his voice. “I think a revolutionary change is going to happen.”
“Then what do we do?” Lu Xiaoyu asked.
“We get into the Sword Hut and quickly find a way to go back. We have to get away from here,” said Lu Shu with determination.
At that moment, Li Liang suddenly coughed. Lu Shu looked over and realized that he had slowly gained consciousness. Li Liang looked around at his surroundings. He felt that something was strange.
He suddenly asked weakly, “Why am I on the floor… is there a bed here?”
Lu Shu paused for two seconds. Then, he said, “You were completely covered in blood. When I placed you on the bed, you dirtied it.”
“From Li Liang’s distress, +748!”
“How did you end up like this?” Lu Shu asked curiously, “Was Duanmu Huangqi always so brutal?”
Li Liang laughed bitterly. He felt his broken foundation and said, “Victory and defeat is common for a military commander. In the past, he did not care even if he fought a losing battle. He used the opportunity to display his abilities.”
As expected. Lu Shu now understood that Duanmu Huangqi was just targeting him. However, he could not confirm whether he was attracting the senior disciple to step in.
But Lu Shu’s impression of Duanmu Huangqi would not change. If he had the opportunity, Lu Shu would definitely kill him.
Lu Shu thought about it. If he could advance to the Master Realm before he left, he would kill Duanmu Huangqi before leaving!
Lu Shu bore grudges. He did not deny this fact.
