Lu Shu was killing people, but everyone knew that Duanmu Huangqi had other escape plans.
Sun Zhongyang did not help Lu Shu. Xiao Mingze and Zhao Shuai did not either.
Father and son sat facing each other. Sun Xunwen said to Sun Zhongyang, “If he is unable to last tonight, there will be no more fights in the future. If he is able to bear it, even if Duanmu Huangqi is able to remain standing, I do not mind if the Sun family is to be there at his beck and call.”
Sun Zhongyang straightened his clothes and thought about it. Then, he said, “If he is able to last, what heights will he be able to achieve in the future?”
“You have the attitude of a large family, but your abilities are only enough to lead the entire family. You must observe and learn. You have to be on your own in five years,” said Sun Xunwen.
“You didn’t answer my question.” Sun Zhongyang leaned forwards slightly.
Sun Xunwen waved his hand and smiled. “It’s because I don’t know the answer either.”
If he did not know something, he would admit it. Sun Zhongyang understood that his father had always been like this.
The still candles in the brothel suddenly trembled. One of the people closed his eyes and said, “Someone, go out and take a look. Bring his head back.”
The patron got up. “I will do it.”
The person in the seat of honor nodded his head in agreement.
The slaves serving the Lord of Heaven had their own pride. The masters were separated into strong and weak masters. It was the same for Rank Ones. The patrons quietly sitting here were all veterans who had trained for many years. They had the appearance of a middle-aged person due to their long lifespan.
Duanmu Huangqi had countless slaves, but only 12 of them had survived. This was proof of their ability.
Duanmu Huangqi had ordered them to stay here for a greater plan. It would not be affected by a ferocious young man.
Everyone had seen how Duanmu Yunge and Li Liang had fallen. How could they not respect someone who killed their own child?
The person on the seat of honor suddenly looked at the middle-aged man on his left. “You go as well.”
The middle-age man cupped his hands in a farewell gesture. “Yes.”
The rest of the patrons looked at their commander in the seat of honor helplessly. They did not expect him to use two men to kill just one young man.
The seating arrangement in the central room was deliberate. The seat of honor was to be respected. Those who were strong sat on the left, while those who were weak sat on the right. This meant that out of the 12 of them, the strongest was the person in the seat of honor, followed by the person on his left.
Did they need so many people to kill this young man?
They had killed many geniuses who were not much weaker than this young man.
Although they did not know why this young man had suddenly come from the Sword Hut and started killing people, it was probably because Duanmu Huangqi had wanted to execute him. Now, the news that Duanmu Huangqi had left the palace was leaked out. Did this young man think that he would be able to take revenge?
When the patrons thought about this reason, they wanted to laugh. How childish.
There was too much hate in this world. Everyone wanted to take revenge. Little did they know that their lives would be at stake.
The two patrons walked out of the brothel one after another. They walked to the west along a limestone road. Neither of them slowed down.
Once they were done killing, all they had to do was return and make a report.
In addition to the ten patrons, there were hundreds of underlings dressed in black. They knelt outside of the central room and listened to instructions. They quietly waited outside. This was one of Duanmu Huangqi’s largest forces.
That night, almost everyone in the palace did not see Lu Shu in a favorable light. When he faced the underlings of the West Lord of Heaven, he was like a deer amongst a pack of wolves. He was lost.
The Sun family did not care about this because they felt that they could not control the situation. The Song family did not care because a person of great moral stature would distance himself away from danger. No matter what, no one felt that Lu Shu would definitely be able to win tonight, except for Jiang Shuyi.
Gu Lingfei sat on the rear mountain. Typically, she had to be strict because she was the manager of the Sword Hut. If the disciples committed a mistake, she had to be the judge and issue punishments.
She was like a form teacher on Earth, but her class was slightly bigger and slightly stronger.
“Brother, did you know him before this?” Gu Lingfei asked curiously. She supported her chin with her hands and looked at the limestone road. The young man was still running.
“It was more than just knowing him.” Jiang Shuyi smiled and shook his head.
This time, Gu Lingfei did not dig deep into Lu Shu’s origins. Suddenly, she asked, “Has he always been so infuriating, or did he become infuriating later on?”
Jiang Shuyi was dumbfounded. Then, he sighed. “He has always been that way…”
After the underlings received orders, they did not dare to act rashly… since the great patrons under the Lord of Heaven had set off, they would have to wait for them to return.
While Lu Shu was running, he looked up and laughed coldly at the underlings who were following him on the rooftops. When these people no longer attacked him, he knew that someone even stronger would do so.
Jiang Shuyi had told him that there were 12 great patrons in the brothel. They were very dangerous.
The wealthy families in the palace did not expect him to win, as they knew that Duanmu Huangqi had left behind 12 slaves with impressive military achievements.
Many felt that if Lu Shu wanted to survive, it would be best to run away before he bumped into them.
If Lu Shu knew that they were thinking, he would laugh out loud. He wanted to kill these 12 people. If he did not kill them, Lu Shu had wasted this night!
Lu Shu ran on the limestone road, as if he was engulfed by all the clouds in the entire palace. He did not know how long he had been running for, but the palace looked at him the entire time. Suddenly the air behind him started to distort. This was not the ability of a master to destroy a void. It was as if someone was hiding in the air.
The underlings along the road were like wolves, waiting for their leader to appear. Suddenly, one of the patrons appeared on the limestone road. The middle-aged man was holding…
But before anyone could react, Lu Shu had lowered his body, turned, and punched!
“The first!”
The limestone bricks behind Lu Shu had been pieced together tightly. But the force when Lu Shu turned around spread over 100 meters, causing the limestone bricks within 100 meters to break into pieces!
The first? What first? Before the patron could react, he saw that Lu Shu’s fist had punched through the air and suddenly came to a stop. He even thought that he had seen the air breaking into pieces.
Many thought that the 12 slaves under Duanmu Huangqi were strong enough, but they did not know that when Lu Shu advanced to Rank One, he was unmatched, except for masters. He was only afraid that there would be too many enemies. But now, they were coming for him one at a time!
The houses along the side of the roads suddenly shook and collapsed due to the massive force. The shop assistants, who were observing by the side, ran away. They did not dare to stay here for much longer.
In total, two patrons came one after another. The patron who came later stood on the limestone road with a dark expression on his face. He did not expect that the earlier patron had already died!
Many people in the palace were shocked. “What? Are you sure? One of them died just like that?!”
