Chapter 420: 417 Return to Zeroer
Jiangnan, Governor Mansion.
At this very moment, Lu Wu gazed at the being before him.
Huang Song’s visage, the aged tone of his voice, the gold thunder.
Despite it being the first time they’d met, Lu Wu instantly recognized the other party.
…
Name: Huang Song (Fei Yinghao)
Power: Epic 2 Star
Epic Power: Thunder
Description: In a unique avatar state, combat power is only half, or even less, of Fei Yinghao’s original; however, it is equally terrifying.
…
On seeing the name Fei Yinghao, the warmth in Lu Wu’s eyes plummeted.
After Dudu’s incident, he held no fondness for the Twelve Elders, let alone the one who had struck Dudu with that gold thunder.
It could be said that Fei Yinghao was one of the primary culprits behind Dudu’s death.
Therefore, faced with Fei Yinghao, Lu Wu completely failed to suppress his urge to kill.
Lu Wu seethed with killing intent, and Fei Yinghao was no calmer on his side.
Upon seeing Lu Wu, he thought of his pitiable grandson.
He had invested so much for Pang Duddu, licked boots till they broke, only for the latter to end up dead at the hands of Pang Duddu.
The ocean-deep blood feud involved Pang Duddu’s part, just as much as Lu Wu’s.
This was also one reason why, despite the opposition from Elder Mountain, he still insisted on coming to kill Lu Wu.
“Brat, die for this old man!”
With a roar, Fei Yinghao launched his attack.
With a “crack”, gold thunder descended.
Fei Yinghao made his move ruthlessly, and Lu Wu swiftly reacted on his side.
“Sword Shield!”
With a light shout, above Lu Wu’s head appeared a sword qi with thorns, forming into a Sword Shield out of thin air.
This was a defense Sword Shield Lu Wu had modified from Han’s Thorny Shield.
It could defend and counterattack, a very powerful skill indeed.
Yet under the gold thunder, Lu Wu’s Thorny Sword Shield shattered in less than a second.
Lu Wu’s brow twitched, the other’s attack far exceeding his expectations. He was preparing to respond anew, but it was already too late.
The shattering of the Thorny Sword Shield was just the beginning; the subsequent burst from his opponent was the real threat.
Lu Wu had just enough time to slash out ice-blue Sword Qi to defend against the aftermath of the gold thunder when Huang Song, wrapped in gold thunder, arrived in front of Lu Wu.
“Die for this old man!”
Amidst a bellow.
Fei Yinghao’s hand turned into a claw of gold thunder, grabbed Lu Wu’s face, caught him as they plummeted from the sky, and violently smashed him into the ground with great force.
“Boom!”
The moment Lu Wu hit the ground, a surge of gold thunder erupted from underground, piercing the entire sky from below.
Illuminating the whole Fucheng thoroughly.
In the blinding gold light, Lu Wu, who had just been smashed into the ground, was again seized by Fei Yinghao and flung towards the sky.
In the instant Lu Wu was overhead, Fei Yinghao below took a deep breath, made a grasping motion with his left hand, and violently pulled.
Suddenly a chain of gold thunder twisted into existence around Lu Wu, the chain rigidly snapping straight and halting Lu Wu mid-air.
Fei Yinghao narrowed his eyes, speaking faintly.
“Thunder Burial!”
The next moment, the sky where Lu Wu was turned utterly golden.
Gold clouds enshrouded Lu Wu, layer upon layer.
Immediately, unimaginable and boundless Thunder fell like rain, completely enveloping Lu Wu within it.
Fortunately, Fei Yinghao still had some sense, and this wave erupted when he had blasted Lu Wu thousands of meters into the sky.
If he had done it directly on the ground, the whole of Fucheng would probably have been destroyed.
Even now, with the explosion happening thousands of meters high in the sky, the impact on Fucheng was still immense.
The mere explosion of Thunder had caused the entire city’s power grid to collapse, and the sound shattered over ninety percent of all the glass in the city.
An Epic Level fighter was indeed terrifying.
And Fei Yinghao was truly fearsome, a fact that Lu Wu was really feeling now.
That “Thunder Burial” was a power so great it was like a natural disaster, no, it was even beyond a natural disaster.
Within this Thunder Burial, Lu Wu’s body was pierced with holes everywhere.
In less than five minutes, when the Thunder scattered, there was hardly a spot on Lu Wu’s body that was intact.
Fei Yinghao’s figure flashed, and he appeared directly in front of Lu Wu.
With a wave of his hand, golden Thunder appeared again, firmly binding Lu Wu.
Having captured Lu Wu, there was no look of triumph on Fei Yinghao’s face.
To him, this did not seem worth boasting about; although Lu Wu was an Epic 1 Star being, the gap between him and the Twelve Elders was worlds apart.
Capturing Lu Wu was naturally not something he took pride in.
While Lu Wu was firmly bound, he looked up and said something nonsensical to Fei Yinghao, “So, this is the sort of existence that Dudu was facing before?”
Fei Yinghao was taken aback and responded indifferently, “She faced a stronger me than now!
Honestly, you are far behind compared to her.
Even without using the power of the Fragment, she has the strength to contend with this avatar of mine. As for you?
You’re far too lacking!”
“I know, but that’s okay, I will grow!
The person she failed to kill, I will kill!”
Fei Yinghao tightened the chains on Lu Wu, “I’m afraid you won’t have that chance!”
“No, I still have that chance!”
A smile suddenly appeared on the charred corners of Lu Wu’s mouth, and in the next moment, the Undead aura belonging to Han circulated within Lu Wu, allowing his body, which had been riddled with holes, to begin to heal at a visible rate.
Fei Yinghao’s expression darkened, “Did I allow you to recover?”
As the golden Thunder was about to burst forth again, Lu Wu chillingly said, “Did I permit you to run wild?”
This left Fei Yinghao completely baffled.
Was Lu Wu not seeing the situation clearly?
Was this the time for him to say such things? Did he not realize his life…
“No, wait!”
Fei Yinghao’s expression changed suddenly, unbelieving as he looked up at Lu Wu, feeling his power being pulled back.
“Don’t look at me like that, after all, I am the strongest Cultivation Master. It’s quite normal for me to detect the medium of your avatar’s arrival.
And it’s even more normal to send your avatar packing.”
As Lu Wu spoke, the necklace around Fei Yinghao’s neck suddenly shattered amid the golden Thunder.
“Oh, and by the way, it’s quite normal for a genius like me to learn a bit of your Skill.
Using your Skill to destroy your talisman when it’s not your true self is just standard procedure.”
As he said this, Lu Wu’s expression suddenly turned icy cold.
“So, please go back where you came from!”
As Lu Wu’s words hit the ground, the necklace around Fei Yinghao’s neck fell, and his strength was rapidly retracted.
As his power and consciousness were being pulled back, Lu Wu’s gaze coldly delivered the final threat.
“Keep your neck clean, I might come to twist off your dog head at any time.”
The next moment, the golden Thunder disappeared, and the Fei Yinghao in front of Lu Wu turned back into Huang Song.
Huang Song’s face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to say something.
“Shut up, then go to die!”
As Lu Wu’s voice tinged with anger rose, the golden thunder erupted, and the newly appointed Governor of Jiangnan just died under the golden thunder replicated from Fei Yinghao by Lu Wu.
Casually squashing Huang Song, as if he was squishing an ant.
Lu Wu landed back in the Governor Mansion, randomly grabbed a person, and forced him to divulge Jiang Yuexing’s whereabouts.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuexing’s whereabouts were not a secret.
Almost everyone knew that after the arrival of the new Governor, the former one had been thrown into prison.
She was currently being held in the Sea Suppression Tower.
After learning of Jiang Yuexing’s location, Lu Wu made his way immediately to the Sea Suppression Tower.
At that moment, the Sea Suppression Tower was on high alert.
After all, they had all witnessed the commotion in Fucheng.
Of course, their alertness was nothing in the eyes of Lu Wu.
Originally, Lu Wu had no intention of doing anything special; he was just planning to go in and take Jiang Yuexing away.
However, as soon as he arrived at the Sea Suppression Tower, his brows instantly furrowed, and boundless anger erupted.
At the same time.
Inside the Sea Suppression Tower, deep within the prison.
This was the first time Jiang Yuexing had been taken out of her cell since her incarceration.
Prior to this, she had been treated well in the Sea Suppression Tower, because Zhang Yunyi had been protecting her in the shadows.
As soon as Zhang Yunyi died, some people became restless.
Now, leading the group that took Jiang Yuexing out were the investigators from the Alliance who had come to look into Pang Duddu’s incident.
They had talked to Jiang Yuexing a few times before, but never got any useful information.
Due to the presence of Zhang Yunyi and Lu Haikong, they hadn’t employed any special measures against Jiang Yuexing.
Now that Zhang Yunyi was dead, they felt free to act, and directly took out Jiang Yuexing.
In the dim prison, several well-dressed men surrounded Jiang Yuexing, whose powers were restrained.
The leader stepped forward and gave Jiang Yuexing a thunderous shout, “Jiang Yuexing, let me tell you something, your dear friend.
The Governor of Jiangbei, Zhang Yunyi, was killed not long ago.”
“That’s impossible!” Jiang Yuexing shook her head without hesitation.
Despite her disputes with that woman, she knew her better than anyone else, and it was impossible for her to die.
“I know this is one of your tactics, but you’ve made an error.
Not to mention that woman couldn’t die, even if she did, it has nothing to do with me.
Also, I really don’t have the information you want, don’t waste your time on me…”
“Slap!”
Before Jiang Yuexing could finish speaking, the leader suddenly erupted and slapped her across the face.
“No, you are wrong, her death is of great significance to you.
She was alive, and we dared not touch you, but now she’s gone, we can do whatever we want.
So, you better cooperate with us, or I will make you wish you were dead.
Don’t doubt this, after all, I am a professional in this regard.”
Jiang Yuexing’s face paled.
Just as she was about to speak, a chilling voice rang out.
“Oh? How professional?”
“Who?”
The sudden appearance of this unfamiliar voice caused everyone in the prison to change their faces, and the leader reacted the most.
He didn’t bother to look at who was speaking, and at the moment he heard the voice, his first action was to pounce at Jiang Yuexing, his blade aiming for her neck, as if to take Jiang Yuexing hostage or to kill her.
However, as soon as he moved, a flash of Sword Qi passed by, and the man in front of them was directly cleaved in two.
At the same time, Lu Wu’s figure appeared out of nowhere, his foot stomping on the upper half of the man’s body.
“Tell me, who’s behind you?”
“Lu Wu, you…”
“Forget it, there’s no need to say it, your identity as an Alliance investigator, carrying strong Evil Energy, I’ll just chalk this up to the Alliance and ‘Zero’er,’ you can die now!”
As Lu Wu spoke, he stepped down, and the man was instantly frozen into an ice block, and then shattered into pieces, dead beyond doubt.
Just as this person was reduced to icy debris, something on his body lit up.
Lu Wu glanced at it and saw it was a communication device.
With a slight smile, Lu Wu hooked his finger, and the device floated in the air as he casually activated it.
“Hello, Number 36, immediately extract Jiang Yuexing from Jiangnan and converge with me here!
Jiang Yuexing is a fine chess piece, potentially very effective against Lu Wu.”
Lu Wu recognized the voice; it was Feng Xiu, and he couldn’t help but smile.
How very coincidental, meeting this ‘old friend’ again.
Meanwhile, Feng Xiu on the other end hadn’t realized anything was amiss and continued, “Also, don’t forget about Cimu Qingzi; she’s also a fine chess piece, try to find her if possible!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Wu’s smile broadened.
But within his tranquil smile lurked a spine-chilling intent to kill.
At the same time, Feng Xiu noticed something was wrong and stopped talking.
“Who are you?”
“You can guess,” Lu Wu said flatly.
“Lu Wu? Is that you!”
Feng Xiu immediately recognized the voice and his tone dropped several degrees, as if there was a roar stuck in his throat.
“It seems like you’re as fixated on me as I am on you,
Your concern, is quite revolting!”
“Lu Wu…”
“I advise you to hide well in your rat hole so you might live a little longer.”
After finishing, Lu Wu didn’t wait for a response from Feng Xiu and hung up. At the same moment, he stomped his foot, and the extreme cold completely froze the entire prison.
As the prison became encased in ice, Lu Wu extended his hand to Jiang Yuexing: “Godmother, long time no see!”
…
At the same time.
Inside Elder Mountain, Fei Yinghao suddenly opened his eyes.
His current state in Elder Mountain was dire, with one arm and one leg severed, along with various degrees of injuries elsewhere.
These were all leftovers from Dudu.
And in such a state, he still had to split his attention to deal with Lu Wu.
“Got sent back, eh? Happy? Congratulations, you’ve just become a bit more notable in someone’s little black book.
I told you to watch and wait, why wouldn’t you listen?
He might have that guy’s presence on him, acting against him is akin to seeking death.”
The old man beside him spoke half in jest and half earnestly.
Then Fei Yinghao couldn’t care less to listen.
“You lot are too cowardly, why not all of us attack together and kill him? What’s the worst that can happen?
Even if he was strong, didn’t he end up like that back then?
After that incident, how much power could he possibly have left?”
“Even if he has a fraction of his power left, killing one or two of us would be easy for him.”
“Then we fight…”
As Fei Yinghao spoke, the other elders withdrew their gazes; no one wanted to respond to this madman.
Fight the Zeroer to the death? What a joke.
They certainly didn’t wish to die yet…
