Chapter 421: 418 Death Scythe

Chapter 421: 418 Death Scythe

Undead Secret Realm.

After rescuing Jiang Yuexing in Jiangnan, Lu Wu opened the Gate of the Undead and took Jiang Yuexing back to the Undead Secret Realm.

“What is this?”

Jiang Yuexing looked at Lu Wu’s Undead Secret Realm with a puzzled expression.

Lu Wu was about to answer when suddenly a dragon roar sounded. Immediately after, a golden dragon emerged from Lu Wu’s body and, giving Lu Wu a tail whip along the way, headed towards the sensed position of Little Skeleton.

Following closely, Silly also poked its head out and called out to Lu Wu before joining the golden dragon.

Inside Lu Wu were three Summoned Beasts, only the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword remained still.

Hmm, it disliked the atmosphere of the Undead Secret Realm.

On the other side, Lu Wu, who had been whipped by a tail, stood up as if nothing had happened and answered Jiang Yuexing’s question.

“My foothold, you can stay there for now.

If you have any requests, you can talk to me.”

After making arrangements for Jiang Yuexing, Lu Wu flashed to his feet and chased after Little Golden Dragon.

He wasn’t going to retaliate for the tail whip; he was going to check on Little Golden Dragon and Little Skeleton.

Speaking of which, he had yet to take a good look at the attributes of Little Golden Dragon and Little Skeleton.

Additionally, Lu Wu wanted to understand their advancement situation.

How did these two little fellows, along with Silly and Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, coincidentally break through at the same time?

One or two might be a coincidence, but four together was definitely not coincidence.

There must be something fishy going on.

Following Little Golden Dragon, Lu Wu quickly saw Little Golden Dragon and Little Skeleton, and also their current attributes before his eyes.

…

Epic Power: Divine Dragon Bloodline (Upgraded)

…

After checking the attributes of the two little fellows, Lu Wu immediately focused on the Death Scythe.

“Where did this thing come from?”

Lu Wu came forward to inquire about the origin of the scythe.

His appearance made Little Golden Dragon turn its head, looking very unhappy and reluctant to see Lu Wu.

On the other hand, Little Skeleton was especially happy, and upon seeing Lu Wu approach, it threw aside its two companions and with a ‘pap,’ jumped onto Lu Wu.

(Lu Wu, Little Skeleton has become really powerful!

Little Skeleton feels that Little Skeleton can beat smelly Tuantuan!)

Hmm, this little fellow with a single sentence successfully brought down Lu Wu’s mood.

Lu Wu didn’t respond to this remark and calmed his emotions before continuing to question Little Skeleton about where the scythe came from.

(This thing?)

Little Skeleton turned its head to look at the scythe in its hand and then explained the origin of the scythe in detail.

After listening, Lu Wu’s brow immediately furrowed.

“People are getting pretty bold, aren’t they!”

It was almost as if they were openly telling Lu Wu that someone was helping increase Little Skeleton’s power.

As for who was helping, Lu Wu had suspects in mind.

It could be that legendary “Zeroer” or Zhang Yunyi.

Lu Wu felt the latter was more likely.

Thinking carefully, since Little Skeleton and Little Flood Dragon had escaped from Dudu’s side, Dudu couldn’t have failed to notice.

She hadn’t done anything, and there even seemed to be a deliberate intention to let things take their course; this one reason couldn’t be ruled out.

Regarding Dudu’s side, Lu Wu was increasingly sure there must be deep cooperation between her and Zhang Yunyi.

“So why did she choose to die now, neither earlier nor later?”

Lu Wu felt that the woman seemed to be avoiding him.

But to what end?

This was hard to guess without enough information.

“Now I can only hope that 72 has made some progress!”

Lu Wu had talked to Jiang Yuexing before coming back.

She knew virtually nothing.

If it were someone else, they might think Jiang Yuexing was playing dumb, since both Pang Duddu and Zhang Yunyi, one grew up under her watch with a lot of close cooperation, and Zhang Yunyi was even eyeing her.

With Jiang Yuexing’s position, she shouldn’t have been completely clueless; she was not so foolish!

But Lu Wu didn’t have much suspicion about Jiang Yuexing’s side, because he knew his own godmother was foolish.

So now, Lu Wu could only hope for some results from 72 and Zhang Yuechu.

“Additionally, while I wanted to bring Qingzi back and settle her into this Secret Realm, since someone could lead Little Skeleton out from this Secret Realm, it proved it wasn’t absolutely safe.

With this in mind, there’s no need to look for Qingzi for the time being.

I currently don’t have the energy to look after her, plus the Undead Secret Realm also needs a tight security and boundary system.”

This was Lu Wu’s current stronghold, and security had to be a priority no matter what.

Speaking of which, Lu Wu suddenly remembered the fellow named Pismi he had captured not long ago.

That guy seemed to have some skills in surveillance.

“Let 72 give it a try, and if he’s really capable, have him design a plan, and I’ll modify it later.”

Afterward, Lu Wu took Little Skeleton and the others back to the base.

He asked 72 about the progress, dealt with some Dark Organization matters, and after giving 72 some tasks, Lu Wu opened the Gate of the Undead and left the Undead Secret Realm.

He hadn’t forgotten that there was still someone waiting for him to come and kill.

…

District 8.

Feng Xiu’s stronghold.

Feng Xiu looked especially awful at this moment.

On one hand, it was because his injuries had not been resolved.

On the other hand, it was also because recently, all kinds of things on his side were going awfully wrong.

The ritual to heal his injuries, the encirclement against Lu Wu, and the mess he had joined in Jiangnan recently, plus the phone call not long ago.

Every single thing was displeasing to him.

Especially the last one.

Those 36 Angel Envoys were one of the few cards he had in his hand.

He had seized the opportunity of Zhang Yunyi being killed by the leader to use this card, hoping it would serve some purpose to bring Jiang Yuexing back, only to encounter the ‘good fortune’ of running into Lu Wu. Now, not only had he lost the 36, but he himself was also humiliated by Lu Wu.

Thinking of what Lu Wu had said, Feng Xiu felt like his heart was stuffed with a bomb, and he was about to explode.

“A year ago, the ant that was beneath my notice has grown enough to humiliate me?

Very well, very well indeed!”

“Ding!”

As Feng Xiu raged, a token at his waist began to tremble.

Feng Xiu raised his eyebrows and quickly adjusted his emotions, shifting from boundless anger to an appearance of calm within an extremely short span of time.

“Lao Wu, have you arrived?

My ritual is almost ready, now just missing that one ingredient of yours. You’d better hurry up with it.”

“I’ve almost gotten everything you need.

I can be there soon, are you still at the base?”

“Yes, still here!”

“Alright, I’m on my way!”

After the brief exchange ended, the expressions on both sides changed to varying degrees.

Lin Jianying was slightly frowning, while Feng Xiu’s expression turned from sunny to savagely menacing.

Additionally, both men sent two messages each after hanging up.

“Lao Wu is coming over, you should also get ready to come over.”

“He’s still in the base, I’m going now to confirm the situation.”

“Good!” *2

Both sides responded simultaneously and began to execute their respective plans.

Half an hour later, Lin Jianying’s figure appeared in Feng Xiu’s base.

“Diwu Your Excellency!”

The 13th Angel Envoy under Feng Xiu’s command immediately greeted him.

Lin Jianying glanced behind the 13th and furrowed his brows.

“Where’s Lao Si?”

“The fourth lord’s old injury flared up. It’s inconvenient for him to welcome you from afar, please forgive him, Diwu Your Excellency.”

“It seems his injury is severe!

Who knows if he’s close to death already.”

Lin Jianying said coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction. The Angel Envoy before him didn’t dare utter a word, silently standing there as if he were a piece of decoration.

“Let’s go, take me to him!”

“Yes, follow me!”

The 13th Angel Envoy bowed respectfully and then led Lin Jianying deeper into the base.

They hadn’t gone far before Lin Jianying’s brows furrowed.

“This isn’t the right way, is it? It’s not the same as last time, and the surroundings, how come they’re different from before?”

“The base underwent a major repair, remember the ritual got disrupted last time? The fourth lord, after reflecting deeply on the pain, thought it was not very wise to hold the ritual outside, so he planned to do it inside the base.”

“Just because he was bitten by a snake one morning, it doesn’t mean Lao Si’s courage has shrunk that much, right?”

“Diwu Your Excellency jests.”

The 13th Angel Envoy appeared too frightened to engage in such a topic, bowing his head and silently leading the way for Lin Jianying.

As for Lin Jianying, after briefly furrowing his brows as he surveyed the surrounding environment, he didn’t say anything further. Following the 13th, they quickly arrived at the central point of the base, which was also Feng Xiu’s location.

The moment he saw Feng Xiu approaching, his eyes lit up, and he came forward with a particularly excited demeanor.

“Lao Wu, you’ve finally arrived, I really have to thank you for coming through this time!”

“It was indeed a bit of trouble, but not unacceptable. After all, it’s no more now!”

Lin Jianying also approached with a smile.

“What do you mean?”

Feng Xiu was taken aback.

“Pfft!”

A light sound, a surge of excruciating pain, and Feng Xiu foolishly looked down to see a hand had pierced through his heart.

“Lao Wu… what are you…”

In these past few years, Lin Jianying had clearly experienced society’s harsh beatings; he was no longer the naive young man cheated of love in a tree hollow years ago.

He was now extremely shrewd, resolute to an impeccable degree.

When it was time to make a move, he didn’t hesitate to listen to what Feng Xiu had to say; with a twist of his hand, he brutally tore Feng Xiu’s body to shreds.

This scene stunned the onlookers, Number 13 included.

Fortunately, this person had seen tumultuous times before and reacted swiftly, quickly retreating to escape. As soon as he moved, however, he found a goblin blocking his path.

At the same time, Lin Jianying turned his head around and, with a casual swing, the arm stained with Feng Xiu’s blood pierced Number 13’s heart.

Lin Jianying’s hands bulged with veins as he prepared to twist and kill the Number 13 before him, just like Feng Xiu, when his expression suddenly changed as he rotated his arm.

“What’s going on?”

Lin Jianying was taken aback and tried to pull his arm back, only to discover that the Angel Envoy 13 before him had turned into a black magical chain that restrained his hand.

At the same time, the recently shredded Feng Xiu also transformed into black chains, entangling his left leg.

Immediately after, both chains pulled hard, and Lin Jianying was drawn and quartered.

“Gurgle gurgle!”

The goblin nearby saw this and quickly pulled out a blood-colored longsword, ready to save his ally.

Then, an impatient voice sounded.

“Stop getting in the way, hey!”

A black skeleton skull appeared out of nowhere, biting the goblin and freezing it in place.

Simultaneously, Feng Xiu, who had supposedly been killed just moments before, reappeared not far from Lin Jianying and snapped his fingers at him.

In an instant, countless black skeleton heads appeared, raining down on Lin Jianying like droplets.

Lin Jianying, right hand and left leg constrained, hindered in his movements, could only burst forth energy and prop up a black Evil Energy Shield to fend off the onslaught of skeletons.

But Feng Xiu let out a cold laugh.

“Don’t underestimate my preparation!”

The next moment, the chains binding Lin Jianying shook, releasing energy that disrupted Lin Jianying’s energy output, causing the Evil Energy Shield around him to shatter from the inside out.

Caught off guard by this unexpected move, Lin Jianying was bombarded by the rain-like skeleton heads.

After one round of attacks, Lin Jianying was left battered and bruised.

Feng Xiu’s mouth curled up in a smile as he casually snapped his fingers, and three black chains appeared again, binding toward Lin Jianying’s left hand, right leg, and head.

But Lin Jianying, despite his wounds, had no intention of surrendering.

With a clench of his teeth, he violently rotated his body and managed to break off his own limbs to escape the chains.

Freed of physical and energy restraints, Lin Jianying, like a dragon diving into the sea, he was completely liberated and his first action was to head straight for Feng Xiu.

With his remaining hand, he reached for Feng Xiu’s head.

“Die for me!”

Feng Xiu’s face changed as he snapped his fingers and a huge skeleton skull appeared out of thin air to block Lin Jianying.

However, Lin Jianying’s body erupted with special energy and with a single claw, he tore through the skull, reaching the unsuspecting Feng Xiu, ready to strike him down.

At that moment, when Feng Xiu seemed panicked, he suddenly smirked.

An overbearing voice then rang out.

“Sit down!”

A figure appeared out of nowhere in front of Feng Xiu and with a punch sent Lin Jianying sprawling…
