Chapter 383: Chapter 249

Da-da-da-da——

A series of hurried footsteps echoed continuously in the dark, damp passageway.

The tranquil space buried underground for decades was thoroughly shattered by a group of intruders.

Fang Cheng followed the main group, walking among them, glancing around alertly.

The brick walls on both sides were covered with moss and water stains, emitting a stench of decay.

Occasionally, water droplets would fall from above, dripping sound, intertwining with the footsteps and breathing.

At this moment, they were getting closer and closer to the archway that revealed dim light.

The group had broken through layers of defense and was finally about to reach their target, the excitement on their faces becoming more apparent.

Many people’s footsteps unconsciously quickened, rushing forward eagerly.

It seemed as if they could already see the rare treasure beckoning them.

However.

A figure appeared ahead like a ghost.

The person wore a gray uniform, standing tall and strong.

In the dim light, his facial features were somewhat blurry, but it was discernible that he was a middle-aged man with a square face.

Yet, the fierce aura emanating from him was palpable, almost tangible.

It made the crowd’s advancing steps halt instantly, sparking a sense of alertness.

"It’s the Guard Captain of the Lu Family!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

This shout was like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring ripples of reactions.

"It’s him. Last week I fought him, and this guy is really strong."

A man with a scar on his face said with lingering fear, "If I hadn’t reacted quickly, my head would almost have been separated!"

"No wonder we didn’t see him outside, he’s been guarding the underground vault personally."

Others, upon hearing this, felt a sense of realization.

Mingled whispers were filled with surprise and understanding of the Lu Family’s arrangements.

"So, as long as we defeat him, we can..."

A sly-looking man suddenly spoke, stopping midway, but the unfinished implication tickled the crowd’s minds.

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes instantly sparkled.

Yes, since this guy is here alone right now.

Doesn’t that mean that if they take him down, the remaining defensive power of the Lu Family would be negligible, and the coveted Golden Benba Bottle is truly within reach.

Although the crowd held some apprehension about Lu Tao’s abilities, the allure of priceless treasures quickly made them disregard it.

Facing the covetous treasure hunters, Lu Tao showed no fear, instead, he spoke calmly:

"From the start of your attack until now, it’s just over ten minutes, you guys are pretty fast."

His tone carried a bit of admiration.

He seemed as if he wasn’t trapped, but was observing an interesting training session as an instructor.

"Stop pretending, I’ve heard of the Guard Captain of the Lu Family, let me, the Murder King, have a go with you today!"

At this moment, a man with a fleshy face stepped forward, standing in front of the crowd.

He carried a large machete on his shoulder, proudly surveying his numerous companions, his eyes darting around.

Of course, he felt some fear towards this legendary Lu Family expert, but relying on his numerical advantage, he secretly devised a plan.

Once the fight starts, if he can’t win, he’ll swiftly retreat, letting others deal with him.

But if he wins, who would dare look down on him in the martial world? His prestige would soar!

More importantly, he could be the first to enter the underground vault, and not just the Golden Benba Bottle, other treasures would also be there for him to choose from first.

Thinking of this, the Murder King felt immensely excited, gripping his gleaming machete tightly, eyes locked on the Guard Captain, readying for a life-and-death battle.

Fang Cheng stood in the crowd, watching with great anticipation.

Speaking of which, he had never fought anyone from the great families, nor had he ever witnessed their powers in battle, only hearing about them through rumors.

Lin Chuqiao and Pan Wendi, although also from great families, were both more supportive types, and as his friends, Fang Cheng couldn’t truly witness the mysterious powers the families possessed through them.

And now, this was a rare opportunity.

As Fang Cheng pondered, Lord Bao whispered to his side:

"This Murder King isn’t weak, having him test the waters first isn’t a bad idea."

Black Wolf nodded slightly in agreement.

The others harbored the same thought, not rushing to attack all at once.

They spread out into a fan shape, encircling Lu Tao, gripping their weapons tightly, watching intently, ready to move at a moment’s notice.

"Die for me!"

The Murder King roared, like thunder, the sound waves resounding, making the surroundings buzz in the ears of others.

His muscles tensed, as he charged at Lu Tao with large strides.

The machete in his hand, which had slain over a dozen people, was raised high, exuding a nauseating bloody odor.

In an instant, it was as if a fierce tiger was pouncing, with a violent gust of wind.

The blade sliced through the air, even making a sizzling sharp sound, as if in the next second, it would cleave Lu Tao in two.

One side was fierce, menacing, the other appeared unusually composed.

Lu Tao stood steadily in place, looking at the machete slashing straight towards him, without dodging, extending only his right hand.

Just as everyone thought he was about to display some body-hardening ability, or perform the thrilling act of seizing a blade barehanded.
