Chapter 1089 The Last Roar
Lu Yu’s dragon claw pulsed with an otherworldly glow, sending a jolt of fear through Xu Mang. He stumbled back two paces, his disbelief etched across his face as he gaped at Lu Yu’s transford arms.
“Dragon claws! You…” he stamred, a mixture of shock and morbid curiosity flickering in his eyes. “Is that so kind of trick?”
Lu Yu’s voice remained indifferent. “You don’t have to care. You wanted to ambush , so here I am. Ti is of the essence.”
Lu Yu advanced toward Xu Mang with a asured pace, his expression betraying no hint of urgency.
Witnessing Lu Yu’s steady approach, a tremor ran through Xu Mang’s heart.
His gaze darted nervously between Lu Yu’s eyes and the nacing claws. A war raged within him.
“Regardless of the source of your dragon power,” he conceded grudgingly, a hint of disdain still clinging to his voice. “I will not back down! Perhaps it’s all a bluff!”
He tightened his grip on the long saber, then lunged toward Lu Yu with surprising agility.
Despite the armor encumbering him, his movents were swift, mirroring Lu Yu’s own speed.
However, in Lu Yu’s eyes, Xu Mang’s desperate charge appeared as molasses in slow motion.
A wry smile played on Lu Yu’s lips as he watched Xu Mang approach.
The attacking Xu Mang faltered montarily upon noticing Lu Yu’s knowing smile.
“You’re courting death!” He roared, but the conviction was absent from his voice.
Seizing this fleeting mont of hesitation, Lu Yu launched himself forward. In a blink, he was at Xu Mang’s side.
With a swift, almost casual movent, Lu Yu raised his left claw and brought it down in a vicious arc towards Xu Mang’s shoulder.
A sickening swoosh filled the air as the razor-sharp claws tore through flesh and bone.
In a spray of crimson, Xu Mang’s right arm detached from his body, landing with a sickening thud on the ground.
“Arghhhh!!!!”
A primal scream erupted from Xu Mang’s throat as he clutched at the gaping wound, his eyes wide with terror.
Gone was the arrogance, replaced by a bone-deep fear of Lu Yu. The casual display of power had laid bare the insurmountable chasm in their abilities. “Now, do you still want to test my combat power?”
Lu Yu’s hands returned to their original state as he wiped the blood on his clothes.
As the full weight of his situation dawned on him, Xu Mang sank to his knees, his voice trembling with abject terror. “Please, forgive ! I understand my mistake!”
His desperate pleas hung heavy in the air, t by a chilling silence from his team, who witnessed the entire scene unfold with a mixture of horror and disbelief.
Lu Yu coolly eyed Xu Mang. “Do you truly grasp the gravity of your situation? It’s a little too late for apologies. Would you have shown rcy if the roles were reversed?”
His words struck a chord with Xu Mang, leaving him speechless.
Lu Yu’s logic was irrefutable. In their line of work, rcy was a rare commodity. They would have shown him no rcy had they succeeded in ambushing Lu Yu.
Tears stread down Xu Mang’s face as he looked up at Lu Yu, his voice thick with desperation. “I understand! Please, forgive ! I’ll do anything, anything at all, to make ands. Just spare my life!”
Lu Yu eyed his severed arm and asked, “I took your arm. Shouldn’t you hate ?
“As long as you let live, we’ll call it even, alright? I didn’t cause you any real losses, so please spare . I’ve already lost an arm, that’s punishnt enough!” Xu Mang pleaded desperately.
Lu Yu approached him, a cold glint in his eyes. “Letting you live wouldn’t benefit . You’d just return to your family and cause more trouble. Why make things harder for myself?”
“Right?”
Xu Mang’s entire body trembled at Lu Yu’s words. He locked eyes with Lu Yu and blurted out, “If you kill , the Xu Family will hunt you down! There will be no safe haven for you in Skyplu City, or even the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Kingdom!”
His voice rose to a hysterical pitch, spewing the anger festering within him.
Lu Yu responded with a humorless laugh. “That’s exactly what I thought. You’d be the first to sic your family on upon returning. In that case, I can’t afford to let you live.”
“No!!!” Xu Mang shrieked. “Brothers, run! Tell my father to avenge !”
He bellowed with all his might, his voice a guttural roar echoing through the chamber.
His underlings, witnessing the scene, scattered in terror. Flight was their only option; they didn’t dare hesitate.
Hu Zhan rushed over; concern etched on his face. “Lu Yu, those cowards are escaping! What do we do?”
“Let them go,” Lu Yu replied nonchalantly. “I’ll deal with however many the Xu family throws at . Do I look afraid?”
Hu Zhan was taken aback by Lu Yu’s resolve. “But I heard the Xu family has over two hundred mbers, with tens of thousands under their control! They have a vast network of businesses and powerful figures in their ranks. They even possess several tad dragons! If we truly clash, the outco wouldn’t be pretty.”
Lu Yu shrugged with indifference. “I don’t care. Let the Xu family co if they dare. I’ll be back in Skyplu City eventually; they’ll find easily.”
“Seems like you’re truly fearless. Well then… let’s focus on that later. We can discuss things further upon our return.”
Lu Yu approached Xu Mang, drawing his Star Piercing Demonic Sword. The glint of the blade sent a fresh wave of terror through Xu Mang. “Don’t worry,” Xu Mang roared, “my father will have his revenge!”
Swoosh!
In a swift motion, Lu Yu severed Xu Mang’s head.
Silence descended, a stark contrast to the commotion monts prior.
He wiped the blood from his blade and sheathed it with practiced ease.
Turning to Ming Baixuan, Lu Yu spoke, “For now, I won’t hold your actions against you. You saw through their plan quickly and distanced yourself in ti. ”
“Now, it’s ti to enter the treasure vault. Follow .”
Ming Baixuan cast a nervous glance at Xu Mang’s lifeless body, swallowing hard.
“Alright, alright… I’ll co with you.” He stamred, his voice barely above a whisper. “But are you truly unafraid? The man you just killed—he wasn’t soone insignificant.”
“His significance is lost on . He’s just another obstacle to overco.”
“The Xu family is nothing before ..”
