Chapter 642 Jiang Lengyue’s a.s.sistance
The three figures who appeared out of nowhere pierced Lu Yu’s defense and were about to stab him in the chest.
When Lu Yu noticed this, he quickly dodged and activated his Dragon Shadow skill. He flashed back more than ten meters with a swish.
The long sword pierced Lu Yu’s afterimage.
Yuan Hong noticed three men in black appear in front of him at this point. Without hesitation, he knelt.
“This brat wants to kill me, sires. No, he intends to wipe out my entire family. You cannot allow him to succeed. Otherwise, I will no longer be the ruler of Cloud City, and I will be unable to work with you!”
The three men in black wore all-black clothing and cloaks.
Their faces were obscured entirely, and no one knew who they were.
“You piece of garbage. I just helped you become the ruler of Cloud City, and you got beaten up like this!”
The man in black in the middle reprimanded Yuan Hong.
“My lord, it’s not that I’m disappointing,” Yuan Hong explained quickly. “It’s just that this brat is far too powerful. He’s clearly a level stronger than me. However, you should kill him right away since you’re here!”
“He just said he would destroy you all sooner or later!”
Yuan Hong looked in antic.i.p.ation at the three men in black in front of him.
“Do I need you to tell me that? Close your stinking mouth!” Yuan Hong obeyed the man’s reprimand by closing his mouth and dared not even take another breath.
Yun Zirou, who was standing beside Lu Yu at the time, was getting concerned. She had finally gotten the chance to kill Yuan Hong, but now three obstacles prevented her from doing so!
“Are we still going to continue? These three don’t appear to be weak,” Han Xuefei asked.
Yun Zirou looked at Lu Yu as well. She was hoping that they continue to fight. She had to kill Yuan Hong, or her resentment would never be placated!
Lu Yu shook his head firmly. “Let’s leave. They are far more powerful than we are; even the three of us are powerless against them. We have no choice but to leave first.”
“That is the only option. We can’t act rashly. Otherwise, we’ll perish here!” Han Xuefei continued.
Yun Zirou was disappointed, but she maintained her cool. She knew Lu Yu was correct and quickly replied, “No problem. Let’s leave here for now. The military will arrive shortly anyway…”
The group of three came to an agreement that it was time to retreat. Their true enemies had been revealed anyway!
However, a black shadow flashed over, and a long sword was thrust at Lu Yu.
“Do you want to leave? In your dreams. We revealed ourselves, and we’ll be the ones facing punishment if we don’t kill you!”
“You are Lu Yu, the one who murdered Jiang Lintian. If I kill you, I’ll be rewarded beyond anything imaginable!”
Slash!
The long sword slashed at Lu Yu!
Lu Yu quickly raised his claws to defend himself. The enemy was moving so fast that he couldn’t see clearly and could only block subconsciously, or he would die!
Han Xuefei raised her right hand and formed an ice shield as well.
Yun Zirou couldn’t rely on her only means of crowd control. After all, she couldn’t even see the other person’s eyes, let alone look into them.
Crack!
The ice shield broke, and the unstoppable sword swung at Lu Yu!
Squelch!
The longsword pierced Lu Yu’s arm, and it still continued forward.
The long sword pierced Lu Yu’s forearm and didn’t stop, intending to stab Lu Yu in the chest.
The sword’s speed, however, had slowed.
“How is this even possible?”
The man in black lowered his gaze, surprised to find that, despite his long sword piercing Lu Yu’s arm, the muscles beneath Lu Yu’s skin had contracted and clamped the blade of his sword tightly, slowing his penetration.
This was his first encounter with such a powerful group of muscles. Despite being pierced, it could tightly grip his sword as if the muscle had a mind of its own.
“But this is useless! You’ll only be struggling a little longer. Our strength difference remains too great!”
He gripped the sword’s hilt with both hands and pushed down with a huge force.
“Die!!!”
He might still be able to escape if he killed Lu Yu now. Otherwise, once the military entered the city, he’d be trapped.
However, just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to use all of his strength, he felt his entire body stiffen. He couldn’t muster any strength, no matter how hard he tried.
“What’s going on?”
He asked, confused.
He then realized he couldn’t control his body and was floating in the air.
“What… what’s going on? What’s happening?”
He was floating in mid-air, as were the two other black-clad men behind him.
The long sword stuck in Lu Yu’s arm had also fallen off.
Lu Yu was also puzzled by the three people floating in the air.
The three men were suspended in the air, their bodies frozen in place.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened?”
“Who is it? Who’s here is our ally?”
Han Xuefei and Yun Zirou rushed over to Lu Yu.
They all looked up simultaneously, astonished to see a figure slowly descending from the sky.
Jiang Lengyue came down with her pet.i.te figure!
“Dean Jiang! She’s here!” Yun Zirou was surprised by who had appeared.
“She arrived on time. If she had arrived later, she would not have been able to see me anymore.” Lu Yu exhaled a deep sigh of relief.
“It’s great to have her here.” Han Zuefei let out a sigh.
Jiang Lengyue landed on the ground. She stood before Lu Yu, wearing a white one-piece dress and a frosty expression.
“You’re fearless,” she said to Yuan Hong. “How dare you conspire with outside forces to eliminate the Yun family!”
Yuan Hong’s mind went blank when he saw Jiang Lengyue, and he was dumbfounded.
“Dean… Dean Jiang, you’re Jiang Lengyue!”
Yuan Hong’s body trembled, and he nearly pa.s.sed out. He had not expected such a big shot to come here!
“What… What brings you here?”
Yuan Hong asked, terrified.
“Yuan Hong, you were once a student of the upper house, right?”
“Well… yes. But you were not the dean at the time…”
“You’ve completely trampled on the upper house’s dignity by doing this! Such insolence!” Jiang Lengyue spat with resentment; she wanted nothing more than to kill Yuan Hong right now.
The three people who were frozen in the air had cold sweat on their backs at this point. They could feel the strength of this pet.i.te woman below, which was so terrifying that they couldn’t even begin to fathom its entirety!
“It’s time to end this. The military will arrive shortly.”
Jiang Lengyue raised her right hand and clenched her fist!
Splat!
The three people in mid-air were squished and exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
