Spare Me, Great Lord! - Chapter 1038

Chapter 1038: Nobody On The Limestone Bricks

From outside, the entertainment center looked as if it was bustling with activities. However, there were times where it was completely silent. 12 Rank One soldiers dressed in flowery serpent clothes were resting in the hall.

The serpents on the serpent clothing were extremely terrifying. They looked as though they could consume humans.

The ordinary candle lights were flickering but the candle in the middle of the hall remained burning in the upright position as though it were frozen in place.

The powerful auras exuded by the twelve Rank One soldiers seemed to have frozen the entire place. There was a white serpent mark on the back of their necks. The scales on the gigantic serpent looked like eyes.

Everyone knew that there were twelve slaves under the rule of the West Lord of Heaven. These slaves were more powerful than Rank Ones and were the underlings of Duanmu Huangqi. However, very few people knew that Duanmu Huangqi had placed all of these twelve slaves in the palace to wait for the perfect moment to take action. Nobody knew what they were waiting for.

Every year on the day of the ceremony of the Sword Hut, people from the Luniverse would go over to the palace to watch the ceremony. Therefore, the palace was extremely crowded and bustling with activities.

However, this year, the amount of people who came were exceptionally greater than past years, especially the experts.

All of them had their own motives and nobody knew who supported them.

Meanwhile, on that night, all of them showed their teeth. They began a large-scale hunt on the road made up of limestone bricks in the palace. The underlings brought by the twelve soldiers weaved through the buildings of the palace like black leopards. The shadows who were initially scattered around the palace gathered quickly towards the road made up of limestone bricks.

Lu Shu was still running. Some people said that the palace was so big that a Rank One expert could not fly across it in just one day. That was an exaggeration as the people did not know exactly how big the palace was.

They knew that the Rank One soldiers could not fly at the restricted airspace in the palace. Even though they knew that a Rank One soldier could probably cover the palace within half a day, nobody bothered to prove it.

The villagers took pride in the size and grandeur of the palace.

However, now, for Lu Shu, it felt like it was a road with no return. At least, that was what some of the aristocrats thought.

Lu Shu dashed from the east to the west. He did not know how much longer he had to run and how many people would attack him along the way. He did not know how long Duanmu Huangqi had planned for the Sword Hut?s retaliation. Because of him and his intention to kill, Duanmu Huangqi showed off his powers by using all of them on Lu Shu.

Lu Shu was not concerned about that. He would kill anyone who wanted to attack him.

In the dark, many people sprung sneak attacks on Lu Shu. Sounds of people stepping on bricks on the rooftop beside the path of limestone bricks could be heard and it followed Lu Shu as he ran.

Many people died. The underlings figured out that Lu Shu was not easily dealt with. However, none of them were unwilling to die because attacking Lu Shu was their mission.

At the next moment, dozens of people pounced from the rooftop. They attacked at the same time and came from different directions!

Lu Shu who was running furiously suddenly stopped. Due to the sudden stop, the immense force caused the limestone brick to crack open and the broken pieces flew in the sky!

In the blink of an eye, the underlings pounced over like ferocious beasts. However, these beasts suddenly realized that Lu Shu, instead of showing fear, was laughing!

?Fish meat has bones but isn?t it still fish meat?? laughed Lu Shu.

At that moment, the underlings who were still in the sky realized that Lu Shu pulled something down from the sky. Suddenly, everyone felt chills down their bodies and a sharp pain!

It was the invisible sword energy!

However, they did not realize that Lu Shu had hung the invisible sword energy in the sky!

Swords fell like the rain. This was the biggest attack Lu Shu had met along the way. However, it did not pose a threat to him at all.

The underlings who remained on the rooftops of the buildings narrowed their eyes as they examined Lu Shu carefully. They continued chasing after him and waited for the ripe opportunity.

The people who did not know what happened in the palace initially were definitely aware of the situation as the road made up of limestone bricks was stained with blood.

Countless pairs of eyes stared quietly at the palace in the night sky. They were speculating about how much bloodshed there would be that night, when would Lu Shu finally die, or when would Lu Shu stop killing others.

Xiao Mingze, the boss of the Song gambling den, was pacing back and forth in the garden of his house. At that moment, a middle-aged man with a slightly black complexion walked out and looked at Xiao Mingze. ?What?s up??

?Master, should we help him?!? said Xiao Mingze. To the boss of the Song gambling den, Lu Shu was his money tree. Moreover, as they knew each other for a long time, chief officer Zhao Shuai also wanted him to ask for help.

They were the first batch of aristocrats whom Lu Shu had gotten in touch with. Nobody expected such things to happen. The young man of the Wei Wu Army killed hundreds of lives along the road and his opponent was the Lord of Heaven from the West Region!

?A wise man will stay away from danger,? said the master of the Song family, ?Leave.?

In fact, he had already made his decision when he asked Zhao Shuai to return from Nangeng City. The wealthy families in the palace were able to last for thousands of years because they stayed away from trouble.

?Roger, I will leave.? Zhao Shuai bowed and took his leave. Sometimes, Zhao Shuai really wanted to leave the wealthy Song family and make his own living but he had no idea where he could go.

Without Lu Shu, they still had to live on, right? The wealthy families in the palace were still wealthy families, nobody cared about the details.

At this moment, Sun Zhongyang stood at the door of his father?s study room. ?Dad, I want to help him. He once saved my life. Although I have returned his favor through the magical armor, a life is priceless.?

Sun Xunwen, who was reading a book, said calmly, ?Even if I let you go, you won?t be able to help him.?

Sun Zhongyang had always respected his father as his father was not only the one with the most potential to become a master in the palace but also because he was extremely intelligent.

?What do you mean by this?? Sun Zhongyang was stunned.

?You underestimated him and overestimated yourself.? Sun Xunwen smiled and looked up at Sun Zhongyang. ?Go and practice your skills. You will be able to help him when you reach the Master Realm.?

Sun Zhongyang suddenly realized that his father was supportive of his idea, but felt that Sun Zhongyang was unable to help Lu Shu!

How powerful must Lu Shu be in order for his father to come to this conclusion?
