Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066 Killing Them Both

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

For the array mage, death wasn’t an agonizing prospect but a resolute acceptance.

Compared to the torment he endured, death was a mere inconvenience.

He envisioned being laid to rest, not trapped in an endless cycle of suffering and despair.

His head hung low, his eyes reflecting a deep hopelessness. He refused to meet Lu Yu’s gaze.

The healer’s earlier intervention had been inconceivable.

In a mere blink, the brutal wound on his abdomen had vanished. Even the empire’s most skilled healers wouldn’t have achieved such a feat.

Despair gnawed at him as he fixated on his now-pristine abdomen. It felt like a dream, a cruel illusion.

“I’ll divulge everything you want to know,” he croaked, “but you must assure me of a painless end.”

Lu Yu offered a dismissive pat on his shoulder. “Fear not; that’s easily arranged. You’re of no further use to me anyway. Speak your piece, and I’ll grant you your release.”

Just then, Lu Yu spotted Jiang Tianxing turning tail and fleeing.

Witnessing the array mage’s defeat seemed to have triggered his own despair, prompting an immediate escape attempt.

With a single glance, Lu Yu signaled the Fire Spirit Dragon. The dragon responded swiftly, its maw snapping open to engulf Jiang Tianxing in its fiery embrace.

“Mercy! I beg forgiveness! I will never do it again!”

“Too late,” Lu Yu replied coldly. “I offered you a chance.”

A bone-chilling crack echoed as the Fire Spirit Dragon devoured Jiang Tianxing whole.

Lu Yu turned his attention back to the array mage. “Speak. Who sent you? What is your purpose? When did you target me, and what was your objective?”

“I… I’ll talk,” the mage stammered. “We originate from the Demon Lord’s Abyss, an entity external to the Ten Thousand Dragon Kingdom. You could say we’re…

adversaries to this nation.”

“Our agents intercepted the letter you penned. Knowing your arrival, we dispatched individuals to capture you.”

“My superior, intrigued by your capabilities, ventured into other worlds to gather information. He discovered your draconic traits, tamed dragons, and formidable strength, among other details.”

“Fueled by greed, our leader dreamed of capturing you. By eliminating you, he hoped to acquire your possessions and bolster our organization’s power, ultimately tipping the scales in our assault on the Ten Thousand Dragon

Kingdom.”

“My leader remains shrouded in secrecy. I’ve never seen his face or learned his name. In my youth, he rescued me from an accident and raised me. Though I lack full knowledge of his motives, I owe him my life. Even at the cost of my own life, I would defend him until my final breath.”

Lu Yu offered a shrug. “Yet, you revealed everything nonetheless.”

“I am powerless to resist. Who could have anticipated your unforeseen healing abilities? You are undoubtedly a formidable force, and I gravely underestimated your power. Otherwise, the trap I devised would have undoubtedly eliminated any individual below the 55th tier!”

“Earlier, you mentioned being a 46th tier array mage. Is that accurate?” Lu Yu inquired.

“Indeed, my tier as an array mage is 46th. Within the Ten Thousand Dragon Kingdom, I am considered moderately strong, yet my standing isn’t particularly high due to my inability to tame dragons. In this land, dragons reign supreme, the cornerstone of our existence.”

“As an array mage, regardless of my dedication, I remain unrecognized.”

“Similar to array mages, dragon tamers are categorized by rank. Any dragon tamer equivalent rank to mine wouldn’t hold a significant advantage in actual combat.”

“Based on your prowess, I suspect you surpass the hundredth step.” “You’re wrong,” Lu Yu countered with a slight shake of his head.

The array mage stared back in surprise. “Are you even stronger?”

“No. I haven’t registered as a dragon tamer in the Ten Thousand Dragon Country, so I lack a formal ranking and haven’t undergone verification. However, rest assured, my strength surpasses yours by double.”

“While your knowledge appears limited, you did provide a valuable clue—the

Demon Lord Abyss. If an opportunity presents itself, I may pay them a visit.” Dejected, the array mage croaked, “May I have a quick end now?”

“Very well,” conceded Lu Yu, drawing his sword. With a swift slash across the chest, the array mage crumpled to the ground, life extinguished.

After dispatching the enemy, Lu Yu sheathed his Star Piercing Demonic Sword and surveyed the aftermath.

The battlefield lay in ruin, littered with blood and debris.

He recalled the cage’s formidable sturdiness, which had forced him to employ his sword’s phasing ability to escape.

His next stop was to pay a visit to the City Lord, Zhao Tianlong.

Reaching the city lord’s residence, Lu Yu entered through the main gate and followed the path to the entrance. As evening had fallen, he knew Zhao Tianlong would likely be home.

A knock on the door. The responding butler, recognizing Lu Yu, ushered him in with a warm, “Young Master Lu, please come in. City Lord, Young Master Lu is here to see you!”

Footsteps echoed down the stairs as Zhao Tianlong hurried to greet him.

“Brother Lu Yu, what brings you here?” he inquired, his voice laced with anticipation. “Do you have news about Jiang Tianxing? He called me earlier, claiming to have encountered you.”

“He initially intended revenge, but I managed to persuade him to let go of the grudge and move on. He shouldn’t bother you anymore, right?”

Lu Yu’s response was a curt nod. “He’s no longer a threat. He’s dead.”

Shock contorted Zhao Tianlong’s face. “What? Jiang Tianxing is dead? Did you… “He persisted after his call and attempted to trap me.”

“That fool! He wouldn’t even listen to me!” Zhao Tianlong exclaimed in disbelief.

“He initially promised to let go of everything but received outside assistance that swayed him.”

“Speaking of which, do you know anything about the Demon Lord Abyss?”
