Chapter 1089 The Last Roar
Lu Yuâs 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 Yuâs transformed arms.
âDragon claws! YouâŠâ he stammered, a mixture of shock and morbid curiosity flickering in his eyes. âIs that some kind of trick?â
Lu Yuâs voice remained indifferent. âYou donât have to care. You wanted to ambush me, so here I am. Time is of the essence.â
Lu Yu advanced toward Xu Mang with a measured pace, his expression betraying no hint of urgency.
Witnessing Lu Yuâs steady approach, a tremor ran through Xu Mangâs heart.
His gaze darted nervously between Lu Yuâs eyes and the menacing claws. A war raged within him.
âRegardless of the source of your dragon power,â he conceded grudgingly, a hint of disdain still clinging to his voice. âI will not back down! Perhaps itâs all a bluff!â
He tightened his grip on the long saber, then lunged toward Lu Yu with surprising agility.
Despite the armor encumbering him, his movements were swift, mirroring Lu Yuâs own speed.
However, in Lu Yuâs eyes, Xu Mangâs desperate charge appeared as molasses in slow motion.
A wry smile played on Lu Yuâs lips as he watched Xu Mang approach.
The attacking Xu Mang faltered momentarily upon noticing Lu Yuâs knowing smile.
âYouâre courting death!â He roared, but the conviction was absent from his voice.
Seizing this fleeting moment of hesitation, Lu Yu launched himself forward. In a blink, he was at Xu Mangâs side.
With a swift, almost casual movement, Lu Yu raised his left claw and brought it down in a vicious arc towards Xu Mangâs shoulder.
A sickening swoosh filled the air as the razor-sharp claws tore through flesh and bone.
In a spray of crimson, Xu Mangâs right arm detached from his body, landing with a sickening thud on the ground.
âArghhhh!!!!â
A primal scream erupted from Xu Mangâs 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. âNow, do you still want to test my combat power?â
Lu Yuâs 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. âPlease, forgive me! I understand my mistake!â
His desperate pleas hung heavy in the air, met 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. âDo you truly grasp the gravity of your situation? Itâs a little too late for apologies. Would you have shown me mercy if the roles were reversed?â
His words struck a chord with Xu Mang, leaving him speechless.
Lu Yuâs logic was irrefutable. In their line of work, mercy was a rare commodity. They would have shown him no mercy had they succeeded in ambushing Lu Yu.
Tears streamed down Xu Mangâs face as he looked up at Lu Yu, his voice thick with desperation. âI understand! Please, forgive me! Iâll do anything, anything at all, to make amends. Just spare my life!â
Lu Yu eyed his severed arm and asked, âI took your arm. Shouldnât you hate me?
âAs long as you let me live, weâll call it even, alright? I didnât cause you any real losses, so please spare me. Iâve already lost an arm, thatâs punishment enough!â Xu Mang pleaded desperately.
Lu Yu approached him, a cold glint in his eyes. âLetting you live wouldnât benefit me. Youâd just return to your family and cause more trouble. Why make things harder for myself?â
âRight?â
Xu Mangâs entire body trembled at Lu Yuâs words. He locked eyes with Lu Yu and blurted out, âIf you kill me, the Xu Family will hunt you down! There will be no safe haven for you in Skyplume City, or even the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Kingdom!â
His voice rose to a hysterical pitch, spewing the anger festering within him.
Lu Yu responded with a humorless laugh. âThatâs exactly what I thought. Youâd be the first to sic your family on me upon returning. In that case, I canât afford to let you live.â
âNo!!!â Xu Mang shrieked. âBrothers, run! Tell my father to avenge me!â
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 didnât dare hesitate.
Hu Zhan rushed over; concern etched on his face. âLu Yu, those cowards are escaping! What do we do?â
âLet them go,â Lu Yu replied nonchalantly. âIâll deal with however many the Xu family throws at me. Do I look afraid?â
Hu Zhan was taken aback by Lu Yuâs resolve. âBut I heard the Xu family has over two hundred members, with tens of thousands under their control! They have a vast network of businesses and powerful figures in their ranks. They even possess several tamed dragons! If we truly clash, the outcome wouldnât be pretty.â
Lu Yu shrugged with indifference. âI donât care. Let the Xu family come if they dare. Iâll be back in Skyplume City eventually; theyâll find me easily.â
âSeems like youâre truly fearless. Well then⊠letâs focus on that later. We can discuss things further upon our return.â
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. âDonât worry,â Xu Mang roared, âmy father will have his revenge!â
Swoosh!
In a swift motion, Lu Yu severed Xu Mangâs head.
Silence descended, a stark contrast to the commotion moments prior.
He wiped the blood from his blade and sheathed it with practiced ease.
Turning to Ming Baixuan, Lu Yu spoke, âFor now, I wonât hold your actions against you. You saw through their plan quickly and distanced yourself in time. â
âNow, itâs time to enter the treasure vault. Follow me.â
Ming Baixuan cast a nervous glance at Xu Mangâs lifeless body, swallowing hard.
âAlright, alright⊠Iâll come with you.â He stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. âBut are you truly unafraid? The man you just killedâhe wasnât someone insignificant.â
âHis significance is lost on me. Heâs just another obstacle to overcome.â
âThe Xu family is nothing before me..â
