Chapter 2077 - 2050: Sending You on Your Way
As for attacking the woman beside Lu Tianxing, the Tang Family almost never considered this, as anyone who isn’t a fool can guess that Lu Tianxing would definitely protect the woman by his side. It’s even harder to deal with her than with Lu Tianxing himself, and it may result in losing both money and troops.
Since they can’t deal with Lu Tianxing, his woman, or Lu Haoyue, if the Tang Family wants to constrain the Lu Family and prevent them from sending people to deal with Tang Qingyun, the best strategy is to kidnap Dou Fangfang. Kidnapping Dou Fangfang would successfully restrain the Lu Family and even deal a comprehensive blow, unless Lu Haoyue can watch his fiancée get into trouble without doing anything. Otherwise, they must follow the Tang Family’s demands and become a pawn in their hands.
Therefore, when they took action, Lu Haoyue secretly arranged Lu Chuan to be by Dou Fangfang’s side for protection in case of emergencies.
It seems that Lu Haoyue’s guess was completely correct, as the Tang Family indeed decided to target Dou Fangfang, intending to use her to restrain the Lu Family and avenge themselves.
"It’s the Lu Family’s steward, Lu Chuan."
Upon seeing Lu Chuan, one of the men exclaimed in disbelief.
Before they kidnapped Dou Fangfang, they had obtained information about the Lu Family, and in that information, Lu Chuan was definitely the most troublesome figure. At the Peak of Mid-stage Mythical, he was just a step away from entering the Late Stage of Mythical, and his terrifying ice powers were enough to freeze great rivers. They never thought that Lu Haoyue would dispatch Lu Chuan secretly to protect Dou Fangfang.
"It seems you already know who I am, so I don’t need to introduce myself."
Upon hearing the man’s words, Lu Chuan’s voice was calm but filled with an unmistakable cold aura, carrying a hint of sinister killing intent: "No need for introductions, now I’ll send you Tang Family remnants on your way."
As he finished speaking, Lu Chuan moved, his figure flickering like a shadow, appearing directly beside one of the men. Spreading his fingers, True Qi suddenly emanated from his palm, showing a blue ice crystal glow, and an endless cold burst forth, enveloping down on the man’s head.
The chilling cold spread out of nowhere, instantly causing the man to feel an endless fear spreading from his heart. He wanted to dodge but felt his entire body seemed frozen, even the True Qi compressed in his Dantian could not be used, forcing him to watch as the icy hand descended from the sky onto his head.
"Bang!"
A dull sound echoed, but there wasn’t the expected splattering of brain matter. Instead, the man’s head was rapidly covered in a layer of ice visible to the naked eye and within a blink, he turned into an ice sculpture.
"Bang!"
Lu Chuan struck again, and instantly the man, along with his iron mask, shattered like glass, blood and flesh turning into ice, oddly colorful. Although there was no blood scent, it was even more terrifying.
Seeing their companion easily die at Lu Chuan’s hands, the remaining six men behind the iron masks revealed undeniable fear in their eyes. Their hearts were wrapped in terror, from Lu Chuan’s move to one person’s death. They hadn’t reacted, only seeing Lu Chuan’s hand fall on the man’s head, and he turned into an ice sculpture, then shattered next.
For a moment, the remaining six felt their backs soaked in cold sweat. Though they were Tang Family-trained elites, they were not Death Soldiers; they were just hired hands. But now, Lu Chuan’s exhibited strength made them realize they were not on the same level as Lu Chuan, who could kill them effortlessly.
As these six harbored fear, Lu Chuan slowly turned his head, looking at the remaining six, his tone filled with coldness: "Don’t worry, tonight all of you will die."
As his words fell, Lu Chuan’s True Qi suddenly burst forth, cold air rolling, his hands grasped, and all the chill condensed into a Longsword, which he grasped. Sword Qi spread out, carrying an aura of freezing rivers, even leaving a layer of frost on the roadside tree branches, looking strikingly chilling.
"Die!"
Gripping the Longsword, a sharp glint flashed in Lu Chuan’s eyes as the sword quivered, instantly transforming into myriad sword lights, whistling out, covering the remaining six with immense cold, directly aiming to resolve them in one strike.
"Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!"
The sound of breaking through the air echoed continuously, myriad sword lights like silver snakes bursting out, releasing extremely terrifying glows, sinister to the extreme. The heavens and earth changed color instantly, as if the space entered deep winter, endless gales mixed with snow roared in.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
Before the Sword Qi arrived, the remaining six felt endless killing intent enveloping them, frost covering hairs and eyebrows, and their True Qi seemed compressed to the extreme.
"Attack, quick attack."
"We’ll attack together, combine forces against him. I refuse to believe that Mid-stage Mythical is truly invincible."
"That’s right, let’s team up, attack together, break through his offense."
These six were ultimately individuals who survived their battles, quickly reacting, shouting to each other, their True Qi suddenly erupting like awakening fierce tigers, the momentum towering, each True Qi soaring, competing with the chill surrounding Lu Chuan.
This is the Tang Family’s secretly cultivated elites, each at the Peak of Early Stage Mythical, their True Qi purity unmatched by ordinary ranks; this is why great clans are called great, as they lead and surpass others.
Their True Qi surged madly, each released power intertwined in the air like a unified source, forming a mountain slowly spinning in the sky, smashing its way towards Lu Chuan.
