Chapter 2076 - 2049: Lu Chuan Takes Action
Compared to the driver, the man didn’t fare any better, his body also flew backward, uncontrollably spurting blood from his mouth, appearing particularly striking under the illumination.
"Hmph, you two attack him, and the others go capture Dou Fangfang."
After landing, the man looked at the driver with an extremely sinister tone: "And don’t kill him, I want him alive, I will dismantle every bone in his body piece by piece."
As his words fell, the three men beside him turned into shadows without hesitation and tangled with the driver, the rumbling clash of True Qi resounded immediately.
The man glanced at the driver who was entangled, his eyes cold, without hesitation, he strode toward Dou Fangfang’s car.
Sitting inside the car, Dou Fangfang watched the driver being entangled, beaten into a ragged defense, then looked at the man walking towards her, her face unable to remain calm, eyes showing an undeniable panic. She knew very well the purpose of these people, and if she fell into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Watching the man approaching closer, Dou Fangfang bit her red lips, a decisive look flashed across her face, under no circumstances could she fall into this man’s hands, or the entire Lu Family would fall into crisis, and the appearance of these people today was very likely due to the recent actions of Lu Haoyue.
Although Lu Haoyue hadn’t told her the importance of these actions, Dou Fangfang clearly felt that what Lu Haoyue was doing was related to the Lu Family’s future, and if it failed, the Lu Family could end in obliteration, a possibility she absolutely didn’t want to see.
The man slowly approached the car, looked at the dark glass, a bloodthirsty smile appearing at his mouth, slowly reaching out to grab the car door handle.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a sharp cold gleam appeared out of thin air, whistling with a biting cold.
"Not good!"
At the moment of feeling the cold gleam, the man couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart, like being targeted by a bloodthirsty beast, filling his heart with an endless chill, uncontrollably trembling, impulsively wanting to retract his hand, lest it be lost.
However, before the man could make any movement, the cold gleam had already arrived, whistling past his wrist, directly severing it.
What’s more shocking was that after the man’s wrist was severed, no blood flowed out; instead, at that moment, the wound was covered with a layer of ice, spreading to the arm.
"Ah!"
The man immediately couldn’t help but let out a painful scream, shouted, "Who, who exactly, get out here, hiding like a hero?"
This scene happened so quickly, almost instantaneously, leaving no time for any reaction.
It wasn’t until they heard the man’s screams that the remaining four bystanders reacted, immediately rushing towards the man, seemingly wanting to protect him, but before they could get far, they acted as if they’d seen a ghost, their eyes filled with uncontrollable fear, their figures suddenly backing away, even the other three tangled with the driver broke away in fear, staring ahead as if they had seen a ghost.
Under the light, it was clear to see the ice on the man’s wrist spreading to the shoulder, freezing his entire body in a short time, appearing vivid under the light, like a masterpiece crafted by a master sculptor.
On usual occasions, someone might choose to admire this, but now none did; instead, a bone-chilling cold burst from their hearts knowing that this man, at the Peak of Early Stage Mythical, was so close to stepping into Middle-stage Mythical, had not only lost an arm but was also turned into an ice sculpture, evidently dead.
In the blink of an eye, someone capable of killing a Peak of Early Stage Mythical is undoubtedly Middle-stage Mythical, no exception, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to deliver a one-hit kill, not even a chance to retaliate.
"Trying to capture my Lu Family’s people, have you asked me?"
Amidst the panic and frantic search to identify the attacker, a cold voice suddenly echoed.
Upon hearing this voice, the remaining seven men were stunned, feeling a strong sense of crisis engulf them, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, fear of death threatening their hearts.
In the next moment, under the illumination, an elderly man in a Tang suit appeared atop a truck’s cab. This man was none other than the Lu Family’s chief steward — Lu Chuan.
Lu Haoyue and Rose had anticipated this outcome during their collaboration to target the Tang Family forces. The Tang Family would likely associate this with the Lu Family, so Lu Haoyue had discreetly arranged for Lu Chuan to protect Dou Fangfang, understanding she was his vulnerability. If the Tang Family wanted to retaliate, targeting Dou Fangfang was their best approach.
As the Lu Family’s Family Head, targeting him was too difficult, and Lu Tianxing was in Beijing, even if the Tang Family entered Beijing against Lu Tianxing, their chance of success was slim, given Lu Tianxing’s strength, requiring a Late Stage of Mythical expert to deal with him. Sending someone of Middle-stage Mythical against Lu Tianxing was practically sending someone to meet their end.
Furthermore, even if a Late Stage of Mythical expert took action, success wasn’t guaranteed, a failure spelling certain death, a loss even the Tang Family might not withstand.
