The visitors were none other than Ji Xiong and Lu Bu.
Six days ago, Ji Xiong had given his word to Shen Gongpao that his could kill Chen Xiaobei within three to five days.
But nothing happened.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
So, upon Lu Buâs request, the both of them were sent to Chen Xiaobeiâs location, and Lu Bu was carrying a Divine Instrument â the Heavenly Halberd.
âWhoa! Shen Gongpao sent them to my exact location! Thank god Iâm not in the Secret Location, or weâd be screwed!â Chen Xiaobei thought to himself while remaining invisible.
âCatch the assassin! Catch the assassin!â
All of a sudden, the whole Lu mansion suddenly exploded into commotion.
Lu Changwei and the others, including numerous guards ran out from different areas of the house, and gathered around the area.
The trap that Zhu Dachang laid out was meticulously planned to prevent their âpreyâ from escaping. Everyone was geared up and ready to catch the âpreyâ at any time.
Even Lu Mingjun and the rest of the core Lu family members were also present.
Ironically, Lu Bu and Ji Xiong had now become Chen Xiaobeiâs scapegoat.
âOoh! This is going to be interesting!â
Chen Xiaobei had planned to leave, but changed his mind and slided into the corner, arms crossed to watch the show. If only he had a can of coke and some popcorn. That would have been awesome.
âWe waited for six days and six nights! Tonight, you guys finally showed up! You stupid assassins!â Lu Changwei shouted, fingers pointed at Lu Bu and Ji Xiong. âHand over the key to Overgrown Forest Hidden Treasure! If you donât, I will carve you up and feed your flesh to the dogs!â
Lu Changwei did not see Chen Xiaobeiâs face the other night; that was why he was so certain that those who had snuck into the Lu Mansion must be Linghu Shuangâs accomplice.
âWhat the hell are you babbling about?â Lu Bu retorted. âAre you the cavalry Chen Xiaobei hired? Iâm giving you three seconds to hand Chen Xiaobei over or Iâll kill all of you!â
âWhat Chen Xiaobei, Chen Xiaonan! You mother*cking assassin! Donât try to act dumb!â Lu Changwei shouted. âApprehend the both of them! Destroy their cultivation first and then send them into the dungeon! I want to use the most inhumane torture to make them regret everything theyâve done!â
âYes, sir!â
Ten of the Luâs elite guards stepped out.
Chen Xiaobei checked them out using his Netherspirit Battlescouter. They were all Celestial Cultivation elites with 70,000 combat power and above.
To an average person, this was a frighteningly powerful combat power. To Lu Bu, however, they were just weak little insects.
Lu Bu did not even bother using his Heavenly Halberd.
âSince you wish to die so badly, weâll help you with that!â
The ten guards began to chortle and slapped their thighs.
âHmph! You stupid assassin! You are such a cocky ass! This is our Lu familyâs territory! Donât be so presumptuous just yet!â
âGet down on your knees like a good dog! Let us destroy your cultivation, or weâre going to make you regret your attitude!â
âHey, you dumb assassins! Why are you just standing there? Are you shaking in your pants? Hahaha!â
The ten guards did not know the strength of the visitors, and even thought that the reason for Lu Buâs lack of response was because he was too afraid.
Lu Mingjun, Lu Changwei and the rest of the core Lu family members with much higher cultivations were watching quietly from the side-lines, observing Lu Buâs every move.
They all knew that the assassins had the strength to knock Lu Changwei out with one strike, but they did not know how strong they were, exactly.
Thus precisely why Lu Changwei did not announce the assassinsâ strength to his guards. To put it bluntly, these guards were just cannon fodders to get a gauge on Lu Buâs real strength.
For the sake of knowing who they were dealing with, he was willing to sacrifice the lives of ten men!
This Lu Changwei really was a disgusting savage! Pure evil!
The ten guards, unaware that they were bring sent into the lionâs den, cracked their knuckles, preparing themselves to take Lu Bu and Ji Xiong down, and be rewarded for their work.
âChen Xiaobei! Iâm going to count down from three! If you donât come out, Iâm going to start spilling blood!â
Lu Bu gave them a last warning.
Chen Xiaobei had to suppress his laughter. Inside he was shouting, âGo ahead and kill! In fact, wipe them out!â
âOne! Two! Three!!â
Lu Bu growled like an outraged tiger. He then unleashed all his strength in split second.
Zing!
There was a strong gust of wind and Lu Bu sprung forward. Initially, he was a few meters away from the guards but now he was standing right in front of them.
âDie!â Lu Buâs fingers transformed into knives, swinging them forward.
There werenât any fancy tricks or even Ethereal Force used; just a simple, straightforward knifehand strike! But still, everyone around could sense the Sword Qi coming out from it.
In the blink of an eye, the heads of all ten guards literally fell to the ground, rolling as if they had just been mowed.
The knifehand strike manage to decapitate the heads of ten guards smoothly. The attack was so fast that the decapitated bodies were still standing firm on the same spot without falling down, before the enemies could realize what had just happened. The knifehand strikeâs force managed to take the lives of another five enemies that stood behind the ten guards. And it did not end here! The last remaining force of the attack had destroyed the house located behind them as well.
âMy godâ¦What kind of force was thatâ¦â
Everyone at the scene were shocked.
Lu Bu had only struck once, and he did not even use much force.
Just imagine what it would have been like if Lu Bu had exerted all of his Ethereal Force. With the same attack, he could actually destroy the entire Lu mansion!
âThis is so scary! What sorcery is this?â
âI donât knowâ¦Iâve never heard of the existence of such a strong elite in Silver Plume planet.â
âWhatâs his cultivation? We couldnât even see his attack clearly!â
The Lu family members looked like they had just seen a ghost, and they even began to retreat unconsciously.
Lu Buâs attack had shaken everyone.
âHeâs a demigod!â
Lu Mingjunâs exclaim only intensified their fears.
Lu Bu turned to Lu Mingjun and said, âSince youâve already seen my cultivation, let me say it one more time: Give me Chen Xiaobei, or I will kill all of you!â
âI donât know who this Chen Xiaobei is!â Lu Mingjunâs tone was stone cold. âIf you want to fight, I, Lu Mingjun, am willing to participate!â
