Chapter 202: Who Dares Block Me (1/2)

Lu Yun didn’t want to stay his hand anymore. He’d been keeping his temper in check and avoiding conflict ever since entering Life Province, refusing to take the bait no matter how others taunted him. He’d hunkered down in his fortress ship, no matter what. It wasn’t that he feared death, he just didn’t want to make an enemy out of the many factions in Nephrite Major.

However, he’d had enough.

This time, his opponents had sent local thugs to taunt and force him into mistakes. This was a threat and a humiliation. He would not back down again.

There was no need for him to back down again.

……

Midair, a man with an icy expression ignored the expanding rimesnake king and charged at Lu Yun, unleashing the power of a peak golden immortal. A spear manifested in his hand while endless killing intent converged from all directions into a river, wanting to rip Lu Yun apart into pieces.

Qing Han blanched. This was more than a little confusing, how dare a golden immortal openly assassinate Lu Yun in the capital?!

However, the governor had already responded with his move.

“Kill!!” At his declaration, nine crimson figures emerged beside him and lunged at the golden immortal.

“There are nine of the arcane immortal zombies!!” The golden immortal’s confidence crumbled. Taking out one or two bloodcorpses with his treasure was a given, but nine of them… that was too much!

Before he could come up with a plan, the bloodcorpses transformed into crimson shadows and tore through his killing intent, attacking him directly.

“Blasphemy! This seat is the deputy commander of the capital guards!” hectored the golden immortal. “You would dare kill me?!”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Lu Yun sneered.

Thud!

Nine crimson shadows barrelled into the golden immortal’s body, tearing the haughty man apart from the inside.

“How dare you!”

“Utter impudence, you’ve crossed a line!”

“You deserve death for your crimes, Lu Yun!” various voices sounded in censure as soon as the deputy commander died.

“Governor of Dusk Province, Lu Yun, murdered the deputy commander of the city guards in broad daylight. Such a crime will not be tolerated! Soldiers, take him down!”

“Understood!” As if previously agreed upon, countless immortals swarmed the area from all directions, crowding the outer city.

Weak in the knees, the thugs of the Blue Dragon Gang collapsed in a trembling heap on the ground. They finally realized who they’d been hired to hit: Governor Lu Yun, the top cultivator in the world, one capable of killing golden immortals!

“You were willing to sacrifice a golden immortal deputy commander to force me into a mistake. What an honor.” Hands behind his back, Lu Yun looked up at the dense swarm of heavenly soldiers with a cold smile tugging at his lips. Qing Han paled slightly. The scale of this ambush was a little too much, even for him.

“Are you afraid, Qing Han?” the Dusk governor asked quietly.

“Hahahaha!!” Qing Han lifted his chin with a peal of hearty laughter. “I’ve ventured into even the tomb of an ancient immortal empress with you. What do I have to fear from a bunch of trash?”

Trash!

Instead of openly challenging Lu Yun, these assailants slunk around with cheap tricks, forcing him into mistakes so that they could slap crimes onto his head. That made them complete trash in Qing Han’s eyes.

“Good!” Lu Yun guffawed. “Since you’re not afraid, then let’s you and I hack our way to the inner city and see what these Nephrite elites can do to me!”

Hack their way to the inner city! His declaration instantly reached all parts of the capital.

“Lu Yun is the top youth sovereign, alright!” Jin Heyi, hot on Lu Yun’s heels, immediately discarded his plan to sneak up on the governor. “Heroes always emerge in chaotic eras of struggle and conflict. If he survives this, he’ll establish himself as a great personage in the world! ...so I am not his match,” he concluded slowly after taking in a deep breath.
