Divine Emperor of Heavenly Destiny

The miserable state of his father-in-law, Cheng Chuming, Su Shangmo, and the others was right before his eyes.

Previously, Saint Su City had not been entirely powerless. The Saint Bone Families had troops in the Dragon Flame Kingdom. If they had united, they might not have lost to Vice Commander Liu and his men.

Although Vice Commander Liu possessed a Moon Mortal Bone, his cultivation was only at the Creation Realm. He wasn’t terrifying like Mo Jing, who could suppress a massive army. But it was precisely because of the meddling of Elder Lady Su and the others that Su Shangmo and his group were now being brutally tormented.

How could Lu Chao possibly spare them?

Furthermore, the Dragon Flame Kingdom had long ago notified the Saint Bone Su Family that the terrifying threat of the Cyan Sword Great Empire was about to descend. Yet, the moment they heard ”Cyan Sword Great Empire,” Elder Lady Su and her ilk had thrown open the city gates and let them in.

They had knelt in surrender to welcome them.

Just as Elder Lady Su, Su Jueying, and the others felt their skin crawl under the pressure of Lu Chao’s killing intent...

BOOM!

Vice Commander Liu’s True Qi erupted from his body. Seething with killing intent, he stared at Lu Chao and roared, ”The Young City Lord’s finger is completely ruined! It can’t be reattached! I want you dead! I want your entire family... dead, dead, DEAD!”

’He knew the Young City Lord’s personality all too well. He would definitely skin us guards alive for this.’

’It was us who failed to stop Lu Chao from entering the Forbidden Land.’

He was no longer in the mood to humiliate or mock Lu Chao. He just wanted to kill, just wanted revenge.

Vice Commander Liu completely lost it, and he lunged murderously toward Lu Chao.

But Lu Chao just smiled serenely. ”In your Young City Lord’s letter... he probably doesn’t want me to die by your hand, does he?”

’Just now, Xiao Su’er told me what was in Chi Xingxun’s letter...’

As his voice fell, the furiously charging Vice Commander Liu screeched to a halt, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood as he remembered the letter. It said the Young City Lord wanted to take Cheng Yunsu in front of Lu Chao.

That definitely meant he didn’t want Lu Chao to die just yet.

”I’m going to tie you up and whip you for three days and three nights...”

There was no other choice but to let Lu Chao live. With that thought, he resumed his charge toward Lu Chao...

And just as he was about to reach him, Lu Chao spoke calmly again. ”I have some more news for you. You probably won’t have to wait for your Young City Lord to arrive. He might already be dead in the Azure Flame Sect.”

At these words, Vice Commander Liu slammed to a halt again, his eyes widening in fury. ”What... what did you say?”

’The Young City Lord, dead in the Azure Flame Sect? Impossible.’

”Are you trying to say our Young City Lord is trapped and will die in the Forbidden Land?”

”Do you take me for a three-year-old? I just received a letter from our Young City Lord, and you think you can trick me?”

Vice Commander Liu quickly calmed down, his voice laced with coldness as he spoke...

’The Young City Lord’s letter said they had already left the Azure Flame Forbidden Land,’ he thought. ’How could they be trapped and killed there?’

Shen Ji also stepped forward at this moment and said coldly, ”That’s right. Lu Chao, you’re trying to trick us into leaving Saint Su City. You’re too naive.”

With Lu Chao’s current realm and strength, it was impossible for him to defeat Vice Commander Liu.

Therefore, Shen Ji concluded that Lu Chao was bluffing, using a ploy to intimidate them.

But Lu Chao simply laughed again...

”Perhaps you’ll be receiving a second letter from Chi Xingxun very soon...”

”Because Mo Jing of Yan Soul City is already on his way to the Azure Flame Sect. You should know what he’s going there for.”

The moment he said this... BUZZ!

A buzz exploded in Vice Commander Liu’s mind, and he stumbled back several steps.

He immediately started shaking his head frantically. ”Impossible! How could Mo Jing go to the Azure Flame Sect? He doesn’t even know... No, wait. You notified them! You told Yan Soul City to go to the Azure Flame Sect and ambush our Young City Lord?”

Halfway through his sentence, Vice Commander Liu understood. He pointed a shaking finger at Lu Chao.

”No. I heard it from Nan Zhuiming and a few Yan Soul Guards who died by my hand.” As Lu Chao spoke, he casually took out several Yan Soul Guard tokens and dangled them in front of Vice Commander Liu.

’Of course, I’m not going to sell out Zeng Quan in front of so many people.’

’Zeng Quan might still be of great use later, after all.’

Staring intently at the Yan Soul Orders in Lu Chao’s hand, Vice Commander Liu knew this was very likely true.

And right at that moment... COO COO!

Another carrier pigeon landed on Vice Commander Liu’s arm. It was indeed from Chi Xingxun. The letter read: *Mo Jing of Yan Soul City is attacking. Bring men back immediately to support. Return to the Azure Flame Sect at once.*

This was, of course, the second letter Chi Xingxun had sent out after encountering Mo Jing.

Chi Xingxun knew he was in great danger while being besieged, so of course he had sent a message to Vice Commander Liu, telling him to hurry back with reinforcements.

At this very moment, Vice Commander Liu’s hand, which was clutching the letter, was trembling violently. He then looked at Lu Chao and growled, ”Even if we rush back now, we won’t make it in time! We’ll capture you two first, then it won’t be too late to return to the Azure Flame Sect...”

It would take at least five days to get from Saint Su City back to the Azure Flame Sect, even at the fastest speed their mounts could manage.

If they went back now, it would be too late.

So, Vice Commander Liu decided to capture Lu Chao and his wife first. Without any further hesitation, he charged at Lu Chao again. ”Even if our Young City Lord dies in the Azure Flame Sect, I must capture you and bring you to our City Lord as an explanation...”

After speaking, the terrifying True Qi of the Creation Realm blasted toward Lu Chao.

Vice Commander Liu then bellowed, ”Kill them! Kill Lu Chao’s father-in-law and the rest! Slaughter them all!”

As he finished giving the order, Vice Commander Liu’s palm was already striking toward Lu Chao’s forehead.

But at that very moment, Lu Chao suddenly looked up and roared, ”Violent! Soldier-Breaking! Sword!”

Don’t forget, Lu Chao was still holding Chi Xingxun’s Red Patterned Sword. He thrust it toward Vice Commander Liu’s heart.

Ignoring the palm strike aimed at his head, Lu Chao thrust forward with absolute decisiveness.

Combining the power of his Violent Bone and his Moon Profound Soldier-Breaking Bone, he stabbed forward with unstoppable momentum, the True Qi of his Peak Fourth Layer cultivation erupting from within him.

This was a desperate, all-or-nothing strike.

Such a sword strike brought a look of disbelief to Vice Commander Liu’s eyes. If he ignored Lu Chao’s sword and followed through with his palm strike to kill him, he himself would also be fatally stabbed. Thus, he didn’t hesitate for a moment...

His palm, which was striking at Lu Chao, swerved downward and brutally collided with Lu Chao’s sword... VMM!

A deafening blast...

Lu Chao was sent flying back by the force of the Creation Realm True Qi.

Vice Commander Liu, however, only stumbled back two steps. His eyes were wide as he said, ”What a powerful sword! What powerful True Qi! You fearless mutt! You actually tried to force me to retract my hand with a mutual-destruction gambit...”

”And you... you’re actually at the Peak Realm Fourth Level! What Heavenly Destiny Bone was that just now?”

Lu Chao had been pushed far back to the entrance of the Su Mansion. His chest heaved, and blood dripped from the hand gripping his sword.

Both were in the Creation Realm, but Vice Commander Liu was vastly, overwhelmingly stronger than Nan Zhuiming.

Besides, Nan Zhuiming was only at the Creation First Layer, while Vice Commander Liu was clearly much higher—at least the Creation Fifth or Sixth Layer.

”The Bone of Myriad Stars,” Lu Chao replied calmly, adjusting the True Qi throughout his body.

Still using the Bone of Myriad Stars as a cover, he gripped his Red Patterned Sword and stepped forward once more.
