Chapter 1252: Never Forget. It Will Echo Back
When the mountains and Liujian Pa.s.s collapsed, Li Heitan’s voice resonated clearly and confidently. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers beside him laughed out loud. After this battle, even though their relatives were not involved, they were affected by the tense atmosphere. The mutton was at the back of their minds. Only Li Heitan remembered.
Lu Shu was upset. “Do you want to eat mutton that badly?”
Li Heitan’s stomach started to growl. Even the sound of the mountains collapsing could not drown out the sound. Lu Shu did not know whether to laugh or to cry. Li Heitan was starving.
Li Heitan said with embarra.s.sment, “Never forget. It will echo back…”
Lu Shu was silent.
This low level of culture easily made him a joke. Lu Shu unkindly said, “Sure. I will let you eat mutton tonight!”
As Lu Shu spoke, Zhang Weiyu and the rest flew into the air. They looked for guards who had miraculously survived in the collapsed mountain. Then, they killed these survivors.
In this war, it was life or death. Lu Shu would not be soft-hearted. Not only did they have to eliminate all the effective strength in the West Region, Lu Shu had to gather distress points for himself and break through the sixth level of nebula!
The mastermind behind this had probably advanced to the master realm. Lu Shu was racing against time. He would only be able to fight the mastermind face to face when he freed himself from the master realm.
Lu Shu was no longer the young man who did not even want the t.i.tle of king. He would make a decision, and be fully willing to pay the price for that decision, even if he had to stain his hands with blood.
But Lu Shu was thinking of a problem. There were many opportunities for the mastermind to personally kill him. After all, the person probably already knew his ident.i.ty. If not, why would they have created such a major plan targeting the Earth?
But why had the mastermind not killed him? Lu Shu suddenly felt that he might have something they needed. Furthermore, this item made them… have to wait.
This was a logical guess. Lu Shu could not find any other answers. This answer seemed absurd, but if the other answers were all eliminated, what was left would definitely be the truth.
Recently, Lu Shu had been paying attention to his system’s back end. He wanted to see whether any special names had appeared, but there was nothing. Had they obtained a method to conceal their distress points?
Continuous screams of grief came from the direction of Liujian Pa.s.s. The mighty pa.s.s had been buried under the landslide of the mountain. There were people who had survived this ordeal, but they would definitely be unable to defend themselves from Zhang Weiyu and the others.
Lu Shu had finished grilling the mutton. He looked at Li Heitan’s expectant gaze. He unkindly said, “You said so yourself. You are unable to wear the Armor that Shook Mountains because you didn’t eat mutton. Let me see what happens when you eat mutton!”
As Lu Shu spoke, he cut a large slab of mutton and pa.s.sed it to Li Heitan. The skin had turned yellow from the grilling. The fragrance of the mutton wafted through the mountains.
Li Heitan cheerily received the meat. “I will be good as long as there is meat to eat.”
Several pieces of mutton were finished up by Li Heitan in seconds. His intentions were immediately exposed. Suddenly, Lu Shu felt that something was wrong. He looked up to the sky. The clouds were moving strangely.
Wait a minute!
Lu Shu looked as Li Heitan rocketed into the sky. Then, he calmly looked to the sky. “What in the world…”
The next moment, the clouds that were moving quickly in the sky suddenly turned a golden yellow shade. Then, the smell of grilled mutton wafted throughout a radius of eight kilometers. The fragrance filled everyone’s nostrils!
Li Heitan had advanced to Rank One at this moment!
Lu Shu was shocked. He was able to advance to Rank One just like that? But what was with your heavenly vision? Were your parents related to Chen Zuan’s parents?
In the past, Chen Baili had told Lu Shu that people with simple thoughts and easily understood intentions advanced to Rank One most easily. Back then, Lu Shu did not believe this. But Li Heitan had advanced to Rank One just like that. Even if Lu Shu did not want to believe this, he could not!
Back then, the bandit Li Heitan had been abandoned by the Azure Dragon Village because of his honesty. Now, as Lu Shu’s underling, his talents shone.
Li Heitan praised Lu Shu simply and honestly. He said that Lu Shu was much stronger than his previous master, as no matter what Li Heitan said, Lu Shu would never be truly angry with him.
Li Heitan had maintained his frank personality. It had never changed. But he had become the first person who advanced to Rank One out of the Azure Dragon Village students.
Li Heitan looked at Lu Shu. His eyes lit up. “Great Lord, where is my Armor that Shook Mountains?”
Lu Shu calmly said, “You don’t need the Armor that Shook Mountains.”
Li Heitan was stunned. “Why?”
Lu Shu unkindly said, “Your head is so hard. Do you still need the Armor that Shook Mountains?”
Li Heitan was confused.
“From Li Heitan’s distress, +999!”
The Imperial Dragon Soldiers beside them started to laugh. They had frequently been angered by Li Heitan, but no one paid much attention.
In the end, Lu Shu gave Li Heitan a set of the Armor that Shook Mountains. A new high-ranking official appeared among the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.
“Great Lord, where do we go next? Are we following our original plan?” Li Liang asked after taking off his helmet.
“We will follow our original plan and kill our way to the West Capital. I want to know how far we have to go to force the mastermind out.” Lu Shu smiled. He was very relaxed.
Even though he was not yet able to free himself from the master realm, so what? He was the king.
The palace was shocked by the news that Liujian Pa.s.s had been destroyed. Typically, even if a war occurred, no one would hear that a strategic pa.s.s had been destroyed. Most of the time, people had broken through and taken control of the pa.s.s.
But Lu Shu and the rest used Liujian Pa.s.s to deliver an important message to everyone else. Lu Shu and the rest did not plan on seizing any territory. They would kill their way through. They would not surrender or stop until they reached the West Capital.
This was different from the wars in the past. In the past, wars were started for the resources and people in a city. But it was as if Lu Shu and the rest had started a war to destroy.
This method was very violent, to the point that it was hard for people to accept.
The wealthy families in the palace put themselves in this position. If they faced this kind of enemy, what should they do?
They did not quite like this kind of destroyer. No matter how strong they were, they would not like this kind of destroyer, as Lu Shu and the rest were not rational.
But so what? So what if they did not like him? Did they dare to stand up against Lu Shu? No.
Humans were strange animals. The weaker you were when you faced them, the more they would think that you were easy to bully. But when you displayed your strength that was able to destroy them, they would… be afraid!
Lu Shu now needed the entire Luniverse to fear him. This way, he would be able to grow, even if the people who feared him were simply aristocrats from wealthy families.
That night, Lu Shu lit up the third star in the sixth level of nebula. He had ama.s.sed a few hundred million distress points. He waited and waited for the fear to spread.
