Chapter 1939 - 1912: The Man in Black
After all, Lu Tianxing must die, but even after killing Lu Tianxing, the crisis they face will not be resolved.
Lu Tianxing is not only the leader of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps but also the third young master of the Lu Family. If Lu Tianxing dies in the Eagle Country, it’s almost impossible for the Lu Family not to react. At that time, the Lu Family will retaliate for Lu Tianxing’s death no matter what, and he and Nelson will naturally bear the brunt. However, if he is seriously injured, Nelson will have the ability to kill him and claim publicly that he and Lu Tianxing perished together, allowing Nelson to escape the situation, which he is unwilling to see.
With this in mind, Shiva’s body moved in mid-air, gathering a mouthful of True Qi. His figure shot out instantly, choosing not to perish together with Lu Tianxing. After all, Lu Tianxing was already a dying man, and there was no need to stubbornly fight to the end with such a person.
Seeing Shiva retreat, a flash of light crossed Nelson’s eyes, which soon disappeared without a trace.
After Shiva left, Lu Tianxing did not pursue but rushed directly towards Angel, and at the same time, with a move of True Qi, a longsword condensed from True Qi appeared in his hand.
With a slight shake, it instantly transformed into several fierce bursts of cold light, directly slashing towards the few members of the American Superman Team charging at Angel.
"This is bad."
Seeing this scene, Nelson’s face suddenly changed, and he charged out, raising his fist to strike. With the enhancement of his Berserk ability, the fist wind, with an overwhelming presence, directly shattered the sword Qi.
"Hiss!"
With a punch that shattered the sword Qi, a smile appeared at the corner of Nelson’s mouth, but before he could truly feel pleased, suddenly, in the night sky, a brilliant cold light appeared out of thin air, like a Can Yue sweeping across the sky, directly roaring in.
It was a crescent-like sword light!
Seeing this, the smile that had just formed at the corner of Nelson’s mouth instantly froze, and he couldn’t help but show a look of fear on his face. When he saw this sword light appearing out of nowhere, Nelson only felt a horrifying shiver down his spine, goosebumps rising on his neck, as if a gleaming blade was directly placed across his throat.
"Retreat quickly, do not approach Angel again."
Nelson shouted, hurriedly twisting his body and bursting out backwards. As for rescuing those few members of the American Superman Team, he wasn’t magnanimous enough to exchange his life for others’ way out.
Nelson fled, but that didn’t mean others were fast enough to run; even though everyone moved to retreat when they heard Nelson’s words, it was already too late.
That crescent-like sword light, carrying the aura of death and annihilation, roared in like a shooting star streaking across the void.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"
Several sounds of sharp weapons slicing through heads echoed as several heads flew into the sky, immediately followed by several blood streams shooting upward like fountains, appearing particularly shocking in the dark sky.
In the next moment, a figure wrapped in a robe, with even their face hidden in the darkness, appeared in mid-air. Standing calmly in the void, with no aura emitted from the body, yet it caused an uncontrollable chill to rise in everyone’s hearts present, as if this wasn’t a living person standing before them, but a vast ocean, seemingly calm, yet possibly transforming into monstrous waves at any moment, capable of destroying everything.
Lu Tianxing helped Angel stand up, his gaze falling on the black-clad figure that suddenly appeared on the rooftop, his eyes flashing with a bright light, trying to identify who this newcomer was and why they were attacking the members of the American Superman Team.
And as Nelson and Shiva saw this abruptly appearing black-clad figure, they couldn’t help but tremble in their hearts.
Who exactly was this suddenly appearing black-clad figure, and when did they arrive? How come they didn’t notice when he appeared, and moreover, that sword light that instantly killed five people was too terrifying. If that crescent light was aimed at them, could they stop it, or would they end up like the others, decapitated directly?
Thinking of this, both Nelson and Shiva were drenched in cold sweat from head to toe, exchanging glances and seeing the apprehension in each other’s eyes. Even though they are at the late stage of Mythical, already invincible powerhouses, they still felt fear. On the black-clad figure, they sensed the threat of death.
"Who are you, do you also want the Four Symbols Ring?"
Shiva took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart, his eyes fixed intently on the black-clad figure before him, trying to discern the face beneath the black robe, but ultimately to no avail. It was just a layer of blackness, yet it seemed like a black sky, impenetrable no matter what.
The black-clad figure cast a casual glance at Shiva without speaking, then looked at Lu Tianxing, whose entire body was overflowing with violent energy, his tone devoid of emotional fluctuation: "For the sake of a woman, you don’t care even about your own life and death. Is it worth it?"
Upon hearing the black-clad figure’s words, Lu Tianxing was momentarily stunned, not expecting the black-clad figure to ask him such a question.
After a brief daze, Lu Tianxing returned to his senses, looked at Angel leaning pale-faced in his arms, and revealed a gentle smile, saying calmly, "It’s worth it. To me, as long as I think it’s worth it, then it is, regardless of life and death. If it were you, and a woman was willing to sacrifice her life for you, would you abandon this woman and leave alone?"
Hearing Lu Tianxing retort, the black-clad figure’s eyes, hidden in the darkness, slightly brightened, but the voice devoid of emotional fluctuation came again: "Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you for saying this to me? You should know, right now, killing you would be easy for me."
"Even if you don’t kill me, do you think I have much chance of leaving alive today?" Lu Tianxing looked at the black-clad figure, speaking calmly.
After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, the black-clad figure chuckled slightly, saying, "You should be glad I appeared here today, or you might have truly died here today."
Upon hearing the black-clad figure’s words, Lu Tianxing slightly raised his eyebrows: "We don’t know each other; why do you want to help me?"
Lu Tianxing never believed in free lunches in this world, nor did he believe in things falling from the sky. The black-clad figure couldn’t be helping him without reason.
"Why?"
The black-clad figure glanced at Lu Tianxing, speaking in a cryptic tone: "Just consider it as you resembling an old acquaintance of mine!"
