Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Yu watched as the Void Fish wreaked havoc on the Poison Dragons, but a frown creased his brow. While they were causing significant damage, achieving a complete victory with them alone seemed unlikely.
“The Void Serpent would make quick work of them,” he mused, “but its immense size could trigger widespread panic in the city.”
Opting for a more controlled approach, Lu Yu drew his Star Piercing Demonic Sword. With a resounding, “Star Piercing Spike!” he unleashed a dazzling light that tore through the air, impaling the Poison Dragon directly through its head, abdomen, and tail. The creature erupted in a violent explosion, showering the battlefield in gore.
The leader of the enemy forces, a hulking figure with a crimson eye patch, roared in fury. “Damn you! You’ll pay for that!”
He unleashed a torrent of poison from the Poison Dragon he commanded, but Lu Yu reacted swiftly.
A beam of sword energy effortlessly deflected the noxious liquid, leaving the leader sputtering in frustration.
“Accept reality!” Lu Yu boomed, his voice echoing across the battlefield. “The gap in our power is insurmountable! You all face certain doom!”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” the leader retorted. “We won’t fall to a single opponent!
The humiliation of such a defeat would haunt us eternally.”
A smirk played on Lu Yu’s lips. “Fear not,” he said, “your shame will die with you. I’ll ensure that.”
He tightened his grip on his Star Piercing Demonic Sword, readying the final blow.
“Don’t underestimate us!” The leader roared, his defiance unwavering. “Even with one dragon down, we won’t surrender! We fight until our last breath!”
If they were to lose now, all the preparations they had made would be in vain.
Seeing the leader’s unwavering resolve, Lu Yu sighed internally. “Fine,” he muttered, “traditional methods are proving tedious. Time to unleash the Fire Spirit Dragon.”
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the Fire Spirit Pearl high into the air. In a blinding flash, a colossal figure materialized—the Fire Spirit Dragon. Its immense size dwarfed even the remaining Poison Dragons.
The moment the Fire Spirit Dragon appeared, the ambient temperature skyrocketed, warping the very air itself.
Its crimson scales glowed ominously, sending shivers down the spines of the enemy soldiers below. Panic erupted as they cast aside their weapons and armor, fleeing for their lives.
The leader of the Demon Lord Abyss army gaped in disbelief. “Cowards! Get back here! Stand your ground!” He bellowed, his voice laced with desperation.
But his commands fell on deaf ears. His own confidence wavered as he gazed into the Fire Spirit Dragon’s fiery eyes, his bravado melting away into raw fear.
“Now, do you have any last words?” Lu Yu inquired, his voice laced with a hint of finality.
The leader, his bravado shattered, stammered, “I… I have nothing to offer in my defense. But one question lingers in my mind. Who are you? Why lend a hand to Skyplume City? Our intel indicated Skyplume wouldn’t have such a powerful guardian! You definitely don’t hail from here.”
He speared Lu Yu with a desperate gaze, seeking an answer.
“Indeed, I’m not from Skyplume,” Lu Yu confirmed coolly. “My background is of no concern to you. You need only understand one thing-your demise is imminent.”
With a fearsome roar, the Fire Spirit Dragon unleashed a torrent of fire from its maw. The inferno engulfed the nearest Poison Dragon, consuming it whole in a destructive blaze. The rider met a fiery end as well, reduced to charred remains that plummeted to the earth.
The remaining Poison Dragons scattered in panic, their bravado replaced by a primal fear for survival. The Fire Spirit Dragon flapped its colossal wings, returning to Lu Yu’s side.
Alighting on its back, Lu Yu patted the creature’s flank with a satisfied smile. “Excellent work. The task was dispatched with remarkable ease. The ground troops are in full retreat, and the aerial threat has been neutralized. It seems the Demon Lord Abyss isn’t as formidable as anticipated.”
With a mental command, Lu Yu recalled both the Fire Spirit Dragon and its pearl. He then turned his focus back to Skyplume City.
Soaring above the city walls, he marveled at the sprawling cityscape—a dense tapestry of buildings stretching out as far as the eye could see.
Lu Yu began his descent, reaching his destination, a villa nestled within the urban area.
Inside the villa, Zhao Qingya paced restlessly, her brow furrowed with worry. A sudden gust of wind heralded Lu Yu’s arrival.
Seeing him land safely, she rushed over, relief washing over her features. “Lu Yu, you’re back! How did it go? Are you hurt? Did you encounter any resistance?”
Lu Yu offered a reassuring head shake. “The enemy has been dealt with definitively.”
“Dealt with already? But you were only gone for less than half an hour!” Zhao Qingya exclaimed, disbelief coloring her voice.
Lu Yu shrugged nonchalantly. “Indeed, it’s over. It’s time for me to resume my rest. The Demon Lord Abyss forces have been eliminated, and the ground troops have fled in terror. Peace has returned.”
Zhao Qingya took a deep breath, her initial skepticism giving way to acceptance. “This is unexpected. Your strength is truly beyond compare. I underestimated you considerably.”
“He single-handedly defeated the enemy! It appears the hunting team has unearthed a hidden gem,” she remarked with a newfound respect, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes.
Lu Yu then turned his attention to Jiang Xun. “Continue diligently with taming your Frost Dragon. Don’t let up. If the opportunity arises, I’ll find a prestigious academy to refine your skills. Remember, when you reach the pinnacle of your career on the hunting team, you stand with me.”
Jiang Xun saluted smartly. “Consider it done, boss!” he declared with a burst of laughter.
Zhao Qingya observed their interaction, a sigh escaping her lips. “That boy has exceptional luck. Speaking of which, if you’re open to taking on more disciples, I wouldn’t mind recommending my nephew.”
“Continue putting in the effort,” Lu Yu acknowledged. “I’ll assess your performance in this battle and award you appropriate honors and promotions.” “A captaincy at the very least, wouldn’t you agree?” She proposed playfully.
Lu Yu chuckled, shaking his head. “Not necessary. How about this? I’ll take on the position of deputy chief of the Southwest Patrol Department. What do you
Zhao Qingya’s expression turned serious at his suggestion. “Deputy chief? In that case… well, it wouldn’t be entirely impossible, but such a rapid promotion is quite unprecedented..”
