C33 The Great Liang Has No Crown Prince
Crack!
The Imperial Army soldier hurled outwards emitted a pitiful scream, indicating bones might have been shattered.
The soldier who had been standing inside the room was taken aback. As he opened his mouth to yell, a dark blur whisked past him, and suddenly, he was flying through the air uncontrollably.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Lu Yu showed no mercy, and each soldier he tossed landed with a heavy thump, some even cracking the stone tiles beneath them.
"Lu Yu, perfect timing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." The Imperial Army commander began with a sneer, but before he could finish, he felt his collar yanked upwards.
With an icy glare, Lu Yu gripped his collar tightly. "Didn't I make myself clear? Anyone who dares harm my family will die!"
The commander was taken aback, this turn of events was not what he had anticipated.
Before he could gather his wits, he felt his body spiral out of control and he was flung through the air.
Splash!
The commander's body plunged into the ornamental pond in front of the main hall, water spraying everywhere.
Lu Yu leaped from the hall, landing gracefully at the pond's edge.
Despite being a Xiantian master, the commander, now submerged, quickly regained his senses, his emotions a mix of humiliation and rage.
To think he, a seasoned warrior, had been disgracefully tossed aside by a mere youth!
"I'll flay you alive!" he bellowed, attempting to heave himself out of the water.
But at that moment.
A large hand descended, clamping down on the commander's neck.
"If you haven't heard before, then listen well now. Anyone who dares lay a finger on my family will die," Lu Yu's voice resonated from above the water.
What!?
Panic struck the commander, and he began to thrash desperately.
A Xiantian powerhouse, he summoned his immense strength and channeled his true qi, struggling to break free from the water's grasp.
Yet, Lu Yu's grip was unyielding, like a mighty mountain, relentlessly holding him under.
Slowly, the commander felt his strength ebbing away, dizziness swirling in his head.
Even as a Xiantian master, he was, after all, only human. Submerged for too long, his breath was running short.
"Wuwuwu..."
The Imperial Army commander began to struggle desperately, pleading for mercy.
He realized he had hit a wall. At this moment, pride was irrelevant; his life was at stake!
How could he dare? How could he dare to kill him!
Unaware due to the Crown Prince's deliberate concealment, the Imperial Army commander had no clue that Lu Yu had already slain King Wei.
If Lu Yu dared to kill a prince, what was a mere general to him?
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea passed.
Lu Yu nonchalantly dragged the lifeless body of the Imperial Army commander out and discarded it on the ground like garbage.
A crowd of Imperial Army soldiers had gathered around him, though none had entered the main hall.
To them, an Imperial Army commander was an unbeatable force!
Yet, such a formidable figure was effortlessly slain by Lu Yu!
No one dared approach, they simply watched Lu Yu with trepidation.
The silence was profound, broken only by the intermittent wails of the fallen Imperial Guards on the ground.
"Go back and tell the Crown Prince that I will attend the War God's trial in three days!"
Lu Yu's voice was stern. "Inform him that if he continues to send these pests to trouble my family, I won't hesitate to leave Daliang without an heir!"
The thought of Daliang without an heir sent a shock through the Imperial Guards. They didn't dare linger and quickly departed with the moaning soldiers and the corpses of their fallen comrades.
Once the group had left, Lu Yu turned to the astonished Zhong Bo and commanded, "Zhong Bo, order all the guards that from now on, all outsiders entering the estate, even if it's the Emperor himself, must surrender their weapons!"
