Divine Emperor of Heavenly Destiny

Hearing footsteps, Yan Jun immediately called out, ”They’re here.”

Full of vigor, they all turned to the source of the sound. Then, their eyes widened one by one. The tall man from Weihu Academy said, ”Just one person, and he’s wearing a mask? What the hell is this?”

That was right. What they saw was Lu Chao, wearing a mask and carrying a long spear, striding toward them.

A Wind Wolf Student rushed forward...

He blocked Lu Chao’s path and asked, ”What the hell are you? Why did you come here alone? Where are your companions?”

The moment his voice fell, Lu Chao’s eyes lifted from behind his mask. Without another word... WHOOSH!

The long spear suddenly swept out horizontally.

”WAAAH...”

Before that Wind Wolf Student could even react, he was swept away with a bloodcurdling scream, his body tumbling into the forest.

At the sound of his scream, the students from the twenty academies all stared wide-eyed.

The auras of a full thousand streams of Innate True Qi pressed down on Lu Chao with a roar.

A normal person would have been scared witless, but Lu Chao, of course, was unfazed. He merely paused his steps for a moment.

At this moment, Yan Jun quickly led the Wind Wolf Students out to confront him.

He demanded in a cold, furious voice, ”Who are you? Are you looking to die?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a Wind Wolf Student had a realization and quickly said, ”Senior Brother Yan, I recognize that mask! It belongs to that dead Great Martial Emperor Star, Lu Chao. This person in front of us is the Fake Lu Chao from Dragon Flame Academy!”

Following this Wind Wolf Student’s words, the students from the twenty academies all had a sudden realization.

After a brief moment of shock, all the anger vanished from Yan Jun’s body. He said with a grin, ”So it’s the Fake Lu Chao. No wonder you attacked my student the moment you appeared. No wonder you’re all alone.”

”Heh heh, Luo Wendeng and the others must have been killed or injured by my little game, right?”

”So, you’ve come to get revenge for them?”

Behind his mask, Lu Chao didn’t answer. He just remained standing there, gripping his long spear.

At this moment, these twenty academies blocking the path had no idea about Lu Chao’s arrangements. They were completely unaware that Sky Cliff Academy and the others had been organized by Lu Chao’s covert actions...

Yan Jun even thought that the little trick he’d left behind had already successfully crippled Luo Wendeng and the others.

”Not answering me?”

Yan Jun narrowed his eyes, then shrugged...

”You’re furious, aren’t you?”

”Your Dragon Flame Academy is completely hopeless now. But for you to come after me for revenge all by yourself... are you crazy?”

At this, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and all the students from Wind Wolf Academy laughed along with him.

The tall man from Weihu Academy sneered, ”Trying to get revenge while wearing Great Wu Lu Chao’s mask? Who do you think you’re scaring?”

The people of the Six Great Flame Countries had a far, far deeper impression of the terrifying Great Wu Lu Chao than the people of the Dragon Flame Kingdom...

And so, a torrent of sarcastic remarks followed one after another.

Yet Lu Chao still didn’t reply...

The aura of his Dragon General Bone was already circulating through his Life-taking Star-devouring Bone.

He was waiting for Senior Sister Sky Cliff and the other five teams to use the opportunity he was creating—drawing all the attention—to sneak into their designated positions.

His Dragon General Bone could sense the movements of everyone in the forest.

「At the same time...」

In the air, Marquis Longyin was drinking wine. He said excitedly, ”It’s starting, it’s starting!”

The Order Enforcement Team Members looked at the overjoyed Marquis Longyin...

They all blinked, wanting to ask if the military genius the Marquis had mentioned earlier could possibly be this Fake Lu Chao.

They had heard that the Fake Lu Chao knew nothing of the Soldier Dao; he only wore the mask to scare people during the Azure Flame Chaos of Hundred Countries.

Below, Yan Jun saw that Lu Chao was still silent...

He finally couldn’t resist shouting, ”Fake Lu Chao, are you scared?”

”If you’re scared, get on your knees right now! As long as you crawl between my legs like Luo Wendeng did, I’ll accept you into Wind Wolf Academy and let you become a student of Beast Flame Academy.”

”I hear you’re quite good at pretending to be Great Wu Lu Chao. You might be a little useful after all.”

Yan Jun’s words once again sent the students from the twenty academies into a frenzy of jeering.

They had no idea that while they were jeering, the five teams had already snuck into position.

Two of those teams had reached the small hill above their heads.

Finally, Lu Chao spoke for the first time. ”Yan Jun, right? Your life belongs to the Luo Family Brothers.”

”Hm?”

Yan Jun froze for a second, about to retort with a few more sarcastic remarks.

But... WHOOSH!

Lu Chao’s long spear swung up for a second time. With no discernible spear technique, he simply lashed out directly at Yan Jun.

Yan Jun never expected Lu Chao to attack so suddenly. He hastily erupted with the True Qi of an Innate Eighth Layer to defend himself.

But... WAH!

Yan Jun’s Innate Eighth Layer True Qi was instantly scattered by Lu Chao’s strike, and he was sent flying into the crowd with a strange cry.

This scene stunned the jeering crowd into silence.

”He actually sent Yan Jun flying! His realm is clearly only the Innate Third Layer!”

”Be careful. I heard that back in Saint Su City in the Dragon Flame Kingdom, he killed Zheng Zhuhai, who was at the Innate Eighth Layer, with a single spear strike.”

”Is he that strong? It’s useless, though. He’s only one person.”

The thousand-odd students began to murmur among themselves, once again rubbing their palms in anticipation.

But Yan Jun, who had flown into the crowd, landed hard. Wiping his mouth, he found blood seeping out. He roared madly, ”Nobody move! The Fake Lu Chao belongs to my Wind Wolf Academy!”

With that, he charged at Lu Chao again, bellowing, ”How dare you ambush me! I’ll kill you!”

Just as Yan Jun was about to reach him, Lu Chao spoke slowly from behind his mask, ”Might of the Dragon General... ROAR!”

A terrifying soundwave boomed from Lu Chao’s mouth. It was none other than the Might of the Dragon General he had once used before the gates of the Dragon Flame Royal Capital.

The soundwave blasted toward Yan Jun, who bore the brunt of the attack... WAH!

His mind was shaken by the blast. Already injured, he fell to the ground on the spot, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.

The others forgot their discussions, their minds completely stunned by the shockwave.

After just a single breath, Lu Chao retracted the Might of the Dragon General and said, ”The mask of Great Wu Lu Chao is meant to scare people like you.”

As his voice fell, his long spear coiled and shot out, sweeping horizontally once more toward the nearest Wind Wolf students...

WAAAH WAAAH WAAAH...

A series of miserable cries rang out as more than a dozen Wind Wolf Students were swept away.

Without a second glance, Lu Chao took another heavy step and plunged into the crowd.

Everywhere he went... AAAAAH!

The air filled with piercing screams. Lu Chao wasn’t killing them, but with every sweep of his spear, a dozen people were sent flying with serious injuries, instantly losing their ability to fight.

Only after he had swept away dozens of people did the crowd, their minds still reeling from the Might of the Dragon General, finally snap back to their senses.

The tall man from Weihu roared frantically, ”Damn that bastard! Stop him! Blast him!”

Following his words, the students who had regained their senses all erupted with True Qi and charged toward Lu Chao.
