Divine Emperor of Heavenly Destiny

A murderous cry erupted from Lu Chao.

Pfft...

The spear in his hand shot out like a thunderbolt, instantly running through a student from Weihu Academy. Lu Chao then hoisted the body high.

Mounted on his warhorse, Lu Chao held the Weihu student aloft on his spear, fresh blood streaming down from the tip.

His gaze slowly swept across Battle Valley before settling on the masters from the nineteen University Institutes. In a cold voice, he said, ”I’ll give you this corpse as a welcoming gift...”

As he finished speaking, he flicked his spear, sending the body of the Weihu student flying.

Without a second glance, Lu Chao continued... to kill!

Behind him, Luo Wendeng smirked. ”Yan Jun, where do you think you’re going?”

He had sent Yan Jun flying moments before while charging alongside Lu Chao, adding injury upon injury to the wounds Yan Jun had sustained the day before. Now that Yan Jun saw Lu Chao truly begin his slaughter, he was terrified and had turned to run.

But Luo Wendeng would not let him get away. His profound hatred coalesced into a single swing of his sword.

With a pfft...

Yan Jun, his back to Luo Wendeng, was struck by the sword. A blood-curdling scream tore through the air.

The next instant... THUMP THUMP THUMP!

Luo Wendun spurred his horse, arriving behind Yan Jun. He put the full momentum of his warhorse into a heavy chop with the greatsaber in his hands.

Yan Jun’s head flew high into the air, trailing a spray of blood.

For a moment, it seemed Yan Jun was not yet truly dead. His decapitated head, spinning wildly through the air, stared wide-eyed, glaring fixedly at the Luo brothers.

His eyes were filled with disbelief, regret, and indignation...

To this, Luo Wendeng merely said with indifference, ”He’s an insignificant nobody, little brother. Keep killing!”

Tearing his gaze away from Yan Jun, Luo Wendeng chased after Lu Chao, snatched up a sword someone had dropped, and resumed his frenzied slaughter.

Luo Wendun’s eyes were bloodshot. He thought of his past suffering in the Wolf Flame Kingdom, and then of personally beheading Yan Jun. A weight seemed to lift from his heart, and he roared to the heavens. His killing intent surged as he spurred his horse into a wild slaughter.

Jiang Yi and the two other veteran Dragon Flame Academy students were trembling, but in this situation, they had no choice but to go all in, killing without pause.

”Fake Lu Chao, you’re dead! All of you are dead!”

Watching Yan Jun and the others being mercilessly slaughtered, the high-level masters from the nineteen University Institutes, Zhongyue Academy, and others roared to the sky. They charged wildly toward Lu Chao and his group, their bodies bursting with explosive True Qi.

This was the scene that now unfolded before the eyes of the crowd on the cliffs...

The ten from Dragon Flame Academy cut down their foes from horseback, leaving splashes of blood in their wake.

The high-level masters from the nineteen University Institutes and Zhongyue Academy were madly closing in on foot. Sun Shijin and his people from Dragon Flame Academy were also rushing toward Lu Chao. The three groups formed three powerful torrents of surging True Qi.

’This Fake Lu Chao is ridiculous. Against so many experts from the University Institutes, they’re all dead for sure.’

Such were the thoughts of the many Inner Courtyard students, the Beast Flame Academy leaders, and certain individuals from the Small Institutes watching from the cliffs.

Compared to the numbers from the University Institutes, Dragon Flame Academy had fewer than twenty people in total.

Yet, at that very moment, Marquis Longyin’s voice suddenly rang out...

”All members of the Order Enforcement Team, hear my command! Charge into Battle Valley!”

”From this moment on, you are Lu Chao’s soldiers. You will follow his orders to the letter.”

His voice echoed across the entire valley.

Instantly, Zeng Quan and the other leaders of Beast Flame Academy, who had turned their backs, shuddered violently and spun around.

Zheng Liyuan couldn’t help but roar, ”Marquis Longyin, do you really want to blow this situation up?”

In response, Marquis Longyin simply gave a cold smile...

”You are the ones who wanted to escalate this. First, there were the biased and targeted rules. Then, you tried to frame Dragon Flame Academy with poison gas. Now, you’re even letting the deans and masters from twenty University Institutes interfere with the duels of the second trial...”

”Whether as the Commander of the Order Enforcement Team or as a representative of the Dragon Flame Kingdom, I must take charge of this matter.”

”I told Lu Chao yesterday that if things were still unfair today, then we’d just fight it out!”

Yesterday, Lu Chao had asked if he, Marquis Longyin, could handle the fallout if Lu Chao took on all twenty University Institutes.

Now, here was the answer!

At his command... THUMP THUMP THUMP!

The members of his Order Enforcement Team burst into action. Some charged from the cliffs, others leaped down from Flying Bird Demon Beasts in the sky, and still others charged madly from the forest. They all rapidly converged on Lu Chao and his ten companions.

Almost all of them mounted warhorses, the very same ones kept in the forest for the student duels.

The face of every single one of them was filled with fighting spirit...

They were Marquis Longyin’s men, and they were also men of the Dragon Flame Kingdom.

They had personally witnessed Lu Chao’s roar cause warhorses to collapse. Only a mighty general could possess such power and presence.

So young, and yet so formidable...

They had to secure this future super-general for the Dragon Flame Kingdom.

As the Order Enforcement Team Members charged out, the situation in Battle Valley shifted once more. A terrifying pressure slammed into the high-level masters of the University Institutes, forcing them to a sudden stop.

Their gazes turned cold as they scanned the surrounding Order Enforcement Team Members.

However, the Dean of Weihu Academy roared in a low voice, ”Ignore them! Kill the Fake Lu Chao first!”

Their bodies pulsed with power once more as they resumed their charge toward Lu Chao...

They were faster than the Order Enforcement Team, and they had to kill the Fake Lu Chao to vent their rage before the team members could intervene.

The scene now consisted of the University Institute masters madly approaching Lu Chao’s group of ten, while the Order Enforcement Team Members closed in from all sides.

Faced with this situation, everyone’s gazes once again fell upon Lu Chao...

Beneath his mask, the corners of Lu Chao’s mouth tugged upward. ”Everyone, with me. Retreat.”

At his command...

He immediately wheeled his horse around and galloped away in the opposite direction of the University Institute masters. Luo Wendeng and the others immediately gave chase.

Mounted on warhorses, their speed was naturally fast. As they retreated... AAAAAAH!

The screams continued, as their hooves trampled an untold number of people to death.

Soon, Lu Chao drew near a small squad of Order Enforcement Team Members. He roared again, ”Turn around! Charge!”

He wheeled his horse around again, leading Luo Wendeng and the others as they charged back out. The Order Enforcement Team Members behind them immediately spurred their mounts to follow. In a single back-and-forth maneuver, Lu Chao now had several dozen more riders behind him.

They charged head-on toward their fastest pursuer, Dean Weihu.

”Combine your strength with mine! Kill!”

The aura of Lu Chao’s Dragon General Bone spread to the men behind him, causing their True Qi to flare. He gathered their True Qi onto his spear and, using the momentum of their charge, unleashed a single, devastating thrust.

The spear tip struck Dean Weihu dead center...

His eyes flew wide as he hastily protected his entire body with True Qi.

But the force of the charge from Lu Chao and his dozens of men sent Dean Weihu flying... With a cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown violently backward.

He crashed hard into the ranks of the pursuing University Institute masters, where he was caught by another master.

Dean Wind Wolf quickly asked, ”Dean Weihu, are you all right?”

”Gah...”

Dean Weihu coughed up another mouthful of blood, but before he could reply, Lu Chao suddenly roared, ”Halt!”

His cavalry squad stopped instantly. And then... SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!

Sun Shijin and his men had converged with Lu Chao. All the Order Enforcement Team Members, rushing in from all directions, had also joined him.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Chao no longer had a mere few dozen men at his back.

His contingent had instantly transformed into an elite troop, boasting the powerful expert Sun Shijin and several hundred members of the Order Enforcement Team.

Pointing his spear forward, Lu Chao bellowed once more, ”With me! Let’s crush these sore losers from the University Institutes!”
