<strong>Capítulo 1576: Chapter 1569: Arriving Just in Time</strong>
After a brief moment of surprise, Luan Hongyue’s eyes flickered, and she said calmly, “I think you’ve got the wrong person. I, Luan Hongyue, have absolutely no connection with Lu Tianxing. To be blunt, I’m just a social butterfly. Do you think Lu Tianxing would like a social butterfly?”
Luan Hongyue knew very well that since they had captured her, they must want to use her to threaten Lu Tianxing. With her abilities, there was no chance of escape. The only thing she could do now was make them believe that she indeed had no rtion to Lu Tianxing, so that Lu Tianxing would not be in any danger.
“No connection at all? Hehe, Miss Luan, your acting is quite convincing. If I didn’t know better, I’d believe you. Unfortunately, this is of no use to me. You might as well stay here obediently! When Lu Tianxing arrives, we’ll naturally verify if he really doesn’t care about you.”
Brother Dao nced at Luan Hongyue, his only eye gleaming coldly. He said nothing more, but sat there, closing his eyes to regain his strength, waiting for Lu Tianxing’s arrival.
“Heh, little beauty, don’t worry. We won’t harm a flower. After I kill Lu Tianxing, I’ll let you know the joys of being a woman. Then you can judge whether I’m more formidable, or Lu Tianxing is.”
As he spoke, Qian Bao reached out to touch Luan Hongyue’s chin. Although Brother Dao forbade him from doing anything to Luan Hongyue, indulging a little with his hands was no issue.
“The Third Young Master will surely kill you.”
Luan Hongyue gritted her teeth as she confronted Qian Bao, instinctively trying to move back, but felt unable to muster any strength, unable to move an inch. She could only watch as Qian Bao’s hand reached toward her face.
“Ah, no… my hand, my hand. Who is it? Come out,e out.”
At that moment, a sh of light appeared from the void, followed by Qian Bao’s piercing scream echoing throughout the abandoned warehouse.
Upon hearing the scream, Luan Hongyue instinctively lifted her head to look. She saw Qian Bao, who was about to touch her face, screaming hysterically. One of his hands fell to the ground, severed at the wrist, with blood spurting out between his fingers like a fountain, spreading a thick stench of blood.
“Oh no, Lu Tianxing is here.”
Witnessing this scene, everyone’s expressions changed. Brother Dao abruptly stood up, hesitated not even a moment, and like a sh of lightning, he darted toward Luan Hongyue, intending to capture her. As long as he had her, Lu Tianxing wouldn’t dare make a rash move.
“Who gave you the courage to capture my person? Do you want to die?”
Apanied by a voice full of murderous intent, a long halberd appeared out of nowhere in the void, emanating a thick, iron-blood aura, and directly struck toward Brother Dao.
“Not good.”
Faced with the sudden appearance of the long halberd, Brother Dao’s expression drastically changed. In that moment, he felt a strong sense of impending death. Without any hesitation, the long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, shing fiercely toward the void.
“Boom!”
The two forces collided violently, unleashing a terrifying power that swept around, tearing through everything in its path with unstoppable might.
Seeing the iing force surging toward her, Luan Hongyue’s face turned pale. Instinctively, she wanted to dodge, but found her hands and feet tightly bound, unable to move at all. She could only watch helplessly as the force swept toward her.
“Hong Yue, are you alright?”
At that moment, Luan Hongyue suddenly heard a gentle voice by her ear. Next thing she knew, her body lifted off the ground, embraced tightly by someone, and the force that was rushing toward her seemed to be stopped by an invisible barrier, unable to advance any further.
“Third Young Master, why are you here?”
Smelling the familiar scent and feeling the warmth of the embrace, Luan Hongyue could no longer contain the flutter in her heart. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around Lu Tianxing’s, her face filled with excitement. She had never expected Lu Tianxing toe and save her.
After all, she and Lu Tianxing didn’t have much of a rtionship, and Lu Tianxing admitting she was his woman was just a temporary solution. But now, knowing that the others had intentionally captured her hoping he’de, Lu Tian still decisively came to rescue her. This scene shattered all the defenses in Luan Hongyue’s heart.
To any woman, no woman could refuse such tenderness, refuse a man willing to risk himself for her.
Were it not for the inappropriate timing and location, Luan Hongyue might have unabashedly offered her body. She had nothing, no way to express her gratitude to Lu Tianxing except with her body. She didn’t wish for Lu Tianxing to like her or even give her a status; she only hoped to thank Lu Tianxing with her body.
Lu Tianxing smiled slightly at Luan Hongyue and said, “Hongyue, you’re my friend. When a friend is in danger, how could I not show up? Besides, if something were to happen to a beautifuldy like you, it would be the greatest loss in the world.”
While teasing Luan Hongyue, Lu Tianxing’s mind moved slightly, and two streams of True Qi roared out, directly untying the ropes on Luan Hongyue.
“You… you are Lu Tianxing. How did you get in here?”
After Brother Dao shattered the surrounding force with a strike, he looked at Lu Tianxing with a heavy gaze. From the moment of engagement with Lu Tianxing just now, he felt the terrifying strength of Lu Tianxing. The terrifying quality of his True Qi made him feel a shiver in his heart, and even a sense of being crushed.
Upon hearing Brother Dao’s words, Luan Hongyue suddenly came to her senses and quickly said, “Tianxing, you must leave, leave quickly. They kidnapped me just to deal with you. Hurry and go, they have a hidden sniper in the shadows. Take me with you and I’m just a burden, don’t worry about me.”
“Are you the Third Young Master of the Lu Family?”
Before Brother Dao could speak again, a voice full of hatred came from the side.
Qian Bao clutched his hand, ring at Lu Tianxing with a face full of ferociousness, his entire body exuding an air of bloodthirsty intent. For a Martial Artist, being crippled would definitely render over half their strength useless.
“That’s right, it’s me. Tell me, who sent you to kidnap Hongyue? Tell me, who is your mastermind behind this, and I’ll leave you with an intact corpse.”
Lu Tianxing’s tone was calm, yet it could not conceal the murderous intent within.
He believed that someone must be instructing this group to kidnap Luan Hongyue, otherwise, ordinary Loose Cultivators wouldn’t dare to offend him without reason. After all, he is now the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, and no one would risk being hunted by the Lu Family unless there was someone behind them pulling the strings.
“Hahaha, leave me an intact corpse? Lu Tianxing, do you think you’re the Third Young Master of the Lu Family? Let me tell you, in my eyes, you’re nothing but trash. Today, you crippled my arm, so I’m going to take your life.”
Qian Bao red at Lu Tianxing with a ferocious expression, not showing any fear even though his hand was cut off by Lu Tianxing. On the contrary, a surge of murderous intent he couldn’t suppress welled up from his heart. He was determined to tear Lu Tianxing into pieces.
The murderous intent in his heart gradually clouded his judgment. Without any hesitation, Qian Bao lunged towards Lu Tianxing, his body leaping into the air, his right leg carrying the mighty force of thunderous power, fiercely kicking towards Lu Tianxing’s head.
As this kick was delivered, the temperature in the air suddenly burst forth, waves of True Qi emanating from Qian Bao’s leg, turning into mes. Even before approaching Lu Tianxing, it already sent a terrifying heat wave rushing towards him.
Lu Tianxing’s lips curled into a cold smile, without any intention of dodging.
As the kick was about tond, a bloodthirsty intent appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face. His body trembled slightly, and the interweaving True Qi made a crisp sound, like a giant of steel. Six True Qi arms rose into the air, seeming to explode the air. With thunderous power, they crushed through the void, brutally suppressing Qian Bao.
“No, Qian Bao, you’re not his match, retreat quickly.”
Seeing this scene, Brother Dao’s face turned extremely grim, and he shouted angrily without any hesitation. The long knife in his hand shook, a strong sharp force spreading out, followed by the knife’s sh. It instantly condensed into a virtual shadow of a giant knife, slicing through the air, tearing apart the space.
Actually, when Qian Bao was about to make a move on Lu Tianxing, Brother Dao initially wanted to stop him, but in the end didn’t choose to intervene, instead opting to watch and see.
After all, although Qian Bao is unreliable in his actions, his strength is only slightly inferior to Brother Dao, also a middle-stage Mythical expert. Even if Qian Bao was not Lu Tianxing’s match, Brother Dao believed he could withstand a few rounds with Lu Tianxing. However, he never imagined that Lu Tianxing’s strength was so terrifying. The implementation of this move even made Brother Dao feel an overwhelming threat, not to mention Qian Bao, whose strength was weaker than his.
If he doesn’t dodge, the only path left is certain death.
Facing Lu Tianxing’s terrifying might, Brother Dao had no choice but to take action at this moment. He knew very well that if Qian Bao died, he, Zhang Hu, and Divine Gun facing Lu Tianxing, if Lu Tianxing decided to run, attempting to kill him would be nearly impossible.
“I won’t die, I won’t die, Lu Tianxing, you can’t kill me.”
At this moment, Qian Bao also felt an unparalleled aura of death looming over his heart, as if what he faced now was not Lu Tianxing, but a Killing God.
“Heavenly Fire.”
Facing this deadly blow, Qian Bao roared angrily instead of retreating, his legs instantly turning into afterimages, kicking out.
