<h4>Chapter 2420: Chapter 2420: Back Again</h4>
"Empress, your foresight is remarkable, predicting that the enemy wouldunch a surprise attack on us. You stationed masters in the mansion ahead of time, saving our lives!"
The members of the Dragon n felt much more at ease when they saw Dragon Dance arriving on the flying dragon.
Just a few minutes ago, they almost became ghosts under the knife.
Dragon Dance’s return meant that the other people from the Dragon n were also not far away.
"Upon receiving the news, I rushed here immediately. The rest are also desperately making their way back, but their speed will certainly be much slower. Everyone, be cautious and hold on until they arrive."
Inside, Dragon Dance was puzzled, but now was no time for investigation.
Clearly, those folks from the Lu family were intimidated by her, yet they mobilized arge number of people toe all this way. Would they really leave empty-handed?
This was simply impossible.
The most formidable faction of the Lu family wasn’t here.
Evidently, in the eyes of the Lu family, these old, weak, sick, and disabled people didn’t require the intervention of their core forces.
Just bringing a small portion was enough.
Dragon Dance’s prediction was not wrong.
Just as the flying dragon ced the heavily injured ck Dragon on the ground, the Lu family returned.
The aura of the flying dragon was tremendously powerful; almost instantly, it killed many elites of the Lu family, instilling fear in them.
But fear was only temporary.
They were all martial artists and understood that the power of one person, or one dragon, was limited.
They had the numbers, while Dragon Dance was alone, with just one dragon.
It seemed that the very skilled knife fighter had not appeared either.
The reason for their swift departure was partly due to being shaken by the clean and swift manner in which the blindfolded knife fighter slew Lu Qianqiu earlier.
Immediately afterward, a flying dragon descended from the sky, a bolt of lightning killed many people, and naturally, the Lu family was frightened.
Once they recovered their senses, they realized they had encountered a golden opportunity.
That was to kill the woman with the most influence in the Dragon n, Dragon Dance, who stood before them.
Beforeing, Lu Chengdong went through extensive preparations.
They had thoroughly investigated the entire framework and origins of the Dragon n, as well as an approximate estimate of everyone’sbat strength.
Although, during this process, a part of the Lu family was frightened by the depth and foundation of the Dragon n, feeling extremely fearful, yet under Lu Chengdong’s relentless insistence, the Lu family decided toe to Boulevard Mountain.
For this reason, Lu Chengdong brought out the most elite guard team of the Lu family—
Those who frequently stayed in the pce cer!
They were the real trump card of the Lu family and represented the top-tier elites of the Lu family’s strength.
These people usually practiced secret techniques on the Zodiac Lotus Shadow with Lu Chengdong in the pce cer and seldom ventured out.
Only in extremely important situations would they choose to leave.
Within there, the White Lotus became the perfect remedy to dispel their heart demon.
Whenever tormented by heart demons, these people would kneel before the White Lotus and bask in its sacred grace.
But now, the prophet was dead, killed by Lu Chengdong himself!
Thus, he needed to solve a problem.
How to eliminate the heart demon and allow those practicing the Zodiac Lotus Shadow to break free from the White Lotus.
The good news was that the White Lotus was still there and could continue to provide assistance.
However, with the prophet’s death, the one who gifted them the White Lotus was gone. Whether the White Lotus would encounter problems in the future was unknown and unclear.
The unknown was dangerous, and since Lu Chengdong chose to take a risk, he needed to quickly resolve any unstable factors.
No one knew how long the White Lotus could remain stable; once it failed, he would face the fact that the strongestbatants of the Lu family would go mad.
That would make the situation extremely difficult to manage.
This was why Lu Chengdong urgently wanted to create a significant momentum.
He needed a rtively stable environment to focus on researching his troubling heart demon.
At the very least, the White Lotus seemed stable for now.
And ying Dragon Dance was the quickest way to resolve this dispute, as Lu Chengdong had no better choice.
His men were well aware of this and were thrilled to see Dragon Dance returning alone with a dragon.
Even though, just a few minutes earlier, they were still afraid,
fearing they would be killed by the flying dragon.
"Our people are already on their way." A steward of the Lu family shouted loudly from among the crowd, "Dragon Dance, do you really think you can take us all on by yourself?"
"Perhaps I can’t, but you forget that I also have a flying dragon." Dragon Dance pointed at the Lu family members and said in a deep voice, "Kill them!"
The flying dragon raised its head and roared.
In an instant, lightning spewed from its mouth.
The members of the Lu family seemed prepared, scattering quickly.
Only a few unfortunate ones, due to their slow steps, died under the lightning of the flying dragon.
The rest seized the opportunity, grabbing weapons and charging forward.
"Retreat!" Dragon Dance drew the longsword from her waist and charged at them.
The opposing group had nearly a hundred people, including some skilled fighters.
Fending off these attackers would be extremely challenging for Dragon Dance.
She moved with incredible speed, weaving like a phantom.
Blood sttered, and several members of the Lu family fell to the ground.
But the Lu family’s advantage in numbers quickly became apparent.
In just a few seconds, Dragon Dance was engulfed in a sea of Lu family members.
The remaining family members charged once again.
"Go!" The female officer, seeing the dire situation, charged forward with her weapon.
Though her skills were decent, she was ultimately just a woman.
Staying by Dragon Dance’s side wasn’t due to her strength but her ability to aplish tasks assigned by Dragon Dance.
In less than three moves, the female officer was killed by the Lu family.
More than a dozen members of the Lu family, like madmen, began ughtering Dragon n members.
ng!
But at that moment, a knife fell to the ground.
Just as the Lu family was ready to finish off the Dragon n’s women and children, they saw this familiar knife on the ground.
Instinctively, they stepped back.
A chill ran down their spines.
They recognized the owner of this knife too well.
Only a few minutes ago, this knife had just severed Lu Qianqiu’s head.
"Persistent as a ghost?"
Someone cursed.
After taking a few steps back, they realized something was off.
Behind them, the flying dragon swept across, and Dragon Dance’s frenzied shing left only a dozen or so Lu family members in the charge.
Originally, these few should have been enough to wipe out the remnants of the Dragon n, but the presence of this knife made thingsplicated.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The sound of boots stepping on the ground echoed.
Julius Reed, wearing ck leather gloves, walked out.
"Brothers, it’s just him alone, kill him!"
Someone shouted, brandishing a scimitar and charging forward.
Moving swiftly, Julius Reed leaned back, caught the man’s wrist with one hand, and twisted fiercely!
Slice!
The man’s scimitar slit his own throat.
He fell to the ground.
Pushing away the corpse before him, Julius Reed swiftly reached the Knife Abernathy stuck in the ground, grabbing it forcefully!
Swoosh!
The Knife Abernathy tore up the broken tiles.
The Lu family members instinctively shielded their eyes.
In that brief moment, Julius Reed swung the Knife Abernathy down!
Three men fell into a pool of blood.
ng!
Julius Reed inserted the Knife Abernathy back into its sheath.
