Lu Shang was finding it difficult to fight against Chen; most of the magical beasts of Lu Shang had been killed and were on the ground, lifeless."You have no idea how much pain I was in when I heard the things you guys did to my father!" shouted Lu Shang in rage as he flew towards Chen. Lu Shang was skillfully swinging his sword at Chen, who swiftly dodged them with ease. The battle between them now seemed like a fight between two experts. Lu Shang's stance was good, while Chen's was also solid, but Lu Shang had more speed.As they continued their duel, Lu Shang quickly noticed that he couldn't win this fight. He was losing every time he attacked Chen. He knew that if he were to continue fighting Chen, he would soon be defeated and would eventually give him an opportunity to strike at him and kill him. So he decided to change strategy.He moved backward away from Chen, leaving a big space between them. Lu Shang kept his sword, then withdrew the bow that was in his back and let fly
After making Chen unconscious, Lu Shang looked around for a strong robe in the forest, but he couldn't find one. He thought about what he could use to tie Chen up in order for him not to be able to escape in case he woke up. Finally, he decided to use rope made from bamboo and hemp that was not far from the lake.After tying and making sure he tied Chen in a way that he couldn't loose the rope easily without the help of another person, he started to walk towards the direction Qian followed to hide herself. Due to the magical beast that he sent, which secretly followed Qian, he was able to locate where Qian was.He found out that she was hiding behind a stone wall on top of the hill. At first he was startled to see her, but then he saw how happy she looked upon his arrival after so long. "Qian, are you okay?" Lu Shang asked while approaching Qian. "Yes, I am.""Sorry, I have to send you away." "I don't want you to be harmed, which is why I sent you away.""It's fine now...it's over al
He summoned some of the trusted guards, and they immediately began to make preparations.The guards selected were five. As the team of spies assembled, Lu Shang began to train them in the ways of espionage. He taught them how to blend in, how to gather information, and how to avoid detection. These were crucial skills for the mission ahead, and he wanted to make sure that they were prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. Within several hours, he was already teaching them.With the spies ready, Lu Shang gave the order for the operation to begin, and the operation will be carried out tomorrow. They would fly into the Yuan kingdom under the cover of darkness. Some would enter the palace, while others would try to get information from the citizens of the kingdom. Lu Shang had a plan laid out, and everything was going according to it. With this task well underway, Lu Shang decided to get some rest before the big day. He slept peacefully in his room, not knowing what fate awaited him t
Already inside the palace, all they have to do now is look for the right information carefully, or else. This was purely a suicide mission for them.Lu Shang had his own plan for how he would carry out the operation. The little cutie that had been with him, hiding within his body, revealed itself and then stood on the shoulder of Lu Shang, looking around the place with its eyes.What Lu Shang was planning to do was get the little cutie to enter the throne room. Since the little cutie was a class 2 magical beast, it already had a high level of intelligence on its own, so it wouldn't find it difficult to intrude into the throne room without getting noticed. Furthermore, Lu Shang didn't think much about this move either. All he wanted was for the magical beast to enter the throne room and be able to hear what was going on in there. As long as the magical beast gets inside that throne room, he will also be able to also hear what the little cutie is hearing since he is the owner and tamer
"Congratulations and well done; you have successfully cut down the tree targets and have the chance to advance to the next trial," a voice said.Yin Deng, who was sitting on the ground, stood up after hearing the voice. He looked around, trying to see the person talking, but couldn't find the person behind the voice."There is a reward for you in passing this trial; you can select three plants here if you want," the voice added.When he heard the voice again, he looked around, and it was then that he noticed that the energy surrounding the precious plants had been dissolved.Yin Deng was looking at all the plants with a confused expression on his face; He knew about precious plants but had never come across one before. He was looking at all the plants with strange eyes. He doesn't know which plant to choose because all plants look rare, valuable, and precious."You may pick any three you want," the voice said.Yin Deng walked forward towards the precious plants, feeling a mix of excit
The magical beasts the three guards rode traveled through the sky, moving at a high speed towards the Keban kingdom without slowing down. Lu Shang, who also rode a magical beast, followed them quietly and cautiously from behind, trying not to be seen. If the guards noticed him, they might change direction and pretend not to be headed to the Keban kingdom. This is because the three guards were aware of Lu Shang's identity as the chief guard of defense, and seeing him now could cause trouble.As the guards moved closer to the Keban kingdom, the magical beast of Lu Shang suddenly started to move faster towards the guards magical beast. Hearing the flapping of winds, the three guards turned to see what was going on behind them, when they turned back they saw a fast speeding magical beast flying towards they. When they saw the person on the back of the magical beast, they immediately recognized the person to be the chief guard of defense and the son-in-law of the king of the Keban kingdom.
The magical beasts that the guards were on dropped to the ground and stood there as if they were expecting someone.The three guards jumped down from the back of the magical beast and then looked around, trying to see if anyone was in sight. They couldn't see anyone."What the hell is wrong with this damn magical beast?" One of the guards roared out loud with a visible angry expression on his face. He couldn't believe that, when they were already so close to the royal palace of the Keban kingdom, the magical beast would fall out of their control."Seems like something is wrong," another guard said, looking around with his eyes fixed on all corners of the forest, trying to see if there was anything out of the ordinary he would see."But why is it that Lu Shang, the chief guard of defense of the Keban kingdom, is coming from the same direction we came from?" A guard, putting on a golden armor and white robe, with a sword hung on his back and his eyes shining like a sparkling sword, said
They surrounded Lu Shang in a triangular way, putting Lu Shang in the middle of their three."Do we really have to go through this?" Lu Shang said, smiling with a calm look on his face.The three started towards Lu Shang with their weapons in their hands.Lu Shang had already drawn out his sword from his back, ready to fight against the three. He was confident, fighting against the three without difficulty.Damon released two arrows toward Lu Shang, who easily dodged the arrows one by one. Shadow came to the front of Lu Shang and then slashed down with the sword in his hand.Lu Shang jumped back and easily avoided the attack. Lu Shang ran toward Sparkling Sword Lord and then started to fight against him; he knew that Sparkling Sword Lord was the strongest among the three and would be the hardest and most difficult to defeat, so he had to defeat him first before the others.With a speed faster than the blink of an eye, Lu Shang swung his sword in an arc, slicing through the air in a sh
