Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Charging in Alone, Slaying Two Commanders
On Sword Thinking Peak...
Lu Chao was still frantically slaughtering the Three Flames Soldiers and Horses ascending the peak.
But at this moment, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he muttered, "Dragon Flame Master Wang actually came, too. The old master shouted to warn me that Zheng Liling and Ming Huawan are on their way to kill me. Ming Huasheng might even emerge from the Forbidden Land."
Mulling over these words, Lu Chao’s gaze shot toward Zeng Quan and the others rushing through the distant mountains.
’Dragon Flame Master Wang hasn’t fought in years. Though his realm is extremely high, he has no combat experience. His status is too important to risk.’
’And Elder Dongfang can’t possibly hold back all the enemy experts by himself...’
As this thought crossed his mind, Lu Chao’s gaze suddenly shifted to the base of Sword Thinking Peak.
His entire body trembled violently... VMMMM!
Lu Chao had forced a breakthrough, forcefully ascending from the Third Layer of Transformation to the Fourth Layer. He had broken through two realms in a single day.
After the breakthrough, Lu Chao thought coldly, ’I have to end this slaughter. I must quickly slay the Three Flames Commanders. I have to finish my battle before Zheng Liling and the others arrive.’
With that thought, Lu Chao looked at Cheng Yunsu and said, "Xiao Su’er, take my place for a moment. Kill anyone who makes it to the top."
As soon as he finished speaking...
WHOOSH! Lu Chao shot off Sword Thinking Peak, leaping high into the air and fixing his gaze on the Three Flames Commander and the Eagle Flame Commander.
He saw their deathly pale faces, a result of their fall from the sky.
In that instant, Lu Chao immediately deduced that the fall had severely disrupted the meridians of the two commanders. He had a prime opportunity to slay them...
Without a moment’s hesitation, Lu Chao roared coldly, "Kill!"
It was as he’d decided: he had to kill the commanders of the Three Great Flame Countries before Zheng Liling and the other experts arrived.
If he left the Three Flames Soldiers and Horses leaderless, he could focus the Dragon Flame Soldiers and Horses on dealing with Zheng Liling, or perhaps even force his retreat directly.
At the same time, the Three Flames Commander and the Eagle Flame Commander were grinning menacingly...
They, of course, had also heard the Dragon Flame King’s roar. They knew that not only was Zeng Quan coming, but Patriarch Zheng Liling was on his way as well. Although Zheng Liling’s intervention would cause a great deal of trouble later, at least this battle would be won.
As for Ming Huawan...
Although it was strange that an expert from the Great Wu Empire had also come, they couldn’t afford to worry about that now.
However... "KILL!"
A terrifying cry of "Kill!" suddenly rang in their ears, a sound that vibrated from beneath a mask. The Three Flames Commander and his companion snapped their heads up to see the masked Lu Chao pouncing down from Sword Thinking Peak to kill them.
The Three Flames Commander stared in disbelief, subconsciously trying to release his True Qi...
But... BANG!
Before the Three Flames Commander could even regulate his True Qi, Lu Chao was upon him, his sword thrusting toward the center of the commander’s brow.
Not daring to be slow, the Three Flames Commander could only haphazardly blast out his True Qi to defend himself.
His meridians were already in disarray from the fall, and now, as he struggled to block Lu Chao’s sword, he was forced into a frantic retreat.
Then, with a SPURT, the Three Flames Commander violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Meanwhile...
The Eagle Flame Commander came to his senses and roared, "Fake Lu Chao, you actually dared to come down here? I’ll destroy you!"
But the Eagle Flame Commander’s fall had been even worse than the Three Flames Commander’s. He was more heavily injured. When he went to attack, he found the True Qi in his body was in complete chaos.
Before he could react, Lu Chao’s sword had already arrived... SHLICK!
A single slash across his neck sent the Eagle Flame Commander’s head flying high into the air, plunging him instantly into endless darkness.
Lu Chao ignored the Eagle Flame Commander’s death and landed heavily on the ground...
He gripped his blood-drenched sword and stared at the Three Flames Commander. "That’s four of Sword Tooth City’s six great commanders down."
The Eagle Flame Commander was indeed the fourth Commander of the Six Flames that Lu Chao had killed.
His gaze swept the area, but he saw no sign of Guan Zanyi. He spoke coolly, "Three Flames Commander, or should I say, commander of the Wolf Flame Kingdom... you’re next."
With that, Lu Chao charged forward without the slightest hesitation.
The Three Flames Commander was still reeling from the shock of the Eagle Flame Commander’s death, his eyes wide in terror.
Seeing Lu Chao’s terrifying aura, he roared, "What are you all standing there for? Attack! All of you, attack!"
He was surrounded by a large number of his soldiers.
But right now, every single one of them was frozen in shock at the Eagle Flame Commander’s death. ’Useless fools,’ he thought.
"Kill! Kill them!"
At the Three Flames Commander’s order, the Three Flames Soldiers and Horses snapped out of their daze and charged at Lu Chao.
But...
Many of the Three Flames’ experts had already died on Sword Thinking Peak. Now, there were simply not enough skilled fighters left by the Three Flames Commander’s side.
Seeing this, Lu Chao suddenly swapped the sword in his hand for a long spear...
The aura of the Dragon General Bone erupted from him as he unleashed one of its Martial Techniques, the Fury Dragon Spear Slash. He continuously cut down swaths of the Three Flames Soldiers and Horses.
Screams continuously tore through the sky.
With spear in hand, Lu Chao single-handedly sent his enemies flying as he steadily closed in on the Three Flames Commander.
The Three Flames Commander was afraid. Truly afraid...
He was a True Fate Realm expert, but his True Qi was currently in chaos. Overcome by fear, he suddenly turned to flee, seeking to hide behind his soldiers. Of course he had to retreat, retreat, retreat.
However, killing intent erupted in Lu Chao’s eyes. "Die!"
Suddenly, Lu Chao hurled the long spear from his hand. The tip viciously pierced the back of the Three Flames Commander, who had just turned to run.
THUD! The force of the impact pinned the Three Flames Commander brutally to a large boulder.
Indeed, Lu Chao’s spear had pierced straight through the Three Flames Commander’s back, its power carrying his body and pinning him to the stone.
Blood flowed endlessly from the Three Flames Commander’s body...
THUD...
Lu Chao took another step forward. The might of a Dragon General rolled off him in waves, pressing down on the Three Flames soldiers and forcing them back, not daring to advance.
The Eagle Flame Commander was dead. The Tiger Flame Commander, Guan Zanyi, had vanished. The Three Flames Commander was about to die. And from all directions, the battle cries of the Dragon Flame Academy’s thirty-five contingents echoed around them.
At this moment, the Three Flames soldiers were afraid, utterly terrified.
Lu Chao’s mask was already a source of terror for the soldiers of the Flame Countries, and the aura of the Dragon General Bone emanating from his body only deepened their fear.
One by one, the hands gripping their Weapons began to tremble uncontrollably.
Then, Lu Chao strode to the Three Flames Commander’s back and once again gripped the shaft of his spear.
He said coolly, "I originally thought all three of you Flame Commanders would be here. Even with all three of you heavily injured, it would have been a bitter fight for me. I didn’t expect Guan Zanyi to be missing."
"In that case, I’ll be taking this victory."
As his words fell, he yanked out the spear!
The Three Flames Commander let out a bloodcurdling scream, then couldn’t help but roar, "Guan Zanyi, where the hell did you run off to?! If you’re not dead, I swear I won’t let you go even as a ghost... AGH!"
As he spoke, Lu Chao’s spear pierced through his throat.
And with the death of the Three Flames Commander... THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
The surrounding Three Flames soldiers and officers collapsed to the ground like boneless heaps. Lu Chao spoke again: "Of the Six Flames Commanders, you were the fifth."
