Chapter 73: Sentence you to death and enter the palace
As the darkness in Lu Kai's hand surged, Luo Fei was horrified to find that she was actually retreating, but no matter how she flapped her wings, she could not resist the attraction of this huge force.
The next moment, Lu Kai suddenly appeared in front of Luo Fei and grabbed her neck. The latter immediately changed back to human form from a giant eagle and could no longer maintain the transformed state. No matter how Luo Fei struggled, she could not break free from Lu Kai's iron-like hand.
Lu Kai didn't care about Luo Fei's reaction at all. He took off the Tongzijian An Gang from his waist with his other hand and looked at it by himself.
"Oh, right!" Lu Kai suddenly turned around and said to Luo Fei, "Four years ago, I could have let it go because you chopped off my legs, just because you were meritorious in offering the knife."
Luo Fei couldn't help trembling when she heard that. She never dreamed that the strange man who suddenly appeared in front of her was actually the thief who escaped from him four years ago.
"But, how could he be so strong? How did his leg heal?" Luo Fei was terrified. "Besides, could I have just ignored it? No... No, he wanted to kill me!"
Luo Fei really wanted to beg for mercy at this moment, but she couldn't utter a word because Lu Kai was strangling her neck.
Lu Kai ignored her reaction and continued, "But you should never, ever take pleasure in killing civilians outside the city. Therefore, on behalf of 'Divine Punishment', I sentence you to death."
After saying that, Lu Kai threw Tongzi Qie An Gang lightly, then drew the sword out of its sheath with one hand with a "clang" sound, and stabbed it fiercely into Luo Fei's chest, piercing his heart and killing him instantly.
After doing all this, Lu Kai threw Luo Fei's body aside with his left hand as if he was throwing away garbage, and with his right hand, he swung the Tongzi Qie An Gang, which was not stained with blood to begin with, and inserted the blade back into the scabbard in mid-air.
Glancing at Luo Fei's body, Lu Kai was filled with emotion. Four years ago, he was no match for Luo Fei in one move, but now, killing him was as easy as killing a chicken, without any effort.
However, Lu Kai did not sigh for long, but continued to wield his newly acquired Tongjiqi Yasunaga and started the killing god mode.
With Lu Kai's current level of Observation Haki, it is more than enough to cover half of Gaocheng, and all members of the guard team cannot escape Lu Kai's detection.
Moreover, these people were very concentrated in order to capture Lu Kai. Within more than ten minutes, no one in the 500-man escort team was left alive.
It has to be said that Tongziqi Yasunaga is worthy of being one of the Twelve Great Swords. The sharpness and sword intent really surprised Lu Kai.
"This knife is really good. Brother Olin will definitely like it!" Lu Kai said with emotion as he looked at the beautifully shaped Tongziqie An Gang that exuded a cold light.
After doing all this, Lu Kai did not continue the killing, but rushed towards the palace.
On the other side, Olin led his army to attack major factories. With Olin's strength, the guards of those factories were not even grasshoppers.
As the guards who resisted in the factories were killed one by one, more and more people were rescued.
The people led by Olin immediately comforted these enslaved people and told them that the rebels were attacking Gaocheng and needed their strength.
Originally, Olin thought that these hopeless people would not react to their proposal, but what he did not expect was that these people seemed to suddenly come alive, and they all beat their chests and stamped their feet and roared, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.
Many people picked up the weapons of the dead guards and rushed to the high city screaming, as if they wanted to vent all the grievances, hatred and anger they had suffered.
The lower city is in complete chaos.
Countless people took out kitchen knives, iron rods, and even wooden sticks from their homes and took to the streets, following the armored resistance forces to search for the whereabouts of the soldiers in the lower city.
Whenever any soldier tried to fight back, countless people would rush up and beat them to death.
At this moment, those who have hatred will take revenge, and those who have been wronged will complain about their injustice.
Some of the nobles' lackeys who usually liked to oppress the people could not rest in peace even after their death. Their bodies were dragged by the people and paraded through the streets. Countless people greeted their corpses, venting the resentment that had been pent up in their hearts for many years.
And Lu Kai had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
Even though Gaocheng was in complete chaos, there was still no movement in the palace. However, Lu Kai discovered through his observation Haki that troops were being deployed in the palace.
However, these people had no intention of rushing out of the palace to quell the unrest. Instead, they all gathered outside a palace, surrounded the palace, and formed a defensive formation.
It was obvious that the king had no intention of saving those nobles. As long as their own safety was guaranteed, he didn't care if the world outside collapsed.
As two huge slashes crossed over the gate, the broken gate of the palace fell heavily to the ground. Lu Kai entered the palace and strode towards the palace surrounded by the imperial guards.
The moment they saw Lu Kai appear, the imperial guards rushed towards him, waving their weapons and shouting.
With Tongziqie An Gang in his right hand, Lu Kai rushed into the imperial army with one of the twin swords in his left hand, swinging the two swords without hesitation.
At this moment, Lu Kai was just an emotionless killing machine, moving quickly in the battlefield, and every time he attacked, a soldier of the Imperial Guard would die.
Three minutes later, there was no one standing next to Lu Kai, and there were corpses piled up around him.
More than half of the five hundred imperial guards rushed forward, but they all disappeared in a moment. The remaining imperial guards were filled with fear and dared not move forward again.
They were indeed brave, but this was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre. The man with the ghost face in front of them was simply a devil, and they would only die if they rushed forward.
"A bunch of trash." A cold voice sounded at this time. A man dressed in the uniform of the palace guard captain glanced coldly at the remaining imperial guards and scolded, "As the saying goes, you should raise an army for a thousand days but deploy it for a moment. Your duty is to protect the safety of the king and the royal family. Do you think you are worthy of your status if you retreat now?"
The soldiers all stared at each other in amazement, and then lowered their heads. Some soldiers were still thinking, "If you can do it, then go ahead."
Then, in their eyes, the captain of the guards really walked forward and confronted Lu Kai at a distance of about ten meters.
"Since the founding of the Kingdom of Lafia, you are the first person who dares to break into the palace and act so presumptuously." The chief guard said coldly: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
"If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you wasting your words? Or are you saying this on purpose for those bastards in the palace to hear?
"Then as long as you defeat me, you can get promoted, get rich, marry a beautiful and rich woman and reach the peak of your life?" Lu Kai said impatiently.
